Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an unstable platform that requires energy input from a user to either rock the platform or to keep the platform parallel to a surface.
  • Unstable platforms such as wobble boards and rocker boards are well known in the art. They generally consist of a platform with a pivoting mechanism underneath. A user is expected to stand on the platform and attempt to keep his or her balance.
  • the pivoting mechanisms generally consist of either a hemispherical protrusion, in the case of a wobble board, or a cylindrical roller in the case of a rocker board.
  • Lu disclosed a representative wobble board in U.S. Pat. No. 7,264,580 B2.
  • a representative rocker board is disclosed by Wischusen in U.S. Pat. No. 7,134,990.
  • rocking footrests such as the Fellowes Compact Foot Rocker. These are generally small enough to fit under a desk and rock in order to increase blood flow to the lower body while seated. As with proprioception boards, current rocking footrest designs only move forward and back, and not side to side. These rocking footrests activate the same muscles as the proprioception boards, namely, the small muscles around the ankle and calf.
  • Non-exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT), as described by J. A. Levine (Levine, J.A. 2004. Non-exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT): Environment and Biology. Am J. Physiol. Endocrinol. Metab. 286: E675-E685) shows significant health advantages to users that can burn calories throughout the day. As many people spend a significant amount of time sitting at a desk, the ability to burn calories at a desk is appealing. One such method is to use a rolling footrest such as WEBBLETM by BriteObjects. However, the rolling motion may require significant space under a desk to be effective, and may distract the user from his/her work.
  • a rocking footrest with increased freedom of motion could also be useful in schools. Some students have limited abilities to concentrate, and it is believed that a moving footrest can be an outlet for excess energy.
  • Desks with moving footrests such as the AlphaBetter Desk by Satco, are known in the art. However they would require schools to replace currently installed capital (desks) at relatively high costs.
  • a rocking footrest with increased freedom of motion that is independent of and fits underneath the currently installed desk overcomes this disadvantage.
  • the footrest comprised of an unstable platform as disclosed herein overcomes the deficiencies of known art.
  • a rocking footrest of this invention is capable of rocking side to side in addition to forward and backward.
  • the increased freedom of motion also burns more calories because it activates larger muscles of the thigh rather than the smaller muscles used by proprioception boards. Therefore, the current invention represents a significant improvement over prior art.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide a platform that enables exercise of muscles, including larger thigh muscles while seated.
  • Yet another object of this invention is to provide a platform having improved freedom of motion.
  • a further object of this invention is to provide a platform that allows the user to choose between at least two different movement ranges without a need for any accessories or tools.
  • Still another object of this invention is to provide a quietly operating platform.
  • an unstable platform comprising a substantially planar member having a first face and a second face; a first pivoting member being attached on the first face, said first pivoting member having a first summit point; a second pivoting member being attached on the second face, said second pivoting member having a second summit point; wherein a distance between the first face and the first summit point is different than a distance between the second face and the second summit point, whereby a user can choose a different level of movement of the planar member by setting the first summit point against the surface or setting the second summit point against the surface; and wherein said first and said second faces are sized to accept a user' s feet, hands or other body parts, whereby the platform can be manipulated or rocked in at least one of the directions selected from side to side and forward and backward.
  • the user chooses the height of the platform and the level of its movement by setting one of the pivoting members against the surface.
  • the user is then seated with the platform in front of him or her, and the user's feet are on the upper face of the platform on both sides of the pivoting member that is not against the surface.
  • Other embodiments include the user standing, or having the user's hands or other parts of the body on the platform.
  • Other embodiments include the user's feet, hands, or other parts of the body on the upper face of the platform on one side of the pivoting member that is not against the surface. From the seated position, the force that the user supplies to the platform may not be perpendicular to the surface.

Abstract

L'invention porte sur une plateforme, qui comprend un élément plan ayant une face supérieure et une face inférieure et au moins un élément pivotant approximativement au centre de ladite face supérieure ou de ladite face inférieure, de sorte que, lorsqu'un élément pivotant est placé sur une surface, une distance dépendant de la forme de l'élément pivotant soit créée entre l'élément plan et la surface, et la plateforme est instable. Par conséquent, la plateforme instable encourage un utilisateur à dépenser de l'énergie, et est rapidement réglable en hauteur par le choix de l'élément pivotant qui est placé sur la surface.
