Benefits of technology

This patent describes an exercise device that includes a frame with handles, a vibratory core, and a control panel to operate it. The device can be used for exercise, fitness, and recovery purposes. It can have a variety of handles that are accessible through openings in the frame and can have a vibratory core connected to the handles. The device can be controlled by the control panel for it to operate. Overall, this patent provides a technical solution for an exercise device that can be easily operated and utilized for various purposes.

Problems solved by technology

Many people do not have the time or knowledge necessary to perform exercises that benefit stabilizer muscles or multi-muscle movements without the risk of heavy weights or dangerous body positions or apparatus.
Traditional strength training can be time consuming and unduly load the body with heavy static weights, which can increase the potential for injury.
Cardio training tends to focus on toning and building endurance more than building muscle, and can have the deleterious aspect of overly impacting and stressing muscles, joints, tendons, and ligaments.
However, most products that deliver harmonic vibration to the body require that the use stand on a vibrating plate that delivers the vibratory forces up through the user's feet, and thus do not deliver localized vibratory forces, e.g., such as to the upper body, arms, etc.
These devices tend to be expensive, large in size, and limited in terms of how users can engage with the device.

Embodiment Construction

[0025]FIG. 1 is a first perspective view of an embodiment of the exercise, fitness, and recuperative medicine device of the invention placed on an optional charging stand.

[0026]Turning first to FIGS. 1 to 4, these views show various views of an exemplary embodiment of an embodiment of the exercise, fitness, and recuperative medicine device 100 on an optional charging stand 102. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the device 100 on the charging stand 102, FIG. 2 is front view of the device 100 and optional charging stand 102, FIG. 3 is a cutaway view showing an interior of the vibratory core 104, and FIG. 4 is a top front view showing a control panel 106 on the vibratory core 104 of the device. An exemplary external power supply 103 for the optional charging stand 102 is shown, but it could be integrated within the body of charging stand if desired. The exercise, fitness, and recuperative medicine device 100 has a frame portion 108 with a plurality of handle grips 110A-L with bridge conn...

Abstract

An exercise, fitness, and recuperative medicine device. The device includes a frame portion with at least three pairs of handles disposed around the frame portion, which handles are accessible via openings in the frame portion. The handles are joined to each other by bridge connectors, and each handle in a pair of handles are disposed on opposite sides of the frame portion. A vibratory core is positioned in the interior of the frame portion and is connected with standoffs to the bridge connectors. A control panel to control operation of the vibratory core.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority from U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 658,719, filed Jun. 12, 2012.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates generally to exercise devices, and more particularly to an exercise, fitness, and recuperative medicine device with a vibrational core that when used provides a tuned vibration workout for the toning and conditioning of selected muscle groups, ligaments, tendons and joints, stimulating growth and healing without high risk / strain exercise. Low frequency vibration has well-known positive effects on the human body.[0003]Many people do not have the time or knowledge necessary to perform exercises that benefit stabilizer muscles or multi-muscle movements without the risk of heavy weights or dangerous body positions or apparatus. The invention solves this problem by providing a vibration-based workout that targets specific muscle pairs and their surrounding support muscles w...
