Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is used for stretching muscles and the like from the lower to the upper body, in particular, spring muscles, gastrocnemius muscles, Achilles muscles, rectus abdominis, external oblique muscles, rectus femoris muscles and the like. Stretch health appliances.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a standing muscle stretching from the lower body to the upper body is performed by pulling a load while pulling a band on a foot or measuring a back muscle. Met.

[0003]

However, in the case of the method of putting a band on a foot, there is a risk of falling over, and there is a problem in terms of safety. In addition, in the case of using a method of pulling a load in a comfortable manner such as when measuring the back muscles, it is not appropriate for an elderly person to perform a moderate stretching without difficulty.

[0004] The present invention has been made in view of the above background, and has as its object to provide a stretch health device that does not have the above-mentioned disadvantages.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a stretch health device according to the present invention comprises a footrest on which a foot is placed and a cane standing upright on the footrest. The structure is such that the muscles from the lower body to the upper body are stretched while holding the cane part in the hand.

In such a configuration, when the foot is placed on the footrest while holding the cane in the hand, the muscles and the like from the lower body to the upper body are stretched.

More preferably, the footrest has an inclined surface, and it is desirable to draw a sole pattern on the inclined surface.

In the case of such a configuration, when the feet are placed in accordance with the sole pattern drawn on the inclined surface of the footrest, the toes are directed obliquely upward, and the muscles and the like from the lower body to the upper body are formed. Is stretched enough.

[0009] More preferably, the cane portion is configured so that a length thereof can be adjusted by connecting a plurality of pipes, and is detachably provided on the footrest.

[0010] With this configuration, the length of the cane can be adjusted according to the height of the person performing the stretching. In addition, the cane portion can be removed from the footrest.

[0011]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, embodiments of the stretch fitness apparatus of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a stretch health device, FIG. 2 is a partially omitted side view of the device, and FIG. 3 is a plan view of the device.

The cane portion 10 is composed of a plurality of pipes that can be connected in a sheath shape, and has a configuration in which the length can be adjusted by connecting a plurality of pipes like a fishing rod. A handle 11 serving as a handle is provided at the tip of the cane portion 10.

The footrest 20 has a substantially trapezoidal cross section as shown in FIG. Protrusions 24, 2 are provided at the lower part of the footrest 20 toward the front side and the rear side.
6 are provided. The inclined surface 23 is 4
Make an angle of 2 °.

On the inclined surface 23, a design 25 of the sole is drawn. A part of the design 25 is also drawn on the protrusion 24 and the upper surface 21.

A hole is provided in the upper surface 21 of the footrest 20, and the lower end of the cane part 10 is inserted into this hole. The staff 10 is a screw (not shown) inserted from the rear side of the footrest 20.
It is configured to be fixed to the footrest 20 using a pin or the like. That is, the cane part 10 is provided detachably with respect to the footrest 20. It is also possible to take a form in which the inner peripheral surface of the hole is threaded, and then the cane part 10 is screwed to the footrest 20.

A method of using the stretch health device having the above-described configuration will be described. First, the length of the cane part 10 is adjusted in advance according to the user's height. The handle 11 of the cane part 10 is grasped with both hands, and both feet are placed in accordance with the design 25 drawn on the inclined surface 23 of the footrest 20. At this time, the toes hang on the upper surface of the footrest 20, and the heels of the toes are located on the protrusions 24.

When the toes of the feet are directed obliquely upward, the back muscles naturally extend, and the muscles from the lower body to the upper body, particularly the spring muscles, the abdominal muscles, the Achilles muscles, the rectus abdominis, the external oblique muscles, and the rectus femoris muscles. Etc. are stretched enough. The projections 24 and 26 are provided on the footrest 20, so that not only is there a sense of stability, but also because the stretch is performed while holding the handle 11, even if the elderly is weak in legs and legs, it falls down. There is no fear.

When not using the stretch fitness equipment,
If the cane part 10 is detached from the footrest 20 and the length of the cane part 10 is shortened, the device can be stored compactly, and it is convenient to carry.

The stretch health device of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, the stick may be formed by bending a pipe in the shape of a letter, and the inclined surface may be a straight surface. Instead, a form that bends may be used. Further, a footrest having no inclined surface may be used.

[0020]

As described above, in the case of the stretch health appliance according to the first aspect of the present invention, since the muscles and the like from the lower body to the upper body can be stretched while holding the cane, there is no danger of falling down and the safety is ensured. High in nature. In addition, since it is possible to perform a moderate stretch without difficulty, it is very convenient for a person with weak legs, particularly an elderly person.

In the stretch health appliance according to the second aspect of the present invention, the footrest is provided with an inclined surface on which the pattern of the foot is drawn, so that when the foot is placed on the inclined surface, the toe of the foot is inclined. The spine naturally extends upward and the muscles from the lower body to the upper body are sufficiently stretched. Also,
Since the foot pattern is drawn on the inclined surface, the position of the footrest can be easily understood and the usability is good.

In the stretch health appliance according to the third aspect of the present invention, since the length of the cane portion is adjustable, the length of the cane portion can be adjusted to the height of the person performing the stretching, Easy to use. In addition, when the device is not used, if the length of the cane is shortened and the cane is detached from the footrest, the device can be stored compactly and it is convenient to carry.
