[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 7027607 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, changing equipment for each part of the body requires a large installation space. In such a situation, training must be done in a training gym or the like that has a large installation space, and even if one wants to train simply at home, for example, it is difficult to realize this.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and has an object to provide a training machine that is compact in configuration and capable of training multiple body parts. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to achieve this objective, the present invention provides a training machine having a main body extending in the vertical direction, a vertical rotation section to which first movable members extending on the left and right outer sides of the main body are attached and which is configured so that the first movable members can rotate in the vertical direction relative to the main body, a vertical resistance section that applies a predetermined load to the action of rotating the vertical rotation section upward, a horizontal rotation section to which second movable members are provided below the vertical rotation section on the main body section so as to face each other and which is configured so that the second movable members can rotate between a closing direction and an opening direction in the horizontal direction, and a lateral resistance section that applies a predetermined load to the action of rotating the horizontal rotation section in the closing direction, and which is configured to perform a first training in which the vertical rotation section is pushed upward with a foot or arm when a predetermined load is applied by the vertical resistance section, and a second training in which the horizontal rotation section is pressed in the closing direction with a foot or arm when a predetermined load is applied by the lateral resistance section.

[0007] In addition to the above-mentioned configuration, the present invention is characterized in that the vertical resistance portion includes a support member having one end attached to each of the first movable members and configured to be rotatable relative to the first movable members, a third movable member arranged above the main body portion and configured as a rod-shaped portion with an upper portion split into two, and configured to move up and down relative to the main body portion with the other end of each of the support members slidably attached to the rod-shaped portion, and a pressure generating portion arranged above the main body portion and below the third movable member and applying a predetermined load to the upward movement of the third movable member, and when performing the first training, when the vertical rotating portion is pushed upward with the foot or arm to rotate it, the support member, one end of which is supported by the vertical rotating portion, slides over the rod-shaped portion of the third movable member to reach the upper end, and then the support member presses upward against the upper end of the rod-shaped portion, and the third movable member moves upward against the load of the pressure generating portion, thereby allowing training with a predetermined load to be performed.

[0008] Furthermore, in addition to the above-mentioned configuration, the present invention is characterized in that the vertical rotation portion and the vertical resistance portion are arranged so as to be inclined at a predetermined angle toward the side where the user is located, relative to the longitudinal direction of the main body portion.

[0009] Furthermore, in addition to the above-mentioned configuration, the present invention is characterized in that the main body unit is a training machine having a height adjustment unit that adjusts the up-down position of the vertical rotation unit and / or the horizontal rotation unit.

[0010] In addition to the above-mentioned configuration, the present invention is characterized in that the vertically rotating part has a locking means for stopping the rotation of the vertically rotating part and fixing it in a fixed position.

[0011] Furthermore, in addition to the above-mentioned configuration, the present invention is characterized in that the vertical rotation section is composed of two plate members arranged parallel to each other with a gap therebetween, and the two plate members are secured by a pin so that they rotate as a unit.

[0012] In addition to the above-mentioned configuration, the present invention is characterized in that the training machine is such that the horizontal rotation part is composed of two plate-shaped members connected via a rotation axis, the lateral resistance part is composed of a torsion coil spring centered on the rotation axis and is in a state of being biased in the opening direction, the horizontal rotation part is configured to open by the biasing force of the lateral resistance part in the opening direction, and a stopper is provided near the end of the horizontal rotation part opposite the rotation axis to restrict the movement of the plate-shaped member in the opening direction at a predetermined position. Effect of the Invention

[0014] Furthermore, according to the present invention, the configuration of the body part for performing the first training and the configuration of the body part for performing the second training are arranged separately, so that they can be moved independently without interfering with each other.

[0015] Furthermore, according to the present invention, the vertical rotation portion and the vertical resistance portion are arranged so as to be inclined at a predetermined angle toward the side where the user is positioned relative to the longitudinal direction of the main body portion, so that the configuration can be adapted to the angle at which the user raises their leg, making it easier to train.

[0016] Furthermore, according to the present invention, the main body can be adjusted in the vertical direction, so that the position can be adjusted to suit the user's needs for training.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0021] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0022] 1 to 10 show an embodiment of the present invention.

[0023] The configuration of the training machine 10 of this embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 10. As shown in Figures 1 and 7, the training machine 10 of this embodiment includes a substantially rod-shaped or cylindrical main body 20, a vertical rotation section 30 having first movable members 32 extending outwardly to the left and right of the main body 20, a vertical resistance section 40 that applies a predetermined load to the operation of rotating the vertical rotation section 30 upward, a horizontal rotation section 50 having a plate-shaped member 51 as a second movable member, and a horizontal resistance section 60 that applies a predetermined load to the operation of rotating the horizontal rotation section 50 in the closing direction.

