Background Technology

[0003] Generally, various exercise equipment is used in gyms and fitness facilities to perform shoulder press and incline press exercises. Shoulder press exercises are primarily intended to strengthen the shoulder area, while incline press exercises are intended to strengthen the upper chest area more intensively. Accordingly, in the past, separate exercise equipment corresponding to each exercise purpose was provided, or composite exercise equipment capable of implementing multiple exercise postures through certain angle adjustment functions has been proposed.

[0004] However, conventional shoulder press and incline press exercise machines had limitations in precisely implementing the optimal exercise posture based on the user's body type, arm length, shoulder position, and upper body tilt. In particular, there were issues where it was difficult to effectively perform both shoulder and upper chest exercises with the same machine because the height and tilt adjustments of the body-supporting components were insufficient, and it was difficult to vary the starting position and range of motion of the exercise parts. Additionally, the transition between the standby state and the actual exercise state was inconvenient, and the fixed grip angle of the handles posed a possibility of strain on the wrist or shoulder joints depending on the user.

[0005] Therefore, research is required on a shoulder-upper chest exercise device capable of adjusting the user's body support position and angle, selectively switching the mounting state of the rotational movement part, and adjusting the gripping angle of the handle part. Prior art literature

[0025] 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.

[0026] Hereinafter, the shoulder-upper chest exercise device (100) of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached FIGS. 1 to 7.

[0028] FIG. 1 is a drawing illustrating a shoulder-upper chest exercise device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0029] Referring to FIG. 1, a shoulder-upper chest exercise device (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a frame part (110), a footrest part (120), a support part (130), a pair of rotational movement parts (140), a mounting part (150), and a handle part (160).

[0031] The frame portion (110) may be provided with a base frame (111) positioned to contact the ground and a pair of standing frames (112) positioned to stand upright and spaced apart on the upper surface of the base frame (111). The frame portion (110) will be examined in more detail with reference to FIG. 2.

[0032] FIG. 2 is a drawing illustrating a frame portion according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0033] Referring to FIG. 2, the frame portion (110) is a component forming the overall skeleton of the present invention and may include a base frame (111) that stably contacts the ground and a standing frame (112) that is erected on the upper surface of the base frame (111). The frame portion (110) may support the load generated during the user's exercise and provide a reference structure to which other components, such as a support portion (130), a rotational movement portion (140), and a mounting portion (150), can be stably connected. Additionally, the frame portion (110) may be provided with a structure having rigidity to effectively disperse the load and impact acting during the process of repeatedly performing shoulder exercises and upper chest exercises.

[0034] The base frame (111) is positioned to contact the ground and can support the lower part of the present invention. The base frame (111) may have a structure extending forward and backward, and may be formed to have a sufficient area and width to prevent the entire exercise equipment from tipping over or shaking. Additionally, the base frame (111) may have a footrest (120) positioned at the front, a support part (130) positioned at the center, and a plurality of connection points so that a standing frame (112) and a mounting part (150) can be connected to the rear or upper area.

[0035] The standing frame (112) may be provided as a pair of frames spaced apart and standing upright on the upper surface of the base frame (111). The standing frame (112) may provide a support structure to which the rotational movement part (140) is coupled so that it can rotate, and may also serve as a reference frame to which an angle fixing unit (137) for adjusting the upper angle of the support part (130) is coupled. The standing frame (112) may be configured as a pair to secure the rigidity of the upper structure while maintaining the left-right balance of the entire device.

[0036] The above-mentioned standing frame (112) may include a main standing frame (1121), an inclined standing frame (1122), a reinforcing standing frame (1123), a horizontal connecting frame (1124), and a weight-bearing portion (1125). The main standing frame (1121) may be provided as a main support member that extends upward from the rear or both rear end regions of the base frame (111) and stands upright. The main standing frame (1121) may function as a reference frame that provides a position to which the rotation axis of the rotational movement portion (140) is coupled, or forms the height of the upper structure. Additionally, the main standing frame (1121) may be provided in a frame shape with one point bent.

