USE/ADVANTAGE - The exercise machine gives a free lateral movement to the skier, and enables the skier to swing as though doing downhill skiing at quite a fast speed.

Description

The invention relates to a training device for pi Most running sport, especially skiing, with which along a floor track with a conveyor a single ner athlete or several at the same time with an ab speed should be moved that swings and other exercises performed similar to a downhill run or can be practiced.

For this purpose, a sponsor points for the respective ski skier or skier on at least one holder which the conveying power is transferred to the skier.

DE-OS 28 21 282 is a device for training training of skiers, skaters or the like. announced been on a circuit with rod-shaped holders points to which the athlete clings with both hands  can hold. This makes the skier practically on one single lane set so that it resembles side turns like in a downhill run.

The situation is similar with that of the European Pa tent registration 00 90 711 training device, where the skier is so suspended that falls are avoided, which at the same time a lateral veering out the predetermined lane prevented. Besides, here is no drive is provided for the skier, which is why this Training device is only suitable in sloping terrain.

There are also, for example by DE-OSen 26 05 683, 25 53 491 and 26 54 444 drag lifts became known, which is a flexible connection between the sponsor and show the skier, but by their very nature is that the skier should be on a single, line-shaped track is set to hazards too avoid.

The invention has for its object a training to create the direction of the type mentioned, the one as possible free lateral mobility of the skier in particular ensures that the skier similar to an Ab running at a relatively high speed Can make turns.

To achieve this object, the invention provides that the career apart from a medium one, in width one Ski track width corresponding running zone on both sides Has widenings that are many times wider than the middle lere running zone and with this a common career forms, on which both straight-ahead driving and skiing possible with relatively wide sweeping side turns is. The respective holder is at a distance above it lying runner of the conveyor connected, the runner  essentially secured against lateral movements while the holder is in a middle position in which he lies in a common vertical plane with the runner, transverse to the conveying direction laterally on both sides, in the we noticeably across the entire width of the career, move freely Lich is arranged. This free, flexible mobility of the Halters is especially continuous during its possibly There is constant movement in the conveying direction. The career, whose middle running zone is also roughly in the vertical plane of the runner is appropriate over most or even their entire length over their entire length, left and width on the right beyond the middle running zone of equipment, such as supports for the conveyor device, free. This can be done without any risk Skiing exercises are carried out over a wide range. The The total width of the career is expediently at least 1.5 up to 5 m, in particular about 3 m.

It is conceivable that the conveyor is straight with an on and one end for the entry and exit of the Training skiers, however, result in saving space the construction even more intensive training possible if the conveyor runs along an endless slope or a circular slope is arranged, in which of the round slope enclosed area a facility for the stay stop a supervisor, for example a raised flat form can be arranged, from which all at the Training facility exercising athletes from a single Person can be viewed and monitored.

Is the respective holder - based on the respective barrel web sections or a horizontal line - without significant changes change in the direction of the conveying force acting on it Sufficiently flexible in the vertical direction, so the Career not only in the transverse direction, but also in the longitudinal direction over approximately elnen or meh  more and more rising and falling career profiles who have an even more intense workout, like in uneven Terrain. In cross section transverse to the running direction may the track be flat or concave instead or in addition ve, convex, wavy or similar profiles on both same respective longitudinal track section as well sequentially. Curves of the career path through Curves of the conveyor are determined are appropriate on their The outside of the curve is too high, so that they too can be driven at a relatively high speed. The Conveyor speed is expediently over 10 km / h and can up to 30 km / h or more, the För which runs at constant speed while between facilities can be provided to the conveyor and the holder can, in contrast, accelerations and decelerations enable.

The device according to the invention can both under free Heaven in the field as well as under the roof, for example in one Hall. It is particularly suitable there for, they in the area of sports facilities, for example around a Arrange hall building around. Furthermore, the barrel track formed by natural terrain or in the form of a Plastic treads arranged on natural terrain for example in the direction of conveyance Has sections with a gradient and those with a gradient. The Career can also be a sufficiently thick tread from snow.

