Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a squat exercise machine using a belt, and more specifically, to a torture belt squat that enables a user to perform squat exercises by receiving a load in the up-and-down direction through a belt worn around the waist, and which combines a footplate angle adjustment function and a dip exercise function to enable various exercise movements. Background Technology

[0003] Squat machines designed for lower body strength training are generally designed to allow users to repeat the motion of bending and straightening their legs while placing a barbell on their shoulders or gripping handles. Recently, belt squat equipment, which applies a load to a belt worn around the waist, has also become widely used. These devices enable efficient weight training focused on the lower body while reducing the burden on the upper body.

[0004] However, conventional belt squat devices cause the center of gravity to shift according to the user's rotational movements, which can lead to poor posture or reduced exercise effectiveness. In particular, due to the lack of a structure capable of stably compensating for load transfer, it is often difficult for the user to maintain proper posture during heavy weight training.

[0005] Furthermore, since most squat machines provide footplates with a fixed angle, it is difficult to finely adjust the posture to suit each user's different body type, range of motion, and exercise goals. If users could selectively adjust the angle of the footplate, it would help effectively accommodate various squat postures and also help prevent injuries that may occur during exercise.

[0006] In addition, there is a growing demand to train various muscle groups simultaneously with a single piece of equipment to improve space utilization and exercise efficiency. For example, if a machine can perform not only squats focused on the lower body but also dips to strengthen the upper body, its utility can be significantly enhanced. However, most existing belt squat machines do not offer a separate dip function or lack sufficient support structures, which limits their practical use.

[0007] Therefore, research is required on a torture belt squat that integrates a counter-balance structure capable of stably maintaining the center of rotation during squat exercises, an angle adjustment structure capable of adjusting the footplate angle according to the user, and an auxiliary exercise function capable of performing dip exercises into a single device, thereby enabling stable and efficient full-body exercises suitable for various body types and purposes.

[0026] Specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. However, the concept of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments presented. Those skilled in the art who understand the concept of the present invention may easily propose other inventions that are inferior or other embodiments included within the scope of the concept of the present invention by adding, changing, or deleting other components within the same scope of the concept, and such are also to be considered to be included within the scope of the concept of the present invention.

[0027] Hereinafter, the torch belt squat of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached FIGS. 1 to 14.

[0029] FIG. 1 is a drawing illustrating a torch belt squat according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0030] Referring to FIG. 1, a torch belt squat (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a frame part (110), a load applying part (120), an exercise arm part (130), a footrest part (140), a dip footrest part (150), a locking part (160), and a dip bar (170).

[0032] The frame portion (110) can be seated on the floor surface and form a mounting space with a plurality of frames. The frame portion (110) can be examined in more detail with reference to FIG. 2.

[0033] FIG. 2 is a drawing illustrating a frame portion according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0034] Referring to FIG. 2, a frame portion (110) according to an embodiment of the present invention may include the following components to stably support the area where a user’s exercise movement takes place and to provide a structural base upon which each component can be assembled. The above frame portion (110) may include a bottom frame (111) arranged in a rectangular shape along the bottom surface, a pair of main vertical frames (112) extending vertically from the bottom frame (111), a pair of auxiliary frames (113) arranged at a distance from the rear side of the vertical frames (112) and extending parallel to them, then bent at one point and joined to one side of the upper part of the main vertical frames (112), an intermediate frame (114) that vertically connects other points of the auxiliary frames (113) to each other and secures structural rigidity, a dip bar (170) to be described later, a dip frame (115) joined to one point of the bent part of the auxiliary frames (113), and a handle portion (116) provided at one point of the pair of vertical frames (112) in an 'E' shape for the user to grip during exercise.

[0035] The frame part (110) configured in this way can provide a mounting space in which major parts such as the load applying part (120), the movement arm part (130), the footrest part (140), the deep footrest part (150), the locking part (160), and the deep bar (170) can be stably installed or rotatably coupled.

[0037] The load application unit (120) is rotatably connected to the frame unit (110) and may be formed to control the rotational balance of the exercise arm and user resistance by selectively mounting the weights, including a plurality of weight mounting positions. The load application unit (120) will be examined in more detail with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5.

