Description

Exercise Bed combined with Automatic and Semi-Automatic functions}

The present invention relates to an exercise bed combining automatic and semi-automatic functions. More specifically, the present invention relates to an exercise bed that combines the functions of an existing bed and the function of an exercise machine by adding a foot rest and a headrest to provide strength training and spinal and You can focus more on strengthening your back muscles. By combining technology that allows the footrest to move forward and backward automatically and semi-automatically, you can adjust the distance to walk without being restricted by the user's physical condition, and to sit or lie down. You can secure your legs by hanging them even when performing movements, so you can feel stable when performing movements or increase the exercise correction effect. By combining the technology of the headrest that can move up and down automatically and semi-automatically, you can move your head step by step when exercising while lying down and leaning back. This is about an exercise bed that combines automatic and semi-automatic functions that allow users to safely perform movements according to their level, regardless of whether they are a beginner or an expert.

The backbending motion, which extends the spine backward, has the effect of not only correcting imbalances in the upper extremities such as a curved back and round shoulders, but also correcting imbalances in the lower extremities, including the pelvis. However, as effective as it is, if you do a backbend with your bare body without relying on equipment, there is a high risk of injury, such as losing your balance and falling backwards, in the case of people who do not have muscle strength or are not flexible.

The bodies of modern people who spend more than half of their day sitting or standing for long periods of time are in a very distorted state. Their shoulders and backs are especially bent, so they suffer from musculoskeletal pain or diseases related to this. One of the movements that are good to do consistently to solve this problem is backbending, but as mentioned before, if you backbend in an incorrect posture or perform the movement excessively, rather than achieving a movement correction effect, it will only cause further discomfort due to muscle damage.

Meanwhile, the present applicant has developed an assembly for yoga, registered patent number 10-1952162, and an automatic and semi-automatic assembly for pelvic exercise, registered patent number 10-2518813, and has applied for an exercise bed, registered patent number 10-2023-0060760. ,

First, the yoga assembly can effectively perform movements by fixing parts of the body by performing various movements by combining various props with the first to sixth assemblies combined with the plate, but due to the structure of the first to sixth assemblies, the hip Beginners may feel scared or have difficulty with weak neck muscles because the height is too high to stabilize the entire body and make the movement of leaning the upper body back, and the height of the assembly that can hang both feet cannot be adjusted, making it difficult for users with high insteps. There is a limitation that it is inconvenient to put it in. Therefore, there is a need for height-adjustable foot rests and exercise equipment that can safely tilt the upper body back while resting the lower body and back.

Automatic and semi-automatic assemblies for pelvic exercises can correct pelvic distortion by safely and effectively enabling leg-spreading movements based on distance movement and control, but they cannot actively exercise in a standing state and do not allow for muscle strengthening. There is a limitation in the lack of variety of movements, so there is a need for technology that allows for variety of movements and application of movements through combination with exercise props or changes in structure.

In the case of the pending exercise bed, it is similar in appearance to the exercise bed combining automatic and semi-automatic functions of the present invention, but the exercise bed is used for neck and back problems such as for beginners and scoliosis or stenosis when the upper body is tilted back. Users with medical conditions have limitations in that they may feel fear or even feel pain because there is no component to support their head. In addition, since there are no other coupling members on the base of the exercise bed, it is impossible to hang or secure the legs during operation, and there are limitations in the absence of technical elements that move automatically, so coupling technology with various components is required.
