technical field

The subject matter of the present disclosure relates to modular exercise equipment.

Background technique

Traditional gym equipment is usually limited to one type of exercise or a selected few. Therefore, multiple separate pieces of exercise equipment are often used in order to exercise different muscle groups. This has resulted in individuals acquiring multiple pieces of exercise equipment or joining a gym so that many different exercise machines can be used. Accordingly, conventional fitness systems are costly, take up a lot of space, and/or provide a degree of inconvenience in having to travel to a gym.

Contents of the invention

One aspect of the present disclosure relates to a modular movable panel. Modular activity boards can be configured for many different activities. The flap can include multiple accessories for use with the modular flap. A modular movable panel may include a deck. The deck can include a top surface and a bottom surface. The deck may have a major axis and a minor axis, the major axis being longer than the minor axis. The deck of the modular activity module may include a pair of activity accessory receivers. The mobile accessory receiver can be positioned laterally from the through channel on either end of the deck. Each movable accessory receptacle can be configured to removably mount a movable accessory. A movable accessory coupling mechanism may be provided in the deck for receiving the movable accessory in the movable accessory receptacle and coupling the movable accessory with the deck. The movable accessory coupling mechanism may be configured to facilitate locking the movable accessory in a non-rotational position relative to the deck.

In one aspect, a modular and reconfigurable activity system is described. A modular and reconfigurable activity system may include a modular activity panel formed from a deck having a top surface, a bottom surface, a first end, a second end, and opposed side rails. Each of the first end and the second end may be angled upwardly from the top surface of the deck. The deck may be defined by a longitudinal axis passing through the first end and the second end and a transverse axis passing through the opposed side rails through a substantially center of the deck. The deck may also have a first movable accessory receptacle proximate the first end and a second movable accessory receptacle proximate the second end. Each of the first movable accessory receptacle and the second movable accessory receptacle may be defined by a single circular aperture and have a first locking mechanism therewith.

A modular and reconfigurable activity system can include a set of activity accessories. Each movable accessory of the set of movable accessories may include an accessory platform sized and configured to fit within the single circular aperture. The accessory platform may also have a second locking mechanism therewith to cooperate with the first locking mechanism to releasably secure the accessory platform in the single circular hole. Each activity accessory may further include an activity mechanism extending from the top and/or bottom of the accessory platform to enable the activity to be performed by a rider of the modular activity board when the activity accessory is secured to the deck.

The movable mechanism of the movable accessory can be one or more wheels mounted on an axle mounted to the bottom of the accessory platform; a roller stop mounted to the bottom of the accessory platform; a bouncing ball mounted to the bottom of the accessory platform; or a A scooter handle at the top, one or more wheels mounted on axles at the bottom of the accessory platform, etc.

In another aspect, a modular exercise board is described. A modular exercise board may include a deck. The deck may include through passages at the intersection of the axes. The through channel may be configured to removably mount a plurality of different central modules. The deck may include a center module coupling mechanism for receiving the center module in the channel and coupling the center module to the deck.

The center module coupling mechanism may be configured to lock the center module in a non-rotational position relative to the deck.

The movable fitting coupling mechanism in the deck may include a threaded portion for receiving a complementary threaded portion of said movable fitting. The movable accessory coupling mechanism may also include a locking mechanism for locking the movable accessory in a non-rotational position relative to the deck. In some variations, the deck may further include a first portion of the locking mechanism, and the movable accessory may further include a second portion of the locking mechanism, the second portion configured to cooperate with the first portion join.

The deck may include a plurality of first portions of the locking mechanism at either end of the deck. The plurality of first portions of the locking mechanism can be configured to engage with the second portion of the locking mechanism on each movable accessory to provide a plurality of locked positions for the movable accessory in the movable accessory receptacle.