[0024] The vertical rotation unit 30 and the vertical resistance unit 40 can be used to perform a first training in which the legs or arms are lifted, and the horizontal rotation unit 50 and the horizontal resistance unit 60 can be used to perform a second training in which the legs or arms are pressed in the closing direction. Each configuration will be described in detail below. In the following, the vertical rotation unit 30 and the vertical resistance unit 40 used in the first training will be collectively referred to as the first training unit 11, and the horizontal rotation unit 50 and the horizontal resistance unit 60 used in the second training will be collectively referred to as the second training unit 12.

[0025] First, the main body 20 will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0026] The main body 20 in this embodiment is a member having a generally rod-like or cylindrical elongated shape extending in the vertical direction, and serves as a member for supporting the first training section 11, the second training section 12, and other parts. Here, the main body 20 is configured such that the outside of the cylindrical lower main body 21 is fitted with the cylindrical upper main body 22, and the lower main body 21 is fixed to a generally planar base 23. Here, the first training section 11 and the second training section are disposed on the upper main body 22, and the second training section 12 is disposed below the first training section 11. Here, the base 23 has a moving means that can be used when transporting the training machine 10, and in particular, wheels 25 are provided that are configured to come into contact with the ground and act when the entire training machine 10 is tilted during transportation.

[0027] A height adjustment unit 24 is provided between the lower body portion 21 and the upper body portion 22, and allows the space between the lower body portion 21 and the upper body portion 22 to be expanded or contracted depending on the user's sitting height, the manner of use, etc. Here, a height adjustment mechanism using a gas cylinder is used as the height adjustment unit 24, and when a lever or button (not shown) is operated, the space between the lower body portion 21 and the upper body portion 22 moves in the expanding direction, and the height position becomes higher. Also, by pressing the lower body portion 21 and the upper body portion 22 in the contracting direction while operating the lever or button, the space between the lower body portion 21 and the upper body portion 22 moves in the contracting direction, and the height position becomes lower.

[0028] These are used to adjust the positions of the first training section 11 and the second training section 12. The second training section 12 may be disposed in the lower main body section 21, in which case the height position of the horizontally rotating section 50 cannot be adjusted by the height adjustment section 24.

[0029] Next, the first training section 11 for performing the first training will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6, 8 and 10. FIG.

[0030] As described above, the first training section 11 of this embodiment is configured to have the vertical rotation section 30 and the vertical resistance section 40. This first training section 11 is used for performing the thigh-raising exercise as shown in FIG. 8 as the first training. Although not shown, it is also configured to be used for the exercise of raising the arms by placing the arms below the first training section 11. The vertical rotation section 30 and the vertical resistance section 40 of this embodiment are arranged so as to be inclined at a predetermined angle (25° in this case, but the angle may be appropriate) toward the side where the user is positioned with respect to the longitudinal direction of the main body section 20. This angle may be configured to be adjustable by a rotation mechanism or the like. In this way, it can be adjusted appropriately according to the body shape, bone structure, etc. of the user, and adjusted to a state that is easy for each user to train.

[0031] 1 and 3, the vertical rotation section 30 of the first training section 11 is provided on the upper part of the upper main body section 22 of the main body section 20, a fixed member 31 extending in the left-right direction is fixed to the upper main body section 22, and a long, thin plate-like first movable member 32 is disposed to extend outward to the left and right relative to the fixed member 31 via a rotation section 35 and is disposed rotatably in the up-down direction. The first movable member 32 in this embodiment is composed of two plate members 33, which are fixed to each other by a pin 34 so that they rotate together at the same time.

[0032] 1, 4 and 5, the vertical resistance portion 40 of this embodiment has a support member 41 attached at one end to each of the first movable members 32 and configured to be rotatable relative to the first movable members. Also, the vertical resistance portion 40 has a third movable member 42 arranged above the main body portion 20, configured as a rod-shaped portion 43 with an upper portion split into two, and configured to move up and down relative to the main body portion 20 with the other end of each support member 41 slidably attached to the rod-shaped portion 43 by a ring or the like. Also, the vertical resistance portion 40 has a pressure generating portion 44 arranged above the main body portion 20 and below the third movable member 42, and applying a predetermined load to the upward movement of the third movable member 42.

[0033] When performing the first training, the vertical rotation part 30 is pushed upward and rotated with the foot or arm, and the support member 41, one end of which is supported by the vertical rotation part 30, slides over the rod-shaped part 43 of the third movable member 42 to reach the upper end, and then the support member 41 presses upward against the upper end of the rod-shaped part 43, causing the third movable member 42 to move upward against the load of the pressure generating part 44, thereby enabling training with a predetermined load to be performed.

