Definitions
- the present invention relates to an upper body exercise device provided to enable a user to do upper body exercise by placing it on his or her hand and moving it back and forth around the body (particularly, the head).
- Plate turning is a joint exercise that rotates the six major joints of our body.
- plate turning rotates the fingers, wrists, elbows, and shoulder joints of a person who does a plate-turning exercise, thereby providing the effect of promoting blood circulation by increasing the body temperature of the muscles and ligaments around the joints and widening the range of motion of the joints.
- plate turning is a full-body exercise that uses the whole body unlike general bare-handed gymnastics because it stimulates the wrists, the elbows, the shoulders, the pelvis, the knees, and the ankles, and provides the effect of improving the user's joint flexibility due to the rotation of the joints and releasing the muscles that were tight due to the whole body stretching.
- plate turning increases the body temperature by about 1-2 degrees immediately after exercise, thereby providing the effect of strengthening the immunity of a user who does exercise.
- the plate used for the plate-turning exercise has a high risk of damage if it falls on the floor during exercise. Furthermore, if an exerciser misses the plate, there is a problem in that other people may be injured.
- the present invention intends to provide a disk-shaped upper body exercise device that can reduce the risk during exercise while providing the effect of a plate-turning exercise.

Description
- The present invention relates to an upper body exercise device provided to enable a user to do upper body exercise by placing it on his or her hand and moving it back and forth around the body (particularly, the head).
- Plate turning is a joint exercise that rotates the six major joints of our body. In particular, plate turning rotates the fingers, wrists, elbows, and shoulder joints of a person who does a plate-turning exercise, thereby providing the effect of promoting blood circulation by increasing the body temperature of the muscles and ligaments around the joints and widening the range of motion of the joints.
- In addition, plate turning is a full-body exercise that uses the whole body unlike general bare-handed gymnastics because it stimulates the wrists, the elbows, the shoulders, the pelvis, the knees, and the ankles, and provides the effect of improving the user's joint flexibility due to the rotation of the joints and releasing the muscles that were tight due to the whole body stretching.
- In addition, plate turning increases the body temperature by about 1-2 degrees immediately after exercise, thereby providing the effect of strengthening the immunity of a user who does exercise.
- However, the plate used for the plate-turning exercise has a high risk of damage if it falls on the floor during exercise. Furthermore, if an exerciser misses the plate, there is a problem in that other people may be injured.
- Therefore, there is a need for an exercise device capable of reducing the risk during exercise while providing the effect of a plate-turning exercise.
- In order to overcome the above problems, the present invention intends to provide a disk-shaped upper body exercise device that can reduce the risk during exercise while providing the effect of a plate-turning exercise.

effect selection button 160 may provide various sounds, such as various natural sounds (e.g., water droplet sounds, natural wind sounds, brook sounds, birdsongs, etc.), various musical instrument sounds (e.g., piano key sounds, violin sounds, etc.), other sounds (e.g., bicycle sounds, whistle sounds, space sounds, etc.), according to a user's preference. - When the user presses the
automatic button 165, whether the user's movement is appropriate may be determined based on a preset action pattern by theprocessor 130 when the user puts the disk-shaped upperbody exercise device 100 on the right or left hand indoors and moves it back and forth around the body. - In this case, the preset action pattern may include a movement in which the user moves back and forth about 3 m, a movement in which the user moves forth by 1.5 m, and a movement in which the user moves back by 1.5 m.
- When the user's movement is determined to be appropriate by the
processor 130, the user may be notified of this by using at least one of thedisplay 140, the LED lights 145, and thespeaker 180 according to the number of exercises. - For example, when the user presses the
automatic button 165 and theprocessor 130 determines that the user's moving exercise is appropriate, theprocessor 130 may perform control so that when the user succeeds in 10 exercises, the LED lights 145 are turned on, the number of exercises are shown on thedisplay 140, and audio information about 10 successful exercises is output through thespeaker 180. Thereafter, theprocessor 130 may perform control so that when the user succeeds in 20 exercises, the LED lights 145 are turned on, the number of exercises is shown on thedisplay 140, and audio information regarding 20 successful exercises is output through thespeaker 180. - The
170 and 175 may be implemented as two on the left and right sides of the lower part of the disk-shaped uppermanual buttons body exercise device 100 so that the user can hold the disk-shaped upperbody exercise device 100 by using the left or right palm. - The
170 and 175 have recessed shapes so that the user can hold the disk-shaped uppermanual buttons body exercise device 100 with his or her hand, and may also be called grip portions installed on the disk-shaped upperbody exercise device 100. - When the user presses the
170 and 175 for a long time (e.g., about 1 to 2 seconds), the disk-shaped uppermanual buttons body exercise device 100 is turned on. In contrast, when the user presses the 170 and 175 again for a long time (e.g., about 1 to 2 seconds), the disk-shaped uppermanual buttons body exercise device 100 may be turned off. - When the user presses the
170 and 175 once during upper body exercise, a number may be shown on themanual buttons display 140, the LED lights 145 may be lit up, or the number (e.g., one, two, three, etc.) may be output through thespeaker 180. - The
170 and 175 are formed in recessed shapes, so that the user's hand can be guided to be positioned on themanual buttons 170 and 175.manual buttons - The
speaker 180 may provide sounds selected by the soundeffect selection button 160 or preset sounds under the control of theprocessor 130. - The
