Description

The The present invention relates to a gymnastic apparatus according to the preamble of Claim 1.

One generic gymnastic equipment is known and comprises a rigid rod, which for manual holding by a user has at least two gripping areas. Besides, they are at least two elastic ropes present at end portions of the rod are attached.

Such Gymnastics enable the user, numerous exercises, as they are performed for physiotherapy or in the gym, perform. Such exercises strengthen Stamina, strength, ability to coordinate and increase the fitness of a user.

A The object of the invention is to provide a gymnastic apparatus with which different exercises accomplished can be. Furthermore, the device should depending on the user gymnastic exercises allow with different force.

These Task is by the gymnastic apparatus with the features of the claim 1 solved.

preferred Embodiments of the device according to the invention are the subject the dependent claims and will be as well in the description, in particular in connection with the figure, explained.

The gymnastic apparatus The above type is inventively further developed by the fact that releasable Attach the ropes to the end portions of the rod fastening means are present, that the fastening means are set up for manual Solve and Attach the ropes by a user, allowing for different gymnastic exercises Ropes with a first elasticity by ropes having a second elasticity different from the first elasticity of one User of the gym are interchangeable.

These Education is based on the realization that it is appropriate for different exercises ropes use with different elasticities. This will be a gymnastics device provided, for example, by a rapid conversion in a suitable gymnastic device for someone else Converted user with different body strength can be.

When a significant advantage of the invention can be considered that a gymnastic device above-mentioned type is provided for differently strong users training opportunities allows with appropriate effort.

When Another advantage of the invention can be considered that the gymnastic device in comparison the prior art is easier to use.

at The elastic ropes may be in particular rubber ropes or bands act. Essential here are the elastic properties of the Material. The ropes thus act in the manner of expanders. in principle can therefor known elastic materials and semi-finished products are used.

at a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the gymnastic apparatus be decomposed into at least two parts. As a result, the gymnastic device of a Users can easily be transported and stowed.

This may in the event that the gymnastic device disassembled into two or more parts can be, with the help of a screw, a latching Plug connection and / or a bayonet connection can be achieved. These three variants allow a fast decomposition or a fast assembly of gymnastic equipment and are beyond economical in production.

at In another preferred variant, the rod of the gymnastic apparatus is made of one Aluminum tube and / or a plastic, in particular a fiberglass composite, manufactured. It is advantageous that such a rod easily, robust and also cheap is to produce.

at some gymnastics exercises it proves to be particularly advantageous if the end portions of the Stabs opposite the grip areas are rotatable. It can in one variant a such rotation take place only in a limited angular range. In another variant, a complete revolution of 360 ° about the axis of the staff become. This extends the number of practicable exercises and the scope of the gymnastic device increased.

To the better grip the gymnastics device have the grip areas of the rod in a preferred embodiment of the invention a rubber sheath on. Here you can Other materials, such as plastics, cork or also corrugated metal, to be used. It is also possible that the grip areas have a shape that is a simple manual To facilitate holding the rod.

In a further preferred variant of the invention, at least one of the fastening means with which the cables are fastened to the end regions of the rod is a snap hook. This allows for quick release and re-attachment of the respective cable at the respective end region of the rod. In particular, when ropes of different elasticity are changed frequently, snap hooks are advantageous. For example, a snap hook attached to the rope is attached to an eyelet secured to the rod of the gymnastic apparatus.

In a further embodiment In accordance with the invention, the ropes are attached to the rod so as to be rigid are rotatable about the same, ie about the axis of the rod. This allows gymnastic exercises, in which the ropes are rotated about the rod axis, without the Ropes wrap around the rod, causing unwanted rotational forces on the rod Lead rod would. When the ropes are rotatably mounted, for example, exercises can be performed where two loops are held by the user's feet and the rod is moved freely with both hands. in this connection can they Ropes around the rod in a certain angle range or even around full 360 ° rotated become.

at In a further preferred variant, the gymnastic apparatus comprises pairs of ropes with different lengths and / or different thicknesses available. this makes possible that a single user can perform different exercises or else that user with different physical conditions to do the same exercise.

A another embodiment looks for each rope at least one loop, more preferably several, in particular two loops before. The gymnastics machine can both be used very advantageously with and without loops. When using without loops, the loose end of the rope of the device can be used in apartments e.g. at door or window handles fastened by knotting to in this Way exercises perform. If loops are used, exercises are particularly suitable, where the loops of hands or feet held become. The presence of at least two loops per rope can be with certain gym exercises prove beneficial.

For example can additionally or alternatively at an end region or at both end regions the rod still be attached a loop.

A Another preferred variant has at the end facing away from the rod further fastening means, in particular in the form of another snap hook on. By connecting this snap hook with the directly on the rod attached fasteners or with the rope to which the snap hook itself is attached, thus a rope loop can be formed. A user may use this loop e.g. attach to a door handle and onto this Way exercises carry out. About that can out also separate, possibly different loops or others Components with the help of other fasteners on the rope ends be attached.

In a preferred embodiment the loops should be able to rotate on the respective rope around the rope axis to be appropriate. This allows exercises to be done where, for example, an arm of the user makes circular movements without that the respective rope twisted. A twisting would follow lead to a certain amount of time that the gymnastics exercise no longer executable and the rope has to be unwound again.

at a variant that allows for more exercises are also the loops are made of an elastic material.

Advantageous is still, if the loops attached to the respective rope manually releasably are. Thereby can different types of loops are attached to the respective rope. Here you can different loop sizes for different Benut zer be used. Loops with handholds are another option. Furthermore you can the loops on other gymnastic equipment, such as one Wall bars, be attached, which allows more types of exercises.

at In a particularly preferred variant, the loops are designed as annular bands.

Further Advantages and features of the present invention will be described below with reference to the attached Drawing explained. Hereby shows:
