The present invention relates to a training device according to claim 1, an upper body element for use in such a training device according to claim 13, a hand element for use in such a training device according to claim 14, a foot element for use in such a training device according to claim 15 and an elastic hand traction element and / or an elastic foot traction element for use in such a training device according to claim 16.

It is a widespread need of many people to at least maintain or even increase their physical performance, which can also be referred to as fitness. In addition to physical well-being, this also benefits health. For this purpose, these people can complete a corresponding fitness training, which, depending on the type of training, can be carried out at home, outside, e.g. in a park or in a forest, as well as in fitness facilities such as sports facilities, fitness studios and the like. Depending on the type and location of the training, fixed devices such as cable pulling devices can be used, which are usually used for strength or endurance training of certain muscles or muscle groups and represent an alternative to dumbbells and the like. Devices such as rowing machines, treadmills, crosstainers and the like can also be used. However, comparatively simple and small devices such as balls, expanders, rubber bands and the like can also be used in order to increase the load on the muscles or muscle groups in particular during gymnastics exercises and thereby increase the training effect.

A general goal in the development of new types of training equipment or fitness equipment is to create the simplest possible, inexpensive, space-saving and / or mobile training equipment with which as many different fitness exercises as possible can be performed and / or as many different muscles or muscle groups of the user as possible can be trained.

The US 2010/0041528 A1 describes an exercise device having a belt configured to attach around the waist, waist, or torso of a user, or to a fixed object adjacent to a user. The belt has a front portion configured to be placed on the front of the person and a rear portion configured to be placed on the rear of a person. A pair of spaced apart elastomeric cords are mounted from a proximal end of the cord to the front portion of the belt and from a distal end of the elastomeric cord to a handle. A method of using the exercise device and exercises that can be performed therewith are also disclosed.

A disadvantage of the training device US 2010/0041528 A1 is that the training options are still quite limited.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a training device of the type described at the outset, so that the training possibilities can be increased, simplified and / or improved. In particular, a further development of the training device US 2010/0041528 A1 respectively. At least one alternative to known training devices of this type and in particular to the training device of the US 2010/0041528 A1 to be provided.

The object is achieved according to the invention by a training device with the features of claim 1, by an upper body element with the features of claim 13, by a hand element with the features of claim 14, by a foot element with the features of claim 15 and by an elastic hand pull element and or Or solved by an elastic foot pull element with the features of claim 16. Advantageous further developments are described in the subclaims.

The present invention thus relates to a training device having an upper body element with a hip element which is designed to be fastened around the hip of a user. In other words, the hip element is designed in such a way that the hip element is arranged around the hip of a person who uses the training device as a user and on the user's hip during training, ie when the training device is used as intended can be held. In particular, forces can be transmitted to the user's hip via the hip element, as will be described in more detail below. Such a hip element can, for example, be implemented in a manner comparable to a belt, with a soft, resilient surface preferably being present on the inside, at least in sections and preferably completely, in order to increase wearing comfort for the user on the one hand and to hold the hip element in the elongate direction on the other of the user, ie to avoid slipping of the hip element during training towards the user's chest or towards the user's lower body.

The upper body element of the training device furthermore has at least one first shoulder element which is designed to be attached to a first shoulder of the user. The first shoulder element is also designed in such a way that the first shoulder element on the person can be arranged to enclose the person's first shoulder and can be held on the first shoulder of the user during training. In particular, forces can be transmitted to the user's first shoulder via the first shoulder element, as will be described in more detail below. The shape of the first shoulder element can be designed in such a way that the freedom of movement of the corresponding shoulder joint of the user is restricted as little or not at all. In particular, the shape and / or material of the first shoulder element can be designed in such a way that, on the one hand, the wearing comfort for the user is increased and, on the other hand, the hold of the first shoulder element can be improved, ie the first shoulder element slips off the first during training Shoulder down and towards the first arm of the user can be avoided.

The first shoulder element and the hip element can be connected to one another, as will be described in more detail below. The first shoulder element and the hip element can, however, also be formed separately and connected below, but due to their functional interaction, which will be described in more detail below, they can be viewed and referred to together as an upper body element.

The training device also has at least one first hand element which is configured to be attached to a first hand of the user. For this purpose, the first hand element can at least partially enclose the first hand of the user and for this purpose, for example, be designed in a manner comparable to a glove, as will be described in more detail below. Alternatively, the first hand element can also be designed as a handle, a loop and the like in order to be held or grasped by the first hand of the user. In any case, a secure hold of the first trading element on the first hand of the user can be guaranteed.

