Description

Exercise aids {EXERCISE ASSISTING TOOL}

The present invention relates to a mechanism that assists in facilitating movement of the body, such as stretching and twisting.

Various exercise aids have been devised and marketed, but there are problems such as complicated structures or large and expensive. This invention is made | formed by examining the exercise aid which is simple and inexpensive, paying attention to cleaning tools, such as a mop, and examining whether it can improve and use it as an exercise aid.

Exercises and gymnastics involving the stretching and twisting of the body tend to fall into the magnetic stream and cause an accident such as falling down due to lack of stability of the body.

In addition, it is expensive and requires a space to be fixed in a large size in commercially available exercise equipment. On the contrary, the small ones are used individually by the user, so there is a danger of causing an accident between users when used in a group.

This invention is made | formed in view of such a problem, Comprising: A structure is simple and it provides an inexpensive exercise aid.

The first problem solving means of the present invention for achieving this object is composed of a base portion, a support rod that is axially stretchable and rotatable, and a coupling member for elastically supporting one end of the support rod in a direction perpendicular to the base portion. It is.

The 2nd problem solving means is equipped with the function which the said support rod is extensible, rotatable, and can be fixed at arbitrary positions.

The third problem solving means includes a base member, a coupling member made of a tubular or columnar elastic material, a pipe-shaped first support rod attached to the base portion by the coupling member, and a first support rod. A second support rod slidably and rotatably inserted from the other end, a fastener capable of fixing and releasing the second support rod in an arbitrary position with respect to the first support rod, and an area suitable for placing a palm on the circumferential edge It has a some processus | protrusion provided in the space | interval which can insert a some finger in the, and the handle part provided in the upper end of the said 2nd support rod is provided.

As for 4th subject solution means, the said coupling member is comprised so that attachment and detachment are possible with respect to the said base part and the said support rod.

The 5th subject solution means is comprised by the combination of the elastic member and the member which enables deformation | transformation of the said elastic member, and expresses resistance.

[Effects of the Invention]

According to the first problem solving means, the supporting rod is axially stretchable and rotatable with respect to the base portion, and the force for elastically supporting in the vertical direction of the coupling member is not very strong. Therefore, the function of the exercise aid, rather than the function of supporting the body, the position of the support rod of the exercise equipment or the positional relationship with the base portion can be sensed visually or tactilely with respect to the position of the body at the current position. Function becomes the main function. By this function, the user can easily perform the movement of stretching and twisting the body, etc. while maintaining the balance. In addition, it is easy to grasp the difference between the movement of one's body and that of an instructor's body, and to acquire standard body movements.

In addition, the user can exercise from the base part as a starting point, and can naturally return to the original position to balance the amount of forward, backward, left, and right movements. This allows each user to exercise within their own area, thereby reducing the risk of contact between users when exercising in a group.

According to the second problem solving means, the length of the supporting rod can be adjusted in accordance with the height by the function which can be fixed to an arbitrary length, and the body can be supported by holding the appropriate portion of the supporting rod. When the fixing function is released, the load on the coupling member can be reduced, and the life of the coupling member can be extended.

According to the third problem solving means, the supporting rod is automatically vertical when the base part is placed on the floor, so that the body can be supported by holding a proper portion of the handle or the supporting rod by a function that can be fixed to an arbitrary length, thereby maintaining balance. In the meantime, the body stretching and twisting can be easily stabilized. When the fixing function is released, not only the gymnastics incorporating the operation of stretching the supporting rods can be introduced, but also the load on the coupling members can be reduced, thereby extending the life of the coupling members.

According to the fourth problem solving means, the coupling member can be replaced, and maintenance becomes easy.

According to the fifth problem solving means, it is possible to simplify the structure and reduce the failure by removing the mechanical movable part.