[0037] The inclined standing frame (1122) is provided to extend upwardly in an inclined manner from the middle region of the base frame (111) and can be connected to the main standing frame (1121) or the upper side frame. The inclined standing frame (1122) can distribute the load transmitted from the bottom to the top and contribute to supporting the front-rear moment generated during movement. In addition, the inclined standing frame (1122) can structurally connect the front and rear of the frame section (110) to improve overall rigidity.

[0038] The reinforcing standing frame (1123) may be provided to be connected to an adjacent area of ​​the main standing frame (1121) to reinforce the frame strength. The reinforcing standing frame (1123) can distribute the load acting on the main standing frame (1121) and suppress twisting or deformation caused by repetitive movement. Accordingly, the durability and stability of the standing frame (112) can be improved.

[0039] The horizontal connecting frame (1124) can be extended horizontally to connect the standing frame structures positioned on the left and right sides. The horizontal connecting frame (1124) can maintain a constant distance between the left and right frames and can provide a reference so that the rotating movement part (140) or the support part (130) can be positioned in an aligned state. Additionally, the horizontal connecting frame (1124) can suppress left-right twisting to increase the structural stability of the frame part (110) during movement.

[0040] The weight mounting portion (1125) may be formed to protrude from one or both sides of the standing frame (112) so that weight plates can be selectively mounted. The weight mounting portion (1125) may perform the function of storing unused weight plates and may provide accessibility so that weight plates can be easily mounted or removed before and after exercise. In addition, the weight mounting portion (1125) may also contribute to stably maintaining the center of gravity of the entire exercise equipment by distributing weight plates on the frame portion (110).

[0042] Referring again to FIG. 1, the footrest (120) may be formed on the front upper surface of the base frame (111) so that the user's foot can be supported. The footrest (120) may provide a reference point where the user can stably position their foot while riding on the exercise equipment or assuming an exercise posture. Accordingly, the user can maintain body balance more stably during exercise and effectively secure the support force transmitted from the lower body while pushing the rotational movement part (140).

[0043] The footrest (120) may be spaced apart as a pair on the left and right, or may be provided with multiple support areas on which each of the user's feet can rest. As the footrest (120) is positioned in front of the base frame (111) in this manner, the user can naturally position their feet forward while sitting or leaning on the support (130), and can more easily set the initial exercise posture. Additionally, the footrest (120) may have irregularities, patterns, anti-slip protrusions, or friction-enhancing means formed on its surface to prevent the user's feet from slipping.

[0044] The footrest (120) can perform the function of supporting body weight when the user steps on and off the equipment while in the exercise standby state, and can stably support the user's lower body while in the exercise state to help facilitate smooth upper body-centered press movements. In particular, since the exercise equipment according to one embodiment of the present invention can be used for incline press exercises as well as shoulder exercises, the footrest (120) can be formed to have an appropriate front-to-back position and width so as to provide stable support even if the position of the feet changes according to the user's posture change.

[0045] Additionally, the footrest (120) can be combined integrally or separately with the front structure of the frame (110), and can be firmly fixed to the base frame (111) through a reinforcing plate or a connecting bracket as needed. Accordingly, deformation or shaking of the footrest (120) can be suppressed even under loads applied during repetitive exercise, and can contribute to improving the stability of use of the entire exercise equipment.

[0047] The support member (130) is positioned between the pair of standing frames (112) to support the user's body, and can be configured to allow for adjustment of angle and height. The support member (130) is examined in more detail with reference to FIG. 3.

[0048] FIG. 3 is a drawing illustrating a support member according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0049] Referring to FIG. 3, a support member (130) according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a support frame (131), an upper body support member (132), a hip support (133), a pair of lower position rails (134), a lower position adjustment member (135), an upper angle adjustment link (136), and an angle fixing unit (137). The support member (130) may form a basic structure that stably supports the user's body, and at the same time, may be provided so that the height and tilt angle can be adjusted in various ways according to the user's body type or exercise posture. Accordingly, the support member (130) may correspond not only to a posture for performing shoulder exercises but also to a posture for performing incline press exercises, and may allow the user to assume a more natural exercise posture.

