Abstract

The invention relates to a gymnastics or physical exercise device (10) with at least one vertical bar (12) with transverse bores (20) and at least one holder (16; 96) for fastening at least one exercise element (14, 78, 88) to the bar. The holder comprises a holding part (40; 98) with two parallel legs (48; 100) and two bolts (44). At least two pairs of aligned hook openings (50; 106; 124) are cut out in the legs of the holding part. The upper hook opening of each leg runs obliquely upwards towards its rounded inner end (56; 108). After attaching the bracket to the rod, the holding part is hooked on the upper of the two bolts which extends through the upper pair of hook openings and is secured with the lower bolt which extends through a transverse bore of the rod and the lower pair located below extends from hook openings. The lower hook opening of each leg runs obliquely downwards towards its rounded inner end.

Description

The invention relates to a gymnastic or physical exercise device according to the preamble of claim 1 with at least one vertical, provided with transverse bores rod and brackets for releasably and vertically adjustable attachment of different exercise elements on the rod, the brackets having a generally U-shaped in cross section holding part with two parallel Including thighs. The invention further relates to a method for releasable and height-adjustable attachment of such a holder on the rod.

Classic gymnastic or physical exercise equipment is usually designed for a single training goal or a few training goals. To achieve further training goals, additional gymnastics or physical exercise equipment is needed, which usually take up a lot of space.

One way, on the one hand to reduce the space required and still on the other hand to perform a variety of gymnastics or physical exercises, is on one or more vertical bars optionally different exercise elements detachably and thus replaceable attach, such as horizontal bars for pull-ups, vertical bars for isometric exercises or frame structures that are suitable for positioning near the lower end of the bar for support in push-ups or positioning near the top of the bar for pull-ups and can also be used as a bench. When these poles are attached to or near a vertical wall surface, they require very little space and can be equipped, if necessary, with different exercise equipment, depending on which gymnastic or physical exercise is to be performed.
In the prior art, a variety of gymnastic or physical exercise equipment is already known in which exercise elements by means of brackets height adjustable to be attached to one or more vertical bars. The example discloses US 4286782 A an exercise device whose vertical bars are provided with transverse bores. On the rods, slidable brackets are secured with bolts which are inserted through the transverse bores of the rod and through aligned transverse bores of the bracket. The brackets have there a hollow rectangular cross-section. This is disadvantageous when the bars are attached to a wall, because in this case the brackets can not be moved past the attachment points up or down, which limits the height adjustment.

From the US 6270448 B1 and the US 2010/0048368 A1 gymnastic or physical exercise equipment are already known, the holders comprise a cross-sectionally generally U-shaped holding part with two parallel legs, so that the brackets need not be pushed onto the rods from above or from below. As with the exercise device from the US 4286782 A The brackets are each secured with bolts that are inserted through aligned transverse holes in the legs and in the rod. A disadvantage of this known exercise equipment is that the height adjustment of a heavier exercise device, the exercise device must be held with one hand and pulled out with the other hand, the bolt from the cross holes to then lower the exercise device or lift until the bolt in the next lower or next higher cross-hole of the rod can be introduced. This requires a lot of strength and skill, because the cross holes from the front are not or only poorly visible. In the case of a height-adjustable attached to two rods exercise element height adjustment by a single person is not possible or only with great difficulty.

To facilitate the height adjustment of exercise elements or their brackets it is from the US 2015/0352395 A1 in an exercise device already known to provide vertical rods instead of the transverse bores with hook-shaped recesses, while the holders of the exercise elements have U-shaped holding parts, whose legs by two in the vertical distance mutually arranged bolts are interconnected. The bolts are suspended in two adjacent hook-shaped recesses of the rods. In order to prevent unwanted upward movement of the bolts in the recesses and thereby causing release of the brackets from the rod, the brackets have pivotable securing brackets, which are pivoted into adjacent recesses of the rod. However, these catches do not prevent the cradles from moving upwards a few millimeters along the bar. This game is perceived by users as unpleasant.

