Embodiment Construction

[0020] figure 1 is a cross-sectional view of the vibration device 100 , which generally includes two housings consisting of a tower member 181 and a base 183 . Preferably, the vibrating device 100 can be made of metals, metal alloys, combinations of high impact plastics, and any reasonable combination thereof in order to obtain low residual vibration and minimal metal fatigue.

[0021] The base 183 is generally depicted as having a base frame 187, feet 185, and rollers 189 to allow easy movement of the device, and a vibration platform 194, wherein at least one of the base frame 187, feet 185 is height adjustable.

[0022] Preferably, the vibrating platform 194 is sized and dimensioned to allow a person to stand on it such that the vibrating platform 194 has a measurement of 1 m 2 upper surface area. In an alternative embodiment for exercising, for example, the platform 194 for Pilates and yoga can have a measurement of 2m 2 upper surface area. Platform 194 preferably has a...

Abstract

A whole body vibration apparatus 100 has a motion inducing device 110 positioned other than under the vibrating platform 194 so that a vibrating platform 194 may be located close to the ground. Dual rocker shafts 178 journalled to reciprocate in a rotationally reciprocating motion, convert the linear motion of the rear-positioned motion inducing device 110 to vertical motion of the vibrating platform 194. A coupling mechanism constituted by a linkage 172, 174, 178 connects the motion inducing device 110 to the vibrating platform 194. The linkage employs deformable couplings 172, 174 and frictionless bearings to reduce unwanted rattle and wear and to remove the need for maintenance. A compensating device 140 adjusts for the weight of the user so that the motion inducing device 110 has all its useful output employed to vibrate the platform 194 as opposed to supporting the user's weight. In addition to altering frequency and amplitude, a method for user selection of different waveforms is provided to achieve a variety of treatment benefits.

Description

technical field [0001] The field of the invention relates to vibration devices for physiological stimulation of living organisms. Background technique [0002] It has long been recognized that vibration therapy and / or vibrational exercise are beneficial to the human body. For example, numerous publications and patents disclose many uses for exercise; speed and endurance training; promoting bone growth; treating fractures, osteoporosis and other tissue conditions, postural instability; treating other conditions such as cystic fibrosis, Parkinson's disease , arthritis and multiple sclerosis methods and / or vibration devices. [0003] Typically, such vibration devices include: a base frame with a rigid platform configured to support a user; and include a vibration inducing mechanism connected to the platform; for example in U.S. Patent No. 5,376,065 (issued to Mcleod, December 1994), U.S. Patent No. 6,234,975 (to Mcleod, May 2001), U.S. Patent No. 6,843,776 (to Trandafir, Janu...
