Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to sports equipment, and more specifically, to multifunctional sports equipment that addresses challenges related to space constraints, user safety, and the cost of purchasing separate sports equipment for various aerobic and anaerobic exercises. Background Technology

[0002] Exercise is part of a healthy lifestyle. Individuals may exercise for a variety of reasons, such as to improve strength and / or speed, to recover from injuries, to improve overall physical and / or mental health, and / or similar reasons.

[0003] Traditional home workout equipment offers individuals the flexibility to engage in a variety of exercises to enhance both aerobic and anaerobic fitness. Individuals can use home equipment such as treadmills, exercise bikes, or related devices for aerobic exercise. Individuals can use home equipment such as weightlifting machines, bench presses, pull-up bars (either overhand or underhand), squat bars, weighted sleds, and / or similar devices for anaerobic exercise. However, purchasing separate fitness equipment for different exercises not only increases the individual's financial burden but also presents spatial challenges, making it impractical to maintain a comprehensive range of fitness equipment at home.

[0004] Exercise equipment offering multiple functions and / or features inherently presents additional safety concerns. For example, a type known as a weighted sled combines the traditional exercise of walking or running on a treadmill with the added element of upper body exertion. Users apply resistance to the sled track by gripping the handlebars with both hands. This machine can be bolted to the floor to apply resistance between the treadmill and the handlebars. However, such machines are difficult to store and even difficult to access. Therefore, there remains a need for a multi-functional exercise platform that overcomes these limitations, providing a complete set of functions for various aerobic and anaerobic exercises while ensuring user safety and minimizing the space occupied by the equipment. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model discloses an exercise platform that allows users to perform different types of aerobic and anaerobic exercise on a single device. The exercise platform includes a frame, a base, a treadmill, a torso support structure, a pull-up bar with an overhand grip, and squat handles.

[0006] Exercises that can be performed using the exercise platform include sledding, sledding, squats, reverse grip pull-ups and / or overhand grip pull-ups and / or similar exercises. Other exercises that can be performed include push-ups, hip presses, Nordic crunches, split squats, forward walking and / or running, L-sit, hanging abdominal exercises, hip flexor raises, step aerobics, etc.

[0007] The sledding motion involves a person placing their shoulders on two circular pads (part of the torso support structure) and then pushing against the treadmill belt with their legs. The exercise platform includes a magnetic resistance system, where magnets connected to two flywheels provide adjustable resistance. In some embodiments, 22 magnets are used to achieve multi-level resistance adjustment.

[0008] For backward walking, the user can lower the treadmill deck to an incline by properly placing pins in the foldable track support components. The user can then set the back support bar at the height of their lower back. Next, the user can press themselves backward on the treadmill, pushing their back against the back support bar and mat.

[0009] The handles for squatting are adjustable to different heights, allowing for a range of motion during squats or other exercises. The handle height is adjustable, secured to the frame using adjusting pins that include knobs to allow handle movement. In some embodiments, one or both handles may be secured by pins including a pull-to-release knob. Alternatively, one or both handles may be secured by pins including a screw knob. In some embodiments, the handles may be padded to provide comfort and additional support during squatting. Squatting exercises can be performed with the exercise platform's tracks in a horizontal position (i.e., level with respect to the ground) or an upright position (i.e., vertical with respect to the ground), depending on the user's preference.

[0010] In some embodiments, the overhand grip pull-up bar is positioned on top of the exercise platform, and the multi-grip overhand grip pull-up bar has five different grip angles. The height of the overhand grip pull-up bar can be adjusted to provide sufficient headroom for the user while using the treadmill, but low enough for the user to reach and mount the overhand grip pull-up bar for overhand pull-up exercises. Users can perform reverse grip pull-ups and / or overhand grip pull-ups according to their preference, whether the treadmill is in a horizontal or vertical position.

[0011] In some embodiments, the computing device is used to track mileage, feet, time, and / or similar information. Mileage can be used to measure the distance traveled forward or backward on a treadmill. When pushing a sled, the number of steps taken can be tracked because the resistance is relatively high, and the user typically walks a shorter distance. In some embodiments, an audible alarm is sounded to remind the user when the workout routine is completed.

