As shown in Patent Document 1, such an exercise device includes an exercise device such as a treadmill, a chamber that covers the exercise device and has an opening that allows a user to enter and exit, and a user and an opening of the chamber. And a seal member that is hermetically sealed in the chamber and a pressure adjusting device that adjusts the pressure in the chamber. The user enters the chamber through the opening, and seals the inside of the chamber by attaching a seal member attached to the opening of the chamber to the waist, and then makes the inside of the chamber high pressure. As a result, the lower body part of the user is pressurized and the body weight is released. As a result, the muscle strength can be strengthened by applying soft training without imposing a burden on the muscle strength or joints.

As the sheet, a transparent sheet or an opaque sheet can be used. Moreover, when using an opaque sheet | seat, it is preferable to provide the transparent window 11 formed with the transparent sheet in a part of front and rear, right and left. Thereby, the trainer can grasp the training state of the user 40 from the outside.
　チャンバ１０の上端部には、使用者４０の下半身部が出入可能な大きさの円形状の開口部１２が形成されている。図４及び図５に示すように、この開口部１２の内周端には、後述するスカート２２に取り付けられるチューブ２３が係合可能な所定の幅を有した係合リング１３が取り付けられている。この係合リング１３は、内径が開口部１２より小さく、かつ、外径が開口部１２より大きいサイズで形成されている。また、係合リング１３は、シール部材２０と密接してチャンバ１０を気密に閉じることができるように、剛性の高い材料で形成されている。係合リング１３の内周端には、下方よりに、後述するスカート２２を保護する断面略円形状の保護リング１４が取り付けられており、係合リング１３の外周側には、チャンバ１０の内部に突出する環状のストッパー１５が全周にわたって取り付けられている。 At the upper end of the chamber 10, a circular opening 12 having a size that allows the lower body of the user 40 to enter and exit is formed. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, an engagement ring 13 having a predetermined width with which a tube 23 attached to a skirt 22 described later can be engaged is attached to the inner peripheral end of the opening 12. . The engagement ring 13 has an inner diameter smaller than the opening 12 and an outer diameter larger than the opening 12. Further, the engagement ring 13 is made of a material having high rigidity so that the chamber 10 can be closed in an airtight manner in close contact with the seal member 20. A protective ring 14 having a substantially circular cross section for protecting a skirt 22 described later is attached to the inner peripheral end of the engagement ring 13 from below, and the inner periphery of the chamber 10 is disposed on the outer peripheral side of the engagement ring 13. An annular stopper 15 is attached to the entire circumference.
　また、チャンバ１０の開口部１２の左右両側には、図２に示すように、チャンバ１０を上下に伸縮させるための一対のレバー１６，１６が取り付けられている。各レバー１６は、台座３の左右両側部に取り付けられた一対のスライドバー６，６に上下動可能に支持されており、スライドバー６，６に沿って上下に移動し、任意の高さでスライドバー６，６上に保持される。これにより、使用者４０の身長にかかわらず、使用者４０の腰部あたりにチャンバ１０の上端を位置させることができる。また、使用者４０が運動装置１を使用する際には、図３に示すように、レバー１６，１６をスライドバー６，６の下端付近まで下げてチャンバ１０を下方に圧縮することができ、これにより、使用者４０は、容易に開口部１２を介してチャンバ１０内に入ることができる。 Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a pair of levers 16 and 16 for expanding and contracting the chamber 10 up and down are attached to the left and right sides of the opening 12 of the chamber 10. Each lever 16 is supported by a pair of slide bars 6 and 6 attached to the left and right sides of the pedestal 3 so as to move up and down, and moves up and down along the slide bars 6 and 6 at an arbitrary height. It is held on slide bars 6 and 6. Thereby, regardless of the height of the user 40, the upper end of the chamber 10 can be positioned around the waist of the user 40. Further, when the user 40 uses the exercise device 1, the chamber 10 can be compressed downward by lowering the levers 16 and 16 to near the lower ends of the slide bars 6 and 6, as shown in FIG. As a result, the user 40 can easily enter the chamber 10 through the opening 12.
　次に、図４及び図５を参照して、シール部材２０について説明する。シール部材２０は、運動装置１の使用に際して、予め使用者４０に装着されるものであり、パンツ２１、パンツ２１と一体に設けられるスカート２２、及び、スカート２２の外周端に取り付けられるチューブ２３から形成されている。パンツ２１には、伸縮性や弾性に優れた素材が使用されている。装着時のフィット感を高めるためには、ウエットスーツ等に用いられるクロロプレンゴム等の合成ゴムからなる素材が使用されるのが好ましい。 Next, the seal member 20 will be described with reference to FIGS. The seal member 20 is attached to the user 40 in advance when the exercise apparatus 1 is used, and includes a pant 21, a skirt 22 provided integrally with the pant 21, and a tube 23 attached to the outer peripheral end of the skirt 22. Is formed. A material excellent in stretchability and elasticity is used for the pants 21. In order to enhance the fit at the time of wearing, it is preferable to use a material made of a synthetic rubber such as chloroprene rubber used in a wet suit or the like.
