At the lower end of the leg 11 that supports the narrowed rear center of the lower body support base 2, a roller 12 that rotates clockwise and counterclockwise is provided. The roller 12 is selectively driven in both left and right directions via a gear system 15 by an electric motor 13 which is supplied with power by a control system described later and a gear box 14 which transmits the driving force thereof.

The front end of the support rod 16 extending from the leg 11 to the side of the upper body support 2 has a support plate 17 provided between the support legs 5 of the upper body support 1.
Is pivotally connected by a pivot shaft 18.

A rotation detection gear 19 is integrally attached to the rotation shaft 18, and a sensor box 20 adjacent to the rotation detection gear 19 detects the rotation state of the gear 10, that is, the lower body support base 2. In the figure, 21 indicates a turning range designation dial, 22 indicates a slight vibration designation dial at the turning position, and by operating these dials 21 or 22 in the sensor box 20, while comparing the designated operating condition with the detected operating condition, A control signal is supplied to the power supply unit 23. The power supply unit 23 is configured to supply electric power to the electric motor 13 according to the start / stop control and the forward / reverse switching control by the control input.

A wire 25 is arranged on the lower surface of the upper body support 1 along a plurality of guide rollers 24 arranged in the front-rear direction at the center thereof. The extended rear end of the wire 25 is passed through a wire holding part 27 formed by a pair of rollers 26 arranged at the center of the rear end 3 of the upper body support 1, and is connected to a wire connecting part 28 at the front end 9 of the lower body support 2. The lower jaw is connected and the front free end of the wire 25 is folded back on the bed through a wire guide hole 29 provided toward the surface of the bed 6, and the length is adjustable. A loop-shaped latch band 30 for
The wires 25a, 25a branched from the middle of 25 are the bed portion 6
It is folded back through the wire guide holes 29a provided on both sides near the front end, and loop-shaped retaining bands 30a, 30a for both arms are provided at the tips thereof.

In addition, in the figure, 31 is a waist fixing band, 32 is an ankle fixing band, 33 is a foot pillow, and they are arranged at predetermined positions of the bed 6 or 10, respectively, and 34 is a back side of the bed 6 and a wire. The reference numeral 35 denotes a return tension spring provided between the reference numeral and the reference numeral, 35 denotes a power switch, and 36 denotes a support arm.

(Operation) According to the embodiment having the above configuration, the dial 21 and
Operate 22 to adjust the operating conditions, and the exerciser
Supine on 1, 2 and fix the body to the beds 6, 10 of the upper and lower body supports 1, 2 with the fixing bands 31, 32, and the power switch 35
When the power is turned on, the electric motor 13 starts and the gear box
The roller 12 is driven via the gear system 15 under deceleration adjustment at 14. The lower half body support 2 supported by the tip of the support rod 16 on the rotary shaft 18 and the immovable upper body support 1 is
After pivoting about the rotation axis 18 by a predetermined angle in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction as shown by a chain line in FIG. 2,
It makes a turning motion in the direction opposite to the turning motion and repeats this operation.

When the operating position of the lower body support 2 is detected in the sensor box 20 by the operation of the gear 19 which rotates in accordance with this operation, and the position reaches the specified turning range previously adjusted, The power supply unit sends a control signal to stop the power supply to the motor 13.
Send to 23. Therefore, the drive by the motor 13 is stopped,
At the turning position, the micro vibration under the condition specified by the dial 22 is repeated a specified number of times, and the support base 2 is again moved to the original position by supplying electric power in the reverse rotation direction to the motor 13 by the control signal or switching the forward / reverse rotation in the gear box 14. Then, the operation is repeated after reaching the turning position on the opposite side. Of course, depending on the designation of the dial 22, it is also possible to omit the slight vibration operation at the turning position of the lower body support base 2 and turn the turning range back and forth.

As described above, as the lower body support base 2 pivots with respect to the stationary upper body support base 1, the wire connecting portion 28 moves in the pivoting direction with respect to the wire holding portion 27. That is, at the occupied position of the lower body support base 2 shown by the solid line in FIG. 2, as the lower body support base 2 pivots clockwise,
Since the wire connecting portion 28, which is adjacent to and sandwiches the holding portion 27, moves in the clockwise direction away from the wire holding portion 27 along the rear end 3 of the upper body support base 1, it extends in the length direction of the upper body support base 1. Wires 25 and 25a are rearward (side of lower body support 2)
While being pulled to, the band portions 30 and 30a are pulled forward (on the front end side of the upper body support base 1). Therefore, the lower jaw of the exerciser hooked on the band part 30 and both band parts 30a
Both arms that are hung on the front are gradually pulled forward with the turning motion. As a result, the exerciser's neck is stretched forward and both arms are in a so-called conservative posture. On the other hand, after the lower body support base 2 has swung clockwise to the limit of swivel motion (see the lower chain line in FIG. 2), as it swivels counterclockwise, the tension on the wires 25, 25a gradually relaxes, When it returns to the occupied position shown by the solid line in FIG. 2, its relaxed state becomes maximum, and further, as it turns in the counterclockwise direction, the above-mentioned first operation is performed again. These operations will be repeated.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the configuration of the device of the present invention, the lower body support base is electrically driven to rotate in the clockwise and counterclockwise directions, that is, the reciprocating motion in the same direction causes the waist of the exerciser to move. In addition to exercising in the left-right direction, the pulling action and the relaxing action of the wire can cause the body of the exerciser to perform so-called stretching exercise, which can be useful for promoting health and recovering function.
