BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
• The present disclosure provides exercise equipment including an elastic plate that is made of an elastic material with a predetermined length so that as the user waves the elastic plate up and down, waves are elastically formed to have the same exercise effect as that of a battle rope; and a weighted member that is provided at one end of the elastic plate, in which as a user holds and waves a handle provided at the other end of the elastic plate, the elastic plate elastically forms waves.
• The scope of the present disclosure is not limited to embodiments described below, and various modifications may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the technical gist of the present disclosure.
• Hereinafter, the exercise equipment of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the attachedFIGS.2 to10.
• As illustrated inFIGS.5 to7,exercise equipment10 of the present disclosure may include anelastic plate100 made of an elastic material with a predetermined length, a weightedmember200 provided at one end of theelastic plate100, and ahandle110 provided at the other end of theelastic plate100.
• The shape of theelastic plate100 is not limited, but as illustrated inFIGS.2 to8, it is preferably formed in the shape of a strip-shaped leaf spring as a structure suitable for elastically forming waves.
• As the user holds thehandle110 provided at the other end of theelastic plate100 and waves thehandle110 in the up and down directions, waves are formed elastically toward one end of theelastic plate100, theelastic plate100 elastically forms waves toward one end, and the elastically formed waves may gradually become larger depending on the waving width of the user.
• In addition, the size of the wave elastically formed toward one end may increase due to theweighted member200 provided at one end of theelastic plate100, and the size of the wave may be proportional to the weight of theweighted member200.
• The weightedmember200 may be provided at one end of theelastic plate100 as illustrated inFIGS.5 and6, and theweighted member200 with different weights may be replaced and used depending on the user's condition or the user's exercise ability to be detachably coupled from one end of theelastic plate100.
• For example, when an elderly person with weak muscles uses theelastic plate100, theweighted member200 may be separated from theelastic plate100 so that only theelastic plate100 may be used without the weightedmember200. When an expert uses theelastic plate100, theweighted member200 is separated from theelastic plate100 so that exercise may be performed using a weightedmember200 heavier than the standard weightedmember200. Thereafter, the heavier weightedmember200 may be coupled to one end of theelastic plate100.
• In addition, the weightedmember200 may be moved in the longitudinal direction of theelastic plate100 to shift the center of gravity of theelastic plate100. Through this, even if the sameweighted member200 is used, the user may stimulate muscles in the desired area by changing the center of gravity of theelastic plate100.
• The weightedmember200 is formed in a round shape inFIGS.2 to8, but is not limited to its shape or material, and may be used in various shapes depending on the length, elastic force, and area of theelastic plate100.
• In addition, theweighted member200 may be formed with a certain weight that may be converted into weights and measures such as KG units or pounds. As described above, the weightedmembers200 with different weights may be replaced and used depending on the user's condition or exercise ability.
• Based on the above-described information, theelastic plate100 made of an elastic material with a predetermined length has a weightedmember200 provided at one end thereof, and as the user holds and waves the other end of theelastic plate100, theelastic plate100 may provide the same exercise effect as that of the battle rope to the user's body by forming the elastic waves in the waving direction of the user.
• As illustrated inFIGS.5 to8, theelastic plate100 may have thehandle110 provided at the other end so that the user may easily hold theelastic plate100, and thehandle110 is formed in a rod shape with a predetermined length, and one end may be detachably coupled to the other end of theelastic plate100. In this case, the shape of thehandle110 is described as a rod, but the shape is not limited.
• In this case, there is no limitation on the way thehandle110 and theelastic plate100 are coupled. For example, a male thread is formed on one end of thehandle110, and a female thread is formed on theelastic plate100, and thus, one end of thehandle110 may be inserted and fastened to the other end of theelastic plate100.
• As illustrated inFIGS.7 and8, thehandle110 has an empty space formed on the inside, and the length of theelastic plate100 may be adjusted as theelastic plate100 is partially inserted into the inside of thehandle110.
• In this case, thecoupling part111 may be formed at one end of thehandle110 in a shape where the area becomes narrower toward one direction.
• Thecoupling part111 formed on thehandle110 is provided with an inlet through which theelastic plate100 may be inserted into the empty space formed inside thehandle110, and when theelastic plate100 is inserted into the inlet, the inlet may pressurize theelastic plate100.
• In addition, thehandle110 may include afixture112 for fixing the position of theelastic plate100 inserted into the empty space on the inside through the inlet.
• The inside of thefixture112 is formed in a shape corresponding to the outside of thecoupling part111 of thehandle110, and theelastic plate100 partially inserted into the inside of thehandle110 through the inlet formed in thecoupling part111 is engaged with thecoupling part111 to be fixed, so the inlet of thecoupling part111 may be pressed, thereby fixing theelastic plate100 to thehandle110.
• The shapes of thecoupling part111 and thefixture112 may be formed in various shapes, and there is no limitation on the coupling structure in which theelastic plate100 is fixed by fastening thecoupling part111 and thefixture112.
• In addition, theelastic plate100 may be inserted into the direction of the other end of theseparated handle110, and the other end of theelastic plate100 is provided with astopper113 to prevent theelastic plate100 from being discharged in excess of a predetermined length as illustrated inFIG.7.
• In addition, thehandle110 may be engraved with a specific pattern or have a protrusion formed therein to prevent the user's hand from slipping due to friction at a point held by the user.
• In this case, there are no limitations on the shape and pattern to prevent the friction formed on thehandle110.
• As illustrated inFIGS.2 to4 and8 to9, thesupport300 may include asupport part310 supported by the ground, and aconnection part320 formed upward from thesupport part310. Thesupport part310 is illustrated in a ‘U’ shape inFIGS.2 and9, but it is preferably formed in a shape to be stably supported on the ground, and the shape is not limited.
• Theconnection part320 may extend upward from one end of thesupport part310 and is detachably coupled to thehandle110 in a lying state that is spaced apart from thesupport300, and it is preferable that the coupling structure of theconnection part320 and thehandle110 be coupled in a screw coupling structure that may be easily coupled and may withstand a certain load.
• Thehandle110 coupled to thesupport300 can be used as a push-up module as illustrated inFIG.9, and the user may hold thehandle110 while supporting at least one push-up module on the ground to perform a push-up motion.
• Based on the above-described contents, theexercise equipment10 of the present disclosure may have thehandle110 coupled to the other end of theelastic plate100 and detachably coupled to thesupport300 and theelastic plate100, when only thehandle110 and theelastic plate100 are coupled, may be used in a small space while preventing noise between floors, may allow the user to obtain the same exercise effect as that of the battle rope on the user's body by forming the elastic waves in the waving direction of the user, and when only thehandle110 and thesupport300 are coupled, may be used as the push-up module to enable the push-up in various postures.
• Theexercise equipment10 of the present disclosure can be easily utilized by users to enable various types of exercise.
