Abstract
Description
- 1. Field
- The present invention relates to an upper body exercise apparatus that combines upper body movements to achieve assisted push-up and dip exercise. More particularly, the present invention is associated with an exercise apparatus having separately supported platform for a portion of a user combining coordinated upper body exercise with the motion of the platform. When the torso of a user is positioned on the platform, energy storage devices absorb energy during the down stroke of push-up exercise. As the user begins the up stroke, the absorbed energy assists the user during the up stroke. A pair of handles are provided for dip exercise where the lower body contacts the platform. Further, the exercise apparatus provides adjustable energy storage.
- 2. State of the Art
- The benefits of regular exercise to improve overall health, appearance and longevity are well documented in the literature. For exercise enthusiasts the search continues for safe apparatus that provides exercise for maximum benefit in minimum time.
- The prior art is abundant with apparatus intending to aid the push-up exercise. One category of push-up exercise apparatus makes the push-up exercise more difficult. Gauzer in U.S. Pat. No. 5,033,741 shows an isometric push-up machine that positions a spring loaded pad to the back of a user to increase to difficulty of push-ups. Escobedo et al. in U.S. Pat. No. 5,106,079 shows an apparatus to add weights to the back of a user to increase the difficulty of push-ups.
- Another category of push-up type exercise has torso or chest contact. Costa in U.S. Pat. No. 5,242,358 shows a counting device which contacts the chest of a user performing push-ups. Roberts in U.S. Pat. No. 5,269,736 shows a stationary torso support to position a user for operation of a hand crank. Westmoreland, Jr. in U.S. Pat. No. 5,330,408 shows a stationary torso support and a set of moving handles for push-up type movements. Bergman in U.S. Pat. No. 7,060,014 shows an apparatus for assisting a user to perform push-up exercise where the user is positioned upon a lengthy platform that is pivoted beyond the feet with a spring bias for push-up assist. Dubrul et al. in U.S. Pat. No. 7,318,793 shows a floor device that contacts the chest for push-up assist.
- A category of dip exercise apparatus usually includes a framework having handles to support the user. Wilson in U.S. Pat. No. 4,638,995 shows a convertible exercise chair that may be repositioned for dip exercise. Marples in U.S. Pat. No. 5,096,187 shows a framework with handles for dip exercise. Potts in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,540,639 and Re. 34,212 shows devices for assisted dip exercise where the user stands on a moving platform that provides assist. Holmes et al. in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,312,313 and 5,499,959 also shows devices for assisted dip exercise. Ropp in U.S. Pat. No. 5,372,556 shows an assisted dip exercise apparatus that has a counterweighted knee platform. Webb et al. in U.S. Pat. No. 5,322,489 also uses a knee platform to assist with dip exercise. Towley, III in U.S. Pat. No. 5,011,139 provides a foot bar to assist dip exercise. Killian et al. in U.S. Pat. No. 5,407,404 also provides a foot bar to assist dip exercise.
- There remains a need for a simple push-up and dip apparatus that assists in the performance of push-up and dip exercise that provides the additional versatility of adjustable assist.
- The present invention relates to the motion control of a platform where the platform supports the torso or lower body of a user. More particularly, apparatus is provided that offers push-up and dip assisted exercise in conjunction with upper body motion.
- In the preferred embodiment, the exercise apparatus is configured for upper body exercise. The framework is positioned upon a supporting surface and comprises a pair of parallel frame rails and connecting members. A pair of handles are attached to the framework for dip exercise. A platform for torso support contacts the chest of a user preparing to perform push-ups. A pair of guide tracks are vertically attached to the framework. A pair of guides are attached to the platform at either end and are in slidable contact with the guide tracks.
- A pair of energy storage devices are attached to either side of the platform and to the framework. One embodiment uses springs as the energy storage devices where the number of springs used can vary the intensity of exercise. Another embodiment uses elastic cords as the energy storage devices where the cord routing and connections to the framework may be adjusted to vary the intensity of exercise.
- To operate the exercise apparatus, the user kneels on the supporting surface and positions the torso upon the platform. The hands of the user are placed upon the supporting surface and the legs are straightened. The arms then allow the torso of the user to be lowered allowing the energy storage devices to absorb energy during the down stroke. After sufficient lowering occurs, the user then applies additional muscle effort to begin the up stroke assisted by the force supplied upon the platform by the energy storage devices.
- For dip exercise, the user grasps the handles and allows the lower body to rest upon the platform. As the arms of the user lowers the user, the platform is lowered and energy is stored in the energy storage devices. As the arms of the user raise the user, the platform assists the user due to the added upward force provided by the energy storage devices.
- Adjustment of the energy storage devices allow higher levels of assist for the novice performing push-ups or dips to low levels for the better conditioned athlete. The hands may be positioned closer together on a side to side basis or further apart to change the effort and muscles used for push-up exercise.
- In summary, this invention provides the user with assisted push-up and dip exercise provided by the platform movement and energy storage devices. The energy storage devices are adjustable to vary the intensity of exercise.
- The foregoing and other objects and features of the present invention will become more fully apparent from the following description and claims, taken in conjunction with the drawings. Understanding that these drawings depict only typical embodiments of the invention and are, therefore, not to be considered limiting of its scope or combinations, the invention will be described with additional specificity and detail through use of the accompanying drawings in which:
