Description

  The present invention relates to an exercise assisting device configured by using a rubber member formed in a ring shape and forging the body.

  Traditionally, expanders are well known because they can be easily used as exercise assistive devices to train the body, and many people love them. In this conventional expander, the ends of multiple metal springs are hooked and fixed to the handle, the handles hooked to the ends of the metal spring are each gripped by hand, and the pulling arms are moved horizontally to the left and right. By opening it, you can train your arm and chest muscles.

In recent years, people's interest in exercise assisting equipment has increased, and the emergence of exercise assisting equipment that can be used by people of wheelchairs, people in bed, and all people, regardless of age or sex, is expected. In particular, there has been a long-awaited emergence of rehabilitation after illness and the emergence of exercise assistive devices that can be used safely and easily by persons with physical disabilities.
Therefore, the present inventor has conventionally used two ring-shaped rubber members by using at least two ring-shaped rubber members and a ring-shaped rubber member formed by forming a rubber material that is stretchable and formed into a string shape into a ring shape. A stop member that is fitted and fixed at one arbitrary position is fixed, and the position where the stop member is slidably mounted and fixed is adjustable, and the stop member of the ring-shaped rubber member is sandwiched An exercise assisting device has been proposed in which a ring member that passes through the wrist or ankle is attached in the vicinity of one or both grips (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described.
FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of an exercise assisting device according to the present invention.
In FIG. 1, the exercise assisting device 1 according to the present invention regulates the movement of the rubber member 2, the ring members 3 and 4 fixed to the ends of the rubber member 2, the adjustment member 5, and the adjustment member 5. The stop member 6 and the opening position restricting member 7 are configured.

  The rubber member 2 is formed of at least one member (in this embodiment, one member) that has elasticity and is formed in a string shape. In this embodiment, the rubber member 2 is formed in a tube shape, and may be composed of either a natural rubber material or a synthetic rubber material. The rubber member 2 may not be formed in a tube shape but may be a round string as long as it has elasticity. The rubber member 2 is formed of a single rubber tube in this embodiment, but is not necessarily a tube, and is not necessarily formed of a single tube. There may be a plurality of books.

  The rubber member 2 is formed with a ring 8 at one end, with the ends of one rubber member 2 aligned and aligned. The ring 8 of the rubber member 2 is, for example, a portion where the rubber member 2 is wound around a human torso, and a cushion material 9 is fitted to the rubber member 2 at the portion of the ring 8 as shown in FIG. . The cushion material 9 is formed in a cylindrical shape, is fitted to the rubber member 2, and is slidably attached so as to be positioned at the portion of the ring 8 of the rubber member 2. The position of the rubber member 2 can be moved within the range of the portion of the ring 8.

  The cushion material 9 fitted to the rubber member 2 in the portion of the ring 8 is formed at least as long as the length of the ring 8 of the rubber member 2 in a steady state (a state where the rubber member 2 is not extended). ing. The length of the cushion material 9 is formed such that when the human torso is inserted into the ring 8 portion of the rubber member 2, the length is at least near the flank of the human torso (optimally, the human body It is formed to the length around the body). When the rubber member 2 is pulled in this state, the rubber member 2 expands, and the length of the rubber member 2 in the portion of the wheel 8 is longer than the length of the cushion material 9. At this time, the position of the cushion material 9 can be slid and moved to an arbitrary position.

  Further, the cushion material 9 may be formed by one as shown in FIG. 2, but it is divided into two as shown in FIG. 3, and may be constituted by two cushion materials 9a and 9b. Good. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the cushion member is constituted by two cushion materials 9a and 9b. This is because the portion of the ring 8 of the rubber member 2 can be folded in two when the exercise assisting device 1 is stored. That is, when the exercise assisting device 1 is not used, if the portion of the ring 8 of the rubber member 2 is formed of one cushion material 9, when the cushion material 9 is folded and stacked, This is because the cushioning material 9 tries to be straightened by the restoring force and does not go smoothly.