[0012] Users can use the treadmill and adjustable foam rollers to perform Nordic crunches. The foam rollers can be positioned to secure the user's ankles using holes in the upright extension frame of the exercise platform.

[0013] The implementation of the treadmill frame design ensures that the weight of the user and the treadmill frame is supported by the base of the equipment, thus securing the treadmill and base to the ground. Specifically, in the exercise machine described herein, the treadmill track rests against a metal plate. This ensures that when the user applies force to the exercise platform during push-and-pull exercises, both the treadmill and the base remain fixed to the ground. This feature prevents the base from lifting due to the applied torque during push-and-pull exercises and eliminates the need to bolt the treadmill frame to the base or the base to the ground, both of which would make the exercise platform difficult to move or store (or require disassembly for movement or storage).

[0014] In some embodiments, the frame is fully equipped with adjustment holes to provide a wide range of adjustment options. In some embodiments, four guide rods (sometimes referred to herein as connecting support members) are positioned below the treadmill track to ensure proper belt tracking. In some embodiments, upgraded commercial bearings and rollers are used.

[0028] The accompanying drawings are embodiments of the present invention and, together with the general description of the present invention above and the detailed description of the embodiments below, are used to explain the principles of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0029] Figure 1-6 , Figure 7A and 7B as well as Figure 8-11 Descriptions of various views of the exercise platform 10 are provided. For example, Figure 1 and Figure 2 This is a perspective view of an exercise platform 10 described in accordance with the principles of this disclosure. The exercise platform 10 includes a frame 12, a base 14, a treadmill 16, a torso support structure 18, a pull-up bar 20 with an overhand grip, and squat handles 22.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The frame 12 is shown to be generally perpendicular to the ground and extends upward from the base 14 which engages with the ground. The frame 12 includes support members 24 and 26, a stabilizer bar 28, support members 30 and 32, and a stabilizer bar 34. The stabilizer bar 28 connects the support members 24 and 26.

[0031] Each support member 24, 26, 30, 32 is connected to the top of the base 14. For example, fastening assemblies can be used to connect each support member 24, 26, 30, 32 to the top of the base 14. The connection of support members 24, 30 can be seen... Figure 1 The connection of support components 26 and 32 can be seen Figure 2 .

[0032] Support member 30 is attached to support member 24. For example, the top of support member 30 may be attached to support member 24 via welding or other connection methods known in the art. Support member 32 is attached to support member 26. For example, the upper portion of support member 32 may be attached to support member 26 via welding or other methods known in the art. Stabilizer bar 34 provides additional support between support member 24 and support member 30, and between support members 26 and 32.

[0033] Still refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The top side of the exercise platform 10 includes a pull-up bar 20 with an overhand grip. Although referred to as an overhand pull-up bar 20, those skilled in the art will understand that the overhand pull-up bar 20 can be used to perform overhand pull-ups, underhand pull-ups, and / or various other types of exercises. In the illustrated example, the overhand pull-up bar 20 includes multiple pairs of different handle bars, including handle bar pairs 46, 48, 50, and 52. Each handle bar in handle bar pairs 48, 50, and 52 is positioned between connecting bars 54 and 56. The handle bar in handle bar pair 46 is positioned at opposite ends of connecting bar 56. The handle bars can be used to perform underhand pull-ups, overhand pull-ups, and / or similar movements, wherein each corresponding handle bar pair allows for the use of different grip angles to perform underhand pull-ups, overhand pull-ups, and / or similar movements. By changing the grip angle by gripping different handle bar pairs, the user can isolate different muscles or different parts of muscles during exercise.

[0034] In some embodiments, the overhand pull-up bar 20 may include a different number of handles. For example, the overhand pull-up bar 20 may include only two handles, four handles, six handles, etc. Additionally or alternatively, the overhand pull-up bar 20 may also include handles with different shapes and / or different separations.

[0035] Although not shown, one or more handle bars may use grips. In some embodiments, the grips may be placed in other locations. For example, two grips may be placed on the connecting bar 56, each equidistant from a corresponding end of the connecting bar 56. This allows the user to perform underhand pull-ups and / or overhand pull-ups at an angle different from that of the handle bars via the handle bar pair 46.

