Description

Inverted machine with gravity traction pin device

The present invention relates to an inverted machine, and more particularly to an inverted machine having a gravity traction pinching mechanism.

The spine of the back of the human body consists of 26 independent vertebral bodies and related cartilage, which are the pillars supporting the weight of the human body. Therefore, once the spine is deflected or misplaced, it may cause compression or irritate nerves, causing symptoms such as soreness and abnormal function of body organs. Patients with general spinal injuries or abnormalities often feel aches in the lower back and paralysis of the limbs. At present, it is impossible to cure except for the knife. According to clinical trials, the inverted position can open the intervertebral space, avoid the pain of nerve compression, and then strengthen the surrounding muscles with appropriate exercise to effectively improve the pain or discomfort caused by abnormal spinal cord.

In recent years, there have been a variety of inverted machines on the market that allow users to hang upside down to improve the pain and discomfort caused by spinal abnormalities. The inverted machine is generally provided with a pinching mechanism for preventing the user from slipping, so that when the lying plate of the inverted machine is in the inverted position, the pinching mechanism can hook the user's foot so that the user can be firmly fixed to the inverted machine. However, the existing pinching mechanism is not convenient in use. For example, the user needs to manually clamp the user's foot by manually clamping the foot before the handstand is performed, so as to prevent the user from slipping when the handstand is inverted. Moreover, the lever device of the manual pinch mechanism is positioned by the hole position or the tooth of the gear, and the pinch is too tight or not tight, which makes the user feel uncomfortable or unsafe. Therefore, how to eliminate the user's manual step of kicking the pinch mechanism, and how to avoid the user's uncomfortable or unsafe feeling, so that the user can use the inverted machine more conveniently, comfortably and safely, One of the problems that personnel should solve.

The present invention provides an inverted machine for eliminating the need for the user to manually activate the pinch mechanism to allow the user to more conveniently use the inverted machine.

The inverted machine disclosed in one embodiment of the present invention comprises a bracket, a top plate, a sliding rod member, a rotating rod member and a pinching mechanism. The top plate is rotatably disposed on the bracket for rotation between a standing position and an inverted position. The sliding bar is disposed on the top plate and protrudes from one side of the top plate. The rotating rod is pivoted on the sliding rod. The pinch mechanism includes at least one first footrest and at least one second footrest. The at least one first footrest and the at least one second footrest are respectively disposed on the sliding bar member and the rotating bar member. Wherein, when the top plate is in the standing position, the first foot rest is spaced from the second foot, and the second foot is relatively close to the first foot by gravity traction during the rotation of the top plate from the standing position to the inverted position. Reduce the spacing by.

According to the inverted machine of the above embodiment, since the second leg of the pinch mechanism is pivotally disposed on the sliding bar through the rotating lever member, the flat plate can be pulled in the standing position through the gravity of the foot pad during the rotation of the top plate. When the second foot is relatively far away from the first foot, and the top plate is pulled back by gravity, the second foot is relatively close to the first foot by gravity traction. In this way, when the top plate is in the inverted position, the second foot of the pinch mechanism can clamp the user's foot to prevent the user from slipping.

Moreover, the driving source of the pinch mechanism is the traction through the weight of the foot pad and the gravity of the body, without manual control by the user. This makes it easier for users to use the inverted machine.

The above description of the present invention and the following description of the embodiments are intended to illustrate and explain the principles of the present invention and to provide a further explanation of the scope of the present application.

Please refer to Figure 1 to Figure 2. 1 is a perspective view of an inverted machine according to a first embodiment of the present invention. 2 is a perspective view of the upside down plate of the inverted machine of FIG. 1 .

The inverted machine 10 of the embodiment comprises a bracket 100, a top plate 200, a sliding rod member 300, a rotating rod member 400 and a pinch mechanism 500.

The bottom of the bracket 100 is, for example, in contact with the ground. The top panel 200 can be used to support the back of the user, and the top panel 200 can be rotatably disposed on the bracket 100 for rotation between a standing position (shown in Figure 1) and an inverted position (shown in Figure 2). In this embodiment, the top plate 200 is additionally pivoted to the bracket 100 through a rod member, but not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the top panel 200 can also be directly pivoted to the bracket.

The slide bar member 300 is disposed on the top panel 200 and protrudes from one side of the top panel 200. In detail, the sliding bar 300 includes a fixing rod 310 and a sliding rod 320. The fixing rod 310 is mounted on the top plate 200. The sliding rod 320 is slidably disposed on the fixing rod 310 to adjust the length of the sliding rod 300.

The rotating lever member 400 is pivotally mounted on the sliding lever 320 of the sliding lever member 300. The rotating lever 400 includes a first rod 410 and a second rod 420. The first rod 410 is pivotally connected to the sliding rod 320 through a pivot 450, and the second rod 420 is coupled to the first rod 410 and disposed away from the sliding rod 320 so that the center of gravity of the rotating rod 400 is located at the sliding rod. 300 is away from one side of the bottom edge of the bracket 100. In other words, the center of gravity of the rotating lever member 400 is located on one side of the sliding lever member 300 away from the ground. In addition, in other embodiments, in addition to the pivotal connection between the first rod 410 and the sliding rod 320 through the pivot 450, a bearing (not shown) may be added to improve the rotation smoothness of the rotating rod 400.

