Publication number: 20140284446Abstract: Disclosed is a platform for a whole body vibrational apparatus. The platform is powered by a centrally located iso-linear drive system incorporating elastomeric bushings that support the cover of the platform and impart the oscillatory motion from the motor to said cover. The use of the bushings reduces noise and cushions the jarring usually associated with oscillatory motion. The cover is curved in a manner to accommodate the iso-linear drive system and present a lower mounting height to aid in mounting and dismounting the platform. A modular column may also be added to control the vibrator platform but is also isolated from the platform at its connection. Additional control modules, such as a ski module, may be added to further enhance the utility of the platform.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 24, 2014Publication date: September 25, 2014Inventor: Robin Peng
