KAYAKING TRAINER

摘要

A paddling action simulating exerciser in the form of a kayaking trainer 10 comprises a paddle action simulating formation. In the form of a paddle simulating pole 12, a cord 14 that extends along the pole 12 in linearly displaceably passing therethrough, a hollow spacer 18 extending between a seating facility 20 and an anchoring layout including a cord guiding layout 22 via which the free ends 14.3, 14.4 of the cord 14 are secured to a spring 24. A multi-directionally adjustable footplate facility 40 including an upright foot abutment plate 42 fitted with a heel rest 44 and a toe strap 46 is fitted along the spacer 18. The spacer 18, seating facility 20, leg 30, footplate facility 40 and guiding layout 22 in constituting a trainer core assembly 28 is laterally rockable by way of rocking formations 78 fitting along slots 80.

1. A paddling action simulating exerciser (10) comprising
a paddle action simulating formation (12) arranged to simulate an at least one end region paddle blade type paddling action, a cord (14) that extends at least part of the length of the formation (12) there along and there beyond from at least one of the opposite end regions of the formation, expansibly contractible resilient means (24) that is associated with the cord, and an anchoring layout (22, 92) to which at least the one end of the cord (14) as extending beyond the formation is at least indirectly secured and from which the cord (14) is caused to tensionably extend up to and along the formation once held for use in performing a paddle action simulating action as thus performable by way of a to-and-fro paddling stroke relative to the anchoring layout (22, 92) with respect to which the formation (12) is under conditions of use remotely situated; characterised in the cord (14) extends displaceably relative to the formation (12) while the resilient means (24) is associated with the cord by being arranged and positioned to in conjunction with a frictional resistive action on the cord in becoming displaced against being damaged along the formation, as accommodating such, and once the exerciser is in use contribute to the simulation of a water paddling action with in the case of a one end region involving paddle blade type paddling action at least part of the resilient means also being mounted along the formation from the inner end of the cord to permit its displacement along the formation during performance of an exerciser in use paddling simulating action.
