Abstract

The device has a belt to be applied around a thigh, where the belt includes a grip with a handle bar (1) for gripping with the hand to support the leg musculature by the arm musculature. An axis of the handle bar lies parallel to an upper course of the belt. The handle bar is rotatably supported at a holder, which is fixed at the belt by its base (4), such that the handle bar is placed at a distance from the base.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Mit-Trainieren der Armmuskulatur für Benutzer von pedalbetriebenen Sportgeräten, mit einem um den Oberschenkel anlegbaren Gurt, welcher einen Griff zur Ergreifung mit der Hand aufweist, um die Beinmuskulatur mittels der Armmuskulatur zu unterstützen.The present invention relates to a device for co-training the arm muscles for users of pedal-operated sports equipment, with a belt that can be placed around the thigh, which has a grip for gripping the hand in order to support the leg muscles by means of the arm muscles.

Eine derartige Vorrichtung ist aus der US 5 768 702 bekannt und ermöglicht das Mit-Trainieren der Oberkörper- und Armmuskulatur z.B. auf einem Fahrrad-Heimtrainer. Der Benutzer befestigt an jedem Oberschenkel im Bereich des Knies jeweils eine Vorrichtung und ergreift sie mit jeweils einer Hand, um die Abwärts- oder Aufwärtsbewegung der Beine mit den Armen zu unterstützen.Such a device is known from US 5 768 702 and allows co-training of the upper body and arm muscles, e.g. on a bike exercise bike. The user attaches one device to each thigh in the region of the knee and grips each with one hand to assist the downward or upward movement of the legs with the arms.

Bei der aus der US 5 768 702 bekannten Vorrichtung ist der Griff durch einen an die Form der Handfläche angepaßten Block gebildet, welcher unmittelbar am Gurt befestigt ist und vom Benutzer von oben her ergriffen wird. Die Handfläche ruht auf der Blockoberseite und die Fingerspitzen umfassen die Vorderkanten des Blocks. Dadurch ist die in Zugrichtung ausübbare Armkraft auf das Haltevermögen der Fingerspitzen beschränkt, und durch das Ergreifen von oben ist eine korrekte Belastung der Bizeps-Muskulatur nicht gewährleistet.In the device known from US Pat. No. 5,768,702, the handle is formed by a block adapted to the shape of the palm, which is fastened directly to the strap and gripped by the user from above. The palm rests on the block top and the fingertips cover the leading edges of the block. As a result, the tensile force exerted in the pulling direction is limited to the grip of the fingertips, and by grasping from above a correct load on the biceps muscles is not guaranteed.

Die vorliegende Erfindung setzt sich zum Ziel, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, welche für jede Art von Armmuskulaturtraining an einem pedalbetriebenen Sportgerät geeignet ist. Dieses Ziel wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch erreicht, daß der Griff eine mit der Hand zur Gänze umfaßbare Griffstange aufweist, deren Achse im wesentlichen parallel zum oberen Verlauf des Gurtes liegt und die über eine Halterung mit Abstand zum Gurt an diesem befestigt ist.The present invention has for its object to provide a device of the type mentioned, which is suitable for any type of arm muscle training on a pedal-powered sports equipment. This object is achieved according to the invention in that the handle has a hand grip completely encompassable handle rod whose axis is substantially parallel to the upper course of the belt and which is attached via a bracket at a distance from the belt to this.

Bei der Konstruktion der Erfindung kann der Griff sowohl mit "Obergriff", d.h. von oben, als auch mit "Untergriff", d.h. von unten (Handfläche weist nach oben), ergriffen werden, sodaß in gleicher Weise sowohl ein Armstrecktraining als auch ein Armzugtraining durchgeführt werden kann. Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung stellt - z.B. in Verbindung mit einem Fahrrad-Heimtrainer und entsprechenden Schuhverankerungen an den Pedalen - eine vollwertige Curling-Maschine zum Bizeps- und Trizepstraining dar.In the construction of the invention, the handle can be grasped both with "upper grip", ie from above, and with "lower grip", ie from below (palm faces upwards), so that In the same way, both arm stretching training and Armzugtraining can be performed. The device according to the invention provides - for example in conjunction with a bicycle exercise bike and corresponding shoe anchors on the pedals - a full-fledged curling machine for biceps and triceps training.

