[0044] The following description of various aspects refers to the accompanying drawings, in which the same elements are generally identified by the same reference numerals. A better understanding of the relationships and functions of the various elements in these aspects can be achieved by referring to the following detailed description. However, the aspects are not limited to those shown in the drawings or explicitly described below. It should also be understood that the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale (although some drawings may be drawn to scale and are equally dependent on this), and in some cases, details unnecessary for understanding the aspects disclosed herein, such as common materials, construction, and components, may have been omitted.

[0045] To facilitate understanding of the currently disclosed embodiments, reference will now be made to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings, and these embodiments will be described using specific language. However, it should be understood that this is not intended to limit the scope of the invention, and such changes and further modifications to the illustrated apparatus, as well as further applications of the inventive principles illustrated therein, will be contemplated by those skilled in the art.

[0046] In this application, the term "constructed as" is used to describe a structural limitation in a particular manner that requires a specific construction to achieve the stated function and / or to engage or interact with another component(s), and is not used to describe a purpose that is merely contemplated or theoretical. Related and broader terms, such as "generally," "about," "substantially," etc., will be understood by those skilled in the art to provide a clear and unambiguous scope of the disclosure and / or claims. For example, the term "substantially perpendicular to surface 105" will be understood to mean that it does not need to be precisely 90 degrees relative to surface 105, but rather includes the equivalent in terms of angle and function.

[0047] Reference Figure 1-30 The illustration shows an embodiment of a Pilates reconfiguration training bed (hereinafter referred to as the "reconfiguration training bed") and some of its components. Features of one embodiment of the reconfiguration training bed discussed below can be incorporated into other embodiments of the reconfiguration training bed. Therefore, similar features in different embodiments will not be repeated in detail.

[0048] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the recombinant training bed 10 includes a base 12 extending between a first end 14 and a second end 16, and a bracket 28 slidably supported by the base 12. The base 12 includes a frame 18 extending between a first end 20 and a second end 22 (e.g., as shown in the image). Figure 3 (As shown). Frame 18 includes a first track 24 and a second track 26 spaced apart and extending along at least a portion of the length of frame 18. Bracket 28 is slidably coupled to frame 18 (discussed in more detail below) and movable along at least a portion of the length of frame 18. In some embodiments, reference... Figure 2 and 3 The base 12 also includes a plate 30 disposed between the bracket 28 and the frame 18, wherein the plate 30 is configured to cover the first track 24, the second track 26, and the gap 32 between the first track 24 and the second track 26. With the plate 30, the moving components of the reconfiguration training bed 10 will not be exposed (e.g., springs and wheels, discussed in more detail below). This configuration is advantageous because it shields the user from the internal components of the reconfiguration training bed 10, thereby preventing accidental and unsafe contact between clothing, hair, and / or body parts and the internal components of the reconfiguration training bed (e.g., springs and wheels, discussed in more detail below).

[0049] In some embodiments, the base 12 further includes a metal tube 34 (e.g., such as...). Figure 2-4As shown, it is configured to extend at least partially around the periphery of the frame 18 (or the periphery of the plate 30 when the plate 30 is arranged on the frame 18) and at least partially downward from the frame 18 or the plate 30, such that when the base 12 is arranged on a plane, the metal tube 34 will provide support for other parts of the reconfiguration training bed 10 (e.g., support for the frame 18, the plate 30 and the bracket 28).

[0050] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and 5 As shown, a cover 36 may be provided that extends at least partially over the base 12, at least partially covering some components of the reconfiguration bed 10 (e.g., at least partially covering the plate 30, frame 18, and metal tube 34). That is, the cover 36 is positioned between the bracket 28 and the plate 30. In some embodiments, the cover 36 may conform to the profile of the frame 18. In other embodiments, the cover 36 may include other shapes or profiles (e.g., as a rectangular box). The cover 36 may be made of any suitable material for its intended use, including but not limited to fabrics, mesh, and rigid materials (e.g., plastic or aluminum). In some embodiments, the cover 36 may include finishes, thus providing a variety of aesthetic finishes (e.g., wood grain, metal, fabric, etc.). Covering the base 12 with the cover 36 is advantageous because it provides a desirable aesthetic appearance suitable for display in a “home” environment and is easy to clean, while also shielding the user from the internal components of the reconfiguration bed 10, thereby preventing accidental and unsafe contact between clothing, hair, and / or body parts and the internal components of the reconfiguration bed 10 (e.g., springs and wheels, discussed in more detail below).