The DE 8815268 U1 already discloses a gymnastic or physical training device of the type mentioned with a stretch rod as a training element, but in the undesirable manner, the angle rails after their attachment to the rod dug up and so accidents can be caused. In addition, such brackets can be attached only in one orientation on the rod and not turned around.

Proceeding from this, the present invention seeks to improve a gymnastic or physical training device or fastening method of the type mentioned in that a lifting of the exercise element is reliably prevented upwards and a reversal of the brackets is possible, but still heavier exercise elements without help effortlessly adjusted in height and free of movement in the desired position can be fixed. Further, the brackets and the exercise elements can be completely suspended to make optimal use of exercise rooms or to utilize the brackets and exercise elements at various locations (e.g., indoors and outdoors) via a plurality of vertical, cross-drilled bars.

To solve this problem is proposed according to the characterizing part of claim 1 that the lower hook opening of each leg extends obliquely down to a rounded inner end.

After attachment of the bracket to the rod, the retaining member is hinged to one of the two bolts which extends through one of the transverse bores of the rod and the upper pair of hook holes and secured to the other bolt extending through a deeper transverse bore of the rod and the lower pair of hook openings extends.

With the features according to the invention, the height of a training element can be easily adjusted by a single user without help by first pulled out of the holder of the exercise element of the lower bolt, extending through the lower transverse bore of the rod and aligned with this transverse bore hook openings extends and serves to secure the holder. This bolt is guided at the desired new position further up or down through a transverse bore of the rod. As a result, the bolts usually change in their function for positioning and securing. Thereafter, the exercise element can be removed or suspended by unhooking the holder with the upper pair of hook openings from the upper pin. After the holder of the exercise element has been hung with the upper pair of hook holes on the newly positioned pin, the now free, formerly upper pin is pulled out of the former upper transverse bore of the rod and inserted for securing through the lower pair of hook holes. In this state, the holder including the exercise element is immovably fixed to the rod. If the exercise element is to be adjusted in height so that the holder obscures the desired transverse bores in the vertical bar prior to removal, it may be necessary to first hold or remove the exercise element after removal to gain access to the desired transverse bores of the bar To provide.

The bolts are conveniently cylindrical bolts, while the transverse bores of the rod as well as the through holes and the inner ends of both hook holes are rounded and bounded by generally semicircular edges.

In order to prevent the bolts from inadvertently slowly moving out of the transverse bores of the rod and the hook openings or through-holes of the support, the bolts are conveniently secured in the bores, e.g. by an extended headboard and a circlip at the other end.

In brackets that serve for releasably securing lighter exercise elements, the legs of the holding parts are expediently provided with only two pairs of hook openings, while the legs of the holding parts in brackets, which are used for releasably securing heavy training elements, expediently with two pairs of hook openings and a pair of through holes are provided between the hook openings. In the latter case, the lower bolt for securing the bracket can be selectively inserted either through the lower pair of hook holes or through the pair of through holes between the two pairs of hook holes. Both variants have the advantage that the holder in two orientations, i. rotated 180 degrees, can be attached to the pole.

The two pairs of aligned hook openings are preferably mirror-symmetrical to a horizontal plane located centrally between the two pairs of hook openings or extending in the holders with an additional pair of through openings through the central axis of the aligned through openings.

In order to make it possible to fix both types of brackets to the same bar, the pitch of adjacent transverse bores in the bar advantageously corresponds to half the center distance of the rounded inner ends of the two pairs of hook openings and the distance between the centers of the through openings and the rounded inner ones Ends of each of the two pairs of hook openings.

