It is a training device with a support (1), weight receptacles (2) and two in a transverse direction to the support (1) extending and each a handle part (4) having handle lugs (3) described. To design a training device of the type described above so that the risk of injury is avoided, without causing an increase in design effort, it is proposed that on the support (1) opposite side of the handle lugs (3) weight receptacles (2) are provided on whose side facing away from the carrier (1) a handle (8) is rotatably mounted about the longitudinal axis of the handle lugs (3).

Description

The invention relates to a training device with a carrier, Gewichtsauf and two in a transverse direction to the carrier extending and each having a handle portion having grip approaches.

There are already training devices, in particular barbell rods, known which have two transversely extending to a support extensions. The extensions are shoulder pads for support (US4274628A). The disadvantage of this, however, is that the barbell must be taken in the upper grip, resulting in an unnatural, pronierten hand and forearm position, in which the wrists are heavily stressed. In addition, there is an increased risk of falling and injury, since the user can be brought out of balance even at small focal displacements of the device, as due to the PRE-specified position of shoulder girdle, hands and weights along the same line of effect we are no effective Tarierbewegungen possible.

Embodiments are also known from the prior art, in which the extensions running transversely to a carrier are designed as grip parts (US Pat. No. 4,863,158). But even here, this is associated with the disadvantage of being unable to make rapid and joint-sparing positional displacement of the arms. Together with the arrangement of the weights on prolonged in the longitudinal direction of the carrier extensions and according to the above, this also contributes to an increased risk of injury. In addition, the displaceable on the support guide elements by which the handle parts can be moored at the desired distance from each other on the support, due to design exposed to high Momen tenbelastung. Since the frictional connection between the guide elements and the carrier can be released jerkily, there is also a danger of injury to the user here.

The invention is therefore based on the object, a training device of the type described above in such a way that the risk of injury is avoided, without causing an increase in the design effort is accompanied.

The invention achieves this object by providing weight receptacles on the side of the gripping lugs opposite the carrier, on whose side facing away from the carrier a handle is rotatably mounted about the longitudinal axis of the gripping lugs.

So that the training device can be balanced well by the user, so as not to lose balance with small center of gravity displacements of the device, hands, weights and carriers should, if possible, not be in the same line of action, namely the longitudinal axis of the carrier. For this purpose, hands and weights are spaced from the user's body in a transverse direction to the wearer, because the two handles attach transversely to the wearer. In example, the exercise device according to the invention can be configured U-shaped, wherein the two handle lugs form the carrier as the base leg transversely projecting U-legs. Due to the fact that weight receptacles are formed on the opposite side of the handle grips, the focus of

Subject of the invention shifted in the direction of the hands and is at egg ner usual application of the training device in a plane between the body and hands of the user. As a result, tare movements can be carried out effectively and without much effort, thereby avoiding the risk of injury due to a loss of balance at small center of gravity displacements. In order to avoid damaging lateral force on the wrists with larger center of gravity displacements, hands, wrists and forearms must be able to be positioned quickly and at any time along the same load path. In addition, the respective center of gravity of the weights should coincide spatially with the arrangement of the handle parts or at least be in the immediate vicinity of it. For this reason, it is provided according to the invention, the handles rotatably mounted on the weight receptacles, namely rotatable about the handle parts. Thus, forces can be absorbed by the user in the best possible way, even or especially when the hands are at a different height relative to each other. Moreover, the inventive design allows not only that the exerciser can optionally be lifted off the shoulder girdle and held in an overhead position, but that the user can tilt the handle approaches and thus the weights also like a lever, the carrier located on the shoulder belt as a kind of rotation axis is used. As a result, for example, a shoulder pressing carried out with the subject invention can still have additional intensity levels, without having to exchange weights. In addition, it is also relatively easy, for example, in leg exercises to adjust the strength of the isometric contraction of breast, shoulder and arm muscles almost infinitely or quite generally to perform a number of different forms of exercise such as composite arm / leg exercises or arm / stomach exercises , Due to the arrangement of the weights at a distance from the carrier, wherein the two handle lugs connect the weights with the carrier, there is also the advantage that sometimes serious injury can be avoided in an accidental dropping of the training device, because by the inventive structural design between the on a base for resting coming weights and the carrier a greater distance, namely according to the length of the handle lugs, remains. This length is therefore preferably chosen so that it at least corresponds to the height of the chest of the user lying down, so that bruises can be prevented as described above. in the

In contrast, this corresponds to the usual weight bars this distance the

Radius of the weights used.

In order to reduce the risk of further injury to neighboring persons as well as possible and to avoid possible damage to floors, shelves or walls by the subject of the invention, the transitional area between the support and the handle extensions is rounded off and thus free of sharp corners.

