従来の特許文献１のように、両足の足首部分を乗せて電動により足首を左右に往復作動するように構成したものは、箱状の中に電動モーターと駆動装置を構成し、箱の上部に足乗せ台を出す構造であるため、電動モーターや駆動装置などの複雑の装置が必要であるといった課題がある。さらには、足乗せ台の左右の移動量が小さいので、十分な運動量が得られないといった課題を有する。  As in the conventional patent document 1, an ankle portion of both feet is put on and the ankle is reciprocated to the left and right by electricity. An electric motor and a driving device are configured in a box shape, There is a problem that a complicated device such as an electric motor or a driving device is required because of the structure for taking out the footrest. Furthermore, since the left and right movement amount of the footrest is small, there is a problem that a sufficient amount of exercise cannot be obtained.

特許文献２のように、１枚のボード上に両足を乗せて、両足を左右に振ることにより運動を行うものでは、４個のローラーが一定の曲線半径をもって固定されているので、身長等に差がある場合には使用しにくい、又は使用できないといった課題を有する。  As in Patent Document 2, in a case where both feet are placed on a single board and the exercise is performed by swinging both feet to the left and right, the four rollers are fixed with a constant curve radius. When there is a difference, it is difficult to use or cannot be used.

特許文献３の場合も、特許文献１の例と同様に両足の足首部分を乗せて電動により足首を左右に往復作動するように構成したものであるため、電動モーターや駆動装置といった複雑な装置が必要であるといった課題を有し、腰部を回転台に乗せて大きな運動はできるものの、両足を平行に揃えて同じ方向への運動しかできないといった課題を有する。  In the case of Patent Document 3, as in the example of Patent Document 1, since the ankle portions of both feet are put on and the ankle is reciprocated by left and right by electricity, a complicated device such as an electric motor or a driving device is used. Although there is a problem that it is necessary and a large exercise can be performed by placing the lumbar part on a turntable, there is a problem that both feet can be aligned in parallel and can only be exercised in the same direction.

特許文献４の場合は、直線状の軌道上に両足を乗せる足乗せ台を設置して、立った状態で足を左右に開閉して運動するものであるが、立った状態で両足の開閉を実施するために状態が不安定となり危険であるといった課題を有し、比較的おおきな軌道を必要とするので、収納等が不便であるといった課題を有する。  In the case of Patent Document 4, a footrest on which both feet are placed on a linear track is installed, and the foot is moved by opening and closing the foot left and right while standing, but both feet can be opened and closed while standing. In order to implement, there is a problem that the state becomes unstable and dangerous, and since a relatively large track is required, there is a problem that storage or the like is inconvenient.

特許文献５の場合は、足部と腰部のそれぞれが異なる方向で左右に往復運動するものであるが、両足は揃えて左右に運動するのみであるので、足の開閉等の大きな運動はできないといった課題を有する。In the case of Patent Document 5, the foot part and the waist part reciprocate left and right in different directions. However, since both legs are aligned and moved left and right, large movements such as opening and closing of the legs cannot be performed. Has a problem.

そこで本発明の目的は、簡単な構造及びコンパクトなサイズで収納性が良好であり、寝た状態で安全に小さな運動から足の開閉等の大きな運動まで十分な運動が可能で、体の大小や身長の高低に関わらず誰でも自分に適した運動が可能な健康運動器具を提供することにある。  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to have a simple structure and a compact size, which is easy to store, and can perform a sufficient exercise from a small exercise to a large exercise such as opening and closing of a foot safely in a sleeping state. The goal is to provide a healthy exercise device that allows anyone to exercise regardless of their height.

本発明の健康運動器具は、概Ｕ字溝状の足乗せ台（１）を有し、前記足乗せ台（１）の底部（３）には複数の動輪（２）を回動自在に固定したことを特徴とし、さらには腰部を乗せて回転運動を行う回転台（４）と共に使用することを特徴とする。  The health exercise equipment of the present invention has a substantially U-shaped grooved footrest (1), and a plurality of driving wheels (2) are rotatably fixed to the bottom (3) of the footrest (1). Further, the present invention is characterized in that it is used together with a turntable (4) that carries out a rotational movement with the waist on.

本発明の健康運動器具を用いれば、概Ｕ字溝状の足乗せ台と足乗せ台の底部に固定した回動自在の複数の動輪のみの構成であるので、構造が簡単であり、サイズも小さいといった効果を有する。  If the health exercise equipment of the present invention is used, it has a simple U-shaped groove-shaped footrest and a plurality of rotatable wheels fixed to the bottom of the footrest. It has the effect of being small.

また、仰向けに寝た状態で運動するので安全であり、一対の健康運動器具のそれぞれに片足を乗せて自分の力で運動でき、片足づつが自由に動くために小さな運動から大きな運動まで運動の強さを自由に調整できるといった効果を有する。  Also, it is safe because you exercise while lying on your back, and you can exercise with your own power by putting one foot on each of the pair of healthy exercise equipment. The effect is that the strength can be adjusted freely.

さらには、足乗せ台の底部には複数の動輪が回動自在に固定されて前後左右、斜め方向にも自在に動くので、体の大小や身長の高低に関わらず、誰でも自分に適した運動ができるといった効果を有する。  In addition, a plurality of wheels are pivotally fixed to the bottom of the footrest and move freely in the front, back, left, right, and diagonal directions. It has the effect of being able to exercise.