A particularly advantageous development of the invention object is that at least one holder one Holding part which is designed so that it the arm freedom of the athlete and not with the Hands of the athlete must be held. Such a stop part that only expediently attacks the torso of the athlete,  can, for example, a buttock holder, a torso holder Shoulder holder, an armpit holder or any combination nation of such holders.

So that the connection between the holder and the conveyor on the one hand a reliable and possibly continuous transfer carrying the conveyor force and on the other hand a high side load guaranteed mobility, the respective holder is purpose moderately via at least one pressure organ or at least one Tension member connected to the runner. A combination too at least one pressure element with at least one tension element can be an advantageous connection. The respective Pressure element or the respective tension element is advantageous Formed by a connecting rod, the opposite the keeper, the runner, or both is expediently articulated about at least one axis, so that both good leadership properties and high Mobility is given.

In a preferred embodiment, the connection between the respective holder and the associated runner at least two hinged together in the longitudinal direction eating limbs, where appropriate all the limbs laterally and are relatively freely movable in the vertical direction. In this respect, a connection can be provided in its Longitudinal direction is divided into two or more and / or which has two or more adjacent links, assigned to the same longitudinal section of the connection are not.

For example, the connection is essentially only through at least two Ver binding rods formed, so they can spring back be articulated so that they are under promotion load at an angle to each other and therefore an off Form equal facility for cases in which the  Running speed of the athlete from the conveyor speed of the conveyor differs. But such an effect can can also be achieved if a single connecting rod is designed as a resilient bending rod. Furthermore, a longitudinal section of the connection through a connection stab and another, for example the one assigned to the holder nete longitudinal section through a flexible traction element, such as a Rope be formed, which is convenient with the connecting rod is connected via a self-winding pulley, that it will be shortened or lengthened depending on the load.

To compensate for speed differences between the Skier or the keeper on the one hand and the sponsor on the other on the other hand, the latter can also have limited longitudinal guidance have on the runner in and against the conveying direction is free to move. For example, on a pull rope of the Conveyor a longitudinal guide to which the Runner in the longitudinal direction of the pull rope between two ends positions is freely movable.

The respective holder can be towed or towed Be trained holder. But it is also more advantageous Possible way to train the holder as a pushed holder the, in which case the connection expediently by at least one pressure rod or possibly several pressure rods ge is formed, which are connected to a frame.

The holder and its connection to the conveyor can be in front partially be designed so that the body weight partially absorbed by the athlete and thereby ent is burdened. Furthermore, the connection of the Hal is expedient ters with the athlete or the connection of the holder to the Connection to the rotor provided so that easy loosening of the athlete from the sponsor is possible at any time. This can be achieved, for example, by the athlete easily get out of the holder or manually one  Can release clutch with which the holder of its Ver bond with the conveyor is separated. Should the connection of the holder with the conveyor or the runner always taut are held, this connection is in its longitudinal direction tion expedient resiliently variable in length, the spring force is adjustable.

The training device according to the invention can both with normal snow skis as well, especially in the case of a Plastic covering, to be used with edgeless skis. Furthermore, the use of special skis is conceivable the one that is slightly convex in cross-section, for example Have treads. Furthermore, training skis for Cross-country skiing can be used which is appropriate instead of the glide surface with several small plastic rollers. In this case, the career could be instead of a glide capable covering with a roller covering made of wood, concrete or the like be provided.

The training device 1 according to FIGS. 1 to 3 has a conveying device 3 assigned to a track 2 for athletes 4 who ultimately drive at a distance from one another. The conveyor device 3 is provided with a completely bottom-free conveyor 6 which is several meters above the track and which has an endless traction rope driven by a drive 5 and, if appropriate, an associated, directly adjacent supporting rope. Runners 8 are fastened at a distance one behind the other on the traction rope, each of which is provided with a holder 10 for a single skier 4 via a downwardly projecting connection 9 , which is moved in the conveying direction arrow 11 on a rotating course.

The conveyor 3 has at a distance one behind the other side adjacent to the inner edge of the race 2 stationary supports 12, which each have a transversely at the upper end outwardly projecting above the track 2 boom. 13 Each boom 13 is provided in the region of its end with a cable guide 14 , on which the traction cable 7 is secured against falling.