[0051] In some embodiments, plate 30 and / or cover 36 may be optional. For example, as Figure 22 and 23As shown, the plate 30 is removed, the central portion of the cover 36 is removed, and the bracket 28 is slidably supported by the frame 18 and movable between the first end 20 and the second end 22 of the frame 18. Advantageously, the reconfiguration bed 10 is lighter when the plate 30 and / or the cover 36 is at least partially or completely removed. Unlike conventional reconfiguration beds that are relatively large and use heavier materials, the reconfiguration bed 10 of this application is relatively small and uses lighter materials, such as aluminum, plastic composites, nylon, plywood, foam, vinyl resin, polyester, and fabric, making the reconfiguration bed 10 lighter and having a relatively low profile. Therefore, the weight of the reconfiguration bed can be minimized. In some embodiments, the reconfiguration bed 10 weighs less than 145 pounds, preferably less than 140 pounds, and more preferably less than 135 pounds. Lighter reconfigurable training beds are ideal for home use because it makes it easier for users to move the reconfigurable training bed between different positions, fold it up, and store it in different locations (e.g., under the bed or in a closet) or different positions (e.g., basic horizontal or upright).

[0052] Reference Figure 3 , 4 In some embodiments, as described in 6-8, the bracket 28 includes an upper portion 38 (e.g., platform 38) and a support frame 39 configured to support the platform 38. The support frame 39 typically extends downward from the platform 38 by a first distance 45, then inward, and then upward by a second distance 47, wherein the first distance 45 is greater than the second distance 47. It should be understood that the support frame 39 may extend in any one or more directions or angles as it extends downward, inward, and then upward from the platform 38. It should be understood that the support frame 39 may include multiple members, such as a downwardly extending member, another inwardly extending member, and another upwardly extending member, or a downwardly extending and then inwardly extending member and another upwardly extending member. The support frame 39 includes at least one movable member 60 disposed between the platform 38 and the bottom section of the support frame 39 and configured to movably engage the frame 18, as discussed in more detail below.

[0053] In some embodiments, the support frame 39 may include a lower portion 40 and an intermediate portion 42 disposed between the upper portion 38 and the lower portion 40. The upper portion 38 may include padding material for increasing user comfort on the reconfiguration training bed. The lower portion 40 is configured as a rigid tube to support the upper portion 38 thereon, extends at least partially below the frame 18, and wraps around at least a portion of the frame 18. In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and 6As shown, the lower portion 40 includes an upper plate 44, which is arranged above the frame 18 and configured to support the upper portion 38. The lower portion 40 also includes at least one leg 46 extending downward from the upper plate 44 (e.g., as shown in the figure). Figure 6 As shown, two legs 46), wherein the bottom section 48 of at least one leg 46 extends below the frame, such that at least one leg 46 wraps around at least a portion of the frame 18 (e.g., as shown). Figure 4 (As shown).

[0054] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the intermediate portion 42 of the bracket 28 is arranged and secured to the bottom section 48 of at least one leg 46. The intermediate portion 42 includes an elongated member 50 extending between a first end 52 and a second end 54. The elongated member 50 includes a first sidewall 56 and a second sidewall 58 extending between the first end 52 and the second end 54. Each of the first sidewall 56 and the second sidewall 58 includes at least one movable member 60 (e.g., a wheel 60 on the second sidewall 58, such as...). Figure 6 As shown, the bracket 28 is configured to move (e.g., roll) in the first track 24 and the second track 26 of the frame 18 when mounted on the frame 18, such that the bracket 28 is slidably movable along at least a portion of the length of the frame 18. The construction, positioning, and number of the moving members 60 may vary as needed and / or required, depending on the construction of the first track 24 and the second track 26 of the frame 18, without departing from the scope of the invention, as long as the moving members 60 allow the bracket 28 to be slidably moved along at least a portion of the length of the frame 18.

[0055] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6-8 As shown, each of the first sidewall 56 and the second sidewall 58 includes at least a first movable member 60 (e.g., as shown in the figure). Figure 6 The first wheel 60 on the second sidewall 58 shown is configured to rotate about the first axis 63) and the second moving member 61 (e.g., as shown) Figure 6The second wheel 61 on the second sidewall 58 (which is configured to rotate about a second axis 65) is configured to move (e.g., roll) in the first guide rail 24 and the second guide rail 26 of the frame 18 when the bracket 28 is mounted on the frame 18, such that the bracket 28 is slidably movable along at least a portion of the length of the frame 18. The first axis 63 may extend perpendicular to the second sidewall 58, and the second axis 65 may extend parallel to the second sidewall 58 and perpendicular to the first axis 63. This configuration of the first and second moving members 60 and 61 is advantageous because the first moving member 60 supports the load while the moving member 61 prevents lateral or side-to-side sliding, thereby providing smooth sliding between the first end 20 and the second end 22 of the frame 18. The configuration, positioning, and number of the first and second moving members 60 and 61 may vary as needed and / or required, depending on the configuration of the first rail 24 and the second rail 26 of the frame 18, without departing from the scope of the invention, as long as the intended use and function described above are achieved. For example, in some embodiments, the first moving member 60 and the second moving member 61 may be mechanical bearings or any type of highly lubricated / low-friction surface configured to accommodate a smooth sliding engagement between the bracket 28 and the frame 18.