　スカート２２は、パンツ２１の腰部の周りにパンツ２１と一体に設けられている。スカート２２は、係合リング１３の内径より大きく、かつ、ストッパー１５の取り付け位置よりも小さいサイズのドーナツ状で形成されており、中央の開口から使用者４０の脚を挿入してパンツ２１を穿くことで装着可能である。スカート２２には、気密性のある素材が使用されており、生地を４重に重ねて形成されている。後述するように、運動装置１を使用する際にチャンバ１０内を高圧にするが、生地を４重に重ねて形成しているため、チャンバ１０内が高圧となってもスカート２２が膨らむことが抑えられ、その結果、スカート２２の膨らみにより、スカート２２が係合リング１３から抜け出ることが防止されている。また、チューブ２３は、ポリウレタン等の弾性のある素材で形成される環状のものであり、スカート２２の下面の外周端に全周にわたって取り付けられている。 The skirt 22 is provided integrally with the pants 21 around the waist of the pants 21. The skirt 22 is formed in a donut shape that is larger than the inner diameter of the engagement ring 13 and smaller than the attachment position of the stopper 15, and inserts the leg of the user 40 through the center opening to wear the pants 21. Can be installed. The skirt 22 is made of an airtight material, and is formed by layering the fabrics four times. As will be described later, when the exercise apparatus 1 is used, the inside of the chamber 10 is set to a high pressure. However, since the dough is formed by overlapping four layers, the skirt 22 may swell even if the inside of the chamber 10 becomes high pressure. As a result, the skirt 22 is prevented from coming out of the engagement ring 13 due to the swelling of the skirt 22. The tube 23 is a ring-shaped member made of an elastic material such as polyurethane, and is attached to the outer peripheral end of the lower surface of the skirt 22 over the entire periphery.
　再度、図１を参照すると、チャンバ１０には、前方に送風口１７、後方に排気口１８が備えられており、送風口１７には、圧力調整装置３０が取り付けられている。圧力調整装置３０には、例えば、ブロア等の送風機が使用できる。圧力調整装置３０を使用し、チャンバ１０の外側の空気を吸気して、送風口１７からチャンバ１０内に送り込むことによって、チャンバ１０内の圧力が高められる。また、チャンバ１０内の圧力を下げる場合は、排気口１８を使用し、排気口１８からチャンバ１０内の空気を排気することで、チャンバ１０内の圧力が下げられる。これにより、チャンバ１０内の圧力を調整する。 Referring to FIG. 1 again, the chamber 10 is provided with a blower port 17 at the front and an exhaust port 18 at the rear, and a pressure adjusting device 30 is attached to the blower port 17. For the pressure adjusting device 30, for example, a blower such as a blower can be used. The pressure inside the chamber 10 is increased by using the pressure adjusting device 30 to suck in air outside the chamber 10 and send it into the chamber 10 through the blower port 17. When the pressure in the chamber 10 is lowered, the pressure in the chamber 10 is lowered by using the exhaust port 18 and exhausting the air in the chamber 10 from the exhaust port 18. Thereby, the pressure in the chamber 10 is adjusted.
　また、チャンバ１０内には、特に運動器具２の前方に設けられるカバー内に、送風機３１が配置されている。この送風機３１は、チャンバ１０内の空気を吸気し、使用者４０に対して前方から風を当てることができる。その風は、チャンバ１０の後方に設けられている排気口１８から排気され、これにより、チャンバ１０内を循環する空気の流れが発生する。運動装置１によるトレーニングの際には、チャンバ１０内がシール部材２０により気密にされているため、使用者４０の走行等の運動に伴う発汗によりチャンバ１０内の湿度が上昇し、チャンバ１０内が蒸れることがしばしばある。しかしながら、チャンバ１０に送風機３１を設け、チャンバ１０内の空気を循環させるとともに、排気口１８からチャンバ１０内の湿気を排出することにより、チャンバ１０内の湿度の上昇及び蒸れによる不快感を解消することができる。また、送風機３１からの風は、使用者４０の脚部に直接当るため、使用者４０の下半身部、特に脚部を冷却することができる。 In the chamber 10, a blower 31 is disposed particularly in a cover provided in front of the exercise equipment 2. The blower 31 sucks air in the chamber 10 and can apply wind to the user 40 from the front. The wind is exhausted from an exhaust port 18 provided at the rear of the chamber 10, whereby an air flow circulating in the chamber 10 is generated. During training by the exercise device 1, the inside of the chamber 10 is hermetically sealed by the seal member 20, so that the humidity in the chamber 10 rises due to perspiration associated with exercise such as running of the user 40, and the inside of the chamber 10 is increased. Often gets muddy. However, the air blower 31 is provided in the chamber 10 to circulate the air in the chamber 10, and the moisture in the chamber 10 is discharged from the exhaust port 18, thereby eliminating the unpleasant sensation due to the increase in humidity in the chamber 10 and stuffiness. be able to. Moreover, since the wind from the air blower 31 directly hits the leg part of the user 40, the lower body part of the user 40, especially the leg part can be cooled.