The number of discrete height positions measured from the ground, in which a training device can be arranged, can be doubled compared to the number of transverse bores of the rod, if according to a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the fastening part relative to the horizontal center plane of the holder between the two hook openings or if necessary the horizontal plane is upwardly or downwardly offset by the centers of the aligned passageways, or when the exercise device projects vertically upwards or downwards over the support. In the former case, the offset is larger or smaller than the center distance of the rounded inner ends of the upper and lower hook openings and the round through holes from the centers of the rounded inner ends of the hook holes, respectively. For example, the fastener may be offset one-half or one-third of the center distance of the rounded inner ends of the upper and lower hook openings or the through openings upwardly or downwardly from the horizontal center plane of the holder. The term "horizontal" corresponds to the orientation after attachment of the bracket to the rod.

The rod used for fastening the brackets and the exercise elements preferably has a groove-shaped profile and consists of formed sheet metal, which allows an inexpensive production by punching and bending. If the rod forms part of a wall bars or still has to take on other tasks, but also rods can be used, which consist of an extruded hollow profile, which is advantageously designed as a square square tube. In this case, the cross holes are introduced by drilling in the bar.

In order to facilitate the passage of the bolts through the transverse bores of the rod, if this is designed as a hollow profile or as a trough-shaped profile, may be arranged in the interior of the profile of the rod expediently a solid elongated, provided with transverse bores body made of wood or other suitable material , whose transverse bores with the transverse bores of the Rod are aligned. In this way, the bolts are guided inside the rod through the transverse bores of the body and can not tilt.

In order to keep the play between the legs of the holding part and the rod as small as possible and thereby prevent lateral movements or pivotal movements of the exercise elements, the distance of the inner sides of the legs is expedient only slightly larger than the width of the rod. In order nevertheless to prevent a scratching of the rod when fastening the holder, the two legs of the holding part are expediently provided at least along part of their edges with an edge protection of a plastic or rubber material, which is useful on the outer sides of the legs and on the edges themselves is attached, eg by injection molding.

In order to make the production of the brackets as inexpensive as possible, the generally U-shaped holding parts are preferably made of stamped sheet metal, which is bent into the U-shape. In addition, can be punched in this way when punching in the yoke and / or in the legs openings that allow a reduction in the weight of the brackets without sacrificing stability and can serve as slings for bands, ropes and the like.

In order to keep the number of required brackets small and to use the brackets for several different exercise elements, the exercise elements on the one hand and the brackets on the other hand preferably also releasably connected to each other. For this purpose, the brackets suitably comprise a fastening part, which is rigidly connected to the holding part and projects beyond the holding part on the side of the yoke opposite to the legs. The fastening part advantageously has a square tube connected rigidly to the yoke with a square cross-section, whose open end or its open ends serve to receive a square tube with smaller cross-sectional dimensions, which is firmly connected to the exercise element and projects beyond it.

In brackets for attachment of lighter exercise elements of the fastening part is advantageously a straight square tube, which projects horizontally beyond the side facing away from the rod side of the yoke, wherein it is aligned perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the rod and parallel to the legs and welded to a front end of the yoke.

In brackets for attachment of heavier exercise elements, however, the fastening part advantageously consists of a horizontally oriented, in plan view generally U-shaped square tube whose yoke is rigidly secured to the holding part of the holder and whose legs are aligned parallel to each other and to the two legs of the holding part. The yoke of this fastening part is advantageously not only welded to the holding part, but also also supported on the yoke and the legs of the holding part, which are advantageously provided for this purpose with a recess for receiving the square tube. The recess is advantageously limited to the rod and down by orthogonal edges against which rests the square tube.

According to a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the gymnastic or physical exercise device comprises at least one vertically provided with cross-drilled rod and at least one releasably and height adjustable attachable to the rod exercise element, which consists of a frame construction and a releasably mounted on the frame construction balance board, wherein a level top of the balance board after mounting on the frame construction a seat or support surface and after removal of the frame construction forms a base for balance exercises. In this way, both the balance board and frame construction can be used independently for body or gym exercises, the former for balance exercises and the latter for example for pull-ups when attached near the top of the bar or for push-ups when it is placed on the ground or attached to the pole near the bottom end.

