Description
WO 2010/071403 PCT/NL2008/000280 Title: Training device for training a body part of a user This invention relates to a training device for training a body part of a user. The training 5 device comprises a vibrating device for generating a vibration and a pretensioning device for generating a pre-tension in a muscle of the body part. The pretensioning device is connected to the vibrating device. The pretensioning device comprises a handling member configured to be held by the user, a reeling means for reeling a flexible coupling member, which coupling member couples the handling member to the reeling means, and a tensioning means for 10 driving the reeling means such that in use the coupling member is tensioned for transferring the vibration generated by the vibrating device to the handling member. In the training device known from the prior art the tensioning device comprises a spring to drive the reeling means. In use said spring constantly drives the reeling means for reeling the coupling member. Due to this, the reeling means in use constantly exert a reeling force 15 on the flexible coupling member. As a result of this, a resistance against the unreeling of the coupling member is provided, the flexible coupling member is tensioned such that the vibration generated by the vibrating device is transferred to the handling member, and an unreeled coupling member is reeled by the reeling means. With other words, when a user pulls the handling member to unreel the coupling 20 member, said spring provides via the reeling means a resistance against the unreeling of the coupling member. Due to said resistance, the coupling member is tensioned so that the vibration generated by the vibrating device is transferred via the flexible coupling member to the handling member. The by the spring driven reeling means constantly provides a reeling force for reeling the coupling member. This means that when the handling member is kept in 25 such a position that the coupling member is unreeled of a specific length, the coupling member remains tensioned for transferring the vibrations from the vibrating device to the handling device. The spring further ensures that the reeling means reel an unreeled coupling member. As said before, in use the by the spring driven reeling means constantly exert a reeling 30 force on the coupling member. Said coupling member is tensioned as long as the user exerts an opposite user force on the coupling member. The reeling force is the resistance which the user experiences when he or she unreels the coupling member. For specific exercises a high resistance against the unreeling of coupling member is required. In the known training device this leads to a large reeling force. This has several 35 disadvantages. A large reeling force leads to an unsafe situation when the user, for one reason or another, lets loose of the handling member of an unreeled coupling member. Due to the 1 WO 2010/071403 PCT/NL2008/000280 large reeling force, the flexible coupling member will be rapidly reeled by the reeling means. This causes an uncontrolled sweeping movement of the coupling member and the thereto attached handling member. There is a high risk that said uncontrolled movement of the coupling member and the handling member causes injuries to the user of the training device 5 or other persons located near the training device. Some specific exercises require a large resistance against the unreeling of the coupling member and a smaller force pulling on the handling member of an unreeled coupling member. A specific type is these exercises are the ones in which the user performs a large effort to move the trained body part into a specific position (wherein the coupling member is 10 unreeled) and a smaller effort to hold said body part in said position (wherein the coupling member remains unreeled over a specific length). An example of such an exercise is the one wherein the user holds the handling member in a hand and said hand is moved upwards to a position above the head of the user, after which the hand is kept in said position. The magnitude of the reeling force is equal to the magnitude of the above mentioned force pulling 15 on the handling member of an unreeled coupling member. Due to the fact that in the known training device said reeling force is equal to the resistance against the unreeling of the coupling member, these specific exercises can not be performed with the known training device. A further disadvantage of the known training device is that the resistance against the 20 unreeling of the coupling member is the same for different speeds by which the coupling member is unreeled. With other words, in the known training device said resistance is independent of the speed by which the coupling member is unreeled. It is an object of the invention to provide an improved training device. Said object is reached by a training device for training a body part of a user, comprising a vibrating device 25 for generating a vibration, a