　次に、運動装置１の使用方法について説明する。まず、使用者４０は、スカート２２の中央開口から両脚を挿入してパンツ２１を穿くことで、スカート２２を使用者４０の腰部に位置させる。そして、図３に示すように、レバー１６を下げ、チャンバ１０の上端を台座３付近まで下げる。その後、使用者４０は開口部１２を介してチャンバ１０内に入り、レバー１６を上昇させてチャンバ１０の上端を腰部まで上げて固定する。その状態で、使用者４０はチューブ２３を撓めて縮径させることで、開口部１２を通過させてチャンバ１０内にスカート２２を入れる。このとき、チューブ２３の弾性による復元力によりスカート２２がチャンバ１０内に広げられる。係合リング１３にはストッパー１５が設けられているため、チューブ２３はストッパー１５に当る位置に留められて、ストッパー１５の内方でスカート２２が位置決めされる。そして、スカート２２の外径は係合リング１３の内径より大きいため、スカート２２の下面の外周端に取り付けられたチューブ２３が係合リング１３と係合することで、スカート２２の外周端が係合リング１３と密接する。これにより、スカート２２が開口部１２を覆う所定の位置に保持され、スカート２２が一方へ偏ることにより、スカート２２が係合リング１３から抜け出ることが防止されている。 Next, a method of using the exercise device 1 will be described. First, the user 40 inserts both legs from the central opening of the skirt 22 and wears the pants 21 to position the skirt 22 on the waist of the user 40. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the lever 16 is lowered and the upper end of the chamber 10 is lowered to the vicinity of the base 3. Thereafter, the user 40 enters the chamber 10 through the opening 12 and raises the lever 16 to raise and fix the upper end of the chamber 10 to the waist. In this state, the user 40 deflects the tube 23 to reduce the diameter, thereby passing the opening 12 and putting the skirt 22 into the chamber 10. At this time, the skirt 22 is expanded in the chamber 10 by the restoring force due to the elasticity of the tube 23. Since the engaging ring 13 is provided with the stopper 15, the tube 23 is held at a position where it comes into contact with the stopper 15, and the skirt 22 is positioned inside the stopper 15. Since the outer diameter of the skirt 22 is larger than the inner diameter of the engagement ring 13, the tube 23 attached to the outer peripheral end of the lower surface of the skirt 22 is engaged with the engagement ring 13, so that the outer peripheral end of the skirt 22 is engaged. It is in close contact with the mating ring 13. As a result, the skirt 22 is held at a predetermined position covering the opening 12, and the skirt 22 is prevented from coming out of the engagement ring 13 due to the skirt 22 being biased to one side.
　その後、使用者４０は、手元の操作パネル（図示せず）を操作して、圧力調整装置３０を作動させ、チャンバ１０内の圧力を高める。チャンバ１０内の圧力が高まると、図５の矢印Ｂに示すように、スカート２２に内圧が掛かってスカート２２が膨らみ、係合リング１３に押し付けられると同時に、スカート２２は、保護リング１４とぴったりとくっつき、これにより、スカート２２と係合リング１３及び保護リング１４とが密接して、開口部１２が気密に閉じられる。このとき、係合リング１３の内周端に取り付けられた保護リング１４により、係合リング１３の内周端がスカート２２の生地に接触してスカート２２が傷つくことが防止されている。 Thereafter, the user 40 operates the operation panel (not shown) at hand to activate the pressure adjusting device 30 to increase the pressure in the chamber 10. When the pressure in the chamber 10 increases, as shown by the arrow B in FIG. 5, the skirt 22 is inflated by being pressed against the engagement ring 13 at the same time as the skirt 22 is pressed against the engagement ring 13. As a result, the skirt 22 and the engagement ring 13 and the protection ring 14 are brought into close contact with each other, and the opening 12 is hermetically closed. At this time, the protective ring 14 attached to the inner peripheral end of the engagement ring 13 prevents the inner peripheral end of the engagement ring 13 from coming into contact with the fabric of the skirt 22 and damaging the skirt 22.
