Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to an arm and back exercise device that can strengthen the arms and back of the human body by placing the arms in the streamlined recesses at both ends of a flat platform with arm rests on the upper surface that can be swung, and by using a device that can vibrate and sway up and down and back and forth on the lower surface. [Background technology]

[0002] BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, a so-called abdominal muscle roller has been known as an exercise tool for training abdominal muscles. For example, Patent Document 1 proposes an exercise roller with grips formed on both ends of a round bar and a roller pivoted between the two grips. A stopper structure for an exercise roller with an automatic safety guard function is provided. The round bar has grips formed on both ends, and at least one roller is pivoted between the two grips of the round bar. At least one stopper member has a through-hole in the center and is fixed to the round bar through the through-hole. The stopper member has a front stop arm extending toward one end and a rear stop arm extending toward the other end, both of which are longer than the radius of the roller. It is proposed that when the roller is pushed too far or too close, the user's arm is moved up and down along with it (see Patent Document 1).

[0003] To provide an exercise tool that can be used to train any part of the body, does not place excessive strain on the shoulders or wrists, and can be easily gripped, swivel casters are attached to the bottom of the body, allowing the exercise tool to be moved in any direction within 360°, and a pair of grips are attached to the top of the body. One exercise tool that trains muscles by sliding the body on a substantially flat surface has been proposed, which includes the exercise tool body, a cushioning material attached to the top of the body, a pair of grips attached substantially perpendicular to the top of the body, and four to six rotating bodies attached to the bottom of the body, and in which the grips are held with both hands, both arms are placed on the top of the body, and the body is slid on a substantially flat surface to train muscles (see Patent Document 2).

[0004] Exercise equipment such as dumbbells, expanders, and barbells are difficult to use for children, the elderly, the sick, and injured because they are limited in how and where they can be used and can be dangerous. To address this issue, exercise equipment is equipped with a harness that can be attached to or detached from a part of the body, and an extendable device is attached to the harness. The extendable device extends or contracts by stretching or bending the arms or legs, and a gripping device is attached to the extendable device that can be grasped with the hands or placed over the legs. In such exercise equipment, a shoulder strap that can be worn over the shoulders is attached to the harness, and when the shoulder strap is worn over the shoulder, the harness can be held at a desired height. It has also been proposed that the length of the harness and / or the length of the shoulder strap can be adjusted (see Patent Document 3).

[0005] Exercising the abdominal muscles has the effect of forming a slim waistline in appearance, strengthening the core in terms of health promotion, and strengthening the function of supporting the internal organs in the correct position.To this end, an abdominal muscle training device that can train not only the rectus abdominis but also the entire abdominal muscle group, including the oblique abdominal muscles and transverse abdominis, and that is compact and can be easily used in everyday living spaces has been proposed.The abdominal muscle training device has a base with protrusions that can be placed on both thighs and held between the thighs, and is equipped with handles that can be held with both arms and attached to an extendable shaft that is connected so that it can tilt and rotate in all directions and is biased in the extension direction by a compression spring, and both ends of the handles that can be held with both arms are connected by elastic bodies to hooks on both ends of the plate-shaped base that is placed on both thighs, and the handles are biased so that they always return to the center of the base (see Patent Document 4).

[0006] An abdominal muscle exercise device that allows easy abdominal muscle training and can stably apply an equal load to the left and right abdominal muscles comprises a support base body 2 and a pressure body 3 connected to the upper ends of left and right guide rods 5 erected alongside the support base body 2, which are arranged facing each other vertically, with a coil spring 4 interposed between the support base body 2 and the pressure body 3. This abdominal muscle exercise device 1 trains the abdominal muscles when the user presses the pressure body 3 toward the support base body 2 by moving the chest and thighs closer together. With this configuration, as long as there is at least enough space to sit, abdominal muscle training can be easily performed, and since the left and right guide rods 5 allow the pressure body 3 to move up and down parallel to the support base body 2, a device has been proposed that can prevent the load on the abdominal muscles from being uneven between the left and right (see Patent Document 5).

[0007] The distance between the armrest stepping board and the wooden, stable, fixed board is over 100mm to increase the range of armrest stepping motion, allowing for up-and-down movement of over 80mm and forward-and-back movement of over 100mm. It is expected to be useful for lightly training the arms by placing the upper and forearms on it, and for placing the arms on it, as well as the joints and muscles of the back. This arm and back training device allows the arms to be placed in the streamlined recesses on both ends of the board, which is oscillated with the armrests on the upper flat base, and is vibrated and oscillated up and down and forward and backward, thereby training the arms and back of the human body.

[0008] [Patent Document 1] Registered Utility Model No. 3230751 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-272874 [Patent Document 3] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-325634 [Patent Document 4] JP 2020-81841 A [Patent Document 5] JP 2025-82772 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0009] In society, modern conveniences have led to less physical activity, and especially for the elderly, lack of exercise has become an even greater health parameter. Recently, indoor leg exercise equipment has been released on the market, and it has become popular to provide seated leg exercise equipment for elderly people who are not yet able to walk. In addition, there is a demand for equipment that can exercise and train the major organs of the body in small rooms, both as rehabilitation equipment and as equipment to help sick people recover, including the elderly. The disclosed prior art proposes compact abdominal muscle training devices, devices for training the joints and muscles of the back, and exercise devices for the muscles and joints of the arms. Generally, many of these devices are intended for young people to maintain their health and increase their physical strength, but because their operating direction is limited to one direction, they are not user-friendly when trying to train nearby muscles other than the rectus spine. However, in order to develop toned shoulders and improve health, it is important to train the muscle groups around the back. For example, there is a need for exercise devices that allow users to easily train effectively while sitting in a chair, thereby toning and improving health.

