Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates to exercise equipment, and
more particularly, to shoulder exercise equipment that is
configured to enable a user to strengthen muscular strength of
user's arms and shoulders and to stretch the user's arms and
shoulders.
BACKGROUND ART
[0002] As the name implies, a disease that is called a frozen
shoulder had been known as one of degenerative diseases of aging in
the past. A majority of moderns sit at a desk to work and thus have
regular life patterns that lead to use the body's muscles mainly in
one direction only toward the front. Accordingly, the frozen
shoulder has become one of diseases that frequently appear in the
moderns long since.
[0003] In addition, a disease that is called a turtleneck syndrome
has been also widely known among modern diseases that occur when
users work for a long time in a prone position where the shoulder
and neck forward toward the front without any movement.
[0004] These diseases such as the frozen shoulder and the
turtleneck syndrome are symptoms that occur due to ill-balanced
development, stiffness, or degeneration of the body's muscles that
are not used in various directions but is used for long only at a
biased state in one direction by the simple life pattern, both of
which do not only cause considerable pain but also become a cause
of the secondary disease such as abnormal weakness of the muscles
that are not used or a herniated cervical disc.
[0005] In order to alleviate these symptoms, it is desirable to
prevent stiffness and degradation of muscles by increasing the use
of muscles in the direction where the muscles are not used.
Postures of stretching patient's arms upwards with his or her hands
clasped so as to link the fingers of both hands behind his or her
back, or stretching his or her back can be simply helpful to
alleviate the symptoms. However, actions and postures that can be
achieved by only a so-called bare-hands stretching exercise are
limited. Therefore, it is not easy for general persons to relax any
stiff muscles or to perform well-balanced muscle strengthening
exercises with only a bare-hands stretching exercise. Meanwhile,
exercise equipment for strengthening the muscles such as dumbbells
and grasping power reinforcing implements, or for stretching for
use in the health clubs is known in various forms, but most of the
exercise equipment is focused on strengthening of the muscles in a
particular region of the body. In addition, most of the exercise
equipment requires expensive equipment and a large space. As a
result, no compact type exercise equipment has been provided for
relaxing the muscles of the stiff back, the rear neck or the
shoulder and for strengthening the muscles that are not used.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
[0029] Hereinbelow, shoulder exercise equipment according to
preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in
more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0030] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of shoulder exercise equipment
according to a first embodiment of the present invention, among the
first and second embodiments of the present invention.
[0031] The shoulder exercise equipment according to the first
embodiment of the present invention is identical to that of the
second embodiment of the present invention, in a functional aspect
that gripped portions of twist grips 20 slidably move in the form
of a wave along a rod 10, in the case that a user performs a twist
operation at a state where he or she has gripped the twist grips 20
with both hands, but the former differs from the latter more or
less in a configurational aspect for realizing corresponding
functions.
[0032] As shown in FIG. 1, the shoulder exercise equipment
according to the first embodiment of the present invention
includes: a cylinder-shaped rod 10 having a circular cross-section;
and two twist grips 20 that are symmetrically mounted in both ends
of the rod 10 in which the twist grips 20 includes a slide portion
210 that slidably moves in the form of a wave along the lengthy
direction of the rod 10, respectively.
[0033] In order to allow the gripped portions of the twist grips 20
slidably move in the form of a wave along the rod 10, the twist
grips 20 according to the first embodiment of the present invention
are implemented as shown in FIG. 2, respectively.
[0034] As shown in FIG. 2, each twist grip 20 includes: a fixed
portion 220 that is inserted into the outer circumference of the
rod 10 and whose inner circumference is fixedly mounted on the
outer circumference of the rod 10. The fixed portion 220 includes a
cylinder-shaped outer circumferential surface 221 that is formed of
a cylindrical outer circumference and a sectional stopper 222 that
is protruded in a terraced form at the cylinder-shaped outer
circumferential surface 221.
[0035] Slide supporting projections 21 that are protruded outwards
are further formed on the cylinder-shaped outer circumferential
surface 221 of the fixed portion 220 so as to be fixedly combined
with the rod 10. This slide supporting projections 21 play a role
of performing functions of supporting and guiding slide movement of
a slide portion 210.
[0036] The slide portion 210 is formed in a pipe form having an
inner surface corresponding to the cylinder-shaped outer
circumferential surface 221 of the fixed portion 220, so as to
slidably move in the form of a wave on the cylinder-shaped outer
circumferential surface 221 of the fixed portion 220. In addition,
waveform grooves 211 are formed in the intaglio process on the
inner circumference of the slide portion 210 in which the slide
supporting projections 21 can be inserted into the waveform grooves
211.
[0037] An example of coupling the waveform grooves 211 with the
slide supporting projections 21 can be found through FIG. 3 that
shows a lengthy rectangular cross-section of the state including
the supporting projections 21. In other words, as shown in FIG. 3,
since slide portion 210 is mounted on the fixed portion 220 at a
state that the waveform grooves 211 accommodate the supporting
projections 21, the slide portion 210 becomes a state capable of
slidably moving on the fixed portion 220 according to a guide of
the slide supporting projections 21 that have been engaged with the
waveform grooves 211.
