Benefits of technology

[0012]The exercising device in this invention is configured to provide a first exercise when the exercising device has the first condition where the operation module holds the step module. The exercising device in this invention is configured to provide a second exercise when the exercising device has the second condition where the operation module holds the seat module. The exercising device in this invention is configured to provide a third exercise when the exercising device has the third condition where the operation module holds the step module and the seat module. The exercising device in this invention is configured to provide one of the first exercise, the second exercise, and the third exercise, selectively. Therefore, it is possible to reduce cost and installation space, compared with the case where a plurality of the exercising device having above functions, respectively, is individually prepared. Furthermore, it is possible to react to the variation of the demand of the user.
[0013]Furthermore, in a case where the operation module comprises the control circuit which is configured to vary the operation of the modules other than the operation modules according to the module which is attached to the operation module, the operation of the module which is attached to the operation module is automatically varied. Therefore, it is possible for the exercising device to provide the exercise to the user according to the module.
[0014]The configuration of that the step module and the seat module are attached to the base plate of the operation module such that the step module and the seat module are slidable with respect to the base plate, it is possible to easily attach the step module and the seat module to the operation module. The configuration of that the step module and the seat module are attached to the base plate o the operation module such that the step module and the seat module are drop in mounted on the base plate, it is possible to easily attach the step module and the seat module to the operation module. In contrast, the configuration of that the step module and the seat module are fixed to the base plate by the fixing member of the bolt or magnet, it is possible to firmly fix the step module and the seat module to the operation module. Consequently, it is possible to prevent the step module and the seat module from being displaced from the operation module.BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE DRAWINGS

Embodiment Construction

[0042]An explanation of the exercising device in this embodiment is made with attached drawings. FIG. 1 shows a third condition of the exercising device. The exercising device in the third condition comprises an operation module CM, a step module LM, and a seat module SM. In the third condition of the exercising device, the step module LM is attached to the operation module CM. In the third condition of the exercising device, the seat module SM is also attached to the operation module CM. FIG. 2 shows the operation module CM. The operation module CM comprises a base plate 10, a supporting post 4, and an operation panel 9. The supporting post 4 extends upward from a front end of the base plate 10. The operation panel 9 is disposed on a top end of the supporting post 4. The supporting post 4 is provided at its both lateral ends of the top end with handles 40. The handles 40 extend laterally outwardly.

[0043]The step module LM comprises a step driving means 5 and a pair of steps 6. One ...

Abstract

An exercising device comprises an operation module, a step module, and a seat module. The operation module has an operation unit. The step module has steps for bearing feet of the user, respectively. The step module is configured to move the step. The seat module has a seat and a driving unit configured to swing the seat. The step module and the seat module are detachably attached to the operation module. The exercising device has any one of a first condition, a second condition, and a third condition. The operation module is configured to hold the step module when the exercising device has the first condition. The operation module is configured to hold the seat module when the exercising device has the second condition. The operation module is configured to hold both the step module and the seat module when the exercising device has the third condition.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]This invention relates to exercising device. This invention particularly relates to an exercising device being configured to move members on which a user places so as to give a passive exercise to the user.BACKGROUND ART[0002]A prior exercising device comprising a seat on which a user sit, and being configured to give a periodic motion to the seat in order to give a motion corresponding to the periodic motion of the seat to the user is well-know. A patent literature 1 discloses a first prior exercising device. The first prior exercising device is, for example, configured to give exercise load like a horse riding. In addition, a patent literature 2 also discloses a second prior exercising device which comprises steps where the user's foot is placed and a seat on which the user sits. In a condition where the user places the user's foot on the steps and sits on the seat, the seat is swung. Consequently, the exercising device allows the user to tread the step. In th...
