[Background technology]

[0002] Recently, the public has become more interested in fitness, and the development of media related to exercise postures has naturally made it very easy to learn related knowledge.

[0003] However, since exercise equipment is not cheap, most people pay to use the equipment at gyms, but if there are many people at a certain time or on a public holiday, they often have to wait to use the exercise equipment they want. In relation to this, there is an increasing need for exercise equipment that allows multiple people to do various types of exercise without taking up a large space.

[0004] Conventional high-low machines are used by many people to exercise the latissimus dorsi, but they have problems such as limited grip and being unable to focus on exercising various parts of the body.

[0005] Therefore, there is a demand for research into high-low machines that are equipped with a first angle adjustment unit and a second angle adjustment unit based on two axes perpendicular to the grip unit, allowing the user to adjust the handle angle to various angles according to their needs and select a grip method to concentrate on exercising specific parts of the body.

[0070] The support angle adjustment unit 177 can adjust the angle of the knee support unit 176 relative to the first seat frame 171. The first angle adjustment unit 162, the second angle adjustment unit 163 and the support angle adjustment unit 177 are provided with a plurality of angle adjustment holes (not shown) in an arc shape, and a method of adjusting to a desired angle by inserting an angle fixing pin (not shown) into one of the angle adjustment holes can be used. By providing the support angle adjustment unit 177, the Hi-Low machine 100 can be adapted to various body sizes of users.

[0071] 1 and 2, the mounting portion 180 may be provided to protrude at a predetermined angle from one point of the support frame 110 to define a lowering limit of the weight portion 130.

[0072] Referring again to FIG. 9, the operation of the Hi-Lo machine 100 of the present invention will now be described.

[0073] FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating the operation of a Hi-Lo machine according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0074] Referring to FIG. 9, (a) shows a state before the user lowers the grip portion 160, and (b) shows a state after the user has lowered the grip portion 160.

[0075] First, the user can fix a weight plate of a desired weight to the weight unit 30. Also, the handle 161 can be adjusted to a desired angle by the first angle adjustment unit 162 and the second angle adjustment unit 163 and fixed. Next, the user can sit on the seat unit 170 with the main body frame 120 retracted, and adjust the height of the seat unit 174 to fit the user's body size. Next, the user can fix the user's legs by adjusting the angle of the knee support unit 176 by the support angle adjustment unit 177. Depending on the user's needs, the user can grip the handle 161 with one hand or both hands, lower the grip unit 160 so that one end of the rotating unit 140 moves from the raised position (see FIG. 9(a)) to the lowered position (see FIG. 9(b)), and lift the weight plate of the weight unit 130 to exercise. Of course, the above-mentioned operations may be performed while looking at the main body frame 120. When a user grips the grip part 160 and lowers it, the rotating part 140 connected to the grip part 160 rotates, and the weight part 130 connected to the connection part 150 is lifted in response to the rotation of the rotating part 140. If a change in weight is desired during exercise, the weight can be changed by adjusting the length of the connection part 150.

[0076] As described above, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the first angle adjustment unit and the second angle adjustment unit are provided based on two axes perpendicular to the grip unit, so that the handle angle can be adjusted to various angles according to the user's needs, and a grip method can be selected to perform concentrated exercises targeting specific parts of the body.

[0077] In addition, the high-low machine of one embodiment of the present invention allows users to select one-arm or two-arm movements to perform exercise, allowing for customized movements according to the purpose of the exercise. The height of the seat, the angle of the knee support, etc. can be adjusted, making it possible to accommodate a variety of user body sizes.

[0078] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to a limited embodiment and drawings, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications and variations are possible from such a description by a person having ordinary knowledge in the field to which the present invention belongs. Therefore, the present invention should be understood only by the claims set forth below, and all equivalent or similar modifications are within the scope of the present invention.