The track 2 has a central, substantially verti cal lying below the traction cable 7 tread 16 , the width of which corresponds approximately to the width of a ski track from two skis and compared to which the track 2 is several times wider. The track 2 forms two or more equally sensible or oppositely curved curves 17 over which the track 2 is carried out essentially over the entire width. Between two curves 17 lying at the ends of the entire system, the track 2 forms two track sections 18 with opposite conveying direction. One or both raceway sections 18 can be straight or multiple, for example curved in a serpentine shape. The pull cable 7 is expediently so ver that it lies substantially over the entire length of the track 2 in the middle of its width. According to FIG. 4, in which an embodiment that is modified compared to FIG. 1 is shown, the area between the track sections 18 can be increased at least in partial areas compared to the level of the tracks and form, for example, a platform 19 for a supervisor.

Referring to FIG. 3, the track 2 in the longitudinal direction thereof except approximately flat portions including those, which Ge falls or have slope, said inclines and declines wel lenförmig can merge into one another. If adjacent supports 12 are arranged at approximately the same level and the level of the raceway 2 changes between these supports, at least one further cable guide 15 can be provided between these supports so that the traction cable 7 is at least approximately parallel to the raceway 2 even in the areas lies in which it has different heights. The additional cable guide 15 does not have to be arranged on a separate support, but can or the like on a lying freely above the ground, the two adjacent supports 12 connecting carrier. be arranged.

As shown in FIG. 4, the raceway 2 can advantageously be of concave cross-section, for example, in a cross-section. However, it can also be flat over its entire width according to FIG. 5 or curved convexly according to FIG. 6. In Fig. 7 a track profile is shown, which has a central, concave tread and on both sides of it on closing, sloping flanks that merge convexly rounded into the central tread. In the case of the embodiment according to FIG. 8, on the other hand, the side flanks merge sharply into the side edge regions of the middle tread. While in the embodiments according to FIGS. 7 and 8 the middle track strip is only defined by a single curvature, in the embodiment according to FIG. 9 it is formed by two approximately flat strip sections which merge into each other at an obtuse angle. Fig. 10 shows that, especially in the curve area, the track can also be higher on one side, especially the outside of the curve, than on the other side. According to FIG. 10, the raised strip section of the track profile runs out relatively flat outwards, according to FIG. 11 it continues to rise, namely approximately to a vertical position, so that a curve is formed which can be traversed at a very high speed.

In Fig. 12 is a connection 9 a between a rotor 8 a and a holder, not shown, which can be a handle, for example. This connection 9 a has a connection with the rotor 8 a via a connecting link 23 to which connecting section, which is expediently formed by an elastically resilient connecting rod 24 and takes up about half the length of the entire connection. At its end remote from the traction rope 7 a, the connec tion section 20 is connected via an intermediate member 22 to a wide ren connecting section 21 , which is expediently formed by a traction element 25 in the form of, for example, a rope and in the state of use essentially the second half of the length of the Compound 9 a takes. The intermediate member 22 is designed so that it can shorten the entire length of the connec tion 9 a by spring force and thereby the connec tion 9 a can keep relatively taut or ge stretches in any state. For this purpose, the intermediate member 22 is designed as a pulley 26 for winding up the end of the pulling element remote from the holder by spring force. The rope roll 26 is mounted on the associated end of the connecting rod 24 . The connecting member 23 is formed by a spring-loaded joint 27 , through which the connection 9 a is pivoted when released resiliently upwards under the traction cable 7 a into an approximately horizontal position, in which the connecting rod 24 protrudes approximately in the conveying direction. The tension member 25 is wound up only so far that it still hangs down freely on the pulley and can be reached at any time with a stretched arm from the running track. This results in a very advantageous non-use position of the holder or the connection.