In some variations, the movable accessory includes a movable accessory locking mechanism configured to couple the movable accessory with the movable accessory receiving portion in the deck. The mobile accessory locking mechanism may include a locking member. An actuator may be provided configured to actuate the locking member. The mobile accessory locking mechanism can include a biasing member. The biasing member may be configured to provide a bias to maintain the locking member in engagement with the deck. The bias provided by the biasing member may include a force oriented substantially parallel to the plane of the movable accessory, thereby urging the locking mechanism into the perimeter of the movable accessory receptacle when the movable accessory is disposed in the movable accessory receptacle of the deck . The deck can include a locking mechanism receptacle configured to receive the locking mechanism of the movable accessory to facilitate securing the movable accessory in the movable accessory receptacle. The actuator of the locking mechanism may be configured to overcome the bias provided by the biasing member to facilitate releasing the locking member from the deck. The actuator of the locking mechanism may be configured to facilitate a user to overcome the bias provided by the biasing member.

The center module of the modular exercise board can be selected from a number of different types of center modules to perform different types of exercises. For example, the center module may be selected from the group consisting of a rolling ball, bouncing ball, flat face plug, halo destabilizer, positive bouncing ball, or other center modules. An option for the center module may further include a floor contact base configured to fit in the through channel and contact a floor surface when the panel is in use. In some variations, the first portion of the central module may extend below the deck. The second portion of the center module may be substantially flush with the top surface of the deck.

Exercise Accessories You can choose from a number of different types of exercise accessories for performing different types of exercises. For example, exercise accessories may be selected from the group consisting of grips, flat discs with foot straps, deck plugs, loops with attached elastic straps, balance roller stops, skateboard stands, or other exercise accessories. Workout accessories can be selected to complement the selected center module. In some use cases, the selection of exercise accessories may be independent of the selection of the center module.

The exercise board may further include elastic straps attached to the deck for use by a user while standing on said deck.

In one variation, the exercise accessory receptacle may be a generally circular channel into which the exercise accessory is removably mounted. The channel may be formed on one side by a portion of a circle in the deck and on the opposite side by a removable C-shaped portion which, when attached to the deck, completes the circular transverse reception channel for the position of the device.

Another aspect of the present disclosure relates to an apparatus for receiving one or more accessory modules. The accessory module provides exercise accessories to enable exercise mode. The device can include a deck having a top surface, a bottom surface, a proximal end, a distal end, and opposing sides. The deck may further have a major axis running from the proximal end to the distal end, and a minor axis between opposing sides, the major axis being longer than the minor axis.

The device may include one or more attachment mechanisms associated with at least one of the top and/or bottom surfaces of the deck. The one or more attachment mechanisms may have coupling mechanisms, wherein each of the one or more attachment mechanisms of the deck is configured to couple with the attachment mechanisms of the one or more accessory modules . Each accessory module in the set of accessory modules can provide a workout mode for use with the deck. The coupling mechanism of each of the one or more attachment mechanisms may be configured to couple the accessory module with the attachment mechanism after the attachment mechanism is coupled with the accessory module.

In some variations, the coupling mechanism of each of the one or more attachment mechanisms is configured to lock the accessory module and the attachment mechanism in a non-rotational position after the attachment mechanism and the accessory module are connected.

In some variations, at least one of the one or more attachment mechanisms is a single through channel between the top and bottom surfaces of the deck. A single through passage may be defined by the inner perimeter and include threads along at least a portion of the inner perimeter. A locking mechanism may be associated with the through channel and may include a retractable pin to engage a corresponding notch in the accessory module. In other variations, the locking mechanism may be associated with the through passage and include a notch for receiving a retractable pin in the accessory module.

The central module may be a generally resilient protrusion below the deck and may or may not extend above the deck. The portion of the center module that extends below the deck can be firm but resilient and provide a certain amount of spring for bouncing motion when in contact with the floor beneath the unit. A variation of the center module is less bouncy, less bouncy, and provides a stable platform for exercises that don't involve bouncing. The center module may also have rebound enhancing means, such as springs, to induce greater rebound. The center module may include mounting means, such as locking rings, which may be configured in various ways to removably lock the center module in place in the deck. The mounting means can essentially be a ring with an extension arm screwed into a locked position with a quarter turn or quarter screw into a receiving groove or thread built into the deck. The center module may have a portion extending below the deck, which may be rounded on the bottom or may be flat, or a portion extending above the deck, with or without handles. The locking device may be a bayonet mount where tabs on the sides of the locking ring fit into tabs in the deck such that when the locking ring is rotated in one direction, the tabs lock into place in the deck. The center module may have a portion that protrudes above the deck surface, and this portion may be a generally tubular section with a handle built into the end. It may also be substantially flush with the top of the deck rather than extending above the top of the deck.