Figure 1 shows an embodiment of the exercise aid of the present invention, on the upper surface of the base portion 1, the bottom surface (1a) is in close contact with the floor or in contact with a strong frictional force, the support rod that is stretchable and can be fixed to any length One end of (2) is attached via the coupling member 3, and is comprised so that it may swing around the coupling member 3. As shown in FIG.

The coupling member 3 is comprised as the universal joint mechanism which inserted the spherical part 2a formed in the lower end of the support rod 2 in the spherical recess 1b formed in the base part 1 in this embodiment. .

In addition, at the center of the spherical portion 2a, a projection 4 made of an elastic material formed perpendicular to the base portion 1 is fitted so that the support rod 2 is always elastically supported so as to be perpendicular to the base portion 1. . In addition, although the protrusion 4 is comprised integrally with the base part 1 in this embodiment, even if elastic members, such as a coil spring, are fixed to the base part 1, it exhibits the same effect.

On the other hand, the support rod 2 is divided into two (2b, 2c), the base part side support rod 2b is made to be able to expand | stretch by inserting the other support rod 2c as a pipe, and the fastener 5 It is comprised so that it may be fixed to arbitrary length etc., and the handle part 6 is formed in the upper end of the support rod 2. As shown in FIG.

In this embodiment, the fastener 5 is unwound and the support rod 2c is stretched and adjusted so that the handle portion 6 is in a position that is easy to use for the user, and the length is arbitrarily adjusted and fixed by the fastener 5.

In this state, as shown in (a) of FIG. 2, the handle 6 formed at the upper end of the supporting rod 2 is held in hand, and the body is bent and stretched so as to be centered on the lower end of the supporting rod 2, or FIG. When twisted as shown in 2 (b), the spherical portion 2a constituting the engaging member 3 under the supporting rod 2 rotates in the recess 1b with respect to the elasticity of the protrusion 4, The handle 6 moves in a circular motion. This allows the user to safely perform the twisting motion without losing balance.

When the end of the movement is released and the handle part 6 is released, since the protrusion part 4 restores to the vertical direction by its elasticity, the spherical part 2a also returns to its original position and the supporting rod 2 is in a vertical state.

Moreover, in the above-mentioned embodiment, although the coupling member 3 is comprised by the spherical part and the hemispherical concave part, as shown in FIG. 3, the rotating shaft 40, so that it may cross the base part 1 horizontally horizontally, and may be located up and down. Even if the structure which arrange | positioned 41 is employ | adopted, rotation of the support rod 2 with respect to the base part 1 can be attached freely.

In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, although the universal joint mechanism is used as the coupling member 3 which rotatably supports a support rod, as shown in FIG. 4, while making the base part 1 consist of elastic materials, such as rubber | gum, Even if the accordion-like protrusion 1c is formed at the position where the supporting rod 2 is attached, and the lower end of the supporting rod 2 is fixed to the recessed portion 1d formed therein, the elastic deformation of the protrusion 1c is fixed. By using the support rod (2) can be attached to the base portion (1) rotatably.

Preferably, when the protrusion body 1c is composed of a viscoelastic material, for example, a mixture of lead particles in rubber, etc., the viscoelastic material can be rotated by the elasticity of the viscoelastic material and the rapid repulsive force can be suppressed by the viscosity. have.

Fig. 5 shows another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the supporting rods 2 are composed of two structures, one supporting rod 2b is composed of pipes, and the base portion 1 has a cylindrical shape. Or it is attached via the coupling member 3 which has elasticity like stick-shaped rubber, and has some viscosity, and the other support rod 2c is slidably inserted in the said one support rod 2b.

In addition, at the upper end and the lower end of the rubber body 31 constituting the coupling member 3, bolts 32 and nuts 33 are formed of a hard material such as metal, as shown in FIG. (2b) and the base part 1 are provided with the nut 34 and the bolt 35, respectively, and can be replaced easily.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, a first fastening made of an elastic material, for example, a polymer material, having a dividing groove, and having a screw formed on the outer circumference at an upper end of the supporting rod 2b attached to the base 1. The length of the whole support rod 2 is arbitrarily adjusted and fixed by the 2nd fastener 52 with which the spherical 51 was fixed and the screw was formed in the inner periphery in the ring shape loosely fitted to the other support rod 2c. It is configured to do so.

