Tilting inversion exerciser having infrared ray generating device

Tilting inversion exerciser having infrared ray generating device description/claims

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a tilting inversion exerciser, and more particularly to a tilting inversion exerciser including an infrared ray generating device for generating infrared ray to the users, particularly to warm up the joints or the whole body of the users or for vitalizing the cells of the users and for further facilitating or promoting the blood circulation of the users.

2. Description of the Prior Art

Typical tilting inversion exercisers comprise a pivoting frame or cushion or support plate pivotally coupled to or supported on a foldable stand, and arranged for allowing the support plate to be pivoted or rotated or tilted relative to the stand, and for allowing the users to conduct the tilting or inversion exercises.

For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,718,660 to Chen discloses one of the typical tilting inversion exercisers for straightening the spinal column of the user and also comprising a cushion for supporting the users, and a stand for pivotally supporting the cushion.

However, the typical tilting inversion exercisers may only be used for conducting or operating the tilting or inversion exercises only, but may not be used to vibrate the joints or the whole body of the users and also may not be used to facilitate or promote the blood circulation of the users.

The present inventor and applicant had developed another typical tilting inversion exerciser including a massage device for massaging the users. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 7,052,448 to Teeter discloses a typical tilting inversion exerciser including one or more cranks rotatably attached to a carrier, and one or more wheels attached to the cranks for engaging with and for massaging the users.

However, the wheels are required to be contacted or engaged with the users such that the wheels may only be used to engaged with and to massage the muscles at the back portion of the users, but may be used to massage the other portions of the users, such as the joints of the users.

In addition, the wheels and the cranks of the typical tilting inversion exerciser is disposed or engaged in the support plate and may not be disengaged from the support plate and also may not be selectively attached onto the support plate of the other typical tilting inversion exerciser. Furthermore, the typical tilting inversion exerciser also may not be used to facilitate or promote the blood circulation of the users.

The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages of the conventional tilting inversion exercisers.

The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a tilting inversion exerciser including an infrared ray generating device for generating infrared ray to the users, particularly to warm up the joints or the whole body of the users or for vitalizing the cells of the users and for further facilitating or promoting the blood circulation of the users.

The other objective of the present invention is to provide a tilting inversion exerciser including a vibrating device for vibrating the joints or the whole body of the users and for facilitating or promoting the blood circulation of the users.

In accordance with one aspect of the invention, there is provided a tilting inversion exerciser comprising a lower supporting stand, a table pivotally supported on the lower supporting stand for supporting a user, and an infrared assembly including a pad member, an attaching device for attaching the pad member to the table, and an infrared ray generating device for generating an infrared ray to shine or to warm up the user.

The attaching device includes at least one strap attached to the pad member for engaging with the table and for securing the pad member to the table.

The infrared ray generating device includes at least one casing attached to the pad member, and at least one light member received in the casing for generating the infrared ray.

The casing includes a lower casing member and an upper cover coupled together. The casing includes a circuit board disposed in the casing for supporting the light member.

A vibration generating device may further be provided for generating a vibration to vibrate the user. The vibration generating device includes at least one housing attached to the pad member, a motor received in the housing, and an eccentric member attached to the motor for generating the vibration.

The housing includes two housing members coupled together. The motor is coupled to a processing device, and the processing device is coupled to a control device for allowing the motor and the processing device to be operated by the control device.

Further objectives and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from a careful reading of the detailed description provided hereinbelow, with appropriate reference to the accompanying drawings.
