The detailed description of preferred implementation

First preferred implementation

With reference to figure 1, the exercise device 10 of first preferred form of the present invention comprises integral platform 12 (that is, a single platform), connects at least five omnidirectional rolling elements 14 in its lower section.Preferably, platform 12 is circular as shown in Figure 1, and can have general flat upper surface 22.Preferably, equipment 10 disposes eight omnidirectional rolling elements 14 of castor 16 forms.Platform 12 can be made as for example injection moldable polymers, plywood laminate or solid wood and die-cast metal alloy by any suitable material.

Omnidirectional rolling element 14 is installed into as far as possible the periphery 18 near platform 12, and forms equidistant array.The feature of exercise device of the present invention is, its intrinsic stability is toppled over axis 20 and maximum sized contextual definition by every of equipment, and full-size can be measured between the opposite edges of platform.

Topple over axis 20 and be defined as connecting the line of adjacent rolling element and surface-supported contact point 24.In array under the equidistant situation, is 72 degree by the angle of toppling over the array centre that axis keeps at five rolling elements of minimum number.Limited features of the present invention comprises, by equipment topple over the angle that axis faces toward in the central authorities of the array of equidistant rolling element can not be greater than 72 degree.

The objective of the invention is to limit the tendency that this equipment is poured onto this point, wherein when normal the use, the weight that is placed on the equipment user's Anywhere health or its part can not cause the inclination of this equipment or topple over.For this reason, when mechanical constraint allowed, at least five omnidirectional rolling elements 14 of equipment 10 all were installed into the periphery 26 near platform 12.

In the preferred implementation shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, rolling element 14 rotation castors 16, its pivot 28 periphery 26 of poling that be positioned near platform 12.Preferably, castor 16 is low biasing castors, and promptly the distance between the vertical pivots of castor (or rotation) axis 30 and its horizontal wheels axis 32 is according to the required minimum of a value of direction of motion rotation castor that is applied to the vertical pivots line.This guarantees that castor remains on minimum of a value about the rotational circle of its rotation 30.This has then kept approaching with prolonging, as seeing by the platform of the track of contact point 24 definition of castor wheel 34 and supporting surface and this equipment in Fig. 3.

Fig. 3 shows castor wheel contact point track 110, about the relevant geometrical relationship between minimum five rolling elements of the maximum length of toppling over axis 120 of circular platform and equipment 100.Can prove that the ratio of in fact toppling over the full-size (being diameter D in this case) of axis 120 and platform 112 is about 0.6D.Further limited features of the present invention is that any length of toppling over axis is not more than 0.6D.

Fig. 4 shows the equivalent geometric figure about the preferred array of eight omnidirectional rolling elements, and it clearly shows will be less than 0.6D greater than the axial length of toppling over of five any amount of rolling element.From more also will understanding of Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, the zone 122 of dangling accordingly (and so tendency about toppling over) reduces with the increase of rolling element quantity.

Now turn back to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 again, preferably, castor 16 is that the low profile castor is so that upper surface is low as far as possible.Preferably, castor 16 also comprises the wheel 34 of wide relatively profile, and its outer rim is for example polyurethanes of 50ShoreA hardness of the seamless material of elasticity (resilient non-marking material) at least.The castor chassis can be pressed metal, stainless steel or aluminium, or metal casting, perhaps or even the injection molding plastics.

Fig. 2 shows other preferred upper surface, and wherein middle body is recessed and disposes the endless loop or the ridge 35 of a plurality of protrusions, thereby provides better grip for limbs or the part that rests on the user's body on this equipment.The circle that protrudes can constitute whole with the surface of recessed middle body 36, perhaps preferably forms the recessed pad of elastomeric material, as thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) (TPE), dilatancy EVA/PVC (closed pore) foam of 30-60ShoreA hardness.It also can be formed as " sand paper " surface that is used in the slide plate by the autoadhesion layer of high coefficient of friction material.In at least one preferred arrangement, the pad that covers middle body 36 is removable object, and material and the pattern configurations that can select by plurality of optional.

The protruding outward flange 38 that covers the connection pivot bolt of castor helps to impel the user to contact with equipment in the inboard of edge.

This arrangement makes that equipment can not be toppled over around toppling over axis by any application at user's weight any point place on platform 212.

