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 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 has gradually increased.
[0003] In particular, an increasing number of people are taking up exercises such as yoga, Pilates, and health-related exercises not only for health reasons but also to shape their bodies as desired. As the number of exercise-related contents on video platforms such as YouTube (registered trademark) has increased significantly, people are now using simple exercise tools at home and exercising while watching exercise-related content, becoming a trend, without having to go out of their way to find a fitness facility and pay high fees.
[0004] However, home training has the problem that it is difficult to use equipment, which is an exercise that can burn fat throughout the body while putting a lot of strain on the muscles, and so exercises that simply involve lifting and lowering equipment many times in multiple movements are repeated.
[0005] To solve these problems, Korean Registered 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 exercises, which utilize ropes for full-body exercise, involve holding two ropes of a certain length fixed at one point with both hands while bending the knees slightly and stretching both arms forward, then swinging both arms up and down crosswise or simultaneously. This exercise 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 weight loss and providing various exercise effects including muscle building and athletic ability enhancement.
[0007] However, such full-body exercise ropes have the drawback that the amount of exercise varies depending on the length, so the exercise effect is not achieved unless the space is large, and the rope keeps hitting the floor indoors, which can cause inter-floor noise. Therefore, there is a growing need to develop exercise equipment that allows full-body exercise with simple tools even in small spaces and that allows for a variety of exercises.

[Figure 10] 1A-1C are illustrations of exercise equipment in use according to an embodiment of the present invention; MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
[0019] The present invention proposes an exercise device comprising: an elastic plate made of an elastic material having a certain length, which elastically forms waves when a user swings it up and down, providing an exercise effect similar to that of a battle rope; and a weight member provided at one end of the elastic plate, wherein the elastic plate elastically forms waves when a user grips a handle provided at the other end of the elastic plate and swings it.
[0020] The scope of the present invention is not limited to the examples 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 equipment 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 includes 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 preferably formed in the form of a strip-shaped leaf spring, which is a preferable structure for elastically forming waves, as shown in FIGS.
[0024] When a user holds 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 the end, and the magnitude of the waves can be proportional to the weight of the weight member 200.
[0026] As shown in Figures 5 and 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 and athletic ability.
[0027] For 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 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] Furthermore, 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 muscles in desired locations.
[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 can be formed in various shapes depending on the length, elastic force, 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 units 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, an 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, an elastic wave is generated in the elastic plate 100 according to the direction of the user's shaking, 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 have a handle 110 formed at the other end thereof so that a user can easily grip the elastic plate 100, and the handle 110 may be formed in a rod shape having a certain length, with one end thereof 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] In this case, there is no limitation on the method by which the handle 110 and the elastic plate 100 are joined together. 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 the length of the elastic plate 100 can be adjusted as the elastic plate 100 is partially inserted into the handle 110.
[0035] At this time, the handle 110 may have a coupling portion 111 formed at one end thereof, the coupling portion 111 having an area that narrows toward 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 the 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 in 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 inside the handle 110, is fixed through the opening formed in the connecting portion 111, thereby fixing the elastic plate 100 to the handle 110.
[0039] The shapes of the coupling part 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 part 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.
[0041] In addition, the handle 110 may have a specific pattern engraved or a protrusion formed on it to prevent the user's hand from slipping due to friction at a point where the user grips it.
[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 portion 310 that supports the ground, and a connecting portion 320 formed in an upward direction from the support portion 310. Although the support portion 310 is shown as being "U" shaped in FIGS. 2 and 9, it is preferable that the support portion 310 be 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 position spaced apart from the support 300. The connecting structure between the connecting part 320 and the handle 110 is preferably 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 perform push-up movements by grasping the handle 110 while supporting at least one push-up module on the ground.
[0046] Based on the above, in the exercise apparatus 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 interfacial noise, and elastic waves are generated depending on the direction 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 positions.
[0047] The exercise device 10 of the present invention may be easily utilized by a user to enable a variety of forms of exercise. [Explanation of symbols]
