Description of the invention: (1) The technical field to which the invention belongs The present invention relates to exercise aids, which can be used by people who are exercising in different ways, such as assisting in stretching limbs and strengthening the body, and providing stent movements on it , Or when using people for weight training. The scope of the invention is not limited in any way by which the motion aid is used. (B) the prior art M j \ \\ (C) Summary of the invention The present invention provides a motion aid, which includes an expandable body, the body has an outer (surface) surface and at least one expandable component at least in part The outer (surface) surface. The expandable body may have any suitable shape or form for engaging the lower end of the ground. For example, the lower end may be flat or it may bend outward in two or three degrees of space. The expandable component or a plurality of expandable components may be positioned on all or any portion of the outer surface of the expandable body. However, it is preferred to use the expandable component or most of the expandable components on top of the body during use. The expandable component can be divided into a plurality of segments to produce a bubbly appearance of any suitable shape and size and painted onto the expandable body or at least a portion thereof. These segments may extend over substantially all of the upper (surface) surfaces, or, optionally, may be provided with an array of multiples spaced apart and positioned on the upper 1238073 (surface) surfaces. For aesthetic reasons, the shape 'size and position of each segment can be changed to provide user support to produce a low-slip surface or the like. In one form of the invention, at least one expandable component or at least a portion of the expandable component is positioned and shaped to form a human headrest on the body. The body may have an upper surface including a seating area, and an expandable component may be positioned above the body adjacent to the seating area. The seating area can be defined by a recessed area. The inflatable component can be positioned for ease of use and is adapted to provide support to the user's back or part of the back. In a variant of the invention, the top is generally concave or convex, along with the strategic positioning and shaping of one or more expandable components to provide the required level of support. It is also possible to provide an inflatable component, which should again be divided into a plurality of segments, in one of the above positions so that the inflatable component provides support for one or two thighs or upper legs of the user. The expandable component can be connected to the body so that the body and the expandable component are uniformly expandable. Alternatively, the expandable component is made so that it is expandable separately from the body. At least one of the bodies may be constructed from a first piece of flexible material. The expandable component may be formed of at least a second piece of flexible material, and the second piece of flexible material is secured to the first piece of flexible material to form a bag or envelope, which allows it to be connected to the body and Inflated or inflated separately from the body and it defines individual segments. 1238073 In one version of the present invention, a component is formed which is swellable from the body, and then the component is attached to the body in any suitable manner. In other words, although the component is fastened to the body, the component is formed from self-separated components (such as sheet materials) of the system. In a preferred version of the present invention, the above includes at least a first piece of flexible material, and the expandable component is formed of at least a second piece of flexible material that is secured to the first piece of flexible material. Each piece of material may have contrasting colors to enhance the aesthetic appeal of the motion aid. For example, the body may be caused by a sheet material having one or more colors and the sheet material used to form an expandable component may be caused by a material having a contrasting color or a transparent material. The body should be made from plastic sheet material using various techniques well known in the art, and it allows the adjacent parts of the sheet material to be secured to each other, for example, by welding or similar processes. The body may be expandable through the first one-way filling valve and the expandable component may be separated and expandable through the second one-way filling valve. It is only possible to expand the expandable component and the body uniformly, and this method can be achieved by placing the expandable component in communication with the interior of the expandable body. When needed, an additional valve or valves can be used to quickly deflate the body or expandable assembly or both. The position and shape of the expandable component can be changed, in particular, the position and shape of the segments of the expandable component (when divided into segments) in order to provide a contour support surface of any suitable shape to the motion aid People who use it. For example, support for the waist may be provided by bags or segments that engage the -7-1238073 driver ’s lower s area of the user sitting on or moving on the body. (IV) Embodiments Figures 丨 to 4 of the accompanying drawings each exemplify: the motion aid according to the first form of the present invention comes from the surface (side view), is flat, comes from one end, and is Perspective etc. The