[0038] FIG. 3 is a perspective view illustrating a load applying member according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 4 is a side view illustrating a load applying member according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a plan view illustrating a load applying member according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0039] Referring to FIGS. 3 to 5, a load applying member (120) according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a lower frame (121), a pair of upper support frames (122), a pair of lower support frames (123), a pair of upper weight mounting rods (124), a pair of lower weight mounting rods (125), a pair of inclined support frames (126), a connecting link bar (127), and a pair of rear weight mounting rods (128).

[0040] The lower frame (121) forms the basic frame structure of the load-applying part (120) and can be provided to support and fix the entire load structure.

[0041] Referring to FIGS. 3 to 5, the lower frame (121) is generally formed in a rectangular shape and may include a first lower frame (1211) and a second lower frame (1212) arranged in parallel. The first lower frame (1211) and the second lower frame (1212) are arranged at a certain distance apart from each other, and both sides may be independently fixed or connected to other components. This structure can serve as a foundation structure to which the upper support frame (122), lower support frame (123), inclined support frame (126), etc., described later can be fixed or rotated.

[0042] Additionally, the lower frame (121) is linked to the frame part (110) via a connecting link bar (127) and is rotatably supported, thereby providing a mechanical base that allows the entire load-applying part to tilt appropriately according to the user's load.

[0043] Additionally, a pair of upper support frames (122) may each be attached to the upper surface of the lower frame (121) as support members to support the user's load and induce rotational action.

[0044] The upper support frame (122) may be provided to extend upward at a first angle at a point on the upper surface of the first lower frame (1211) and the second lower frame (1212), respectively. At this time, the first angle may be set considering the direction in which the user load is transmitted and the relationship with the rotation center axis, and each upper support frame (122) may form a geometric basis for securing the rotation range and stability of the load application part (120).

[0045] The upper support frame (122) is configured such that an upper weight mounting rod (124), to be described later, can be attached to its upper end, and through a structure extending in the upward direction, the weight can naturally act from the upper side downward, thereby inducing torque during rotation. In this way, the upper support frame (122) can function as a main structure that enables balance control and motion resistance formation on the central axis of the load application part.

[0046] At the top of a pair of upper support frames (122), a pair of lower support frames (123) may be extended and connected to each other to induce load distribution due to rotation and to support the weight load in various directions. The lower support frames (123) may have a structure that extends forward and downward, forming a second angle at a point on the top of the upper support frames (122). At this time, the second angle may be designed considering the direction of the user load and the distribution of weight torque generated during movement with respect to the rotational center axis of the load application part (120).

[0047] A lower weight mounting rod (125), to be described later, can be attached to one end of the lower support frame (123), allowing the user to finely adjust the exercise resistance by mounting weights at various locations as needed. In particular, the lower support frame (123), together with the upper support frame (122), secures the overall frame rigidity and durability of the load application part (120) and contributes to maintaining a stable rotational structure during exercise.

[0048] An upper weight mounting rod (124) may be attached to the top of each pair of upper support frames (122) so that the user can selectively mount a weight (weight plate). The upper weight mounting rod (124) may be formed in a rod shape and arranged to protrude horizontally from the upper outer side of the upper support frame (122). This allows the user to easily insert or remove the weight plate in a sliding manner and freely adjust the desired resistance value according to the training purpose or physical fitness level. The upper weight mounting rod (124) is positioned above the center when the load application part (120) rotates, so that the rotational repulsion force generated by this acts in the opposite direction to the user's load during exercise. This arrangement acts as a kind of counter-balance against the upward movement of the exercise arm part (130), which can contribute to the user controlling force more precisely or reducing the risk of injury.

[0049] At the bottom of each of the above pair of lower support frames (123), a lower weight mounting rod (125) may be attached to allow a user to additionally mount a weight (weight plate). The lower weight mounting rod (125) is formed as a cylindrical rod portion similar to the upper weight mounting rod (124) and may be provided to protrude horizontally from the front outer side of the lower support frame (123).

