Abstract
Description
- This invention relates to a body vibration machine, particularly to one whose vibration frequency received by a user's feet can be modulated according to practical needs and which can be controlled to start or stop operating anytime, flexible in use and able to satisfy users of different foot conditions
- A vibration-training method is one using a machine to trigger a man's muscles to vibrate for attaining the effect of stimulating a man's neuromuscular system, and the stimulating intensity is decided by the vibration frequency and the amplitude of the vibration. The vibration frequency means a cycle of the vibration in a unit time to be numerated with HZ, while the amplitude means a half of the differential value between the maximum and the minimum value in the cyclic vibration. Vibration training is helpful to promote the maximum equal-length muscular force and the maximum dynamic muscular force for those who were not trained and are aged, and it also can help maintain the density of osseous tissue of the aged. Therefore, vibration training has following advantages in physiological reaction.
- 1. It can effectively strengthen nervous muscles.
- 2. It can enhance a man's muscular force, muscular exploding force and the extent of muscle softness in a short period.
- 3. It has excellent effect on rehabilitation, such as abating ache in the lower half back, improvement of osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis as well as delay of senility.
- 4. It is beneficial to a man's circulatory system and able to promote the function of metabolism.
- 5. It has effect on bodybuilding and health protection.
A conventional body vibration machine (see for example documentUS-A-3683896 ) is provided with a vibrating plate for a user's feet to step thereon and a single vibration motor for driving the vibrating stand to vibrate. However, the vibration frequency and the amplitude produced by the vibration motor are evenly distributed to two feet. Therefore, such a conventional body vibration machine is not applicable for a user whose feet have different strengths and need to receive different vibration frequencies. In addition, if only one foot needs to take vibration training, the user has to lift and suspend the other foot in the air, thus likely to cause stumbling and falling to a user (especially to one who is under rehabilitation) because of the unstable gravitational center of his body. - The objective of the invention is to offer a body vibration machine able to be modulated in vibration frequency and controlled to start or stop operating according to a user's needs.
The body vibration machine in the present invention includes two vibrating plates respectively and dependently installed at the location on which a user's feet step. The two vibrating plates are respectively supported by elastic support members, and two vibration driving devices (like vibration motors) are respectively assembled under and vibrate the vibrating plates. The two vibration driving devices can be respectively modulated in vibration frequency and controlled to start or stop operating according to a user's needs. - This invention will be better understood by referring to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
-
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a body vibration machine in the present invention; -
Fig. 2 is a partial exploded perspective view of the body vibration machine in the present invention; -
Fig. 3 is a partial cross-sectional view of the body vibration machine in the present invention; and -
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the body vibration machine in a using condition in the present invention. - A preferred embodiment of a body vibration machine in the present invention, as shown in
Figs. 1 ,2 and3 , includes adriving base 10, anupright post 20 and acontrol display 30 as main components combined together.
Thedriving base 10, as shownFig. 2 , is made by combining alower casing 11 with anupper casing 12 together. Thelower casing 11 is formed with an upside opening in the topside, and theupper casing 12 formed with an underside opening and a soft topside is fitted on thelower casing 11. A plurality ofelastic support members 13 are evenly disposed in the inner space formed by the upper and thelower casing lower casing 11. The left and the right group of theelastic support members 13 have the upper end respectively fixed with avibration plate 14 positioned independently and separately. Two vibration driving devices 15 (like vibration motors shown inFig. 3 ) are respectively installed under the vibratingplates 14, and a softanti-slip pad 17, such as a foamed material, is fixed at the underside of thelower casing 11 for preventing thedriving base 10 from slipping.
Theupright post 20 extending upward is positioned at the rear side of thedriving base 10.
Thecontrol display 30 fixed at the upper end of theupright post 20 consists of controllingkeys 31 and adisplay screen 32. Ahandrail frame 33 is provided around the outer side of thecontrol display 30 for a user's hands to hold thereon so as to stabilize his body when he stands on theupper casing 12 and the vibratingstand 14.
In using, firstly, a user stands on theupper casing 12 and has his two feet respectively stepped on the left and right vibratingstand 14. Then, the twovibration drivers 15 under the two vibratingplates 14 are respectively started to drive the vibratingplates 14 to work. By so designing, the body vibration machine of this invention has the following advantages. - 1. The two vibrating
plates 14 are respectively driven to vibrate by one independentvibration driving device 15; therefore, the two vibratingplates 14 can be respectively modulated to vibrate with different vibration frequencies, or controlled to have only one vibratingplate 14 vibrating and the other one stopped in accordance with user's need. - 2. The two vibrating
plates 14 are respectively adjustable in vibration frequency for strengthening or balancing the strength of user's two feet. For instance, a user can have his comparatively weak foot stepped on one vibratingplate 14 that produces higher vibration frequency and have the other foot stepped on the other vibratingplate 14 that produces lower vibration frequency.
While the preferred embodiment of the invention has been described above, it will be recognized and understood that various modifications may be made therein and the appended claims are intended to cover all such modifications that may fall within the spirit and scope of the invention.