pretensioning device for generating a pre-tension in a muscle of the body part, wherein said pretensioning device is connected to the vibrating device and comprises a handling member configured to be held by the user, a reeling means for reeling a flexible coupling member, which coupling member couples the handling member to the reeling means, and a tensioning means for driving the reeling means such that in use the 30 coupling member is tensioned for transferring the vibration generated by the vibrating device to the handling member, wherein the tensioning means comprises a fluid resistance means configured to provide a resistance against the unreeling of the coupling member. In an embodiment of the training device according the invention, the fluid resistance means are configured to substantially provide no resistance against the reeling of the 35 coupling member. In an embodiment of the training device according the invention, the reeling means comprises a reel which is rotatable around a reel axis, the reeling means are configured to rotate the reel in a reel direction for reeling the coupling member and to rotate the reel in an 2 WO 2010/071403 PCT/NL2008/000280 unreel direction for unreeling the coupling member, and the fluid resistance means is connected to said reel axis via freewheel means configured to freely rotate around the reel axis in the reel direction and to engage the reel axis in the unreel direction. In a further embodiment of the training device according the invention, the fluid 5 resistance means comprises a fluid casing forming a fluid chamber filled with a damper fluid and a resistance member located inside the fluid chamber, the fluid casing is connected to the reel axis via the freewheel means and the resistance member is configured such that said resistance member is not rotatable around the longitudinal axis. In an embodiment of the training device according the invention, the fluid resistance 10 means is configured to adjust the resistance against the unreeling of -the coupling member by moving the resistance member inside the fluid chamber and substantially in the direction of the longitudinal axis. The pretensioning device may comprise adjusting means for moving and holding the resistance member in a number of specific locations along the longitudinal axis. 15 In a further embodiment of the training device according the invention, the fluid resistance means is configured such that the magnitude of the resistance of the fluid resistance means against the unreeling of the coupling member is dependent of the speed by which the coupling member is unreeled. In a further embodiment of the training device according the invention, the reel is 20 configured to hold the coupling member in a spiral like configuration, which spiral like configuration is located in a fictive plane extending substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. In an embodiment of the training device according the invention, the tensioning means comprises a spring connected to the reel axis. 25 The invention relates to pretensioning device for use in a training device according to the invention. Said pretensioning device may comprise connection means for connecting the pretensioning device to the vibrating device such that in use a vibration generated by the vibrating device is transferred to the pretensioning device. The invention relates to a method of training a body part of a user with a training device 30 according to the invention. The invention relates to the use of a training device according to the invention. The invention further relates to the use of a pretensioning device according to the invention. Embodiments of training device , the pretensioning device and use thereof will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying figures, wherein: 35 Fig. 1 schematically shows a perspective view of an embodiment of the training device according the invention, Fig. 2 schematically shows the pretensioning device of fig. 1 in a view in cross section along line Il-Il, 3 WO 2010/071403 PCT/NL2008/000280 Fig. 3 schematically shows the pretensioning device of fig. 1 in a view in cross section along line Ill-Ill, and Fig. 4 schematically shows an exploded view of the pretensioning device in perspective. 