　上記の構成の運動補助装置は、使用者がシート２に腰を掛けて左右の足を夫々足置き部６に置き、左右の手のいずれかで一方のハンドル４０を把持した状態で、他方の手で操作パネル５に配置した起動スイッチを投入し、起動スイッチを投入後に他方の手で他方のハンドル４０を把持する。 In the exercise assisting device having the above-described configuration, the user sits on the seat 2 and places the left and right feet on the footrest 6 and grips one handle 40 with one of the left and right hands. The start switch arranged on the operation panel 5 is turned on by hand, and after the start switch is turned on, the other handle 40 is held with the other hand.
　起動スイッチを投入することで、前記駆動部３を作動させてシート２を揺動させる。この時、前述のように、シート２が左右に傾きながらシート２が前方に傾くものであり、このシート２の左右の傾きによる使用者の重心移動は足置き部６を使用者が踏み込む動作を与えることになる。 When the start switch is turned on, the driving unit 3 is operated to swing the seat 2. At this time, as described above, the seat 2 tilts left and right while the seat 2 tilts forward, and the user moves the center of gravity due to the left and right tilt of the seat 2 by the user stepping on the footrest portion 6. Will give.
　この踏み込み動作に対する前記ばね６１による抵抗が足に対して運動を与えることになるものであり、しかも使用者の足はその膝の角度を一定に保ったままでよく、このために膝に疾患があって膝の屈伸に痛みが伴う使用者でも問題なく使用することができる。特に膝角度が１４０°程度になるようにシート２の高さをセットすれば、膝にかかる負担がきわめて小さくて済む。また、シート２の高さを低くして膝の屈曲角度を大きくした状態で上記踏み込み動作を行えば、膝関節に対しても上記ばね６１による負荷を加えることができる。 The resistance by the spring 61 against this stepping motion gives the foot exercise, and the user's foot may remain at the same knee angle, and there is a disease in the knee. Even users with pain in knee flexion and extension can be used without problems. In particular, if the height of the seat 2 is set so that the knee angle is about 140 °, the burden on the knee can be extremely small. Further, if the stepping operation is performed in a state where the height of the seat 2 is lowered and the knee flexion angle is increased, the load by the spring 61 can be applied to the knee joint.
　上記のようにシート２が左右に傾きながらシート２が前方に傾くことで使用者が足の踏み込み動作を行うと、踏み込んだ側の一方のハンドル４０に対して踏み込んだ側の手から該一方のハンドル４０を前方に押す力が作用し、該一方のハンドル４０がばね４３４のばね力に抗して一方の手により前方に移動し、これにより、踏み込んだ側の一方の手がばね４３４のばね力に抗して前方に突き出される運動が行われる。このように踏み込んだ側の一方の手が前方に突き出されると、踏み込んだ側の足に体重がのり、足の踏み込み動作を確実に行える。また、この時、使用者の上半身は手を突き出した方が前方側となるように捻られることになり、上半身の捻り運動が同時に行われる。 As described above, when the seat 2 is tilted forward and left while the seat 2 is tilted forward, the user performs a stepping operation on the foot, the one of the stepped-on side handles 40 and the other hand A force that pushes the handle 40 forward acts, and the one handle 40 moves forward by one hand against the spring force of the spring 434, whereby one hand on the stepped-on side moves to the spring of the spring 434. The movement is pushed forward against the force. When one hand on the depressed side protrudes forward in this way, the weight is applied to the depressed foot, and the stepping action of the foot can be reliably performed. At this time, the upper body of the user is twisted so that the direction in which the user sticks out the hand is on the front side, and the upper body is twisted at the same time.
　また、使用者の上半身は手を突き出した方が前方側となるように捻られることで、踏み込んだ方と反対側の手（他方の手）は後側に引かれ、他方のハンドル４０をばね４３４のばね力に抗して後方に引くことになる。 In addition, the upper body of the user is twisted so that the side protruding the hand is on the front side, the hand opposite to the stepped-on side (the other hand) is pulled to the rear side, and the other handle 40 is moved to the spring. It pulls backward against the spring force of 434.
　これにより、足の踏み込みによる下肢への運動付与に連動して、使用者の一方の手がばね４３４のばね力に抗して前に突き出されるとともに他方の手がばね４３４のばね力に抗して後方に引く運動をなされて上半身の捻り運動が行われることになる。 As a result, one hand of the user is pushed forward against the spring force of the spring 434 and the other hand is resistant to the spring force of the spring 434 in conjunction with the movement imparted to the lower limb by stepping on the foot. Then, the upper body is twisted by pulling backward.
　このように一方側の足を踏み込んだ際に、踏み込んだ側の手（一方側の手）が前方に移動し、他方側の手が後方側に移動することで、踏み込み側により確実に体重がのることになる。 When the foot on one side is stepped on in this way, the hand on the stepped side (one hand) moves forward and the hand on the other side moves backward, so that the weight can be more reliably increased by the stepping side. It will be.