The balance board advantageously has two parallel webs projecting above its underside with curved bottom edges which, when using the balance board, roll on the floor for balancing exercises and are advantageously provided at the same time with means for detachable attachment to the frame construction.

The frame construction advantageously has a generally cuboid outline and can be suitably fastened in different orientations on the rod, advantageously with the aid of the holders described above. Depending on the purpose of the frame construction, the balance board can either be mounted on the frame construction if its flat top is to serve as a seat or bearing surface of a bench which can either be attached to the pole or used independently of the pole, or can be of the frame structure should be removed, for example, when the latter is to be fastened for pull-ups or similar exercises near the upper end of the bar.

The gymnastic or physical exercise device according to the invention makes it possible already in its basic form with a single rod and a single exercise element or with only a few exercise elements that any person regardless of personal performance, age, gender or any disease symptoms complete a full training, its priorities force, coordination, stamina, mobilization / mobility / stability of joints, mobilization / suppleness / agility of muscles, optimization of fascial tissue structures, or neuronal / muscular interconnection / interaction may be used, or in combination.

It thus serves globally to improve general physical ability from a sporting, rehabilitative or preventive point of view. Each of these areas can be trained in a variety of ways, as a training weight primarily their own body is used and are attached to the bar serving for this purpose exercise elements. In addition, on the pole, however Also other exercise elements or attachments are attached, which serve individual, specialized aspects, such as a cable pulling apparatus.

In the exercise or exercise device according to the invention, the necessary increase in the training pulses is achieved in that almost any start and end position can be taken, e.g. by changing the working height of the respective exercise elements or attachments, their location, orientation and combination, as well as a change in the position of the body instead of by increasing masses, stronger springs or the like. With supportive (e.g., ligaments) or destabilizing (e.g., balance board) exercise elements or attachments, the intensity level can be further varied.

In the Fig. 1 illustrated basic version of a gymnastic or physical exercise device 10 consists essentially of a vertical, provided with transverse holes 20 rod 12, a single attached to the rod 12 exercise element 14 in two different positions and orientations, and a holder 16 for releasable and height-adjustable attachment of the exercise element 14th on the pole 12.

How best in Fig. 3 shown, the rod 12 is made by stamping and forming of sheet steel and consists of a trough-shaped, in cross-section generally U-shaped profile 18, whose parallel legs are provided with aligned round through holes, which are referred to as transverse bores 20. The transverse bores 20 at one end of the rod 12 optionally have smaller spacings than along the remainder of the rod 12.

For attachment of the rod 12 to a wall surface serve over the free edges of the legs projecting lugs 22, which are each provided with a screw hole. Through the screw holes screws for fixing the rod 12 are screwed into the vertical wall surface. The yoke facing away from the wall surface of the rod 12 is optionally provided with orienting numerals 24. The rod 12 can be fixed in different orientations on the wall surface, as in Fig. 1 shown. Also, a horizontal attachment or attachment to the ceiling of a room is possible and advantageous for special training elements.

How best in Fig. 4 the exercise element 14 of the basic version consists of a frame construction 28 welded from round tubes 26 with two spaced-apart bow-shaped or U-shaped side parts 30, which are connected by four parallel cross struts 32. For attachment to the holder 16 serve two short sections 34 of a square tube, which are aligned mirror-symmetrically and parallel to the transverse struts 32 to a median plane of the frame structure. The sections 34 are connected to the two adjacent cross braces 32 by two mutually perpendicular round tubes 36, 38, the ends of which are welded to the cross braces 32 and the sections 34.

The exercise element 14 may be attached to the bar 12 at any height and orientation as shown in FIG Fig. 1 depending on whether it is for example for pull-ups ( Fig. 1 left) or to support the hands in push-ups ( Fig. 1 right) should be used. If necessary, the exercise element 14 can also be removed from the rod 12 and parked on the ground, for example for supporting the legs in push-ups ( Fig. 4 ).

