The frame system is preferably, but not limited to, made of a metal material and having an outer shape, the lower portion of which is erected from the bottom end to the intermediate portion and perpendicular to the base 110, and the upper portion is bent forward from the intermediate portion to the top end. 45 degree.

The first crankshaft 10 is mounted near the upper end of the frame 60 by a conventional bearing mechanism. The first crank arms 12 are attached to the left and right sides of the first crankshaft 10. The grips 11 are respectively disposed on the two first crank arms 12 for grasping by the user. A first link gear 13 is formed with a tooth portion on its circumference and is also attached to the first crank shaft 10.

When the user holds the grip 11 and rotates the first crank arm 12, the first crankshaft 10 rotates therewith.

The second crankshaft 20 is mounted near the lower portion of the intermediate portion of the frame 60 by a conventional bearing mechanism. The second crank arms 22 are attached to the left and right sides of the second crankshaft 20. The pedal 21 is disposed on the second crank arm 22 to allow the user's foot to be placed thereon. A second chain gear 23 and a third chain gear 24 are attached to the second crankshaft 20. The diameter of the second link gear 23 is relatively small, and the second link gear 23 and the third link gear 24 are formed with teeth surrounding the outer periphery thereof.

When the user places the foot on the pedal 21 and rotates the second crank arm 22, the second crankshaft 20 rotates accordingly, thereby causing the second link gear 23 and the third link gear 24 to rotate accordingly.

A first driving force transmitting member 40 for transmitting torque between the first crank shaft 10 and the second crank shaft 20 to each other, and thereby for connecting the crank shaft 10 and the crank shaft 20, the first driving force transmitting member The 40 series is engaged with the surrounding teeth, and the teeth are formed on the outer circumferences of the first link gear 13 and the second link gear 23. The first driving force transmitting member 40 is preferably a transmission belt. However, the first driving force transmitting member 40 is not limited to the transmission belt, and may be a chain belt or any other tooth that can be engaged with the teeth formed on the outer circumferences of the first and second chain gears 13 and 23. Equivalent devices are not limited to this.

Two sets of idler guides 42 are mounted on the curved portion of the frame body 60, and are respectively engaged with the inner circumference and the outer circumference of the first driving force transmitting member 40 to control the rail and the first driving force transmitting member in the rail. The tension of 40 is formed by a drive belt as the first driving force transmitting member 40. The idler guide 42 is mounted such that the track of the first driving force transmitting member 40 follows the overall shape of the frame 60 and has a function of controlling tension so that the drive belt does not loosen. For this reason, the gap between the idler guides 42 is slightly narrower than the width of the track of the first driving force transmitting member 40, and the width of the track of the first driving force transmitting member 40 is the first chain gear 13 And the second chain gear 23 is defined.

A bracket 61 is mounted and fixed to the base 110, and a drive shaft 30 is attached to the bracket 61 by a conventional bearing mechanism. The wheel body 31 serves as a moving load which is the same as that of the conventional indoor bicycle moving device, and has a drive chain gear 32 attached to the drive shaft 30.

The tooth portions are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the drive chain gear 32. A second driving force transmitting member 50 is engaged with the teeth formed on the driving link gear 32 and the third chain gear 24, respectively, to transmit torque from the third chain gear 24 to the drive chain gear 32. Similar to the first driving force transmitting member 40, the second driving force transmitting member 50 is composed of a driving belt or a chain belt, and if other equivalent devices can be engaged with the third chain gear 24 and the driving chain gear 32, With the teeth, it is also possible to constitute the second driving force transmitting member 50 using these equivalent devices.

When the torque is transmitted from the second crankshaft to the drive chain gear 32 via the third link gear 24, the wheel body 31 attached to the drive shaft 30 also rotates as the drive chain gear 32 rotates.

On the other hand, a saddle joint member 70 is mounted near the bend of the frame 60 to which a saddle 71 is engaged. As described above, the saddle 71 is engaged for the user to seat thereon to use the whole body exercise apparatus according to the present invention as a conventional indoor bicycle apparatus.

In addition, a grip 80 is fixed to the upper end of the frame 60. When the whole body exercise device according to the present invention is used as a conventional indoor exercise device, the fixed grip 80 is used for the user to hold, and the pedal 21 is rotated to prevent the user's body from shaking from one side to the other. .

On the other hand, since the wheel body of the whole body exercise apparatus according to the present invention does not contact the ground as a moving load, it is difficult to obtain a sufficient motion effect, and therefore, a load applying mechanism for applying the load to the wheel body 31 is further provided. 90, and one for controlling the negative applied to the wheel The load control mechanism 91 of the load.

The load applying mechanism 90 includes a magnetic generating mechanism 901 for applying suction to the wheel body 31 in the case where the wheel body is made of a metal material. When the magnetic generating mechanism 91, whether a permanent magnet or an electromagnet, can be used, and as can be seen from FIG. 2, the magnetic generating mechanism 901 preferably has a portion of an arc shape corresponding to a concentric circle of the arc of the wheel body 31. .