[0038] The movement of the wave form of the slide portion 210 is
achieved by the waveform grooves 211 that are formed on the inner
surface of the slide portion 210. These waveform grooves 211 can be
found clearly through FIG. 4 showing the perspective cross-section
of the slide portion 210.
[0039] Meanwhile, the sectional stopper 222 is needed in order to
limit a movable section of the slide portion 210. The sectional
stopper 222 plays a role of preventing the slide portion 210 that
is slid in one direction from being escape from the slide
supporting projections 21. In the first embodiment of the present
invention, the sectional stopper 222 is provided in one direction
of the sliding section of the slide portion 210 and a fixed handle
30 is mounted in the other direction of the sliding section of the
slide portion 210. Accordingly, it is possible to make the fixed
handle 30 configured to play a role of the sectional stopper
222.
[0040] The fixed handle 30 also plays a role of adding a variety of
functions to the shoulder exercise equipment according to the
purposes of the present invention. The detailed structure and
function of the fixed handle 30 will be described later in more
detail.
[0041] FIG. 5 is a perspective view of shoulder exercise equipment
according to a second embodiment of the present invention. As shown
in FIG. 5, the shoulder exercise equipment according to the second
embodiment of the present invention includes: a cylinder-shaped rod
10 having a circular cross-section; and two twist grips 20 that are
symmetrically mounted in both ends of the rod 10; and fixed handles
30 that are fixedly mounted on both ends of the rod 10.
[0042] In other words, in the second embodiment of the present
invention, the twist grips 20 play a role of performing functions
of the slide portions 210 of the first embodiment of the present
invention. The sliding movement of the twist grips 20 is achieved
by the structure of the rod 10 and interactions with the rod 10 to
be described later.
[0043] In order to stop the transfer of the twist grips 20 that
slidably move along the rod 10, it is desirable that a fixing
holder 25 is further mounted adjacent to one end of each twist grip
20.
[0044] FIG. 6 is a partially exploded perspective view showing a
configuration of the twist grip 20 that slidably moves along the
rod 10 in more detail.
[0045] As shown in FIG. 6, a waveform slot 15 that is made of a
throughhole shape of a curved slot is formed at the lateral surface
of the end of the rod 10 where the twist grip 20 is mounted. The
waveform slot 15 is symmetrically formed at the lateral surfaces of
both ends of the rod 10 around the center of a circular
cross-section of the rod 10, respectively. Meanwhile, in the case
of the twist grip 20 that is mounted on the outer surface of the
rod 10, the inner surface of the twist grip 20 is formed in
correspondence to the outer surface of the rod 10, to thereby make
the twist grip 20 mounted on the rod 10 in the form of surrounding
the rod 10. In this case, the slide supporting projections 21 that
are inserted into the waveform slots 15 are protrudingly installed
in both opposing sides of the inner surface of the twist grip 20.
As a result, in the case that the twist grip 20 is mounted in a
structure that the slide supporting projections 21 are inserted
into the waveform slots 15, the twist grip 20 can slidably move on
the surface of the rod 10 according to a guide of the waveform
slots 15.
[0046] In other words, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the twist grip 20
is mounted on the rod 10 in a state where the slide supporting
projections 21 that are protrudingly installed in the inner side of
the twist grip 20 are inserted into the waveform slots 15. Thus, in
the case that a user performs a twist operation of twisting the
twist grip 20 at a state shown in FIG. 7, the twist grip 20 moves
to the lengthy direction of the rod 10 according to the guide of
the waveform slots 15, and simultaneously rotates around the rod
10.
[0047] Since two twist grips 20 having the above-described
configuration are mounted in the direction of both ends of the rod
10, a user who uses the shoulder exercise equipments according to
the first or second embodiment of the present invention can
exercise in a manner of gripping the twist grips 20 with both hands
of the user.
[0048] For example, when a user turns the twist grips 20 in
operation of twisting the wrist at a state where he or she has held
the twist grips 20 by stretching his or her arms out to the
direction of the back, both the rectilinear movement to the lengthy
direction of the rod 10 and the rotational movement to the
direction where the twist grips 20 rotate around the rod 10 occur
mutually symmetrically in the twist grips 20, to thereby make
muscles of both wrists, arms and shoulders that have been used to
grip the twist grips 20 effectively exercised. As a result, the
posture of stretching his or her arms out to the direction of the
back can be easily maintained, to thereby provide a basic
stretching effect for muscles of the shoulders and back, and to
further obtain a muscle reinforcing effect of reinforcing various
kinds of muscles by the rotating and sliding operations of the
twist grips 20.
[0049] Meanwhile, it can be seen that the fixed handles 30 that are
different from the twist grips 20 can be mounted in both ends of
the rod 10, as shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 5 and 6. The fixed handles 30
are fixedly mounted in both ends of the rod 10, respectively, to
thus maintain a fixed state differently from the twist grips 20
that slidably move within a certain section on the rod 10 to thus
give a unique exercise effect, and to thereby allow a user to
pursue enhancement of the muscular strength through an action
similar to that of rowing a boat. The fixed handles 30 further
include extra finger holes 35, respectively, to thus enable the
user to grip the fixed handles 30 firmly with his or her hands or
to turn his or her shoulders freely at a state where his or her
fingers are lightly inserted into only the finger holes 35, and to
thereby help relief of the stiffened shoulder muscles and
enhancement of the muscular strength.
