Abstract
A rolling-type exercise device includes a base having a central opening formed therein. A plurality of bearing assemblies are operatively coupled to the base. Each bearing assembly includes a pair of bearing supports and a bearing axle extending between the pair of bearing supports and being coupled to the pair of bearing supports so as to facilitate rotation of the bearing axle relative to the base. A roller operatively interfaces each bearing axle of the plurality of bearing assemblies and at least partially protruding through the central opening, the roller being configured to rotate relative to the base within the central opening.
Claims20
An exercise device comprising:
- a base having a user engagement portion including a planar upper surface extending within an upper plane and configured to support a user while standing thereon;
- a plurality of bearing assemblies operatively coupled to the base, each bearing assembly of the plurality of bearing assemblies including:
- a pair of bearing supports;
- and
- a bearing axle extending between the pair of bearing supports and being coupled to the pair of bearing supports so as to facilitate rotation of the bearing axle relative to the base;
- and
- a roller operatively interfacing each bearing axle of the plurality of bearing assemblies, the roller being spaced from the upper plane and configured to rotate relative to the base.
An exercise device comprising:
- a base disposed about a central axis and having an outer periphery circumnavigating the central axis and a recess;
- a plurality of bearing axles configured to be rotatable relative to the base, each bearing axle of the plurality of bearing axles having an elongate configuration and extending along a respective axle axis;
- a roller operatively interfacing each bearing axle of the plurality of bearing axles, the roller being configured to;
- a brake operatively engageable with the roller and configured to selectively impart a force on the roller to inhibit movement of the roller relative to the base;
- and
- a brake actuator located within the recess and configured to be manually controllable and to facilitate movement of the brake relative to the roller;
- the outer periphery being of a maximum magnitude within a plane spaced from the roller.
An exercise device comprising:
- a base;
- a plurality of bearing axles configured to be rotatable relative to the base, each bearing axle of the plurality of bearing axles having an elongate configuration and extending along a respective axle axis;
- a roller operatively interfacing each bearing axle of the plurality of bearing axles, the roller being configured to;
- a brake operatively engageable with the roller and configured to selectively impart a force on the roller to inhibit movement of the roller relative to the base;
- and
- a brake actuator configured to be manually controllable and to facilitate movement of the brake relative to the roller;
- wherein the base includes a recess and the brake actuator is located within the recess.