  In this embodiment, the cushion material 9 (9a, 9b) is made of a urethane material having a shape-retaining property that prevents the rubber member 2 from forming the ring 8 of the rubber member 2 into the body. The cushion material 9 is provided with shape retention so that the rubber member 2 does not bite the formation portion of the ring 8 of the rubber member 2, and is not necessarily composed of a urethane material. Any material may be used as long as the member 2 has a shape-retaining property that prevents the formation of the ring 8 of the rubber member 2 from biting into the body and has elasticity.

  The ring members 3 and 4 are fixed to both ends of one rubber member 2. The ring members 3 and 4 are configured as shown in FIGS. Since both the ring member 3 and the ring member 4 have the same configuration, the ring member 3 will be described with reference to FIG. The ring member 3 is fixed to the end portion of the rubber member 2. A locking member 10 formed in a funnel shape is press-fitted into the tube at the end of the rubber member 2, and the ring member 3 is connected to the end of the rubber member 2 by press-fitting the locking member 10 into the tube. It is designed not to fall out of the department.

  The ring member 3 has an engagement fitting 11 that fits the rubber member 2 and engages with the locking member 10 so that the ring member 3 does not fall off from the end of the rubber member 2. This engagement metal fitting 11 is made of metal and is formed in a ring shape. The engagement fitting 11 is formed around the outer peripheral portion to form a receiving portion 11a. The receiving portion 11a of the engagement metal fitting 11 is attached with a portion where the end portions 12a and 12b of one belt-like string 12 made of a belt-like member having no stretchability are overlapped and fixed. ing. Therefore, the engagement metal fitting 11 is embedded in the portion where the end portions 12a, 12b of the string 12 are overlapped.

  The belt-like string 12 is made of a material that does not have elasticity, for example, a cloth, and a fixing portion 13 is formed so that a part of the vicinity of the locking member 10 is not separated. The band-like string 12 is formed in a ring shape by the fixing portion 13. A cushion material 14 formed in a cylindrical shape is fitted to the band-shaped string 12 formed in the ring shape. In the present embodiment, the belt-like string 12 is made of cloth. However, the belt-like string 12 is not limited to cloth but may be made of resin as long as the material does not have stretchability.

The cushion material 14 fitted to the belt-like string 12 is formed at least as long as the half length of the belt-like string 12. The length of the cushion material 14 is formed such that when a person's foot is inserted into the belt-like string 12, the cushion material 14 is at least at the position of the back of the person's foot. That is, the cylindrical cushion material 14 comes to a position where it hits the instep when the foot is put on the ring member 3.
In this embodiment, the cushion material 14 is made of a urethane material. The cushion material 14 does not necessarily need to be made of a urethane material, and can be made so that it does not hurt when the band-shaped string 12 hits at a position where it hits the instep when the foot is put on the ring member 3. Anything is fine.

The ring member 4 is formed in the same manner as the ring member 3, but the human foot is different from the left and right, so the position where the foot hits the instep when the foot is put on the ring member 4 is It is different from the position where it hits the instep. For this reason, the ring member 4 has the same configuration as the ring member 3, but the cylinder-shaped cushion material 14 fitted to the band-shaped string 12 formed in the ring shape is different from the ring member 3. On the other side.
Reference numeral 30 denotes a cover, which is formed of a hook-like locking member 10 inserted in the end of the rubber member 2 and a part of the belt-like string 12 provided outside the locking member 10. It is something to cover. The cover 30 is a single belt-like string 12 made of a belt-like member that does not have elasticity on the outside of the funnel-shaped locking member 10 inserted at the end of the rubber member 2. The end portions 12a and 12b are overlapped with each other to form a fixed portion, which is then covered so as not to be visible from the outside, and is constituted by a stretchable cylindrical belt. Therefore, the cover 30 may be made of any material as long as it is stretchable and can be hidden from view.