安全で構造が簡単であり、サイズも小さく、小さな運動から大きな運動まで運動の強さを自由に調整でき、体の大小や身長の高低に関わらず、誰でも自分に適した運動ができる健康運動器具を提供するといった目的を、概Ｕ字溝状の足乗せ台と前記足乗せ台の底部に複数の動輪を回動自在に固定した、一対の健康運動器具を提供することにより実現した。さらには、腰部を乗せて回転運動をうながす回転台を使用することにより、運動の種類や強弱に変化を与えることができるのである。  A healthy exercise that is safe and simple in structure, small in size, can freely adjust the intensity of exercise from small to large exercises, and can be used by anyone regardless of body size or height The object of providing an instrument was realized by providing a pair of health exercise instruments in which a generally U-shaped groove-like footrest and a plurality of moving wheels are rotatably fixed to the bottom of the footrest. Furthermore, by using a turntable that puts on the waist and promotes the rotational motion, it is possible to change the type and strength of the motion.

FIG. 6 is an example diagram showing one-leg opening / closing motion, and FIG. 7 is an example diagram showing one-leg rotational motion.

本実施例による健康運動器具（５）の構成は、プラスチック成型による概Ｕ字溝状の足乗せ台（１）の底部（３）に、４個の回動自在のキャスターを固定して動輪（２）としたものである。足乗せ台（１）は左右どちらの足を乗せても良いように上面から見て左右対称に形成されている。動輪（２）であるキャスターは３個が三角形上に固定されていれば健康運動器具（５）は安定しているが、安定した回転運動を考慮すれば動輪（２）であるキャスターは４個であることが望ましい。  The health exercise equipment (5) according to the present embodiment has a structure in which four rotatable casters are fixed to the bottom (3) of a substantially U-shaped grooved footrest (1) made of plastic molding. 2). The footrest (1) is formed symmetrically when viewed from above so that either the right or left foot may be placed. If three casters that are the driving wheels (2) are fixed on the triangle, the healthy exercise equipment (5) is stable, but if considering the stable rotational motion, the four casters that are the driving wheels (2). It is desirable that

健康運動器具の使用方法は、仰向けに寝た状態で両足首を一対（２個で一組）の健康運動器具（５）にそれぞれ乗せ、足を前後左右に振ることにより健康運動器具（５）も前後左右に動いて足の開閉運動や回転運動ができるのである。この時、必要に応じて腰の下の部分に回転自在の回転台（４）を用いれば、より大きな回転運動が可能で大きな運動の効果が得られる。  The health exercise equipment can be used by placing both ankles on a pair (two pairs) of healthy exercise equipment (5) while lying on their back and swinging their legs back and forth and left and right (5) Also, it can move back and forth and right and left to open and close and rotate the foot. At this time, if a rotatable turntable (4) is used in the lower part of the waist as required, a larger rotational motion is possible and a large motion effect is obtained.

図４は本実施例の健康運動器具（５）に両足をそれぞれ乗せて、両足を揃えて左右に振る運動の例を示したものである。この時、腰を回転台（４）に乗せて左右への振り子運動を行えば、両足及び腰も左右に振られて大きな運動量が得られ、腰や足に対して効果的な運動が得られる。  FIG. 4 shows an example of exercise in which both feet are placed on the health exercise equipment (5) of the present embodiment, and both feet are aligned and shaken to the left and right. At this time, if the waist is placed on the turntable (4) and the pendulum motion is performed to the left and right, both legs and the waist are also swung to the left and right to obtain a large momentum, and an effective motion can be obtained for the waist and legs.

図５は両足の開閉運動の例を示したものであり、両足首を健康運動器具（５）に乗せて両足を同時に開いたり閉じたりすることにより腰や足に効果的な運動が得られる。  FIG. 5 shows an example of opening and closing exercises of both feet. Effective exercises for the waist and feet can be obtained by placing both ankles on a healthy exercise device (5) and simultaneously opening and closing both feet.

図６は片足のみの開閉運動の例を示したものであり、少なくとも片方の足を健康運動器具（５）に乗せて片足のみ開閉運動をする例である。一方の足は固定されてふんばる状態となるので、両足を同時に開閉運動する場合とは異なった効果的な運動が得られる。  FIG. 6 shows an example of opening and closing exercises with only one foot, and is an example in which at least one foot is placed on the health exercise equipment (5) and only one foot is opened and closed. Since one leg is fixed and inflated, an effective movement different from the case where both legs are opened and closed simultaneously can be obtained.

図７は片足の回転運動の例を示したものであり、一方の足は開いて固定し、もう一方の足を健康運動器具（５）に乗せて回転運動をすることにより効果的な運動が得られる。    FIG. 7 shows an example of the rotational movement of one leg. One leg is opened and fixed, and the other leg is placed on the health exercise equipment (5) to perform an effective movement. can get.

本実施例の健康運動器具（５）は、概Ｕ字溝状の足乗せ台（１）であるので、左右の運動に対してはＵ字形状の内側に入れた足の動きに対して追従性が良好であり、前後の動きに対しては足首の踵部分が足乗せ台に引っかかって足乗せ台が用意に追従するのである。動輪（２）であるキャスターが回動自在に固定されているので、足の動きに合わせて健康運動器具は容易に回転するのである。Since the healthy exercise device (5) of the present embodiment is a substantially U-shaped grooved footrest (1), it follows the movement of the foot placed inside the U-shape for the left and right movements. The ankle heel is caught on the footrest and the footrest follows the preparation for forward and backward movement. Since the caster which is a driving wheel (2) is being fixed so that rotation is possible, a healthy exercise device rotates easily according to a motion of a leg.