　足の踏み込みが逆になると、上記上肢の動きも上記とは逆の運動となる。 When the stepping on the foot is reversed, the movement of the upper limb is also the opposite movement.
　上記運動において手で把持したハンドル４０が前後方向に移動する際、ハンドル４０が軸受け部４０１に対して回転自在であるため、手首に無理な力が作用しない。 When the handle 40 gripped by the hand in the above movement moves in the front-rear direction, the handle 40 is rotatable with respect to the bearing portion 401, so that an excessive force does not act on the wrist.
　図６にはハンドル４０，４０を、使用者の足の踏み込み動作に合わせて使用者の手が所定方向に往復運動可能とする機構の他の実施形態が示してある。 FIG. 6 shows another embodiment of a mechanism that allows the user's hand to reciprocate the handle 40, 40 in a predetermined direction in accordance with the stepping action of the user's foot.
　支持体４に設けたハンドル取付け部４３内の左右にはそれぞれ前後方向に移動自在にラック４５１，４５１が前後方向に移動自在に内装してあり、左右のラック４５１はピニオン４５２に互いに噛み合っていて、一方のラック４５１が前方に移動するとピニオン４５２を介して他方のラック４５１が後方に移動し、他方のラック４５１が前方に移動するとピニオン４５２を介して一方のラック４５１が後方に移動するように構成してある。両ラック４５１，４５１にはそれぞれ軸受け部４０１，４０１が取付けてあり、左右の軸受け部４０１，４０１にそれぞれ左右のハンドル４０，４０の一端を回転自在に軸支してあり、左右のハンドル４０，４０はそれぞれハンドル取付け部４３の左右側面に設けた前後方向に長い長孔４３３，４３３から側方に突出している。左右のラック４５１，４５１にはそれぞれはね４３４，４３４のばね力が付勢してあり、一方のばね４３４の付勢方向と他方のばね４３４の付勢方向は逆方向となっており、外力を加えない状態では両ばね４３４，４３４により左右のハンドル４０，４０が各長孔４３３，４３３の前後方向の略中間部分に位置してする中立位置を保持している。 Racks 451 and 451 are mounted on the left and right sides of the handle mounting portion 43 provided on the support body 4 so as to be movable in the front-rear direction, and the left and right racks 451 mesh with the pinion 452. When one rack 451 moves forward, the other rack 451 moves backward via the pinion 452, and when one rack 451 moves forward, the one rack 451 moves backward via the pinion 452. It is configured. Bearings 401 and 401 are attached to both racks 451 and 451, respectively, and one ends of the left and right handles 40 and 40 are rotatably supported on the left and right bearings 401 and 401, respectively. Reference numerals 40 respectively project laterally from long holes 433 and 433 which are provided in the left and right side surfaces of the handle mounting portion 43 and which are long in the front-rear direction. The left and right racks 451 and 451 are energized by spring forces of springs 434 and 434, respectively, and the energizing direction of one spring 434 and the energizing direction of the other spring 434 are opposite to each other. In a state in which no is added, the left and right handles 40, 40 are held by the two springs 434, 434 at a neutral position where they are located at substantially intermediate portions in the longitudinal direction of the long holes 433, 433.
　上記の構成の運動補助装置は、駆動部３を作動させてシート２を揺動させ、シート２の左右の傾きによる使用者の重心移動により足置き部６を使用者が踏み込む動作を与える際、踏み込んだ側の一方のハンドル４０に対して踏み込んだ側の手から該一方のハンドル４０を前方に押す力が作用し、該一方のハンドル４０がばね４３４のばね力に抗して一方の手により前方に移動し、これにより、踏み込んだ側の一方の手がばね４３４のばね力に抗して前方に突き出される運動が行われ、足を踏み込んだ側の手が前方に突き出され、踏み込んだ側の足に体重がのり、足の踏み込み動作を確実に行えることになる。このとき一方のラック４５１が前方に移動するので、ピニオン４５２を介して他方のラック４５１が後方に移動して他方のハンドル４０が後方に移動し、他方のハンドル４０を把持している他方の手が後方に移動させられる運動が行われ、これにより踏み込んだ側の足により確実に体重がのることになる。 When the movement assisting device having the above-described configuration operates the drive unit 3 to swing the seat 2 and gives the user a stepping on the footrest unit 6 by moving the center of gravity of the user due to the left / right inclination of the seat 2, A force that pushes the one handle 40 forward acts on the one handle 40 on the depressed side, and the one handle 40 resists the spring force of the spring 434 by one hand. As a result, the hand on the side where the foot is stepped is moved forward against the spring force of the spring 434, and the hand on the side where the foot is stepped is pushed forward and stepped on. The weight is placed on the side leg, and the stepping action of the foot can be reliably performed. At this time, since one rack 451 moves forward, the other rack 451 moves rearward via the pinion 452 and the other handle 40 moves rearward, and the other hand holding the other handle 40 is moved. Is exercised to move backwards, so that the foot on the side that has been stepped on will surely gain weight.
