发明名称 Omnidirectional exercise platform
摘要 A triangular shaped omnidirectional exercise platform includes a base member, a pad member and three ball transfer units. The pad member is carried by a top surface of the base member. The three ball transfer units are coupled to a bottom surface of the base member. The three ball transfer units are arranged having an equal angular offset therebetween providing stability to the exercise platform during use. The ball transfer units each comprise a hemispherical housing, a primary ball member and a plurality of secondary ball members disposed between an inner surface of the hemispherical housing and the primary ball member. The base member can include an upper body member and a lower body member. The pad member can be manufactured of a pliant material. Features of the pad member can identify a stability region of the exercise platform. The platform can have a convex arched top surface.

主权项 1. An omnidirectional exercise platform for facilitating a physical training exercise, comprising: a base member having a triangular shape comprising three corners and three sides, each side extending between adjacent corners, said triangular shaped base member having a top surface, an opposite bottom surface and a sidewall extending between a peripheral region of said top surface and a peripheral region of said opposite bottom surface; a circular pad member having a top surface, an opposing bottom surface and at least one sidewall disposed there between, said at least one sidewall defines a peripheral edge of said pad member, said pad member carried by said top surface of said base member; and three ball transfer unit receiving sockets formed extending inward from said bottom surface of said base member, each of said three ball transfer unit receiving sockets being located proximate a respective corner of said three corners; and three ball transfer units, each ball transfer unit being assembled within a respective ball transfer unit receiving socket of said three ball transfer unit receiving sockets, each ball transfer unit comprising a spherical ball member having a centroid, wherein said peripheral edge is positioned outwardly from a center of said omnidirectional exercise platform to a position substantially aligned with or inward of each ball transfer unit centroid, thus ensuring said omnidirectional exercise platform maintains stability against a support surface when a user grips the omnidirectional exercise platform at any position on the pad member, wherein said plurality of ball transfer units substantially reduces rolling resistance when said omnidirectional exercise platform is loaded over a support surface during the physical training exercise.