In order to enable a good power transmission between the weight receptions or the Ge weights and the handles and thus on the one hand to allow a long life of the training device and on the other hand easily replace wearing parts, the invention proposes that the handle lugs, weight receptacles and handle parts integrally formed and the Handles are each removably attached to the handle parts. The handles hold the weight discs thus firmly fixed to the inventively provided weight recordings to avoid slipping of the discs and thus center of gravity displacements. If necessary, the handles can be removed quickly to remove or add weight plates. In addition, removable handles bring with them the further advantage of being able to be exchanged themselves, as a result of which the training device can be adapted to the respective purpose of the exercise by means of various forms of grip.

If you want, as already mentioned above, even with larger focal displacements avoid a damaging effect of lateral force on the wrists, the

Emphasis of the weights with the arrangement of the respective handle parts spatially to fall or at least in the immediate vicinity are. This can be achieved in that the handle parts each have a removable closure on their side facing away from the carrier, because thereby a separate fi xation of the weights and / or the handles can be omitted and they can thus be arranged spatially closer to each other. In a preferred embodiment form, the center of gravity of the weights is even within the respective

Palms when weights can also be inserted into the handle extensions. This can be done alternatively or in addition to the outside of the weight recordings mounted weights, which according to the invention is also conceivable in principle that the weight receptacles are designed for over the handle parts internally insertable weights.

The training device should be optimally adapted depending on the shoulder width of the user, without having to use the carrier slidable guide elements of the handle parts in order to avoid the existing risk of injury to ver. In addition, it is desirable to be able to make such a size adjustment easily and without great expenditure of time, whereby no constructive overhead should arise. For this reason, the wearer of the training device according to the invention can have two telescoping elements which can be displaced into one another and which can be fixed to one another in pre-given positions. Due to these measures, the training device can be easily adapted to the shoulder width of the user, but also the exercise purpose by the length of the carrier and consequently the spacing of the handle approaches to each other can be varied. In addition, there is no risk of injury according jerk-solving guide elements.

In the drawing, the subject invention is illustrated, for example, in a plan view of an embodiment of the exercise device according to the invention.

A training device according to the invention has a carrier 1, and Gewichtsauf took 2 and two in a transverse direction to the carrier 1 extending handle lugs 3, which in turn each have a handle part 4. The weight receptacles 2 are provided on the side opposite the carrier 1 side of the handle lugs 3, wherein on the side facing away from the carrier 1 each a handle 8 is rotatably mounted about the longitudinal axis of the handle lugs 3. In a typical application of the exercise device according to the invention, the handles 8 are enclosed by the user's hands and the carrier 1 supported on neck and shoulder girdle of the user, so that the handle lugs 3 and the handle parts 4 point in the direction of the user. As a result, the gripping parts 4 and handles 8 and thus also the hands of the user are further spaced from the body or from the carrier 1 than the weight receptacles 2 together with their weight discs 5. The carrier 1 can be surrounded by a pad 6 to the neck vertebrae of the user conserve. In addition, the material strength and the thickness of the pad 6 can be chosen so that it can also be used advantageously as a spacer, for example, if the training device is stored without weight discs 5 on the ground to perform appropriate exercises. The user can therefore the

Grasp the carrier 1 in each case in an area next to the pad 6 with your hands and perform push-ups.

Characterized in that the two handle lugs 3 with the carrier 1 each have a right

Forming angle and the transition region 7 between the carrier 1 and the Griffansät zen 3 is rounded in each case, there is a U-shaped configuration of the inventions to the invention training device, which is free of sharp corners. That puts that

Exercise device is no danger with regard to injury of persons standing next to or damage to walls and inventory.

The handle lugs 3, 2 weight and grip parts 4 are each formed in one piece. In order to quickly and easily change and fix the weight discs 5, the handles 8 are each removably attached to the handle parts 4. So if necessary, the handles 8 can be easily replaced as such.

In addition, there is the possibility of weight on a removable Ver circuit 9 of the handle parts 4 at the side facing away from the carrier 1 in the Griffan sentences 3 insert.

In order to be able to optimally adapt the exercise device according to the invention to the requirements as well as the shoulder width of the user, the carrier 1 is designed such that it has two telescoping elements 10 which are slidable into one another and which can be fixed to one another in predetermined positions. As a result, the length of the carrier 1 and consequently the spacing of the handle extensions 3 from one another can be varied. The determination of the telescopic elements 10 in predetermined positions can take place via a spring pin 11 which engages in recesses 12 of the telescopic elements 10 provided for this purpose.
