20090054218 | Exerciser with Two Rotatable Disks - An exerciser includes a hollow base having two openings. Each opening includes at least one first circular groove. Two bearing members are received in the two openinigs, and each has a frame with which a plurality of balls are rotatably engaged. Two disks are rotatably mounted on the two bearing members respectively, and each disk includes at least one second circular groove and teeth defined in an underside thereof. The balls are rotatably engaged between the at least one first circular groove and the at least one second circular groove. A driving gear is located in the hollow base and engaged with the teeth of both of the two disks. | 02-26-2009 |
20090163337 | EXERCISER FOR PHYSICAL THERAPY - The invention relates to medical engineering and can be used for therapeutic and remedial exercises and for remedial gymnastics or sports. The inventive training device for physical therapy comprises a frame provided with a base, a platform placed on the base, an additional platform and at least one arm support. Said platform and additional platform are embodied in the form of for supports and are connected in such a way that they are rotatable together with the base. The base is placed on the frame in such a way that it is rotatable or rotatable and fixable or rotatable and fixable and connected to means for producing and/or adjusting an operating load. A distance between the center of rotation of the platform and the center of rotation of the additional platform ranges from 200 to 600 mm. The height of at least one arm support ranges from 500 to 2300 mm. | 06-25-2009 |
20100152006 | ROTATING PLATE STRUCTURE OF A WAIST TWIST MACHINE - A waist twist machine having a base frame, a rear support, and a front upright rod with a handle at the top thereof. A crossbar is positioned near the center of the base frame. A rotating rod is pivotally disposed at the top of the crossbar. A rotating plate assembly is pivotally connected to the rotating rod. The rotating plate assembly includes a front rotating arm, a rear rotating arm, and two foot plates that are pivotally connected to one another. The bottom of the front and the rear end of the foot plates is pivotally attached to the front and rear rotating arms. The front and rear rotating arms each include a pivoting portion at the center thereof. The pivoting portions are pivotally coupled to both ends of the rotating rod. As a result, the front and rear rotating arms create a rotational deformation due to the action of the pivoting points when the foot plates are subject to force and are rotated. In this way, both of the foot plates create more rotational angles. | 06-17-2010 |
20100167887 | Portable exercise, balance and flexibility device and method - A portable, free standing, exercise device for exercise, core strength, balance, and coordination training as well as general cardio vascular fitness and physical therapy. The exercise device includes a substantially rigid platform for supporting a user. Two spaced apart exercise arms extend upwards and away from the platform to respective rotatable grip assemblies. The exercise arms are attached to the platform through spring members that allow generally unrestrictive multi-axis movement relative to the platform and also maintain the exercise arms in a generally vertical position when not in use. The platform is designed to be used on any generally flat surface or alternatively can be placed on an unstable base to allow for a great challenge to the muscles and systems of balance. | 07-01-2010 |
20110287914 | TRI-CIRCULAR EXERCISE DEVICE WITH VARIABLE ROTATION RESISTANCE - One example embodiment includes a system for allowing a user to exercise. The system includes a first plate, where the first plate is configured to rotate about a center point. The system also includes a second plate. The second plate is attached to the first plate and is configured to rotate about the attachment point to the first plate. | 11-24-2011 |