In the embodiment according to FIGS. 13 and 15 both Ver are bonding portions by resiliently elastic, b in Wesent union rectilinear connecting rods 24, 25 are formed b, wherein said intermediate member is formed between the connecting rods by a spring-loaded joint 26 b. The two joints 26 b, 27 b are loaded so that the connecting rod 24 b in the use position or under a conveying load is inclined to the front and is therefore also loaded as a pressure rod. The holder 10 b carrying connecting rod 25 b, on the other hand, is sloping against the direction of inclination towards the rear, so that a knee joint lever is formed, the effective length of which can change automatically depending on the load due to the greater or lesser extension acts on the connec tion 9 b by the skier 4 . As shown in Fig. 15, he allows the joint 27 b at the same time a side swing out of the connection 9 b from its vertical position to both sides over a pivoting angle of at least 90 °, resulting in a type of pendulum suspension of the holder 10 b or the Compound 9 b forming, multi-membered tow bar.

As shown in FIG. 14, the connecting rod 24 c can also fall obliquely backwards under the conveying load against the conveying direction, so that the two connecting rods 24 c, 25 c are then not at an acute angle, as shown in FIG. 13, but at an obtuse angle to one another lie. In Nichtge consumption-position of the connecting rod 24 12 works c as in the off guide die according to Fig. Forwardly and upwardly, while the connecting rod 25 c rod against the underside of the link 24 c resiliently expanded and then is for this at an acute angle. In Fig. 14 is dash-dotted indicates that the under load, the support not shown holder carrying connecting rod 25 c can be pivoted out of an approximately horizontal position up and down resiliently, which then changes the height of the holder.

As shows FIG. 16, the holder 10 constitutes d expediently be that the skier 4 has completely free his arms and hands, and can therefore use for instance poles. The force application point of the connection 9 d on the skier 4 is advantageously approximately in or symmetrical to its vertical central plane, the force application point is advantageously provided between the pelvis and chest height. In the case of a towed training corresponding to FIG. 16, the compound is 9 d d connected to the front of the skier 4 with the holder 10. This is in the illustrated embodiment, for example, formed by a sleeve made of textile or similarly flexible material, which can be designed in the manner of a buttock sleeve, so that the skier 4 has great freedom of movement with both the trunk and the legs.

In the embodiment according to FIG. 17, pushing support of the skier is provided, the connection 9 e being essentially designed as an articulated push rod. Under conveyor load, the connecting rod 24 e is arranged sloping forward, the connecting rod 25 e adjoining in a position in which it is closer to the horizontal position. In this case, in particular, a slide is provided as the holder 10 e, which is designed as an essentially dimensionally stable, open front hip shell and rests against the back of the skier and laterally therefrom. The skier can easily detach himself from this holder 10 e.

In the embodiment according to FIG. 18, the connection 9 f is essentially formed by a single connecting rod 24 f, which is expediently formed by a glass fiber rod or the like. The connecting rod 24 f, which is rigidly connected to the runner 8 f, can be prestressed by bending, for which purpose a tendon 28 in the form of, for example, a length-adjustable rope is provided which cuts the connecting rod 24 f on both sides of its curved section in the manner of a tendon connects. The tendon 28 is articulated at a distance from the holder on the connecting rod 24 f, so that its free end is straight.

In the embodiment according to FIG. 19, the holder 10 g is formed by a frame which also forms the connection 9 g at the same time. In a common joint 27 g of Läu fers 8 g two substantially identical connecting rods 24 g are articulated, which move away from each other at an acute angle transversely to the conveying direction. At the lower ends of the connecting rods 24 g, another connecting rod 25 g is articulated. The lower ends of these connecting rods 25 g are connected with the interposition of joints 29 via a cross beam 30 together, the g as well as the connection bars 25 is suitable as a holder 10 g or as a handle bar. The connecting member 9 g formed thereby or the holder 10 g can be spread up in the manner of a diamond frame, as a result of which the distance between the holder 10 g and the runner 8 g changes.

