Abstract
An exercise unit for applying a rectilinear vibration and a swing vibration to the user. The exercise unit is divided into a lateral vibration part and a swing vibration part which are driven by two separated driving motor respectively. The lateral vibration part converts a rotative motion of the motor into a rectilinear vibrating motion to provide the user with the rectilinear vibration. The swing vibration part converts the rotative motion into a swing vibrating motion to provide the user with the swing vibration. The two parts may be selectively driven by a single driving motor.
Claims8
An exercise unit for whole body comprising:
- a lateral vibration part having:
- a first driving motor;
- a plurality of reduction pulleys, including a first and a last pulley rotatably supported by bearing housings and connected to a shaft of the first driving motor via a belt, the reduction pulleys being connected to each other in power transmission;
- means for converting the rotative motion of the reduction pulley into a rectilinear reciprocating motion;
- and
- a foot rest member mounted on the converting means via a bracket;
- and
- a swing vibration part having:
- a second driving motor;
- a reduction pulley rotatably supported by a bearing housing and connected to a shaft of the second driving motor via a belt;
- an eccentric shaft fixed to a shaft of the pulley;
- a bearing member surrounding the eccentric shaft;
- a second connecting rod connected at an end to a side of the bearing member;
- a rotating shaft rotatably supported by a supporting member;
- a pivot member mounted on an outer periphery of the rotating shaft and connected to the other end of the second connecting rod;
- and
- a foot rest assembly mounted on the rotating shaft.
An exercise unit for whole body comprising:
- a driving motor having a tapered pulley fixed to a shaft thereof;
- a lateral vibration part having:
- a larger tapered pulley rotatably supported by a bearing housing and connected to the tapered pulley of the driving motor by a belt;
- means for reducing a rotative speed of the larger tapered pulley;
- means for converting the rotative motion of an output shaft of the reducing means into a rectilinear reciprocating motion;
- and
- a foot rest member mounted on the converting means;
- a swing vibration having:
- a smaller tapered pulley adjacent to the larger tapered pulley and having an outer surface coinciding with an imaginary surface extended from the outer surface of the larger tapered pulley, the smaller tapered pulley being rotatably supported by a bearing housing and connected to the tapered pulley of the driving motor by a belt;
- an eccentric shaft fixed to a shaft of the smaller tapered pulley;
- a bearing member surrounding the eccentric shaft;
- a second connecting rod connected at one end thereof to a side of the bearing member;
- a rotating shaft rotatably supported by a supporting member;
- a pivot member mounted on an outer periphery of the rotating shaft and connected to the other end of the second connecting rod;
- and
- a foot rest assembly mounted on the rotating shaft;
- and
- means for shifting a side of the belt between the larger tapered pulley and the smaller tapered pulley while maintaining the other side of the belt on the tapered pulley of the driving motor.
