Description
La présente invention se rapporte aux appareils permettant l'exercice physique, souvent appelés home-trainers. L'invention concerne, plus particulièrement, un tel appareil dans lequel deux manivelles à pédales, actionnables en rotation par les pieds, et deux manivelles à poignées, actionnables en rotation par les mains, sont reliées cinématiquement. The present invention relates to devices allowing physical exercise, often called home trainers. The invention relates, more particularly, to such an apparatus in which two pedal cranks, which can be actuated in rotation by the feet, and two cranks with handles, which can be actuated in rotation by the hands, are kinematically connected.
Les appareils de ce type servent non seulement aux personnes bien portantes qui peuvent exercer à la fois leurs membres inférieurs et leurs membres supérieurs, mais aussi aux personnes handicapées ou en phase de rééducation qui peuvent, à l'aide de leurs membres inférieurs valides, mobiliser passivement leurs membres supérieurs invalides ou affaiblis, ou vice versa. The devices of this type are used not only for healthy people who can exercise both their lower limbs and their upper limbs, but also for people with disabilities or in rehabilitation phase who can, using their valid lower limbs, mobilize passively their disabled or weakened upper limbs, or vice versa.
Ces appareils sont généralement équipés d'un siège constitué soit d'une simple selle de bicyclette, soit d'un fauteuil, ce qui peut poser un problème pour les handicapés sérieux puisqu'il faut les y installer et, s'il s'agit d'une selle, veiller ensuite à ce qu'ils s'y maintiennent en équilibre. These devices are generally equipped with a seat made up either of a simple bicycle saddle, or of an armchair, which can pose a problem for the seriously handicapped since it is necessary to install them there and, if it is with a saddle, then ensure that they keep their balance there.
La présente invention a pour but de fournir un appareil d'exercice mieux adapté que les appareils connus à être utilisés par des personnes handicapées. The object of the present invention is to provide an exercise device which is better suited than the devices known to be used by disabled people.
Ce but est atteint grâce aux moyens spécifiés à la revendication 1. This object is achieved by the means specified in claim 1.
Les caractéristiques de la présente invention, ainsi que ses avantages, ressortiront de la description qui va suivre, faite en regard des dessins annexés et donnant, à titre explicatif mais nullement limitatif, une forme de réalisation de cet appareil. Sur ces dessins: The characteristics of the present invention, as well as its advantages, will emerge from the description which follows, made with reference to the appended drawings and giving, by way of explanation but in no way limiting, an embodiment of this device. In these drawings:
la fig. 1 est une vue générale de l'appareil selon l'invention, et la fig. 2 est une vue partielle en coupe de ses organes mobiles. fig. 1 is a general view of the apparatus according to the invention, and FIG. 2 is a partial sectional view of its movable members.
Comme on le voit sur les figures, l'appareil selon l'invention comporte une base-support 10 et une colonne 12 fixée à la base et contenant les organes mobiles. As can be seen in the figures, the apparatus according to the invention comprises a support base 10 and a column 12 fixed to the base and containing the movable members.
La base-support 10 est essentiellement constituée de deux pièces d'acier identiques 14 et 16, assemblées en une zone 18, par soudage ou tout autre moyen approprié, pour former un X dont les branches sont sensiblement plus longues d'un côté de la zone d'assemblage 18 que de l'autre. Les deux longues branches s'écartent suffisamment l'une de l'autre pour assurer une stabilité satisfaisante de l'appareil, mais surtout pour laisser entre elles un espace libre qui permet d'y placer les pieds d'une chaise ou les roues avant d'un fauteuil roulant. The support base 10 essentially consists of two identical pieces of steel 14 and 16, assembled in a zone 18, by welding or any other suitable means, to form an X whose branches are substantially longer on one side of the assembly area 18 than on the other. The two long branches move apart enough to ensure satisfactory stability of the device, but above all to leave a free space between them which allows to place the legs of a chair or the front wheels from a wheelchair.
La colonne 12, creuse et de forme généralement parallélépipédi-que, est fixée sur la base 10 au niveau de la zone 18, également par soudage ou tout autre moyen approprié. Cette colonne s'élève dans le plan médian du X de la base et est inclinée du côté de ses longues branches pour former avec le plan de ces dernières un angle généralement compris entre 55 et 80°. Column 12, hollow and of generally parallelepiped shape, is fixed to base 10 at zone 18, also by welding or any other suitable means. This column rises in the median plane of the base X and is inclined on the side of its long branches to form with the plane of the latter an angle generally between 55 and 80 °.
La colonne 12 comporte, dans sa partie inférieure, un dispositif 20 permettant de pédaler avec les pieds. Ce dispositif est essentiellement constitué d'un axe 22 monté sur deux roulements 24 et portant en son centre un pignon 26 et de deux manivelles à pédales 28, semblables à celles d'une bicyclette, fixées aux extrémités de l'axe 22. Column 12 has, in its lower part, a device 20 for pedaling with the feet. This device essentially consists of an axle 22 mounted on two bearings 24 and carrying in its center a pinion 26 and two cranks with pedals 28, similar to those of a bicycle, fixed to the ends of the axle 22.
La colonne 12 comporte, dans sa partie supérieure, un, dispositif 30 permettant de pédaler avec les mains. Ce dispositif est semblable au dispositif 20. Un axe 32, monté sur deux roulements 34, porte en son centre un pignon 36. Deux manivelles à poignées 38 sont fixées aux extrémités de cet axe. Column 12 has, in its upper part, a device 30 for pedaling with the hands. This device is similar to device 20. An axis 32, mounted on two bearings 34, carries in its center a pinion 36. Two cranks with handles 38 are fixed to the ends of this axis.