　また、上記のように、足の踏み込みによる下肢への運動付与に連動して、使用者の一方の手がばね４３４のばね力に抗して前に突き出されるとともに他方の手がばね４３４のばね力に抗して後方に引かれる運動がなされて上半身の捻り運動が行われることになる。しかもこの左右の上肢の屈伸運動は互いに連動して行われ、特に他方のハンドル４０の後方への移動により手を後ろに引く運動がアシストされるので、無理なく手を後ろに引く運動を行うことができる。 In addition, as described above, one hand of the user is pushed forward against the spring force of the spring 434 in conjunction with the movement imparted to the lower limb by stepping on the foot and the other hand of the spring 434 The upper body is twisted by a backward movement against the spring force. In addition, the bending movements of the left and right upper limbs are performed in conjunction with each other, and in particular, the movement of pulling the hand back is assisted by the backward movement of the other handle 40. Can do.
　本実施形態においても足の踏み込みが逆になると、上記上肢の動きも上記とは逆の運動となる。 Also in this embodiment, when the stepping of the foot is reversed, the movement of the upper limb is also the movement opposite to the above.
　図７にはハンドル４０，４０を、使用者の足の踏み込み動作に合わせて使用者の手が所定方向に往復運動可能とする機構の更に他の実施形態が示してある。 FIG. 7 shows still another embodiment of a mechanism that allows the user's hand to reciprocate the handle 40, 40 in a predetermined direction in accordance with the stepping action of the user's foot.
　本実施形態においては回動体４７の両側部に左右のハンドル４０，４０を設けてあり、この回動体４７を支持体４に設けたハンドル取付け部４３に回動自在に取付けてある。すなわち、回動体４７の下面部から下方に垂下した軸部４７１をハンドル取付け部４３に設けた軸受け部４０１に回転自在に軸支してあり、更に、軸部４７１には回動体４７を回転方向の中立位置に保持するばね力が付与するためのばね４３４が装着してある。 In this embodiment, left and right handles 40 and 40 are provided on both sides of the rotating body 47, and the rotating body 47 is rotatably attached to a handle mounting portion 43 provided on the support body 4. That is, a shaft portion 471 hanging downward from the lower surface portion of the rotating body 47 is rotatably supported by a bearing portion 401 provided on the handle mounting portion 43, and the rotating body 47 is rotated on the shaft portion 471. A spring 434 for applying a spring force to be held in the neutral position is attached.
　上記の構成の運動補助装置は、駆動部３を作動させてシート２を揺動させ、シート２の左右の傾きによる使用者の重心移動により足置き部６を使用者が踏み込む動作を与える際、踏み込んだ側の一方のハンドル４０に対して踏み込んだ側の手から該一方のハンドル４０を前方に押す力が作用し、これにより回動体４７がばね４３４のばね力に抗して一方向に回動し、回動体４７の一側部から外側方に突出した一方のハンドル４０が一方向に回動するようにして前方に移動する。これにより、踏み込んだ側の一方の手がばね４３４のばね力に抗して回動するようにして前方に突き出される運動が行われ、踏み込んだ側の足に体重がのり、足の踏み込み動作を確実に行えることになる。このとき回動体４７が一方向に回動するので、他方のハンドル４０が一方向に回動するようにして後方に移動し、他方のハンドル４０を把持している他方の手が回動するようにして後方に移動させられる運動が行われ、これにより踏み込んだ側の足により確実に体重がのることになる。 When the movement assisting device having the above-described configuration operates the drive unit 3 to swing the seat 2 and gives the user a stepping on the footrest unit 6 by moving the center of gravity of the user due to the left / right inclination of the seat 2, A force to push the one handle 40 forward from the stepped-on hand acts on the one handle 40 on the stepped-on side, whereby the rotating body 47 rotates in one direction against the spring force of the spring 434. The one handle 40 protruding outward from one side of the rotating body 47 moves forward so as to rotate in one direction. As a result, one hand on the stepped-on side is moved forward against the spring force of the spring 434 so that the hand is pushed forward, the weight on the stepped-on foot is added, and the stepping-on operation of the foot is performed. Can be done reliably. At this time, since the rotating body 47 rotates in one direction, the other handle 40 moves rearward so as to rotate in one direction, and the other hand holding the other handle 40 rotates. Thus, a movement that moves backward is performed, so that the weight on the foot on which the foot is stepped on is reliably increased.
