Stepper with wave type vibrator

Abstract

The present invention relates to a stepper with a wave type vibrator, which enables a user to aerobically exercise his / her feet or other parts requiring training to harden the parts or reduce the body fat thereof, using both strong wave type vibrating motion of a step board and an improved multi-level control system, thus increasing the base metabolic rate of the user's body and realizing effective body fat reduction and an increase in muscle power. The stepper includes a stepper frame, a drive unit and a control unit. The stepper frame is composed of a box-shaped stand, a central column securely standing on the stand, and a handle arm extending outwards from each of left and right sides of the central column to an associated position on the stand. The drive unit is composed of a step board installed in the depression of the stand, with a plurality of acupressure protrusions and two far-infrared lamps, a drive motor mounted to the bottom wall of the step board, a drive belt wrapped around the output shaft of the drive motor, a driven pulley connected to the output shaft of the drive motor by the drive belt, a rotating shaft rotated by the driven pulley and divided into left and right shaft parts based on the driven pulley, and a vibrating bracket having an actuating link to be actuated in conjunction with rotation of the rotating shaft. The control unit is composed of a course setting unit for commanding the drive unit to execute four different vibrating motions and controlling power supply for the drive unit, and a far-infrared lamp controller for controlling a preset temperature and a preset operating time period of the far-infrared lamps.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates, in general, to steppers with wave type vibrators and, more particularly, to a motorized stepper with a wave type vibrator, which enables a user to aerobically exercise his / her feet or other parts requiring training to strengthen the parts or reduce the body fat thereof, using both the strong wave type vibrating motion of a step board and an improved multi-level control system, thus promoting an improvement in the base metabolic rate of the user's body and realizing effective body fat reduction and effective increase in muscular power.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]Generally, a variety of exercise machines or health machines may be provided in homes and health clubs. Thus, users can exercise using desired machines to harden and strengthen their bodies.[0005]Conventional exercise machines or health machines are classified into two types: hand-operated machines, which are manual...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0008]Accordingly, the present invention has been made keeping in mind the above problems occurring in the related art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a motorized stepper with a wave type vibrator, which enables a user to aerobically exercise his / her feet or other parts requiring training to strengthen the parts or reduce the body fat thereof, using both the strong wave type vibrating motion of a step board and an improved multi-level control system, thus promoting an improvement in the base metabolic rate of the user's body and realizing effective body fat reduction and effective increase in muscle power.

Problems solved by technology

However, conventional steppers typically use small capacity motors and simple rotating links, so that the conventional steppers are problematic in that they have only a short life expectancy, and provide only weak and simple vibrating motions.

Particularly, in the related art, the steppers have been studied and designed to realize only body fat reduction and hardening of users' muscles, so that the conventional steppers cannot realize a large variety of wave type vibrating motions or improved vibrating cycles.

Further, the conventional steppers are not equipped with additional functions, demanded by users searching for healthy lifestyles.