5 All corresponding reference numbers relate to corresponding features. Figure 1 shows a training device 1 for training a body part of a user. Said training device comprises a vibrating device 2 and a pretensioning device 3 for generating a pre tension in a muscle of the body part. The pretensioning device 3 is connected to the vibrating device 2. The pretensioning device 3 comprises a handling member 4 configured to be held 10 by the user 32 and a reeling means (6 of fig. 2) for reeling a flexible coupling member 5. The coupling member 5 couples the handling member 4 to the reeling means 6. The pretensioning device 3 further comprises a tensioning means (7 of fig. 2) for driving the reeling means (6 of fig. 2) such that in use the coupling member 5 is tensioned for transferring a vibration generated by the vibrating device 2 to the handling member 4. The 15 tensioning means 7 comprises a fluid resistance means (8 of fig. 2) configured to provide a resistance against the unreeling of the coupling member 5. The vibrating device 2 comprises a vibrating plate 30 configured to vibrate as indicated by the arrow 31. In this situation the direction of the vibration of the vibrating plate 30 is substantially vertical. The vibration plate 30 may vibrate in any direction suitable for obtaining 20 the wished training effect. The In the shown situation, the user 32 of the training device stands on the vibrating plate 30. It will be clear that the vibrating device 2 may have in stead of the vibrating plate 30 any other type of vibrating member. The pretensioning device 3 is connected to the vibrating device 2 such that vibrations generated by the vibrating device 2 are transferred to the pretensioning device 3. 25 In use the tensioning means (7 of fig. 2) constantly drives the reeling means (6 of fig. 2) for reeling the coupling member 5. Due to this, the reeling means (6 of fig. 2) in use constantly exert a reeling force Fr on the flexible coupling member 5. As a result of this, a resistance against the unreeling of the coupling member 5 is provided, the flexible coupling member 5 is tensioned such that a vibration generated by the vibrating device 2 is 30 transferred to the handling member 4, and an unreeled coupling member 5 is reeled by the reeling means (6 of fig. 2). The fluid resistance means (8 of fig. 2) also provides a resistance against the unreeling of the coupling member 5. Said resistance is the fluid resistance force Ffr which the fluid resistance means (8 of fig. 2) exert on the coupling member 5 during the unreeling thereof. 35 The fluid resistance force Ffr is in addition to the reeling force Fr. In the shown situation, the user 32 exerts a user force Fu on the coupling member 5 via the handling member 4. The user force Fu is in the opposite direction of the reeling force Fr which is constantly exerted on the coupling member 5 by the reeling means (6 of fig. 2). When the user force Fu is smaller 4 WO 2010/071403 PCT/NL2008/000280 than or equal to the reeling force Fr, the pretensioning device 3 exerts a force equal to the reeling force Fr on the coupling member 5. It will be clear that when the user force F, equals the reeling force Fr, the coupling member 5 will be in a static position which means that the coupling member 5 will not be unreeled or reeled. When the user force F" is smaller than the 5 reeling force F, the coupling member will be reeled. In the situation that the user force F" is larger than the reeling force Fr, the coupling member will be unreeled. In said situation the pretensioning device 3 exerts a force equal to the sum of the reeling force and the fluid resistance force (Fr + Ffr) on the coupling member 5. With the use of the fluid resistance means (8 of fig. 2) a high resistance (Fr + Ffr) 10 against the unreeling of the coupling member 5 is achieved, in combination with a smaller reeling force (Fr) for reeling the coupling member 5. This means that situations in which the coupling member 5 and the thereto connected handling member 4 are reeled by the reeling means (6 of fig. 2) such that they make an unsafe sweeping movement are avoided. Furthermore, due to this the training device 1 is suitable for exercises which require a large 1.5 resistance (Fr + Ffr) against the unreeling of the coupling member 5 and a smaller force (Fr) pulling on the handling member 4 of an unreeled coupling member 5. The fluid resistance means (8 of fig. 2) is configured such that the magnitude of the resistance of the fluid resistance means (8 of fig. 2) against the unreeling of the coupling member 5 is dependent of the speed by which the coupling member 5 is unreeled. Unreeling 20 the coupling member 5 with a higher speed leads to a higher resistance of the fluid resistance means (8 of fig. 2). Unreeling the coupling member 5 with a lower speed leads to a lower resistance of the fluid resistance means (8 of fig. 2). The fluid resistance means (8 of fig. 2) is configured such that an increase of the speed by which the coupling member 5 is unreeled leads to an increase of the resistance of the fluid resistance means (8 of fig. 2). 