　また、上記のように、足の踏み込みによる下肢への運動付与に連動して、使用者の一方の手がばね４３４のばね力に抗して回動するようにして前に突き出されるとともに他方の手がばね４３４のばね力に抗して回動するようにして後方に引かれる運動がなされて上半身の捻り運動が行われることになる。しかもこの左右の上肢の屈伸運動は互いに連動して行われ、特に他方のハンドル４０の後方への移動により手を後ろに引く運動がアシストされるので、無理なく手を後ろに引く運動を行うことができる。 Further, as described above, one hand of the user protrudes forward while rotating against the spring force of the spring 434 in conjunction with the movement imparted to the lower limb by stepping on the foot and the other hand As the hand rotates against the spring force of the spring 434, the upper body is twisted and the upper body is twisted. In addition, the bending movements of the left and right upper limbs are performed in conjunction with each other, and in particular, the movement of pulling the hand back is assisted by the backward movement of the other handle 40. Can do.
　本実施形態においても足の踏み込みが逆になると、上記上肢の動きも上記とは逆の運動となる。 Also in this embodiment, when the stepping of the foot is reversed, the movement of the upper limb is also the movement opposite to the above.
　図８にはハンドル４０，４０を、使用者の足の踏み込み動作に合わせて使用者の手が所定方向に往復運動可能とする機構の更に他の実施形態が示してある。 FIG. 8 shows still another embodiment of a mechanism that allows the user's hand to reciprocate the handles 40, 40 in a predetermined direction in accordance with the stepping action of the user's foot.
　本実施形態においては支持体４に設けたハンドル取付け部４３の両側部に設けた長孔４３３に一端部を前後方向に移動自在に設けた左右のハンドル４０，４０を、ハンドル取付け部４３内において連結部４９で連結してある。ここで、連結部４９の両側にはそれぞれ軸受け部４０１，４０１が取付けてあり、該軸受け部４０１にハンドル４０の一端部が回転自在に軸支してある。更に、連結部４９にはばね４３４により回転自在な回動体４７を回転方向の中立位置に保持するばね力が付与してある。 In the present embodiment, the left and right handles 40, 40 provided with one end portions movably in the front-rear direction in the long holes 433 provided on both sides of the handle attachment portion 43 provided on the support 4 are disposed in the handle attachment portion 43. They are connected by a connecting part 49. Here, bearing portions 401 and 401 are attached to both sides of the connecting portion 49, respectively, and one end portion of the handle 40 is rotatably supported on the bearing portion 401. Further, the connecting portion 49 is provided with a spring force for holding the rotatable rotating body 47 at the neutral position in the rotational direction by the spring 434.
　上記の構成の運動補助装置は、駆動部３を作動させてシート２を揺動させ、シート２の左右の傾きによる使用者の重心移動により足置き部６を使用者が踏み込む動作を与える際、踏み込んだ側の一方のハンドル４０に対して踏み込んだ側の手から該一方のハンドル４０を前方に押す力が作用し、該一方のハンドル４０がばね４３４のばね力に抗して一方の手により前方に移動し、これにより、踏み込んだ側の一方の手がばね４３４のばね力に抗して前方に突き出される運動が行われ、踏み込んだ側の足に体重がのり、足の踏み込み動作を確実に行えることになる。このとき一方のハンドル４０が前方に移動すると、一方のハンドル４０と他方のハンドル４０とが連結部４９で連結してあるので、他方のハンドル４０もばね４３４に抗して前方に移動し、他方のハンドル４０を把持している他方の手が前方に移動させられる運動が行われ、両方の手が共に前方に移動して体重がのるので、上半身のストレッチ運動、特に、両上肢のストレッチ運動ができる。 When the movement assisting device having the above-described configuration operates the drive unit 3 to swing the seat 2 and gives the user a stepping on the footrest unit 6 by moving the center of gravity of the user due to the left / right inclination of the seat 2, A force that pushes the one handle 40 forward acts on the one handle 40 on the depressed side, and the one handle 40 resists the spring force of the spring 434 by one hand. As a result, one hand on the stepped-on side is moved forward against the spring force of the spring 434, and the weight on the foot on the stepped-on side is put on and the stepping action of the foot is performed. It can be done reliably. At this time, when one handle 40 moves forward, the one handle 40 and the other handle 40 are connected by the connecting portion 49, so the other handle 40 also moves forward against the spring 434, The other hand holding the handle 40 is moved forward, and both hands move forward to gain weight, so that the upper body stretches, especially the stretches of both upper limbs. Can do.
