Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a fitness equipment in which a revolving or rotation mechanism is installed at the bottom of the seats for the lower half of a person's body and for the upper half of the body and the both seats are placed so that the user can lie on his back on them, and which is effective in recovering or keeping health. CONSTITUTION:The equipment mainly consists of a seat 1 for the lower half of a user's body and a seat 2 for the upper half of the body. Each of the seats 1 and 2 has a cushion part 6 on a base board 5, and rotation mechanisms 3 and 4 on the rear side. The rotation mechanisms 3 and 4 are made with an upper board 8, a lower board 9, and a steel ball 10 between them, and act as ball bearings. The mechanisms are fixed on the base board 5. A swelling part 7 is used for a pillow. The seats 1 and 2 are rotatable around axes 11 and 12 respectively. To use this equipment, the user lies on his back on it for stretching around his navel. The stretching when a person lies on his back is said to be good for waist ache and digestive system, and also it is effective in rehabilitation for troubles in locomotion or in keeping flexibility of his body.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a health aid for facilitating flexion exercises in a supine state.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There is a device for supporting the swinging of the lower half of the body by placing the toes and hips, but since the upper half of the body is in direct contact with the floor, friction occurs between the back and the floor, which causes the back to move. Rubbing hurts and frictional force makes it difficult to perform a smooth flexion movement.

[0003]

In the prior art, the energy for bending the body is reduced by the friction between the back and the floor, which is not only inefficient, but also causes pain on the back of the user. There were some drawbacks such as making it happen. The problems to be solved by the present invention are as described above.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

(B) The main part is composed of the lower half body placing plate and the upper half body placing plate. (B) The lower half body placing plate and the upper half body placing plate are both rotatable or rotatable. (C) Place both plates so that humans can lie on them. (D) Humans lie on both plates. Therefore, there is no friction between the floor and the back. (E) In the supine position, bend the body around the navel. With the above, bending movement can be performed easily. Also, if the mounting plate is rotated electrically, the bending motion can be done more easily,
The cost is high.

[0005]

[Function] A rotation mechanism is provided below the lower body placing plate and the upper body placing plate. This rotating mechanism has the same function as a ball bearing and rotates or rotates with little friction. Therefore, the bending motion of the body can be performed with an extremely small force even in a supine position on both mounting plates. Of course, the same applies to lying down and lying down.

[0006]

[Embodiment 1] FIG. 1 is a plan view, and FIG. 2 is a partially sectional elevation view. The main part is a lower body placing plate 1 and an upper body placing plate 2
It consists of and. At the bottom of both mounting plates 1 and 2, rotating mechanisms 3 and 4 are provided.
To provide. The mounting plates 1 and 2 are provided with a cushion material 6 on a substrate 5. The rotating mechanisms 3 and 4 have steel balls 1 on the upper plate 8 and the lower plate 9.
It is sandwiched between 0 and has the same function as a so-called ball bearing and is mounted on the substrate 5. The bulge 7 serves as a pillow. Both mounting plates 1 and 2 have their respective rotation centers 1
It can rotate about 1 and 12 as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. When using it, lie on its back as shown in Fig. 3 and perform a flexion movement centering on the navel.

[0007]

[Embodiment 2] FIG. 3 shows an elevation view. The rotation mechanisms 3 and 4 are provided near both ends of the base frame 13, and the lower half body placing plate 1 and the upper half body placing plate 2 are mounted thereon.

[0008]

Third Embodiment FIG. 4 is a plan view and FIG. 5 is a sectional view of the acupressure protrusion. The lower body placing plate 1 and the upper body placing plate 2 are provided with two or more acupressure protrusions 14 to add an acupressure effect. The acupressure protrusion 14 is detachable so as to correspond to the individual difference of the user.

[0009]

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION It is known that flexion exercise in a supine position is good for low back pain and digestive system. It is also recognized that it is effective in rehabilitation for recovery of motor dysfunction and maintenance of body flexibility. If the present invention is implemented, a flexion exercise can be easily performed with extremely little energy, and a health aid that is highly effective in recovering or maintaining health is realized.