[0050] The support frame (131) may be provided as a main support structure that is positioned upright between the pair of standing frames (112). The support frame (131) may function as a reference frame to which an upper body support member (132) is attached to the upper part and a buttock support (133) is attached to the middle or lower area. Additionally, the support frame (131) may be formed such that its lower end is connected to a pair of lower position rails (134) via a lower position adjustment member (135), and its upper end is connected to an upper angle adjustment link (136) to allow the tilt angle to be adjusted. Accordingly, the support frame (131) may function as a central component for setting the overall posture of the support member (130).

[0051] The upper body support member (132) may be connected to the upper part of the support frame (131) to support the user's chest or back. Depending on the user's exercise posture, the upper body support member (132) may provide close support to the back, or support the chest when the user turns around and leans their chest against it. That is, the upper body support member (132) may selectively function as a back support member or a chest support member depending on the user's posture change. Additionally, the upper body support member (132) may be provided in the form of a pad having a certain surface area and cushioning properties so that the user's upper body can be supported stably.

[0052] The buttocks support (133) is height-adjustable and can be provided to allow the user's buttocks to rest on it. The buttocks support (133) can stably support the pelvis and lower body when the user assumes a seated position on the exercise equipment and can contribute to maintaining a constant position of the upper body. In particular, since the upper and lower positions of the buttocks support (133) can be adjusted according to the user's height, leg length, or exercise habits, the user can more appropriately align the relative positions with the upper body support (132) and the handle (160). Accordingly, the starting position for exercise can be set more naturally, and a stable posture can be maintained even during repetitive exercises.

[0053] The above pair of lower position rails (134) are coupled to the base frame (111) and can be spaced apart at a predetermined distance. The lower position rails (134) can serve to guide the lower end of the support frame (131) so that its position can be adjusted in the forward / backward or up / down direction. The above pair of lower position rails (134) can be formed to extend parallel to each other and can provide a reference path through which the lower position adjustment part (135) can slide stably. Additionally, the lower position rails (134) can be formed as members having sufficient rigidity to transmit the load acting on the support part (130) to the base frame (111).

[0054] The lower position adjustment unit (135) is coupled to the bottom of the support frame (131) to support the bottom of the support frame (131), and can be slidable along the pair of lower position rails (134) and fixed at a designated position. By changing the bottom position of the support frame (131), the lower position adjustment unit (135) can, consequently, allow the overall height or arrangement state of the support member (130) to be adjusted. Additionally, since the lower position adjustment unit (135) can be moved to a position desired by the user and then fixed at the selected position, shaking or arbitrary movement of the support member (130) during exercise can be suppressed. Accordingly, the user can stably use the support member (130) at a position suitable for their body type or exercise purpose.

[0055] The upper angle adjustment link (136) is provided in a bar shape equipped with a plurality of angle adjustment holes (1361) and may be linked to the upper end of the support frame (131) to enable adjustment of the tilt angle of the support frame (131). The upper angle adjustment link (136) may be connected to the upper end of the support frame (131) to perform the function of adjusting the tilt direction of the upper body support part (132). The plurality of angle adjustment holes (1361) may be formed spaced apart along the length direction and may allow various angle states to be set through selective connection with the angle fixing unit (137). Accordingly, the user can select a desired posture between a more upright posture suitable for shoulder exercises and a more tilted posture suitable for incline press exercises.

[0056] The angle fixing unit (137) is rotatably coupled to one point of the standing frame (112) and arranged to slide along the upper angle adjustment link (136), and can fix the tilt angle of the support frame (131) by fitting it into one of the selected angle adjustment holes (1361). The angle fixing unit (137) can move along the length direction of the upper angle adjustment link (136) and selectively be coupled to a desired angle adjustment hole (1361), thereby stably maintaining the tilted state of the support frame (131). Additionally, since the angle fixing unit (137) can be released from coupling as needed and re-coupled to another angle adjustment hole (1361), the user can change the angle of the upper body support part (132) in various ways according to exercise purposes or physical conditions.

