Utility Model Registration No. 3149092

In the prior art described above, the first mode is selected in which the vibrating body is vibrated vertically by driving the first motor while the second motor is stopped. A second mode is selected in which the vibrating member is vibrated laterally by driving the motor, and a second mode is selected in which both the vertical vibration and the lateral vibration of the vibrating member are combined by simultaneously driving the first and second motors. Three modes are selected, and it is explained that various beauty effects and health effects can be obtained.

However, as is well known with regard to many physical exercise machines, the single-function exercise machine that only vibrates the body lacks a sense of play or sport, and the user becomes bored with it after using it for a while. Tend.

In view of such problems, the present invention provides a horse-riding attachment as an accessory for a beauty or health vibratory exercise machine, thereby providing a user with a vibration exercise for beauty and health. Moreover, it is an object of the present invention to provide a physical exercise machine which gives a motion similar to that of horseback riding and enables the user to exercise the sense of balance of the body rich in sense of play and sport.

Therefore, the present invention comprises an installation body, a vibrating body including a floor member arranged above the installation body, and at least one of vertical vibration and lateral vibration to the vibrating body. In a physical exercise machine comprising a drive mechanism for causing a vibration to be applied to a user's body on a floor member, a horse riding attachment detachably attached to the upper side of the floor member is provided, The horse riding attachment is composed of a support frame, a saddle provided on the support frame, and an attachment/detachment mechanism provided between the support frame and the vibrating body, and vibrates the attachment attached to the vibrating body. Thus, the saddle is configured to give a riding motion to the whole body of the user riding on the saddle.

Preferably, the lateral vibration direction is the front-rear direction, and the saddle is arranged at a position closer to the rear than the center of the floor member in the front-rear direction, and the user rides on the saddle in a forward-facing posture.

More preferably, the support frame is provided with a grip that is gripped by a user's fingers at a position closer to the front than the center of the floor member in the front-rear direction.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the attachment/detachment mechanism detachably attaches attachment means provided on the leg of the support frame through an opening formed in the floor member to and from the connection means fixed to the vibrating body. A cover member is provided to close the opening when the horse-riding attachment is removed from the floor member, and the fixing means provided on the cover member is detachably fixed to the connecting means. is configured to

Further, it is preferable that the support frame is provided with amplifying means for amplifying the amplitude by elastic deformation in the transmission path for transmitting the vibration of the vibrating body to the saddle.

According to the present invention, an equestrian attachment 14 that is detachably attached to the vibrating body 4 of the exercise machine 1 is provided. Therefore, simply by attaching the horse riding attachment 14 as an accessory to the vibrating body 4, it is possible to easily use it as a horse riding exercise machine. That is, since one or both of the vertical vibration X and the lateral vibration Y are transmitted to the saddle 16 together with the vibrating body 4, the whole body of the user riding on the saddle 16 is given a motion that imitates horseback riding, thereby providing a sense of play. There is an effect that it is possible to perform horseback riding exercise that exercises the sense of balance of the body rich in sports sense.

Since the horse-riding attachment 14 is detachable, the physical exercise machine 1 itself can be used for cosmetic purposes by simply removing the attachment 14 to vibrate the body of the user riding on the floor member 2a as in the conventional art. It is also economical because it can be used as a vibrating physical exercise machine for health.
