Abstract

A functionality improving training machine comprising a main body, a rotating driving mechanism incorporated in the main body, a driving controller for controlling the rotating driving mechanism, a pedal mechanism for legs coupled to the rotating driving mechanism and a moving means for making the main body movable. Physically weak people regardless of age or sex, convalescent people or athletes might use for rehabilitation purposes in which functionalities of the lower half of one's body might be improved in accordance with one's physical conditions through exercise ranging from soft exercise in which one's heart is hardly overload to hard exercise which causes one to sweat.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A functionality improving training machine comprising a main body, a rotating driving mechanism incorporated in the main body, a driving controller for controlling the rotating driving mechanism, a pedal mechanism for legs coupled to the rotating driving mechanism and a moving means for making the main body movable.  
     
     
         2 . A functionality improving training machine comprising a main body, a seat mounted on a top portion of the main body, a rotating driving mechanism incorporated in the main body, a driving controller for controlling the rotating driving mechanism, a pedal mechanism coupled to the rotating driving mechanism, a sliding mechanism for making the seat movable in forward and rearward directions with respect to the main body, a reclining mechanisms for freely making a rear angle of a back portion of the seat variable, an ascending/descending mechanisms for freely ascending/descending the seat, and a moving means for making the main body movable.  
     
     
         3 . A functionality improving training machine comprising a main body, a rotating driving mechanism incorporated in the main body, a driving controller for controlling the rotating driving mechanism, a pedal mechanism for legs coupled to the rotating driving mechanism, a moving means for making the main body movable, a pedal mechanism for arms provided on a top portion of the pedal mechanism for the legs, and a rotation transmitting portion for the arms which connects the rotating driving mechanism with the pedal mechanism for the arms.  
     
     
         4 . A functionality improving training machine comprising a main body, a seat mounted on a top portion of the main body, a rotating driving mechanism incorporated in the main body, a driving controller for controlling the rotating driving mechanism, a pedal mechanism for legs coupled to the rotating driving mechanism, a sliding mechanism for making the seat movable in forward and rearward directions with respect to the main body, a reclining mechanisms for freely making a rear angle of a back portion of the seat variable, an ascending/descending mechanisms for freely ascending/descending the seat, a moving means for making the main body movable, a pedal mechanism for the arms provided on a top portion of the pedal mechanism for the legs, and a rotation transmitting portion for the arms which connects the rotating driving mechanism with the pedal mechanism for the arms.  
     
     
         5 . The functionality improving training machine of any one of  claims 3  to  4 , wherein the rotation transmitting portion for the arms includes a switching clutch mechanism for switching the pedal mechanism for the legs and the pedal mechanism for the arms, and a reverse rotation mechanism for reversing rotation of the pedal mechanism for the legs and the pedal mechanism for the arms.  
     
     
         6 . The functionality improving training machine of any one of  claims 1  to  5 , wherein the rotating driving mechanism comprises a rotation transmitting portion, a driving motor and a clutch mechanism.  
     
     
         7 . The functionality improving training machine of  claim 6 , wherein the driving controller comprises a switching circuit for enabling switching of the clutch mechanism of the rotation driving mechanism, a rotating driving circuit for performing forward rotation and reverse rotation of the driving motor, and a transmission circuit for making the rotating speed of the driving motor variable.  
     
     
         8 . The functionality improving training machine of  claim 7 , wherein the driving controller includes a mechanism synchronizing circuit for interlocking the sliding mechanism, the ascending/descending mechanism and the reclining mechanism.  
     
     
         9 . The functionality improving training machine of any one of claims  2  and  4 , wherein the sliding mechanism comprises a moving base for supporting the seat, a guide rail for guiding the moving base, a screw screwed to the moving base, and a handle for rotating the screw.  
     
     
         10 . The functionality improving training machine of any one of claims  2  and  4 , wherein the ascending/descending mechanism comprises a moving base for supporting the seat, and a jack attached to the moving base.  
     
     
         11 . The functionality improving training machine of any one of  claims 1  to  10 , wherein attaching positions of right and left pedal levers in the pedal mechanism for the legs are variable with respect to the supporting shaft.  
     
     
         12 . The functionality improving training machine of any one of  claims 1  to  11 , wherein positions of the pedals to be provided to right and left pedal levers in the pedal mechanism for the legs are variable depending on the form of rehabilitation.  
     
     
         13 . The functionality improving training machine of any one of  claims 1  to  12 , wherein the main body includes a column member for preventing tumbling.  
     
     
         14 . The functionality improving training machine of  claim 13 , wherein the column member is a liftable outrigger.