[0050] Meanwhile, when making an exercise by using the fixed
handles 30, it is desirable that the shoulder exercise equipment
further includes fixing holders 25 that are fixing units for fixing
the twist grips 20 at a state where the slide supporting
projections 21 of the twist grips 20 are positioned at the end of
the waveform slots 15, respectively, as shown in FIG. 8, in order
to stably secure the twist grips 20 that are not used. As shown in
detail in FIGS. 7 and 8, the fixing holders 25 can be configured to
secure the twist grips 20 by a screw coupling manner along the
screw threads formed on the surface of the rod 10.
[0051] FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view showing a combiner for
coupling the rod 10 of the shoulder exercise equipment according to
a second embodiment of the present invention.
[0052] As shown in FIG. 1 that is the representative drawing of the
first embodiment of the present invention and FIG. 5 that is the
representative drawing of the second embodiment of the present
invention, the rod 10 can be implemented into a coupling of two rod
parts that are basically separable in which one rod part is
inserted into the inner diameter of the other rod part, in order to
control the entire length of the rod 10. These two rod parts are
interconnected at a connection portion 40.
[0053] In other words, it is desirable to adjust the length of the
rod 10 depending on user's physical conditions. For this purpose,
the rod 10 is divided into first rod part 11 and second rod part 12
in which the end of the first rod part 11 is inserted into the
inner diameter of the second rod part 12. In this case, a screw
type combiner can be applied for the inner side of the connection
portion of the first rod part 11 and the second rod part 12, in
order to adjust the length stably and easily. In other words, as
shown in FIG. 9, a male screw structure 50 is mounted in the inner
side of the first rod part 11, and female threads that are engaged
with the male screw structure 50 are provided in the inner side of
the second rod part 12, to thereby firmly coupling the first and
second rod parts 11 and 12 and simultaneously provide a function of
adjusting the length of the rod 10 according to a degree of
tightening the male screw structure 50 into the female threads.
[0054] Moreover, as shown in FIG. 9, a spring 60 is mounted at the
lower portion of the male structure 50. Accordingly, the rod 10 can
be extended and contracted within a certain section by user's force
even at a state where the male screw structure 50 has been
tightened into the female threads. As a result, the present
invention provides advantages capable of obtaining a further
exercise effect and an additional buffering effect.
[0055] FIG. 10 is a perspective view of shoulder exercise equipment
according to a third embodiment of the present invention.
[0056] The structure of the shoulder exercise equipment according
to the third embodiment of the present invention is almost the same
as that of the second embodiment of the present invention, but the
former differs from the latter in a viewpoint that the shoulder
exercise equipment according to the third embodiment of the present
invention further includes a rear neck massage unit 70 at the
center portion of the rod 10. In addition, the feature of the can
be easily applied to the shoulder exercise equipment according to
the first embodiment of the present invention.
[0057] In the case that a user grips the shoulder exercise
equipment according to the third embodiment of the present
invention at the back of the neck, the rod 10 can be positioned at
the rear neck portion. In this case, the rear neck massage unit 70
shown in FIG. 10 can be placed on the neck portion, and can be used
as an exercise combined massage purpose or a dedicated massage
purpose. Accordingly, the shoulder exercise equipment according to
the third embodiment of the present invention can be usefully
utilized as an apparatus of relaxing the stiff muscles of the rear
neck portion and smoothing blood circulation. As shown in FIG. 10,
the rear neck massage unit 70 can be formed to include a number of
massage protrusions. Of curse, a conventional vibration function
can be added to the shoulder exercise equipment according to the
present invention.
[0058] As described above, the present invention has been described
with respect to particularly preferred embodiments. However, the
present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and it
is possible for one who has an ordinary skill in the art to make
various modifications and variations, without departing off the
spirit of the present invention. Thus, the protective scope of the
present invention is not defined within the detailed description
thereof but is defined by the claims to be described later and the
technical spirit of the present invention.
[0059] Effects of the Invention
[0060] By the above-described configuration, the shoulder exercise
equipment of the present invention has the following effects.
[0061] Firstly, muscles of the back, shoulders, and neck portion
that are not well used can be easily used through the shoulder
exercise equipment according to the present invention, to thereby
relax rigidity of the muscles and strengthen the weakened muscles
and to thus mitigate or prevent diseases such as a frozen shoulder
or turtleneck syndromes from which moderner frequently suffer
according to simplified life patterns as well as provide an
exercise effect.
[0062] Secondly, a stretching action and a muscle strengthening
action that are not easy to make an exercise with only free
gymnastics, can be done through various applications such as a
rowing action.
[0063] Thirdly, a massage function is added for the shoulder
exercise equipment according to the present invention, to thereby
enable users to take various and comprehensive measures for
stretching, muscle strengthening, massaging, and preventing disease
such as frozen shoulder.