[0056] refer to Figure 1 , 3 4 and 6, each of the first track 24 and the second track 26 includes an upper surface 66, a lower surface 68, and a groove 62 disposed between the upper surface 66 and the lower surface 68. The grooves 62 of the first track 24 and the second track 26 face each other and extend between a first end 20 and a second end 22 of the frame 18. The frame 18 and the bracket 28 are configured such that when the bracket 28 is mounted on the base 12, the upper portion 38 of the bracket 28 and the upper plate 44 of the lower portion 40 of the bracket 28 are disposed above the upper surface 64 of the base 12 (e.g., as shown in the image). Figure 1 As shown, the upper surface 64 is covered by a cover 36, and at least one leg 46 of the lower portion 40 wraps around at least a portion of the base 12 (e.g., around at least a portion of the frame 18, plate 30 and metal tube 34), wherein the bottom section 48 of at least one leg 46 extends below the frame 18 such that the middle portion 42 of the bracket 28 extends below between the first track 24 and the second track 26, and such that the movable member 60 (e.g., wheel 60) arranged on the first sidewall 56 and the second sidewall 58 of the elongated member 50 is slidably received in the opposing grooves 62 of the first track 24 and the second track 26, respectively.

[0057] With this configuration, the recesses 62 of the first and second tracks 24 and 26 do not open from the top, and the moving member 60 (e.g., wheel 60) of the bracket 28 is not visiblely accommodated in the recesses 62. This facilitates shielding the user from the moving member 60 (e.g., wheel 60), thereby preventing accidental and unsafe engagement of clothing, hair, and / or body parts with the moving member 60 (e.g., wheel 60). This configuration also facilitates allowing the cover 36 to wrap around the base 12 without affecting the use of the reconfiguration training bed 10 (e.g., without affecting the movement of the bracket 28 on the upper surface 64 of the base 12). In some embodiments, such as Figure 23 As shown, without departing from the scope of the invention, the bracket 28 does not extend below or surround the frame 18 (e.g., with...). Figure 4 Compared to the bracket 28 shown, this component helps to reduce the weight of the reconfiguration training bed 10.

[0058] Reference Figure 1-3 6-10, 23, and 29, bracket 28 is configured to be selectively and releasably coupled to a first end 20 of frame 18 and selectively and releasably coupled to a second end 22 of frame 18. For example, as Figure 6-8 As shown, the middle portion 42 of the bracket 28 includes at least one spring 70 extending between the first end 72 and the second end 74 below the upper portion 38 of the bracket 28 (e.g., platform 38). Figure 8 The two rows of four springs are shown; as Figure 23 and 29 (Six springs are shown in a row). At least one spring 70 has a first end 72 configured to selectively engage a first connection mechanism of the frame 18, and at least one spring 70 has a second end 74 configured to selectively engage a second connection mechanism of the frame 18, as discussed in more detail below. Positioning at least one spring 70 completely below the upper portion 38 of the bracket 28 helps to protect the user from obstructing the at least one spring 70, thereby preventing accidental and unsafe engagement of clothing, hair, and / or body parts with the at least one spring 70. In some embodiments, at least one spring 70 may be housed within a tube 71, so that the spring is not exposed, thereby limiting or preventing potential safety issues.

[0059] The first connector 76 is coupled to the first end 72 of at least one spring 70 and is configured to be releasably coupled to the first end 20 of the frame 18. The second connector 78 (e.g., as...) Figure 8 and 29(As shown) is connected to the second end 74 of at least one spring 70 and is configured to be releasably coupled to the second end 22 of the frame 18. In some embodiments, the first end 20 of the frame 18 includes a first actuation mechanism 82, wherein the first actuation mechanism 82 is configured to selectively and releasably engage a first connector 76, and the second end 22 of the frame 18 includes a second actuation mechanism 86, wherein the second actuation mechanism 86 is configured to selectively and releasably engage a second connector 78.

[0060] like Figure 3 , 23 As shown in Figure 29, the first end 20 of the frame 18 includes at least a first receiving 80 and a first actuation mechanism 82 (e.g., a first switch 82). The first receiving 80, the first actuation mechanism 82, and the first connector 76 are configured such that when the first actuation mechanism 82 is in a first state, the first connector 76 is received in the first receiving 80 and coupled to the first end 20 of the frame 18 (e.g., via a first recess 88 on the first connector 76, such as...). Figure 6 and 7 (as shown in the diagram), and when the first actuation mechanism 82 is in the second state, the first connector 76 disengages from the first end 20 of the frame 18.

[0061] In some embodiments, actuation of the first actuation mechanism 82 selectively moves the connecting mechanism (e.g., a clamping mechanism) to engage or disengage from the first connector 76. Movement of the connecting mechanism can be achieved by any suitable mechanical and / or electromechanical device, including but not limited to a series of gears, springs, rails, linkages, and / or servo motors. In some embodiments, the first actuation mechanism 82 may be a button / switch, wherein a user can push the first actuation mechanism 82 downward to move the connecting mechanism downward to engage with the first connector 76 and lock it in place, and wherein a user can further push the first actuation mechanism 82 again to disengage the connecting mechanism from the first connector 76 and move the connecting mechanism upward.