The pinch mechanism 500 includes a plurality of first footrests 510 and at least one second footrest 520. The first leg rest 510 and the second foot rest 520 are respectively disposed on the sliding rod 320 and the rotating rod member 400 of the sliding rod member 300. The second footrest 520 can be driven relatively close to or away from the first footrest 510 by the rotating lever member 400. Furthermore, when the top panel 200 is in the standing position (as shown in FIG. 1), the first footrest 510 maintains a distance from the second footrest 520, and the top panel 200 rotates from the standing position to the inverted position (FIG. 2). During the process shown, the second footrest 520 can be relatively close to the first footrest 510 to reduce the spacing. In this embodiment and other embodiments, the inverted machine 10 may also include a weighting block, for example, disposed on the second footrest 520 or the rotating lever member 400 to improve the clamping tightness of the clamping mechanism 500.

It should be noted that the number of the first footrest 510 and the second footrest 520 is not intended to limit the present invention. In other embodiments, the number of the first footrest 510 and the second footrest 520 may be only one.

In the present embodiment, the inverted machine 10 further includes a drawstring 600. One end of the drawstring 600 is coupled to the side of the top panel 200 adjacent to the clip mechanism 500, and the other end of the drawstring 600 is coupled to the bracket 100. In detail, the drawstring 600 of the embodiment includes a chain segment 610 and an elastic segment 620. The chain segment 610 is, for example, an iron chain. The elastic section 620 is, for example, a spring rope, and the elastic section 620 is connected to the chain section 610. In other embodiments, the drawstring 600 may also include only elastic segments.

In the present embodiment, the inverted machine 10 further includes a pair of grips 700. The grip 700 is mounted to the bracket 100. The grip 700 is used for the user to hold and urges the top panel 200 to lean backwards by the force of the user's hand. It should be noted that in other embodiments, the number of grips 700 may also be only one.

Please refer to Figure 3 to Figure 6. 3 to 6 are schematic views showing the use of the inverted machine of Fig. 1.

As shown in FIG. 3, the top panel 200 is in a standing position, the angle of inclination of the top panel 200 to the ground is large, and the pinch mechanism 500 is located below the top panel 200. In this position, the overall center of gravity of the rotating rod 400 and the second footrest 520 falls on one side of the pivot shaft 450 away from the sliding rod 320, so the rotating rod 400 is pulled by gravity and the second footrest 520 is relatively far away from the first position. One foot rests on 510. As a result, the user's foot extends between the first footrest 510 and the second footrest 520 of the pinch mechanism 500, and the back of the user 20 is secured to the top plate 200.

Next, as shown in FIG. 4, when the user 20 relaxes and lie back, the top panel 200 can be rotated to a position close to the horizontal direction in the direction indicated by the arrow a. In this position, the overall center of gravity of the rotating lever member 400 and the second footrest 520 still falls on the side of the pivot shaft 450 away from the sliding rod 320, so the rotating lever member 400 is still pulled by gravity to maintain the second footrest 520. Relatively far from the first foot 510.

Next, as shown in FIG. 5, when the user 20 is relaxed and reclined, the top panel 200 can be driven to continue to rotate in the direction indicated by the arrow a and the head of the user 20 is slightly lower than the foot. In this position, the overall center of gravity of the rotating lever member 400 and the second footrest 520 is changed to fall on one side of the pivot shaft 450 near the sliding rod 320, so that the rotating lever member 400 will rotate relative to the sliding rod 320 under the weight pulling. Let the second foot rest on 520

Instead, it is relatively close to the first foot 510. In this way, the first footrest 510 and the second footrest 520 can clamp the foot of the user 20.

In addition, when the top panel 200 is in this position, since the drawstring 600 has been straightened, the elastic section 620 of the drawstring 600 can provide an elastic cushioning force to cushion the downward force of the top panel 200.

Next, as shown in FIG. 6, the hand of the user 20 can hold the grip 700 and output the force to continue the rotation of the top plate in the direction indicated by the arrow a to the inverted position. In this position, the overall center of gravity of the rotating lever member 400 and the second footrest 520 still falls on one side of the pivot shaft 450 near the sliding rod 320, so that the first footrest 510 and the second footrest 520 can continue to be clamped. The foot of the user 20 prevents the user 20 from slipping.

It can be seen from the above action that the rotating lever member 400 can be driven by gravity to rotate relative to the sliding lever member 300, so that the rotating lever member 400 can be automatically pulled by the gravity during the transition from the standing position to the inverted position. The second footrest 520 of the foot mechanism 500 grips the foot of the user 20 to prevent the user 20 from slipping.

Further, when the top panel 200 is in the inverted position, since the elastic section 620 of the pull cord 600 has been stretched, an elastic force can be provided to drive the top panel 200 to rotate in the direction of the standing position.

According to the inverted machine of the above embodiment, since the second leg of the pinching mechanism is pivotally disposed on the sliding bar member through the rotating lever member, the traction plate can be pulled by gravity to make the lying plate in the standing position during the rotation of the lying plate. The second foot is driven relatively far away from the first foot, and the top plate automatically drives the second foot closer to the first foot when approaching the inverted position. In this way, when the top plate is in the inverted position, the second foot of the pinch mechanism can clamp the user's foot to prevent the user from slipping.

Moreover, the driving source of the pinch mechanism is traction by gravity, without manual control by the user. This makes it easier for users to use the inverted machine.

In addition, the elastic pull cord is arranged to reduce the momentum of lying on the back of the board, so that the user can make the restoring process smoother and more soothing, and provide a restoring force for turning the top board to the standing position.

Although the present invention has been described above in terms of the preferred embodiments thereof, it is not intended to limit the present invention, and it is intended that those skilled in the art can make some modifications and refinements without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The scope of the new patent protection shall be subject to the definition of the scope of the patent application attached to this specification.