[0057] In this way, the support member (130) may have a structure in which the height adjustment of the buttocks support (133) and the tilt angle adjustment of the support frame (131) are combined. Accordingly, the user can set an appropriate support state according to their body dimensions, arm length, shoulder position, and exercise posture, and can selectively implement a posture suitable for shoulder exercises or upper chest exercises using the same exercise equipment. In particular, the height and angle adjustment structure of the support member (130) can be combined with the positional relationship of the rotational movement member (140) and the handle member (160) described later, thereby enabling a more efficient exercise trajectory setting.

[0058] In particular, the height adjustment of the buttocks support (133) and the tilt angle adjustment of the support frame (131) can be combined to allow the user to selectively form a shoulder exercise posture or an upper chest exercise posture. Accordingly, the support member (130) can function as a posture setting structure that allows the exercise device of the present invention to be used selectively in a shoulder press mode and an incline press mode.

[0060] Referring again to FIG. 1, a pair of pivoting members (140) can be pivotably coupled to each of the pair of standing frames (112). The pivoting members (140) will be examined in more detail with reference to FIG. 4.

[0061] FIG. 4 is a drawing illustrating a rotational movement part according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0062] Referring to FIG. 4, a rotational movement unit (140) according to an embodiment of the present invention may include an upper movement frame (141), a lower movement frame (142), an upper / lower distance adjustment unit (143), and a cushioning unit (144). The rotational movement unit (140) may be configured to rotate relative to the standing frame (112) according to the user's press motion. Additionally, the rotational movement unit (140) may provide an exercise trajectory suitable for shoulder exercise or upper chest exercise in conjunction with the user's exercise posture, the tilt state of the support unit (130), and the setting state of the handle unit (160).

[0063] The upper exercise frame (141) may be provided in a bent bar shape that is rotatably coupled to the upper part of the standing frame (112). The upper exercise frame (141) may form the upper skeleton of the entire rotating exercise unit (140) and may serve as a reference member that transmits force in the pressing direction in conjunction with the handle part (160) that the user grips during exercise. In addition, since the upper exercise frame (141) is provided in a bent shape, it can secure an appropriate space corresponding to the user's shoulder position, arm movement path, and exercise starting posture, and can form a natural rotational trajectory while reducing interference during exercise.

[0064] The lower exercise frame (142) may be arranged spaced apart from the upper exercise frame (141) and may be provided in a bent bar shape that is rotatably coupled to the standing frame (112). The lower exercise frame (142) may form the lower structure of the rotational exercise unit (140) together with the upper exercise frame (141) and may stably support the load applied during press exercise. Additionally, the lower exercise frame (142) may be provided in a bent shape to optimize the lower arrangement of the entire rotational exercise unit (140) and reduce interference with the support unit (130), mounting unit (150), and other surrounding components. Furthermore, the lower exercise frame (142) may be provided to include a weight unit (145) on which the exercise load acts, so that exercise resistance corresponding to the weight selected by the user can be transmitted to the rotational exercise unit (140).

[0065] Additionally, a weight coupling part (145) to which a weight plate can be coupled may be provided on one side of the lower exercise frame (142). The weight coupling part (145) allows an exercise load to be applied to the rotational exercise part (140) as a weight plate selected by the user is coupled. Accordingly, the user can set various exercise resistances according to their muscle strength level or exercise purpose.

[0066] The above-described vertical distance adjustment unit (143) may be coupled between the upper exercise frame (141) and the lower exercise frame (142) to allow for the adjustment of the distance between the upper exercise frame (141) and the lower exercise frame (142). By changing the relative distance between the upper exercise frame (141) and the lower exercise frame (142), the vertical distance adjustment unit (143) may allow the overall shape of the rotational exercise unit (140) and the relative position of the handle unit (160) to be adjusted. Accordingly, the user can more appropriately set the exercise starting position to suit their physical condition or exercise purpose.

