Device for an Automatic Body Fat Reducing and Muscle Building

Abstract

An apparatus for body fat reduction and muscle building includes a bridge having a rectangular shape. A chassis is joined to the bridge and extends away from a back side. A piston having a surface for applying a load resistance to an abdomen is positioned proximate the bridge with a stem extending through a central hole. A swash plate is joined to a distal end of the stem. A return spring is in communication with the swash plate. A drive shaft is mounted to the chassis. A cam is joined to the drive shaft where the cam contacts the swash plate. A motor rotates the drive shaft and cam to move the piston in a first direction towards the abdomen and the return spring moves the piston in a second direction away from the abdomen. A belt secures the bridge to a user with the piston adjacent to the abdomen.

1 . An apparatus for body fat reduction and muscle building, the apparatus comprising:
 a bridge comprising a generally rectangular shape comprising a front side, a back side and at least one central hole extending from said front side to said back side;   a chassis joined to said back side and extending away from said back side;   a piston comprising a surface for applying a load resistance to an abdomen of a user and a stem centrally located and extending back from said surface, said piston being positioned proximate said front side with said stem extending through said central hole;   a swash plate joined to a distal end of said stem;   a return spring in communication with said swash plate;   a drive shaft mounted to said chassis in proximity to said swash plate;   a generally circular cam joined to said drive shaft where said cam contacts said swash plate;   a motor mounted to said chassis for rotating said drive shaft where a rotation of said drive shaft rotates said cam in contact with said swash plate to move said piston in a first direction towards said abdomen and said return spring moves said piston in a second direction away from said abdomen; and   a belt for securing said bridge to the user with said piston adjacent to said abdomen.

         8 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 1 , further comprising a dust boot joined to said piston and said bridge for enclosing said front side and said surface. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 8 , further comprising an outer cover joined to said chassis for enclosing said chassis. 
     
     
         10 . An apparatus for body fat reduction and muscle building, the apparatus comprising:
 means for supporting components of the apparatus;   means for applying a load resistance to an abdomen of a user said means being positioned proximate a front side of said supporting means;   first means for moving said applying means in a first direction towards said abdomen;   second means for moving said applying means in a second direction away from said abdomen; and   means for securing said supporting means to the user.   
     
     
         11 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 10 , further comprising means for maintaining alignment of said applying means. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 10 , further comprising means for assisting in moving said applying means in said second direction. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 10 , further comprising means for controlling said first means. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 13 , further comprising means for remotely controlling said means for controlling said first means. 
     
     
         15 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 10 , further comprising means for operating the apparatus from a DC source. 
     
     
         16 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 10 , further comprising means for enclosing said front side and said applying means. 
     
     
         17 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 16 , further comprising means for enclosing a back side of said supporting means. 
     
     
         18 . An apparatus for body fat reduction and muscle building, the apparatus comprising:
 a bridge comprising a generally rectangular shape comprising a front side, a back side, a central hole extending from said front side to said back side and a plurality of guide holes extending from said front side to said back side;   a chassis joined to said back side and extending away from said back side;   a piston comprising a surface for applying a load resistance to an abdomen of a user and a stem centrally located and extending back from said surface, said piston being positioned proximate said front side with said stem extending through said central hole;   a plurality of guide pins joined to said piston for maintaining alignment of said piston with said bridge;   a plurality of guide springs coupled to said plurality of guide pins;   a swash plate joined to a distal end of said stem;   a return spring in communication with said swash plate;   a drive shaft rotatably mounted to said chassis in proximity to said swash plate with an axis of rotation of said drive shaft being substantially parallel to a top surface of said swash plate;   a generally circular cam joined to said drive shaft at an off center position where said cam contacts said swash plate;   a motor mounted to said chassis for rotating said drive shaft where a rotation of said drive shaft rotates said cam in contact with said swash plate to move said piston in a first direction towards said abdomen and said return spring and said guide springs move said piston in a second direction away from said abdomen;   control circuitry for controlling said motor;   a dust boot joined to said piston and said bridge for enclosing said front side and said surface;   an outer cover joined to said chassis for enclosing said chassis; and   a belt for securing said bridge to the user with said piston adjacent to said abdomen.
