Abstract

An exercising device includes a base, a rail, a swinging chair, and a swinging unit. The rail is pivotally disposed at the base by at least one pivoting point. The swinging chair is movably disposed on the rail. The swinging unit is disposed between the rail and the base. The swinging unit is for changing an angle between the rail and the base.

a swinging unit disposed between the rail and the base, the swinging unit comprising an eccentric block to vibrate the rail;

wherein when the swinging chair is moved, a position of the swinging chair relative to a position of the base along a horizontal line is changed such that a force arm between the pivoting point and each of the sliders is changed and a vibrating amplitude of the swinging chair is changed correspondingly when the swinging chair is vibrated relative to the rail.

4. The exercising device of claim 3, further comprising:

a horizontal driving unit, comprising a motor driving the two sliders to move in the rail, thus the swinging chair being linked with the two sliders and moved along the rail.

5. The exercising device of claim 4, wherein,

the horizontal driving unit comprises a screw arbor, wherein the motor drives the screw arbor;

and

a moving unit comprises a body and a screw hole coordinated with the screw arbor, wherein the two sliders are connected to the body, the screw hole is disposed at the body, and when the motor drives the screw arbor, the two sliders are moved in the rail.

6. The exercising device of claim 3, wherein the swinging unit further comprises:

a roller rotatably disposed at the base, wherein the eccentric block sleeves on the roller and pushes the rail; and

a wheel sleeved on the roller.

7. The exercising device of claim 6, further comprising a swing driving unit disposed at the base, wherein the swing driving unit comprises a motor driving the swinging unit to rotate.

8. The exercising device of claim 7, wherein the swing driving unit comprises:

a pulley driven by the motor; and

a belt connecting the pulley to the wheel;

wherein the motor drives the pulley, the belt, the wheel, the roller and the eccentric block to rotate simultaneously.

9. An exercising device for a human to lie, comprising:

a base;

a rail pivotally disposed at the base by at least one pivoting point, wherein the rail comprises two rail frames arranged at two sides of the base, respectively, and a number of the rail is limited to one;

a swinging bed movable along the rail for a linear movement relative to the base, wherein the swinging bed is pivotally connected to the rail by two sliders, a number of the sliders is limited to two, and each of the two sliders is connected to each of the rail frames; and

a swinging unit disposed between the rail and the base, the swinging unit comprising an eccentric block to vibrate the rail;

wherein when the swinging bed is moved, a position of the swinging bed relative to a position of the base along a horizontal line is changed such that a force arm between the pivoting point and each of the sliders is changed and a vibrating amplitude of the swinging bed is changed correspondingly when the swinging bed is vibrated relative to the rail.

10. The exercising device of claim 9, further comprises:

a horizontal driving unit, comprising a motor driving the two sliders to move in the rail, thus the swinging bed being linked with the two sliders and moved along the rail.

11. The exercising device of claim 10, wherein,