[0067] In particular, the vertical distance adjustment unit (143) can change the position of the handle unit (160) and the movement trajectory of the rotational movement unit (140) by adjusting the distance between the upper movement frame (141) and the lower movement frame (142). Accordingly, the user can selectively set a relatively high starting position suitable for shoulder exercises and a relatively different starting position suitable for incline press exercises. In addition, the vertical distance adjustment unit (143) can enable a more natural press trajectory depending on the user's arm length, shoulder position, upper body tilt, or sitting posture. Accordingly, even when using the same exercise equipment, various settings corresponding to the user's body type differences or exercise purpose may be possible.

[0068] The above cushioning member (144) has elasticity and can be coupled to one end of the lower movement frame (142). The cushioning member (144) can mitigate the impact that may occur during the process of the rotating movement member (140) descending or coming into contact with the frame member (110) or the ground. Accordingly, the rotational movement member (140) may be prevented from directly and strongly colliding with the frame member (110) or the ground, and the transmission of noise and impact that may occur during the process of performing repetitive exercises may be reduced. In addition, the cushioning member (144) can contribute to improving the durability of the entire exercise equipment by mitigating damage caused by direct friction or collision between members.

[0069] In this way, the rotational movement unit (140) can be configured to enable stable rotational movement through a combined structure of an upper movement frame (141) and a lower movement frame (142), the starting position and trajectory of the movement can be adjusted through an upper / lower distance adjustment unit (143), and the impact during descent can be mitigated through a cushioning unit (144). Accordingly, the rotational movement unit (140) can work together with the height and tilt adjustment structure of the support unit (130) to allow the user to perform shoulder exercises or upper chest exercises more conveniently.

[0071] Referring again to FIG. 1, the mounting member (150) is coupled to the base frame (111) and may be configured to limit the rotation radius of the pair of rotational movement members (140) while allowing the angle to be adjustable. The mounting member (150) is examined in more detail with reference to FIG. 5.

[0072] FIG. 5 is a drawing illustrating a mounting portion according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0073] Referring to FIG. 5, a mounting member (150) according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a pair of mounting brackets (151), a connecting frame (152), a first lever member (153), and a second lever member (154). The mounting member (150) may be provided to stably support the rotating movement member (140) in a standby state and to selectively switch the mounting state according to the user's operation. Accordingly, the mounting member (150) may set an initial mounting position of the rotating movement member (140) and, when starting the movement, may switch to a state where the rotating movement member (140) can rotate more smoothly.

[0074] The above pair of mounting brackets (151) may be each rotatably coupled to the base frame (111) and provided with a first mounting part (1511) and a second mounting part (1512) formed at different heights and angles from each other. The above pair of mounting brackets (151) may be positioned on both the left and right sides so that a pair of rotating parts (140) can be supported in a balanced manner. Additionally, the mounting brackets (151) may be provided with a rotatable structure so that either the first mounting part (1511) or the second mounting part (1512) can be selectively positioned on the lower side of the rotating part (140).

[0075] The first mounting portion (1511) may be provided with a relatively long length among the plurality of mounting portions formed on the mounting bracket (151). The first mounting portion (1511) is configured such that the rotational movement portion (140) is preferentially mounted thereon while in a standby state for exercise, thereby stably supporting the rotational movement portion (140) at a relatively high position. Accordingly, the user can more easily grasp the rotational movement portion (140) before starting exercise and can set the initial posture more conveniently.

[0076] The second mounting part (1512) may be provided with a shorter length than the first mounting part (1511). The second mounting part (1512) may be configured to be mounted in place of the rotational movement part (140) depending on the rotational switching of the mounting bracket (151). Since the second mounting part (1512) has a shorter length than the first mounting part (1511), the rotational movement part (140) may be switched to a lower position or a state where rotation is easy. Accordingly, the user can push up or rotate the rotational movement part (140) more naturally when starting the exercise.