25 Furthermore, the fluid resistance means (8 of fig. 2) is configured such that a decrease of the speed by which the coupling member 5 is unreeled leads to a decrease of the resistance of the fluid resistance means (8 of fig. 2) against the unreeling of the coupling member 5. Due to this, the training device 2 is suitable for exercises wherein the user 32 experiences a larger resistance when he or she rapidly unreels the coupling member 5 and a 30 smaller resistance when he or she slowly unreels the coupling member 5. This way, rapid (more "aggressive-like") movements by which the coupling member 5 is unreeled requires a larger effort than slower (less "aggressive-like") movements. This provides an additional dimension to the performed exercises. Figure 2 shows the pretensioning device of fig. 1 in a view in cross section along line Il 35 II. The fluid resistance means 8 are configured to substantially provide no resistance against the reeling of the coupling member 5. The reeling means 6 comprise a reel 10 which is rotatable around a reel axis 11. The reeling means 6 are configured to rotate the reel 10 in a reel direction 12 for reeling the coupling member 5 and to rotate the reel 10 in an unreel 5 WO 2010/071403 PCT/NL2008/000280 direction 13 for unreeling the coupling member 5. The fluid resistance means 8 is connected to said reel axis 11 via freewheel means 14 configured to freely rotate around the reel axis 11 in the reel direction 12 and to engage the reel axis 11 in the unreel direction 13. This also ensures that in use the coupling member 5 is not unreeled by the vibrations generated by the 5 vibration device. The reel axis 11 comprises a longitudinal axis 27. The tensioning means 7 comprise a spiral spring 28 connected to the reel axis 11. The fluid resistance means 8 comprises a fluid casing 16 forming a fluid chamber 15 filled with a damper fluid 17. A resistance member 18 is located inside the fluid chamber 15. 10 The fluid casing 16 is connected to the reel axis 11 via the freewheel means 12. The resistance member 18 is configured such that said resistance member 18 is not rotatable around the longitudinal axis 27. The pretensioning device 3 device comprises a pretensioning casing 29 and the resistance member 18 is connected to said pretensioning casing 29 such that said resistance member 18 is not rotatable around the longitudinal axis 15 27. The resistance member 18 may also in use be connected to the vibrating device (2 of fig. 1) such that said resistance member 18 is not rotatable around the longitudinal axis 27. By configuring the fluid resistance means 8 such that the fluid casing 16 is rotatable and the resistance member 18 is not rotatable, a higher inertia resistance is created. The resistance member 18 comprises first protrusions 41 extending towards an inside 20 wall 43 of the fluid casing 16. Said inside wall 43 comprises second protrusions 42 extending towards the first protrusions 41. The fluid casing 16 is rotatable around the longitudinal axis 27 such that the second protrusions 42 do not collide with the first protrusions 41. This means that the second protrusions 42 are movable between the first protrusions 41. The degree of overlap of the first protrusions 41 and the second protrusions 42 determines the 25 degree of resistance provide by the fluid resistance means 8. The fluid resistance means 8 is configured to adjust the resistance against the unreeling of the coupling member (5 of fig. 1) by moving the resistance member 18 inside the fluid chamber 15 and substantially in the direction of the longitudinal axis 27. Said direction of movement of the resistance member 18 is indicated by arrow 44. 30 The pretensioning device 3 comprises adjusting means 19 for moving and holding the resistance member 18 in a number of specific locations along the longitudinal axis 27. Each of said specific positions comprises a different degree of overlap between the first protrusions 41 and the second protrusions 42. Said resistance member 18 comprises a lever 45 pivotable about a pivot point 46 and connected to the resistance member 18. The pivot 35 movement of the lever 45 is indicated by arrow 47. The adjusting means 19 are configured to move and hold the resistance member 18 in 3 specific locations along the longitudinal axis 27. The adjusting means 19 may also be configured to move and hold the resistance member 18 in between 2 - 5 specific locations along the longitudinal axis 27. 6 WO 2010/071403 PCT/NL2008/000280 The reel 10 is configured to hold the coupling member 5 in a spiral like configuration, which spiral like configuration is located in a fictive plane extending substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 27 of the reel axis 11. The reel 10 comprises a reel opening 23 at the circumference of the reel 10. The width W of the reel opening 23 is such 5 that the windings of the coupling member 5 are placed on top of each other. The pretensioning device 3 comprises connection means for connecting said pretensioning device 3 to the vibrating device 2 such that vibrations generated by the vibrating device 2 are transferred to the pretensioning device 3. Figure 3 shows the pretensioning device of fig. 1 in a view in cross section along line 10 Ill-Ill. Fig. 4 schematically shows an exploded view of the pretensioning device in perspective. It will be clear to the person skilled in the art that many variations of the training device, pretensioning device, method and use according the invention are possible without 15 departing of the scope of protection as defined in the claims, description and drawings. 7
