Description

The invention relates to a training device with a suspension for anchoring to a fixed structure, such as a ceiling or a door, according to the specified in the preamble of claim 1. Art.

From the WO 2007/079281 A2 is such a training device known. This training device has a suspension by means of which the training device can be fixed to a fixed structure, such as a ceiling or a door. Fixed, inelastic bands are attached to the suspension, which are connected to handles and / or loops. The handles or slings serve for the admission of the extremities, thereby only the hands or feet. The bands are connected to the suspension so that a rotational movement over a certain angle is possible. The suspension is in any case mounted above the center of gravity and indeed so high that the weight of the training person acts on the bands in the starting position. In this respect, the bands, but also the suspension and the means of attack in the form of handles and loops are dimensioned so as to absorb the resulting forces readily.

The suspension consists of at least one anchor part, which is connected to the fixed structure and another anchor part. When attached to a door, the door forms the further anchor part, which cooperates with the corresponding trained anchor part of the suspension. The other anchor part of the suspension and the door together form a door anchor.

It is also known to adjust the length of the bands to adjust the height of the engaging means to the length of the body of the training person.

Such training devices are versatile and essentially serve to strengthen the trunk muscles. The training person lays down with the trunk, the hands and / or the feet in the attacking means and carries out exercises in this position under the effect of the weight force on the ligaments. The bands thus form a movement limit according to the radius in the directions from the suspension to the attack means. There are rotational movements of the attack means based on example, the ceiling anchor possible and thus a two-dimensional movement of the attack means in a parabolic plane.

In addition to this type of generic training devices and elastic training bands are known. During training, the body's center of gravity of the training person may be above the anchorage. The anchoring can thus be below the body's center of gravity of the training device. In addition, the elastic training bands also have a different training function: The training person works against the elastic training band. Here, the exercise is repeatedly reduced to start the training exercise again and to build up the elasticity of the elastic training band with physical strength, to keep controlled or lowered controlled. The weight of the training person for producing a training load forming starting position plays no role in the elastic bands. These are designed only for pure physical strength. In this respect, these elastic training bands have a completely different training function.

However, both the known exercise equipment and the elastic training bands are limited in terms of the effectiveness of training.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to further develop the training device mentioned in the preamble of claim 1 such that the training effectiveness increases as well as the training options are expanded.

This object is achieved by a training device with a suspension for anchoring to a fixed structure, such as a ceiling or a door, above the center of gravity of the training person with at least two bands and body parts of a training person, at least for extremities, such as hands, feet or the like in that the bands are connected at one end to the suspension and at the other end to an engaging means, characterized in that the bands are elastic and the elasticity of a band allows elastic elongation of the band by at least 50% of the total length, each one the elastic bands are surrounded by a safety jacket, which is gathered, in the untensioned state, the suspension is adjustable in length and flat belts having a width of 0.5 cm to 15 cm, wherein the suspension has at least one anchor part and for selectively receiving a Anchor parts for one n door anchor or a ceiling anchor is formed, wherein the elastic bands are each provided with at least one quick release and the quick release at the, the attacking means associated end is arranged and adapted for connection to the engagement means, wherein the quick release in a fixed ring, in particular metal ring or loop which is connected to the engagement means, wherein the engagement means is formed by a loop and wherein the width of the loop is a multiple of the flat belts and the loop has a width of 5 cm to 30 cm.

The dependent claims form advantageous developments of the invention.

The invention is based on the finding that completely new training stimuli result from the use of elastic bands in the generic training device and the training effectiveness is increased in a simple manner. Here, with the weight of the body, an elongation is generated in the elastic bands - starting position. From the starting position, the tension can be changed oscillatingly by the training person, the elastic bands essentially always remaining under tension. The bias generated by the weight force is a prerequisite for the frequency to be generated during training in the elastic bands. The frequency of the elastic band acts against or with the deflection of the elastic band applied physical strength of the training person. The training exercises are thus started from the bias of the elastic bands produced by the weight of the exerciser.

