FIG. 6 is a view exemplifying a state in which the user is supine on the cross pole 1 illustrated in FIG. 5;

First, the background of the present invention will be described.
There are cylindrical rod-shaped health devices used in various fields such as medical care, yoga, pilates, nursing care, sports and the like. The user, for example, is in a supine or prone position on the cylindrical health device, and performs various operations related to balance training, trunk training, stretching, or massage. However, since it is a cylindrical health device, the device itself has no limitation of rotation and has excessive instability. Thus, the types of exercise that can be performed safely on the instrument have been limited.
Therefore, the present invention limits the rotation of the health device itself by providing a plurality of protrusions on the side wall surface of the cylindrical health device. This stabilizes the health device itself, and at the same time ensures a certain instability of the human body on the health device, so that exercise which was otherwise difficult on the conventional health device is also carried out. I can do things. That is, compared with the conventional product, the physical operation method on a health appliance is changed, and the variation of exercise can be increased.

Hereinafter, embodiments according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the illustrated example.

Moreover, the protrusion 20 and the protrusion 30 protrude from the side wall surface of the rod 10. Specifically, the protrusion 20 protrudes from a position different from the protrusion 30 in a direction different from the protrusion 30 on the side wall surface of the rod 10. The protruding portion 20 protrudes from a position opposite to the protruding position of the protruding portion 30 with respect to the rod 10, and the protruding portion 20 of the present embodiment protrudes the protruding portion 30 via the rod 10. It protrudes in the direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the rod 10 from the position which opposes.
On the other hand, on the side wall surface of the rod 10, the protrusion 30 protrudes from a position different from the protrusion 20 in the direction different from the protrusion 20. The protruding portion 30 protrudes from a position opposite to the protruding position of the protruding portion 20 with respect to the rod 10, and the protruding portion 30 of the present embodiment protrudes the protruding portion 20 via the rod 10. It protrudes in the direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the rod 10 from the position which opposes.
That is, the protrusion 20 and the protrusion 30 of the present embodiment are formed so as to protrude from the side wall surface of the rod 10 in the direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the rod 10 to be in a straight line.

Further, the protruding position [c dimension] of the protruding portion 20 and the protruding portion 30 (the length from the other end face of the rod 10 to the side wall surface of the protruding portion 20 or the side wall surface of the protruding portion 30) It is a position which becomes 1/3 or less of length. In addition, the protrusion position of the protrusion part 20 of this embodiment and the protrusion part 30 is a position used as 30 cm or more and 40 cm or less in length, and, specifically, is 35 cm.

As described above, the cross pole 1 of the present embodiment is a cross-shaped health device having the rod 10, the protrusion 20 and the protrusion 30.

Next, a method of using the cross pole 1 in the embodiment will be described.
FIG. 3 is a flow chart for explaining the method of use (S10) of the cross pole 1 in the first embodiment.
As illustrated in FIG. 3, in step 100 (S100), the user installs the cross pole 1 on the installation surface. The user may lay a mat for anti-slip or shock absorption on the installation surface, and install the cross pole 1 on the laid mat.

  In step 105 (S105), the user sits on the rod 10 of the cross pole 1 installed, places the buttocks of the user on the rod 10, and the spine along the rod 10 from the head of the user. Became a supine position. At this time, the user places the vicinity of the spine and pelvis on the rod 10. In addition, the pelvis vicinity is a concept also including a sacrum, and specifically, it is a median sacrum crest.

In step 110 (S110), in the supine position, the user places the vicinity of the user's scapula, specifically, the scapula culacisus fossa, on the protrusion 20 and the protrusion 30.
In addition, the scapula neighborhood is a concept including the scapula neighborhood on the back side and the scapula neighborhood on the ventral side of the user's body, and when the user is in the supine position on the rod 10, the back side of the body When the user is in the prone position on the stick 10, it means the ventral side in the body.