　ここで、一方の足を踏み込んだ際に一方のハンドル４０が前方に突き出されることで、上半身に一方のハンドル４０側を把持した手が前をなるように捻られる力が作用するが、本実施形態においては、このとき、他方のハンドル４０の前方への移動により該他方のハンドル４０を把持した他方の手が前方に移動するように引かれることになり、したがって、使用者の上半身には、一方の足を踏み込むことに連動して一方の手から上記上半身を一方側に捻ろうとする力が与えられるとともに、他方の手から上記上半身の捻り方向と反対方向の引っ張り力が作用することになって、より効果的な上半身の運動ができる。 Here, when one of the handles 40 is pushed forward when one of the feet is stepped on, a force is applied to the upper body so that the hand holding the one handle 40 side is twisted forward. In the embodiment, at this time, the other hand holding the other handle 40 is pulled forward by the movement of the other handle 40 forward. In conjunction with stepping on one foot, a force is applied to twist the upper body from one hand to the other side, and a pulling force in the direction opposite to the twisting direction of the upper body acts from the other hand. This makes for a more effective upper body exercise.
　本実施形態においても足の踏み込みが逆になると、上記上肢の動きも上記とは逆の運動となる。 Also in this embodiment, when the stepping of the foot is reversed, the movement of the upper limb is also the movement opposite to the above.
　図９（ａ）（ｂ）にはハンドル４０，４０を、使用者の足の踏み込み動作に合わせて使用者の手が所定方向に往復運動可能とする機構の更に他の実施形態が示してある。 9A and 9B show still another embodiment of a mechanism that allows the user's hand to reciprocate the handle 40, 40 in a predetermined direction in accordance with the stepping action of the user's foot. .
　前述の各実施形態はそれぞれ使用者の足の踏み込み動作に合わせて使用者の手が前後方向に往復運動可能となるようにした例につき説明したが、本実施形態においては、使用者の足の踏み込み動作に合わせて使用者の手が上下方向に往復運動可能となるようにしてある。 Each of the above embodiments has been described with respect to an example in which the user's hand can be reciprocated in the front-rear direction in accordance with the stepping motion of the user's foot. The user's hand can be reciprocated in the vertical direction in accordance with the stepping operation.
　図９（ａ）に示す実施形態においてはハンドル４０，４０の移動方向が上下方向となっていることが図５の実施形態と異なり、他の構成は図５の実施形態と同様であり、また、図９（ｂ）に示す実施形態においてはハンドル４０，４０の移動方向が上下方向となっていることが図６の実施形態と異なり、他の構成は図６の実施形態と同様であるので、ハンドル４０，４０の往復移動機構についての説明は前後方向を上下方向と言い換えるのみであるから機構の具体的説明は省略する。 In the embodiment shown in FIG. 9 (a), the moving direction of the handles 40, 40 is the vertical direction. Unlike the embodiment of FIG. 5, the other configuration is the same as the embodiment of FIG. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 9B, the moving direction of the handles 40 is vertically different from the embodiment of FIG. 6, and other configurations are the same as those of the embodiment of FIG. The description of the reciprocating mechanism of the handles 40, 40 is merely rephrasing the front-rear direction as the up-down direction, and a specific description of the mechanism is omitted.
　図９（ａ）の実施形態においては、駆動部３を作動させてシート２を揺動させ、シート２の左右の傾きによる使用者の重心移動により足置き部６を使用者が踏み込む動作を与える際、踏み込んだ側の一方のハンドル４０に対して踏み込んだ側の手から該一方のハンドル４０を下方に押す力が作用し、該一方のハンドル４０がばね４３４のばね力に抗して一方の手により下方に移動し、これにより、踏み込んだ側の一方の手がばね４３４のばね力に抗して下方に突き出される運動が行われ、このように踏み込んだ側の一方の手が下方に突き出されると、踏み込んだ側の足に体重がのり、足の踏み込み動作を確実に行える。また、このように踏み込んだ側の一方の手が下方に突き出されると、使用者の上半身は手が突き出された方が下となるように傾き、このように上半身が一方側が下となるように傾くことで上半身の他方側が上に移動して他方の手を方に引き上げるような力が作用し、他方のハンドル４０をばね４３４のばね力に抗して上方に引くことになり、踏み込み側の足により確実に体重がのることになる。 In the embodiment of FIG. 9A, the driving unit 3 is operated to swing the seat 2, and the user is stepped on the footrest unit 6 by moving the center of gravity of the user due to the left / right tilt of the seat 2. At this time, a force that pushes the one handle 40 downward from the stepped-on hand acts on the one handle 40 on the stepped-on side, and the one handle 40 resists the spring force of the spring 434 on one side. The hand moves downward so that one hand on the depressed side protrudes downward against the spring force of the spring 434, and the one hand on the depressed side moves downward. When pushed out, the weight is applied to the foot on which the foot is stepped on, and the foot can be stepped on reliably. In addition, when one hand on the side that has been stepped on in this way protrudes downward, the upper body of the user is tilted so that the person whose hand is protruded is down, and thus the upper body is on one side down When the other side of the upper body moves upward and the other hand is pulled upward, the other handle 40 is pulled upward against the spring force of the spring 434. Your feet will surely carry your weight.
