Abstract

A kind of exercise furniture includes a rocking frame and a recliner frame. The rocking frame has a rocking base. The recliner frame, which is supported by the rocking frame, includes a back support and a seat support mounted to the back support to define a recliner angle therebetween, wherein the recliner frame is adapted for primarily exercising a user's abdomen when the back support and the seat support are pivotally and repeatedly folded with the leg support to alter its inclined angle, so as to concurrently generate a rocking motion at the rocking base of the rocking frame.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . Exercise furniture, comprising:
 a rocking frame having a rocking base; and   a recliner frame which is supported by the rocking frame, and comprises a back support, a seat support and a leg support pivotally mounted to said seat support, wherein said recliner frame is adapted for primarily exercising a user's abdomen when said leg support is pivotally and repeatedly swung downwardly towards said seat support by an urging force applied thereto so as to concurrently generate a rocking motion at said rocking base of said rocking frame.   
   
   
       2 . The exercise furniture, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said rocking frame comprises two supporting members supporting said recliner frame therebetween, wherein said rocking base is formed at two bottom portions of each of said supporting members for providing a rocking surface to guide said rocking movement of said exercise furniture when said exercise furniture is swung about said rocking surface, wherein each of said rocking surfaces has a predetermined radius of curvature for dictating an extent to which said rocking frame is capable of being rocked for exercising said user's body. 
   
   
       3 . The exercise furniture, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said recliner frame further comprises an exercise arrangement mounted on said rocking frame for providing an optimal loading thereon for said user to exercise, wherein said exercise arrangement comprises a mounting device provided on a rear side of said back support, and a weight adjustably mounted on said mounting device for providing an optimal loading to said back support so that said user is arranged to exercise in a corresponding rigor for initiating said rocking movement of said rocking frame. 
   
   
       4 . The exercise furniture, as recited in  claim 2 , wherein said recliner frame further comprises an exercise arrangement mounted on said rocking frame for providing an optimal loading thereon for said user to exercise, wherein said exercise arrangement comprises a mounting device provided on a rear side of said back support, and a weight adjustably mounted on said mounting device for providing an optimal loading to said back support so that said user is arranged to exercise in a corresponding rigor for initiating said rocking movement of said rocking frame. 
   
   
       5 . The exercise furniture, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said recliner frame further comprises a resilient exercise arrangement mounted on said rocking frame for normally retaining a predetermined angle between said seat support and said leg support, wherein said resilient exercise arrangement comprises a connecting member having one end connecting with said seat support, and another end pivotally connected with said leg support for pivotally folding said leg support with respect to said seat support so as to allow exercising said user's body while initiating said rocking movement of said rocking frame and said recliner frame. 
   
   
       6 . The exercise furniture, as recited in  claim 3 , wherein said recliner frame further comprises a resilient exercise arrangement mounted on said rocking frame for normally retaining a predetermined angle between said seat support and said leg support, wherein said resilient exercise arrangement comprises a connecting member having one end connecting with said seat support, and another end pivotally connected with said leg support for pivotally folding said leg support with respect to said seat support so as to allow exercising said user's body while initiating said rocking movement of said rocking frame and said recliner frame. 
   
   
       7 . The exercise furniture, as recited in  claim 4 , wherein said recliner frame further comprises a resilient exercise arrangement mounted on said rocking frame for normally retaining a predetermined angle between said seat support and said leg support, wherein said resilient exercise arrangement comprises a connecting member having one end connecting with said seat support, and another end pivotally connected with said leg support for pivotally folding said leg support with respect to said seat support so as to allow exercising said user's body while initiating said rocking movement of said rocking frame and said recliner frame. 
   
   
       8 . The exercise furniture, as recited in  claim 5 , wherein said resilient exercise arrangement further comprises a resilient member mounted on said recliner frame for normally exerting an urging force towards said connecting member so as to normally retain said seat support and said leg support in position at said inclined angle. 
   
   
       9 . The exercise furniture, as recited in  claim 6 , wherein said resilient exercise arrangement further comprises a resilient member mounted on said recliner frame for normally exerting an urging force towards said connecting member so as to normally retain said seat support and said leg support in position at said inclined angle. 
   
   
       10 . The exercise furniture, as recited in  claim 7 , wherein said resilient exercise arrangement further comprises a resilient member mounted on said recliner frame for normally exerting an urging force towards said connecting member so as to normally retain said seat support and said leg support in position at said inclined angle. 
   
   
       11 . The exercise furniture, as recited in  claim 1 , further comprising a control timer having a programmable alarm provided on said recliner frame for indicating time and health information relating to said exercise of said user's body. 
   
   
       12 . The exercise furniture, as recited in  claim 8 , further comprising a control timer having a programmable alarm provided on said recliner frame for indicating time and health information relating to said exercise of said user's body. 
   
   
       13 . The exercise furniture, as recited in  claim 9 , further comprising a control timer having a programmable alarm provided on said recliner frame for indicating time and health information relating to said exercise of said user's body. 
   
   
       14 . The exercise furniture, as recited in  claim 10 , further comprising a control timer having a programmable alarm provided on said recliner frame for indicating time and health information relating to said exercise of said user's body. 
   
   
       15 . The exercise furniture, as recited in  claim 3 , wherein said mounting device comprises a guiding track wherein said weight is arranged to slide along the guiding track for retaining at a predetermined position thereon, in such a manner that said user is allowed to selectively adjust an optimal loading against which said user exercises for achieving an optimal exercise performance. 
   
   
       16 . The exercise furniture, as recited in  claim 4 , wherein said mounting device comprises a guiding track wherein said weight is arranged to slide along the guiding track for retaining at a predetermined position thereon, in such a manner that said user is allowed to selectively adjust an optimal loading against which said user exercises for achieving an optimal exercise performance.