[0034] In this embodiment, a hydraulic device is used as the pressure generating unit 44, and the pressure can be adjusted appropriately. In addition, it is preferable to provide a biasing means such as a compression spring as a mechanism for instantly pushing down the first movable member 32 of the vertical rotation unit 30 once it has been lifted upward. This biasing means may be provided at a position for pushing down the first movable member 32, at a position for pushing down the third movable member 42, or at a position for pushing down the support member 41. However, providing biasing means on both sides of the members makes it easier to instantly return the first movable member 32 to its original position, which makes it easier to move on to the next movement in training and improves the agility of the user.

[0035] Also, the hydraulic device of the pressure generating portion 44 may be provided independently on each side, and the third movable member 42, the rod-shaped portion 43, the support member 41, and the first movable member 32 connected thereto may be provided separately on each side, forming a completely independent configuration. In this case, lifting one first movable member 32 does not act on the other first movable member 32, so that the movements can be completely separated.

[0036] The biasing means for pressing down the first movable member 32 is not limited to the compression spring described above, and other biasing means may be used as appropriate.

[0037] Also, a load may be applied when pushing the legs or arms down. This allows training for both lifting and pushing down. In this case, a fixing means such as a belt for fixing the legs (thighs) or arms to the first movable member 32 is required.

[0038] In addition, this first training section 11 is configured so that by using a locking means (not shown) (for example, a pin that stops the movement of the first movable member 32 can be inserted near the rotating section 35 to lock it, or any other suitable means will do), the vertical rotating section 30 can be stopped from rotating upwards, and the user can hook his / her feet to secure it in place and perform exercises such as abdominal exercises.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 6 and other figures, a cover 70 may be provided to cover the first training section 11. As shown in FIG.

[0040] Next, the second training section 12 for carrying out the second training will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0041] As described above, the second training section 12 of this embodiment is configured to perform the second training in which the lateral rotation section 50, with a predetermined load applied by the lateral resistance section 60, is pressed in the closing direction with the foot or arm.

[0042] 7, the horizontal rotation portion 50 of this embodiment is composed of two plate-like members 51 connected via a rotation shaft. The plate-like members 51 preferably have cushioning properties. However, they may not have cushioning properties.

[0043] The lateral resistance portion 60 is formed of a torsion coil spring centered on a rotation shaft 61, and is biased in the opening direction (to the left and right outward directions in FIG. 7). The lateral rotation portion 50 is configured to open by the biasing force of the lateral resistance portion 60 in the opening direction, and a stopper 62 is provided near the end of the lateral rotation portion 50 opposite the rotation shaft 61 to restrict the movement of the plate-like member 51 in the opening direction at a predetermined position. This allows the second training to be performed with a compact configuration as shown in FIG. 9.

[0044] As described above, according to this embodiment, the first training using the vertical rotation section 30 and the vertical resistance section 40 and the second training using the horizontal rotation section 50 and the horizontal resistance section 60 can be performed with a single device, and muscle training of multiple parts of the body can be performed with a compact configuration.

[0045] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the body part configuration for the first training and the body part configuration for the second training are arranged separately, so they can be moved independently without interfering with each other.

[0046] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the vertical rotation portion 30 and the vertical resistance portion 40 are arranged so as to be inclined at a predetermined angle toward the side where the user is positioned relative to the longitudinal direction of the main body portion 20, so that the configuration can be adapted to the angle at which the user raises their leg, making it easier to train.

[0047] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, since the main body 20 can be adjusted in the vertical direction, it can be adjusted to a position that is convenient for the user to train.

[0048] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, since the vertically rotating portion 30 has a locking means for stopping the rotation and fixing it in a fixed position, it can also be used for training such as abdominal exercises where the feet are fixed.

[0049] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the vertical rotation section 30 is composed of two plate members 33 arranged in parallel, so that a stable rotation mechanism can be achieved with a compact configuration, and training can be performed in a safer environment.

[0050] In addition, according to this embodiment, the horizontal rotation section 50 is composed of two plate-shaped members 51 connected via a rotation axis, the lateral resistance section 60 is composed of a torsion coil spring centered on the rotation axis 61 and is in a state where it is biased in the opening direction, and the horizontal rotation section 50 is configured to open by the biasing force of the lateral resistance section 60 in the opening direction, and a stopper is provided near the end of the horizontal rotation section 50 opposite the rotation axis 61 to restrict the movement of the plate-shaped member 51 in the opening direction at a predetermined position, so that the second training can be performed reliably with a simple configuration.

[0051] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but can be applied to other configurations and other usage situations.

[0052] For example, in the above-described embodiment, a hydraulic device was used for the vertical resistance portion 40, but this is not limited to this, and a biasing means such as a spring may be used, or a combination of hydraulic pressure and a spring may be used, or a similar configuration may be formed using other devices such as a gas pressure device.

[0053] Moreover, the lateral resistance portion 60 may be configured by hydraulic pressure, gas pressure, or other means other than the spring.

[0054] In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the configuration is such that the first training and the second training can be performed, but this is not limited to this, and a configuration that allows for further training may also be added. [Explanation of symbols]