[0062] For example, such as Figure 30As shown, the first actuation mechanism 82 is a button and is in a first state, which allows a biasing mechanism (e.g., a spring) 81 to bias the connecting mechanism (e.g., a latch / lock) 85 upward to an upper position, such that the latch / lock 85 engages the first connector 76 (e.g., via a first recess 88 on the first connector 76). A user can push the first actuation mechanism (e.g., the button) 82 downward to move the button 82 from the first state to a second state, which moves the connecting mechanism (e.g., the latch / lock) 85 downward to a lower position, such that the latch / lock 85 disengages from the first connector 76. When the user releases the button 82, the latch / lock 85 can remain in the lower position. By pushing the button 82 downward again, the latch / lock 85 is biased upward by the spring 81 to an upper position, such that the button 82 returns to the first state and can remain there when the user releases the button 82. The button 82 can operate in a manner similar to the button on a clickable pen (e.g., pressing the button once advances the pen tip, and pressing the same button again retracts the tip).

[0063] Button 82, latch / lock 85, and spring 81 are configured such that when latch / lock 85 is in the upper position, if first connector 76 moves into first receptacle 80, first connector 76 will contact latch / lock 85, pushing latch / lock 85 downward against the biasing force of spring 81, and as first connector 76 continues to move into first receptacle 80, it allows spring 81 to bias latch / lock 85 upward to engage with first groove 88 on first connector 76. This configuration is advantageous in preventing damage to first connector 76 by allowing latch / lock 85 to move downward and disengage if first connector 76 moves into first receptacle 80 when button 82 is in the first state. This configuration also facilitates allowing first connector 76 to be coupled to the end of the repositioning training bed even when latch / lock 85 is in the upper position, thus allowing the user to complete the coupling even if latch / lock 85 is not in the intended (downward) position for coupling.

[0064] Alternatively, in some embodiments, the first actuation mechanism 82 may be configured such that a user can push the first actuation mechanism 82 downward to move the connecting mechanism downward to engage with the first connector 76, and then lock the connecting mechanism in place by rotating the first actuation mechanism 82 in a first direction. To unlock the connecting mechanism, the user can rotate the first actuation mechanism 82 in the opposite second direction, and then pull the first actuation mechanism 82 upward to disengage the connecting mechanism from the first connector 76 and move the connecting mechanism upward.

[0065] In some embodiments, such as Figure 19 and 20As shown, the first actuation mechanism 82 is configured as a rotatable actuation mechanism (e.g., in the form of a sleeve), and the first actuation mechanism 82 (e.g., sleeve 82) rotates along a first direction 83 (e.g., clockwise). Figure 20 Rotation of the first actuating mechanism 82 (e.g., sleeve 82) causes the connecting mechanism 77 to move downward toward the first connector 76 (e.g., via a threaded engagement between the sleeve 82 and another component connected between the sleeve 82 and the connecting mechanism 77), and rotation of the first actuating mechanism 82 (e.g., sleeve 82) in the opposite second direction (e.g., counterclockwise; not shown) causes the connecting mechanism 77 to move upward away from the first connector 76. In other words, moving the first actuating mechanism 82 to a first state allows the connecting mechanism to move toward the first connector 76, and when the first actuating mechanism 82 is in the first state, the connecting mechanism engages the first connector 76 (e.g., as shown). Figure 20 (As shown), and moving the first actuation mechanism 82 to the second state can disengage the connecting mechanism from the first connector 76 and move the connecting mechanism away from the first connector 76. The connecting mechanism can be any suitable form, for example, as shown in the figure. Figure 19 and Figure 20 As shown, the connecting mechanism 77 can be a fork-shaped piece with fork teeth, which engage the first connector 76 through the first groove 88 on the first connector 76.

[0066] like Figure 3 As shown, the second end 22 of the frame 18 includes at least a second receptacle 84 and a second actuation mechanism 86 (e.g., a second switch 86). The second receptacle 84, the second actuation mechanism 86, and the second connector 78 are configured such that when the second actuation mechanism 86 is in a first state, the second connector 78 is received in the second receptacle 84 and coupled to the second end 22 of the frame 18 (e.g., via a second recess 90 on the second connector 78, such as...). Figure 8 As shown), and when the second actuation mechanism 86 is in the second state, the second connector 78 disengages from the second end 22 of the frame 18. In some embodiments, manipulation of the second actuation mechanism 86 selectively moves the connection mechanism (e.g., a clamping mechanism) to engage or disengage from the second connector 78.

[0067] For example, moving the second actuation mechanism 86 to a first state causes the connecting mechanism to move toward the second connector 78, and when the second actuation mechanism 86 is in the first state, the connecting mechanism engages the second connector 78 (e.g., the connecting mechanism may be in the form of a fork and engage the second connector 78 via a second groove 90 on the second connector 78); moving the second actuation mechanism 86 to a second state causes the connecting mechanism to disengage from the second connector 78 and move the connecting mechanism away from the second connector 78. The movement of the connecting mechanism can be achieved by any suitable means, including a series of gears and / or linkages. In some embodiments, the second actuation mechanism 86 may be a button, and the connecting mechanism may be a latch / lock, as discussed above with respect to the first actuation mechanism 82, and for the sake of brevity, the construction and operating mechanism of the button-type second actuation mechanism 86 will not be repeated.