The 4th preferred implementation

In the 4th preferred implementation of the present invention, with reference to figure 8-11, exercise device 200 comprises single-piece, overall structure platform 210 once more, is equipped with at least five, is preferably eight rolling elements 212.Platform 210 can be the form of circular or regular polygon as shown in Figure 9 as shown in Figure 8.

Preferably, platform 210 has recessed upper surface 214 slightly, and it is not subjected to handle, band tie point or other protrusions or recessed obstruction.The size of platform 210 allows two limbs, and for example two hands or two legs of the user that can see at Figure 14-17 and Figure 20 are placed in the position any desired on the surface 214 simultaneously.In addition, platform 210 is preferably even as big as allowing to be supported on reorientating of limbs on the platform 210 or two limbs when equipment 200 rolls on stayed surface.Preferably, the full-size of the point relative point to diameter ground on peripheral 216 of platform is not less than 34 centimetres.

Integral platform 210 can be formed by various material, and produces in every way.These comprise plastics that timber for example forms as molded glued board, by injection molding or the metal that forms by compacting or die casting.

Rolling element 212 is preferably the low profile castor, and when mechanical constraint is permitted, is mounted to make its rotation or pivotal axis 218 as far as possible near the periphery 216 of platform 210.

Refer now to Figure 12 and Figure 13, at any time, line define equipment 200 between two adjacent castor wheels 212 and the surface-supported contact point topple over axis 220, and by all polygons of toppling over axis 220 definition " track " of forming device on stayed surface.

Therefore from Figure 12 and 13 as can be seen, topple over the layout of axis 220, and with respect to the layout of the track of platform 210, when equipment uses, with the transient motion direction change of equipment.Therefore the quantity that it is to be further understood that rolling element 212 is big more, and the spacing of peripheral 216 place's rolling elements 212 is near more, and track and platform are in fact more closely with prolonging.Because eight equidistant rolling elements 212 of preferred amount are mounted to its rotation 218 extremely near platform periphery 216, so platform and track are in fact with prolonging, as particularly can be in Figure 12 seeing in the situation of polygon platform.If platform 200 is shapes of regular polygon, the rotation 218 of castor is oriented to fully near polygonal corner 222 simultaneously, as shown in figure 11, at least some of then toppling over axis 220 will overlap basically with the periphery 216 of platform 210 at any time, as seeing in the plan view.

In at least one preferred arrangement of the present invention, wherein platform is an octagon, simultaneously each castor is positioned poling near the corner of platform, equipment moving at least some constantly, at least one topples over axis is arranged in outside the limit of platform (when when plan view is seen).This situation can be seen in Figure 12.

Equally, in each of Figure 10-13, it can also be seen that at least some parts of some rolling elements at the trailing edge place at the edge of platform 210 will be protruded the periphery 216 of platform with respect to the direction of motion.

The feature of current preferred implementation is, for eight rolling elements 212, wherein rotation 218 is mounted poling near peripheral 216, any length of toppling over axis 220 is not less than 0.35D, and wherein D is on the periphery of platform any first and place maximum length between the relative point in the second diameter ground outward.

Similarly, because the rotation of rolling element is extremely near peripheral, so seven rolling element equipment according to the present invention will have the axis of toppling over that length is not less than 0.4D, has the axis of toppling over that length is not less than 0.45D for six rolling element equipment, and, topple over axial length and be not less than 0.53D for five rolling element equipment.

For in the configuration of these rolling elements each, except that rolling element was installed in mode shown in Figure 7 and described in the 3rd preferred implementation in the above, these minimum lengths of toppling over axis provided maximum stable possibility for the platform with castor rolling element.

The 5th preferred implementation

In the other optional embodiment of the equipment 300 of reference Figure 22 and Figure 23, rolling element can adopt the form of universal rolling-ball unit (ball transfer unit) 316.When mechanical constraint was permitted, these unit 316 were installed near peripheral 326 once more to guarantee the maximum stable of platform 312, no matter and the placement of user's one or two limbs.

Universal rolling-ball unit 316 comprises the spherical rolling element 334 that is supported in the shell, and shell allows rolling element to rotate along any direction, and this universal rolling-ball unit 316 has fixing contact point with respect to platform and stayed surface.Therefore, when equipment of the present invention was equipped with this class rolling element, the track of equipment was constant, as seeing in Figure 23.The size that depends on the universal rolling-ball unit 316 that is adopted with and the installation of the periphery 326 of contiguous platform 312, may be only smaller a little in this example than platform itself by the track of toppling over axis 320 definition of equipment.