　また、これにより、足の踏み込みによる下肢への運動付与に連動して、使用者の一方の手がばね４３４のばね力に抗して下方に移動されるとともに他方の手がばね４３４のばね力に抗して上方に引く上げられる運動がなされて上半身の運動が行われることになる。 In addition, in this way, one hand of the user is moved downward against the spring force of the spring 434 and the other hand is spring force of the spring 434 in conjunction with the movement imparted to the lower limb by stepping on the foot. The upper body is exercised by pulling upward against the upper body.
　足の踏み込みが逆になると、上記上肢の動きも上記とは逆の運動となる。 When the stepping on the foot is reversed, the movement of the upper limb is also the opposite movement.
　また、図９（ｂ）の実施形態においては、駆動部３を作動させてシート２を揺動させ、シート２の左右の傾きによる使用者の重心移動により足置き部６を使用者が踏み込む動作を与える際、踏み込んだ側の一方のハンドル４０に対して踏み込んだ側の手から該一方のハンドル４０を下方に押す力が作用し、該一方のハンドル４０がばね４３４のばね力に抗して一方の手により下方に移動し、これにより、踏み込んだ側の一方の手がばね４３４のばね力に抗して下方に突き出される運動が行われ、このように踏み込んだ側の一方の手が下方に突き出されると、踏み込んだ側の足に体重がのり、足の踏み込み動作を確実に行える。このとき一方のラック４５１が下方に移動するので、ピニオン４５２を介して他方のラック４５１が上方に移動して他方のハンドル４０が上方に移動し、他方のハンドル４０を把持している他方の手が上方に移動させられる運動が行われ、踏み込み側の足により確実に体重がのることになる。 In the embodiment of FIG. 9B, the driving unit 3 is actuated to swing the seat 2, and the user steps on the footrest unit 6 by moving the center of gravity of the user due to the left / right inclination of the seat 2. Is applied to the one handle 40 on the depressed side from the depressed hand, and the one handle 40 resists the spring force of the spring 434. One hand moves downward, thereby causing one hand on the depressed side to project downward against the spring force of the spring 434, and thus the one hand on the depressed side moves. When protruding downward, the weight is applied to the foot on which the foot is stepped on, so that the foot can be stepped on reliably. At this time, since one rack 451 moves downward, the other rack 451 moves upward via the pinion 452, the other handle 40 moves upward, and the other hand holding the other handle 40. Is exercised so that the weight is surely carried by the foot on the stepping side.
　また、このように、足の踏み込みによる下肢への運動付与に連動して、使用者の一方の手がばね４３４のばね力に抗して下方に突き出されるとともに他方の手がばね４３４のばね力に抗して上方に引き上げられる運動がなされて上半身の運動が行われることになる。しかもこの左右の上肢の上下屈伸運動は互いに連動して行われ、特に他方のハンドル４０の上方への移動により手が上に引き上げられる運動がアシストされるので、無理なく手を上方に引く運動を行うことができる。 In addition, in this way, one hand of the user is protruded downward against the spring force of the spring 434 in conjunction with the movement imparted to the lower limb by stepping on the foot, and the other hand is the spring of the spring 434. The upper body is exercised by the exercise of being lifted upward against the force. Moreover, the vertical bending and stretching movements of the left and right upper limbs are performed in conjunction with each other, and in particular, the movement of the hand to be pulled up is assisted by the upward movement of the other handle 40. It can be carried out.
　本実施形態においても足の踏み込みが逆になると、上記上肢の動きも上記とは逆の運動となる。 Also in this embodiment, when the stepping of the foot is reversed, the movement of the upper limb is also the movement opposite to the above.
　上記したいずれの実施形態においても、ばね４３４が手の前後方向の運動、あるいは上下方方向の運動において抵抗を加える負荷手段となっており、これにより、所定方向への手の移動に対して負荷が加えられて、足の踏み込み動作が確実におこなえて下肢への運動付与が確実に行え、更に、この下肢への運動付与に連動した上半身、特に上肢の強い運動ができることになる。 In any of the above-described embodiments, the spring 434 serves as a load means for applying resistance in the movement in the front-rear direction of the hand or the movement in the up-down direction. Thus, the stepping action of the foot can be surely performed, and exercise can be imparted to the lower limbs, and the upper body, particularly the upper limbs can be exercised in conjunction with the exercise of the lower limbs.
　ところで、本発明においては、ハンドル４０を所定方向に移動させる駆動手段を備えてもよい。 By the way, in the present invention, a driving means for moving the handle 40 in a predetermined direction may be provided.