[0036] Still refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The exercise platform 10 may include squat handles 22 (specifically referred to as squat handles 22, or collectively as squat handles 22). For example, a first squat handle 22 is connected to a support member 30, and a second squat handle is connected to a support member 32. The bottom of each squat handle 22 may include a mounting plate 58 that may be attached around one of the support members 30 and 32. For example, the mounting plate 58 may be formed in a semi-circular shape to securely fix the mounting plate 58 around one of the support members 30 and 32. The squat handles 22 can be used to perform squats or related exercises. For example, a user may place one hand on the first squat handle 22 and the other hand on the second squat handle 22, and perform squatting exercises in a suspended position above the treadmill 16.

[0037] In some embodiments, the height of the squat handle 22 is adjustable. For example, a knob and pin can be placed on each mounting plate 58, allowing the user to turn each knob counterclockwise to de-secure each mounting plate 58 to its respective support. The user can then raise or lower the squat handle 22 by sliding the mounting plate 58 up and down along its respective support, and can secure each mounting plate 58 to its respective support by rotating each knob clockwise.

[0038] Still refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The exercise platform 10 may include a torso support structure 18 connected to the frame 12. The torso support structure 18 includes an upper member 60, a lower member 62, and connecting members 64 and 66. During sledding or tobogganing exercises, the torso support structure 18 can be used to support the user's shoulders. A mat 68 may be placed around the connecting member 64, and a mat 70 may be placed around the connecting member 66. Mats 68 and 70 are used to protect the user's shoulders during sledding exercises. For example, the user can step forward onto the treadmill 16, resting their shoulders on the corresponding mats. Mats 68 and 70 can provide protection when the user applies the necessary force to move the belt of the treadmill 16.

[0039] In some embodiments, the exercise platform 10 may include a back support bar 72. Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this configuration, the back support rod 72 is not visible because it is enclosed within the pad 74. In some embodiments, the position of the back support rod 72 is adjustable. For example, a user can remove or loosen the knob and pin assemblies on each side of the back support rod 72, move the back support rod 72 (and the attached pad 74) to the desired position, and then reconnect or tighten each knob and pin assemblies at the desired position.

[0040] In some embodiments, the computing device 76 may be attached to the torso support structure 18. For example, the computing device 76 may be attached to the upper member 60, such as... Figure 1 As shown. The computing device 76 can be used to record the distance traveled over a period of time, for example, by tracking mileage, feet, time, etc. It can record the distance traveled to measure the distance moved forward or backward along the track. In cases of resistance and short user movement distances, it can record the distance traveled while pushing or pulling the sled.

[0041] Still refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The base 14 supports the exercise platform 10 when it is placed on the ground. The base 14 includes support members 78, 80, and 82, which together form a "U" shape, with support member 82 connecting support members 78 and 80. To provide additional support, support member 84 can be positioned between support members 78 and 80. For example, support member 84 can be positioned between support members 78 and 80 such that its position is centered relative to the positions where support members 24, 26, 30, and 32 connect to the base 14.

[0042] In some embodiments, wheels 86 may be mounted on support members 82. In some embodiments, handles 88 may be mounted on top of each support member 78, 80. In this way, a user can use each handle 88 to lift the exercise platform 10 upwards and use the wheels 86 to roll the exercise platform 10 between storage and use positions.

[0043] In some embodiments, the bottom surface of the base 14 may include a leg array 90. The leg array 90 arrays to prevent slippage and to prevent the exercise platform 10 from moving during use.

[0044] Figure 3 This is a front view of the exercise platform 10. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the rear view of the exercise platform 10.

[0045] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 8 The exercise platform 10 may include a foldable track support member 92, which is attached to the bottom of the treadmill 16. The foldable track support member 92 includes two parallel support rods 94 and 96 and a connecting support rod 98. Figure 8 Each support rod can be seen in the image. The parallel support rods 94 and 96 extend to the width of the exercise platform 10 and can be interconnected via connecting support rods 98.

[0046] like Figure 5 As shown, the connecting support rod 98 can be connected to the bottom of the treadmill 16 via a corresponding connecting plate 102. For example, the connecting plate 102 can be attached (e.g., welded, etc.) to the bottom of the treadmill 16, with fastener 101 ( Figure 8 The support rod 98 (as indicated in the middle) can be inserted through the hole in the connecting plate 102, thereby securing it to the connecting plate 102 (and thus to the bottom of the treadmill 16). The bottom of the foldable track support member 92 may be slightly higher than or in contact with the pair of brackets 104.

