The first end of the longitudinal bar 21 of the main frame 20 is formed with a plurality of adjusting holes 26. The second end of the longitudinal bar 21 of the main frame 20 is provided with two connecting rods 22 located adjacent to the second transverse bar 23. The longitudinal bar 21 of the main frame 20 has a mediate portion provided with a substantially U-shaped pivot base 28.
The exercising device further comprises a backrest 25 mounted on the first transverse bar 27 and the second transverse bar 23 of the main frame 20.
The retractable bar 30 is retractably mounted on the first end of the longitudinal bar 21 of the main frame 20 and has a first end formed with a positioning hole 32 aligning with one of the adjusting holes 26 of the longitudinal bar 21 of the main frame 20 and a second end provided with a transverse fixing bar 38 for mounting a head cushion 31.
The exercising device further comprises a substantially V-shaped elastic plate 34 mounted in the retractable bar 30 and having a distal end provided with a positioning stub 36 extended through the positioning hole 32 of the retractable bar 30 and detachably locked in one of the adjusting holes 26 of the longitudinal bar 21 of the main frame 20.
The exercising device further comprises a substantially U-shaped operation handle 24 mounted on the second end of the longitudinal bar 21 of the main frame 20.
The pivot bar 40 is pivotally mounted on the main frame 20 and has a first end pivotally mounted on the mediate portion of the longitudinal bar 21 of the main frame 20 by the pivot base 28 and a second end provided with a roller 41. The pivot bar 40 has a mediate portion provided with two connecting rods 42 located opposite to the two connecting rods 22 of the longitudinal bar 21 of the main frame 20.
The stop block 50 is mounted on the first end of the pivot bar 40 and is rested on the longitudinal bar 21 of the main frame 20 when the longitudinal bar 21 of the main frame 20 approaches the pivot bar 40. Preferably, the stop block 50 is made of an elastic material. In addition, the stop block 50 is vertical to a surface of the pivot bar 40.
Each of the two rocking bars 60 is substantially arc-shaped, and has a first end secured on an end of the first transverse bar 27 of the main frame 20 and a second end secured on an end of the second transverse bar 23 of the main frame 20.
Each of the two elastic members 70 has a flat plate shape, and is biased between the longitudinal bar 21 of the main frame 20 and the pivot bar 40. Preferably, each of the two elastic members 70 has a first end secured on a respective one of the two connecting rods 22 of the longitudinal bar 21 of the main frame 20 and a second end secured on a respective one of the two connecting rods 42 of the pivot bar 40 to move therewith. Thus, when the pivot bar 40 is pivoted relative to the main frame 20, each of the two elastic members 70 can provide a restoring force to return the pivot bar 40 and the main frame 20 to the original position.
As shown in
In operation, referring to
Then, referring to
Accordingly, the user can operate the exercising device to achieve the purpose of exercising the user's waist.
