Description

  The present invention relates to a running machine used when walking or jogging indoors, and more particularly to a home running machine configured so that an installation space can be effectively used.

  Conventionally, many running machines used at home are provided so that a belt traveling part composed of an endless belt on which a user rides can be stowed up and stored in the direction of a handle standing on the front side of the belt traveling part, As a result, when the running machine is not used, the belt traveling unit is flipped up and stored in the direction of the handle so that the space occupied by the belt traveling unit on the floor surface can be made free.

  However, since it takes a certain amount of force to lift and store the heavy belt running part, it is difficult for young healthy people to raise and store the belt running part, so even when the running machine is not used. In many cases, while recognizing it as a hindrance, the belt running part was not lifted and stored, but left on the floor.

JP-A-8-103513 (pages 1-6, FIGS. 1-4)

  The purpose of the present invention is that even when the running machine is not used, the belt running part can be left on the floor without being stowed and stored, and when the running machine is used, the same running machine can be used. It is intended to provide a home running machine that can be used quickly.

  Then, the applicant has intensively studied a method that can solve the above-mentioned problems, and as a result, the belt running unit is flipped up and stored even when the running machine is not used by combining the running machine, the desk, and the chair with a predetermined structure. It was found that the machine can be left on the floor without using it, and that the machine can be used quickly when the machine is used.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, a running machine according to the present invention includes a belt traveling unit for placing a trainee on which an endless belt is stretched between a driving roller and a driven roller, and an endless belt in the belt traveling unit. Consists of a chair that moves along a guide that extends in the running direction of the endless belt on the left and right frames, and a desk that is provided on the front side of the belt running portion that includes a deck with a height corresponding to the chair. As it was.

  In addition, a plurality of support rollers that rotate in the belt travel direction are arranged at predetermined intervals between the driving roller and the driven roller of the belt travel unit, and the trainee is placed on the endless belt that passes over the support roller. It is configured to be placed on top.

  Further, the deck of the desk is provided so that it can be raised or lowered, and the chair can be stored in an empty space after the deck is raised or lowered.

  Further, the desk is configured by providing a second deck at a position substantially in front of the head of the trainee on the belt running unit.

  Further, a backrest that can support at least the back of the trainee on the belt traveling unit is provided behind the belt traveling unit.

  According to the running machine according to the present invention, when the running machine is not used, the user sits on a chair pulled out on the belt running part of the running machine and performs a predetermined work on the deck of the desk provided in front of the belt running part. For example, it is possible to perform personal computer operation and study.

  And when using the running machine, raise the deck of the desk and store the chair pulled out on the belt running part in the space vacated below the deck by the raising, so that the chair can be lifted from the belt running part. Since it can be moved, the running machine can be quickly used.

  In addition, the operation panel of the belt running unit is mounted on the back side of the chair, for example, so that the operation panel is positioned in front of the trainee who is walking or jogging on the belt running unit. Even when the trainee adjusts the running speed or the like, the operation can be adjusted safely and quickly. Therefore, the risk of the trainee being swung behind the belt running section due to an operation delay or the like can be reduced.

  And, when the trainee has his / her back supported by the backrest provided near the back of the belt running part during walking and jogging, the trainee can freely have both hands, for example, You can safely walk or jog while operating a personal computer placed on the deck of the desk near the belt running section or the controller of a game console held in your hand, or while reading.

  In addition, the back of the trainee is supported even when the trainee is swept behind the belt running part due to a delay in the operation when the trainee adjusts the running speed etc. The risk of the trainee falling or falling can be reduced.

  A plurality of support rollers are disposed between the driving roller and the driven roller of the belt running unit, and the trainee is placed on the endless belt passing over the support roller. Since the sole of the foot is stimulated by the support roller, although it varies among individuals, the fatigue of the trainee can be reduced, and walking and jogging can be performed for a longer time.

The perspective view which shows the Example of the running machine which concerns on this invention. The perspective view which shows the running machine made into the state which can be used. A side view of a running machine ready for use. The perspective view which shows the Example of a belt running part. The figure which showed an example of the guide shape seen from the back of a belt running part. The figure which looked at the other use condition of the running machine from the side.

  Embodiments of a running machine according to the present invention will be described below in detail based on specific examples shown in the accompanying drawings.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the running machine of the present invention is configured by combining a running machine body, a chair 2, and a desk 3 as a belt running unit 1.

  The belt running unit 1 is configured with a known structure (not shown) that stretches an endless belt 5 on which a trainee is placed between a driving roller and a driven roller. The driving roller and the driven roller on which the trainee rides As shown in FIG. 4, a plurality of support rollers 21 that rotate in the traveling direction of the endless belt 5 are arranged at regular intervals between the driving roller 19 and the driven roller 20.

  Further, on the left and right frames 6 and 6 of the endless belt 5 in the belt traveling unit 1, for example, guides 7 and 7 having an L-shaped cross section for guiding the moving direction of the chair 2 when the chair 2 is moved are provided. As shown in FIG. 5, the guides 7 and 7 are arranged such that the running paths 7a and 7a as horizontal portions of the guides 7 and 7 are positioned on the endless belt 5 side.

  Moreover, the guides 7 and 7 are made into the shape (passover part 8) which raised the front part near the desk 3 upwards.

  The pedestal 10 of the chair 2 includes casters 9 and 9 that are rotatable, and the casters 9 and 9 of the pedestal 10 are set on the runways 7a and 7a of the guides 7 and 7, respectively.

  An operation panel 11 for adjusting the traveling speed of the belt traveling unit 1 is attached to the back side of the chair 2.

  The desk 3 is provided in front of the belt traveling unit 1 and the deck 12 provided at a height corresponding to the chair 2 in a normal state is raised by an elevating mechanism unit 13 shown as an example in the embodiment. And can be fixed at least at the uppermost position by fixing means (not shown).

  Further, the desk 3 is provided with a top board 14 as a second deck at a position substantially in front of the head of the trainee on the belt traveling unit 1.

  Further, in this running machine, a backrest 16 made of a flexible material is provided at a position where the back of the trainee 22 (see FIG. 3) on the belt traveling unit 1 on the back of the belt traveling unit 1 can be supported. Is provided.

  Hereinafter, the operation of the running machine according to the present invention configured as described above will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the running machine when not in use has the chair 2 pulled out on the belt running unit 1 and the desk 3. The deck 12 is lowered to a height corresponding to the chair 2, and a predetermined work is performed on the deck 12 of the desk 3 while sitting on the chair 2, for example, a personal computer 17 placed on the deck 12 as shown in FIG. It can be operated to work and study.