Weitere Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen und der nachstehenden Beschreibung einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform, welche auf die begleitenden Zeichnungen Bezug nimmt.Further features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the subclaims and the following description of a preferred embodiment, which refers to the accompanying drawings.

In den Zeichnungen zeigt Fig. 1 die Vorrichtung der Erfindung in einer Stirnansicht, Fig. 2 in einer Seitenansicht und Fig. 3 in einer Draufsicht.In the drawings Fig. 1 shows the device of the invention in an end view, Fig. 2 in a side view and Fig. 3 in a plan view.

Die in den Fig. 1 bis 3 gezeigte Vorrichtung umfaßt eine Griffstange 1, deren Achse 2 in der Verwendungsstellung im wesentlichen horizontal liegt. Die Griffstange 1 ist an ihren Enden in einer Gabel 3 drehbar gelagert, welche über einen Sockel 4 an einer flächigen Oberschenkelauflage 5 befestigt ist. Alternativ könnte die Griffstange 1 auch drehfest an der durch die Elemente 3, 4 gebildeten Halterung montiert sein.The device shown in Figs. 1 to 3 comprises a handle bar 1, the axis 2 is in the use position substantially horizontally. The handle bar 1 is rotatably mounted at its ends in a fork 3, which is fastened via a base 4 to a flat thigh support 5. Alternatively, the handle bar 1 could also be non-rotatably mounted on the holder formed by the elements 3, 4.

Die Oberschenkelauflage 5 ist Teil eines um den Oberschenkel anlegbaren Gurtes 6, 7, der mit Hilfe eines Verschlußringes 6 und eines Klettverschlusses (siehe bei 7 in Fig. 1) lösbar und verstellbar ist.The thigh support 5 is part of a belt 6, 7 which can be applied around the thigh and which can be released and adjusted with the aid of a locking ring 6 and a hook-and-loop fastener (see at 7 in FIG. 1).

Zur Verwendung wird bevorzugt jeweils eine Vorrichtung an einem Oberschenkel, und zwar im unteren Bereich in der Nähe des Knies, befestigt und der Benutzer setzt sich damit auf ein pedalbetriebenes Sportgerät, z.B. ein Fahrrad, einen Fahrrad-Heimtrainer, ein Tretboot usw. Die Griffstangen 1 der beiden Vorrichtungen werden jeweils mit einer Hand ergriffen (bei einem Straßenfahrrad selbstverständlich nur abwechselnd mit einer Hand möglich, da die andere Hand am Lenker bleiben muß; bei einem Heimtrainer können beide Griffstangen 1 gleichzeitig ergriffen werden), um die Beinmuskulatur bei der Pedaldrehung zu unterstützen.For use, a device is preferably attached to a thigh, in the lower area near the knee, and the user sits down on a pedal-operated sports equipment, such as a bicycle, a bicycle exercise bike, a pedal boat, etc. The handle bars 1 of the two devices are in each case taken with one hand (in a road bike of course only alternately with one hand possible, since the other hand must remain on the handlebars, in a exercise bike both handlebars 1 can be taken simultaneously) to support the leg muscles in the pedal rotation ,

Aufgrund des Abstandes der Griffstange 1 zum Sockel 4 können die Griffstangen 1 sowohl von oben als auch von unten her ergriffen werden, sodaß sowohl eine Zug- als auch eine Druckbewegung ausgeübt werden kann.Due to the distance of the handle bar 1 to the base 4, the handle bars 1 can be taken both from above and from below, so that both a tensile and a pressure movement can be exercised.