An example of a workout accessory is a ring with a handle in its center. The grips will be spaced an appropriate distance from each other to provide positions for the user to perform push-ups, with the grips rotated into various positions to exercise different muscle groups in the arms and shoulders. The exercise accessory in the form of a grip can also be locked securely in place, in a preferred embodiment, for example perpendicular to the long axis of the deck. Another example of an exercise accessory could be a skateboard stand with wheels mounted in place in a transverse receiving position, which turns the deck of the exercise board into a skateboard. Another example of a lateral exercise accessory is one that is round and disc-shaped and locks in place, flush with the deck, and has straps that engage the user's feet to hold them in place.

In one configuration of the disclosed technology, in one variation of the deck, the end pieces of the deck are removable. In this variation with a removable deck end, with the deck end removed, the exercise accessory is exposed and able to slide without engaging the deck. When the end of the deck fits around the lateral exercise accessory, the accessory is locked into place on the deck and ready to use. The deck may also include resistance band attachments that slide into prepared slots or attachment points on the deck. The strap anchors are thus locked in place in the deck end, and cables can be attached to the fixed anchor locations to create resistance for the user when manipulating the abutment. The deck may also include a handle area on the minor axis of the deck and adjacent to the center module. Variations of decks with these secondary grips can therefore have four or five grip positions. Two auxiliary grips, two lateral exercise accessories in the form of grips, and the top of the center module in the form of grips.

The central module may be a resilient rubber-like material that protrudes below and above the deck. There may be a hollow top above the deck portion with a handle area in the top. The center assembly can also be formed from a collar portion that locks the omnidirectional ball in place so that the ball can rotate like the ball at the end of a ballpoint pen while supporting the deck. The above-mentioned deck part of this type of center module may be hard plastic and have a handle. Another variant of the central module is one in which the part below the deck is in the shape of a pan with less or no parts protruding above the deck. Accessory options and fixtures exist for the center module, as well as lateral mounting positions. These optional devices allow the deck to enter the balance board, allowing the user to balance on a freely rotating cylinder.

The details of one or more implementations are set forth in the accompanying drawings and the description below. Other features and advantages will be apparent from the description and drawings, and from the claims.

Referring to FIG. 1 , an exemplary embodiment of a deck 100 for a modular exercise board is shown. The deck may have a major axis 102 and a minor axis 104 . A through channel 106 may be defined at an intersection 108 of the major axis 102 and the minor axis 104 . Passthrough channel 106 may be configured to removably mount a plurality of different center modules. The deck 106 may include a center module coupling mechanism 110 . The center module coupling mechanism 110 may be configured to receive a center module in the through channel 106 and couple the center module to the deck 100 .

Deck 100 may include a pair of exercise accessory receptacles 112 . Exercise accessory receptacle 112 may be positioned laterally from through channel 106 . Exercise accessory receptacle 112 may be located at either end of deck 100 . Exercise accessory receptacle 112 may be configured to removably mount an exercise accessory. An exercise accessory coupling mechanism 114 may be provided in the deck 100 . Exercise accessory coupling mechanism 114 may be configured for receiving and coupling an exercise accessory.