Enfin, une chaîne 40 assure la liaison cinématique entre les deux pignons 26 et 36. Il peut être avantageux de prévoir un système de réglage de la tension de cette chaîne. Finally, a chain 40 provides the kinematic connection between the two sprockets 26 and 36. It may be advantageous to provide a system for adjusting the tension of this chain.
Naturellement, l'appareil est équipé d'un système de freinage (non représenté sur les dessins, car sa réalisation est à la portée de l'homme de l'art) permettant, grâce à un bouton 42, de doser l'effort nécessaire pour actionner en rotation les deux dispositifs mobiles 20 et 30. Naturally, the device is equipped with a braking system (not shown in the drawings, since its production is within the reach of those skilled in the art) allowing, by means of a button 42, to dose the necessary effort for rotating the two mobile devices 20 and 30.
Les avantages de l'appareil selon l'invention ressortent de la description qui précède. The advantages of the apparatus according to the invention appear from the foregoing description.
Il suffit, en effet, pour utiliser l'appareil, d'être assis sur une chaise, normale ou roulante, placée entre les branches de la base 20. Grâce à l'inclinaison de la colonne 12 qui amène le dispositif à poignées 30 plus près du corps que le dispositif à pédales 20, l'utilisateur assis se trouve automatiquement dans la position qui lui permet d'atteindre les pédales avec les pieds et les manivelles avec les mains. Il peut alors soit exercer simultanément ses membres inférieurs et ses membres supérieurs, soit agir activement avec ses membres inférieurs et mobiliser passivement ses membres supérieurs, ou vice versa. Ainsi l'appareil convient parfaitement aux personnes handicapées puisqu'elles peuvent l'utiliser sans qu'il soit nécessaire de les installer sur un siège spécial. It suffices, in fact, to use the device, to be seated on a chair, normal or rolling, placed between the branches of the base 20. Thanks to the inclination of the column 12 which brings the device to handles 30 plus near the body as the pedal device 20, the seated user is automatically in the position which allows him to reach the pedals with the feet and the cranks with the hands. He can then either exercise his lower limbs and his upper limbs simultaneously, or act actively with his lower limbs and passively mobilize his upper limbs, or vice versa. The device is therefore ideal for disabled people since they can use it without having to install it on a special seat.
L'appareil, en outre, est à la fois peu encombrant et esthétique, cela étant dû au fait que les pignons et la chaîne sont dissimulés à l'intérieur de la colonne. Il faut noter aussi que l'absence de volant, généralement constitué dans les appareils connus par une roue de bicyclette, contribue largement à réduire l'encombrement et à améliorer l'esthétique. The device, moreover, is both compact and aesthetic, this being due to the fact that the sprockets and the chain are hidden inside the column. It should also be noted that the absence of a steering wheel, generally constituted in known devices by a bicycle wheel, largely contributes to reducing the bulk and improving the aesthetics.
Le caractère compact de l'appareil est un avantage important pour les handicapés, car il ne gêne pas les mouvements de l'utilisateur. The compactness of the device is an important advantage for the disabled, since it does not hinder the movements of the user.
L'appareil selon l'invention est avantageusement complété par un compte-tours 44, classique dans les appareils de ce type et donc non représenté en détail. The device according to the invention is advantageously supplemented by a tachometer 44, conventional in devices of this type and therefore not shown in detail.
Les pignons 26 et 36 peuvent avoir des nombres de dents différents, ce qui permet d'obtenir des vitesses de rotation différentes The pinions 26 and 36 can have different numbers of teeth, which makes it possible to obtain different rotational speeds.

pour les pédales et les poignées. Un système similaire au dérailleur d'une bicyclette peut même être prévu pour permettre à l'utilisateur un meilleur dosage des efforts de ses membres inférieurs par rapport aux efforts de ses membres supérieurs. Enfin, la liaison cinématique entre les deux dispositifs peut être réalisée par un système à la Cardan. for pedals and grips. A system similar to the derailleur of a bicycle can even be provided to allow the user a better dosage of the efforts of his lower limbs compared to the efforts of his upper limbs. Finally, the kinematic connection between the two devices can be achieved by a Cardan system.
La description qui précède a été faite en se référant principalement à une utilisation de l'appareil par une personne assise. Il est cependant intéressant de souligner que, moyennant un allongement de la colonne 12 et, plus particulièrement, de la distance entre le dispositif à pédales 20 et le dispositif à poignées 30, l'appareil est utilisable en se plaçant debout sur les pédales du côté opposé à celui vers 5 lequel la colonne est inclinée et en se tenant aux poignées. L'action-nement des deux dispositifs permet alors un exercice physique très complet qui simule les mouvements d'un alpiniste et constitue, de ce fait, une préparation pour ce genre d'activité. The foregoing description has been made mainly with reference to the use of the device by a seated person. It is however interesting to emphasize that, by means of an elongation of the column 12 and, more particularly, of the distance between the pedal device 20 and the handle device 30, the device can be used by standing on the pedals on the side opposite to that towards which the column is tilted and holding on to the handles. The action of the two devices then allows a very complete physical exercise which simulates the movements of a mountaineer and therefore constitutes a preparation for this kind of activity.