[0068] Without departing from the scope of the invention, any configuration of the first and second connectors 76 and 78 and the corresponding connection mechanisms on the frame 18 may be provided as needed and / or required, provided that the connection mechanisms can selectively engage the first and second connectors 76 and 78 respectively by manipulating the corresponding actuation mechanisms.

[0069] With the aforementioned configuration of each spring, container, and actuation mechanism, when the carriage 28 is coupled to the first end 20 of the frame 18, resistance is provided to the carriage 28 by the tension in the spring 70 as the carriage 28 moves toward the second end 22 of the frame 18, and when the carriage 28 is coupled to the second end 22 of the frame 18, resistance is provided to the carriage 28 by the tension in the spring 70 as the carriage 28 moves toward the first end 20 of the frame 18. Advantageously, this configuration allows the user to selectively and releasably couple the carriage 28 to either the first end 20 or the second end 22 of the frame 18 as needed (e.g., as...). Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown), as desired and / or needed, to accommodate different Pilates movements, users of different body types, and / or the use of other accessories to the body shaping machine (e.g., as shown). Figure 1-5 Platform 92, shown below, will be discussed in more detail.

[0070] An actuation mechanism (and associated connection mechanism) and a housing may be provided for each spring and at each end of the frame 18. The number of springs included in the middle portion 42 of the bracket 28 and the number of housings and corresponding actuation mechanisms at each end of the frame 18 may be varied as needed and / or required without departing from the scope of the invention, provided that each end of each spring can be selectively connected to or detached from the corresponding housing at the corresponding end of the frame 18 by switching the corresponding actuation mechanism between a first state and a second state.

[0071] The bracket 28 can be equipped with any type of biasing mechanism, although in a preferred embodiment, the bracket 28 is equipped with a spring or a cylinder. In some embodiments, at least one spring 70 can be replaced by another structure / component / element, including but not limited to at least one cylinder, without departing from the scope of the invention, provided that when the bracket 28 is coupled to the first end 20 of the frame 18, it provides resistance to the bracket 28 as it moves toward the second end 22 of the frame 18, and when the bracket 28 is coupled to the second end 22 of the frame 18, it provides resistance to the bracket 28 as it moves toward the first end 20 of the frame 18. The end of the other structure / component / element (e.g., at least one cylinder) can be coupled to a corresponding connection mechanism on the frame 18 in the same manner as discussed above with respect to embodiments including at least one spring 70.

[0072] In some embodiments, such as Figure 23 and 28 As shown, the bracket 28 may include a plurality of springs or a plurality of cylinders, wherein each of the plurality of springs or each of the plurality of cylinders may provide different levels of resistance to the movement of the bracket 28. The first end 20 of the frame 18 may include a plurality of first actuation mechanisms 82 (e.g., buttons), wherein each of the plurality of first actuation mechanisms is configured to selectively and releasably engage a first end of one of the plurality of springs or a first end of one of the plurality of cylinders, and the second end 22 of the frame 18 may include a plurality of second actuation mechanisms 86 (e.g., buttons), wherein each of the plurality of second actuation mechanisms is configured to selectively and releasably engage a second end of one of the plurality of springs or a second end of one of the plurality of cylinders. For example, a plurality of springs with different spring resistances may be provided, such that different combinations of springs with different spring resistances can be selected as needed and / or required by actuating the corresponding actuation mechanism (e.g., a button) to provide different levels of resistance to the bracket 28. Advantageously, the actuation mechanism allows the user to easily adjust the level of resistance provided to the bracket 28 as needed and / or required (e.g., by selectively pressing one or more buttons) without having to manually move the end of the spring.

[0073] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, the reconfiguration training bed 10 also includes a platform 92 disposed near a first end 14 of the base 12. At least one track 94 may be disposed below the platform 92, and the platform 92 is configured to slide along at least a portion of the length of the at least one track 94. The platform 92 is also configured to be selectively and releasably secured to different positions on the at least one track 94 as desired and / or needed. In some embodiments, the platform 92 may slide along the at least one track 94 further away from a second end 16 of the base 12 and be secured in a desired position to accommodate a higher user.

[0074] Advantageously, since the bracket 28 is configured to connect to either the first end 20 or the second end 22 of the frame 18 to provide resistance in opposite directions, a single platform 92 can be used in conjunction with the bracket 28 to achieve the function of two platforms arranged on the first end 14 and the second end 16 of the base 12. That is, when the bracket is connected to only one end of the recombinant training bed by one or more springs, it provides resistance to movement in only one direction. Therefore, in order to perform various Pilates movements that require fixing the platform and preventing movement of the bracket away from the fixed platform as well as preventing movement of the bracket toward the fixed platform, multiple platforms are required (e.g., at opposite ends of the recombinant training bed). Advantageously, in embodiments of this application, the same kind of movement can be performed using a single platform 92 by selectively engaging one or more springs on the bracket 28 at opposite ends of the recombinant training bed 10.