motion aid includes a main body 12 and respective inflatable components ι4 and 16 together with the division of each component into a plurality of segments 18. Each segment is similar to a slightly flat rectangular bubble. The body 12 is made of tough and flexible plastic sheet material. Materials of this type well known in the art can be suitably formed into any suitable shape. The material's weight sensing pieces can be fastened to each other in a leak-proof manner using welding or similar techniques well known in the art. The body 12 has a lower engagement ground 20 and an upper or upper (surface) surface 22. The surface 20 is bent outward from one end 24 of the body to the opposite end 26 of the body. In the above direction, the low surface 20 is convex, but the degree of curvature can be changed as required. In the horizontal direction, see Fig. 3, the low surface 20 is substantially linear or flat. Similarly, with regard to the upper face 22, the body is bent from end 24 to end 26 in a complex manner. Referring to Fig. 1, the body has a recessed seating area 30 and is bent outwardly between the seating area and the end 24 to provide a thigh or leg area 32. On the opposite side of the seating area, the upper (surface) surface 22 is also curved outwardly, but in a less significant manner, a region 34 (which extends to the end 26) that engages the back is created. Referring to FIG. 3, it is specifically mentioned that in a direction 1238073 in a direction transverse to the end 24 and the end 26, the upper surface 22 is substantially flat or linear. The body 12 is a self-expanding flexible sheet material. Obviously, when the air pressure inside the body increases, the material tends to expand outward. Therefore, although the body can be contoured to any suitable shape in moderation, one surface, which may be flat or straight, will still tend to bend slightly outwardly, nominally. The main body 12 is internally supported by a slat to have the required profile, and the slat is welded to the inside of the sheet-like material constituting the main body. In the specific embodiment of Fig. 1, there are three slats (not shown), which are positioned inside the body at respective positions 40, 42 and 44. These slats, together with the various wires (on which the slats are internally welded to the body), give the body a linear or ribbed appearance and assist in limiting the body from its original design shape due to the internal pressure inside the body. Deformation. Segments 18 of the upper (table) surface 2 2 are divided into two arrays, each of which constitutes an expandable component 1 4 and 16 and each of them generally covers the front or leg support area 3 2 and the back support area 3 4. Each expandable component is formed from a sheet-like material 50 to a sheet-like material 52 forming the upper (surface) surface of the body, as shown in FIG. 5. Using a technique well known in the art, two pieces of material are welded to each other along a predetermined line 54. In fact, any appropriate type of segment can be formed on the upper (surface) surface 22 by carefully selecting the sheet material 50 to become the majority segment and the tack welding line 54. In this example, each of the segments constituting the expandable component 1 4 is substantially rectangular, for example, θ 'see Figure 2' and slightly smaller than the segments constituting the expandable component 6 ' It is also rectangular. Winter 1238073 Figure 5 A is similar to Figure 5 but shows the way in which the expandable component is formed, i.e. a bubble or segment structure. The two flexible plastic pieces 50 A and 5 4 A are welded to each other and interconnected to form an expanded component 1 8 A, which starts to separate from the body 12 and then joins the body in any form (using Permanent or detachable). For example, the component 1 8 A can be releasably attached to the body through the use of hook and loop material 56 (similar to the one sold under the registered trademark Velcro) or permanently attached to the body using an adhesive or welding 56. The valve 6 4 A is connected to 1 8 A and can only be used to inflate the assembly without expanding the body. The seating area 30 is substantially free of inflatable segments, except that a segment having the same or a different size from the rest of the upper (surface) surface can be provided in the seating area if necessary. The filling valve 60, which is a type well known in the art, can pressurize the inside of the body. This operation should be performed using an (air) air pump (not shown). The valve 60 may be any suitable __ 60. It may be a one-way valve which allows the interior of the body to be pressurized and its M to limit the escape of air from the body. When necessary, in order to allow & rapid bleed ', a valve or air bleed valve 60 A ^ ® can be provided, for example, see FIG. 3. As needed, the swellable components 14 and 16 may expand in unison with the bone. This is achieved simply by forming a sheet-like material 52 in the surface 22 of one or several holes 62 (see FIG. 5A). Or 'I place the expandable component 16 in air communication with the component, and 4 separate filling valves 64 to expand the two components together, or the different 50B can be attached as appropriate in the overall manner. The way to the component is required, and a small one is also provided with a proper position. Automatically seal the body on the appropriate 1 2 pass, about can be set each group -10- 1238073 pieces may have a separate valve. The exercise aid 10 can be used by people who are exercising in various ways. Typically, the user