Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain an oscillating implement for sliding smoothly a slide plate by providing two pieces of slide shafts so as to be positioned horizontally right under a foot placing base in the vicinity of the ceiling surface of a main body case, and forming a connecting projecting line on the center line of the slide plate. CONSTITUTION:A driving mechanism 4 consists of a pair of slide shafts 5, 5 provided in parallel to the reciprocating motion direction of a foot placing base 2 and a slide plate 6, a driving motor 3, and a reduction gear 31 attached to the driving motor 3, and to the output shaft of the speed reducer 31, a crank arm 32 is attached and a pulley 33 is fitted loosely thereto. Two pieces of slide shafts 5, 5 are provided horizontally in a position being right under the foot placing base 2 in the vicinity of the ceiling surface of a main body case 1. To the slide shafts 5, 5, the slide plate 6 is attached so as to be freely slidable. Since the slide plate 6 and the foot placing base 2 are adjacent to each other, a twist tendency is scarcely generated between the slide shafts 5, 5 and the slide plate 6, and the slide plate 6 executes a reciprocating motion smoothly along the slide shafts 5, 5.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a device for swinging the torso of the body from side to side by reciprocating both ankles from side to side while lying on the floor.

(Conventional technology and problems) Moderate exercise improves bodily functions.

In particular, when exercise affects the internal organs in the abdomen, the functions of the internal organs become active, and at the same time, the amount of oxygen absorbed by the body increases, improving health.

For this reason, exercise such as jogging and aerobic gymnastics has traditionally been performed for the purpose of improving health, and many exercise aids, so-called health equipment, have also been used.

However, all conventional exercises are mainly muscle exercises and require a considerable amount of physical strength and muscle strength, so they are effective for people with a certain level of physical strength to strengthen their muscles, but those with weak physical strength cannot achieve true health. Not necessarily suitable for people who need enhancement.

Moreover, it has the disadvantage that it is not very effective in terms of activating internal functions or promoting health despite the amount of exercise, and it also has the disadvantage that it takes a long time to exercise, making it difficult to utilize.

In particular, vigorous exercise such as jogging and aerobic exercises places a heavy burden on the respiratory and circulatory systems, which can even have the adverse effect of impairing health.

In view of the above points, the present inventor has invented a swinging device that allows the torso to swing from side to side without moving the body at all, and has already filed a patent application.

This exercise equipment consists of a footrest installed at a position of approximately 100 to 200+ meters from the floor, and a drive mechanism for reciprocating the footrest from side to side. By placing the footrest on the body and reciprocating the footrest from side to side at an appropriate speed, the legs move back and forth from side to side, which activates internal functions and improves blood circulation, which increases oxygen into the body. The amount of absorption increases and health is improved. Moreover, at the same time, the movement of bending the vertebrae from side to side is added, which improves the two postures and further increases the effect.

However, as shown in Fig. 4, in this swinging device, two slide shafts b supporting a slide plate a are located above and below, and the upper part of the slide plate a protrudes to the upper surface of the main body case. Since the bottom of the tank is connected to the footrest C, there is a position where the rotational power of the drive motor is transmitted to the slide plate (power point P), and a position where the slide plate a and the footrest C are connected. Since there is inevitably a gap between the point of action Q) and the point of action Q), the slide plate a tends to twist in the direction of the arrow.

Therefore, a state occurs in which the sliding portions of the slide plate a and the slide shaft b engage with each other, making it impossible for the slide plate a to slide smoothly.

As a result, play occurs between the two, and this play makes it even more difficult for the slide plate to slide, resulting in problems such as failure.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a swinging device in which a slide plate slides smoothly.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the swinging device according to the present invention has two slide shafts positioned horizontally in the upper part of the two-body case, and a sliding plate. A connecting ridge is formed on the center line and a footrest is connected to this.

By arranging the slide shafts in this way,
This can be installed at the top inside the main case, so
The distance between the point of force P and the point of action Q can be made closer,
A footrest can be connected to the center line of the slide plate.

(Function) In the swinging device according to the present invention, the two slide shafts are positioned horizontally and provided at the upper part of the main body case, so that the distance between the slide plate and the footrest is narrowed, and the point of action is Since P approaches the point of force Q, the tendency for the slide plate to twist is significantly reduced.

Moreover, by forming a connecting protrusion on the center line of the slide plate and connecting the footrest to this, there is virtually no tendency for twisting, and the slide plate can slide smoothly along the slide shaft. becomes.

(Example) Hereinafter, the swinging instrument according to the present invention will be specifically described based on the illustrated example.

In the figure, numeral 1 is the main body case, 2 is a footrest, and footrest 2
is installed on the main body case 1, and 1O~3Q
It is designed to reciprocate about 100 to 200 times per minute with an amplitude of about s+days.

That is, the main body case 1 serves as a support base for supporting the footrest 2, and at the same time, it is intended to ensure safety in use. are housed inside, and are designed to prevent them from coming into contact with the human body.

Furthermore, although not shown in the drawings, handles, timers, power cords, etc. are attached to the main body case l at appropriate locations for convenience of use.

The drive mechanism 4 consists of a pair of slide shafts 5.5 provided parallel to the reciprocating direction of the footrest 2, a slide plate 6, a drive motor 3, and a reducer 31 attached to the drive motor 3. A crank arm 32 is attached to the output shaft of the reduction gear 31, and a pulley 33 is loosely fitted onto the crank arm 32.

The two slide shafts 5.5 are horizontally provided near the ceiling of the main body case 1, directly below the footrest 2.

A slide plate 6 is slidably attached to this slide shaft 5.5.

The slide plate 6 converts the rotation of the drive motor 3 into reciprocating motion and transmits it to the footrest 2. The slide plate 6 has a long groove 61 having the same width as the outer diameter of the pulley 33 and is oriented in a direction perpendicular to the slide shaft 5. A pulley 33 is fitted into this, and by rotating the pulley 33, it reciprocates left and right along the slide shaft 5.

Furthermore, a connecting protrusion 62 is formed on the center line of the slide plate 6 in parallel to the slide shaft 5, and this protrudes to the top surface of the main body case l, to which the footrest 2 is attached. .

(Effects) As detailed above, in the swinging device according to the present invention, the two slide shafts are installed horizontally in the position directly below the footrest 2 near the ceiling surface of the main body case, so a slide plate is also necessary. Generally, it is located near the ceiling of the main body case.

Therefore, since the slide plate and the footrest are close to each other, there is almost no twisting tendency between the slide shaft and the slide plate, and the slide plate can smoothly reciprocate along the slide shaft. .

Moreover, by installing the two slide shafts horizontally, a long groove is formed between the two slide shafts, which allows the rotational power of the drive motor to be transmitted to the slide plate. Since it can be formed between the shafts, there is virtually no tendency for the slide plate to twist, and any problems caused by this are eliminated.
