[Description]
[Title of Invention]
Multipurpose exercise of the whole body organization
[Technical field]
This invention is about exercising machine that makes -people able
to practice a handstand, sit-up and knee folding-spreading while
lying down on the bed. In more detail, this is a multipurpose
exercise machine composed of a rectangle bottom frame(lll) on
which 2 columns(112) stand at the one end and two jib bearing
supports(113) sits at the other end, and an upper frame(150) that is
fixed on the bottom frame(lll) but can be reversed or separated;
the upper frame is attached on top with a mat(300) that can be
folded or unfolded by force of air cylinders(400,600), a function to
serve by thus as a bed or swivel chair at normal time as well as a
sport outfit for a variety of exercises like handstand, situp or knee
stretching. This invention can be used easily and conveniently for
any purpose one intends since it is worked by for- and backward
motion of driving shaft and/or bearing propelled by pneumatic
reciprocation of air cylinder.
— Λ ~ And this exercising machine has a long life span because a
mechanical reaction and damage will not be occurred due to the
back-lash. The reason is that this machine does not use a changing
gear, but a driving device including air cylinder, shaft, and bearings,
etc.
[Background art]
In general, the handstand is an exercise that helps you a lot to
prevent from various diseases of adult people by promoting a blood
circulation with lively brain activities, which is induced by much
more bloods that comes into the head than usual.
Sit-up is an exercise that provides with an excellent effectiveness
for improving the flexibility of your waist, reinforcing your
abdominal muscle tone, and removing abdominal fat as well.
However, it is not recommended to the person who has a pain in his
waist, and it is necessary for you to take a precaution when you
want to use.
For the exercises described in the above, there are typical
examples notified in the practical patent registered in Korea, 0362611 for handstand and 0286948 for sit-up, respectively. There
are various exercising machines in the market including the
machine mentioned above and they are widely used for keeping
people's health and physical tone. But, as the existing exercising
machines are very limited to use in application, they can be only
used for one of either, handstand or sit-up. Moreover, the user just
hangs only from the machine in case of exercising a handstand and
can not do any other exercises to gain a direct improvement on
health and physical power by using the machine. In the case of
exercising a sit-up, this exercise is definitely necessary for the
persons who are fat, or in a bad condition physically, or in a pain of
the waist, but none of the existing ones can not serve well enough
for this purpose. And also the existing exercising machines have an
inconvenience in providing the users to maintain the position of
lying down or the rest after stopping the exercise. Since the
existing market does not have this type of exercising machine
including the function of exercising a knee joint, and the persons
working for a long time a day or elderly persons or the patients
having an aftereffect of an injury could not only practice enough but also these are far from the machine with heating device that makes
people relaxed warmly when using the mat.
Therefore, this inventor has studied about the multi-purpose
exercising machine that provides the users with the following
advantages-
o The user can use this unit as a bed or couch at any time.
o The user can use this unit to exercise a handstand, sit-up, and
knee folding-spreading at any time they want.

for a hand-stand and sit-up
Therefore, this exercising machine is a multi-purpose systematic
unit that works with the above elements combined, and it can be
used not only for handstand, sit-up, and knee folding-spreading and lifting, but also for a bed or couch equipped with heating function.
Fig.l is a squint drawing of the existing exercising machine for a
hand-stand.
This shows a exercising unit which consists of two supports(20)
installed on the upper part of the main body(lθ), driving shaft of
the backboard(40) supported which is installed between the
supports with shaft holder(30) at the upper part, foot fixing part(50)
at lower backboard, that are all for exercising a handstand.
Fig.2 is a squint drawing of the existing exercising machine for a
sit-up.
It consists of a moving plate(lθ) that is connected to a base
plate(lθ), and also can be rotating together with it and so on. Once
the user lies down, the lower part of the user's body below his hip
comes to the contact point, and the moving plate(12) comes to the
part where the user contacts. And the moving plated 2) is
connected to the base plate, and able to rotate together with it, and
is supported elastically with the spring(20) on the back side.
Fig.3 is showing the frame structure of the exercising machine by this invention.
This frame structure is that, first of all, the columns(112) are
installed at two points on the edge at one end of rectangular bottom
framed 11), respectively, and at the other end on the opposite side,
there is the lower frame(lOO) with the suρρorts(113) for Jib
bearings(210) which are set up at the left and right in position.
This is to install the driving shaft(153) to make it upside down and
stand it upright. The channel(114) should be intersected to attach
the hinge(240B) of air cylinder(200) head for a handstand at the
two supports(113) on the bottom framed 11).
It is recommended for the form of the supports is like a trapezoid
and the columns(112) should be installed upright, and about 120mm
higher than the supported 13).
