Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to an exercise device, and more particularly to an exercise device formed from an elastic plate that can provide an exercise effect similar to that of a battle rope by swinging the exercise device up and down. [Background technology]
[0002] 2. Description of the Related Art Recently, as interest in health has increased, the number of people exercising to manage their health is gradually increasing.
[0003] In particular, an increasing number of people are doing exercises such as yoga, pilates, and health exercises not only for health but also to shape their bodies as desired, and as the number of exercise-related contents on video platforms such as YouTube (registered trademark) has increased significantly, it has become a trend for people to do home training by preparing simple exercise tools at home and exercising while watching exercise-related contents, without having to go out of their way to find exercise facilities and pay high costs.
[0004] However, home training has the problem that it is difficult to use equipment to perform exercises that can burn fat all over the body while putting a lot of strain on the muscles, so exercises that simply involve lifting and lowering equipment multiple times in multiple movements are repeated.
[0005] To solve these problems, Korean Utility Model Publication No. 20-0484830 (hereinafter referred to as the "cited invention") discloses a full-body exercise rope that can be used at home while increasing the durability of the rope.
[0006] Battle rope exercise, which uses a rope for full-body exercise, is an exercise in which two ropes of a certain length are fixed at one point and held with both hands while bending knees slightly and stretching both arms forward, and then both arms are swung up and down crosswise or simultaneously. It not only builds muscle resistance, but also works the entire body including the abdomen, arms, and shoulders to increase muscle strength and improve cardiovascular function, making it useful for dieting and providing various exercise effects including muscle building and athletic ability improvement.
[0007] However, such a type of full-body exercise rope has the drawback that the amount of exercise varies depending on the length, so if the space to exercise is not large, the exercise effect is not achieved, and if indoors, the rope keeps hitting the floor, which can cause inter-floor noise. Therefore, there is an increasing need to develop exercise equipment that allows full-body exercise with simple tools even in a small space and allows various exercises.

[Figure 10] 1A-1C are illustrative diagrams illustrating the use of exercise equipment in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THEINVENTION
[0019] In the present invention, an exercise device is proposed, which includes an elastic plate made of an elastic material having a certain length, and when a user swings it up and down, elastic waves are formed, providing an exercise effect similar to that of a battle rope, and a weight member provided at one end of the elastic plate, and when a user grasps a handle provided at the other end of the elastic plate and swings it, the elastic plate elastically forms waves.
[0020] The scope of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below, and may be modified in various ways by a person skilled in the art without departing from the technical gist of the present invention.
[0021] The exercise machine of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying Figs.
[0022] As shown in Figures 5 to 7, the exercise device 10 of the present invention can include an elastic plate 100 made of an elastic material having a certain length, a weight member 200 provided at one end of the elastic plate 100, and a handle 110 provided at the other end of the elastic plate 100.
[0023] The shape of the elastic plate 100 is not limited, but it is preferable that the elastic plate 100 be formed in the form of a band-shaped leaf spring, which has a preferable structure for elastically forming waves as shown in Figs.
[0024] When a user grasps the handle 110 provided at the other end of the elastic plate 100 and shakes it up and down, the elastic plate 100 elastically forms waves in the direction of one end, and the elastically formed waves can become larger depending on the width of the user's shaking.
[0025] In addition, the weight member 200 provided at one end of the elastic plate 100 can increase the magnitude of the waves elastically formed in the direction of one end, and the magnitude of the waves can be proportional to the weight of the weight member 200 .
[0026] As shown in Figures 5 to 6, the weight member 200 is provided at one end of the elastic plate 100, and can be detachably connected to one end of the elastic plate 100 so that weight members 200 of different weights can be used alternately depending on the user's condition or athletic ability.
[0027] As an example, when an elderly person with weak muscles uses the elastic plate 100, the weight member 200 can be separated from the elastic plate 100 so that the elastic plate 100 can be used alone without the weight member 200. When an experienced person uses the elastic plate 100, the weight member 200 can be separated from the elastic plate 100 and then the heavier weight member 200 can be attached to one end of the elastic plate 100 so that the person can exercise using a weight member 200 that is heavier than the standard weight member 200.
[0028] In addition, the weight member 200 can be moved in the longitudinal direction of the elastic plate 100 to move the center of gravity of the elastic plate 100. As a result, even if the same weight member 200 is used, the change in the center of gravity of the elastic plate 100 allows the user to stimulate the muscles of the desired part.