The adjustment member 5 is configured as shown in FIG. The adjusting member 5 is constituted by a protective ring 15 and a cylindrical member 16. The diameter of the protective ring 15 is smaller than the outer diameter of the cylindrical member 16 and larger than the inner diameter. The protective ring 15 is formed by aligning two end portions of one rubber member 2 so as to form a ring at one end, and slidably fitted into the two rubber members 2 aligned at any one position. In order to prevent the size of the bundling ring 8 from expanding.
The cylindrical member 16 is slidably fitted to the two rubber members 2 so as to hold the ring 8 so that the size of the ring 8 does not increase. The cylindrical member 16 is used to determine the size of the ring 8 that is formed by aligning the end portions of one rubber member 2 with each other. By moving and stopping at an arbitrary position, the size of the ring 8 that aligns and forms the end portions of one rubber member 2 in two is determined. The cylinder member 16 is made of a urethane material.

In this way, the adjustment member 5 determines the size of the ring 8 that aligns and forms the ends of one rubber member 2 with the cylindrical member 16, and stops the cylindrical member 16 at that location. Even if the ring 8 side formed so as to be aligned with the two ends of one rubber member 2 is divided into two parts as shown in FIG. It does not move in the length direction. This is because the side of the wheel 8 formed in alignment with the two ends of one rubber member 2 is split into two to pull the rubber member 2 to open the cylindrical member 16 as shown in FIG. Even if the rubber member 2 is pulled into two to open the cylindrical member 16, further opening is restricted by the action of the protective ring 15, and the rubber member 2 is divided into two and the cylindrical member 16. This is because the force in the length direction of the rubber member 2 that is generated when the rubber member 2 is pulled so as to be opened is regulated by the stopper member 6.
As described above, the adjusting member 5 is formed by aligning two end portions of one rubber member 2 so as to form a ring 8 at one end, and slidably fitting the rubber member 2 aligned in two to make an arbitrary one. It has the effect | action which adjusts the magnitude | size of the bundle ring 8 in a location.

  The stopper member 6 is configured as shown in FIG. 8 and is attached to the rubber member 2 aligned in two on the ring members 3 and 4 side of the adjustment member 5. The stopper member 6 has a stopper member main body 17 in which a belt-like plate material is formed in a C shape, and the stopper member main body 17 is provided with projecting portions 18a and 18b protruding inward on both sides. Holes 17a and 17b are formed in two places on the stop member main body 17, and the two rubber members 2 aligned in the two holes 17a and 17b pass therethrough. An engaging portion 19 is formed at one end of the stopper member body 17. The engaging portion 19 is provided with a plurality of mountain-shaped protrusions extending in the width direction of the stopper member body 17. Further, the other end of the stopper member body 17 is engaged with a mountain-shaped protrusion of the engaging portion 19 to form a locking portion 20 that can be stopped.

As shown in FIG. 9, the stopper member 6 presses the locking portion 20 in the direction indicated by the arrow A and engages with the engaging portion 19, so that the two rubber members 2 are aligned with the protruding portion 18 a and the protruding portion. Tighten with 18b. When the two rubber members 2 aligned by the protrusions 18a and 18b are tightened, the stopper member 6 is fixed to the rubber member 2 as shown in FIG. By fixing the stopper member 6 to the rubber member 2, when the rubber member 2 is pulled so as to open the cylindrical member 16 by being divided into two, the rubber member 2 is divided into two and the cylindrical member 16 is opened. The force that pushes the adjusting member 5 in the length direction of the rubber member 2 that is generated when the rubber member 2 is pulled is regulated by the stopper member 6.
Thus, the stop member 6 is provided on the open end side of the two rubber members 2 aligned, and the adjusting member 5 is slidably fitted to the two rubber members aligned on the open side of the rubber member 2. It has the effect of restricting it from moving.

The opening position restricting member 7 is configured as shown in FIG. 10, and is attached to two rubber members 2 aligned on the ring members 3 and 4 side of the stopper member 6. The opening position restricting member 7 is slidably fitted on the open end side of the rubber member 2 aligned with the two stop members 6 and restricts the position where the rubber member 2 is opened by the two ring members 3 and 4. Is. That is, the opening position restricting member 7 is provided between the stop member 6 and the ring members 3 and 4.
The opening position restricting member 7 includes a restricting member 21 and a pressing ring 22. The regulating member 21 is formed in a cylindrical shape, and a rubber member 2 formed by aligning two end portions of the rubber member 2 is fitted in the cylindrical portion of the regulating member 21. A pressing ring 22 having a diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the regulating member 21 is fitted on the outer circumference of the regulating member 21. The holding ring 22 having a diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the restriction member 21 is fitted on the outer periphery of the restriction member 21, thereby pressing the rubber member 2 on the inner peripheral surface of the restriction member 21.

