Description

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0018] Embodiments of the present invention provide an exercise device that is a bicycle, an indoor bicycle, or fitness equipment, the exercise device include: a frame 1; a seat 4 connected to the frame 1 and allowing a user to have a sitting or lying position; a guiding rail 2 connected to the frame 1; a slide arm 3 slidingly moving with a guiding range of the guiding rail 2; and a leg pad pivotably connected to one end of the slide arm 3 and disposed below legs of the user or disposed to contact a rear surface of the legs of the user.

[0019] Also, as the slide arm 3 and the guiding rail 2 are provided so that the slide arm 3 moves along the guiding rail 2 to allow the slide arm 3 to rotate about a pivot axis disposed in a hip joint of the user, the pivot axis of the slide arm 3 rotating along the guiding rail 2 may be disposed corresponding to the hip joint of the user, and as the guiding rail 2 is disposed between both legs of the user when viewed on a plan view as illustrated in FIG. 5, the user may perform a movement in which the user sitting or lying on the seat 4 puts both the legs on the leg pads and alternately lowers the legs and moves the legs backward from a start position in which the legs are pulled toward the user's chest.

MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0020] Hereinafter, detailed descriptions related to well-known functions or configurations will be ruled out in order not to unnecessarily obscure subject matters of the present invention. Since the present invention may, however, be embodied in different forms and various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention, specific embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this does not limit the present invention within the specific embodiments and it should be understood that the present invention covers all the modifications, equivalents, and replacements within the idea and technical scope of the present invention. In the following description, the technical terms are used only for explaining a specific example (or embodiment) while not limiting the present disclosure. In the present invention, the meaning of ‘include’ or ‘comprise’ specifies a property, a fixed number, a step, an operation, an element, a component, or a combination thereof but does not exclude other properties, fixed numbers, steps, operations, elements, components, combinations thereof.

[0021] Hereinafter, an embodiment of a quads and gluteus exercise of the present invention to achieve the above-described objects will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] In order to resolve the problem of the technical object, as illustrated in FIGS. 3 to 8 (KR 20-2020-0001877), an exercise device of the present invention, which performs an exercise suitable for a quads and gluteus exercise, may include: a frame 1; a seat 4 connected to the frame 1 and allowing a user to have a sitting or lying position; a guiding rail 2 connected to the frame 1; a slide arm 3 slidingly moving with a guiding range of the guiding rail 2; and a leg pad pivotably connected to one end of the slide arm 3 and disposed below legs of the user or disposed to contact a rear surface of the legs of the user.

[0023] Also, as the slide arm 3 and the guiding rail 2 are provided so that the slide arm 3 moves along the guiding rail 2 to allow the slide arm 3 to rotate about a pivot axis disposed in a hip joint of the user, the pivot axis of the slide arm 3 rotating along the guiding rail 2 may be disposed corresponding to the hip joint of the user, and as the guiding rail 2 is disposed between both legs of the user when viewed on a plan view as illustrated in FIG. 5, the user may perform a movement in which the user sitting or lying on the seat 4 puts both the legs on the leg pads and alternately lowers the legs and moves the legs backward from a start position in which the legs are pulled toward the user's chest.

[0024] Preferably, the leg pad is necessary to be disposed on a rear surface of a thigh of the user to protect knees and ankle joints of the user. Also, as illustrated in FIGS. 3, 4, 6, and 7, a foot plate or a pedal may be connected to one end of the leg pad.

[0025] In addition, preferably, as illustrated in FIG. 8, the exercise device may be configured to adjust suitably for a portion of a user's body that the user wants to exercise as the guiding rail 2 connected to the frame 1 includes an axis conversion part that converts the guiding rail in a direction of a X-pivot axis parallel to the ground (FIGS. 3, 4, and 5), in a direction of a y-pivot axis perpendicular to the ground (FIGS. 6, 7, and 8), and in a diagonal direction when an angle to the ground is 45°.

[0026] The guiding rail 2 may be disposed perpendicularly to the frame 1 as illustrated in FIGS. 3, 4, and 5 or pivotably provided horizontally to the frame 1 as illustrated in FIGS. 6, 7, and 8, and the axis conversion part may include a fixing unit 6 for fixing the guiding rail 2 to the frame 1. Thus, the user may selectively perform a rotation movement of selectively lowering the legs and moving the legs backward from the start position in which the legs are pulled toward the user's chest, a movement of spreading both the legs apart and then putting the legs together as illustrated in FIG. 6, or a movement of spreading the legs from the start position of putting the legs together as illustrated in FIG. 7.

[0027] Preferably, the exercise device of the present invention may include a resistive force generator for generating a resistive force against pivoting of the slide arm 3. The resistive force generator may use a method of using a physical friction such as a tension of a belt and a magnetic drum and include a fluid resistor or a block box connected with a pneumatic pressure, a circular plate, and a wire.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY

[0028] The exercise device according to the present invention may be used for muscle strengthening equipment, an indoor exercise device, a bicycle, an indoor bicycle, a complex exercise device, a band exercise device, and an exercise device gear.