FIG. 2 depicts an implementation of an accessory 200 or modular exercise accessory. Accessory 200 may include handle 202 . The handle 202 may be coupled with and mounted horizontally within the mounting mechanism 204 . Mounting mechanism 204 may be configured for mounting accessory 200 in any of a plurality of holes or openings in a deck, such as deck 100 shown in FIG. 1 . The holes or openings may be located anywhere in the deck 100 . The mounting mechanism 204 may be a circular ring for fitting within a circular opening in the deck. In such an implementation, the mounting mechanism 204 may snap into the opening by one or more pins extending (retractable or non-retractable) from the mounting mechanism 204, or the mounting mechanism 204 may take any shape to match the aperture. corresponding to the shape. For example, the hole may be square, and the mounting mechanism may include a square frame sized and adapted to fit within the square hole, and one or more pins, latches, tabs, grooves, etc., to interface with the surface of the board. The corresponding structure at the hole interlocks.

The handle 202 of the accessory 200 may be tubular, or may include one or more bumps, protrusions, ridges, grooves, channels, finger grips, etc., to allow for a better grip in the user's hand. In some preferred implementations, handle 202 may be horizontal, ie, in the plane of the top surface of the deck, when modular exercise accessory 100 is coupled to the deck. In other implementations, the handle 202 may include at least a portion that is angled away from the plane of the board. The handle 202 may also be at least partially covered or encased by a compressible material such as foam, plastic, rubber, etc., or may be formed with the mounting mechanism 204 from a unitary rigid material.

The accessory 200 may also include a coupling mechanism 206 to lock the mounting mechanism 204 of the accessory 200 in a fixed mounting position with the hole and deck. As shown in FIG. 2 , the coupling mechanism 206 includes an actuator 208 that actuates a locking member 210 . In some preferred implementations, the locking member 210 is a tab or pin that fits into a corresponding receiving notch or through channel in an opening in the deck. In some other implementations, the locking member 210 may be one or more of a pin, latch, bolt, screw, thread, groove, ridge, or the like that cooperates with a corresponding formation or opening on the panel.

In some variations of the disclosed subject matter, coupling mechanism 206 may be provided in the deck and include a locking member 210 , such as a tab or pin, configured to engage with a corresponding notch provided in one or more accessories 200 . In some variations, a plurality of coupling mechanisms 206 , each having a locking member 210 and a corresponding notch, may be arranged around the accessory or modular exercise accessory 200 .

The locking member 210 can be extended and retracted by the operation of the actuator 208 . In some implementations, the actuator 208 is a spring-loaded button within the handle 202 and/or the mounting mechanism 204 . The spring-loaded button can be biased to extend out of the locking member 210, thereby retaining the locking member in a corresponding locking configuration of the deck or hole, and can be activated by the user of the actuator 208 (i.e., with the button toward the accessory. 200 and slide away from the side of the hole) to overcome this offset. In other implementations, the actuator 208 may be a spring-loaded button mounted to extend vertically or at an angle upward from the handle 202 and/or mounting mechanism 204 and drive the locking member 210 to retract and extend.

As noted above, the locking member 210 has a locked position, such as a tab extending from the mounting mechanism, and an unlocked position, such as when the tab is retracted into the mounting mechanism. Other forms of locked and unlocked positions may be used, such as hinged latches that may be actuated to rotate to engage holes or ridges or indents in the face of the board, or other latches. In a preferred implementation, the accessory 200 includes only a single locking mechanism 206 for enabling single-handed operation of the actuator 208 and enabling coordinated removal of the accessory 200 from or installation of the accessory 200 to the deck, respectively. In other embodiments, the accessory 200 can include two or more locking mechanisms 206 disposed on the accessory 200 for greater securing and locking and to reduce the ease with which the accessory 200 can be disengaged from the deck. In some implementations, a single actuator 208 can operate multiple locking members 210 .

In some implementations, the mounting mechanism 204 of the accessory 200 can include a flange 212 . Flanges 212 may be configured to engage complementary flanges in one or more holes or openings on a deck such as deck 100 shown in FIG. 1 . The flanges 212 may be configured to rotatably engage complementary flange(s) of one or more holes or openings in the deck, eg, to be screwed into the holes or openings in the deck.