As the magnetic generating mechanism 901 approaches the wheel body 31, the suction force applied between the wheel body 31 and the magnetic generating mechanism 901 also increases, and vice versa, so that the user can adjust the wheel body by the load control mechanism 91. The distance between the magnetic generating mechanism 901 and the magnetic generating mechanism 901 is adjusted to adjust the amount of exercise load suitable for the user.

The load control mechanism 91 allows the user to manually adjust the length of the cable 93 connected to the magnetic adjustment mechanism 901, and pulls the cable 93 to bring the magnetic generating mechanism 901 closer to the wheel body 31. The unexplained number 94 is a force spring which generates a strong tension when the magnetic generating mechanism 901 approaches the wheel body 31. When the user wants the magnetic generating mechanism 901 to be detached from the wheel body 31, the magnetic generating mechanism 901 can be detached from the wheel body 31 by releasing the cable so that the tension of the tension spring 94 resists the tensile force of the magnetic generating mechanism 901.

The load applying mechanism 90 is not limited to this embodiment, but as shown in FIG. 4, in other embodiments, a magnetic generating mechanism 901 which is partially curved may be disposed in the wheel body 31 in such a manner that A compression spring 94 urges the magnetic generating mechanism 901 toward the wheel body 31. The user releases the magnetic generating mechanism 901 from the wheel body 31 by resisting the compressive force of the compression spring 94, so that the magnetic force can be adjusted to act as a moving load on the wheel body.

In another embodiment, the load applying mechanism 90 uses physical friction instead of magnetic force, and a pad contacting the outer surface of the wheel body 31 can be adapted to apply a motion load to the wheel body 31. The amount of motion load applied to the wheel body 31 can be freely adjusted by the aforementioned cable 93 as the load control mechanism 91 and the spring 94.

The working action of the whole body exercise device according to the present invention and set as described above will be as After the explanation.

When the user places the foot on the pedal 21 and holds the grip 11 with both hands to exercise using the whole body exercise device according to the present invention, the user's posture is like leaping from the saddle of the conventional exercise bicycle to accelerate the bicycle and quickly Step on the pedals.

When the user steps on the pedal, the second crankshaft 20 rotates, so the driving force is transmitted to the first driving force transmitting member 40 engaged with the second chain gear 23, wherein the second chain gear 23 is attached to the first The two crankshaft 20, such a driving force, causes the first crankshaft 10 to rotate via the first chain gear 13.

On the other hand, when the user rotates the crank shaft 10 while holding the grip 11, since the first crank shaft 10 and the second crank shaft 20 are interlocked by the first driving force transmitting member 40, the first crank shaft 10 and the second crankshaft 20 are rotated together by the resultant force generated by the action of the user's arms and feet.

This resultant force is transmitted to the second driving force transmitting member 50 engaged with the third chain gear 24, wherein the third chain gear train is successively mounted on the second crank shaft 20. The driving force of the resultant force is transmitted to a driving chain gear 32 meshed with the second driving force transmitting member 50, and the driving shaft 30 and the wheel body 31 are simultaneously rotated as a moving load, and the driving chain gear 32 is attached to On the drive shaft 30, it is possible to use the simultaneous whole body movement of both hands and feet.

If the user requires a heavier motion load, the user operates the load control mechanism 91 to pull the cable 93 connected to the load applying mechanism 90, and the load applying mechanism 90 approaches the wheel body 31 to increase the amount of motion load. On the other hand, if the user needs to reduce the exercise load, the user has to operate the load control mechanism 91 to loosen the cable 93 connected to the load applying mechanism 90, so that the tension spring 94 applies a force to the load applying mechanism 90 from the wheel body 31. Get rid of.

In particular, according to the whole body exercise apparatus of the present invention, a whole body exercise which is performed on average using the limbs of the human body is possible.

For example, the user can align the first crankshaft 10 with the second crankshaft. The same phase is thus rotated in such a manner that the one side pedal 21 and the grip 11 and the other side of the pedal 21 and the grip 11 are synchronized, thereby moving the arms and legs on both sides in synchronization.

Of course, if the user is not willing, the first crankshaft 10 and the second crankshaft 20 are not necessarily aligned in a synchronized manner. Conversely, both the first crankshaft 10 and the second crankshaft 20 can be aligned with a phase difference of 90 degrees, 180 degrees, or 270 degrees.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art, based on the foregoing, that the pedals and the grips have been arranged in a completely different arrangement or sequence for rotation, according to the user's purpose, and that the crankshaft is at the same time. It can be aligned at the time of manufacture and / or use.

Further, when the user does not want to perform a full-body exercise and wants to engage in a conventional indoor bicycle exercise, the user can sit on the saddle 71, hold the fixed grip 80 and step on the pedal 21. In this case, when the pedal 21 rotates, the first driving force transmitting member 40 and the second driving force transmitting member 50 engaged with the second sprocket teeth simultaneously transmit the driving force, whereby the first crank shaft (10) and the wheel The body (31) is synchronously rotated in accordance with the first chain gear (13) and the drive chain gear (32).
