Description

Tiptoe-hit exercise apparatus

The present invention relates to a toe kick exercise device.

In the toe-toe movement, in a sitting or lying position, with your feet slightly apart, place your heels on the floor, keep your feet close to your ankles, make the big toes of your feet collide with each other, and repeat the process of naturally moving away (away) from each other. This improves blood circulation in the lower body including the feet.

Due to the effect of this exercise, it was introduced on TV and the Internet, and people directly hit their toes.

It takes about 10 to 20 minutes to see the effect.

However, it is not easy to do it yourself unless you have a lot of patience to do it yourself for about 10-20 minutes.

Techniques for joint movement and leg movement by approaching or retracting both feet to each other are known in the patent documents, although it is not a conventional toe stroke.

As shown in FIG. 4, the joint correction device according to patent document 1 corrects misaligned or sprained joints through repeated motions of opening and closing of the upper part of the foot, and ultimately, the hip joint finds the correct position. It is a mechanism to hold the feet, and is composed of a left and right foot rest (1) and an operation unit (3) for holding feet. According to the length of the foot, the distance between the left and right feet can be variably adjusted to maximize the correction effect. If you place your feet on the footrest while lying down and select the speed of the speed controller, you will perform V-shaped and inverted V-shaped repetitive motions. The repetitive motions are transmitted to the ankle-knee-hip joint, and the separation of each joint is restored to its original position. Find it and restore it to its original state.

As shown in FIG. 5, the leg stretching device provided with the massage function of Patent Document 2 wraps and fixes both feet of the user in a pair of footholders 102, and through the gearbox assembly 108, the footholder 102. Rotate left and right within a certain range of angles, and perform muscle exercise in a short time by stretching the entire leg.

As shown in FIG. 6 , the leg exercise device of Patent Document 3 connects the mounting part 36 on which the heel is seated to the power transmission gear member and repeats forward and reverse rotation at a predetermined angle to joint and muscle of the leg. Let this be exercise.

The joint exercise mechanism of Patent Document 4 includes, as shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B , an operating means for enabling the rotation of the foot and the expansion and contraction of the play in a state in which the foot is placed; A driving means for driving the operating means so that the action of increasing the publication clearance while rotating so that the toe seated in the operating means is widened and the action of decreasing the publication clearance as the toe is rotated to become narrower are repeated; including, but the operation means includes: , a pair of rotary gears 150; A toothed rail 160 that allows the rotation gear 150 to rotate and slide while being engaged; It is respectively attached to the rotation gear 150 and consists of a pair of seating units 170 in which each foot is placed.

However, since all of these patent documents are rotated in a state in which the heel or foot is placed or worn, leg or ankle movement is possible, so it is difficult to strike the toe.

In other words, it should be viewed as “toe hitting” rather than “toe hitting” because the legs are twisted and approached even when the toe strike is made by approaching and moving away from each other in the state where the heel is accommodated. Practically, with the ankle as the center of rotation, the leg is almost still, and only the foot is turned or rotated to approach or retreat, and the speed or intensity is effective. However, if you hold the heel and turn it, the impact is very weak. can't
