Abstract

A compact balance board including a first board having a plate shape, a second board spaced a predetermined distance from and parallel to the first board, a shaft coupled to a bottom portion of the first board, a pivot support connecting the shaft and the second board so as to allow three-dimensional pivotal motions in which the first board or the second board is shaken and rotated, at least one elastic member positioned between the first board and the second board so as to provide elasticity for keeping the first board and the second board in parallel to each other, and a sliding member installed on one end portion or both end portions of the elastic member so as to allow the elastic member to be slidingly rotated when the first board or the second board is rotated.

Embodiment Construction

[0039]The presently disclosed embodiment provides compact balance boards including: a first board having a plate shape; a second board spaced a predetermined distance from a lower portion of the first board and parallel to the first board; a shaft coupled to a bottom portion of the first board or extending in one piece from the bottom portion of the first board; a pivot support connecting the shaft and the second board so as to allow three-dimensional pivotal motions in which the first board or the second board is shaken and rotated; at least one elastic member positioned between the first board and the second board in contact with the first board and the second board so as to provide elasticity for keeping the first board and the second board in parallel to each other; and a sliding member installed on one end portion or both end portions of the elastic member so as to allow the elastic member to be slidingly rotated when the first board or the second board is rotated.