[0047] Reference Figure 8 The foldable track support member 92 can be placed in an inclined position. For example, the user can remove the fastener 103 from each side of the foldable track support member 92. Figure 8(as indicated in the middle) The adjustable track support member 92 can be pushed toward the frame so that it is positioned along the bottom of the treadmill 16, and the corresponding fasteners 103 can be inserted to securely fix the foldable track support member 92 to the bottom of the treadmill 16.

[0048] When a user performs a push-pull sled exercise, the treadmill 16 is designed to counteract the forces applied by the user during exercise. For example, because the treadmill tracks rest against the base 14 (e.g., against a foldable track support member 92 mechanically integrated into the base), the base 14 will remain grounded when the user applies force to the frame 12, thus preventing the entire exercise platform 10 from tipping over when the user applies force between the treadmill 16 and the frame 12. Specifically, the user's weight on the treadmill acts on the base 14 of the treadmill 16. When the user places their shoulders on mats 68, 70, or their back on mat 74, and begins the sled exercise, forces are generated between the upright frame 12 and the treadmill 16. However, the forces generated by the user's movement are not directly transmitted to the ground, but rather to the connecting support bar 98, which transmits the force to the base 14 resting on the ground. Therefore, the forces applied by the user are counteracted by the base 14 and the frame 12, without generating torque relative to the ground on the exercise platform 10. If the treadmill is placed directly on the ground, the force applied by the user to the frame 12 will be between the frame 12 and the ground, creating a torque between the ground and the frame 12, causing the base 14 and the frame 12 to rotate. To prevent this, the frame 12 needs to be bolted to the floor, which would make the exercise platform 10 difficult to move or store (or require disassembly for movement or storage).

[0049] As previously described, the exercise platform 10 includes a treadmill 16. The treadmill 16 can be used for running, walking, or, when used in conjunction with the torso support 18, for sledding exercises. Figure 1-2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figures 7A-7B As can be seen from one or more of the components, the treadmill 16 includes a treadmill frame 106, a belt 108, a support plate 107, and rollers 110 (in...). Figure 5-6 and Figures 7A-7B (See in the image), flywheel 112 and magnetoresistive system 114.

[0050] The treadmill frame 106 may include two main support members that extend the length of the treadmill 16, and may include connecting support members, each of which is located between the main support members. Figure 5In the cross-section shown, four connecting support members can be seen located inside the belt 108 of the treadmill 16. Each connecting support member connects between the main support members on opposite sides of the treadmill 16. A support plate 107 is located on top of each connecting support member. The size of each corresponding connecting support member can be selected according to the size of the belt 108. The belt 108 can be wound around the connecting support members and the rollers 110. The belt 108 can be made of rubber, nylon, polyester, composite materials, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) coating for increased traction and anti-slip properties, combinations thereof, and / or other types of materials known in the art.

[0051] like Figure 5-6 and Figures 7A-7B As shown, the treadmill 16 includes rollers 110. For example, a first roller 110 may be implemented at a first end of the treadmill 16, and a second roller 110 may be implemented at a second end of the treadmill 16. At least one end includes a mechanical resistance system. For example, the illustrated second end includes a flywheel 112 and a mechanical resistance system 114. These components are connected to the rollers 110 at the second end, and the flywheel 112 acts as a pulley, rotating with the rotation of the belt 108.

[0052] The mechanical resistance system 114 may include two sets of magnets (referred individually to as magnets 116, or collectively as magnets 116), with each set of magnets 116 positioned near (e.g., below or near) the flywheel 112. Each set of magnets 116 is reliably mounted on a braking surface 118, which is secured by fasteners 120 and brackets 122. Each flywheel 112 may have a flywheel cover 124.

[0053] In some embodiments, the number of magnets 116 used may affect the amount of resistance provided by the treadmill 16. In a preferred embodiment, 22 magnets 116 are used to allow for multi-level adjustment, thereby allowing users to adjust the difficulty of the treadmill function, the push-sled function, and / or the pull-sled function according to their preferences.