[0050] The lower weight-mounting rod (125) provides a more stable balance when the load-applying part (120) rotates, and allows for multi-layered adjustment of resistance due to weight, thereby enabling more precise setting of the intensity and range of exercise. This can be a structural advantage that enables customized training according to the user's body type, proficiency, and training purpose.

[0051] A pair of inclined support frames (126) may be formed by extending at a third angle from a different point on the upper surface of the first lower frame (1211) and the second lower frame (1212), respectively. The inclined support frames (126) have a structure connected to the upper weight mounting rod (124) and can perform the role of improving the weight support stability of the load application part (120). The inclined support frames (126) are formed by extending upward in a diagonal direction from the upper surface of the lower frame (121), and the upper weight mounting rod (124) may be connected to a point on its side. Accordingly, the weight mounted on the upper weight mounting rod (124) can be stably supported not only by the lower frame (121) but also by the inclined support frames (126). In addition, the inclined support frame (126), together with the upper support frame (122) and lower support frame (123), reinforces the overall geometric structure of the load-applying part (120) and can function to minimize deformation or shaking of the rotational structure.

[0052] The connecting link bar (127) may be formed in such a way that it is provided between the rear end of the lower frame (121) and the frame part (110) to link and connect the two. Referring to FIGS. 3 to 5, the connecting link bar (127) may be connected to the rear end of the lower frame (121) and a predetermined part of the frame part (110) at a position spaced forward by a predetermined distance.

[0053] The above connecting link bar (127) is provided as a type of hinge axis or rotatable link structure, thereby ensuring the possibility of rotation of the load applying part (120) and contributing to forming a smooth and stable rotational trajectory during movement. That is, the above connecting link bar (127) induces the load applying part (120) to rotate flexibly in the direction of movement, thereby enabling the user's up-and-down movement to be implemented more efficiently. In addition, the above connecting link bar (127) can mediate the appropriate distribution of loads or impacts occurring during movement to the entire frame part (110).

[0054] The above pair of rear weight mounting rods (128) are provided at the rear of the lower frame (121) and can be formed to allow for the selective mounting of weight plates. The rear weight mounting rods (128) can each be symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the lower frame (121) and can be formed in a rod shape so that weight plates can be inserted and removed.

[0055] The rear weight mounting rod (128) allows the user to adjust the position where the weight plate is mounted, thereby enabling a counter-balance effect against the rotational force of the exercise arm (130) that occurs during exercise. That is, when the weight plate is placed on the rear weight mounting rod (128), the center of the load application part (120) moves backward during the user's downward movement, and by acting to offset the user's center of gravity, it can contribute to correcting the center of gravity and maintaining balance.

[0056] In addition, the rear weight mounting bar (128) can be used together with the upper weight mounting bar (124) and the lower weight mounting bar (125), allowing for load settings suitable for the user's skill level or purpose by adjusting the front-to-back and up-to-down distribution of weight. This configuration is particularly advantageous for reducing the risk of injury caused by center of gravity shifting during belt squat movements and maximizing exercise effects.

[0058] Referring again to FIG. 1, the exercise arm (130) is coupled to one end of the load application part (120) and can enable movement in the up and down direction through a belt fastened to the user's waist. The exercise arm (130) is examined in more detail with reference to FIG. 6.

[0059] FIG. 6 is a drawing illustrating a movement arm according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0060] Referring to FIG. 6, the movement arm (130) according to one embodiment of the present invention may be coupled to one end of the load application part (120), receive a load through a belt fastened to the user's waist, and be configured to rotate in an up-and-down direction.

[0061] The above movement arm (130) may include a fixed plate (131) provided in a plate shape, and a plurality of locking grooves (132) may be formed spaced apart in a hook shape on one side of the fixed plate (131).

[0062] The locking groove (132) is configured so that a locking member provided on the user's waist belt can be selectively engaged, thereby allowing the user to select a desired position among the locking grooves (132) to adjust the connection point of the belt during exercise. This adjustment structure changes the position of the point of application of the exercise arm (130) connected to the load application part (120), thereby allowing the center of gravity acting during exercise to be finely adjusted to suit the user's body type or exercise purpose.