[0075] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 and 12 As shown, a bag portion 116 with a magnetic seam may be formed in a cover 36 on both sides of the base 12 (e.g., at the first end 14 of the base 12). The bag portion 116 may be configured to store and conceal optional straps 107, pulleys 109, and / or handles when not in use. Alternatively, other slots, containers, and / or housings in the form of boxes, cavities, and / or shelves (with or without magnetic anchoring / docking structures and / or mounting brackets) may be arranged on the outer and / or inner sides of the cover 36 and / or frame 18 to anchor, dock, store, accommodate, retain, and / or connect pulleys / cables / strips.

[0076] In some embodiments, the screen assembly 96 may be rotatably mounted on the base 12 to provide virtual, live, and / or interactive fitness guidance. For example, as Figure 1 , 3 As shown in 13 and 14, the screen assembly 96 is rotatably connected to the frame 18 at a second end 22 (e.g., to the second end 16 of the base 12). The screen assembly 96 is configured from a first position substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 95 of the base 12 or the frame 18 (e.g., as shown in 13 and 14). Figure 1 and 23 (As shown) Rotate to a second position substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis 95 of the base 12 or frame 18 (e.g., as shown) Figure 15As shown, the reconfigurable training bed is in a folded state, causing the center of gravity of the reconfigurable training bed 10 to shift towards the first end 20 of the frame 18. Since the screen assembly 96 and the handle 113 (discussed in more detail below) are arranged at the same second end 22 of the frame 18, the ability to shift the center of gravity of the reconfigurable training bed 10 towards the first end 20 of the frame 18 facilitates easier movement of the second end 22 of the reconfigurable training bed 10 from the surface 105 (e.g., as shown in the image). Figure 27 (As shown) Lift (e.g. via handle 113) to move and store the remodeling training bed 10.

[0077] The screen assembly 96 includes a screen 98 and an arm 100 extending outwardly from a second end 22 of the frame 18. The arm 100 extends between a first end 102 and a second end 104, wherein the first end 102 of the arm 100 is rotatably coupled / connected (e.g., via a first rotatable joint 101, such as...). Figure 23 (as shown) to the second end 22 of the frame 18, and the screen 98 is rotatably coupled / connected (e.g., via a second rotatable joint 103, such as...) Figure 23 (As shown) to the second end 104 of arm 100. The first rotatable joint 101 and the second rotatable joint 103 can be any type of joint that allows multiple degrees of rotational freedom, including but not limited to ball joints.

[0078] In some embodiments, the first rotatable joint 101 may be configured to allow the arm 100 to rotate or pivot in the Z direction about a first axis extending substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 95 of the frame 18, and the first rotatable joint 101 may be configured to allow the arm 100 to rotate or pivot in the Y direction about a second axis extending substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 95 of the frame 18. In some embodiments, the second rotatable joint 103 may be configured to allow the screen 98 to rotate or pivot about a first axis extending substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 95 of the frame 18 in the Z direction, and the second rotatable joint 103 may be configured to allow the screen 98 to rotate or pivot about a second axis extending substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 95 of the frame 18 in the Y direction.

[0079] For example, screen assembly 96 can be configured such that screen 98 can rotate approximately relative to arm 100 (e.g., as shown in the image). Figure 13 As shown), and screen 98 can be forward relative to arm 100 (e.g., as shown). Figure 14 As shown, from an upright position forward 180 degrees) and backward (e.g., as shown) Figure 14 As shown, it can be moved 180 degrees backward from an upright position. Advantageously, this configuration allows a user or other individual to perform floor exercises near the remodeling training bed 10 using the screen 98 (e.g., the screen 98 can be adjusted to provide a route that covers essentially the entire room, rather than the user being only at the remodeling training bed 10).

[0080] In some embodiments, when the bracket 28 moves toward the first end 20 of the frame 18, the screen assembly 96 can fold downward toward the first end 20 of the frame 18 to occupy at least a portion of the space occupied by the bracket 28 when the bracket 28 moves toward the second end 22 of the frame 18, such that the reconfiguration training bed is in a folded state. For example, refer to Figure 15 and 16 The screen component 96 is configured to be placed generally parallel to the base 12 (e.g., generally flat on the upper surface 64 of the base 12), which facilitates the transport and / or storage of the reconfiguration training bed 10, as discussed in more detail below.

[0081] refer to Figure 1 , 5 In some embodiments, such as 15 and 16, the reconfiguration training bed 10 includes a pair of rods 106 pivotally connected to a first end 20 of the frame 18. These rods 106 are configured to extend outward from the upper surface 64 of the base 12 at different angles (e.g., as shown in 15 and 16). Figure 1 (as shown) or arranged substantially parallel to the base 12 (e.g., arranged substantially flat on at least a portion of the base 12) (e.g., as shown) Figure 5 , 15 (and 16 as shown).

