Ein in der US-PS5 362 296 beschriebenes Trainingsgerät enthält ein an der Rückenlehne eines Stuhls anbringbares bzw. angebrachtes, mit einem Vertikalschlitz versehenes Ver- tikalrohr, in dem ein Kulissenblock verschiebbar geführt ist. An diesem Kulissenblock sind zwei Schwenkarme angelenkt, die um Horizontalachsen verschwenkbar sind. An den oberen Enden der Schwenkarme sind Rollen befestigt, über die elastische Zugseile geführt sind, die mit Handgriffen versehen sind derart, daß beim Ziehen an diesen Handgriffen gegen die Rückstellkraft der Zugseile gearbeitet werden muß, wodurch ein gewisser Trainingseffekt auftritt. Dabei besteht gleichzeitig auch die Möglichkeit die Schwenkarme um ihre Horizontalachsen zwischen oberen und unteren Endstellungen zu verschwenken, wobei diese Endstellungen durch die Länge des Vertikalschlitzes in dem Vertialrohr bestimmt sind. Die bekannte Konstruktion ist relativ sperrig und damit raumaufwending, wobei weiterhin konstruktionsbedingt nur bestimmte Muskelpartien trainiert werden können.A training device described in US Pat. No. 5,362,296 contains a fastening which is attachable or attached to the backrest of a chair and provided with a vertical slot. Tical tube in which a sliding block is guided. Two pivot arms are articulated on this link block, which can be pivoted about horizontal axes. At the upper ends of the swivel arms, rollers are attached, over which elastic traction ropes are guided, which are provided with handles in such a way that, when pulling on these handles, work must be carried out against the restoring force of the traction ropes, as a result of which a certain training effect occurs. At the same time, there is also the possibility of pivoting the swivel arms about their horizontal axes between upper and lower end positions, these end positions being determined by the length of the vertical slot in the vertical tube. The known construction is relatively bulky and therefore space-consuming, whereby, due to the construction, only certain muscle parts can be trained.
Aus der GB 2 178 969A ist ein Stuhl bekannt, bei dem die beiden Armlehnen seitlich am Stuhlsitz angelenkt und gegen Federkraft nach außen verschwenkbar sind. In der US-PS 5 044 633 ist ein Stuhl beschrieben, bei dem die Armlehnen um eine im Bereich ihres hinteren Endes befindliche Horizontalachse gegen die Kraft eines Widerstandsgebers nach oben verschwenkt werden können.From GB 2 178 969A a chair is known in which the two armrests are articulated laterally on the chair seat and can be pivoted outwards against spring force. US Pat. No. 5,044,633 describes a chair in which the armrests can be pivoted upward about a horizontal axis located in the region of their rear end against the force of a resistance sensor.
Auch mit diesen beiden bekannten Systemen können nur bestimmte Muskelpartien trainiert werden.With these two known systems, only certain muscle groups can be trained.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Trainingsgerät, insbesondere Rückentrainingsgerät zu schaffen, welches einfach in der Konstruktion und der Lage ist, eine Vielzahl von Muskelpartien insbesondere im Arm- und Rückenbereich zu trainieren.The object of the invention is to create a training device, in particular a back training device, which is simple in construction and capable of training a large number of muscle parts, in particular in the arm and back area.

Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, den Handgriff 13a entgegen der Kraft des um den Führungskörper 15a und die Verlängerung 13.1a gelegten Widerstandsgebers 14a, vorzugsweise in Form eines Zugfederelementes, einerseits nach außen zu ziehen und andererseits in horizontaler Richtung in Richtung des Doppelpfeiles fi zu verschwenken, so wie es aus den Figuren 2a, 2b ersichtlich ist. Für den gegenüberliegenden Handgriff 13b gilt eine entsprechende Konstruktion.For this purpose, e.g. B. attached to the mounting element 1 1a, a guide body 15a, which is provided with an elongated hole 15.1a into which a guide pin 13.2a engages, which is attached to a plate-shaped extension 13.1a of the handle 13a. In this way it is possible, on the one hand, to pull the handle 13a against the force of the resistance sensor 14a, preferably in the form of a tension spring element, placed around the guide body 15a and the extension 13.1a, and on the other hand to pivot it in the horizontal direction in the direction of the double arrow fi , as can be seen from Figures 2a, 2b. A corresponding construction applies to the opposite handle 13b.
