The stretch table 10 according to the present invention has a pedestal 20 having concave grooves 22 formed at a predetermined interval on one surface, and a surface (lower surface) facing the pedestal 20 while one end side is rotatably attached to the pedestal 20. The tread 30 is formed of a planar heating element 34, an aluminum film 35, and a ceramic plate 38 that emits far-infrared rays having a flat convex portion 36 disposed on the upper surface. And a support member 40 for adjusting an inclination angle between the pedestal 20 and the tread plate 30 by being fitted in the respective concave grooves 22 and 32 of the pedestal 20 and the tread plate 30. The support member 40 can be stored in a gap portion between the base 20 and the tread plate 30 as shown in FIG.
[0014]
The pedestal 20 will be further described.
Since the pedestal 20 is a portion corresponding to the support portion of the stretch table 10, it is preferable that the pedestal 20 be formed of a material having a load-bearing force. Of course, the pedestal 20 may not be a resin such as reinforced plastic, but may be made of ordinary plastic such as vinyl chloride. In this case, the pedestal 20 is provided with a core material such as a metal plate (not shown). ) Is preferable because the load bearing capacity can be secured.
On the other hand, if it is used with a weight limit, it is not necessary to use a synthetic resin as described above to emphasize the strength, so in order to reduce the cool feeling of the stretch base 10, Of course, the pedestal 20 can also be formed using wood.
[0015]
The pedestal 20 has substantially the same planar shape as the tread plate 30, and one end sides of the pedestal 20 and the tread plate 30 are rotatably connected by a hinge 50 as shown in FIG. 2. In the case where paulownia is used, it is preferable that the fastening bolt used for the hinge 50 is attached so as to penetrate in the thickness direction of the pedestal 20 because reliable attachment can be achieved.
[0016]
As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, concave grooves 22 for adjusting the angle with the tread plate 30 are formed on the surface (that is, the upper surface) of the pedestal 20 facing the tread plate 30 at regular intervals. Beside the concave groove 22, an inclination angle between the pedestal 20 and the tread plate 30 according to the arrangement position of the support member 40 is displayed. Further, a concave groove 25 having the same size as the concave groove 22 is disposed on the side wall 24 erected from the surface where the concave groove 22 is formed, and a convex portion 42 of a support member 40 described later is inserted. It can be stored in an internal space 60 formed by the pedestal 20 and the tread plate 30. Further, a leg 26 is formed on the bottom surface of the pedestal 20, and a non-slip rubber 28 is disposed at the tip of the leg 26. Further, a magnet 29 is disposed on the upper end surface of the pedestal 20 and can be bonded to the magnetic piece 39 disposed on the tread plate 30.
[0017]
The tread 30 will be described.
The tread plate 30 is rotatably attached to the pedestal 20 by a hinge 50. On the surface of the tread plate 30 facing the pedestal, concave grooves 32 are formed at predetermined intervals so as to contact the other end of the support member 40 having one end fitted into the concave groove 22 of the pedestal 20. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the concave groove 32 is formed in a spherical shape, and substantially fits by contacting the upper end portion of the support member 40 that is also formed in a spherical shape.
As shown in FIG. 2, a sheet heating element 34 is laid as a heater on the top surface of the tread board 30, and an aluminum film 35 for evenly spreading the heat from the sheet heating element 34 is disposed thereon. A ceramic plate 38 that emits far-infrared rays is disposed on the film 35 in an overlapping manner. Since the sheet heating element 34, the aluminum film 35, and the ceramic plate 38 are disposed so as to fit into the recess 31 formed on the upper surface of the tread plate 30, the portion on which the foot of the tread plate 30 is placed is flat. can do. The recess 31 is formed with a through hole 31 a for preventing hot air from being accumulated by the planar heating element 34.
[0018]
Further, a heel support portion 33 is formed on the end side on the side attached to the pedestal 20 so that the heel portion is supported when the pedestal 20 is ridden. Since the heel comes into contact with the heel support portion 33, it is preferable to provide a cushion material (not shown). According to this, when the inclination of the pedestal 20 and the tread is tight, the uncomfortable feeling caused by being pressed by the heel support part 33 due to its own body weight is removed, so that a suitable stretching exercise can be performed.
