Balance board

Abstract

This product relates to a balance board used for fitness, balance training, or as a children's toy. The product consists of a board body that is rectangular in plan view and curved in front view, and two protective lines attached to the bottom of the board body. There are various ways to use this product, one of which is shown in Reference Perspective Diagram 1. In Reference Perspective Diagram 1, with the curved surface of the product in contact with the floor, the user places the soles of both feet near both ends of the top surface of the board body and shifts their weight between their feet to swing the product on the floor and maintain balance, thereby developing a sense of balance. As shown in Reference Perspective Diagram 2, through-holes are provided near the left and right ends of the board body, and the user of this product can put their fingers through these through-holes and grasp the edges of the holes. For example, as shown in Reference Perspective Diagram 2, the user can crouch on the product and grasp the edges of the holes with their fingers, thereby applying force to the left and right ends of the board while crouching, allowing them to rock the board and train their sense of balance while crouching. Furthermore, by grasping the edges of the holes, the user can use them as handles for the product, making it easy to turn the product over or carry it. Also, as shown in Reference Perspective Diagram 3, by threading a string-like member through the holes and tying it to the edges, even small users, such as children, can apply force to both the left and right ends of the board by holding the string-like member. Therefore, even small users can safely maintain their balance on the product. The protective lines attached to the bottom of the board are made of an elastic material such as silicone or rubber. The protective lines prevent damage to the floor and the bottom of the item when it is used in a rocking motion on the floor of a house, and also reduce the noise generated. The two protective lines are spaced apart from each other, allowing the user to see the bottom of the item. The bottom of the item may have patterns such as figures, letters, or pictures, and the spacing between the two protective lines allows the user to appreciate the patterns on the bottom.Furthermore, since the bottom surface is protected by a protective line, even if delicate patterns are applied to the bottom surface through printing or surface decoration, there is little risk of these delicate patterns being worn away during use of the product, thus allowing for greater freedom in the designs that can be drawn on the bottom surface.