Gemäß den Figuren 3 bis 5 sind bei einem mit Armlehnen 20a bzw. 20b versehenen Stuhl 1 Trainingsgeräte an diesen Armlehnen 20a bzw. 20b angebracht.According to FIGS. 3 to 5, in a chair provided with armrests 20a or 20b, 1 training devices are attached to these armrests 20a or 20b.
Das z. B. an der Armlehne 20a angebrachte Trainingsgerät umfaßt ein mit einem Vertikalschlitz 21.1 versehenes Vertikalrohr 21 , in dem ein kolbenartiges Montageelement 27 entgegen der Kraft eines Widerstandsgebers 28 nach gedrückt werden kann. Bei diesem Widerstandsgeber 28 kann es sich entweder, wie dargestellt, um eine Schraubendruckfeder oder um eine Kolben-Zylinder-Einheit handeln, wie es in Verbindung mit Figur 2 beschrieben ist.The Z. B. attached to the armrest 20a training device includes a vertical slot 21.1 provided with a vertical tube 21 in which a piston-like mounting element 27 can be pressed against the force of a resistance sensor 28. This resistance sensor 28 can either be, as shown, a helical compression spring or a piston-cylinder unit, as described in connection with FIG. 2.
An dem Montageelement 27 ist durch den Vertikalschlitz 26.1 hindurch ein Führungskörper 35 befestigt, der mit einem Langloch 35.1 versehen ist, in das ein an dem Hand- griff 33 befestigter Führungsbolzen 33.1 eingreift, siehe Figuren 5a und 5b. Der Handgriff 33 ist mit einem Widerstandsgebers 34, z. B. einer Zugfeder, an dem außerhalb des Vertikalrohres 26 liegenden Teil des Montageelementes 27 befestigt. Auf diese Weise kann der Handgriff 33 vergleichbar wie z.B. der in Figur 2 dargestellte Handgriff 13a bzw. 13b entgegen der Kraft des Widerstandsgebers 34 einerseits nach außen gezogen und andererseits in Richtung des Doppelpfeiles fl in horizontaler Richtung verschwenkt werden.A guide body 35 is fastened to the mounting element 27 through the vertical slot 26.1 and is provided with an elongated hole 35.1 into which a hand-held Handle 33 attached guide pin 33.1 engages, see Figures 5a and 5b. The handle 33 is with a resistance sensor 34, for. B. a tension spring, attached to the outside of the vertical tube 26 part of the mounting member 27. In this way, the handle 33, comparable to, for example, the handle 13a or 13b shown in FIG. 2, can on the one hand be pulled outward against the force of the resistance transmitter 34 and on the other hand pivoted in the horizontal direction in the direction of the double arrow fl.
Die in den Figuren 6 bis 8 dargestellte Ausführungsform eines an den Armlehnen 20a bzw. 20b eines Stuhls 1 angebrachten Trainingsgeräte unterscheidet sich von der Ausführungsform gemäß den Figuren 4 und 5 dadurch, daß der Handgriff 33 mittels eines länglichen, gummielastischen Widerstandsgebers an dem jeweiligen Montageelement 27 befestigt. Dieser gummielastische Widerstandsgeber 40 ist zwischen zwei horizontalen Führungselementen 41, 41 geführt, die Führungsnuten 41.1 aufweisen, in die an dem Handgriff 33 angebrachte Führungsstifte eingreifen. Durch Verschwenken des Handgriffs 33 in Richtung des Doppelpfeiles fl ist somit gewährleistet, daß der Widerstandsgeber 40 einerseits seine Länge verändern kann und andererseits gleichzeitig gebogen wird. Die beiden Führungselemenete 41 - 41 haben vorzugsweise die Form von zwei Führungsplatten, die außerhalb des Vertikalrohrs 26 an dem Montageelement 27 befestigt sind. The embodiment shown in FIGS. 6 to 8 of a training device attached to the armrests 20a or 20b of a chair 1 differs from the embodiment according to FIGS. 4 and 5 in that the handle 33 by means of an elongated, rubber-elastic resistance sensor on the respective mounting element 27 attached. This rubber-elastic resistance sensor 40 is guided between two horizontal guide elements 41, 41 which have guide grooves 41.1, into which guide pins attached to the handle 33 engage. By pivoting the handle 33 in the direction of the double arrow fl it is thus ensured that the resistance transmitter 40 can change its length on the one hand and on the other hand it is bent at the same time. The two guide elements 41-41 are preferably in the form of two guide plates which are fastened to the mounting element 27 outside the vertical tube 26.