How best in Fig. 8 . 9 and 12 illustrated, the holder 16 consists of a serving for attachment to the rod 12 holding part 40, a rigidly connected to the holding part 40 fixing member 42 for releasably securing the exercise element 14, and two bolts 44th

How best in 10 and 11 4, the holding part 40 produced by stamping and forming from steel sheet has a generally U-shaped cross-section with a yoke 46 and two parallel legs 48 projecting beyond one side of the yoke 46, which are mirror-symmetrical to a longitudinal center plane of the holding part 40. In each of the two legs 48, two hook openings 50 and a circular passage opening 52 arranged in the middle between the two hook openings 50 are recessed. The two hook openings 50 of each pair and the two through openings 52 in the two legs 48 are aligned with each other or are mirror-symmetrical to the longitudinal center plane. The two hook openings 50 of each leg 48 are symmetrical to a horizontal plane E (FIG. Fig. 11 ), which extends through the center of the circular passage opening 52 and is orthogonal to the longitudinal center plane of the holding part 40 and to two front edge portions 54 of the legs 48 which are vertically aligned after attachment of the holder 16 to the rod 12. Each hook opening 50 is open to the adjacent edge portion 54 with the upper hook opening 50 of each leg 48 sloping obliquely upward toward its rounded inner end 56, while the lower hook opening 50 of each leg 48 slopes downwardly toward its rounded inner end 56 is inclined. The center distance of the rounded inner ends 56 of the two hook openings 50 of each leg 48 is twice the distance of adjacent transverse bores 20 of the bar 12 or an integral multiple thereof, eg near one end of the bar where the spacing of the transverse bores 20 is smaller is. The distance of the center of the rounded inner end 56 of the upper and lower hook openings 50 of each leg 48 from the center of the intermediate through-hole 52 therebetween corresponds to the spacing of the adjacent transverse bores 20 of the bar 12.

How best in Fig. 8 and 9 shown, the two legs 48 of the holding part 40 along a part of their edges with a glued or molded edge protection 58 made of plastic. In particular, the edge protector 58 on the straight edge portion 54 between the two hook openings 50 and at two edge portions 60, 62 are provided above the upper hook opening 50 and below the lower hook opening 50, each defining a projecting in the direction of the wall surface slightly above the straight edge portion 54 hook-shaped projection 64, on the rounded upper or lower corner, the edge protection 58 extends.

To reduce weight, the legs 48 and the yoke 46 further punched through holes 66. After attachment to the rod 12, the yoke 46 is inclined at an acute angle to the vertical, so that at one end of the support member 40 in the yoke 46 and the legs 48 space for a recess 68 can be created, the edges 70 two mutually perpendicular Form contact surfaces for the fastening part 42.

How best in Fig. 8 shown, the fastening part 42 is composed of five sections of a square tube, the adjacent ends are welded. In plan view, the fastening part 42 has the shape of a bracket or U, the forward open end portions 72 are aligned parallel to each other and the middle part 74 passes through the recess 68 of the holding part 40 and is welded to the edges 70.

The distance between the central axes of the two forwardly open end portions 72 corresponds to the distance of the central axes of the sections 34 of the exercise element 14, whose cross sections are dimensioned so that they introduce with little play from the front into the open ends of the end portions 72 and by means of rotational clamping rings 76 and secure it in place.

The attachment of the bracket 16 to the rod 12 is done by means of the two bolts 44 by first one of the two bolts 44 is inserted at the desired location from one side through one of the transverse bores 20 of the rod 12, as in Fig. 12a is shown by then the holding part 40 is mounted at obliquely upwardly facing fastening part 42 with the upper pair of hook holes 50 on this bolt 44, as in Fig. 12b represented by then the Fastener 42 is pivoted downward until the lower end of the yoke 46 abuts against the remote from the wall surface front of the rod 12 in the horizontal orientation of the fixing member 42, as in Fig. 12c and, finally, by inserting and securing the second bolt 44 through the pair of circular through holes 52 of the legs 48 and the cross hole 20 of the rod 12 aligned with the through holes 52 as shown in FIG Fig. 12d shown. After attachment of the bracket 16 to the rod 12 thus the holding part 40 is mounted on the upper bolt 44 which extends through the upper transverse bore 20 of the rod 12 and the upper pair of hook holes 50, and is secured to the lower bolt 44, the extends through an underlying transverse bore 20 of the rod 12 and the pair of aligned passage openings 52. As a result, the holder 16 is immovably fixed to the rod 12 with the exercise element 14. The serving as a backup lower bolt 44 may alternatively be inserted through the rounded inner ends of the lower hook openings 50 and aligned with these transverse bore 20 of the rod 12 therethrough.

