For maintaining health, exercise machines available in the market are very costly and it is not feasible for everybody to spare time and money for exercise in gym. Conventional rocking chair is available in the market but is very expensive. The swings available in the market are rigid, i.e. they cannot be tilted as per ones’ requirements.
Maruti Jhula Chair, an exercise cum health care chair is a unique combination of hammock, easy chair, small jhula and lower body exerciser. This product is ideally situated for Indian urban middle class adult who seldom goes to a health club or outdoors for exercise and would prefer an easy chair, which he can use both for relaxation and exercise.
The structure is like a swing, where the modifications have been done on the sitting platform in the form of a chair. The platform is a parallelogram structured and the link, which extends away from the ground, is the backrest for the chair and the link extending towards ground is the leg support for the person sitting on the chair. The vertices of the parallelogram are hinged, so as the entire setup can follow a specified path and the chair may be used as an easy chair or as a bed. The structure is balanced in such a manner so as if one transfers his/her entire weight on one side of the swing; he/she will no topple.