[0019]
The planar heating element 34 used as a heater in the present embodiment rises in a short time when power is supplied. Therefore, if the power is applied when it is desired to use it even in the cold winter season, it is immediately stretched. 10 can be put into a comfortable use state. Further, by warming the legs, blood circulation in the lower body can be promoted, metabolism can be improved, and in addition to the muscle relaxation effect by stretching exercise, an effect of refreshing the whole body can be obtained.
Further, the sheet heating element 34 can set the electric resistance to infinite when the temperature becomes a comfortable temperature (referred to as PTC characteristic) by blending the polymer used for the sheet heating element 34. Thus, by simply turning on the switch before use, the supply of power is automatically suppressed when the temperature is appropriate, so that it can be used economically and dedicated to stretching exercises.
[0020]
Further, the thermostat 52 can be disposed in the recess 31 so that the power supply can be automatically cut when an abnormal temperature rise occurs. Furthermore, by arranging the temperature controller 54 between the sheet heating element 34 and the power source, a dedicated device for temperature adjustment is arranged without controlling the temperature only by the PTC characteristic of the sheet heating element 34. As a result, the temperature can be surely adjusted, so that safety is greatly improved.
[0021]
Further, the temperature controller 54 can appropriately adjust the temperature of the heater. When the maximum output (maximum temperature) is set, the power supplied to the sheet heating element 34 is automatically set for a preset time. It is programmed to stop. When the maximum output (maximum temperature) is not set, power supply to the sheet heating element 34 is continuously performed.
[0022]
Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 4, if a flexible mat 58 such as polyurethane foam having the same thickness as the wiring 56 for supplying power to the planar heating element 34 is disposed as an insole in the recess 31 of the tread, Since the uneven surface due to 56 is eliminated and the surface can be flattened, the user-friendliness can be improved.
[0023]
The ceramic plate 38 is disposed on the planar heating element 34. The ceramic plate 38 is formed by mixing a material that emits far infrared rays. In this embodiment, alumina or zirconia is used as the far-infrared emitting material, and tourmaline is mixed in the glaze, but is not limited thereto, and powders such as barley stone, mozuna stone, germanium ore, etc. may be mixed. Is preferred. By incorporating tourmaline into the glaze, not only the far-infrared effect but also a refreshing effect by negative ions can be obtained, which is particularly preferable.
Since far-infrared rays are wavelengths that are easily absorbed by the human body, even if the muscles are cold, the muscles can be loosened by a short stretch exercise. For this reason, if the stretch base 10 according to the present embodiment is used, the muscles can be loosened easily and easily even in a short time, so the frequency of use increases naturally and continuous use is possible. Therefore, it is very suitable for health maintenance.
[0024]
Thus, by using the ceramic plate 38 that emits far-infrared rays, even when used during the winter season, when riding on the stretch base 10, the body temperature is reflected to reduce the cool feeling. Thereby, since the cool feeling may not be necessarily provided even if the sheet heating element 34 is not provided, the stretching exercise can be easily performed even in a place where there is no power source.
[0025]
Further, as shown in FIG. 3, flat convex portions 36 are arranged in a matrix on the upper surface of the ceramic plate 38. By riding on the flat convex part 36, the pressure points on the soles of the feet are moderately pressed by its own weight, so that not only the relaxation effect is enhanced, but if used continuously, the constitutional improvement by the body's natural healing power can be improved. It can be expected to be effective and contributes greatly to improving the constitution and maintaining health.
[0026]
A handle 37 is attached to the tread board 30. Since the handle 37 is rotatably attached to the side surface of the tread plate 30, it is convenient when carrying the stretch table 10.
Further, when carrying the stretch base 10, the magnet 29 and the magnetic piece 39 disposed at the upper end of the base 20 are bonded to each other, so that the gap formed by the base 20 and the tread 30 is closed. This is preferable because parts stored in the portion 60 are not lost.
[0027]
The support member 40 will be described.