[0063] For example, if the locking groove (132) is selected in the upward direction, the point of load application is raised, and the center of gravity moves relatively backward. Conversely, if the locking groove (132) in the downward direction is used, the point of load application is lowered, and the center of gravity moves forward, allowing the center of gravity to be flexibly set according to the user's conditions during exercise.

[0064] Meanwhile, a bent plate (133) extending in a bent shape may be formed at one end of the fixed plate (131), and a plurality of fixing holes (134) may be formed through the bent plate (133) so that it can be coupled to a point of the load applying part (120) through a fixing means. Through this, the movement arm (130) can be firmly coupled to the load applying part (120) and operated to rotate as a single unit.

[0066] Referring again to FIG. 1, the footrest (140) is formed on the upper front surface of the frame (110) to provide a space for a user to step on, and can be configured to allow for angle adjustment. The footrest (140) is examined in more detail with reference to FIG. 7 and FIG. 8.

[0067] FIG. 7 is a drawing illustrating a footrest portion according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 8 is a drawing illustrating the operation of a footrest portion according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0068] Referring to FIGS. 7 and 8, the footrest (140) according to one embodiment of the present invention can be configured to provide a support space where a user can stably step on the foot when performing a squat, and at the same time, the angle of the footrest can be adjusted according to the purpose of the exercise.

[0069] The above footrest portion (140) may include a footrest frame (141) fixedly installed on the front upper surface of the frame portion (110). A footrest support bracket (142) may be rotatably coupled to the footrest frame (141), and a footrest (143) may be provided on the upper surface of the footrest support bracket (142) so that a user can step directly on it.

[0070] Angle adjustment plates (144) may be installed on both sides of the footrest frame (141), and the angle adjustment plates (144) may be configured in a plate shape having a plurality of locking grooves (1441). An angle mounting rod (145) is extended and formed on the lower part of the footrest support bracket (142), and the rotation angle of the footrest (143) can be fixed by being inserted into a selected position among the locking grooves (1441). Accordingly, the user can adjust the footrest (143) to tilt forward, maintain it horizontally, or tilt backward depending on the purpose of exercise or posture, and such examples of angle adjustment can be confirmed through states (A), (B), and (C) of FIG. 8.

[0071] Additionally, an auxiliary step section (146) may be attached to the front lower side of the above-mentioned step (143). The auxiliary step section (146) is configured to provide an auxiliary stepping space to ensure stability when a user steps onto the main step (143), thereby improving accessibility for the user even when the height of the step (143) is high or inclined.

[0072] The configuration of the footrest (140) allows the angle of the footrest to be flexibly adjusted according to the user's physical condition, exercise purpose, ankle flexibility, etc., thereby improving both exercise efficiency and ease of use.

[0074] Referring again to FIG. 1, the dip footrest (150) is foldably provided at a first point of the frame (110) to provide a space for stepping on the foot during a dip exercise. The dip footrest (150) is examined in more detail with reference to FIGS. 9 to 11.

[0075] FIG. 9 is a perspective view illustrating a deep footrest in an unfolded state according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 10 is a side view illustrating a deep footrest in an unfolded state according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 11 is a side view illustrating a deep footrest in a folded state according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0076] Referring to FIGS. 9 to 11, the dip footrest (150) according to one embodiment of the present invention is structured so that a user can step on it when performing a dip exercise, and can be folded so that it can be folded when not in use.

[0077] The above-mentioned deep footrest (150) includes a deep bracket (151) fixed at a first point of the frame (110), and a deep frame (152) may be linked to the deep bracket (151) and configured to extend in the longitudinal direction. A deep link (153) is provided at the other end of the deep frame (152), and a deep support frame (154) is connected to the deep link (153) in a downward direction so as to support the lower part when the deep frame (152) is unfolded.