[0077] The connecting frame (152) is provided in a bar shape and can connect the pair of mounting brackets (151). The connecting frame (152) can synchronize the rotational movement of the mounting brackets (151) positioned on the left and right sides, and can prevent only one side from rotating partially, thereby allowing the mounting state of both sides to be switched simultaneously. Additionally, the connecting frame (152) can perform the function of transmitting rotational force resulting from the operation of the first lever part (153) or the second lever part (154) to the pair of mounting brackets (151).

[0078] The first lever part (153) is coupled to the central part of the connecting frame (152) and is operated by the user's foot, and the connecting frame (152) can be rotated according to the operation. The first lever part (153) can be positioned so that it can be easily operated with the foot while the user is facing the exercise equipment in a normal posture. Accordingly, the user can switch the mounting state of the rotating exercise part (140) without using hands separately, and the exercise preparation movement can be made simpler.

[0079] That is, the first lever part (153) and the second lever part (154) can transmit rotational force to the connecting frame (152) according to the user's foot operation, and accordingly, the pair of mounting brackets (151) can rotate together.

[0080] The second lever part (154) is coupled to one side of the connecting frame (152) and is operated by the user's foot, and the connecting frame (152) can be rotated according to the operation. The second lever part (154) can be positioned so that it can be easily operated by the foot even when the user is exercising with their back turned while supporting their chest on the upper body support part (132). That is, the second lever part (154) can perform the same mounting state switching function even if the user's direction of exercise or posture changes. Accordingly, the user can conveniently operate the mounting part (150) not only in shoulder exercises but also in an incline press exercise posture.

[0081] The first lever part (153) and the second lever part (154) can rotate the connecting frame (152) so that the rotational movement part (140) is mounted on the first mounting part (1511) in the standby state and mounted on the second mounting part (1512) during operation. More specifically, in the standby state, the relatively long first mounting part (1511) supports the rotational movement part (140) so that the user can grasp the handle part (160) at a higher starting position. Subsequently, when the user operates the first lever part (153) or the second lever part (154) with their foot, the connecting frame (152) rotates and the position of the mounting bracket (151) changes, and accordingly, the state can be changed so that the relatively short second mounting part (1512) mounts the rotational movement part (140). In this case, the above-mentioned rotational movement part (140) can be switched to a state where rotation is easier, so that the process of the user initiating the exercise can be smoother.

[0082] In this way, the mounting portion (150) can be provided to selectively switch the mounting position of the rotational movement portion (140) between the exercise standby state and the exercise execution state. In particular, since the mounting portion (150) can change the mounting state solely through the user's foot operation, it can be operated more conveniently even while holding the rotational movement portion (140) with the hand. Furthermore, as the first lever portion (153) and the second lever portion (154) are provided in different positions, the same function can be performed even if the user posture changes, thereby ensuring both the shoulder exercise and upper chest exercise switching function of the present invention and high user convenience.

[0083] Additionally, the mounting member (150) can set the starting position of rotation and the lowering limit of the rotational movement member (140) by selectively changing the position where the rotational movement member (140) is mounted, and accordingly, the rotation radius of the rotational movement member (140) can be limited. That is, the mounting member (150) can function as a reference structure for adjusting the range of motion of the rotational movement member (140).

[0084] Additionally, the mounting portion (150) may be configured to rotate automatically during the process of the user lifting the rotational movement portion (140). More specifically, in the standby state, the rotational movement portion (140) may be supported by a relatively long first mounting portion (1511), and when the user lifts the rotational movement portion (140) upward while gripping the handle portion (160), the load application position and contact state of the rotational movement portion (140) change, and the mounting bracket (151) and the connecting frame (152) may rotate naturally in conjunction. Accordingly, the rotational movement portion (140) can be switched from a state of being mounted on the first mounting portion (1511) to a state of being mounted on the second mounting portion (1512) without separate manual operation, and the user can enter the exercise start position more smoothly. That is, the mounting part (150) may have a structure in which the mounting position is automatically changed by the motion of gripping and lifting the rotational movement part (140), so that the device can naturally transition to an exercise state without performing complex operations separately before starting the exercise. In addition, the first lever part (153) and the second lever part (154) may be operated as an auxiliary mechanism to make the transition of the mounting state or return to the original position easier.