　以上のように、本発明では、チャンバ１０とシール部材２０とを別個に設けているため、使用者４０は、チャンバ１０内に入る前に予めシール部材２０を腰部に位置させることが可能であり、シール部材２０を容易に着脱することができる。また、先にシール部材２０を使用者４０の腰部に位置させた状態で、使用者４０はチャンバ１０内に入るため、使用者４０はチャンバ１０への出入が容易になる。加えて、チャンバ１０内を加圧することでスカート２２に内圧がかかり、自動的にスカート２２と係合リング１３及び保護リング１４とが密接する。そして、使用者４０が激しい運動を行って、シール部材２０が使用者４０と共に動いたとしても、内圧によりスカート２２と係合リング１３及び保護リング１４との密着性は保たれるため、チャンバ１０内の開口部１２の十分な気密性を保つことができる。さらに、チャンバ１０とシール部材２０とが別部材であるため、使用者４０にチャンバ１０がまとわり付くことなく、使用者４０は運動を行いやすい。 As described above, in the present invention, since the chamber 10 and the seal member 20 are separately provided, the user 40 can place the seal member 20 in the waist before entering the chamber 10. The seal member 20 can be easily attached and detached. In addition, since the user 40 enters the chamber 10 with the seal member 20 positioned on the waist of the user 40 first, the user 40 can easily enter and exit the chamber 10. In addition, by pressurizing the inside of the chamber 10, an internal pressure is applied to the skirt 22, and the skirt 22 is automatically brought into close contact with the engagement ring 13 and the protection ring 14. Even if the user 40 performs intense exercise and the seal member 20 moves together with the user 40, the adhesion between the skirt 22, the engagement ring 13, and the protection ring 14 is maintained by the internal pressure. Sufficient airtightness of the inner opening 12 can be maintained. Furthermore, since the chamber 10 and the seal member 20 are separate members, the user 40 can easily exercise without clinging the chamber 10 to the user 40.
　また、チャンバ１０内に送風機３１を設け、チャンバ１０に排気口１８を設けることで、チャンバ１０内の空気を循環させるとともに、チャンバ１０内の湿気を排出することができる。これにより、トレーニングを行う使用者４０の発汗によりチャンバ１０内が蒸れたとしても、それによる不快感を除去することができる。 Further, by providing the blower 31 in the chamber 10 and providing the exhaust port 18 in the chamber 10, the air in the chamber 10 can be circulated and the humidity in the chamber 10 can be discharged. Thereby, even if the inside of the chamber 10 is steamed due to sweating of the user 40 who performs training, discomfort caused by the sweat can be removed.
　以上、本発明の一実施形態について説明したが、本発明はこの実施形態に限定されるものではなく、その趣旨を逸脱しない限りにおいて、種々の変更が可能である。例えば、上記実施形態では、開口部１２及びスカート２２の形状を、円形状としているが、開口部１２及びスカート２２の形状は、円形状に限られず、楕円形状、矩形状、多角形状等の種々の形状とすることができる。このとき、係合リング１３は、開口部１２と相似の形状に形成され、保護リング１４及びストッパー１５、並びに、チューブ２３は、それぞれ係合リング１３及びスカート２２の形状に沿うように全周にわたって設けられる。また、必ずしも開口部１２とスカート２２とは相似形状である必要もなく、スカート２２が開口部１２の内周端に取り付けられる係合リング１３と密接できるように形成され、十分な気密性を保てるものであればよい。 Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the shape of the opening 12 and the skirt 22 is circular, but the shape of the opening 12 and skirt 22 is not limited to the circular shape, and various shapes such as an elliptical shape, a rectangular shape, a polygonal shape, and the like. It can be made into the shape. At this time, the engagement ring 13 is formed in a shape similar to the opening 12, and the protection ring 14, the stopper 15, and the tube 23 extend over the entire circumference so as to follow the shapes of the engagement ring 13 and the skirt 22, respectively. Provided. Further, the opening 12 and the skirt 22 do not necessarily have a similar shape, and the skirt 22 is formed so as to be in close contact with the engagement ring 13 attached to the inner peripheral end of the opening 12 so that sufficient airtightness can be maintained. Anything is acceptable.
