JP2004283525A - Inversion hanging health appliance - Google Patents

Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the following problems: a user cannot continue to hang for a long time in a normal hanging health appliance since the whole weight is supported by grip strength; the appliance is less effective than expected for required labor since the weight for the traction of a lower back is restricted to a lower half body; mounting is troublesome even in an inversion hanging health appliance though the treatment of lumbago is one of purposes, and a certain degree of physical strength or athletic ability is required for usage in order to stretch the whole body. <P>SOLUTION: The mounting is performed only by hooking legs from supporters at a low position in a horizontal state in the inversion hanging health appliance. The whole body is lifted up through the use of a rotary movement for inversion by a draw well system. Besides, the angle of inversion is freely selected by changing the height of pulleys to be a fulcrum, so that the appliance is used in response to the physical strength or health state of the user. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

Description

[0001]
[Industrial applications]
In particular, it can be easily inverted while supporting weight with the knees and ankles without the need for physical strength and athletic ability, so that anyone can use it safely for treating back pain.
Also, if the abdominal muscles can be exercised while standing upright, the sagging lower abdomen can be tightened more effectively.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Products that attach a device for hanging on the ankle and stretch the entire body straight up and stand upside down are already on the market, but it is difficult to use unless you have physical fitness and athletic ability, and some handstands Patent applications have been filed for hanging health devices, but none of them still require physical strength to hang (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
With a normal hanging health device, it is not possible to continue hanging for a long time because the entire weight is supported by the grip strength of the hand, and since the weight to pull the waist is limited to the lower body, the effect that can be expected for the labor Few.
In addition, even in the case of an inverted dangling health device, there is no physical strength or athletic ability because it is troublesome to wear or stretches out the whole body, although treatment of back pain is one of the purposes. And can not be used.
[0005]
Means for Solving the Invention
It can be worn in a low position, just horizontal, and the foot can be worn on the support. The whole body can be lifted up using the rotating motion for inverting in the manner of a slippery well. You can freely select the angle of inversion by changing the height of the fulcrum pulley, so you can use it according to the physical strength and health of the user.

【Example】
FIG. 1 shows a perspective view when the bed is in a horizontal state in order to mount the apparatus.
FIG. 2 is a lateral conceptual view in a state where the bed is inverted at (A) 90 degrees and (B) 45 degrees.
[Brief description of the drawings]
FIG. 1 is a perspective view, in which a bed is laid down.
FIG. 2 is a conceptual conceptual diagram of a lateral direction. In a state in which a bed is inverted at (A) 90 degrees or (B) 45 degrees, broken lines represent a state of reclining of a person at each angle of (A) and (B). Adjust the vertical position at the position of the pulley that supports the rope.
[Explanation of symbols]
(1) A vertical column (2) A pulley on which a rope is lifted to lift a bed (3) A bed for supporting a body (4) A support and a sponge (a cushioning material) for hanging an ankle
(5) Knee support and sponge (buffer)
(6) Support bracket for horizontally supporting the bed (7) Rope (wire)
(8) Weight and string for restoration when returning to a horizontal state from inverted

Claims (5)

To enable even people with low physical strength and athletic ability to easily stand upright and hang down, fix their bodies in a relatively low position and lay down horizontally, and then use the turning force to turn over. The body and bed are lifted in a well manner. Since the rotating force for inverting is used for lifting the bed, the rotating motion becomes gentle, the sudden rotation for inverting is suppressed, and the head can be inverted with a reasonable operation. A rope (such as a wire) for lifting the bed according to claim 1 is supported from above by a pulley, and the pulley is fixed to a horizontal bar and slid up and down with respect to a vertical column to change its position. By doing so, the height can be adjusted. In this way, the angle of inversion can be adjusted by changing the height from the floor to the pulley.
For safety reasons, it is necessary to provide a sufficient space (at least 5 cm or more) between the rope and the pillar (or bed) so that human hands are not pinched. The horizontal bar that supports the rotation of the bed is attached to the column with a slide so that it can move up and down, and the same slide is attached with a support bracket to support the bed horizontally, keeping the bed horizontal regardless of the height position be able to. Therefore, since the body can be supported in a stable posture sitting on the bed and by directly hanging the knees and ankles on the support, there is no need for cumbersome mounting of equipment or assistance of a person to be inverted. To return from the inverted state to the lying horizontal state, the weight can be used to move the center of gravity of the bed, and the horizontal state can be restored without difficulty using the principle of leverage. Should you need it, you can hold the railing to support your weight and remove the ankle directly from the support to escape. In addition to simply hanging up and standing upside down, you can do inverted abdominal exercises with a comfortable posture on your waist because you are standing upside down with your knees bent.
