Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to exercise devices. More specifically, the present invention is an abdominal exercise device that is used to rock or tilt, as well as resist a user's movement in order to strengthen core muscles.
- Exercising core muscles is a common way to stay physically fit. Specific exercises that target core muscles, including sit-ups, crunches, and planks can be useful for strengthening abdominal muscles but can also lead to injuries. Further, performing such exercises on hard surfaces can prove to be uncomfortable. Existing workout devices or machines typically move in one direction. This limits what exercises a user can perform. Further, repeatedly performing the same exercises can lead to decreased results when compared to varying exercise routines.
- the present invention is an abdominal exercise device that supports users while rocking or tilting on the present invention in order to strengthen core muscles.
- the present invention uses a hinged frame that bends with the user to provide stability throughout the user's full range of motion. Further, the present invention resists the movements of the user in order to enhance the strengthening of core muscles.
- FIG. 1 is a top perspective view of the present invention with the hinged frame unfolded.
- FIG. 2 is a top perspective view of the present invention with the hinged frame folded.
- FIG. 3 is a bottom perspective view of the present invention with the hinged frame unfolded.
- FIG. 4 is a front view of the present invention with the hinged frame unfolded.
- FIG. 5 is a front view of the present invention with the hinged frame folded.
- FIG. 6 is a top view of the present invention.
- FIG. 7 is a top perspective view of the present invention wherein the rounded fulcrum is a ball.
- FIG. 8 is a top perspective view of the present invention with the second embodiment of the rocking base, wherein the second embodiment of the rocking base comprises a first rocker and a second rocker.
- FIG. 9 is a front view of the present invention with the second embodiment of the rocking base.
- the present invention is an abdominal exercise device used to strengthen a user's core muscles.
- the present invention comprises a hinged frame 1, a first plurality of rolling supports 4, a second plurality of rolling supports 6, a rocking base 10, and a frame-grasping assembly 17.
- the hinged frame 1 is used to support the weight of the user during exercise. Further, the hinged frame 1 is designed to fold during exercise in order to move as the user moves.
- the hinged frame 1 comprises a base beam 2 and a pivoting beam 3. During exercise, the user lays along the hinged frame 1 and is supported by the first plurality of rolling supports 4 and the second plurality of rolling supports 6.
- the base beam 2 is primarily used for supporting the user's lower back, while the pivoting beam 3 is used to support the user's mid and upper back.
- the pivoting beam 3 is hingedly and adjacently connected to the base beam 2. This arrangement between the base beam 2 and the pivoting beam 3 allows the hinged frame 1 to bend as the user performs crunches or similar exercises while using the present invention.
- the frame-grasping assembly 17 is adjacently mounted to the pivoting beam 3, opposite to the base beam 2.
- the frame-grasping assembly 17 provides a means by which the user can hold onto the present invention while exercising. This helps to ensure that the hinged frame 1 moves with the user and constantly provides support for the user.
- the first plurality of rolling supports 4 and the second plurality of rolling supports 6 are both used to evenly distribute the weight of the user along the hinged frame 1.
- the first plurality of rolling supports 4 is laterally mounted to the hinged frame 1.
- the second plurality of rolling supports 6 is also laterally mounted to the hinged frame 1 but is positioned opposite to the first plurality of rolling supports 4.

- the present invention further comprises a first handle 23 and a second handle 24.
- first handle 23 and the second handle 24 are used to help the user maneuver the hinged frame 1 and maintain balance during exercises.
- first handle 23 and the second handle 24 may either be made from a heavy material or filled with a weights. This is done to make the present invention naturally unbalanced in a manner that the first handle 23 and the second handle 24 will rotate towards the ground when the user dismounts from the present invention.
- he base beam 2 comprises a base-supporting beam 27 and a base-adjusting beam 28.
- the base-adjusting beam 28 is telescopically mounted into the base-supporting beam 27 such that the length of the base beam 2 may be increased or decreased.
- This arrangement allows the present invention to be adjusted to support users of varying heights.
- the first end support 5 and the second end support 7 are laterally connected to the base- adjusting beam 28.
- each rolling support from the first plurality of rolling supports 4 and from the second plurality of rolling supports 6 comprises an arm 8 and a cushioned roller 9.
- the arm 8 is laterally connected to the hinged frame 1 and is used to support a portion of the user's back.
- the cushioned roller 9 is rotatably mounted about the arm 8.
- the cushioned roller 9 is used to distribute weight evenly onto the arm 8.
- the cushioned roller 9 has a greater surface area than the arm 8 so that the user does not experience pressure at any point on their back.
- the present invention further comprises an elastic movement resistor 25.
- the elastic movement resistor 25 is used to resist folding motions of the hinged frame 1. As a result, the user is required to exert a greater force to perform an exercise.
- the elastic movement resistor 25 is attached in between the pivoting beam 3 and the rocking base 10. As the pivoting beam 3 is folded, the elastic movement resistor 25 is stretched in between the pivoting beam 3 and the rocking base 10.
- the elastic movement resistor 25 is a tension spring.
- the elastic movement resistor 25 may be an elastic band.
- the present invention may be equipped with one or more elastic movement resistors 25 so that one or more elastic movement resistor 25 may be interchanged or used together to achieve varying resistances.
- the rocking base 10 comprises a spacer 11 and a rounded fulcrum 12.
- the spacer 11 is laterally mounted to the base beam 2 and is used to distance the rounded fulcrum 12 from the base beam 2. This is necessary in order to prevent the hinged frame 1 from contacting the ground while the user is performing an exercise.
- the spacer 11 is positioned in between the first plurality of rolling supports 4 and the second plurality of rolling supports 6.
- the rounded fulcrum 12 is mounted adjacent to the spacer 11, opposite to the hinged frame 1.
- the rounded fulcrum 12 is placed against the ground and is used as a point about which the present invention can pivot. By moving about the rounded fulcrum 12, the user is able to stretch or workout various muscles in the body.
- the rounded fulcrum 12 is a hemispherical ball which is connected adjacent to the spacer 11. This is shown in FIG. 4.
- the hemispherical ball design allows for 360° rotations along with rocking or tilting motions. As a result, a wide range of exercises may be performed.
- the rounded fulcrum 12 is a spherical ball. Similar to the hemispherical ball, the spherical ball allows for a wide range of exercises. In this embodiment; however, the rounded fulcrum 12 is removably attached to the spacer 11.
- the spacer 11 may be dimensioned to fit over an existing ball such as an exercise ball.
- the rocking base 10 comprises a first rocker 13, a second rocker 14, a bridge 15, and a swiveling mechanism 16.
- the first rocker 13 is connected adjacent to the bridge 15.
- the second rocker 14 is connected adjacent to the bridge 15, laterally opposite to the first rocker 13.
- the first rocker 13 and the second rocker 14 allow the present invention to rock in a single direction. Because the present invention is only able to rock in a single direction, the user may more easily control their positioning on the present invention.
- the bridge 15 is attached to the base beam 2 through the swiveling mechanism 16. The bridge 15 is used to support the first rocker 13 and the second rocker 14.
- the swiveling mechanism 16 is used to rotate the rocking base 10 relative to the hinged frame 1. This allows the user to adjust the angle in which the present invention rocks. The user may swap from a front-to-back rocking motion to a side-to-side rocking motion.
- the present invention further comprises a vibrating device 26.
- the vibrating device 26 is laterally attached to the pivoting beam 3 and is used to stimulate blood flow in the user's body and may also be used to massage muscles.
- the vibrating device 26 is positioned adjacent to the base beam 2. The positioning of the vibrating device 26 allows the vibrating device 26 to affect the user's entire back.