• • ein erstes brustseitiges elastisches Handzugelement das erste Handelement brustseitig mit dem ersten Schulterelement verbindet und bzw. oder
• • ein erstes rückenseitiges elastisches Handzugelement das erste Handelement rückenseitig mit dem ersten Schulterelement verbindet und bzw. oder
• • ein erstes hüftseitiges elastisches Handzugelement das erste Handelement hüftseitig mit dem Hüftelement verbindet.

The training device also has at least two, preferably at least three, first elastic hand pull elements, of which

• • a first elastic hand pulling element on the chest side connects the first hand element on the chest side with the first shoulder element and / or
• • a first elastic hand pulling element on the back connects the first hand element to the first shoulder element on the rear side and / or
• • a first elastic hand pull element on the hip side connects the first hand element to the hip element on the hip side.

In other words, of the three first elastic hand-pull elements listed above, the training device has at least two first elastic hand-pull elements. Of the three first elastic hand-pull elements listed above, the training device preferably has all three first elastic hand-pull elements.

The hip element, the first shoulder element and the first hand element each have at least one connection option, e.g. in the form of a loop, a ring, an eyelet or the like, with which a corresponding connection option of the corresponding first elastic hand pull element can be permanently or non-destructively released, for example with a snap hook can be connected. As a result, the respective connection can be established and, if necessary, also canceled again, e.g. to be able to exchange different first elastic manual tension elements with different lengths and / or with different resistances, as will be described in more detail below.

The first elastic hand pulling element on the chest side connects the first hand element on the chest side with the first shoulder element. In other words, on the part of the first shoulder element in its area, which is arranged over the chest of the user when the upper body element of the training device is used as intended, a connection as described above with the first elastic hand tension element on the chest is provided. This connection can be provided in the area of the first shoulder element in particular wherever the first elastic hand pulling element on the chest can extend at least essentially in a straight line to the first hand element when the user stretches his first hand horizontally straight forward away from his chest. This therefore also includes the highest point of the user's first shoulder, which forms the transition from the chest-side area of the first shoulder element to the back-side area of the first shoulder element and can thus be assigned to both areas of the first shoulder element.

Correspondingly, the first elastic hand pulling element on the back connects the first hand element on the back with the first shoulder element of the upper body element of the training device, ie the first elastic hand-pulling element on the back is connected to a region of the first shoulder element which is arranged on the user's back when the upper body element of the training device is used as intended. This also includes the highest point of the user's first shoulder, with only either the first elastic hand-pulling element on the chest or the first elastic hand-pulling element on the back being able to be connected there at the same time.

Comparably, the first hip-side elastic hand-pull element connects the hand element on the hip-side with the hip element of the training device, i.e. the first hip-side elastic hand-pulling element is connected to an area of the hip element of the training device which, when the training device is used as intended, is arranged above the user's hip. This connection between the first elastic hand tensioning element on the hip and the hip element can be arranged on the front of the hip element, to the side of the hip element or on the back of the hip element, each viewed from the user's point of view according to the intended use of the training device. A front-side connection of the first hip-side elastic hand-pulling element to the hip element can be preferred in order to achieve an action of the first hip-side elastic hand-pulling element from the user's upper body towards the front.

In any case, only one connection option can be provided in the corresponding area of the upper body element of the training device, i.e. only one connection option on the chest, one on the back and one connection on the hip as described above. However, preferably in at least one of the above-described areas of the upper body element and particularly preferably in several to all previously described areas of the upper body element, several connection options can be provided, which simultaneously for several corresponding first elastic hand-pull elements or alternatively for the same first elastic hand-pull element or different first elastic hand pull elements can be used. This can increase the possibilities for variation in the training, as will be described in more detail below.

The present invention is based on the knowledge that in known training devices such as the training device US 2010/0041528 A1 only by means of a single elastomeric rope per hand element an additional resistance can be exerted against the waist, the hips or the torso of the user. As a result, additional resistance can only be exerted during such movements by the user during training due to the elasticity of the elastomeric rope, thereby increasing the training effect, which also leads to an elastic stretching of the elastomeric rope. In other words, the elastic resistance can essentially only produce an effect in one direction, so that only movements in this direction can be made more difficult and their training effect can be supported as a result. In the case of other movements, the elastic stretching of the elastomeric rope can be different depending on the movement and thus the support of the training effect can also be very different and dependent on the movement.

