Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a thrombosis, which is so-called economy syndrome wherein a passenger who has been sitting on a narrow seat for a long period of time in the airplane during a trip collapses right after an arrival, from occurring. SOLUTION: A foot placing section is provided at one end of a rubber string having elasticity, and a length-adjusting section for the rubber string is provided on the other end. Then, two pieces for respective feet are made a set. Then, respective adjusting sections are attached together with a hook to both end sections in the longitudinal direction of a rectangular box-shaped cloth having a size which can be placed on the upper end section of the backrest of an airplane seat. Thus, this exercising utensil in the airplane is formed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to exercise equipment for use in an aircraft for preventing so-called economy class syndrome, in which a passenger sitting in a narrow seat on an airplane for a long time during a trip falls due to pulmonary embolism immediately after arrival. It is.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art During the flight of an aircraft, the humidity inside the aircraft is as low as about 20%, so that it is easy to dry and lose moisture.
Since the in-flight pressure is about 80% of the normal pressure, blood flow deteriorates.
Further, since the blood circulation of the legs is extremely deteriorated because the user has been sitting in a narrow seat for a long time, a small thrombus is easily formed in the vein.

[0003]

If the patient walks after landing with a thrombus formed in the leg vein, the small thrombus moves in the blood vessel and blocks the blood vessel in the lung, resulting in pulmonary embolism, resulting in dyspnea and cardiopulmonary arrest. The deaths of many people each year are a problem around the world, and airlines that are not careful have been sued.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, the leg and foot muscles can be easily carried so that the blood flow in the legs is not deteriorated even if the user sits in the airplane for a long time. It is intended to provide a device that allows easy exercise.

[0005]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION A rubber strap (1) having elasticity is provided with a footrest (2) at one end and a length adjusting part (3) at the other end. Used as a set, each adjusting part is attached together with hooks (7) to both longitudinal ends (6) of a rectangular box-shaped cloth (5) large enough to be attached to the upper back of the aircraft seat (4), It was an exercise tool for aircraft. The rubber cord may have any elasticity such as a rod shape, a pipe shape, a band shape and the like, and may be used by bundling several pieces. Further, the footrest portion may be formed integrally with a rubber cord, but it is easier to use a hard material for use as a shoe in a narrow machine.

[0006]

According to the present invention, a rectangular box-shaped cloth (5) is placed on the upper end of the backrest of the seat in front of the seat to be seated in the aircraft, and each of the footrests (2).
Then, adjust the length of the elastic cord (1) with the adjusting part (3) so that each of the footrests is about 30 cm above the floor. Hang your toes and push your feet down to try to return your feet to their original height with the repulsive force of the rubber, so use muscles that push down with your feet in force. Because of the expansion and contraction, the same exercise as when stepping or walking is performed, and blood circulation is promoted several times every few minutes, so that it is difficult to form a thrombus. The rectangular box-shaped cloth may be in the form of a net, but it cannot be disengaged even if the foot is put on the footrest and exercised, since a force is applied below the both ends (6) in the longitudinal direction by covering the upper end of the backrest like a hat. If the seat is in the front row, hook it to the table or magazine base in front of the seat with the hook (7). If the size of the upper edge of the backrest does not match that of the rectangular box-shaped cloth, the upper edge of the backrest. It can be used by hooking on etc.
Further, if an adjusting portion is attached to the back of the backrest or the armrest during the manufacture of the aircraft and a rubber cord with a footrest is hung, all passengers can exercise their feet. The adjustment section may be fixed if the length of the rubber cord is fixed, but since the weight and the muscular strength are different between women and men, it is easier to use if the number of attachments can be changed together with the adjustment of the length of the rubber cord. .
The exercise equipment can be used not only in an aircraft but also in a long-distance bus as well as an aircraft, and can also be used in the rear seat of a passenger car. In addition, for example, if you hook the hook on the desk top plate, you can exercise your legs even when sitting at the desk,
It can also be used when you are busy with work, housework, study, etc. and do not have time to exercise.