Next is about the upper frame(150) that is formed by attaching the
connecting rods(152) between the mat suρport(151) and driving
shaft(153) for making upside down.
The mat support is not fixed on the columns(112), but sit on the
columns(112); driving shaft(153) is combined as a mean of fixing by
using the flange(154) and connecting rods(152) which is positioned lower than this with the form of stair and, with the plated 55)
intersecting between the two connecting rods(152), Jib
bearings(220) of air cylinder(200) rod side for handstand can be
attached. Therefore, this exercising machine performs a handstand
by moving up and down the separated one from the colυmns(112),
which is centered with driving shaft(153) by the act of air
cylinder(200) connected to the upper framed 50) plate and the
lower frame channel(114).
Fig.4 is the front and side view of the mat of the exercising
machine by this invention.
The surface of the mat(300) that is contacted directly to the
people's body while exercising or resting should be the materials
with soft and cushioned, and the other hand, the material for the
bottom and edge of the mat should be hard enough so that other
attachments can be easily fixed together.
In order to use this machine for multipurpose, it is intersected and
divided the part where the user's waist is to be placed, and is
attached to the link devices(310) for a sit-up on the both sides
divided, and by dividing the part of the knee, the hinges(330) for a knee folding at the both ends of divided part(refer to Fig.7) are
attached.
The reason that divides it into ^ Jn the 'shape, not intersect divide
the whole part of the knee is that the part of the knee can be folded
away from the columns(112) because the mat support(151) are
placed on the columns(112). This exercising machine is included
with heating wires(370) inserted, and equipped with power supply
and ON/OFF switch(380) outside as a warm-up function, therefore
the mat keeps itself warm without the separate heating device
when you take a rest with lying or sit down on the exercising
machine in the cold weather.
You can now exercise a sit-up by straightening up or lying down the
backboard, and exercise a knee folding-spreading to help your knee
joint. When you are exercising a sit-up with this machine, the foot
fixing unit(320) is provided to secure your feet for your safety.
Fig.5 is the side view of the exercising machine by this invention.
Connecting link devices(310) by dividing the part of the waist, the
lower part of the waist is attached on the mat support framed 51)
and its upper part has the mat(300) that is just placed on the two spots of the driving shaft(153); air compressor(500) with the power
supply that produces and stores a pressurized air; air filter(510)
that filters out foreign materials such as moisture in the air, etc.;
solenoid varves(520,530,540,550) that sends the filtered air to each
air cylinder port according to the electrical signal; air
cylinders(200, 400,600, 700) that create a linear reciprocation by
air-flowing into the rod and head ports from the solenoid valve;
driving shaft(153) that makes the machine work to do a handstand
by converting a linear movement of the cylinder to rotating
movement; link devices(310) for a sit-up; and this includes
hinges(330) for knee folding.
And an additional feature for this exercising machine is that there
are the transporting wheels(710) attached to the end of air
cylinder(700) rod for lifting in order to move it easily. Therefore,
when you want to use the wheels, pressing the wheel button on the
switch panel(570) makes the cylinder rod move down and let the
transporting wheels go down lower than the bottom frame(lll) of
the lower framed 00) and then you can move it easily with less
force, and when you press the other button, the cylinder(700) rod will go up and the transporting wheels(710) returns into the housing
and then the bottom frame becomes to contact the ground.
The way to install the cylinders in the machine is as follows:
1st. In case of the air cylinder(200) for a handstand, assemble the
head side with the hinge(240) on the channel(114) intersected the
bottom framed 11) which is located in the center, and install one
cylinder only in the center of the plated 55) which is intersected
connecting rods(152) using Jib bearing(220) and bearing shaft(230).
2nd. Two cylinders(400) are to be installed; the one at head side is
to assemble using the hinge and adaptors(430A,B) of connecting
rods(152) in the left and right position, respectively, and the other
at rod side is to connect two cylinders(400) in parallel using the
mat(300) backboard , assembling units(420), and shaft(410)
attached as a fixing tool.
Between the left and right hinges(430) are connected with the
hinge supρort(440) in order to prevent it from the movement of the
cylinders(400) during a sit-up (refer to Fig.10).
3rd. Air cylinder(600) for a knee folding-spreading is placed at the
head side in the direction of the hip of the divided mat(300) on the part of the knee, and is placed at the rod side in the direction of the
calf, and then just one cylinder is installed in the center of the mat
support frame(151) combined with the hinges(610,620) each.
4th. In case of air cylinder(700) for lifting, install the cylinder
vertically with the cylinder rod side, which is faced down, by
attaching the pipe inside plugged and cylinder housing(720) to the
four corners of the lower frame(lOO) floor inside - the cylinder
housing and cylinder head will be assembled by the screws.