FIG. 6 is an enlarged explanatory view of the support member. As shown in FIG. 5, the support member 40 is disposed like a support bar between the pedestal 20 and the tread plate 30, and is half-fitted into the concave groove 22 of the pedestal 20 and the concave groove 32 of the tread plate 30. Use. The support member 40 gradually approaches the lower end portion fitted into the concave groove 22 of the pedestal 20 between the upper end portion formed in a spherical shape and fitted in contact with the concave groove 32 of the tread plate 30. It is formed in a tapered shape that becomes wider. Further, a fitting convex portion 42 is formed at the lower end portion so that the concave and convex fitting with the concave groove 22 is ensured.
[0028]
The support member 40 has a configuration in which both the upper end and the lower end of the support member 40 are fitted in the grooves 22 and 32, respectively. However, the concave groove 32 of the tread plate and the upper end of the support member 40 are both formed into a spherical shape. It will be in the state which is fitted when the parts formed in (2) contact | abut. For this reason, the relationship of the relative position of the tread board 30 and the support member 40 can be changed slightly depending on how the load is applied. On the other hand, since the lower end portion is formed in a shape that reliably fits in and out of the rectangular concave groove 22 formed in the pedestal 20, the load from the tread plate 30 can be received with certainty. Accordingly, the load from the tread 30 can be transmitted to the pedestal 20 in an optimally fitted state at all times, which is preferable because a stable state can be maintained even when used by a heavy person.
[0029]
When the support member 40 is not used, the support member 40 can be stored in a gap (see FIG. 4) 60 between the base 20 and the tread plate 30. Since the support member 40 can fit the convex portion 42 into a concave groove (not shown) formed in the pedestal 20, the support member 40 always moves together with the stretch base 10, so the support member 40 is lost. This is preferable because it does not occur. In the present embodiment, since the battery 70 is used, the convex portion 42 is inserted into the concave groove 75a formed on the side surface of the battery case when the support member 40 is stored in the gap portion 60. It is in the form of combining.
[0030]
According to the stretch table according to the present embodiment, it is possible to alleviate the cool feeling that occurs when riding on the stretch table in winter, and it is possible to comfortably perform the stretch exercise throughout the seasons. In addition, it is possible to obtain an efficient stretch exercise and metabolism by the far infrared effect and a relaxation effect by the negative ion effect.
[0031]
As mentioned above, although the stretch stand 10 in this Embodiment has been demonstrated in detail, even if it is a structure other than this embodiment, the stretch stand 10 which concerns on this invention can be comprised.
For example, the tread plate 30 may be formed integrally with the planar heating element 34, the aluminum film 35, and the ceramic plate 38. According to this, since carrying becomes easy, it is possible to perform a stretching exercise anytime and anywhere, which leads to continuous use and is suitable for maintaining health.
Moreover, if the battery 70 is arrange | positioned as shown in FIG. 2, the usage aspect by a rechargeable will be attained. This is advantageous because it can be used even without a power source. In the case of using the rechargeable battery, it is more preferable if there is a display device such as an LED indicating the remaining amount of the rechargeable battery. Moreover, if it is a usage form without the battery 70, although the place which can be used will be restricted, the stretch table 10 can be provided at a low cost.
[0032]
Further, in the present embodiment, the planar heating element 34 is employed as the heater, but the present invention is not limited to this, and it is needless to say that a nichrome wire heater may be used. According to this, although the heat generation efficiency is lowered, it is possible to reduce the manufacturing cost, and the selling price can be reduced accordingly.
Furthermore, since it can be used not only as a stretch table but also as a foot warmer, the frequency of use becomes high and it can be used sufficiently for expenditure.
[0033]
Further, similarly to the switch 54 and the wiring 56 support member 40, it can be stored in the gap portion 60 between the base 20 and the tread plate 30. Further, only the switch 54 can be housed in the gap portion 60 and the wiring 56 can be stored by being wound around the footboard 30 through the recessed groove 32 of the footboard, so that the stowability can be improved.
Further, if the recess 31 of the tread plate is formed with a storage groove for storing the wiring without using an insole, or if the wiring 56 in the recess 31 is a flat wiring, the formation of an uneven surface due to the wiring 56 is prevented. it can.
[0034]