　さらに、上記実施形態では、係合リング１３の内周端に保護リング１４を設けているが、スカート２２と係合リング１３とで開口部１２の気密性が十分に保たれ、かつ、スカート２２が係合リング１３により傷つけられる恐れがない場合には、特に保護リング１４を設ける必要はない。また、係合リング１３の内周端を剛性の低い材料で覆うことで、スカート２２を保護することもできる。 Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the protective ring 14 is provided at the inner peripheral end of the engagement ring 13, but the airtightness of the opening 12 is sufficiently maintained by the skirt 22 and the engagement ring 13, and the skirt 22 Is not required to be damaged by the engagement ring 13, it is not necessary to provide the protection ring 14. Further, the skirt 22 can be protected by covering the inner peripheral end of the engagement ring 13 with a material having low rigidity.
　また、ストッパー１５は必ずしも係合リング１３の全周にわたって設けられる必要はなく、係合リング１３の周方向の一部分にのみ設けてもよい。 Further, the stopper 15 is not necessarily provided over the entire circumference of the engagement ring 13, and may be provided only in a part of the engagement ring 13 in the circumferential direction.
　また、上記実施形態では、スカート２２にパンツ２１を一体に設けているが、スカート２２の内周端にゴム等を取り付け、ゴム等により使用者４０の腰部に保持できるようにスカート２２を形成すれば、特にパンツ２１を設ける必要はない。 In the above embodiment, the pants 21 are integrally provided on the skirt 22, but rubber or the like is attached to the inner peripheral end of the skirt 22, and the skirt 22 is formed so that it can be held on the waist of the user 40 by rubber or the like. In particular, it is not necessary to provide the pants 21.
　さらに、上記実施形態では、スカート２２の生地を４重に重ねているが、２重又は３重に重ねた場合であっても十分にスカート２２の膨らみを抑えることが可能であれば、あえて４重に重ねる必要はないし、４重に重ねても十分にスカート２２の膨らみを抑えることができない場合には、５重以上に重ねることも可能である。 Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the fabrics of the skirt 22 are stacked four times. However, even if the skirts 22 are stacked two or three times, if the swelling of the skirts 22 can be sufficiently suppressed, the skirt 22 4 is dared. It is not necessary to overlap the layers, and if the expansion of the skirt 22 cannot be sufficiently suppressed even when the layers are overlapped, it is possible to overlap the layers more than five.
　また、上記実施形態では、チャンバ１０を上下に伸縮させるために、一対のレバー１６，１６をチャンバ１０の開口部１２の左右両側に設けたが、例えば、チャンバ１０の開口部１２の前方又は後方に、一本の棒状のレバーを設けても良い。このレバーの左右両端は、一対のスライドバー６，６に、それぞれ上下可能に支持されている。このようにレバーを設けることで、チャンバ１０の伸縮に際して左右のレバー１６，１６を同時に操作する必要はなく、一本のレバーを操作するだけで、容易にチャンバ１０を伸縮させることができる。 In the above-described embodiment, the pair of levers 16 and 16 are provided on the left and right sides of the opening 12 of the chamber 10 in order to expand and contract the chamber 10 up and down. In addition, a single bar-shaped lever may be provided. The left and right ends of the lever are supported by a pair of slide bars 6 and 6 so as to be vertically movable. By providing the lever in this way, it is not necessary to operate the left and right levers 16 and 16 simultaneously when the chamber 10 is expanded and contracted, and the chamber 10 can be easily expanded and contracted by operating only one lever.
　また、上記実施形態では、外部に設けた圧力調整装置３０により、チャンバ１０内の圧力を調整し、送風機３１により、チャンバ１０内の空気を循環させているが、必ずしも、図１の実施形態には限られない。例えば、圧力調整装置３０を、台座３の内部に設け、台座３の側面から外気を吸気し、台座３の上面からチャンバ１０内に空気を挿入してもよい。これにより、運動装置１をよりコンパクトにすることができる。さらに、送風機３１は、必ずしも設ける必要はなく、圧力調整装置３０が送風機３１の機能を兼ね備えても良い。 Moreover, in the said embodiment, the pressure in the chamber 10 is adjusted with the pressure adjustment apparatus 30 provided outside, and the air in the chamber 10 is circulated with the air blower 31, but it does not necessarily follow embodiment of FIG. Is not limited. For example, the pressure adjusting device 30 may be provided inside the pedestal 3, outside air may be sucked from the side surface of the pedestal 3, and air may be inserted into the chamber 10 from the upper surface of the pedestal 3. Thereby, the exercise device 1 can be made more compact. Further, the blower 31 is not necessarily provided, and the pressure adjusting device 30 may have the function of the blower 31.
