Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention strengthens the muscles of the legs and hips, maintains the flexibility of the legs and hips, by opening and closing the legs against a spring.
Eliminates stiffness in the body, promotes blood circulation, promotes internal functions,
The present invention relates to exercise equipment that can help recover from fatigue.

It is said that the decline in physical strength begins in the legs and hips.
To maintain good health, it is necessary to exercise the legs and hips sufficiently.

However, in reality, it has been difficult for many people to exercise their legs and hips sufficiently due to lack of time or lack of places to do things like running. .

The present invention was made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide an exercise equipment that allows sufficient exercise of the legs and hips indoors easily and in a short period of time.

The exercise equipment according to the present invention includes a base, and on this base,
The device includes a pair of footrests that are supported so as to be movable horizontally in a straight line within a certain range, and a spring that urges the footrests toward each other.

The present invention will be explained in more detail below based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

In FIGS. 1 to 5, the base 1 is placed horizontally on the floor. This base 1
Guide portions 2a and 2b extending linearly in the length direction of the base 1 are provided on both left and right sides of the base 1, respectively. The base 1 also includes stopper plates 3a and 3.
b and 4a and 4b are guide parts 2a and 4b, respectively.
It is provided so as to be located at both ends of 2b.

5a and 5b are footrests, each of which has four rollers 6a and 6b attached to its lower part, and is placed on the base 1 via the rollers 6a and 6b, and is moved to the guide parts 2a and 2b. They are fitted freely. As a result, the footrests 5a, 5b
are movable along guide portions 2a, 2b between stopper plates 3a, 4a and between stopper plates 3b, 4b, respectively.

A compression spring 7a is interposed between the footrest 5a and the stopper plate 4a, and a compression spring 7b is interposed between the footrest 5b and the stopper plate 4b. , 7b urge the footrests 5a, 5b toward each other (that is, toward the center of the base 1).

A fence-like portion 8 is erected at the center in the length direction of the base 1 so as to be positioned in front and behind the user when the user places both feet on the respective footrests 5a and 5b. . Further, the upper end portion of the fence-like portion 8 extends in the horizontal direction and forms a grip portion 8A.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

When no force is applied from the outside, the footrests 5a, 5b are at positions where they abut against the stopper plates 3a, 3b, that is, at the center of the base 1, due to the forces of the springs 7a, 7b. In this state, the user
As shown in Figures 4 and 5, place both feet on footrests 5a and 5.
Put it on b. Then, put pressure on the legs and spring 7
By moving the footrests 5a and 5b in the direction in which they move away from each other against the footrests 5a and 7b,
Open the legs.

Once you have opened your legs wide enough in this way, relax your legs. Then, spring 7a,
Due to the restoring force of 7b, the footrests 5a, 5b naturally return to their original positions, and the legs are also closed to their original positions.

By repeatedly opening and closing the legs, you can exercise the legs and hips efficiently, which strengthens the muscles in the legs and hips, maintains flexibility in the legs and hips, relieves stiffness in the body, and improves blood circulation. It can be used to promote body functions, promote internal functions, recover from fatigue, etc.

Also, when opening and closing the legs as described above,
If your hips bend forward, the exercise will not be as effective. However, in the present invention, since the fence-like portion 8 is provided, the user is unable to bend forward at the waist, and the user naturally stretches the legs in the correct posture with the back straight, which maximizes the exercise effect. It becomes necessary to perform opening and closing operations.

Moreover, by having the user grasp the gripping portion 8a of the fence-like portion 8, it is possible to prevent an accident such as the user falling during the opening/closing operation of the leg portions.

FIG. 6 shows another embodiment of the invention.

In this embodiment, the fence-like portion 8 is the fixed portion 8b.
The movable part 8c is fitted into the fixed part 8b so as to be movable up and down, and the screw 8b fixes the movable part 8c to the fixed part 8b at any desired up and down position. Further, in this embodiment, the user grasps the portion of the fixing portion 8b that extends in the vertical direction. The rest of the structure is the same as that of the embodiment described above (the same parts as those of the embodiment described above are indicated by the same reference numerals). By raising and lowering the fence, it is possible to further obtain the effect that the height of the fence-like portion 8 can be adjusted according to the height of the user.

In addition, in each of the above embodiments, by providing a compression spring between each footrest and the base, two
Although the two footrests are biased toward each other, by interposing a tension spring between the two footrests, the footrests can be biased toward each other. good. However, in such a case, it becomes necessary to provide a cover or the like to cover the spring so that the user will not be injured by the spring if the spring breaks.

As described above, the exercise equipment according to the present invention (a) allows sufficient exercise of the legs and hips indoors easily and in a short time;
It can strengthen the muscles of the legs and hips, maintain the flexibility of the legs and hips, eliminate stiffness in the body, promote blood circulation, promote internal functions, and recover from fatigue.

(b) Since there are fence-like parts in front and behind the base,
Since the user cannot bend forward at the waist,
Naturally, you have no choice but to open and close your legs in the correct posture with your back straight, which maximizes the effectiveness of your exercise.

This provides an excellent effect.
