Abstract

A leg stretching and raising workout apparatus include: a load bearing unit having a base for underpinning a shoe/foot and cord-penetrating openings disposed at the base; at least one fastening unit having a cord connected to the cord-penetrating openings to fasten the shoe or foot, and two anchoring portions disposed bilaterally; and two pulling cord members each having a pulling cord, and a cord connecting portion connected to a corresponding one of the anchoring portions. Another leg stretching and raising workout apparatus includes: a load bearing unit having a base for underpinning a shoe/foot, cord-penetrating openings disposed at the base, and two anchoring portions disposed bilaterally; at least one fastening unit having a cord connected to the cord-penetrating openings to fasten the shoe or foot; and two pulling cord members each having a pulling cord and a cord connecting portion connected to a corresponding one of the anchoring portions.

Claims (26)

two pulling cord members ( 80 ) each having a pulling cord ( 81 ) and a cord connecting portion ( 82 ) connected to a corresponding one of the anchoring portions ( 72 ) of the at least one fastening unit ( 70 );

wherein the load bearing unit ( 1 ) has a first support component ( 10 ), a second support component ( 20 ), and a connecting member ( 3 ) for coupling together the first support component ( 10 ) and the second support component ( 20 ).

2. The leg stretching and raising workout apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the connecting member ( 3 ) has an upper coupling component ( 30 ) and a lower coupling component ( 60 ), with the upper coupling component ( 30 ) coupled to the first support component ( 10 ), the lower coupling component ( 60 ) coupled to the second support component ( 20 ), allowing the upper coupling component ( 30 ) to connect pivotally to an operating element ( 50 ) with a pivot ( 40 ) and thus rotate by a predetermined angle.

3. The leg stretching and raising workout apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first support component ( 10 ) has a plurality of positioning recesses ( 15 ), the second support component ( 20 ) has a plurality of positioning blocks ( 25 ) meshing with the plurality of positioning recesses ( 15 ) of the first support component ( 10 ), the upper coupling component ( 30 ) has a tenon ( 34 ), and the lower coupling component ( 60 ) has an escape groove ( 64 ) penetrated by the tenon ( 34 ) of the upper coupling component ( 30 ).

4. The leg stretching and raising workout apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the load bearing unit ( 1 ) has a bottom portion ( 21 ), a bent portion ( 22 ), and a rear securing portion ( 23 ) such that the plurality of cord penetrating openings ( 16 ) are disposed at the rear securing portion ( 23 ) and penetrable by the at least one fastening unit ( 70 ), thereby allowing the bottom portion ( 21 ) and the rear securing portion ( 23 ) to be connected by the bent portion ( 22 ).

5. A leg stretching and raising workout apparatus, comprising:

a load bearing unit ( 1 ) having a base ( 11 ) for underpinning a shoe or foot, a plurality of cord penetrating openings ( 16 ) disposed at the base ( 11 ), and two anchoring portions ( 17 ) disposed on two sides, respectively, of the load bearing unit ( 1 );

at least one fastening unit ( 70 ) having a cord ( 71 ) connected to the plurality of cord penetrating openings ( 16 ) of the load bearing unit ( 1 ) and adapted to fasten the shoe or foot in place; and

two pulling cord members ( 80 ) each having a pulling cord ( 81 ) and a cord connecting portion ( 82 ) connected to a corresponding one of the anchoring portions ( 17 ) of the load bearing unit ( 1 );

wherein the load bearing unit ( 1 ) has a first support component ( 10 ), a second support component ( 20 ), and a connecting member ( 3 ) for coupling together the first support component ( 10 ) and the second support component ( 20 ).

6. The leg stretching and raising workout apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the connecting member ( 3 ) has an upper coupling component ( 30 ) and a lower coupling component ( 60 ), with the upper coupling component ( 30 ) coupled to the first support component ( 10 ), the lower coupling component ( 60 ) coupled to the second support component ( 20 ), allowing the upper coupling component ( 30 ) to connect pivotally to an operating element ( 50 ) with a pivot ( 40 ) and thus rotate by a predetermined angle.

7. The leg stretching and raising workout apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the first support component ( 10 ) has a plurality of positioning recesses ( 15 ), the second support component ( 20 ) has a plurality of positioning blocks ( 25 ) meshing with the plurality of positioning recesses ( 15 ) of the first support component ( 10 ), the upper coupling component ( 30 ) has a tenon ( 34 ), and the lower coupling component ( 60 ) has an escape groove ( 64 ) penetrated by the tenon ( 34 ) of the upper coupling component ( 30 ).

8. The leg stretching and raising workout apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the load bearing unit ( 1 ) has a bottom portion ( 21 ), a bent portion ( 22 ), and a rear securing portion ( 23 ) such that the plurality of cord penetrating openings ( 16 ) are disposed at the rear securing portion ( 23 ) and penetrable by the at least one fastening unit ( 70 ), thereby allowing the bottom portion ( 21 ) and the rear securing portion ( 23 ) to be connected by the bent portion ( 22 ).

9. A leg stretching and raising workout apparatus, comprising:

a load bearing unit ( 1 ) having a base ( 11 ) for underpinning a shoe or foot and a plurality of cord penetrating openings ( 16 ) disposed at the base ( 11 );

at least one fastening unit ( 70 ) having a cord ( 71 ) connected to the plurality of cord penetrating openings ( 16 ) of the load bearing unit ( 1 ) and adapted to fasten the shoe or foot in place, and two anchoring portions ( 72 ) disposed on left and right sides, respectively, of the at least one fastening unit ( 70 ); and