[0010] However, in the above-mentioned patent documents, for example, with rollers, the user grips the grips with their hands and extends their arms to perform the exercise, making it difficult to perform effective arm exercises without strong arm strength. Furthermore, dumbbells and barbells are heavy, so accidentally dropping them can cause injury or property damage. Expanders also only allow for the aforementioned level of exercise, and their usage is limited. Furthermore, with conventional grip-holding configurations, arm strength can easily cause left-right imbalances. Repeated application of such uneven force can cause misalignment in the vertical direction of movement, which can lead to imbalances in the load on the abdominal muscles. Therefore, the object is to provide an exercise tool that is difficult to use for children, the elderly, sick, injured, etc., and does not restrict who can use it, and that allows even elderly people and disabled people who do not have strong arm strength to exercise the muscles and joints of their major organs. [Means for solving the problem]

[0011] This arm and back exercise equipment has an upper flat plate on the top surface where the arms, including the upper arms and forearms, are placed, with the device that vibrates and moves up and down and back and front and back and left and right in the center, and a lower flat plate on the bottom surface to stably fix the vibrating and moving device, the upper plate has a length, width and shape suitable for placing both arms, and the lower flat plate can be fixed so that the vibrating and moving device does not move while in operation, and the vibrating and moving device is fixed on the top surface of the lower flat plate between the lower and upper flat plate, and the gap between the upper and lower flat plates is an operable distance of 50 to 150 mm.

[0012] The vibrating / driving device is installed at the center of the lower flat plate and is a device that can operate with random vibrations and rotations up and down, left and right, and front and back. A metal spring is fixed to the underside of the upper flat plate, and an iron plate or resin plate is attached to fix it to the top of the lower plate. Spring It is a spring-loaded vibrator that can vibrate and rotate in a range of 40 to 130 mm in vertical intervals and 40 to 150 mm in front-to-back intervals.

[0013] The upper flat plate is a flat plate material 15 to 40 mm thick, 350 to 450 mm long, and 80 to 130 mm wide, and is an arm rest plate including the upper arm and forearm, with a grooved, streamlined recessed shape at both ends that is about the width of the arm and is 80 to 110 mm in size, and both ends are streamlined slot-shaped with an inclined surface that has a grooved arm rest section with a sloped depth of 5 to 15 mm and a width of 70 to 120 mm, into which the arms can fit, and the corners at both ends of the flat plate are rounded, making it an arm rest plate that makes it easier for the arms to be fixed and increases safety.

[0014] The lower platen is a flat plate material 20 to 30 mm thick, 200 to 400 mm long, and 100 to 200 mm wide, with compression and tension springs that perform various operations fixedly installed on the top surface while maintaining stability, and one or two tension auxiliary devices that can partially adjust the operation of the upper platen can be attached to each end, and an anti-slip plate and an adjuster that can adjust the gap width of the upper and lower platen and the inclination of the platen are attached to the back, so that the gap distance with the upper platen can be stably maintained at 20 to 200 mm, and the gap can be maintained so that the top surface of the upper platen can be swung and driven up and down, front and back, left and right.

[0015] The lower plate is fitted with a main body for swinging and driving. Spring The spring vibrator has a spring steel material with a diameter of 3 to 15 mm, circular or elliptical, a compression and tension type pseudo diameter of 30 to 100 mm, 5 to 10 circular or elliptical rings, a height or length of 50 to 150 mm, and a spring constant of 5 to 50 N / mm for the repulsive force of the spring. The amount of expansion and contraction (displacement) of a spring is called "deflection," and deflection is expressed by the following formula: TIFF0003254736000011.tif2176· δ: spring deflection G: Modulus of transverse elasticity (Material specific values: Stainless steel (SUS302) is 68,500, piano (hard steel) wire is 78,500) Na: effective number of turns D: average coil diameter d: Wire diameter P: Load on the spring TIFF0003254736000012.tif5068The spring constant can be calculated using Hooke's law.

[0016] The arm and back exercise device of this invention is not difficult to use for children, the elderly, the sick, or the injured, and does not restrict who can use it. It is particularly suitable for use on a desk, providing a training device that allows elderly people, people with disabilities, and those without strong arm strength to exercise the muscles and joints of their major organs. Since it is possible to prevent misalignment between the arm rest, vibration unit, and fixed unit, it is possible to perform stable and proper arm and back training. Furthermore, it allows for easy abdominal exercises anywhere, even while watching TV or having a conversation on a table. This small, multi-functional arm and back exerciser allows you to easily and conveniently train not only your joints and muscles, but also your entire arms and back while sitting at a table or desk.