A handle portion 6 is formed at the upper end of the second supporting rod 2c, and the handle portion 6 is placed on an approximately circular palm having a diameter of 5 to 10 cm when viewed from the top as shown in FIG. Two projections 61 and 62 are formed with a suitable area and spaced apart to accommodate a group of recognition, middle finger, and ring finger.

In this embodiment, if the height of the support rod 2 is adjusted to fix the fastener 5 so that the position of the handle part 6 becomes a suitable height, the support rod 2 is used as an auxiliary tool similarly to the above-mentioned embodiment. I can do gymnastics stably.

On the other hand, when the fastener 5 is released and the upper support bar 2c is slidable with respect to the other support bar 2b, the upper support bar 2c is stretched and expanded as shown in FIG. It becomes possible to do gymnastics while rotating. According to this, since the load to the support rod 2b by gymnastics is reduced by sliding and relative rotation between the support rods 2c, even if it is intense gymnastics, the load to the base part 1 and the coupling member 3 is reduced. I can alleviate it.

In addition, in the case of gymnastics while sliding the support bar in this way, the second fastener 52 is pulled up to the upper end, and the middle of the cross-section C shape as shown in Fig. 9A is shown below the fastener 52. When the fastener 53 is attached to prevent the vertical movement of the second fastener 52 (FIG. 9B), the first and second fasteners 51 and 52 of the first and second fasteners 51 and 52 are slid when the support bar 2b is slid. Avoiding collisions can prevent damage or deterioration. The intermediate fixture 53 may be provided with a screw that fits the screw of the second fixture 52 as necessary.

Moreover, since the recessed part 1e is formed in the bottom part of the base part 1, even if it piles up, the protrusion part of the bolt 35 of the base part 1 is accommodated in this recessed part 1e, and it laminated stably. It is also very suitable for use in large quantities in gymnastics classrooms and the like.

In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, although the length of a support rod is adjusted by expansion-contraction, as shown to Fig.10 (a), the small piece 2c 'of the same diameter as a 2nd support rod, for example, length of about 5 cm. You may prepare several things and may adjust the number of the small piece 2c 'added according to height.

That is, as shown in (b) of FIG. 10, the small piece 2c 'forms a screw rod 2e' fitted at one end to the screw hole 2d 'at the other end thereof. Preferably, the anti-slip O-ring, washer, etc. are fitted to the screw rod 2e '.

Moreover, the bolt 63 which screw-fits to the screw hole 2d 'of the small piece 2c' is formed in the center of the lower surface of the handle part 6. As shown in FIG.

According to this, when the screw hole in which the screw rod 2e 'of the small piece 2c' is screwed is formed in the upper end of the 2nd support rod 2c, the 2nd support rod 2c is produced according to the person with low elongation. The length can be freely changed by adding the small piece 2c 'according to the elongation.

According to this, the 2nd support rod 2c can be moved more smoothly at the time of gymnastics which slides the 2nd support rod 2c.

As described above, the exercise assisting tool according to the present invention has a feature that the structure is simple and inexpensive, mechanically simple, and the occurrence of failure is small. It is suitable for the user to use it individually, and to make the exercise or gymnastics accompanying the stretching and twisting of the body easily and in a stable state easily.

The exercise aids used individually by the user generally have a risk of contact between users when used in a group, but the exercise aid according to the present invention has such a low risk since the user exercises based on the base part. Moreover, when not using, it can be accommodated in a narrow space and can replace the engagement member which may be faulty. That is, the exercise aid according to the present invention is particularly suitable as an exercise aid used collectively in schools, gymnastics classrooms, and the like.
