Description

The invention relates to the field of fitness equipment and especially technical devices for finger fitness.

Making music on instruments makes high demands on the fingers in terms of their flexibility and ability. The Berliner Musikverein Seitbach has found that it is far more effective if the fingers are already trained before being practiced with the respective instrument. But the finger exercise has started everywhere with the instrument and the exercise on the instrument pervades the whole learning process. However, as you know, this classic exercise method makes it difficult to quickly and effectively improve the flexibility and craftsmanship of the fingers. So you have to spend a lot of time learning an instrument, with the risk that you will end up failing. Various experiments have shown that a few "skilful" hands and a few "awkward" hands after 5 years of practice on the same instrument produce very different results - the former can play much better. Therefore, it is very important for prospective instrumentalists to improve finger agility even without instruments.

Here are training discs use. That's how it describes US 5 013 030 A a circular disk with a multitude of openings in which the fingers of the hand can be picked up. Distanced from these openings is another plurality of openings for the thumb of the corresponding hand. By placing the thumb and fingers in the openings, a muscle tension is achieved in the direction of the connection of the thumb with the hand, whereby the hand force is trained.

The object of the invention is to propose a device particularly suitable for musicians. This object is achieved with the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.

The invention proposes a hub for finger exercises.

The exercise with the turntable but no instrument can improve the finger agility and dexterity and thus indirectly the adaptability of the fingers to play with an instrument. The effectiveness of the exercise can be increased. The turntable for finger exercises is suitable for guitarists, violinists and pianists u.a. and is easily portable and usable at any time.

The finger exercise hub has along an axis arranged in the following order: a left palm rest, a left finger disc fixedly connected to the left palm rest, a left base disc fixedly connected to the left finger disc, a right ground disc, a right disc Finger disc, which is firmly connected to the right base disk, and a right palm support, which is firmly connected to the right base disk.

In the left finger disk are in the side on which the left palm support is located, several holes introduced, can be plugged into the fingers. In the right finger disks are in the side on which the right palm support is located, several holes introduced, can be plugged into the fingers.

An axis of rotation is installed between the left and right ground discs. In the middle region of this axis of rotation, a magnetic disc is arranged transversely to the axis of rotation. Further, a pair of magnetic rings are disposed around the rotation axis, which are located on both sides of the magnetic disk, with a clearance between each of the magnetic rings and the magnetic disk. The magnetic disc and the magnetic rings are in a cover.

The one end of the axis of rotation breaks through this cover and is attached to the left base disk and the cover is attached to the right base disk. Each magnetic ring is movable in the cover and arranged connectable to this or a base disk.

In the turntable, one end of the axis of rotation is firmly connected to the left base disk. The metal disc in the central region of the axis of rotation is framed without contact in the cover between the two magnetic rings and the two magnetic rings can be firmly installed in the cover. The cover is firmly connected to the right base disk.

The rotation of the left base disk causes the rotation axis to rotate in relation to the cover (the right base disk), and the rotation of the right base disk causes the cover and the magnet rings to rotate in relation to the rotation axis. That is, the left and right base disks can rotate in relation to each other.

In applying the turntable for the finger exercises, the practitioner stretches the five fingers of each hand and places the palms on each of the left and right palm supports, with the fingers engaging the corresponding finger holes on the left and right finger discs and the fingers Hand roots are to be leaned against the left and right finger disc. With the wrist and elbow as a pivot, the left or right finger disc can be rotated.

In practical use, systematic exercises designed for this purpose can be carried out. As a result, the finger agility and skill and thus the adaptability of the fingers to the music can be improved.

Since the magnetic disk is located between two magnetic rings, the damping torque acting on the magnetic disk is different in relation to the rotational axis when the poles of the magnetic rings are different from each other. When opposing poles of both magnet rings are in contact with each other, the damping torque of the magnetic disk in relation to the rotation direction of the rotation axis is zero, that is, the damping torque of the rotation axis is zero. However, when the same poles of the magnet rings are in contact with each other, the damping torque of the magnetic disk to the rotation direction of the rotation axis reaches the maximum, that is, the damping torque is largest. Therefore, in the manufacture of this hub for finger exercises, the damping torque of the magnetic disk to the rotational direction of the rotation axis (ie, the damping torque of the rotation axis) can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the poles of the magnetic rings to each other.

As required, the damping torque of the rotation axis can be adjusted, that is, the damping torque can be adjusted according to the user's request to the resistance of the exercise disk during rotation. The damping torque of the rotation axis can be controlled by regulating the position of the magnetic rings to each other continuously, so that the need of the user can be better met. The two magnetic rings and the turntable are connected by the magnetism without contact. There is no friction. So the turntable for finger exercises has a long life and it can hardly come to disturbances.

The rotatable in each direction left palm support consists of a left support core, which is firmly connected to the left finger disc and a support body, which is attached to the support core. The rotatable in each direction right palm support consists of a right support core, which is firmly connected to the right finger disc and a support body, which is attached to the support core. They can be taken apart and reassembled.

The left and right support core may be made of a hard material. The left and right support bodies may be made of a soft material. This ensures the robustness of the product while giving the product a pleasant hand feel.

The upper part of the left and right support core has a spherical shape, the left and the right support body are curved outwards so that they fit well to the palms.

The support core of the left and right palm supports is made of aluminum or plastic, and the support bodies are made of silicone. This ensures the robustness of the product while giving the product a pleasant hand feel.

The cover is connected by screws to the right-hand base plate, simple in construction and easy to insert.

The left and right finger discs are made of foamed and elastic ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) and thus convey a pleasant hand feeling.

The axis of rotation breaks through one end of the cover and is connected by a locking ring to the left base plate - simple design and easy to implement.

The ends of the axis of rotation are each mounted in a ball bearing. These support the axis of rotation and minimize the friction when turning the axis of rotation.

Each magnetic ring can be fixed by gluing to the cover or a base disk. The construction is simple and easy to implement.

Bionic speakers and electronic speed counters can be interspersed in the turntable for finger exercises. The bionic speakers can generate corresponding sounds when using the turntable, and the electronic counters can indicate the speed of the left and right finger discs.