[0029] Although the weight member 200 is formed in a round shape in FIGS. 2 to 8, it is not limited to a particular shape or material, and may be formed in a variety of shapes depending on the length, elasticity, and width of the elastic plate 100 .
[0030] In addition, the weight member 200 may be formed with a certain weight that can be converted into a unit of measurement, such as kg or pounds, and as described above, weight members 200 of different weights may be used alternately depending on the user's condition and athletic ability.
[0031] Based on the above, the elastic plate 100 made of an elastic material having a certain length is provided with a weight member 200 at one end, and when a user holds the other end of the elastic plate 100 and shakes it, the elastic plate 100 generates elastic waves according to the direction in which the user shakes, and the user's body can be given an exercise effect similar to that of a battle rope.
[0032] 5 to 8, the elastic plate 100 may be formed with a handle 110 at the other end so that a user can easily hold the elastic plate 100, and the handle 110 may be formed in a rod shape having a certain length, with one end being detachably connected to the other end of the elastic plate 100. In this case, the shape of the handle 110 is described as a rod, but the shape is not limited thereto.
[0033] At this time, there is no limitation on the method by which the handle 110 and the elastic plate 100 are joined. For example, a male thread may be formed at one end of the handle 110 and a female thread may be formed at the elastic plate 100, and one end of the handle 110 may be inserted into the other end of the elastic plate 100 to fasten them together.
[0034] As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the handle 110 has an empty space formed therein, and as the elastic plate 100 is partially inserted into the handle 110, the length of the elastic plate 100 can be adjusted.
[0035] At this time, the handle 110 may have a coupling portion 111 formed at one end, the area of which becomes narrower as it faces one end.
[0036] The coupling portion 111 formed on the handle 110 has an opening into which the elastic plate 100 can be inserted in an empty space formed inside the handle 110, and when the elastic plate 100 is inserted into the opening, the opening can press the elastic plate 100.
[0037] Additionally, the handle 110 may include a fastener 112 for fixing the position of the elastic plate 100 inserted through the entrance into the open interior space.
[0038] The inside of the fixing device 112 is formed into a shape corresponding to the outside of the connecting portion 111 of the handle 110, and can press the opening of the connecting portion 111 by fastening to the connecting portion 111 so that the elastic plate 100, which is partially inserted into the inside of the handle 110 through the opening formed in the connecting portion 111, is fixed, thereby fixing the elastic plate 100 to the handle 110.
[0039] The shapes of the coupling portion 111 and the fastener 112 may be formed in various shapes, and the coupling structure in which the elastic plate 100 is fixed by fastening the coupling portion 111 and the fastener 112 is not limited.
[0040] In addition, the elastic plate 100 can be inserted toward the other end of the separated handle 110, and a stopper 113 is formed at the other end of the elastic plate 100 to prevent the elastic plate 100 from being ejected beyond a certain length, as shown in FIG. 7.
[0041] In addition, the handle 110 may have a specific pattern engraved or a protrusion formed thereon to prevent the user's hand from slipping due to friction at a point where the user grips the handle.
[0042] In this case, the shape and pattern formed on the handle 110 to prevent friction are not limited.
[0043] 2 to 4 and 8 to 9, the support body 300 may include a support part 310 that supports the ground, and a connecting part 320 formed in an upward direction from the support part 310. Although the support part 310 is shown to be "U" shaped in Figs. 2 and 9, it is preferable that the support part 310 is formed in a shape that allows it to be stably supported on the ground, and the shape is not limited thereto.
[0044] The connecting part 320 may be formed to extend upward from one end of the support part 310 and may be detachably connected to the handle 110 in a lying state disposed at a distance from the support body 300. It is preferable that the connection structure between the connecting part 320 and the handle 110 is a screw connection structure that is easy to connect and can withstand a certain amount of load.
[0045] The handle 110 coupled to the support 300 can be used as a push-up module, as shown in FIG. 9, and a user can grasp the handle 110 while supporting at least one push-up module on the ground to perform a push-up motion.
[0046] Based on the above, in the exercise device 10 of the present invention, the handle 110 connected to the other end of the elastic plate 100 can be detachably connected to the support 300 and the elastic plate 100. When only the handle 110 and the elastic plate 100 are connected, it can be used in a small space while preventing inter-layer noise, and elastic waves are formed according to the direction in which the user swings, providing the user with an exercise effect similar to that of a battle rope. When only the handle 110 and the support 300 are connected, it can be used as a push-up module to enable push-ups in various postures.
[0047] The exercise device 10 of the present invention may be readily utilized by a user to enable a variety of forms of exercise. [Explanation of symbols]
