Benefits of technology

[0043] According to this invention, it becomes possible to automatically and stably and also uniformly effect muscle exercise and stretch exercise extending over a whole human body and exercise for increasing sense of balance.

Problems solved by technology

Consequently, exercising other parts such as for example thigh muscle and abdominal muscle with it has been difficult.

first embodiment

[0072]FIG. 1 through FIG. 7 show the invention.

[0073] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a balance fitness machine of this embodiment has a platform 1 on which a user H stands in an upright posture. Below this platform 1, there is provided a rocking mechanism 2 for rocking the platform 1 in the left-right direction or the front-rear direction or the up-down direction. This rocking mechanism 2 is driven by driving means 3 shown in FIG. 3. The rocking mechanism 2 and the driving means 3 are disposed on a machine bed 4.

[0074] Normally, the rocking mechanism 2 and the driving means 3 are covered by a cover 11, as shown in FIG. 1.

[0075] As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the machine bed 4 has a pair of base plates 5, 5 extending in the front-rear direction, and a substantially rectangular machine plate 6 that connects the pair of the base plates 5, 5 at intermediate portions thereof, and the pair of base plates 5, 5 and the machine plate 6 form an H shape in plan view.

[0076] The rocking mecha...

third embodiment

[0113]FIG. 9 shows the invention.

[0114] This embodiment is a variation of the second embodiment, and the attachment positions of the support members 48 are different. That is, the upper ends of the support members 48 are connected to the underside of the platform 1, while the lower ends of the support members 48 are connected to the vicinities of the lower projecting arms 47, such that their configuration forms V shape in plan view.

[0115] With this construction also, the platform 1 is rockable to the left and right (about an axis oriented in the length direction) with respect to the support plinth 10, and when the platform 1 tilts to the right a force tending to push the platform 1 back to the left side arises in the support members 48, and when the platform 1 tilts to the left a force tending to push the platform 1 back to the right side arises in the support members 48. Consequently, the balance of a user H standing on this platform 1 can be collapsed still more complexly than in...

Abstract

A balance fitness machine is provided which is capable of automatically and stably and also uniformly effecting muscle exercise and stretch exercise and exercise for increasing sense of balance. This balance fitness machine has a platform 1 capable of carrying a user H mounting thereof in a standing posture, a rocking mechanism 2 for rocking this platform 1 in front-rear, left-right, and up-down directions, and a drive motor 20 for driving this rocking mechanism 2. The platform 1 has a long-by-narrow shape and is linked to the rocking mechanism 2 through support members 48 formed of resilient bodies.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] This invention relates to a balance fitness machine for contributing to improvement of the fitness of a user by promoting muscle exercise and stretch exercise of the user as well as developing the sense of balance of the user. BACKGROUND ART [0002] Along with the fitness boom of recent years, various fitness machines have been developed and marketed. For example, an exercise-assisting device provided with a forwardly and backwardly rotatable circular plate on which a user (person) mounts in a standing posture so that the user can perform an exercise of twisting the hips to the left and right alternately is known (see for example Patent Document 1). [0003] This exercise-assisting device is one that promotes twisting movement and stretching movement of the user's lower back. Consequently, exercising other parts such as for example thigh muscle and abdominal muscle with it has been difficult. [0004] Examples of activities that involve exercising the whole body in...