According to the invention, therefore, at least two of the three previously described first elastic hand pull elements are used to offer the user elastic resistance during more movements, thereby increasing the load on the muscles or muscle groups involved and thus increasing the training effect than previously known. For example, a first elastic hand-pulling element on the chest and a first elastic hand-pulling element on the back can be used to provide an elastic resistance to the front, to the rear and to both sides from the user's point of view, essentially in the horizontal plane at the level of the user's first shoulder Offer.

If a first elastic hand-pulling element on the chest and a first elastic hand-pulling element on the hip are used together, an elastic front resistance can be offered from the user's point of view and in terms of height from the user's point of view. This applies in a comparable manner to the use of a first elastic hand-pulling element on the back together with a first elastic hand-pulling element on the hip.

In any case, more movements of the user's first hand can be opposed to an elastic resistance on the part of the corresponding first elastic hand pulling element than previously known, which can increase the load on the user and thus increase the training effect. This can already be brought about by the use of at least two of the three previously described first elastic hand pull elements. If all three previously described first elastic hand pulling elements are preferably used, the number of movements which an elastic resistance can counteract as described above can be further increased, which can further improve the training possibilities. In any case, the points at which the connections between the respective first elastic hand tensioning element and the first shoulder element or the hip element are arranged can, if necessary, be varied, such as previously described. This can expand the design options for the elastic resistances and thus further increase the range of options for training support.

The training device according to the invention can be used for various training options in the fitness area, such as strength training, as well as, for example, in the field of martial arts, e.g. boxing or kick-boxing. In boxing or kick-boxing in particular, all three previously described first elastic hand pulling elements can be used to train straight, hook and uppercut strokes together with the support of the training device, i.e. without having to change the training device and without having to use additional training devices. The training device according to the invention can also be used for therapeutic purposes, for exercises for rehabilitation and the like.

• • ein zweites brustseitiges elastisches Handzugelement das zweite Handelement brustseitig mit dem zweiten Schulterelement verbindet und bzw. oder
• • ein zweites rückenseitiges elastisches Handzugelement das zweite Handelement rückenseitig mit dem zweiten Schulterelement verbindet und bzw. oder
• • ein zweites hüftseitiges elastisches Handzugelement das zweite Handelement hüftseitig mit dem Hüftelement verbindet.

According to one aspect of the invention, the upper body element has a second shoulder element which is designed to be attached to a second shoulder of the user, with at least one second hand element which is designed to be attached to a second hand of the user, and with at least two, preferably at least three, second elastic hand-pull elements, of which

• • a second elastic hand pulling element on the chest side connects the second hand element on the chest side with the second shoulder element and / or
• • a second elastic hand pulling element on the back connects the second hand element to the second shoulder element on the rear side and / or
• • a second elastic hand pull element on the hip side connects the second hand element to the hip element on the hip side.

In this way, the properties and advantages described above can be applied to both hands or arms of the user, so that the training possibilities improved according to the invention can be used with both hands or arms of the user.

According to a further aspect of the invention, the first shoulder element, preferably also the second shoulder element, is connected to the hip element. In other words, the first shoulder element is connected to the hip element in a force-transmitting manner, so that the first shoulder element can be held at least partially in its position on the user's shoulder by the hip element. For this purpose, the first shoulder element can preferably extend on both sides along the upper body of the user from the first shoulder of the user, both on the chest side and on the back, to the hip element and there, for example, by sewing, gluing or the like and possibly also non-destructively separable, e.g. by means of a hook or Locking mechanism be connected to the hip element. In particular, the first shoulder element of the upper body element of the training device can for this purpose be led in a belt-like manner from e.g. the front of the hip element on the chest side over the first shoulder of the user and back again to the hip element, i.e. to its rear side, and connected there to the hip element. In any case, a secure hold between the first shoulder element and the hip element can be achieved in this way, which in particular can offer the first shoulder element sufficient hold during training on the first shoulder of the user or at least support it. This applies accordingly to a second shoulder element, if this is available.

According to a further aspect of the invention, the upper body element is designed as a vest. In other words, the upper body element is designed as a sleeveless, waist-length jacket. The hip element and the first shoulder element, possibly also a second shoulder element, can be connected to one another in a force-transmitting manner by at least one flat element which gives the upper body element the shape of a vest. The hip element and the first shoulder element, possibly also a second shoulder element, can also be connected directly to one another, as described above, and spaces between the hip element, the first shoulder element and, if necessary, the second shoulder element can be filled by the flat element, in order to Form a vest shape.