The bolts 44 have an extended head part and each contain an integrated axial lock, which prevents unintentional release of the bolt 44.

Fig. 2 shows the gym or exercise device 14 from Fig. 1 in conjunction with another exercise member in the form of a balance board 78, which may be selectively attached to or detached from the frame structure 28 so that it may be attached to the rod 12 (12) as needed along with the first exercise element 14 (Figs. Fig. 2 ) or on the ground ( FIGS. 5 to 7 ) or separately from the first exercise element 14 for balance exercises ( Fig. 23 and 25 ) can be used.

How best in the FIGS. 5, 6 . 7 . 23 and 25 illustrated, the balance board 78 consists of a rectangular board 80 with a flat top and two parallel to the front sides of the board 80, down over the flat bottom of the board 80 protruding ridges 82, the downwardly facing edges 84 are curved, so that them when using the Balance Board 78 for Balancing exercises can roll on the floor, while the top of the board 80 serves as a stand. On the webs 82 fasteners are mounted, with the aid of the balance board 78 can be immovably fixed to the frame structure 28, so that the top of the board 80 can be used as a seat or support surface when the frame structure 28 with the balance board 78 at the rod 12 attached ( Fig. 3 ) or removed from it ( Fig. 7 ).

The rod 12 in the FIGS. 13 to 15 differs from the previously described rod 12 in that in the trough-shaped profile of the rod 12, an elongated body 86 is inserted from wood. At the locations where the rod 12 is provided with the transverse bores 20, the body 86 is also provided with transverse bores which are aligned with the transverse bores 20 of the rod 12, which facilitates the passage of the bolts 44 through the transverse bores 20. Further, it differs from the previously described bar 12 in that the projections 22 projecting beyond the free marginal edges of the legs enclose an angle of 90 degrees with each other, so that the bar 12 is at a corner instead of a flat surface, such as a wall surface. can be attached.

The FIGS. 16 and 17 show another exercise element 88, which can be detachably attached to the rod 12 instead of the exercise element 14, the exercise elements 14 and 78 or in addition to the exercise element 14 and the exercise elements 14 and 78, respectively. The exercise element 88 has a square outline with rounded corners and consists of a closed ring 90 of sections of a tubular round tube whose aligned ends are welded together. A portion of the round tube extends through a transverse bore 92 in a short section 94 of a square tube, which serves to secure the exercise element 88 to a support as previously described for section 34, and is welded to section 94 within the transverse bore 92.

The optional holder 16 for attachment of the exercise element 88 on the rod 12 serving bracket 96 is in the FIGS. 18 to 21 shown. The holder 96 also has a cross-sectionally U-shaped holding part 98 with two legs 100 and a yoke 102, and a rigidly connected to the holding part 98 fastening part 104th

Unlike the bracket 16 in the FIGS. 8 to 12 the two legs 100 projecting beyond the yoke 102 are provided with only two hook openings 106. The hook openings 106 are symmetrical about a horizontal median plane E between the rounded inner ends 108 of the hook openings 106, of which the upper slopes obliquely upward toward its end 108 and the lower reaches obliquely downwardly towards its end 108. A round passage opening between the hook openings 106 is not provided here. The center distance of the rounded inner ends 108 of the two hook openings 106 corresponds to the center distance of the transverse bores 20 of the rod 12th
