Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0017] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 to 13. However, the following embodiments for implementation are described as an example of the gear-type exercise equipment of the present invention and are not limited to the figures in this description.

[0018] FIG. 1 is a front view of the gear-type exercise equipment of the present invention. The gear-type exercise equipment 1 is composed of a concave surface 2a and a convex surface 3a. The concave surface 2a is shaped to fit a finger or a toe. The convex surface 3a is a convex surface for stimulating the palm while pressing the palm.

[0019] FIG. 2 is a rear view of the gear-type exercise equipment of the present invention. The gear-type exercise equipment 1 is composed of a concave surface 2e and a convex surface 3e. The concave surface 2e is shaped to fit a finger or a toe. The convex surface 3e is a convex surface for stimulating the palm while pressing the palm.

[0020] FIG. 3 is a right side view of the gear-type exercise equipment of the present invention. The gear-type exercise equipment 1 is composed of concave surfaces 2g, 2h and a convex surface 3g. The diameter, thickness, and size of the concave surface can be of any size. The convex surface is a convex surface for stimulating the entire palm, and the size is arbitrary. Also, the concave surface and the convex surface may have different sizes.

[0021] FIG. 4 is a left side view of the gear-type exercise equipment of the present invention. It is composed of concave surfaces 2c, 2d and a convex surface 3c. The concave surfaces 2c, 2d are sized to fit a finger and a toe respectively.

[0022] Figure 5 is a plan view of the gear-type exercise equipment of the present invention. It is composed of concave surfaces 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, 2e, 2f, 2g, 2h and convex surfaces 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d, 3e, 3f, 3g, 3h. The concave surfaces 2a to 2h formed on the outer edge of the gear-type equipment 1 are shaped to fit the fingers. Also, the concave surfaces 2a to 2h and the convex surfaces 3a to 3h may have different sizes respectively. For example, in Figure 5, there are 8 concave surfaces. The five fingers of one hand can be inserted and gripped adjacent to each concave surface respectively. Then, move the thumb or little finger to the adjacent concave surface and insert and grip it. After that, move the other four fingers while rotating them in the direction where the thumb or little finger was moved, and move the concave surfaces as if passing them with the fingers. With 8 concave surfaces, it is also possible to move the fingers skipping two concave surfaces. Skipping two concave surfaces means that the space between each finger can be opened wide.

[0023] Figure 6 is a bottom view of the gear-type exercise equipment of the present invention. It is composed of concave surfaces 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, 2e, 2f, 2g, 2h and convex surfaces 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d, 3e, 3f, 3g, 3h.

[0024] Figure 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line A-A of the gear-type exercise equipment 1 of the present invention. It is composed of an upper surface 4 and a bottom surface 5. The upper surface 4 has a shape that rises like a mountain compared to the flat bottom surface 5. By using it with the palm side facing, the palm can be pressed and the muscles of the palm can be stimulated. However, the upper surface 4 may also be flat like the bottom surface 5. Also, the lower surface 5 can draw a curve like a mountain similar to the upper surface 4.

[0025] Figures 8 and 9 show examples of the use of the gear-type exercise device 1 of the present invention. Movements such as gripping with fingers, opening fingers, contracting fingers, and rotating with fingers can be performed. For example, fit the thumb into 2b, fit the index finger into 2d, fit the middle finger into 2e, fit the ring finger into 2f, fit the little finger into 2g, and open and grip the fingers respectively. Then, the thumb can be moved to 2c, the index finger to 2e, the middle finger to 2f, the ring finger to 2g, and the little finger to 2h respectively. At this time, it is important to move while rotating the gear-type exercise device of the present invention by engaging the fingers with the concave surface like a gear. Thereby, the muscles between the fingers can be stimulated, and movements can be made from the fingers to the wrists, elbows, and shoulders, and loads can be applied to the muscles of the fingers, the inner muscles of the arms, and the entire upper body. Also, at the same time as moving the finger to the adjacent concave surface, the palm can be evenly pressed against the convex surfaces from 3a to 3h, and a finger pressure effect can also be expected.

[0026] Figures 10 and 11 show examples of the use of the gear-type exercise device 1 of the present invention. The space between the index finger and the middle finger can be opened, and flexible finger movements can be performed. By opening and stretching the fingers, it becomes possible to improve the range of motion of the fingers and the palm. In this case, it is important to use the gear-type exercise device while rotating it. Also, for example, depending on the position of the gripping finger joint, such as movements using the first joint of the finger to rotate, movements using the second joint of the finger to rotate, and movements using the space between the fingers to rotate, the muscles of the palm and the moving arm are different, and uniform muscle movement can be achieved. Also, the positions for pressing the palm are different, and the fingers and the palm can be stimulated throughout.

[0027] Although the usage examples only specify examples of movements with fingers, it is also possible to perform movements such as placing the sole of the foot on the upper surface 4 and opening and contracting the toes. Blood flow promotion, activation of motor nerves, etc. can be promoted by pressing the sole of the foot.

[0028] Figure 12 shows a second embodiment of the gear-type exercise equipment 1 of the present invention. The gear-type exercise equipment 10 is composed of a concave surface 12a and a convex surface 13a. For example, in addition to 12a, five concave surfaces are formed in Figure 8. In total, six concave surfaces are formed. This means that when each finger is inserted into the concave surface using five fingers, there is one extra concave surface. This extra concave surface is for enabling the finger to smoothly and surely move to the next concave surface, and for ensuring that the finger can move to the adjacent concave surface.

[0029] Figure 13 shows a third embodiment of the gear-type exercise equipment 1 of the present invention. The gear-type exercise equipment 20 is composed of a concave surface 22a and a convex surface 23a. By attaching two exercise equipment of the same shape, a cavity can be formed inside, and it becomes possible to enclose an instrument for vibrating the main body inside. By applying vibration to the finger, it is also possible to perform muscle tightening and the like.

Industrial Applicability

[0030] By performing exercises such as opening and closing the fingers and toes, twisting the fingers to turn the equipment, and pressing the palm or the sole of the foot, it promotes the prevention of physical decline due to aging and lack of exercise.
