Description

The invention relates to a cab for a commercial vehicle according to the preamble of claims 1 and 2.

Despite significant improvements in the design of driver seats, which are increasingly designed for ergonomic aspects, such as the protection of the back or the spine, a long stay in the driver's seat of a motor vehicle, especially a commercial vehicle, especially in professional drivers still to the adverse effects Lead health.

To give occupants of a commercial vehicle opportunity to counteract such negative health effects through training, is from the DE 10 2005 016 390 0A1 a vehicle seat is known, in which a training device for training individual muscle is integrated. By means of such a training device exercises can be completed during breaks, which compensate for the negative effects of long sitting in the vehicle seat.

A disadvantage of such vehicle seats is that the integrated training devices require considerable space, and thus further reduce the already available small space available in the cab of a commercial vehicle on.

The present invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a cab according to the preamble of claims 1 and 2, which offers training in a space-saving, compact way an occupant of a commercial vehicle.

This object is achieved by a cab with the features of claim 1 and by a cab with the features of claim 2.

Such a cab for a commercial vehicle, in particular a truck, a tractor or the like, comprises at least one training device for training at least one muscle part of an occupant of the commercial vehicle. According to the invention it is provided that the at least one training device is arranged on a seat outside equipment part of the cab. In contrast to known from the prior art, in the driver's seat integrated exercise equipment in the cab according to the invention a much greater freedom in design with respect to the arrangement of the training device. The available space can thus be used optimally.

In a further aspect of the invention it is provided that the training device has at least one tension element for exerting a tensile force by the occupant, which can be arranged on at least one associated driver's cab side mount. With such exercise equipment, a variety of exercises for training a variety of muscle can be performed without a significant space requirement for the device. It is particularly useful if the tension element is reversible to install in the holder, so that it can be removed and stowed after use. The available space in the cab is therefore not significantly limited by the training device.

Preferably, the at least one tension element comprises a grip region for exerting a tensile force by the occupant, to which in a further embodiment of the invention an expandable central region adjoins which exerts a corresponding counterforce on the tension element when a tensile force is exerted. This may be, for example, a rubber cord with a correspondingly designed, ergonomic handle.

In a particularly preferred embodiment, the tension element can be suspended by means of a quick coupling element, in particular by means of a snap hook in the associated holder. This is preferably designed as an eyelet, which can be sunk particularly expediently by folding in the respective piece of equipment, so that the space required when not in use of the training device is particularly low.

The at least one holder is expediently arranged in a roof area and / or floor area of the driver's cab, wherein a plurality of holders is particularly preferably provided so that the choice of brackets in which the traction elements of the training device are mounted, the training device for a variety of exercises can be configured without causing a significant amount of space in the cab.

Preferably, a plurality of tension members of different lengths is further provided. This also makes a configuration of the training device for a variety of training units is possible.

It is particularly useful if the cab also has a storage compartment for storing the tension elements, so that they can be accommodated in a particularly space-saving and inconspicuous when not in use.

In the following the invention and its embodiments will be explained in more detail with reference to the drawing. The 1 to 10 show an embodiment of a cab according to the invention with a training device in different configurations for training different muscle parts of an occupant of the cab.

In a cab 10 A commercial vehicle is a training device to prevent possible bodily harm threatened by the long-term occupational activity of professional drivers 12 intended for muscle training, which is a driver 14 of the motor vehicle in breaks. The training device 12 includes tension elements 16 by means of appropriate hooks 18 in associated eyelets 20 in the roof area 22 and floor area 24 of the cab 10 are arranged, can be hung. On the hook 18 opposite end have the tension elements 16 handles 26 on. The handles 26 and the hooks 18 are over stretchable middle areas 28 connected with each other, the one by the driver 14 applied traction oppose a corresponding counterforce. The tension elements 16 can due to the variety of eyelets provided 20 be installed in a variety of configurations, which are suitable for different exercises, each with different muscle parts of the driver 14 can be trained.

1 shows a first exercise, the so-called Latzug, for which the tension elements 16 in eyelets 20 of the ceiling area 22 be hung. The driver 14 this takes on the front edge of the filing of the cab 10 Place, directs his gaze towards the windshield and raises the pelvis forward. When tense stomach become the handles 26 the tension elements 16 grasped, with the palms facing inward. By pulling down the handles at the side of the body to shoulder height, holding this position for 2 seconds and slowly returning the handles 26 in particular, the muscles of the back shoulder muscles are trained upwards. These include, in particular, the latissimus dorsi muscle, the deltoid muscle, the trapezius muscle, the rhomboid muscle, the infraspinatus muscle and the biceps brachii muscle of the arm muscle. This short move is repeated 15 times.

2 shows an alternative configuration of the exercise device 12 , For this purpose, again tensile elements 16 in the eyelets 20 of the roof area 22 mounted, with tension elements here 16 with a longer middle range 28 be used. The configuration shown serves to carry out the so-called triceps curl, for which the driver 14 again on the front edge of the tray 30 Takes a seat, looks forward and raises the pelvis forward. When tense stomach become the handles 26 each gripped from above, with the inside of the hand pointing forward. The driver now stretches the elbows at the same time against the train of stretchable mid-sections 28 down and then relieves them back up. The torso of the driver 14 remains stable, the movement takes place only in the elbow joint. This long move is repeated 15 times. In particular, the posterior musculature of the upper arm, in particular the M. triceps brachii, is exercised.

