Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Objective of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) This invention relates to a stepping health device that combines the pressure of the sole, the bending and stretching of the knee, and the movement of the lower back.

(Prior art) There is a conventional health method known as ``bamboo stomping'' in which you step on split bamboo alternately to promote blood circulation, but since it is a simple stepping motion, you get tired of it quickly and it does not function as a sustainable health method. . There is also a bicycle-type (crank action) pedal health device that involves bending and stretching the knees, but in this case, the rider is seated on the saddle, so there is less movement of the hips and the pedal effect is poorer than that of the bamboo pedal.

(Problems that the invention aims to solve) This invention was made in view of the conventional situation, and the stepping motion involves pressing the soles of the feet, bending and stretching the knees, and movements of the hips, and is particularly dependent on the car. The idea is to provide a health device to strengthen the weakened legs and hips of modern people.

[Structure of the device] (Example) The health device of the present invention will be explained below with reference to the example shown in the drawings.The health device of the present invention is composed of a device frame portion A and a foot mechanism B, as shown in FIG.

That is, in the figure, 1 is a base, and the upper part of a support frame 2 provided vertically from both sides of the front part thereof is bent rearward at a substantially right angle to form a handle 3 (frame part A).

The central part of the base 1 has a foot mechanism B.
will be provided.

More specifically, 4 is a casing vertically installed at a predetermined height as shown in the same figure and FIG. First guide rollers 7, 7 are attached to both ends of the chain string 6, and the casing 4 is attached to another second guide roller 9 attached to each first guide roller 7 via a connecting rod 8.
A pedal 11 is fixed by protruding from a long guide hole 10 provided in a side wall of the casing 4, so that the first and second guide rollers 7 and 9 slide along guide tubes 4a and 4b formed on both sides inside the casing 4. It is composed of:

In the above, the pedal 11 may have a flat plate shape, but the drawing shows an embodiment in which a convex portion 12 with a side surface having a sub-arc shape is provided at the central portion (that is, the portion corresponding to the arch of the foot).

(Function) To use the health device of this invention having the above configuration, first grasp the left and right handles 3 and place both feet on the pedals 11. Then step on both feet alternately and repeat the up and down motion. In this case, the pedal 11 is not directly fixed to the first guide roller 7, but is fixed to the second guide roller via the connecting rod 8, so the guide cylinder 4a,
4b in a stable state.

The stepping motion first puts pressure on the soles of the feet, producing the same effect as stepping on bamboo, and also bends and stretches the knees within a predetermined width up and down, adding considerable movement to the lower back. The sum total is not limited to the lower body, but provides a dynamic and moderately tiring exercise to the whole body.

[Effects of the invention] The present invention is as described above, and by installing it at home or the like, people of all ages and genders can perform the above-mentioned exercise according to their physical condition.

The form of exercise involves repeating the alternating up and down motions of the pedals while standing, so it is very dynamic and can be sustained without getting tired.

The combination of pressure on the soles of the feet, bending and stretching of the knees, and movement of the hips results in a full-body exercise that focuses on the lower body.Strengthening the legs and hips in particular eliminates the stiff lower back, which is said to be a modern disease, and moderate fatigue can improve physical and mental health. It also helps relieve stress.

It is structurally simple, rarely breaks down, and has a relatively light overall weight, making it easy to move. Another major advantage is that it can be mass-produced at low cost.

Claims (1)

[Claims for Utility Model Registration] 1. Consisting of a device frame portion A and a foot mechanism B, the device frame portion A extends rearward at an approximately right angle from the upper part of a support frame 2 provided vertically from both sides of the front portion of the base 1. The foot mechanism B, which is bent to form a handle 3 and provided at the center of the base 1, has a fixed pulley 5 installed in the upper part of the casing 4 vertically disposed at a predetermined height. A first guide roller 7 is attached to both ends of a chain string 6 hung on the chain string 5, and another second guide roller 9 attached to the first guide roller 7 via a connecting rod 8 is attached to the side wall of the casing 4. The pedal 11 is fixed by protruding from the provided guide slot 10, and the first and second guide rollers 7, 9 slide along guide tubes 4a, 4b formed on both sides inside the casing 4. A foot health device. 2. The foot health device according to claim 1, which is a registered utility model, wherein the pedal 11 has a convex portion 12 with a sub-arc shape on its side at the center.