In any case, the arrangement of the first shoulder element and possibly a second shoulder element on the user's upper body during training can be improved by designing the upper body element as a vest, since the first shoulder element and possibly a second shoulder element are flat in all directions around the upper body of the User can be kept around. In particular, forces can be transmitted, in particular from the first shoulder element and possibly from the second shoulder element to the hip element, more evenly than without the use of the flat element, which can reduce the loads on the elements involved in the force transmission and thus increase their service life. In particular, the wearing comfort of the upper body element for the user can be increased.

According to a further aspect of the invention, the hip element has a hip closure mechanism on the front. In other words, the hip element is designed to be interrupted where the upper body element is worn by the user on its front side when used as intended, in order to simplify putting on or putting on the upper body element. At the same time, a hip closure mechanism is provided there, which can be opened to put on or put on the upper body element and then closed by the user. For this purpose, the hip closure mechanism can be designed, for example, as a belt buckle and, in particular, can be adjusted in circumference. Alternatively, a latching, snapping, hooking or other locking mechanism can also be used as the hip locking mechanism, which can be adjusted in circumference, for example by adjusting at least one strap or the like that holds a section of the locking mechanism.

According to a further aspect of the invention, the upper body element has a chest element which is designed to be attached to the chest of the user, the chest element being connected to the hip element and to the first shoulder element, preferably also to the second shoulder element, wherein the Chest element has a chest closure mechanism, and / or the upper body element has a back element which is designed to be fastened to the back of the user, the back element being connected to the hip element and to the first shoulder element, preferably also to the second shoulder element.

The chest element and / or the back element serves to stabilize at least the first shoulder element and possibly the second shoulder element. For this purpose, the chest element and / or the back element can be designed in the manner of a belt or band and, when used as intended, can be guided around the upper body of the user, in particular at least substantially horizontally. If two shoulder elements are used, the two shoulder elements can be connected to one another in this way. Preferably, a flat element can also be used in order to connect the first shoulder element and possibly also the second shoulder element flatly to the hip element. For this purpose, the chest element and the back element can together form a vest, as already described above. The hip element and the first shoulder element, possibly also the second shoulder element, can preferably be arranged from the outside on the chest element and the back element. Alternatively, the chest element and the back element can also fill in at least sections of the spaces between the hip element and the first shoulder element, and possibly also and the second shoulder element.

The breast element can be constructed in two parts and can be closed, as described above with regard to the hip closure element. The chest closure element can be designed to be closable at certain points, e.g. by buckles and by latching, snap-in or other such closure mechanisms, or elongated, e.g. by means of a zip, Velcro or other such closure mechanisms.

According to a further aspect of the invention, the breast element and / or the back element has, at least in sections, preferably completely, a breathable material, preferably consists or consist of a breathable material. A breathable material is understood to mean any material which has the property of allowing water vapor to escape to such an extent that, when the upper body element of the training device is used as intended, the person's sweating can be kept to a minimum. For this purpose, the chest element and / or the back element can be configured, for example, like a network. Functional textiles can also be used, as are customary in sports and fitness clothing. In any case, this means that the user's sweating during training can be kept as low as possible, which can be more pleasant for the user.

According to a further aspect of the invention, the chest element and / or the back element has, at least in sections, preferably completely, a non-breathable material, preferably neoprene, preferably consists or consist of a non-breathable material, preferably neoprene . Based on the preceding statements, a breathable material is to be understood as any material which has the property of preventing water vapor from escaping to such an extent that the person's sweating can be increased when the upper body element of the training device is used as intended.

According to a further aspect of the invention, the upper body element has at least one receptacle, preferably at least one pocket, and / or at least one holder, preferably at least one connecting element, preferably at least one snap hook, or at least one ring, for at least one additional weight element. In other words, at least one additional weight element can be attached to the upper body element in order to protect the face of the To increase the upper body element and thereby also to increase the training effect. Depending on the design of the weight element, for example as a metal chain, a weight disk, a sand-filled bag and the like, the receptacle can be designed as a pocket, hook, in particular a snap hook, and the like. A plurality of such receptacles can also be present at different points on the upper body element, which can be used alternatively to one another or at the same time. This can further increase the variety of training options.

