Description

  The present invention relates to an exercise apparatus, and more particularly, to an apparatus for shoulder exercise configured to perform strength strengthening and stretching exercise of a user's arm and shoulder.

  The disease, also known as the fifty shoulders, was known as a degenerative disease due to aging in the past, as can be seen from the name fifty shoulders, but a certain life such as desk work that mainly uses the muscles of the body toward one of the front. For modern people who often have a pattern, it has become one of the diseases that appears regardless of age.

  In addition to this, there is also a well-known disease called a tortoise syndrome, which is a modern disease that occurs when working for a long time without a special movement with the shoulder and neck hanging forward. These are all caused by muscles developing imbalanced, stiff, and degenerate when used for a long time with a simple life pattern and biased in one direction, rather than being used in many directions where the body muscles can move. It is a symptom and not only induces considerable pain, but also causes non-normal weakening of unused muscles and secondary diseases such as cervical disc herniation.

  In order to relieve such symptoms, it is desirable to prevent muscle stiffness and degeneration by increasing the use of muscles in directions that are not used. Stretching like a posture that stretches the back backwards is useful.

  However, there are limits to the movements and postures that can be achieved only by so-called stretching. Therefore, it is not easy for ordinary people to loosen all stiff muscles or perform muscle strengthening exercises in a balanced manner simply by stretching. On the other hand, there are various known exercise equipment for muscle strengthening such as dumbbells and grippers, and exercise equipment for sports gyms for stretching. In many cases, it requires equipment and a large space, and in fact, no compact exercise equipment is provided to strengthen muscles that are not used by loosening the muscles of the back, back neck and shoulders.

  The present invention has been devised to overcome the above-mentioned conventional problems, and effectively relieves muscles on the shoulder, back, and back neck side of modern people, thereby strengthening the muscles. A shoulder exercise device is provided to alleviate and prevent such diseases.

It is a perspective view of the instrument for shoulder exercises concerning a 3rd embodiment of the present invention.

  Hereinafter, the configuration of the above-described shoulder exercise device according to each embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings in which preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown. FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating a shoulder exercise device according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

  When the shoulder exercise apparatus according to the second embodiment described later or the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1 performs a twisting operation while holding the twist handle 20 in both hands, the gripped portion is attached to the rod 10. Although the same in terms of the function of sliding and moving in a wavy manner, there is a slight difference in the configuration of means for realizing the corresponding function.

  The twist handle 20 according to the first embodiment is configured as shown in FIG. 2 so that the portion gripped along the rod 10 can be slid in a wave shape. The twist handle 20 includes a fixing portion 220 having an inner side surface in which the rod 10 is inserted and its outer peripheral surface is fixedly mounted. The fixing portion 220 includes a columnar outer peripheral surface 221 formed in a cylindrical outer peripheral shape, and includes a section-limited locking portion 222 that protrudes from the columnar outer peripheral surface 221 with a step.

  Further, on the cylindrical outer peripheral surface 221 of the fixed portion 220, a slide support protrusion 21 protruding on the outer surface is formed. The slide support protrusion 21 allows the slide portion 210 to be mounted to slide. Support and guide the function.

  The slide part 210 is formed in a pipe shape having an inner surface corresponding to the columnar outer peripheral surface 221 of the fixed part 220 so as to be slid in a wave shape on the outer peripheral surface of the fixed part 220. The corrugated groove 211 having the shape into which the above-described slide support protrusion 21 is inserted is formed in an intaglio manner.

  An example of such a coupling structure of the corrugated groove 211 and the slide support protrusion 21 can be confirmed from FIG. 3 showing a cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction including the slide support protrusion 21. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the slide part 210 is mounted on the fixing part 220 in a state in which the corrugated groove 211 accommodates the slide support protrusion 21. Thus, the slide support protrusion 21 engaged with the corrugated groove 211 can slide along the guide.

  Such a wave-like movement of the slide part 210 is realized by a wave-shaped groove 211 formed on the inner surface of the slide part 210. The shape of the wave-shaped groove 211 is a perspective cross section of the slide part 210. It can be clearly confirmed from FIG. 4 shown.

  On the other hand, in order to limit the moving section of the slide part 210, the above-described section limiting locking part 222 is necessary. The section limitation locking part 222 plays a role of preventing the slide part 210 from being slid in one direction and detached from the slide support protrusion 21, but as in the first embodiment, the section limitation locking part 222 is limited to the section limitation in one direction of the slide section. While the locking portion 222 is provided, by mounting the fixed handle 30 in the other direction, the fixed handle 30 can be configured to serve as the section-limited locking portion 222.