　例えば、図１０示す実施形態のように、両ラック４５１，４５１に噛み合っているピニオン４５２を駆動する駆動手段を構成するモータ４８を設ける。このモータ４８は左右の足置き部６，６の踏み込み動作に連動して駆動し、しかも、一方の足置き部６が踏み込まれると対応する一方のハンドル４０が前方に移動するようにモータ４８が一方向に回転駆動し、他方の足置き部６が踏み込まれると上記とは逆に対応する他方のハンドル４０が前方に移動するようにモータ４８が他方向に回転駆動するようになっている。 For example, as in the embodiment shown in FIG. 10, there is provided a motor 48 that constitutes a driving means for driving a pinion 452 meshing with both racks 451 and 451. The motor 48 is driven in conjunction with the stepping operation of the left and right footrests 6, 6, and when the one footrest 6 is stepped on, the motor 48 moves so that the corresponding one handle 40 moves forward. When the other footrest portion 6 is driven to rotate in one direction and the other footrest portion 6 is stepped on, the motor 48 is rotationally driven in the other direction so that the other handle 40 corresponding to the opposite is moved forward.
　また、図１１示す実施形態の場合、回動体４７を回動する駆動手段を構成するモータ４８を設ける。このモータ４８は、左右の足置き部６，６の踏み込み動作に連動して駆動し、しかも、一方の足置き部６が踏み込まれると対応する回動体４７を一方向に回動して、一方のハンドル４０を一方向に回動するようにして前方に移動するようにモータ４８が一方向に回転駆動し、他方の足置き部６が踏み込まれると上記とは逆に回動体４７が逆方向に回動して、他方のハンドル４０が他方に回動するようにして前方に移動するようにモータ４８が他方向に回転駆動するようになっている。 Further, in the case of the embodiment shown in FIG. 11, a motor 48 constituting a driving means for rotating the rotating body 47 is provided. The motor 48 is driven in conjunction with the stepping operation of the left and right footrests 6, 6. Further, when one footrest 6 is stepped on, the corresponding rotating body 47 is rotated in one direction, When the motor 48 is driven to rotate in one direction so that the handle 40 is moved in a direction so as to rotate in one direction, and the other footrest 6 is stepped on, the rotating body 47 is reversed in the opposite direction. The motor 48 is driven to rotate in the other direction so that the other handle 40 moves forward so that the other handle 40 rotates in the other direction.
　図１２には左右のハンドル４０，４０がそれぞれ独立した別々の駆動手段であるモータ４８、４８により回動するようにした例であり、このものは左右のハンドル４０，４０をそれぞれ独立して所定方向に往復動することができ、両モータ４８，４８の回転方向をそれぞれ独立して選択できるようにすることで、使用者の一方側の足が踏み込んだ際に、当該一方側の手が前方（又は下方）に移動可能となるとともに、他方側の手が後方（又は上方）に移動可能となるようにした運動や、あるいは、使用者の一方側の足が踏み込んだ際に、当該一方側の手が前方（又は下方）に移動可能となるとともに、他方側の手が前方（又は下方）に移動可能となるようにした運動等、異なる運動を選択することができる。 FIG. 12 shows an example in which the left and right handles 40, 40 are rotated by motors 48, 48, which are independent and independent drive means, respectively. Can be reciprocated in the direction, and the rotation direction of both motors 48 and 48 can be selected independently, so that when one foot of the user steps on, the one hand moves forward. When one side of the user is stepped on, or when one side of the user is stepped on, the other side is movable (or downward) and the other hand is movable backward (or upward). Different movements can be selected, such as a movement that allows the other hand to move forward (or downward) and the other hand to move forward (or downward).
　ところで、図１に示す実施形態では、立ち上がり部１１に鐙７を配置した例が示してある。この図１に示す実施形態においては、前述のように使用者がシート２に座り、左右の足を左右一対の足置き部６，６に載せるとともに左右の手で左右のハンドル４０，４０を把持して前述のように、下肢への運動付与に連動して上半身、上肢の運動を行うことができるだけでなく、これとは別の運動として、使用者がシート２に座るとともに鐙７に足を乗せ、この状態で駆動部３を作動させてシート２を揺動させれば、乗馬を模した運動を行うことができるものであり、この時、使用者は前後左右に身体が揺すられることに対してバランスを保つ動きを行うことになる。 By the way, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, an example in which the ridge 7 is arranged in the rising portion 11 is shown. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, as described above, the user sits on the seat 2, puts the left and right feet on the pair of left and right footrests 6 and 6, and holds the left and right handles 40, 40 with the left and right hands. As described above, not only can the upper body and upper limbs be exercised in conjunction with the exercise of the lower limbs, but as another exercise, the user sits on the seat 2 and puts his feet on the heel 7 If the seat 3 is swung by operating the drive unit 3 in this state, the movement simulating horse riding can be performed. At this time, the user is swung from front to back and left and right. On the other hand, it will move to keep balance.
