Description

Seesaw Stepper

The present invention relates to a stepper, and in particular, the abdominal, muscular and aerobic exercise by performing a seesaw movement at an angle of about 30 ° with respect to the central axis of the foot rest on which the user's foot is mounted via a simple gear engagement structure. The whole body (calf, thigh, hip, side of the abdomen) can be exercised, and by changing the position of the foot that rests on the flat footrest, it can be done not only the right and left seesaw but also the forward and backward seesaw. A seesaw type stepper for

In general, since modern people are exposed to living diseases due to lack of exercise, there is a strong tendency to increase the amount of exercise in accordance with the well-being culture that is recently gaining attention.

At this time, the exercise equipment invented to perform a variety of exercises indoors in the cold winter, such as treadmill, stepper, rowing, belt vibration machine, etc. Various commonly used stepper can perform lower body aerobic exercise and strength exercise at the same time as known It is known that an exercise device capable of continuous movement at a predetermined position is provided as a user walks by stepping left and right footstool alternately by installing a lever with a shock absorber that is capable of moving up and down on a frame.

At this time, when looking at the structure of the stepper generally known, one end is hinged on the frame and the other end is formed so that the foot rest on the user's foot is formed, provided with a set of operating levers that cross each other and operate up and down, one end is the operation When hinged to the bottom of the lever and the other end is hinged to the bottom of the frame, when stepping on the foot, the fluid is compressed and compressed to a predetermined pressure, and consists of a cylinder that crosses the operating lever up and down, so that the user can step as if walking on the foot Has become a structure to strengthen the lower body strength.

These steppers are limited to the exercise of the foot up and down is not only limited to the muscle strength of the leg, there is a problem that can not be balanced aerobic exercise of the body.

For example, according to the data previously published or published by the Korean Intellectual Property Office, "stepping exercise equipment" of Utility Model Publication No. 1984-878, "Stepping foot exercise mechanism" of Publication No. 1996-2724, and Notification Number Seal 1997 -2976 "footed leg exercise mechanism" and the like, they are limited to the vertical movement of the footrest by the configuration in the same range as the above-described configuration, can not expect the effect of pelvic movement or abdominal movement.

Therefore, in consideration of this point, among the contents previously filed by the Korean Intellectual Property Office, Utility Model Registration No. 337634, "Stepper with Twisting Machine," is incorporated into the existing stepper by integrally installing a twister with a separate function. It is proposed to expect the effect of maximizing the exercise effect by enabling different exercises, but this is to move to the opposite direction after the stepping exercise to make the pelvic movement or rotational movement in the disk-shaped twist machine The problem is pointed out which is somewhat inconvenient to use.

In contrast, Utility Model Registration No. 385410, "Twisted Stepper," keeps the footstool inclined by an inclined frame, and allows the stepper's footstool to operate up and down alternately at an inclination of 45 degrees on a vertical line. Since it is possible to proceed the strength exercise and aerobic exercise at the same time can achieve the desired purpose and effect, there is a problem that the configuration is complicated, such as having a separate drive unit as in the prior art, and the scaffold support is 45 ° direction In the process, the footrest interlocked with the scaffold support is inclined at an angle of 45 ° rather than being horizontal in its structural state, so that the sole of the user is twisted at the same angle, causing pain due to the user's ankle. It has a problem that side effects can occur.