In order for both cylinder ports to be connected easily with air
hose(560), some portion of the housing(720) side should be opened
and four cylinders(700) should be connected to operate with the
same performance. In addition, the transporting wheels(710)
assembled at the end of cylinder rod also should be entered into
the housing by preventing the lower framed 00) side from
interference.
Fig.β is the sit-up operation diagram of the exercising machine by
this invention.
In order to exercise a sit-up using this machine, when you press
UP button for a sit-up in the switch panel(570), the pressurized air passed through the solenoid valve(540) enters into the port of air
cylinders(400) head and then push the mat(300) backboard
upwards with the link devices(310) centered.
When you want to return the backboard to the original position,
press the DOWN button for a sit-up in the switch panel(570) and
then the air enters into the port of the cylinders(400) rod side and
makes the backboard return to the original position and finally it
makes a sit-up that this invention intends.
Moreover, if you want to exercise a sit-up powerfully, take a stable
stance with the knee folded while you are in a handstand and then
you will be getting the better effect of your exercise. The needle
bearings(311,411) are used at the link devices(310) and rod
shaft(410) in order to provide the soft and flexible exercise for a
sit-up. The air hose(560) from the supply port of the solenoid
valve(540) should be connected for the air to enter or discharge at
the same time because two air cylinders (400) for a sit-up are
installed at the left and right sides.
However, besides the methods described above, it is apparent that
you can do a sit-up with other method as long as the link devices(310) rotate forward and backward. For example, you can
rotate the link devices(310) forward and backward using a motor
and gear, and then you will have the same result in this case.
Fig.7 is the example drawing for couch type using the exercising
machine by this invention.
This exercising machine includes the solenoid valve(520) for knee
folding-spreading, air cylinder(600) for knee folding,
hinges(610,620) on cylinder rod and head sides, and other
hinges(330). Using these elements, you can stretch your legs
straight, and then take a rest while the backboard is in upright
position, and if you press the DOWN button for the knee folding in
the switch panel(570), the pressurized air passed through the
solenoid valve(520) enters into the port of air cylinder(600) side
for the knee-folding and then the divided part becomes folded
downward with the shape of *=.
In the same way, if you press the UP button for the knee-folding in
the switch panel in order to stretch your legs straight again, the air
enters into the port of the cylinder head side and then the folded
part returns upward to the original position and finally it makes a knee folding-spreading that this invention intends. Therefore, this
exercise helps people who works a long time on their feet or gets
a pain in their knee to relieve their fatigue and pain.
However, besides the methods described above, it is apparent that
you can do a knee folding-spreading with other method as long as
the hinges(330) are folded and spread.
Fig.8 shows the handstand operation using the exercising machine
by this invention.
When you press the UP button for a sit~uρ in the switch panel(570)
while you are lying down on the mat(300), the pressurized air
discharged from the solenoid valve(530) connected electrically
enters into the port of the air cylinder(200) head side, and then the
separated part from the columns(112) goes upward with the
driving shaft(153) on its axis and the head then goes down towards
the floor and the legs towards the sky, and finally it able to make a
sit-up that this invention intends.
One point you must keep in mind before starting an exercise is to
use the foot fixing unit(320) and to secure yourself safe.
The method to use the foot fixing unit is to tighten your ankle with the belt. You can maximize an exercise effect if you do a sit-up by
controlling the button for a sit-up while you are in a handstand
after taking a stable stance with your knee folded as explained
above. If you want to return back to the original position while you
are in a sit-up position, press the DOWN button for a sit-up in the
switch panel(570), and then the air enters into the port of the
cylinder(200) rod side and the part that is in the upper position will
be going down again with the driving shaft on its axis.
At this time, if you use the Jib bearings(210) at both end of the
driving shaft(153) in order to rotate the shaft forward and
backward smoothly, the intended sit-up should be done very
smoothly and softly. In preparation with electrical failure while you
are in a handstand position, a manual air drain valve is installed at
the middle point of the air hose(560) connected to the air cylinder
head side port and supply port of solenoid valve(520).
Besides the method described above, it is apparent that you can do
a handstand with other method as long as the driving shaft(153)
rotates forward and backward. For example, you can rotate the
driving shaft(153) forward and backward using a motor and gear and then you will have the same result in this case.
[Industrial applicability]
As described above, this exercise machine is designed to use
without limitation of time and space to provide with whole body
exercise and comfortable rest, which is essential to the people of
today.
This machine is the equipment that is combined with electrical and
mechanical devices requiring basically the solidity and durability.
Therefore, from the view point of the industrial field, it is better for
the frame to use the steel rather than other materials because it
needs welding or tightening strongly. And it is able to use
permanently by utilizing the parts that can minimize the friction and
impact on the area where it contacts because it requires certain
durability providing a free of breakdown or free of damage with the
long term use.