For the exercise according to 3 become the tension elements 16 again in the eyelets 20 of the roof area 22 hooked. The so-called rowing train from above is the driver 14 with parallel legs and looking towards the back of the cab 10 , The handles 26 are gripped with the hands from the outside, with the palm sides facing each other. The tension elements 16 are now alternately pulled one after the other by moving one elbow to the back. The torso of the driver 14 it is easy to turn, while the abdominal muscles are always tense. This short move is repeated 15 times. In particular, this exercise also trains the posterior shoulder muscles, in particular the latissimus dorsi, the deltoid, the teres major, the infraspinatus, and the biceps brachii muscles.

4 shows another configuration of the exercise device 12 , Here are the tension elements 16 by means of the hooks 18 in eyelets 20 of the floor area 24 of the cab 10 hooked. The driver 14 sits here again on the front edge of the shelf 30 , directs his gaze to the windscreen and raises the pelvis forward.

Feet are put shoulder width, tummy taut. The handles 26 the tension elements 16 are gathered in front of the chest and pressed to the chest. To perform the exercise, the stretched back is slowly moved down and then back up. This long move is repeated 15 times. In case of existing back pain only very small movements should be carried out against low draw resistance. Here, in particular, the lower back muscles are exercised by the seated activity of a driver 14 is particularly stressed. This exercise especially benefits the M. erector spinae.

Also for the exercise according to 5 , the so-called rowing train from below, become the tension elements 16 back in the eyelets 20 of the vehicle floor area 24 hooked. The driver 14 stands in the lunge step looking forward, keeping his back straight and leaning slightly forward. When tense stomach become the handles 26 each seized from the outside, the Hand sides show each other. The movement starts from the elbows, with the tension elements 16 Pulled close to the body back and up, with the handles 26 towards the ribs of the driver 14 move. This long move is repeated 15 times. In particular, the back muscles of the shoulder are trained, in particular the latissimus dorsi, deltoid, teres major, infraspinatus and biceps brachii muscles.

6 shows another configuration of the exercise device 12 , which is suitable for performing squats. Again, the tension elements 16 back in the eyelets 20 of the vehicle floor area 24 hooked. The driver 14 in turn takes on the leading edge of the tray 30 Place, tense the belly and directs the view towards the windscreen. The feet are placed one foot in front of the tray, both hands grab a handle 26 from the outside. The exercise is done by the driver 14 from the seat, opening the arms sideways, keeping the position short and returning to the starting position. The buttocks of the driver 14 while doing the filing 30 just touch for a moment, the back is straight and stable all the time This long move is repeated 15 times. In particular, the muscles of the leg and back muscles, in particular the quadriceps femoris, the gluteus maximus and the latissimus dorsi muscles, are exercised.

For the exercise according to 7 , the so-called reverse butterfly, become the traction elements 16 also in the eyelets 20 of the vehicle floor area 24 hooked. There are this long tension elements 16 used. The driver 14 in turn takes on the leading edge of the tray 30 Place, directs the view towards the windshield, raises the pelvis forward and tenses the abdomen. The tension elements 16 They are crossed over and, with slightly bent arms, are grasped from the front below and pulled upwards to shoulder height. The spine of the driver 14 stays upright and stable. This long move is repeated 15 times. In particular, the back muscles of the shoulder, in particular the trapezius muscle and the deltoid muscle, are exercised.

The exercise is suitable for training the arm muscles 8th , the so-called bicep curl. This is the driver 14 in the lunge, looking forward, tenses the abdomen and keeps the elbows slightly bent and pressed against the side of the ribs. The hands grasp the grips 26 the tension elements 16 which again in the eyelets 20 of the floor area 24 are attached. The inside of the hand points upwards. To perform the exercise, the elbow is bent up against the pull and then moved back down. The upper body remains stable, the movement takes place only in the elbow joint. This long move is repeated 15 times. In particular, the anterior muscles of the upper arm are trained, in particular the M. biceps brachii and the M. brachialis brachii.

For the exercise according to 9 , the shoulder lift, become the tension elements 16 also in the eyelets 20 of the floor area 24 hooked. The driver 14 in turn takes on the leading edge of the tray 30 Place and directs his eyes towards the windscreen. The arms of the driver 14 They are stretched downwards while their hands grasp a handle 26 the tension elements 16 from the outside. Against the draw resistance, the shoulders are now circled in large movements against the draw resistance to the rear, with the arms remain stretched. This short move is repeated 15 times. In particular, the posterior musculature is exercised, in particular the latissimus dorsi muscle and the trapezius muscle.

Another exercise, called the side lift, is in 10 shown. Again, the tension elements 16 in the eyelets 20 of the vehicle floor area 24 mounted, the driver 14 stands in the lunge step looking forward, keeping his back straight and tensing his stomach. The grips 26 are gripped on the left and right from the top and pulled up to shoulder height with stretched arms. This long move is repeated 15 times. The muscles of the upper shoulder area and neck are trained in this way, in particular the deltoid muscle and the trapezius muscle.

Beginners should perform the exercises consisting of 15 short or long moves 3 times in a row. For advanced users there are four and for professionals five cycles recommended.