According to a further aspect of the invention, the first hand element, preferably also the second hand element, has a finger glove or a glove to which the elastic hand pull elements are connected. This enables the trading element to be held securely on the user's hand. The connection to the at least two and preferably three elastic hand pull elements can preferably be made on the back of the hand side of the first hand element. In any case, the first hand of the user can remain free during training in order to be able to hold and guide an object such as a weight if necessary. The first hand can also be closed and used in a fist, for example, when boxing or kick-boxing.

According to a further aspect of the invention, the training device has at least one first foot element, which is designed to be attached to a first foot of the user, and at least one first elastic foot pull element, which the first foot element with the hip element or with the first shoulder element, preferably or with the second shoulder element, wherein the first foot element preferably has at least one foot loop which is designed to encompass the first foot of the user on the underside, preferably also to a second foot element which is designed to be attached to a second foot of the user and with at least one second elastic foot pull element which connects the second foot element to the hip element or to the first shoulder element, preferably or to the second shoulder element, the second foot element preferably having at least one foot loop which is formed, the second To include the underside of the user's foot. In this way, the aspects described above can be transferred in a comparable manner to at least one first foot or at least one first leg of the user and can also be used there as described above. This can preferably also take place for both feet or for both legs of the user.

Providing the first foot element with at least one foot loop, which is designed to encompass the user's first foot on the underside, e.g. in the area between the heel and the ball of the foot, can enable the first foot element to be held easily and securely on the user's first foot. The first foot element can also have a foot holder, which is firmly connected to the foot loop, for example by sewing, and is designed to be open and lockable on one side in such a way that the user step into the foot loop with his first foot and then the foot holder, for example by means of a Velcro fastener, around his ankle or close around the ankle. This can enable a secure hold of the first foot element, which can be taken up and lifted quickly and easily. This can also enable a size adjustment in order to be able to adapt the foot holder to the ankle circumference of the user.

According to a further aspect of the invention, at least one elastic hand pulling element and / or at least one elastic foot pulling element has at least one pulling element body, preferably at least one rubber hose, which has at least one connecting element, preferably at least one snap hook, at at least one end, preferably at both ends. wherein the hip element and / or the first shoulder element, preferably and / or the second shoulder element and / or the first foot element and / or the second foot element, has or have at least one ring which is formed and arranged, at least one connecting element, preferably at least one snap hook, particularly preferably several snap hooks. In other words, the elastic hand pull elements and elastic foot pull elements can basically be of the same design, which can simplify handling for the user. The same connection mechanism can be used in each case in order to be able to use the same counterpart to the connection element of the respective elastic hand-pull element or foot-pull element on the hip element, on the shoulder elements, on the hand elements and on the foot elements as the respective connection partner. Implementing this connection mechanism using rings and snap hooks can enable a secure hold with low costs as well as a robust and durable design. The connection and disconnection of the connection partners can also be done easily, intuitively and quickly by the user.

The elastic hand pull elements and / or the elastic foot pull elements can differ in particular in their length, depending on whether an elastic hand pull element should be used as the first elastic hand-pulling element on the chest and therefore have to be shorter or whether an elastic hand-pulling element should be used as a first elastic hand-pulling element on the back and must therefore be longer in order to be able to be guided around the first shoulder of the user.

The elastic hand pull elements and / or the elastic foot pull elements can also differ from one another due to their thickness or diameter in order to offer different elastic resistances, taking into account the length of the elastic hand pull element or the elastic foot pull element. In particular, a training device according to the invention can include several, for example first, elastic hand-pulling elements on the chest, which have different diameters and thus different elastic resistances for the same material. These can then optionally be used by the user and exchanged with one another in order to vary or increase the training load. For this purpose, several e.g. first elastic hand pull elements on the chest side can be used jointly and parallel to one another in order to vary the training load accordingly.

The present invention also relates to an upper body element, preferably a vest, for use in a training device as described above, wherein the upper body element has at least one hip element which is designed to be attached to the hip of a user, and wherein the upper body element has at least one first shoulder element which is designed to be attached to a first shoulder of the user, wherein the first shoulder element is designed to be connected on the chest side to a first chest-side elastic hand pull element, and / or wherein the first shoulder element is designed on the back with a first back elastic hand pull element to be connected, and / or wherein the hip element is designed to be connected on the hip side to a first hip-side elastic hand pull element.