In step 115 (S115), the user performs a training operation in the supine position. The training operation may be, for example, a training operation that swings the body left and right, extension or flexion of upper and lower limbs, extension or flexion workout of shoulder joints, or an upper limb from the installation surface (floor or ground) on which the cross pole 1 is placed. Perform a training operation or the like in a state where at least one of the lower legs is separated.
The cross pole 1 does not rotate with respect to the installation surface because the rod 10, the protrusion 20 and the protrusion 30 are formed in a cross shape. That is, the cross pole 1 has high stability to the installation surface. Thereby, the user can prevent the cross pole 1 from falling due to the rotation of the cross pole 1 because the cross pole 1 does not rotate even if the upper and lower limbs leave the floor or the ground.
In this manner, the user can perform the training operation relatively safely using the cross pole 1.

FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the user is supine on the cross pole 1. FIG. 4A is a plan view showing the user's body support point and support base surface on the conventional wellness apparatus. FIG. 4B is a side view showing the support position of the user on the cross pole 1, and FIG. 4C is a plan view showing the user's body support point and support base surface on the cross pole 1.
As illustrated in FIG. 4A, the conventional health device supports the thoracic spine (supporting point A) and the pelvic region (specifically, the median sacral lupus) (supporting point B) of the user who is in the supine position. And Conventional health appliances support the trunk of the user only at the support points in the longitudinal direction of the rod because the rod has a cylindrical shape. Therefore, since the conventional health device does not have a support surface (support bottom surface) on the device, the user rotates in the circumferential direction of the rod when the upper and lower legs are separated from the floor or the ground on the health device. It can not be stabilized. Furthermore, the base of the support formed by the two support points does not have a sufficiently large surface, and can not practically maintain a supine position, and in fact the upper or lower limb must be grounded. .
Here, the support base surface 80 is a surface connecting support points that support the user's body, and specifically, a range connecting the position where the user's body and the cross pole 1 are in contact with each other. It is. The user's body is more stable as the range of the support base surface 80 is wider and as the center of gravity of the body is closer to the support base surface 80. In addition, the user's body becomes unstable when the center of gravity of the body moves out of the support base surface 80, does not maintain balance, and falls.
On the other hand, as illustrated in FIG. 4B and FIG. 4C, the cross pole 1 in the present embodiment supports the vicinity of the pelvis of the user who is supine by the rod 10 (supporting point B) The protrusion 20 and the protrusion 30 support the vicinity of the right shoulder blade and the vicinity of the left shoulder blade of the supine user (support point C and support point D). That is, on the cross pole 1, the support point (support point B) in the longitudinal direction of the rod 10 and the support point (support point C and support point D) in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the rod 10 A sufficient support base surface 80 is formed.
In this manner, the user can form the support base surface 80 widely by securing three support points on the cross pole 1, so even if the upper and lower limbs are separated from the floor or ground, The supine position can be taken in a stable state not to fall from above the cross pole 1. In addition, although the support base bottom surface formed by three points was demonstrated as an example in this example, you may form a support base bottom surface by four or more support points.

As described above, according to the cross pole 1 of the present embodiment, the stability of the cross pole 1 with respect to the installation surface, and the cross by limiting the circumferential rotation of the rod 10 having a cylindrical shape, and As it becomes possible to secure a certain degree of instability on the pole 1, the physical operation method on the health device is revised, and the variation of exercise can be increased.
In addition, since the cross pole 1 has a curved surface in contact with the user, it is possible to secure a certain instability for the user and secure a wide support base surface 80 of a certain size. For example, the user can perform a training operation in a state where the upper and lower legs are separated from the floor or the ground. In this way, the user can use the trunk only on the cross pole 1 to achieve balance so as to stabilize the center of gravity independently of the upper and lower legs. Therefore, the user can effectively perform various stances on balance training, trunk training, stretching, or massage, etc., and adjust the alignment of the spine and leg belts (adjusting the positional relationship of bones, muscles, joints, etc.) Trunk function such as adjustment of the pelvic range of motion properly, adjustment and stabilization of the range of motion of the scapula. In addition, relaxation of muscles that are in tension can also be expected.
In addition, since the cross pole 1 can ensure stability of the cross pole 1 with respect to the installation surface, even the elderly user or the physically disabled user can be used relatively safely.

