Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a training apparatus that allows users, including elderly people and people with assistance, to easily adjust the load and quickly offer leg-muscle training in a desired state. The apparatus includes a seat mounted on a body, a training mechanism, a load-applying unit, and a tilt adjustment unit. The tilt adjustment unit allows the front of the seat to be tilted upward, making it easier for users to get on the seat. The load-applying unit applies a braking force to the training mechanism's movement, which can be adjusted electrically. This allows for quick and easy adjustment of the load. The training apparatus can be used for both leg extension and leg curl training. The training mechanism has the ability to exercise the user's legs actively or passively, making it suitable for different training needs."

Problems solved by technology

This is inconvenient for users, particularly, elderly persons or persons who require assistance.
This operation is time-consuming to cause difficulty in quickly responding to user's request.

Abstract

A training apparatus comprises a seat 32 mounted on an apparatus body, a training mechanism disposed in front of the seat 32 and provided with a mechanism adapted to exercise legs of a user, a load-applying unit adapted to apply a braking force to a movement of the training mechanism in an electrically adjustable manner, and a tilt adjustment unit adapted to tiltingly move a front end of the seat in a vertical direction. The training apparatus of the present invention allows a user, even an elderly person or a person who requires assistance to readily sit on the seat without an unnatural or forced physical posture.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a training apparatus for training leg muscles of a user in a sitting posture through bending and stretching exercises about legs to be performed while resisting a load imposed therefrom.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]Heretofore, there has been known a training apparatus (multi-exercise machine) as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 07-17325 (“Patent Publication 1”). This training apparatus comprising a seat mounted on a given frame in an angularly adjustable manner with respect to a horizontal plane, a V-shaped arm mounted to the frame at a position adjacent to a front edge of the seat in a swingable manner about an anchor end thereof, a pair of roller pads (foot-holding pad members) fixed to respective distal ends of the V-shaped arm to extend horizontally in parallel relation to each other, and a weight detachably attached, particularly, to a frontward on...