The restriction member 21 is made of a urethane material. Specifying the opening position of the ring members 3 and 4 by the restriction member 21 determines the strength when the ring members 3 and 4 are opened by putting their feet. In other words, the closer the position of the regulating member 21 is to the ring members 3 and 4, the more force is required when opening it. As described above, the strength of opening the ring members 3 and 4 by foot varies depending on the position where the regulating member 21 is set.
Therefore, the opening position restricting member 7 specifies the opening position of the ring members 3 and 4, slides on the rubber member 2 aligned with the two, and moves the opening position restricting member 7 to the specified position. Position it. Then, when both legs are put on the ring members 3 and 4 and opened, the two rubber members 2 coming out of the restricting member 21 of the opening position restricting member 7 are divided into two as shown in FIG. Even if the rubber member 2 is pulled so as to open the lower side of the regulating member 21, it does not move in the length direction of the rubber member 2 (upward in the figure).

Even if the rubber member 2 is pulled in such a way as to open the lower side of the regulating member 21, the lower side of the regulating member 21 is divided into two as shown in FIG. This is because even if the rubber member 2 is pulled so as to open the lower side of the restricting member 21, it is restricted from being opened further by the action of the pressing ring 22. When the rubber member 2 is pulled in such a way that the lower side of the regulating member 21 is opened, the regulating member 21 of the opening position regulating member 7 has a length direction of the rubber member 2 (upward direction in the figure). It acts as a moving force. However, the rubber member 2 is pulled in such a way as to open the lower side of the restricting member 21 and moves to the restricting member 21 of the opening position restricting member 7 in the length direction of the rubber member 2 (upward in the figure). Even if acting as a force, a frictional force acts on the inner surface of the cylindrical portion of the restricting member 21 and the rubber member 2, and a tightening force by the pressing ring 22 also acts, so that the opening position restricting member 7 is the length of the rubber member 2. Movement in the direction (upward in the figure) is restricted.
Thus, the opening position restricting member 7 is slidably fitted to the open end side of the rubber member 2 aligned with the two stop members 6 and restricts the opening position of the rubber member 2 by the two ring members 3 and 4. Has the effect of

FIG. 12 shows an example of use of the exercise assisting device 1 shown in FIG.
First, the portion of the ring 8 of the rubber member 2 of the exercise assisting device 1 is wound around the body 110 of the person 100. Thereafter, the adjustment member 5 is pulled up and moved to the body side of the person 100 and moved to a position (usually near the belt) suitable for the winding position of the trunk 110. Then, the stopper member 6 is moved below the adjustment member 5, and the locking portion 20 at the tip of the stopper member main body 17 is engaged with the mountain-shaped protrusion of the engaging portion 19. Accordingly, the stop member 6 prevents the adjustment member 5 from moving toward the ring members 3 and 4 in the direction away from the body side of the person 100.
After that, the one foot (for example, right foot) 120 of the person 100 is hung on the ring member 3, and the other foot (for example, left foot) 130 of the ring member 4 is hung on the ring member 3. The cushion member 14 fitted to the ring members 3 and 4 is positioned at least at the positions of the insteps 121 and 131 of the legs 120 and 130 of the person 100 when the legs 120 and 130 of the person 100 are inserted. set. Even if the cushion material 14 is not set so as to be positioned at the positions of the insteps 121 and 131 of the legs 120 and 130 of the person 100, the ring member 3 and 4 can be simply hung on the one leg 120 and 130 respectively. It is attached so as to be set at the positions of the insteps 121 and 131 of the feet 120 and 130.