As Fig. 20 shows, the rotor 8 can h even compared with the pull rope 7 h as regards the conveyor driving detachably be that with respect to this it is at least over a partial length of the traction cable 7 h freely longitudinally movable, but is carried along promoting in at least one position. In the illustrated embodiment, a longitudinal guide in the form of a rope section is attached to the traction rope 7 h, the two ends of which are fixed at a distance from one another on the traction rope in such a way that the longitudinal guide 31 has a certain sag. The runner is guided for 8 hours on the longitudinal guide 31 . In the case of För derermitnahme the runner is 8 h in the area of the rear end of the longitudinal guide 31 , so that it is taken along by stop. If the skier 4 moves faster in the conveying direction than the traction rope 7 h, the skier can release himself from his stop position 8 h and move freely with the holder 10 h against the traction rope 7 h. It is then damped or softly caught in a front end position. With a correspondingly large sag of the longitudinal guide 31 , the conveyance is not carried out by a stop, but rather in that the rear end portion of the longitudinal guide 31 , which adjoins the runner 8 h to the rear, is so steep it says that he takes the runner for 8 hours. This results in 8 h in both end positions of the runner said soft catch. The connection 9 h can be attached to the runner in the bearing axis of the runner forming the runner 8 h in such a way that, as indicated by dash-dotted lines, it can oscillate freely, thereby increasing the free mobility of the skier 4 even further.

In the embodiment according to FIG. 21, the connection 9 i is formed by a single connecting rod 24 i, which in the unloaded position is approximately vertically freely hanging down and is connected to the holder 10 i approximately at shoulder height and at the back of the skier. This holder 10 i is designed in this case as a halter with which a certain seat weight of the skier can be accommodated, similarly to the embodiments according to FIGS. 16 and 20. In the case of the design according to FIG. 20, the halter cuff forming the holder 10 h is connected at the level of the lumbar vertebrae on the back to the connection 9 h. In the embodiments according to FIGS. 20 and 21, a joint 26 i is expediently seen between the connection 9 h or 9 i and the holder 10 h or 10 i.

In Fig. 21, a manually operable release device 32 is shown, with which the skier 4 including the holder 10 i can detach from the connection 9 i in that he releases a clutch 33 by actuating a release handle 34 , which by the joint 26 i can be formed. This coupling is expediently designed as a plug-in coupling, so that the skier 4 can connect to the conveying device at any time after he has put on the holder 10 i.

The holder 10 i according to FIGS. 21 to 23 is essentially formed by interconnected shoulder, back and thigh or seat belts, by means of which the holder 10 i is securely fixed with respect to the skier. The skier can use ski poles unhindered.

Similar advantages also provides the formation of FIGS. 24 and 25, according to which the holder 10 is formed k as underarm fork with two fork arms which can be placed under the back of the shoulders of the skier and whose front ends are angled upward. In the rear loading area, the holder 10 k forms a bow-shaped shoulder rest, which is also provided for connection to the connection. The skier can relieve his weight by being supported on the fork arms 35 .

The holder 10 m Fig mutandis. 26 has, instead of the fork arms upper arm-rings 35 m, in which the upper arms are located, so that an even better securing of the holder is ensured runner relative to the ski.

The situation is similar in the case of the holder 10 n according to FIG. 27, which is designed in the manner of a vest and, for example, has a connecting element, such as a ring, at the chest height on the front for coupling to the connection to the runner.

The holder 10 p shown in FIGS. 28 and 29, which also as a substantially dimensionally stable, but sufficiently resilient nachgieblger molded body is formed, has in addition to the upper arm-rings 35 still n is a fuse clip 36 in the form of an abdominal clasp on which the skier in Belly height encloses at the front. This locking clip 36 is appropriately divided on the front, so that two free against each other clasp arms are formed, which, like the rings 35 n can be sprung apart, so that the skier can easily pull the holder 10 p and also pull it out again. Between the holder 10 p and the connection 9 p Ver a joint 26 p is suitably arranged, which can be provided, for example, between an upstanding arm base of the holder 10 p and a rope pulley 37 which resiliently rolls up a connecting cable. In the area of the upper end of the connection 9 p, a further joint 27 p is provided between the connection 9 p and the runner 8 p.

The different trainings of the career, the connection and the holder can also each other with one another single career, single connection or one zigen holder can be combined or it can accordingly different connections and holders on one and the same ben training facility may be provided. In the drawings are the same reference for corresponding parts characters, but with different letter indices applies, which is why all parts of the description are appropriate for everyone Figures apply.