Next, a second embodiment will be described.
In the second embodiment, the elements having substantially the same functions and configurations as those of the above-described embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the redundant description will be omitted.
Second Embodiment
In the cross pole 1 of the present embodiment, the heights of the protrusions 20 and 30 can be appropriately changed according to the portion of the body on which the protrusions 20 and 30 are placed.
FIG. 5 is a view for explaining the cross pole 1 in the second embodiment. FIG. 5A is a perspective view illustrating the height adjusting member 5, and FIG. 5B is a perspective view showing a state in which the height adjusting member 5 is attached to the cross pole 1.
As illustrated in FIG. 5A, the height adjustment member 5 is a curved plate material for height adjustment continuous in the longitudinal direction whose cross-sectional shape is a crescent shape. The height adjusting member 5 has a main body 50 and a notch 52, and the height adjusting member 5 of the present embodiment is constituted only by the main body 50 and the notch 52.
Further, the height adjustment material 5 is formed of a foamed synthetic resin as in the cross pole 1 and is made of, for example, EPE resin (foamed polyethylene resin) or EVA foamed resin (ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer foamed resin). It is formed. In addition, the height adjustment material 5 of this embodiment is formed of EVA foamed resin.

  The main body 50 is a curved plate having a crescent shape in cross section and continuous in the longitudinal direction. The crescent shape is a concept including a U-shape. The main body 50 has a curved wall 54 on one side. The curved wall surface 54 is formed to have the same curvature as the curvature of the side wall surface of the protrusion 20 and the protrusion 30. Thereby, the main body 50 can be disposed to fit on the side wall surfaces of the protrusion 20 and the protrusion 30.

  The notch 52 is a semicircular groove provided in the wall surface of the main body 50 and provided in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the main body 50. The notch 52 is formed so that the height adjusting member 5 and the rod 10 conform in shape when the height adjusting member 5 is disposed in the projecting portion 20 and the projecting portion 30. The height adjustment member 5 is disposed to be in close contact with the protrusion 20 and the protrusion 30 by the notch 52.

  As illustrated in FIG. 5B, the height adjustment member 5 is disposed on the cross pole 1 so as to bring the curved wall 54 into contact with the side wall surface of the projection 20 and the user of the projection 30 on which the user rests. Thus, the cross pole 1 adjusts the height of the protruding portion 20 and the protruding portion 30 by the thickness of the height adjusting member 5 by disposing the height adjusting member 5 detachably on the protruding portion 20 and the protruding portion 30. can do.

Next, a method of using the cross pole 1 in the present embodiment will be described.
FIG. 6 is a flow chart for explaining the method of use (S20) of the cross pole 1 in the second embodiment.
As illustrated in FIG. 6, in step 200 (S200), the user installs the cross pole 1 on the installation surface. The user may lay a mat for anti-slip or shock absorption on the installation surface, and install the cross pole 1 on the laid mat.

  In step 205 (S205), the user arranges the height adjusting member 5 on the protruding portion 20 and the protruding portion 30 of the cross pole 1 installed, and makes the protruding portion 20 and the protruding portion 30 higher than the height of the rod 10.

  In step 210 (S210), the user sits on the vicinity of the intersection of the projection 20 and the projection 30 of the cross pole 1 installed and the rod 10, and the spine along the rod 10 from the head of the user. Became a supine position.

In step 215 (S215), in the supine position, the user places the height adjustment member 5 on the projecting portion 20 and the projecting portion 30, and the vicinity of the user's pelvis, specifically, the upper and lower in the pelvis Place the iliac crest near you.
The pelvis vicinity is a concept including the pelvic neighborhood on the back side and the pelvic neighborhood on the ventral side of the user's body, and when the user is supine on the stick 10, the pelvic neighborhood on the back side of the body It means (in the vicinity of the upper back iliac crest), and when the user is in the prone position on the rod 10, it means the vicinity of the ventral pelvis in the body (specifically, the vicinity of the upper anterior iliac crest).