  Next, the opening position restricting member 7 is moved to the ring 8 side of the rubber member 2 or the ring members 3 and 4 to determine the set position of the opening position restricting member 7. The opening position restricting member 7 is determined by a person's physical strength by exercising using the exercise assisting device 1. When the position of the opening position restricting member 7 is set close to the wheel 8 side of the rubber member 2, the ring member The force for opening the legs can be weakened by 3 and 4, and if the position of the opening position restricting member 7 is set close to the ring members 3 and 4, the force for opening the legs by the ring members 3 and 4 can be increased. . Thus, the opening position restricting member 7 arbitrarily moves to a position, thereby determining the opening strength of the ring members 3 and 4 according to the physical strength of each individual.

  When the position of the adjustment member 5 and the position of the opening position regulating member 7 are thus adjusted, the movement can be started. Thus, with the exercise assisting device 1 mounted, the user exercises to bend and stretch his / her legs or walks. In particular, with your hands behind your head, keep your legs bent and stretched and move your body up and down. Furthermore, after wearing the exercise assisting device 1, sit on the chair, and while sitting on this chair, raise one foot from the ground and lift this one foot from the ground. Or exercise to bend and stretch (with one leg raised from the ground). This position restricting member 7 is relatively easy to bend the foot by bending and stretching movement of the foot, and the pulling action by the rubber member 2 of the opening position restricting member 7, but when the foot is extended from the bent state. Requires muscle strength.

  When the person 100 wears the opening position regulating member 7 and performs an open leg exercise and a flexion / extension exercise, muscles can be applied to the foot and the legs can be trained. Here, the description is given taking a person with no physical strength and an elderly person as an example, but it is also effective when a healthy person intends to further increase physical strength. In addition, by appropriately selecting the strength of the rubber member 2 of the opening position restricting member 7, the opening position restricting member 7 that matches the physical strength of the person using the opening position restricting member 7 can be provided. It is effective for people with occupations using the body such as martial arts and sportsmen.

  FIG. 13 shows another example of use of the exercise assisting device 1 shown in FIG. That is, in the usage example of the exercise assisting device 1 illustrated in FIG. 13, the use example of the exercise assisting device 1 illustrated in FIG. 12 is used in a standing manner, whereas the exercise assisting device illustrated in FIG. It is the same as the usage example 1 and shows what the sleeping person uses.

That is, when the sleeping person 100 uses the exercise assisting device 1 to perform physical fitness exercise, first, the portion of the ring 8 of the rubber member 2 of the exercise assisting device 1 is wound around the body 110 of the person 100. The adjustment member 5 is moved to the body side 100 and pulled up, and the locking portion 20 at the tip of the locking member main body 17 of the locking member 6 is engaged with the mountain-shaped protrusion of the engaging portion 19 to position the adjusting member 5. To regulate.
Thereafter, the cushion member 14 fitted to the ring members 3 and 4 is positioned at the positions of the insteps 121 and 131 of the legs 120 and 130 of the person 100 so that one leg of the person 100 (for example, , Right foot) 120 and ring member 4 on the other foot (for example, left foot) 130.

When the position of the adjustment member 5 and the position of the opening position regulating member 7 are thus adjusted, the movement can be started. The exercise assisting device 1 is attached to the person 100 who is sleeping in this manner, and the legs are opened or bent and stretched while the person is sleeping. That is, the sleeping person 100 performs an open leg exercise (exercise of opening or closing a leg) and a flexion / extension exercise (exercise of bending one leg to kick air in the air) while sleeping. .
This position restricting member 7 is relatively easy to bend the foot by bending and stretching movement of the foot, and the pulling action by the rubber member 2 of the opening position restricting member 7, but when the foot is extended from the bent state. Requires muscle strength. In addition, the position restricting member 7 makes it easy to bend the foot, but when performing a motion (open leg motion) for opening or closing the foot with the foot stretched, I need.
Therefore, when the person 100 wears the opening position regulating member 7 and performs an open leg exercise and a flexion / extension exercise, muscles can be applied to the foot and the legs can be trained.

  In addition, it goes without saying that the present invention can be variously modified without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