[0082] Due to the construction of the screen assembly 96 and the pair of levers 106, the reconfiguration training bed 10 is configured to be in an unfolded state (e.g., as shown in the image). Figure 1 and 23 (as shown) and folded state (e.g., when the screen assembly 96 and / or the pair of levers 106 are positioned substantially parallel to the base 12 / frame 18 (e.g., substantially flat on at least a portion of the base 12 / frame 18), as Figure 15 and 16 Convert between (as shown). For example... Figure 1 and 15 As shown, when the reconfiguration training bed 10 is folded, the length of the base 12 remains unchanged. That is, in both the unfolded and folded states of the reconfiguration training bed 10, the frame 18 extends along the same length between the first end 20 and the second end 22 of the frame 18.

[0083] In some embodiments, in the unfolded state (e.g., in a basically horizontal position) and folded state (e.g., in a basically upright position) of the reconfiguration training bed 10, the length 91 of the reconfiguration training bed 10 is (e.g., as shown in the figure) Figure 24 (As shown) less than 100 inches, preferably, the length 91 of the reconfigurable training bed 10 is less than 90 inches, more preferably, the length 91 of the reconfigurable training bed 10 is less than 85 inches. Figure 24As shown, length 91 is the length between the two ends of the reconfiguration training bed 10 along the longitudinal axis 95 (e.g., Figure 23 The distance (shown). In some embodiments, the rod 106 may be optional, but when included, it may extend beyond the first end 20 of the frame 18, such that the length 91 of the reconfiguration training bed 10 may be greater than the distance between the first end 20 and the second end 22 of the frame 18. This provides a balance between a sufficiently long frame (allowing for a range of motion for the bracket and / or users of different sizes) and a relatively short length (allowing for convenient storage under furniture and / or in an upright position (e.g., in a corner of a room, or in a closet).

[0084] In some embodiments, in the unfolded and folded states of the reconfiguration training bed 10, the width 93 (e.g., as shown in the figure) of the reconfiguration training bed 10 is 93. Figure 28 All dimensions (as shown) are less than 30 inches. Preferably, the width 93 of the reconfigurable training bed 10 is less than 25 inches, and more preferably, the width 93 of the reconfigurable training bed 10 is less than 20 inches (allowing for convenient storage under furniture or in a closet). Figure 28 As shown, the width 93 of the reconfiguration training bed 10 is in the Y direction ( Figure 23 (As shown) The distance between the two sides of the upper bracket 28.

[0085] In some embodiments, when the reconfiguration training bed 10 is in its unfolded state, the height of the reconfiguration training bed 10 is 97 (e.g., as shown in the figure). Figure 24 (As shown) less than 40 inches, preferably, the height 97 of the reconfigurable training bed 10 is less than 35 inches, and more preferably, the height 97 of the reconfigurable training bed 10 is less than 30 inches (providing a sufficiently tall screen to allow visibility from multiple viewing angles and / or for users of different sizes, while also providing foldability). For example Figure 24 As shown, the height 97 of the reconfiguration training bed 10 in its unfolded state is the distance between the top surface of the screen 98 and the surface 105 on which the reconfiguration training bed 10 is disposed. In some embodiments, in the folded state of the reconfiguration training bed 10, the height 99 of the reconfiguration training bed 10 (e.g., as shown) is... Figure 24 (As shown) The height of the reconfigurable training bed 10 is less than 15 inches, preferably less than 13 inches, and more preferably less than 11 inches. For example... Figure 24 As shown, the height 99 of the folded reconfigurable training bed 10 is the distance between the top surface of the bracket 28 and the surface 105 on which the reconfigurable training bed 10 is arranged. The dimensions (e.g., length and height) of the folded reconfigurable training bed are advantageous for home use because it allows the reconfigurable training bed 10 to be stored in a substantially horizontal orientation under a bed or another piece of furniture, or in a substantially vertical / upright orientation in a closet or other part of a room, without taking up a large amount of space.

[0086] In some embodiments, such as Figure 15 , 16 As shown in Figure 18, the first end 14 of the base 12 includes a support mechanism 108 (e.g., a handle) and a wheel assembly / moving member 110. The support mechanism 108 extends outward from the first end 14 of the base 12. The wheel assembly 110 includes at least one wheel 112 pivotally connected to at least one wheel rod 114 extending outward from the first end 14 of the base 12. The wheel assembly 110 is configured in a first state (e.g., as shown in Figure 18). Figure 15 and 18 (as shown) and the second state (e.g., as shown) Figure 16 The first state allows the reconfigurable training bed 10 to be placed on a substantially flat surface. The support mechanism 108 and wheel assembly 110 are configured such that when the wheel assembly 110 is in the second state, the support mechanism 108 and wheel assembly 110 allow the reconfigurable training bed 10 to stand in a substantially upright position, which facilitates transport and / or storage. In some embodiments, the wheel assembly 110 may extend at least partially or completely within the outer surface of the base 12 (e.g., at least partially covered by the base 12; as shown). Figure 21 As shown), the wheel assembly 110 is at least partially or completely hidden, which helps to prevent the user from accidentally stepping on the wheel assembly 110.