[0086] The handle portion (160) may be connected to one end of the rotational movement portion (140) and provided for the user to grip with their hand. The handle portion (160) is examined in more detail with reference to FIG. 6.

[0087] FIG. 6 is a drawing illustrating a handle portion according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0088] Referring to FIG. 6, a handle portion (160) according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a fixed handle (161), a pivot link (162), an angle adjustment handle (163), and a handle angle adjustment portion (164). The handle portion (160) may be provided as a direct contact configuration for a user to grip the pivot movement portion (140) and perform a press operation, and may enable the implementation of an appropriate wrist angle and arm position according to the user's gripping posture and direction of movement. Accordingly, the handle portion (160) may provide various gripping states corresponding to the user's physical condition and exercise posture when performing shoulder exercises or upper chest exercises.

[0089] The fixed handle (161) may be formed in a bent bar shape that is connected to a side point of the rotating movement part (140) and arranged for the user to grip. The fixed handle (161) is a handle configuration that has a fixed position relative to the rotating movement part (140) and can serve as a reference handle that allows the user to grip stably when performing basic press movements. In addition, since the fixed handle (161) is provided in a bent bar shape, it can induce a gripping posture in a direction where the user's wrist is not excessively bent, and can provide a natural grip position corresponding to shoulder width or the angle of arm spread.

[0090] The above-mentioned pivot link (162) can be rotatably coupled to one end of the above-mentioned pivot movement part (140). The above-mentioned pivot link (162) can function as a mediating component that allows the angle adjustment handle (163) to be supported in a rotatable state. Additionally, the above-mentioned pivot link (162) can be linked with the handle angle adjustment part (164) to allow the rotation angle of the angle adjustment handle (163) to be adjusted stepwise or selectively. Accordingly, the above-mentioned pivot link (162) can act as a central coupling part that changes the position of the angle adjustment handle (163).

[0091] The angle adjustment handle (163) may be formed in a bent bar shape that is coupled to the pivot link (162) and arranged for the user to grip. The angle adjustment handle (163) may be provided to offer a gripping angle different from that of the fixed handle (161), and may be used selectively according to the user's exercise habits, wrist direction, elbow movement path, etc. Additionally, since the angle adjustment handle (163) is provided in a bent shape, it may allow the user to assume a more comfortable posture depending on the direction in which they place their hand, and may allow the stimulation point of the exercise area or the press trajectory to change even when using the same exercise equipment.

[0092] The handle angle adjustment unit (164) may be coupled between the fixed handle (161) and the pivot link (162) to allow the angle of the angle adjustment handle (163) to be adjusted and fixed. The handle angle adjustment unit (164) may allow the angle adjustment handle (163) to be maintained at one of a plurality of set angles, and may allow the user to select a desired gripping angle and fix it stably at that position. Additionally, the handle angle adjustment unit (164) may perform the function of limiting the rotation range of the pivot link (162) or aligning the position based on the set angle. Accordingly, the angle adjustment handle (163) may be prevented from rotating arbitrarily during exercise, and the user may perform exercise in a more stable gripping state.

[0093] The handle portion (160) is provided with a structure that includes both the fixed handle (161) and the angle adjustment handle (163), thereby allowing the user to selectively use multiple gripping methods on a single exercise device. For example, the user may grip the fixed handle (161) or selectively grip the angle adjustment handle (163) depending on their shoulder condition, arm length, wrist range of motion, or exercise purpose. Additionally, since the angle of the angle adjustment handle (163) can be adjusted, more precise posture setting may be possible.