is seated on the seating area 30 and the user's legs are on the ground 70. Different exercises such as sit-ups, leg lifts and the like can then be performed. When engaged in weightlifting or similar sports, the user may also use the assistive device 10 as support. The exercise aid can be used to provide support during stretching and stretching of the limbs and the body, and if necessary, the exercise aid can be turned through 180 ° so that the upper 22 leans on the ground, and then the lower 20 provides a curved surface for Use people to do stretching exercises, push-ups and similar exercises. In this regard, the scope of the invention is not limited in any way. The body 12 has a large volume and is therefore relatively easy to deform to adjust to the weight of a person sitting or leaning on the body, usually providing solid support to those parts of the person's body that are in direct contact with the motion aid. Inflatable components 14 and 16 (dividing each of them into a number of fairly small segments) provide localization or point support to the user along with each segment, which, if properly pressurized, helps maintain its shape. Also, to a great extent, due to its rather "pi" rigid nature, each segment or bubble tends to provide a non-sliding surface suitable for the use of a person's thighs and back and each segment, providing what may be referred to as the "massage effect". According to a version of the present invention, Fig. 6 is similar to Fig. 4 in Fig. 10 of the sports assistance device 10 in Fig. 10A. Most of the views of the motion aid 10A are similar to those already described with respect to the motion aid 10, and therefore, these points will not be described further here. The motion aid 10A includes an expandable 1238073 expanded component 14 and an array divided into an array of segments 18. 6. A large segment, 8 A, is formed into an expandable component by selectively reducing the number of 'bond lines' in the array of this segment. The segment 18 A is positioned close to the terminal 26 at the highest point of the motion assist when in use, whereby the segment 18 A provides the user's head or support. If desired, the shape and size of the headrest can be further increased by using more deflector-like materials to define the segments 18 A. In each specific embodiment, the number of internal slats and the number, size, shape and position of the segments can be changed as needed. If necessary, cocoa expandable segments or foams are provided on each side of the body or if required, the lower ground-engaging surface is provided, but generally, it can be square, round, hemispherical, or oval only for aesthetic reasons. Or have any suitable shape. Figure 7 is a perspective view of the motion aid 10B according to the present invention, in another version. Also, where applicable, the same reference numerals are used to indicate phase components. The exercise aid 10B includes a recessed seating area 30A positioned between each of the 18 sections constituting the expandable module 14 and the expandable module 16. Positioning each shown in dashed lines, two elongated and curved tubular sections 80 and 82 are positioned on each side of the seating area adjacent to the corresponding faces 84 and 86 of the body 12. Segments 80 and 82 provide lumbar support status to the user's lower back on the sitting area 30A. Brother 8 shows another version of the present invention shown by the daco number ioc. On the (top) surface, 'the motion aid is similar to the motion aid 1 0 A shown in FIG. 6', but the lower curved surface section of the motion aid 1 〇a will have a pillow g of The same domain node in the display 2 0 -12- 1238073 is replaced by a generally flat or linear (not curved) under 20A. This configuration does limit the ability of the motion aid " pivot " on the ground, but on the other hand, the "flat" surface 20A provides more stable support for users who may be engaged in weight training or the like. The shape of the upper surface can be changed, for example, it is flat, or flat, inclined or curved outwards. It can be divided or divided into one or several expandable components. Part of the upper surface. Figure 9 is a perspective view of the exercise aid 10D according to the version of the present invention, which has an expandable body 12D, which is roughly elliptical when viewed from one side. Shape with each of the lower 20D and the upper 22D curved outward, that is: generally convex, but in the transverse direction, each of the lower 20D and the upper 22D is nominally flat or linear. The upper surface (the user can sit on it) does not easily slide down from the surface. The two relatively large inflatable components 1 4 D and 1 6 D are each positioned on the upper surface and each has a headrest and Most of the smaller inflatable knots 1 8 D. In the specific embodiment of FIG. 10 shown by the reference numeral 10E, the lower 20 F is convex and the upper 2 2 E is concave. The expandable component on the upper side is divided into a plurality of sections. Segment 1 8 E, which divides them into two spaced arrays X and Y, with waist support segments 80 E and 8 2 E on the opposite sides of the middle part of 2 2 E above. Obviously, the motion aid Each version of has unique characteristics mainly attributable to the shape of the ontology. Only in each instance 'each inflatable component or segment above contributes similar properties to the ontology 1 such as' localized support for users -13- 1238073 (V) Brief Description of the Drawings The present invention will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings through examples.
