The posture maintaining means includes knee supporters 51 and 52, hip supporters 53, shoulder supporters 54, and head supporters 55.

Knee support (51, 52) is provided with a pair to contact support the left and right knee of the golfer. The pair of knee supports 51 and 52 can reciprocate linearly in the vertical direction and can also be linearly moved in a direction closer or farther from each other. The linear movement of the knee support 51, 52 is driven by three actuators (511, 521, 525). One actuator 525 of the three actuators is for lifting the knee support, and the other two actuators 511 and 521 are for linear movement in the direction in which the knee supports 51 and 52 approach or move away from each other. Each actuator 511, 521, 525 is coupled to the vertical frame portion 12, and as is widely known to operate by hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders 511a, 521a, 525a and rods 511b, 521b, 525b that are flexible to the cylinder. It is configured to include). Specifically, the cylinder 525a is coupled to the vertical frame portion 12, and the rod 525b is coupled to the first connection frame 13. The cylinders 511a and 521a are coupled to the first connection frame 13, respectively, and the rods 511b and 521b are coupled to the knee supports 51 and 52, respectively. As a result, the actuator 525 is disposed below the first connecting frame 13, and the actuators 511 and 521 are disposed on both sides of the first connecting frame 13, respectively. The first connection frame 13 is formed in a cross shape as a whole.

One knee support 51 of a pair of knee support is a fixed knee support does not rotate, the other knee support 52 is a rotatable knee support. For example, if the golf swing practice apparatus of the present embodiment is configured for the practice of the right-handed golfer, the rotary knee support 52 supports the golfer's left knee, and the fixed knee support 51 supports the golfer's right knee. . In addition, the cylinder 521a of the actuator 521 for the rotary knee support 52 is rotatably coupled around the rotary shaft R1 as shown in the drawing, and thus the rotary knee support 52 is the rotary shaft. It is rotatable about R1 (rotates around an up-down direction). The rotary knee support 52 is rotatable between the reference position shown by the solid line in FIG. 7 and the finish position shown by the virtual line in FIG. 7.

The rotary knee support 52 is not pressed until the golfer hits the golf ball on the mat after the golfer takes the address posture and backswings and is placed in the reference position. And during the swing, the left knee of the golfer presses the rotary knee support 52, the rotary knee support 52 is rotated in conjunction with the swing, it is possible to rotate to the finish position corresponding to the finish posture of the golfer.

And after completing the swing, when the left knee is separated from the rotary knee support 52, the rotary knee support 52 is preferably pressed by the left knee to rotate in the opposite direction to the rotated direction to return to the original position, Such a return structure may be implemented by various known structures such as a torsion spring coupled to the rotating shaft R1, and thus a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Hip support 53 is in contact with the hips of the golfer to support the hips. Hip support 53 is coupled to the reciprocating linear movement in the vertical direction by the actuator 531. The cylinder 531a of the actuator is fixed to the first connecting frame, and the rod 531b of the actuator is fixed to the hip support. Therefore, the hip support 53 moves up and down according to the expansion and contraction of the cylinder 531a of the rod 531b. In addition, the hip support 53 is rotatable using the rotation axis (R2) as the center of rotation. Hip support 53 is rotated in conjunction with the swing, for example, the golf club is pressed by the hip until it reaches the finish posture from hitting the golf ball.

The shoulder support 54 contacts the golfer's shoulder to support the shoulder. In particular, in the exercise device for a right-handed golfer as in the present embodiment, the left shoulder of the golfer is supported. Shoulder support 54 is reciprocating linear movement in the vertical direction by the actuator 541 coupled to the vertical frame portion 12. The cylinder 541a of the actuator 541 is coupled to the vertical frame portion 12, and the rod 541b of the actuator is coupled to the second connection frame 14. The second connection frame 14 refers to a frame connecting the shoulder support 54 and the rod 541b. In addition, the shoulder support 54 is also rotatable about the rotation axis (R3), and is linked to the swing accordingly, the golf club is pressed by the shoulder until the finish posture from hitting the golf ball to rotate.

Head support 55 is in contact with the golfer's head to support the head. Head support 55 is coupled to the shoulder support 54, the structure of the second connecting frame 15 is coupled to the third connecting frame 15 coupled to the head support 55, for example, as shown in the figure Is achieved by And the head support 55 is reciprocating linear movement in the vertical direction together with the shoulder support 55 by the operation of the actuator 541 for driving the shoulder support (55). As such, the head support 55 and the shoulder support 54 are linearly moved together by one actuator 541, so that the distance between the head support 55 and the shoulder support 54 is not adjusted, but is necessarily limited thereto. Naturally, the head support 55 and the shoulder support 54 can be configured to have one additional actuator so as to move independently of each other. In addition, the head support 55 can also be rotated about the rotation axis (R3) in the same way as the shoulder support, and accordingly linked to the swing is pressed by the head until after the golf club hits the golf ball until reaching the finish position do.

And the rotary knee support 52 is configured to return to its original position after the swing, but the hip support 53, the shoulder support 54 and the head support 55 is not configured to return. Therefore, if you want to swing again after the swing is completed, the hip support 53, the shoulder support 54 and the head support 55 must be manually returned to the initial position.

In addition, the rotary knee support 52, hip support 53, shoulder support 54 and the head support 55 is rotatably coupled, this rotation structure is generally known, so the detailed description thereof is omitted here, However, only the respective rotation axis will be indicated by the reference numerals 'R1', 'R2' and 'R3'.
