Description

The present invention relates to a float, particularly a float suitable for training the abdominal muscles during bathing.

Conventionally, in order to effectively utilize the time during bathing, the body is trained. For example, Patent Document 1 describes that a C-shaped float is attached to an ankle to train the abdominal muscles. Further, Patent Document 2 describes that an arm is trained by grasping a flat plate provided with a slit by hand and moving it in water.

However, since the float described in Patent Document 1 has a C-shape, it easily comes off from the ankle and is unstable. Further, the flat plate described in Patent Document 2 is difficult to move in a narrow bathtub such as a unit bath, and a strong force is required to move the plate against the resistance of water, so that the relaxing effect at the time of bathing is halved. ..

It is easy to keep the body horizontal by wearing the float 1, and the relaxing effect by stretching the body can be obtained. When you enter the bathtub and soak up to your neck, your weight will be reduced to about 1/10 due to buoyancy, so by using this buoyancy, you can use the minimum force without training while using equipment as in normal abdominal muscle training. The effect can be obtained and the time can be effectively used.
In the case of a wide bathtub, the float 1 may turn over, so it is suitable to use the float 1 in a narrow bathtub where the body can be held down by the tips of the back and feet.

As described above, the float 1 is detachably attached to the float body 10 having a space inside and the float body 10, and is wrapped around the wearer's body to wrap the float body 10 on the wearer's body. Since the float body 10 is provided with a mounting belt 20 that can be fixed to the wearer, the float body 10 can be firmly fixed to the wearer's body with the mounting belt 20, and the float 1 can be moved from the body even if the lander moves the body. It will not come off or shift. Therefore, even in a bathtub such as a narrow unit bath, it is possible to comfortably and surely train muscle strength with a small movement.

Further, when the wearer wears the float 1, the concave curved surface 11 of the float body 10 is brought into contact with the buttocks, so that the float body 10 can be fitted to the body, and the wearer can wear the float 1. Even if the body is moved while worn on the body, the float 1 does not come off or shift from the body. Further, the convex curved surface 12 can be attached to the bottom of the bathtub to move the body back and forth and left and right, and a relaxing effect can be obtained.

Further, by providing a through hole 13 for taking in air and water in the float 1 and adjusting the amount of air and water in the internal space of the float body 10, the buoyancy is adjusted to match the physical strength and physical condition of the wearer. be able to. Further, the wearer can open the block plug 14 in water and inject water into the internal space while wearing the float 1, and can adjust the buoyancy while immersed in the bathtub.

As described above, as the purpose of bathing, in addition to the original purpose of warming up, it is possible to train the abdominal muscles by using the float 1, and it is possible to add value. You can train your abdominal muscles even in places where you cannot afford to move freely, such as in a unit bath.

The above-described embodiment is merely an example, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the technical idea of the invention described in the claims.
For example, the shape of the float body 10 and the method of attaching and detaching the mounting belt 20 to the float body 10 are only examples, and the shape of the float body 10 may be an elliptical shape or a mounting ring. The mounting belt 20 may be attached to the float body 10 without using 15.