[0087] In some embodiments, such as Figure 15-17 As shown in 23 and 26, at the second end 16 of the base 12 (or at the second end 22 of the frame 18, as...) Figure 23 A handle 113 is arranged as shown, which can be used to move the reconfiguration training bed 10 when it is in a folded or unfolded state. (See reference...) Figure 23 The handle 113 is configured to allow the second end 22 of the frame 18 to be lifted away from the surface 105 on which the remodeling training bed 10 is disposed (e.g., as shown in the image). Figure 27 (as shown), and rotates about the first end 20 of the frame 18 still on that surface. In some embodiments, without departing from the scope of the invention, the pair of rods 106 can be formed as a continuous rod 106 in the form of a single unit (e.g., not separated into two rods; as shown). Figure 21 and 23 (as shown) instead.

[0088] Reference Figure 23 In some embodiments, rod 106 is arranged at a first end 20 of frame 18 and pivotally coupled thereto. Rod 106 is configured in a first position (e.g., as shown in the image). Figure 23-25The lever 106 moves between the first position (as shown in Figure 27) and the second position. When lever 106 is in the first position, lever 106 allows the reconfiguration training bed 10 to be placed on surface 105 (e.g., where the reconfiguration training bed 10 is in a substantially horizontal position relative to surface 105), and at least a portion of lever 106 is above frame 18, which allows the user of reconfiguration training bed 10 to use / grip lever 106. Lever 106 is configured such that the user can rotate lever 106 downward to a position below the upper surface of frame 18 (e.g., the second position). When lever 106 is in the second position, it can provide support for frame 18 so that frame 18 can stand in a substantially upright position, where the longitudinal axis 95 of frame 18 is substantially perpendicular to surface 105.

[0089] Therefore, the remodeling training bed 10 is configured at a position substantially horizontal relative to the surface 105 (e.g., as shown in the image). Figure 24 and 25 As shown, the bar 106 can be switched between a position when it is in the first position and a position that is substantially vertical relative to the surface 105 (e.g., when it is in the second position). This is advantageous for home use because it allows the reconfigurable training bed 10 to be stored in a substantially horizontal orientation under a bed or another piece of furniture, or in a substantially vertical / upright orientation in a closet or other part of a room, without taking up too much space.

[0090] like Figure 26 and 27 As shown, a movable member 110 (e.g., a wheel) is arranged at a first end 20 of the frame 18, wherein the movable member 110 is configured to allow movement of the frame 18 when a second end 22 of the frame 18 is lifted off the surface 105. When the lever 106 is in the second position, it can contact the surface 105 when the user lifts the second end 22 of the frame 18 off the surface 105, thereby protecting the first end 20 of the frame 18 during movement of the remodeling training bed 10 (e.g., by preventing the first end 20 of the frame 18 from contacting the surface 105). In some embodiments, such as Figure 26 and 27 As shown, support structures 111 (e.g., handles or legs) may be arranged at the first end 20 and the second end 22 of the frame 18, respectively, to support the recombinant training bed 10 in a position substantially horizontal relative to the surface 105.

[0091] In some embodiments of the reconfiguration training bed disclosed herein, one or more sensors may be provided to provide usage data, analytics, and / or feedback to the user of the reconfiguration training bed during use. For example, one or more position sensors may be arranged on rails, sliding brackets, extendable platforms, handles attached to the reconfiguration training bed, optional belts, pulleys and handles, and / or screens, and arms supporting the screens. As another example, one or more position sensors may be worn by the user of the reconfiguration training bed, for example, in toe socks, grip gloves, or other clothing items. As yet another example, one or more force sensors and / or force transducers or tension sensors may be provided for each of a plurality of springs mounted on the brackets.

[0092] Suitable position sensors include capacitive displacement sensors, eddy current sensors, Hall effect sensors, inductive sensors, laser Doppler vibrometers (optical) sensors, linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) sensors, photodiode array sensors, piezoelectric transducer sensors, ultrasonic sensors, and RFID sensors. Suitable force sensors include load cells, strain gauges, and force-sensing resistors.

[0093] It is conceivable that data collected from one or more of the aforementioned sensors can be communicated (wired or wirelessly) to a processing unit (whether related to the reflexology bed or remotely) and used to provide real-time and / or post-use data, analysis, and / or feedback, for example, on the reflexology bed's screen. Such data, analysis, and / or feedback may include, but are not limited to, "posture tracking" (i.e., the ability to achieve and / or maintain a specific posture or Pilates movement), usage time, transport speed, belt or pulley speed, spring tension level, etc.

[0094] In some embodiments of the recombinant training bed disclosed herein, in addition to or as an alternative to one or more of the sensors described above, a camera may be provided for capturing images and / or videos of the user of the recombinant training bed. The images and / or videos may be used to provide analytics and / or feedback to the user of the recombinant training bed, whether in real-time or post-processing, for example, on the screen of the recombinant training bed. In some embodiments, a trained Pilates instructor in a remote location may provide analytics and / or feedback to the user of the recombinant training bed, for example, on the screen of the recombinant training bed. In other embodiments, a position sensor in or associated with a camera may be used to provide analytics and / or feedback to the user of the recombinant training bed.
