Description

Exercise and Massage Equipment {COMBINED EXERCISER / MASSAGE DEVICE}

The present invention relates to exercise and massage equipment. This exercise and massage device combines the massage of the sitting person's feet while supporting the calf while improving the comfort of the legs and massages the muscles to enhance the effect of the active muscles.

People who sit and work for long periods of time do not have enough physical activity, which makes them feel uncomfortable because of poor circulation. In addition, since the body maintains a fixed sitting posture for a long time, it is easier to feel discomfort such as fatigue and stiffness of the body.

As a result, exercise equipment that can perform footsteps, such as riding a bicycle while sitting or lying down, has emerged. Such exercise equipment reinforces the foot's active function and promotes blood rotation of the human body by repeating the stepping motion when the user is sitting or lying down immediately.

However, the above-described bicycle footrest structure only provides a footfoot rotational motion to the foot, and there are many cases where it is inconvenient to use since there is no support point in the calf when the footfoot motion is performed. And such a rotary motion mechanism did not have a massage function. Thus, the use value of the exercise equipment is lowered.

The present invention has been devised in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a combined exercise and massage mechanism that allows the crank pedal to rotate by installing two cranks coupled to the axle on the pedestal. will be. The pedestal is provided with a support at an appropriate position corresponding to the calf of the user, so that the calf is supported by the support when the cranking operation is performed with the foot. When the foot is raised and lowered, the support part massages in response to the different up and down positions of the calf.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a combined exercise and massage mechanism provided with a coupling part and a through hole in the pedestal, and installed by combining the support and the elastic member. The support is provided with a support part, and the lower part is provided with a coupling part and a through hole. Both ends of the elastic member are supported by the pedestal and the support, respectively. The calves can be supported on the support of the support when cranking with the foot by engaging the support and the support via the engagement member. When the foot is raised and lowered, the support massages in response to the different up and down positions of the calf. The support uses the elasticity of the elastic member to allow the support to contact the calf with proper elasticity. Therefore, it exhibits a relatively good massage effect.