[0094] In this way, the handle portion (160) can diversify the gripping configuration in which the user's hand directly contacts and allows for the selection of an appropriate handle angle according to the exercise posture, thereby providing usability that corresponds to both shoulder exercises and upper chest exercises. In addition, the handle portion (160) works together with the height and angle adjustment structure of the support portion (130) and the vertical distance adjustment structure of the rotational movement portion (140) to enable the user to perform a more natural and efficient press motion.

[0095] Additionally, the handle angle adjustment unit (164) can allow the angle adjustment handle (163) to be fixed at any one of a plurality of set angles. Accordingly, the user can more precisely set the desired handle angle according to exercise posture or gripping habit.

[0097] In addition, FIG. 7 is a drawing illustrating the incline mode of a shoulder-upper chest exercise machine according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0098] Referring to FIG. 7, the shoulder-upper chest exercise device according to one embodiment of the present invention can be used in an incline mode as the tilt angle of the support part (130), the relative position of the rotational movement part (140), the mounting state of the mounting part (150), and the gripping state of the handle part (160) are mutually adjusted. More specifically, the user can assume a posture to support the chest on the upper body support part (132) of the support part (130), and accordingly, the exercise device of the present invention can implement an upper chest-centered press posture that is distinguished from a general shoulder exercise posture.

[0099] In this case, the tilt angle of the support member (130) can be adjusted by the upper angle adjustment link (136) and the angle fixing unit (137), and the height of the buttock support (133) can also be adjusted to suit the user's body shape and posture. Accordingly, the user can assume a posture in which the chest is more stably in contact with the upper body support member (132) and can form an exercise posture more suitable for the upper chest area. In addition, since the position and exercise trajectory of the handle member (160) of the rotational movement member (140) can be adjusted by the vertical distance adjustment member (143), a press path corresponding to the user's shoulder position, arm length, and upper body tilt can be implemented.

[0100] Additionally, in incline mode, since the user can perform exercise while supporting their chest on the upper body support (132), the second lever part (154) of the mounting part (150) can be utilized more effectively. That is, even while the user is in a position where they are rotating their upper body to lean their chest, they can operate the second lever part (154) using their feet, and accordingly, by rotating the connecting frame (152), they can switch the rotational movement part (140), which was supported by the first mounting part (1511), to a state where it is mounted by the second mounting part (1512). In this way, the mounting part (150) can easily switch the mounting state of the rotational movement part (140) even if the user's exercise posture changes.

[0101] Meanwhile, the handle portion (160) may include a fixed handle (161) and an angle adjustment handle (163), and the user may selectively grip the appropriate handle according to their gripping habits or wrist angle. In particular, since a press trajectory centered on the upper chest can be formed in incline mode, the positioning of the wrist and elbow can be set more naturally by adjusting the angle of the angle adjustment handle (163). Accordingly, the user can form a more concentrated stimulus on the upper chest area while reducing the burden on the joints during exercise.

[0102] As such, the shoulder-upper chest exercise device of the present invention can be selectively used in an incline mode as well as a shoulder exercise mode by means of a complex adjustment structure of a support part (130), a rotational movement part (140), a mounting part (150), and a handle part (160). Therefore, the user can selectively perform exercises for the shoulder area and the upper chest area with only one exercise device, and can implement a wider variety of settings depending on the exercise purpose, physical condition, and posture of use.

[0104] As seen above, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the mounting part can be easily operated by the user's foot.

[0105] In addition, the shoulder-upper chest exercise device according to one embodiment of the present invention enables not only shoulder exercises but also incline press exercises, and can have the effect of allowing the angles and positions of the support part, the rotating part, and the handle part to be adjusted in various ways according to the user's physical condition and exercise posture.

[0106] In addition, the shoulder-upper chest exercise device according to one embodiment of the present invention can have the effect of facilitating easy switching between an exercise standby state and an exercise performance state, and improving ease of use.

[0108] 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 fall within the scope of the inventive concept.