FIG. 3 illustrates an exemplary embodiment of a locking mechanism 206 for use with accessory 200 . The locking mechanism 206 may include an actuator 208 and a locking member 210 . As described above, the locking member 210 can be extended and retracted by operation of the actuator 208 . Actuator 208 may be a spring-loaded button disposed within accessory 200 . The spring loaded button can be biased to extend the locking member 210 laterally with the accessory 200 . Spring loading may be provided by one or more biasing elements 214 . The locking mechanism 206 can be disposed in a locking mechanism receptacle 216 in the accessory 200 (shown in FIG. 2 ). Locking mechanism receiver 216 may include a locking mechanism cover 218 configured to secure locking mechanism 206 into locking mechanism receiver 216 . Locking mechanism receiver 216 may have a complementary shape to locking mechanism 206 . Locking mechanism receiver 216 may have a shape adapted to engage one or more biasing elements 214 . The shape of the locking mechanism housing 216 can cause the biasing elements 214 to deform inwardly toward each other when the actuator 208 is slid laterally away from the perimeter of the accessory 200 . Inward deformation of the biasing element 214 may cause the biasing element 214 to become biased and tend to attempt to reposition itself in its original configuration. Locking mechanism housing 216 may be shaped such that when actuator 208 is slid sideways and then released, locking mechanism 206 slides laterally within locking mechanism receptacle 216 such that locking member 210 extends from the perimeter of accessory 200 .

In some variations, locking member 210 may be configured to retract when accessory 200 is initially disposed in the opening in the deck. Locking member 210 may include a ramped portion, and when accessory 200 is pushed into the opening in the deck, the perimeter of the opening engages the ramped portion such that locking member 210 retracts and engages biasing element 214 . When the locking member 210 is positioned adjacent to the receiving notch, the locking member 210 may extend into the notch as the biasing element 214 returns to its previous state. Where the locking mechanism 206 is provided in the plate, the device may function similarly. Engagement of the accessory against the angled locking member may cause the angled locking member to retract.

As shown in FIG. 4, exercise device 400 may include a deck 402 having a through-channel 404 with a locking mechanism that allows the user to switch from one exercise mode to another by installing different accessories or modular exercise accessories. Quickly switch to another workout mode. Shown in FIG. 4 is an exercise board 400 that includes a deck 402 having a top surface 406 and a bottom surface 408 . The deck 402 includes a major axis 410 and a minor axis 412 . The through channel 404 is located at the intersection of the major axis and the minor axis, and the through channel 404 provides an opening in the center of the plate surface 402 . The through channel 404 is configured to receive the central module 14, which may take various configurations. The central module 414 may extend below the deck 402, it may extend above the deck 404, it may be flush with the upper or lower surface of the deck, or it may be flush with both the top and bottom surfaces of the deck together. Such a configuration may occur when exercise device 400 is modified for use as a skateboard, as discussed with reference to other figures. In an implementation consistent with the illustration of FIG. 4 , the center module 414 may have a handle 416 at its top that sits above the deck.

The exercise board includes a mounting mechanism 418 which may be a rotating ring 420 as shown in FIG. 4 . The swivel ring may be a fixed ring relative to deck 402 , but allows rotation of center module 414 relative to swivel ring 420 . In the mounting mechanism of FIG. 4 , extension tabs 422 protrude from swivel ring 420 and fit into slots 424 . The slots 424 may allow the swivel ring 420 to be locked in place by partial twisting of the swivel ring, or they may fit into threads, allowing the swivel ring 420 to be secured by screwing it into place. Shown in FIG. 4 is a pair of lateral receiving locations 428 . Lateral receiving location 428 may be an exercise accessory receiver. Side receiving locations 428 may be provided on either side of central module 414 . Lateral receiving locations 428 may be configured to facilitate removable installation of a number of different types of exercise accessories 430 . In the view shown in Figure 4, the exercise accessory is the handle 432, but other types of exercise accessories are available, and the key concept of the present device is that the exercise board utilizes a center module selected from a number of available center modules, And the exercise accessory is selected from a number of available exercise accessories.