[0054] In some embodiments, for example Figure 7A and Figure 7B The illustrated embodiment allows for customizable resistance settings. For example, as Figure 7AAs shown, the first set of magnets 116 can be pivoted about a first fastener 120 (e.g., a bolt positioned at one end of the first set of magnets 116) to be positioned on the braking surface 118 in one of several orientations relative to the flywheel 112. A first bracket 122 can be positioned near the other end of the first set of magnets 116. The first bracket 122 may include a spring-loaded tension mechanism or similar mechanism. The spring-loaded tension mechanism may be connected to a cable extending through the exercise platform 10 to a resistance adjustment knob. Turning the resistance adjustment knob pulls or releases the cable, thereby pulling the braking surface 118 and the magnets 116 away from or towards the flywheel 112, thus reducing the overall resistance provided to the system.

[0055] Additional land, or alternative land, such as Figure 7B As shown, in a more static adjustable braking mechanism, a fastener 120, such as a bolt, can be positioned near one end of the braking surface 118 to secure the second set of magnets 116. A second bracket 122 can be positioned near the other end of the braking surface 118 and the second set of magnets 116. The second bracket 122 may include a C-clamp or similar fastening component or mechanism. As shown, the second bracket 122 can be locked to one of several configurable resistance settings. In this case, each setting changes the distance between the braking surface 118, the magnets 116, and the corresponding flywheel 112. Although three resistance settings are shown in the figure, this is only illustrative; in practice, any number of different configurable resistance settings can be implemented.

[0056] Users can use the exercise platform 10 to perform various types of exercises. For example, a user can use the exercise platform 10 to perform a sledding exercise. The user can use the computing device 76 to select the sledding exercise, select or configure the desired resistance level, and stand with their torso resting against the torso support structure 18. Next, the user can begin to exert force forward. This will cause the belt 108 to move backward (e.g., in the opposite direction to the user's pushing force). In this case, the magnetic resistance system 114 will be activated to resist the displacement of the belt 108 surface. For example, one or more permanent magnets 116 will generate eddy currents, hindering the rotation of the roller 110, thereby increasing the resistance to the displacement of the belt 108 surface.

[0057] Figure 9 This is a first side view of the exercise platform 10 when the treadmill 16 is in an inclined position. To place the treadmill 16 in an inclined position, the user can change the position of the foldable track support member 92 so that member 92 is fixed to the bottom of the treadmill 16. This will tilt the treadmill 16 so that the bottom surface of the treadmill 16 frame (opposite to the magnetic resistance system 114) rests directly against the base 14.

[0058] In some embodiments, a user can use the exercise platform 10 to perform a backward pushing exercise. The user can use the computing device 76 to select the exercise, select or configure the desired resistance, and place the treadmill 16 in an incline position. Next, the user can walk backward while keeping their back pressed against the back support bar 72 (and mat 74). This will cause the user to exert force in the forward direction, resulting in the belt 108 moving in the backward direction. In this case, the magnetic resistance system 114 will be activated to resist the displacement of the surface of the belt 108. For example, one or more permanent magnets 116 will generate eddy currents, impeding the rotation of the rollers 110, thereby increasing the resistance to the displacement of the surface of the belt 108.

[0059] Figure 10 This is a perspective view of the exercise platform 10, with the treadmill 16 in a storage position. The step platform 126 in the figure can be attached to the support members 30 and 32 of the exercise platform 10. Figure 11 This is a side view of the exercise platform 10, with the treadmill 16 in its storage position, wherein a step platform 126 is attached to support members 30 and 32. The step platform 126 may include steps, two step support members, and two mounting plates, each attached to one of the step support members. When the treadmill is in its storage position, the step platform 126 can be used to allow the user to perform stair climbing and related exercises.

[0060] from Figure 10 and Figure 11 As can be seen, the step platform 126 can have a mounting plate similar to the mounting plate 58 of the squat bar 22. Each mounting plate is used to connect to one of the support members 30, 32 of the frame 12. In this way, the user can adjust the height of the step platform 126.

Other advantages and modifications of the present invention will readily be apparent to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the present invention is not limited in a broader sense to the specific details; in this invention, the applicant will demonstrate and describe representative devices and methods, as well as examples. Thus, deviations from these details may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the applicant's general inventive concept.