  In step 220 (S220), the user performs a training operation in the supine position. The training operation may be, for example, a training operation that swings the body left and right, extension or flexion of the upper and lower limbs, movable training of the shoulder joint, or at least the upper and lower limbs from the installation surface (specifically, the floor or the ground). The training operation etc. are performed in the state which released one side.

FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the user is supine on the cross pole 1 illustrated in FIG. 5. FIG. 7A is a side view showing a support position of the user in the cross pole 1 in which the height adjustment member 5 is disposed, and FIG. 7B is a user in the cross pole 1 in which the height adjustment member 5 is disposed. It is a top view which shows the support position of. FIG. 7C is a plan view showing the support position of the user only in the cross pole 1.
As illustrated in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the cross pole 1 in which the height adjustment member 5 is disposed supports the thoracic spine of the supine user by the rod 10 (support point A And the protrusion 20 and the protrusion 30 support the vicinity of the right and left upper back iliac crest (support point C and support point D). That is, on the cross pole 1, the support point (support point A) in the longitudinal direction of the rod 10 and the support point (support point C and support point D) in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the rod 10 A support base surface 80 is formed.
The cross pole 1 in which the height adjusting member 5 is disposed has a height of the height adjusting member 5 at which the height of the contact point between the protrusion 20 and the protrusion 30 and the user is greater than the height of the contact point between the rod 10 and the user. I'm raising it by a minute. Thereby, the user can place the vicinity of the user's pelvis on the projecting portion 20 and the projecting portion 30 in a state in which the contact of the left and right upper back iliac crests is intensified as compared with the contact of the user's median sacrum. Therefore, the user can form the support base surface 80 with sufficient size on the cross pole 1 in a static (stable) manner, so that the stability of the body can be further enhanced.
On the other hand, as illustrated in FIG. 7C, the cross pole 1 with the height adjusting member 5 not disposed is a rod 10, from the user's thoracic vertebra (supporting point A) to the sacrum (medial sacrum crest) (supporting Supporting up to the point B), the contact on the protrusions 20 and 30 near the left and right upper back iliac crest is relatively weak. For this reason, the user has strong contact with the median sacral crest, and weak contact with the left and right upper back iliac crest as compared with the median sacrum. In other words, the user swings in the lateral direction of the pelvis centering on the median sacral crest and becomes unstable. Therefore, the user can use the support base formed by the support point A for supporting the thoracic spine, the support point B for supporting the median sacral crest, and the support point C for supporting the upper back iliac crest in response to the lateral swing of the pelvis. When the support base surface 80 is statically formed because the surface 80Z and the support base surface 80X formed by the support point D supporting the support point A, the support point B, and the upper back iliac crest are dynamically switched In contrast, it is difficult to stabilize the body. In addition, it is also difficult to secure a wide support base surface 82. As described above, it is preferable for a user who wants to perform a training operation with a higher degree of difficulty to perform training only with the cross pole 1.

As described above, in the cross pole 1 of the present embodiment, the stability of the user's body can be adjusted depending on whether or not the height adjusting member 5 is disposed in the protruding portion 20 and the protruding portion 30. Therefore, the degree of difficulty of the training operation can be changed as appropriate. That is, training can be performed according to the user's balance ability and physical strength. Therefore, the cross pole 1 in which the height adjusting member 5 is disposed on the projecting portion 20 and the projecting portion 30 suppresses the sway of the user's pelvis, and it is relatively safe to use, especially for elderly users and disabled users. Is possible.
In the first and second embodiments, the case where the user exercises in the supine position on the cross pole 1 has been described as a specific example, but the present invention is not limited to this. May exercise in a prone position, sitting position, or crawling state.
As mentioned above, although embodiment concerning this invention was described, it is not limited to these, A various change, addition, etc. are possible in the range which does not deviate from the meaning of invention.
