Exercise machine

摘要

An exercise device having a rigid base includes at least one frame fixed with and extending upwardly therefrom. An outer barrel is rotationally fixed with the upper end of each frame at a tilt mechanism. Both an outer barrel and an inner barrel are open from a top side to a bottom side thereof for accommodating the person therein. At least one inflatable cushion is fixed with an inner side of the inner barrel. An adjustable leg support mechanism projects downwardly from the inner barrel and is adapted to support the person's feet and legs. An electric control console controls motorized tilt and spin mechanisms to tilt the outer barrel with respect to vertical and spin the inner barrel with respect to the outer barrel. Preferably the control console further includes at least a processor, a computer-readable storage medium, a display, an input interface, and a network interface.

主权项

1. An exercise device for facilitating exercising of a person on a floor surface, the exercise device comprising:
a base for supporting the exercise device on the floor surface; at least one frame fixed with and extending upwardly from the base, each frame having a lower end and an upper end; an outer barrel rotationally fixed with the upper end of each frame at a tilt mechanism, the outer barrel having an outer side, an inner side, and open from a top side to a bottom side, the outer barrel having an opening therethrough for allowing ingress and egress of the person into the outer barrel; an inner barrel having an outer side, an inner side, and open from a top side to a bottom side, the inner barrel rotationally captured with the inner side of the outer barrel and sharing a common longitudinal axis through the top and bottom sides with the outer barrel, the inner barrel having an opening therethrough for allowing ingress and egress of the person into the inner barrel, at least one cushion fixed with the inner side of the inner barrel to support the person within the inner barrel; a leg support mechanism projecting downwardly from the bottom side of the inner barrel and adapted to support the person's feet and legs when the person is positioned within the inner barrel; wherein the leg support mechanism further includes a leg support frame fixed at a top end thereof with the inner barrel and at a bottom end thereof with a foot platform for supporting the person's feet thereon, the leg support frame having a height adjustment mechanism to accommodate people with varying leg lengths; and wherein the leg support frame further includes a pair of knee cuffs, each knee cuff having an upper cuff and a lower cuff mutually pivotal at a back pivot thereof, the back pivot manually lockable with a locking lever to prevent mutual rotation between each upper and lower cuff whereby the person, when positioned within the inner barrel and with his feet and legs supported by the leg support mechanism, may be tilted with respect to vertical and rotated with respect to the longitudinal axis of the barrels in order to achieve different orientations in which to do exercises for exercising various muscles.