　もちろん、上記乗馬を模した運動を行う際に、左右のハンドル４０、４０を手で掴んでもよく、この場合は、使用者の前後左右運動に連動してハンドル４０、４０を掴んだ手が前述の各実施形態のように前後方向あるいは上下方向に移動する運動ができることになる。 Of course, when performing the exercise simulating the above riding, the left and right handles 40, 40 may be grasped by hand. In this case, the hand holding the handles 40, 40 in conjunction with the front / rear / left / right movement of the user is described above. As in each of the embodiments, a movement that moves in the front-rear direction or the up-down direction can be performed.
　なお、本体１の立ち上がり部１１に配した鐙７は、ここではバー状のものを用いて、その左右両端に右足と左足とを乗せることができるようにしている。ただし、図１に示す鐙７は、シート２に座った使用者が足を前記足置き部６に置く際に邪魔にならない位置に退避させた状態にあり、該鐙７を使用する時は、鐙７を上方に移動させた状態とする。 In addition, the heel 7 arranged on the rising portion 11 of the main body 1 is a bar-shaped one here so that the right foot and the left foot can be put on the left and right ends thereof. However, the heel 7 shown in FIG. 1 is in a state in which the user sitting on the seat 2 has retracted his / her foot to a position that does not interfere with the footrest 6 and when using the heel 7, The state where the heel 7 is moved upward is assumed.
　図１３及び図１４に本体１の立ち上がり部１１に対する鐙７の取り付け構造を示す。立ち上がり部１１の左右両側面には水平溝１１０ａと斜め溝１１０ｂとが一端で交わる取付溝１１０を設けており、鐙７は左右一対のアーム７０，７０を備えるとともに各アーム７０の内側面に断面長方形状で且つ角を丸めた突部７１を設けている。この突部７１は上記取付溝１１０内をスライド自在となっているものであり、図１４（ｂ）に示すように突部７１を取付溝１１０の斜め溝１１０ｂ内に位置させれば、鐙７は上記退避状態となる。 FIG. 13 and FIG. 14 show the attachment structure of the flange 7 to the rising part 11 of the main body 1. A mounting groove 110 in which a horizontal groove 110a and an oblique groove 110b intersect at one end is provided on both the left and right side surfaces of the rising portion 11, and the flange 7 includes a pair of left and right arms 70 and 70 and a cross section on the inner surface of each arm 70. A protrusion 71 having a rectangular shape and rounded corners is provided. The protrusion 71 is slidable in the mounting groove 110. If the protrusion 71 is positioned in the oblique groove 110b of the mounting groove 110 as shown in FIG. Is in the retracted state.
　しかし、上記突部７１を斜め溝１１０ｂに沿って斜め上方に移動させた後、図１４（ａ）に示すように水平溝１１０ａ内に移動させれば、アーム７０がほぼ水平状態となって鐙７は高い位置に保持される。また、図示例では、水平溝１１０ａ内において突部７１を微小角度の範囲で上下に揺動させることができるようにしているとともに、水平溝１１０ａの前端位置に突部７１を位置させた時には、突部７１を弾性体７３で押し上げることで、上記鐙７の上下揺動に対して弾性体７３がばね負荷を加える。このために鐙７を足で踏み込む動作に対して弾性体７３による抵抗がかかるものとなっている。 However, if the protrusion 71 is moved obliquely upward along the oblique groove 110b and then moved into the horizontal groove 110a as shown in FIG. 14 (a), the arm 70 becomes almost horizontal. 7 is held in a high position. In the illustrated example, the protrusion 71 can be swung up and down within a small angle range in the horizontal groove 110a, and when the protrusion 71 is positioned at the front end position of the horizontal groove 110a, By pushing up the protrusion 71 with the elastic body 73, the elastic body 73 applies a spring load to the vertical swing of the flange 7. For this reason, resistance by the elastic body 73 is applied to the operation of stepping on the heel 7 with the foot.
　そして、本発明においては乗馬を模した運動を行う場合は、鐙７を高い位置に位置させて使用し、前述のように使用者がシート２に座り、左右の足を左右一対の足置き部６，６に載せるとともに左右の手で左右のハンドル４０，４０を把持して、下肢への運動付与に連動して上半身、上肢の運動を行う場合は、鐙７が邪魔にならないように低い位置に位置させて使用する。 In the present invention, when performing an exercise simulating horse riding, the heel 7 is used at a high position, the user sits on the seat 2 as described above, and the left and right feet are paired with a pair of left and right footrests. 6 and 6, while holding the left and right handles 40, 40 with the left and right hands and moving the upper body and upper limbs in conjunction with the movement of the lower limbs, the position is low so that the heel 7 does not get in the way Use it in the position.
　もちろん、鐙７の形態は上記の実施形態にのみ限定されるものではない。 Of course, the form of 鐙 7 is not limited to the above embodiment.
　また、本発明においては鐙７を設けないものであってもよい。 Further, in the present invention, the bag 7 may not be provided.
