Description

The invention relates to a device ( 10th ) to carry out vibration training by a device user, comprising a rigidly designed base body ( G ) and one with respect to the base body ( G ) flexible, mainly horizontal platform ( 11 ), which is set up to be used by a device user standing, sitting and / or kneeling, and an electrically operated actuator which is set up to operate the platform ( 11 ) into a vibration movement ( V ) with the platform ( 11 ) via the actuator with the base body ( G ) is connected, the platform ( 11 ) several, preferably four, recordings ( 12th ) with support points ( A ) and the recordings ( 12th ) are set up to support feet ( 14a " , 14b " ) of a support structure, each recording ( 12th ) is opened in at least three mutually perpendicular directional axes.

Devices for carrying out vibration training are used, for example, in fitness sports, in rehabilitation or in physiotherapy to strengthen the muscles and to increase balance and coordination.

With statutory devices, vibratory movements of a platform are transmitted to a device user, the vibrations triggering muscle reflexes. The muscle reflexes lead to muscle contractions. These muscle strains ultimately lead to targeted and intensive training.

In addition to conventional devices for carrying out vibration training, which have a platform which can be set into a vibration movement, further-reaching solutions are known from the prior art.

DE20312552 U1 describes a massager with a platform oscillating from a drive with a support for the human body and a handle, which, however, is not connected to the platform and is therefore not set in a vibration movement.

US 3,140,711 A describes a therapeutic exercise device with a vibrating platform on which a person stands. The exercise device also includes two handles, which are not connected to the platform and therefore do not cause them to vibrate.

US7402145 B1 describes a massager with a platform oscillating from a drive. A chair with side handles can be attached to this platform and can be set to vibrate together with the handles.

DE 20 2016 104 715 U1 describes a vibration plate for training a user comprising a housing, an electrically operable actuator unit accommodated in the housing, a surface arranged on the housing and usable directly by a user for training in standing, sitting and / or lying, several feet and several on the housing and / or on surface-mounted receptacles for manually releasable attachment of a separate seat, the receptacles comprising round recesses provided in the housing for receiving feet of the seat. The seat includes two support tubes to which handles are attached by means of a weld seam.

It has been shown that some exercises have to be done while sitting. However, if a seat is attached to the vibration platform, other exercises that are carried out while standing, kneeling or crouching cannot be carried out or can only be carried out to a limited extent. This severely limits the flexibility of the vibration platform.

However, if a seat or chair is simply placed on the vibration platform without being properly fastened, this can lead to dangerous falls during training that are caused by the seat / chair tipping over.

The object of the present invention was to provide a vibration platform that can be used universally and can be used easily and comfortably for sitting exercises as well as for exercises in standing, kneeling or crouching without having to make complex adjustments to the vibration platform . At the same time, sufficient safety is guaranteed and the risk of the seat tipping over is prevented.

According to the invention, this object is achieved with the subject matter of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims.

• - einen starr ausgebildeten Grundkörper (G) und einer bezüglich des Grundkörpers (G) beweglich ausgebildeten, vorwiegend waagerechten Plattform (11), welche dazu eingerichtet ist, von einem Gerätebenutzer im Stehen, Sitzen und/oder Knien benutzt zu werden,
• - einen elektrisch betreibbaren Aktuator, welcher dazu eingerichtet ist, die Plattform (11) in eine Vibrationsbewegung (V) zu versetzen, wobei die Plattform (11) über den Aktuator mit dem Grundkörper (G) verbunden ist,

wobei die Plattform (11) mehrere, vorzugsweise vier, Aufnahmen (12) mit Auflagepunkten (A) aufweist und die Aufnahmen (12) dazu eingerichtet sind, Tragefüße (14a",14b") einer Tragestruktur aufzunehmen, wobei jede Aufnahme (12) in zumindest drei zueinander senkrecht stehende Richtungsachsen nach außen hin geöffnet ist.According to the invention, a device according to the invention comprises ( 10th ) to carry out vibration training by a device user:

• - a rigid body ( G ) and one with respect to the base body ( G ) flexible, mainly horizontal platform ( 11 ), which is set up to be used by a device user while standing, sitting and / or kneeling,
• - an electrically operated actuator, which is set up to move the platform ( 11 ) into a vibration movement ( V ) with the platform ( 11 ) via the actuator with the base body ( G ) connected is,

where the platform ( 11 ) several, preferably four, recordings ( 12th ) with support points ( A ) and the recordings ( 12th ) are set up to support feet ( 14a " , 14b " ) of a support structure, each recording ( 12th ) is open to the outside in at least three mutually perpendicular directional axes.

It has been shown that if the recordings ( 12th ) are opened in at least three mutually perpendicular direction axes, positioning of the support structure, which can include a seat, is considerably simplified compared to a vibration platform in which the receptacle is opened in only one direction axis. In the case of devices which have round recesses provided in the housing for receiving feet of the seat, the feet must be positioned exactly in the recesses.

Since the recordings are closed in three mutually perpendicular directions (i.e. the platform on three mutually perpendicular axes) 11 ) is arranged), the carrying structure can be adequately secured and slipping of the carrying structure is impossible, especially if the individual cutouts are aligned in such a way that the receptacles are each closed in different directions.

In the context of the present invention, a detachable connection is understood to mean a connection that enables non-destructive detachment of different parts. A detachable connection can be distinguished, for example, by gluing or welding. A detachable connection is also to be understood in the present case as a mere laying on or placing on it, in which the connection is made only by means of frictional connection or by means of static friction and / or partial form closure.