[0078] A dip footrest (155) is fixed to the top of the dip support frame (154), thereby providing a surface on which the user can stably step during dip exercises. Additionally, a dip footrest fixing member (156) is provided at one point of the dip frame (152), and a dip footrest fixing hole (1561) may be provided in the dip footrest fixing member (156). A dip fixing pin (157) is positioned at a third point of the frame part (110) and can fix the unfolded state of the dip footrest part (150) by being inserted into the dip footrest fixing hole (1561).

[0079] With this configuration, the user can stably step on the dip footrest (155) during the dip exercise, and after the exercise is finished, the dip frame (152) can be folded to compactly store the dip footrest section (150). A support pad (159) to increase traction may be additionally formed on the lower part of the dip footrest section (150), which can improve contact with the ground and prevent shaking during the dip exercise.

[0080] In this way, the deep footrest (150) can maximize space utilization and improve user convenience and safety by providing various exercise functions.

[0082] Referring again to FIG. 1, the locking part (160) may be provided to fix or release the position of the load applying part (120) and the movement arm part (130). The locking part (160) is examined in more detail with reference to FIG. 12.

[0083] FIG. 12 is a drawing illustrating a locking part according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0084] Referring to FIG. 12, the locking part (160) according to one embodiment of the present invention may be configured to fix or release the movement of the load applying part (120) and the exercise arm part (130) according to the user's intention. This locking part (160) is formed with a structure that ensures safety before, after, and during exercise, and allows the exercise load to be applied or released at a desired timing.

[0085] The above locking part (160) may include a pair of locking support frames (161) arranged to selectively support the lower side of the movement arm part (130). The lower ends of these locking support frames (161) are interlocked with each other by a locking support shaft (162), and the locking support shaft (162) enables rotation of the locking support frames (161) by having both ends rotatably supported by the frame part (110).

[0086] Additionally, a locking linkage shaft (163) is coupled to the inner side of a pair of locking support frames (161), and a lever link (164) can be rotatably connected to one side of the locking linkage shaft (163). The lever link (164) is configured to be rotatably supported by a lever bracket (165) fixed to one side of the frame part (110), and an operating lever (166) for user hand operation is connected to one end of the lever link (164).

[0087] When the user pulls or pushes the operating lever (166), rotation of the lever link (164) occurs, and this rotation can change the position of the locking support frame (161) through the locking linkage shaft (163). Accordingly, the lower side of the movement arm (130) can be supported to fix the movement, or the support can be released to enable free movement.

[0088] Additionally, an upper surface pad (167) may be additionally formed on the upper part of the locking support frame (161) to prevent interference with the exercise arm or load application part and to ensure stable contact. This configuration improves the user's operational convenience and safety, while also allowing for more intuitive and efficient control of the start and end times of the exercise movement.

[0090] Referring again to FIG. 1, the dip bar (170) can be foldably coupled to a second point of the frame portion (110) so as to be held by the user during a dip exercise. The operation of the dip bar (170) is examined in more detail with reference to FIG. 13.

[0091] FIG. 13 is a side view illustrating a torch belt squat with a dip bar rotated according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0092] Referring to FIG. 13, a dip bar (170) according to one embodiment of the present invention may be foldably coupled to a second point of a frame portion (110) so that a user can grasp it with their hand when performing dip exercises. The second point of the frame portion (110) may be a point of the dip frame (115). The dip bar (170) may be composed of a pair of gripping bars that extend upward. A user may perform dip exercises by moving up and down with body weight while gripping the dip bar (170), and the structure may be designed to be able to be rotated to fold or unfold as needed.

[0093] The dip bar (170) can be configured to be stored along the side of the frame or rotated backward so as to minimize interference when not in use by the user. Referring to FIG. 13, during a dip exercise, the dip bar (170) can be rotated forward and upward to be positioned at the height of the user's hand, and after the dip exercise is finished, the dip bar (170) can be rotated backward and downward to be tidied up so as not to interfere with the outer edge of the device.

[0094] This configuration allows for various exercise movements to be performed even within a limited space, and improves usability and practicality by allowing the user to select a gripping position according to their height and exercise style. Additionally, the dip bar (170) may be equipped with a locking or fastening means to be stably fixed to the frame, thereby preventing shaking or instability during exercise.

