Description

The The invention relates to a training device for mobilizing the core muscles, Musculature of the upper extremities, as well as strengthening and stretching.

you has already created various training devices that mobilize serve the user. However, these exercise equipment is on regularly certain exercises aligned, allowing a full mobilization of the user requires the use of several different devices. As every single one exerciser due to its robust construction has comparatively large dimensions, is the provision of for various applications required exercise equipment with a considerable Space required.

It Therefore, the task is as versatile as possible usable training device the aforementioned To create a way in which a user can perform as many different exercises as possible.

The inventive solution this Task is the exercise device of the type mentioned in particular in the features of valid claim 1.

The inventive exercise device has at least a swivel arm, which can be pivoted by the user against a restoring force is. In this case, the at least one swivel arm corresponding to the body size of the user individually in height adjusted its pivot axis and / or the arm length of the swing arm and adapted. The at least one swivel arm is relative to its pivot axis so rotatable and fixable that with The swivel arm, the various push, pull and movement exercises are performed.

Around change the restoring force acting on the swivel arm and to be able to adapt individually It is advantageous if the restoring force is adjustable.

there sees a preferred embodiment according to the invention before that the swivel arm against the restoring force of at least one Exercise weight is swiveled.

Especially It is advantageous if the training device several training weights are assigned, of which either a training weight or more Training weights the restoring force form.

To a proposal according to the invention provided that the at least one training weight at least a pivotable weight arm is preferably releasably held and that the at least one weight arm connected to at least one pivot arm is.

The inventive exercise device can be Use in a particularly simple way both for push and pull exercises, when the connection between the at least one weight arm and the at least one swivel arm in the rest position approximately arranged radially to the pivot axis center is and if the at least one swivel arm on both sides about its pivot axis is pivotable. As well as the swivel arm relative to its pivot axis is rotatable and lockable because the connection between the swivel arm and the weight arm at rest approximately radially to the pivot axes center is arranged and since the swivel arm on both sides, i. in opposite directions can be pivoted into its pivot axis, the pivot arm can be such adjust that the most diverse Mobilization exercises are possible.

Around the training device preferably to be able to serve with both arms, It is advantageous if the training device has two pivot arms whose pivot axes are mounted on a common swivel arm carrier.

The Swivel arms can be adjusted together to the size of the user, when the swivel arm wearer height and / or width adjustable is.

Around the diverse ones applications the training device according to the invention still additionally to increase and to the exercise device according to the invention both sitting as well as standing up for the various mobilization exercises to be able to use it is useful if on the swivel arm carrier a seat is provided and if the seat optionally between a Middle position and on both sides each one of the pivot arms approximate seating position is movable.

Further Features of the invention will become apparent from the following description an inventive Ausführungsbei game in connection with the claims as well as the drawing. The individual features can each for themselves or to several at an embodiment according to the invention be realized.

It shows:

1 a training device for the mobilization of the trunk musculature as well as the muscles of the upper extremities in a perspective representation,

2 the exercise machine off 1 in a front view, and

3 the exercise machine off 1 and 2 in a top view.

In the 1 to 3 is a training device 1 shown, which is intended for the mobilization of the trunk muscles and the muscles of the upper extremities. The training device 1 has two pivot arms 2 . 2 ' which can be operated by the user not only one at a time but, if required, with both arms simultaneously and independently of each other.

The swivel arms 2 . 2 ' are each about a pivot axis 3 . 3 ' pivotable, which pivot axes 3 . 3 ' on a common swivel arm carrier 4 are stored. Around the swivel axes 3 . 3 ' to be able to adapt to the user and, for example, his shoulder joints, is the swivel arm carrier 4 height-adjustable.

To adapt to the arm length of the user is the arm length of the pivot arms 2 . 2 ' variable in length. The swivel arms 2 . 2 ' have two, telescopically intertwined arm parts 5 . 6 on, which are gradually determined in various relative positions.

The swivel arms 2 . 2 ' are relative to their pivot axis 3 . 3 ' rotatable and fixable. This is on each pivot axis 3 . 3 ' a hub 7 held against rotation, with a corresponding and coaxial with the pivot axis 3 . 3 ' arranged turntable 8th on the swivel arm 2 . 2 ' interacts. The associated turntables 7 . 8th can be rotated relative to each other and by means of a locking element 9 be set in one of several different detent positions.

The training device 1 are assigned several, not shown here, annular training weights, of which either a training weight or, if necessary, several training weights on one of the pivot arms 2 . 2 ' form acting restoring force. These workout weights are on a weight arm 10 . 10 ' kept detachable. The weight arms 10 . 10 ' are also on the swivel arm carrier 4 pivotally mounted and in each case with their associated swivel arm 2 . 2 ' connected.

Here is the in 1 dash-dotted lines indicated and formed for example by a wire rope connection L between the weight arms 10 . 10 ' and the associated swivel arm 2 . 2 ' arranged approximately radially to a line passing through the pivot axis center line. Each swivel arm 2 . 2 ' can thus in both directions of rotation about its pivot axis 3 . 3 ' be rotated, regardless of the direction of rotation already from the rest position, the restoring force of the ring with its opening on a web 11 the weight arms 10 . 10 ' deferred annular training weights becomes effective.

The training device 1 indicates on its swivel arm carrier 4 a seat 12 on. From the 1 to 3 It becomes clear that this seat between a central position and both sides of each of the pivot arms 2 . 2 ' approximate sitting position is movable. In the 1 to 3 is the seat 12 in a left arm 2 ' arranged approximate seating position. By adjusting the around a pivot axis 13 in its various seating positions movable seat 12 For example, the seating position of the user can be arranged so that both pivot arms 2 . 2 ' at the same time or just one of the swivel arms 2 . 2 ' can serve. It is also possible, the seat 12 to pivot so that the user the pivot arms 2 . 2 ' or just one of the swivel arms 2 . 2 ' operated in a standing position.

With the training device shown here, for example, pull-over exercises with extended upper arm are possible. Here is the swivel arm 2 . 2 ' set in an upwardly facing rest position and must be pivoted by the user down to vertical.

to Adduction or abduction of the extended upper arm is the Swivel arm either in an up or down rest position brought and must from User against the restoring force either moved down or up.

are the upward-pointing pivot arms of the user by means of both To simultaneously pull down arms in an adduction a vertical train can be trained.

Must the user standing on the side of the training device one of the swivel arms 2 . 2 ' Pressing from an obliquely to the side rest position in the direction away from the user, a Schulterarmdrücken with Oberkörperkräftigung and simultaneous stretching can be achieved.

Is the swivel arm 2 . 2 ' In contrast, directed in its rest position laterally to the user, the For the purpose of a tricep exercise, push the user down.

Due to a changed swivel radius of the swivel arms 2 . 2 ' In addition, an elongation and strengthening of the upper body of the user can be achieved.

These few application examples show how versatile the training device shown here is 1 can be used.