According to the invention, therefore, the bands are elastic. In a simple way, this not only results in better training effectiveness, but also in a three-dimensional movement of the means of attack during the training exercise. The bands are under an elastic bias.

The elastic preload is continuously changed during the training and it now creates an oscillating movement of the bands - resulting in an oscillating external force on the body - during exercise. As a result, antagonizing muscles are also used to stabilize the body during exercise and make training more effective. The bands are thus primarily not as a movement limitation and definition of the initial state as in the prior art but as an additional burden but also support for the exercises of the training person.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the elasticity of the band allows an elastic extension of the elastic band by at least 10% of the total length, in particular by at least 50% of the total length, preferably by at least 100% of the total length. As a result, different amounts of movement during training can be easily admitted and adjusted with regard to the elasticity of the band.

Preferably, the elastic bands are encased by a safety tube, which is not elastic, but has a length which corresponds to the maximum possible elastic strain of the band. As a result, the safety hose can be used in a simple manner as a limiting of the elastic band. An overuse of the elastic band is thereby avoided.

The safety hose can also be designed as a securing connection between the suspension and engaging means, which maintains the connection even if the elastic band is damaged and is correspondingly dimensioned for this purpose.

In order to be able to make a height adjustment of the attack means in particular, which is necessary due to the different body sizes of training persons, the suspension is adjustable in length. About the length adjustment of the suspension, the height of the means of attack is set. Preferably, a length adjustment device is provided for this purpose, which is arranged adjacent to the elastic band in the suspension. This ensures that, for example, in the mounted state on a ceiling, the length adjustment is further accessible, since it is located at the lower end of the suspension.

The suspension may have flat belts, in particular with a width of 0.5 cm to 15 cm.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the suspension has at least one anchor part.

In this case, the anchor part can be designed as a stop for a door - door anchor. The stop is connected to a belt. The belt runs in the assembled state between door and door frame. In this case, the anchor part on one side of the door and the elastic band and the engagement means are arranged on the other side of the door.

In addition, the anchor member may be formed as a carabiner, which engages in an associated associated with a fixed structure anchor part - ceiling anchor. As a result, a simple mounting and dismounting of the training device to a solid support structure, such as a ceiling, guaranteed.

Preferably, the suspension for selectively receiving an anchor part for a door anchor or a ceiling anchor is formed. This expands the mounting options. The training device can easily be taken along during travel and training in the hotel room by means of door anchors are made possible. At home, the ceiling anchor can then be used again.

To allow easy replacement of the elastic band, the elastic band is provided with at least one quick release. The quick release can on the The suspension associated with the end arranged and designed to connect to the suspension and / or the quick release can be arranged at the engagement means associated end and formed for connection to the engagement means. As a result, the elastic bands can be easily replaced, for example, to match the elasticity with the body weight of the training person. There may be a set of elastic bands that are designed for different body weights and / or body sizes.

In particular, the quick release engages in a fixed ring, in particular a metal ring, which is connected to the suspension or the engagement means. The ring ensures easy connection with the quick release.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the engagement means is formed by a handle or a loop. Depending on the use of the handle offers, for example, if the hands of the training person attack it, or the snare, for example, when the trunk or a limb portion, for. B. lower / thigh, lower / upper arm, or a foot attacks it.

Preferably, two different engagement means are provided at one end of the elastic band, for example a handle and a sling. In this way, on the attacking means on the one hand or a limb portion, for. B. lower / thigh, lower / upper arm, or attack a foot optionally and perform appropriate training exercises.

Preferably, the width of the loop is a multiple of the flat belts, in particular, the loop has a width of 5 cm to 30 cm. This allows the entire body weight over one or both loops are conveniently transferred to the forearms or lower legs, without causing uncomfortable pressure points or even cuts in the training person.