Plate 400 can be of various sizes and shapes. In many configurations, deck 402 is longer on major axis 410 than on minor axis 412 . The deck can be made from a variety of materials including plastic, wood, graphite, aluminum or other suitable strong and lightweight materials for the intended exercise purpose. The top side 406 of the deck can be plastic polyethylene and can have a textured surface for grip and aesthetics. A typical configuration of the board is 26.7 in length, 14.9 in width, and 0.78 in board thickness. For example, receiver locations or modular exercise receivers can be from 1.5 inches to 3 inches in diameter. As an example, the diameter of the through channel 404 may be 8.6 inches to 10 inches.

The underside of the deck can be lined with hard plastic rails which allow the deck to slide easily over any smooth surface. This allows the user to perform a wide variety of core strengthening exercises as well as upper and lower body strength training exercises such as abdominal curls, lateral extension offset pushes and reverse lunges.

The disclosed exercise device may include a threaded locking system for the center module. A threaded locking system for the center module may include a two-stage mechanism for securing the center module attachment. The central modular unit will apply an upward or downward force to the deck 402 via the through channel 404, twist and lock into place. The center module attachment may be configured to remain locked in place in deck 402 until released. This release may be facilitated by a release button or other release means, either on the top or bottom side of the deck 402 adjacent the through passage 404 . Such release means may be a release button or actuator arranged in the central module attachment 414 . In some variations, the release device may be provided in the rotating ring 420 .

In some variations of the subject matter, a user can remove the center module attachment and/or the modular exercise accessory by unscrewing it from a threaded opening or bayonet.

Depending on the configuration the user chooses to create with exercise board 400 , by combining different central modules 414 and different modular exercise accessories 430 , the side view of the device can look quite different than that shown in FIG. 4 . FIG. 5 shows a ring structure 432 in side view, which is one type of mounting device used to secure the center module 414 to the deck 402 . Also shown in FIG. 5 is a side view of a specific example of the center module 414 . This particular example of the center module 414 is made up of a generally hemispherical lower half and a partial sphere on top above the deck. The upper portion of this particular example of the center module 414 has a top that is flush with the handle. This version of the center module 414 is known as a bouncing ball, and is preferably inflated rather than solid. It is elastic and made of a flexible material such as rubber, polyurethane, PVC, or another flexible material.

The bouncing ball is configured to create a very unstable surface, allowing the user to use the bouncing motion to develop balance, coordination and strength. Additionally, the bouncing ball attachment develops the cardiovascular system as the bouncing action mimics a backboard or mini trampoline. Bouncing increases the user's heart rate, so the bouncing ball attachment is ideal for interval training, where the user bounces vigorously for short periods of time to get the heart rate up, then slows down or stops bouncing to recover. The process repeats for a desired interval period for a desired period of time. To bounce, the user stands on the board. A foot strap can be used, or the foot can be placed on the grip or handle, or the side receiver position can be loaded with a disc that covers the opening. To bounce, users can use the side attachments to bring their feet into the board, or they can squeeze the top portion of the ball between their feet for a grip. When the user begins a bouncing motion, the user's small initial jumps can be built into larger bounces. The top side is designed so that the foot can be wedged under the most bulbous part of the ball for grip and control.

The bouncing ball attachment version of the center module 141 can be used for upper and lower body strength exercises, such as push-ups or squats. For push-ups, the hands can be anywhere on the board, but they will most likely be used in the configuration of the grip 432 at the attachment location of the modular exercise accessory. Through these exercises, users develop greater balance, core strength, and articulation of stabilizer muscles.

Referring to Figure 6, an exercise device may include a central module 414 in the form of an expandable shaped ball, as shown in Figure 10, which features a ring with the expandable ball at its narrowest point on the ring. The ring facilitates securing the ball to the deck 402 . FIG. 6 is an embodiment of the apparatus and includes a central module similar to that shown in FIG. 3 . It also includes an annular structure 434 that fits into the mounting device 418 . In this case, ring structure 434 is larger than shown in FIG. 1 and includes handle 436 .
