Benefits of technology

The present invention provides an improved rowing position for boat and exercise equipment by reducing the pressure on the sciatic nerves and the gluteus maximus muscle. The middle section of the rowing seat has a support face that absorbs the user's weight, minimizing the load on the tuber ischiadicum and the gluteus maximus muscle. The shape of the seat is designed to distribute the pressure over a larger area, making it possible to row for a longer period of time without irritation and pain. The seat also promotes better posture, allowing the user to tilt the hip and lower back during a rowing stroke. Additionally, the seat may have a plate part for increased stiffness.

Problems solved by technology

However, the above-mentioned discomfort is also experienced by less trained rowers using the known rowing seats.
However, the known rowing seats available today in the market place do not overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages and problems for the rower.

Embodiment Construction

[0110]FIG. 1 shows a rowing seat 1 according to the invention. The rowing seat 1 according to the invention may be used in connection with rowing boats or kayaks. In addition, the rowing seat 1 may also be used for exercise equipment such as rowing machines and kayaking machines.

[0111]The rowing seat 1 comprises a first face 2 adapted to support and carry a user and a second face 3 arranged opposite the first face 2. The rowing seat 1 further comprises a first end 4 and a second end 5, and a first side 6 and a second side 7, and a longitudinal axis 8 extending between the first end 4 and the second end 5. In this embodiment, the rowing seat 1 has a substantially rectangular shape. However, the rowing seat may, in other embodiments, have other designs and shapes.

[0112]According to the inventive idea, the first face 2 furthermore comprises a middle section 9 arranged substantially between the first side 6 and second side 7 and extending from the first end 4 towards the second end 5 wi...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a rowing seat (1) for rowing and kayaking boats and exercise equipment, comprising a first face (2) adapted to support and carry a user, a second face (3) arranged opposite the first face, a first end (4) and a second end (5), a first side (6) and a second side (7), and a longitudinal axis (8) extending between the first end and the second end, wherein the first face (2) comprises a middle section (9) arranged substantially between the first and second sides (6, 7) and extending from the first end (4) towards the second end (5) with a length of at least 8 cm, the middle section (9) having a substantially convex support face (10) extending along the longitudinal axis, the support face (10) being adapted to support at least 50% of the user's weight during use of the rowing seat. The present invention also relates to a rowing, kayaking or exercise system comprising a rowing seat according to the present invention.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a rowing seat for rowing and kayaking boats and exercise equipment. The present invention also relates to a rowing, kayaking or exercise system comprising a rowing seat according to the present invention.BACKGROUND ART[0002]The tuber ischiadicum in Latin, also known as the sitting bone, is a large swelling posteriorly on the superior ramus of the ischium. It marks the lateral boundary of the pelvic outlet. When sitting down, the weight is frequently placed upon the ischial tuberosity. The gluteus maximus covers it in the upright posture, but leaves it free in the seated position.[0003]Thus, when a rower is rowing, either in a rowing boat or in a rowing machine, he or she is sitting on a rowing seat, which is adapted to be moved back and forth during the rowing strokes. During a rowing stroke, the rower has a certain movement in relation to the rowing seat, which again may exert loads on the tuber ischiadicum, the areas aro...