[0096] Next, the operation of a torch belt squat according to an embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIG. 14.

[0097] FIG. 14 is a side view illustrating the operation of a torch belt squat according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0098] Referring to FIG. 14, a torch belt squat device according to an embodiment of the present invention may be configured to perform a belt squat movement for training the lower body strength of a user. (A) of FIG. 14 represents a state in which the user performs a lowering movement, and (B) represents a state in which the user performs an ascending movement.

[0099] Before starting the exercise, the user can fasten a belt at a selected position among the multiple locking grooves (132) formed in the exercise arm (130), then step on the footrest (140) and assume a ready position. At this time, the exercise arm (130) is supported by a locking part (160), and the user can start a free exercise movement by moving the operating lever (166) to release the locking part (160).

[0100] After the exercise begins, when the user performs a kneeling motion, the exercise arm (130) moves in a downward direction, and accordingly, resistance can be applied to the lower body by the weight mounted on the load application part (120). Subsequently, when the user performs a standing motion using the strength of the lower body, the exercise arm (130) rotates in an upward direction, pulling the user's waist connected via a belt, and can induce a contraction exercise of the lower body muscles.

[0101] This belt squat exercise allows for effective training of the lower body without applying a direct load to the waist, and the user's posture and the area of ​​stimulation can be selectively adjusted by adjusting the angle of the footrest (140). Additionally, the position of the load can be selected and mounted to the upper, lower, or rear, allowing the difficulty and balance of the exercise to be adjusted to suit the user's purpose by changing the center of gravity.

[0102] When the exercise ends, the operating lever (166) is moved to rotate the locking support frame (161) back to its original position to support the exercise arm (130), thereby allowing the device to be maintained in a stationary state.

[0104] In addition, the torch belt squat device according to one embodiment of the present invention may be configured to perform dip exercises. The dip exercise can stimulate the user's upper body muscles, particularly the triceps and pectoralis major, by utilizing the dip bar (170) and the dip footrest (150) together.

[0105] To perform a dip exercise, the user can rotate the dip bar (170) upward to switch to an exerciseable position and unfold the dip footrest (150) formed at the first point of the frame part (110) to prepare a state where the user can step on it. FIG. 13 illustrates the state in which the dip bar (170) is rotated and switched to a position where the user can grip it.

[0106] The user can perform a repetitive up-and-down movement by stepping on the dip platform (155), gripping the dip bar (170) with both hands, lowering the body by bending the arms, and then raising the body by extending the arms. At this time, the dip support frame (154) supports the dip frame (152) from below to keep the dip platform (155) stable and to support the body weight without shaking during the exercise.

[0107] After the exercise is finished, the dip bar (170) is rotated in the direction of the frame to return it to its original position, and the dip footrest (150) can be folded and stored after removing the dip fixing pin (157). In this way, the dip configuration of the present invention enables dip exercises to be performed in conjunction with a general belt squat device, allowing the user to perform various strength exercises with a single device.

[0109] As described above, according to one embodiment of the present invention, by providing a load application unit capable of setting various weight mounting positions, the center of resistance can be adjusted according to the user's body type or purpose, thereby enabling more efficient exercise performance.

[0110] In addition, by including a footrest section that allows the angle to be adjusted according to user conditions, it can flexibly accommodate various exercise postures, and the auxiliary footrest provided at the bottom of the footrest makes it easier for the user to board the equipment.

[0111] In addition, the dip footrest and dip bar are foldable, allowing for dip exercises to be performed without separate equipment. When not in use, the device can be folded to reduce storage space, and the movement of the device can be adjusted according to the user's posture through a locking mechanism that fixes or unlocks the position of the exercise arm, thereby improving exercise stability and ease of use.

[0113] As described above, although an embodiment of the present invention has been explained by limited embodiments and drawings, the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications and variations are possible from this description by those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains. Accordingly, an embodiment of the present invention should be understood only by the claims described below, and all equivalent or analogous variations thereof shall be considered to be within the scope of the inventive concept.
