PATENT OFFICE.

CLASS 30: Health Care.

The subject of the present invention is a gymnastics apparatus for sanitary (health) Purposes in the use of which both the muscles of the arms and legs are put into action and at the same time the muscles of the abdomen, thereby increasing the activity of the abdominal organs , especially the liver and intestines, is significantly increased.

In the accompanying drawings, an embodiment of the gymnastics device is shown, which means:

Fig. Ι longitudinal section,

Fig. 2 front view,

Fig. 3 Basic layout.

As can be seen, this device is made of flat or. Round bars put together, claimed only a small space and can therefore be set up in every room. Preferably it gets a certain one once and for all by attaching it to the wall or the floor Place.

In the upper part of the frame supporting the device, two rollers aa run on a round bar, over which powerful Hanfu. sw ropes are laid, which are provided with weights cc on the back of the pulleys and with the usual leather-covered hand rings dd on the front side.

In the lower part of the frame two rods ee are supported and placed over the same helical springs hh , which are supported at the rear against a fixed rail f and at the front against a rail i which can be moved on the rods e. The rods e are bent over at the front and fastened in the uprights gg in order to prevent the rail i from being pushed by the springs from the rods e.

The sleeves kk are attached to the rail for convenient and easy guidance from i to e when using the apparatus.

The apparatus is used in a sitting position in such a way that the gymnast grasps the hand rings dd with his hands and at the same time places his feet (with strong flexion in the knee joint) against the flat splint i .

While the gymnast is now pulling the weights cc with his hands, with strong flexion in the elbow joint, with the back lying fully stretched on the floor of the feet (or blanket placed underneath), he pushes the flat splint i against the springs hh with his feet at the same time, the lower limbs are vigorously put into action (until they are fully extended), which, depending on the force of the helical springs, is to be calculated at 50, 60, 70, etc. kg. When the muscle action subsides, the body returns to its original position by itself.

With this device, arms and legs are achieved in the simplest possible way are moved at the same time, so that the resistances by simply changing the weights and the spirals can be changed at will, and that for each arm by increasing or decreasing the weight (on one side) and for each leg by changing the relevant spring, maybe by dividing the rail c, a special one Resistance can be created, especially when treating the lateral Curvature of the spine is beneficial.

The abdominal muscles come into great activity through the device, which increases them Peristalsis (worm-like movement) of the intestine and increased work of the liver is achieved, advantages which are particularly important for the treatment of those caused by inadequate Action of the abdominal organs caused obesity.

By using this apparatus, this goal becomes much safer and more secure for the rest of the world Body achieved in a much gentler way, as with all known so-called degreasing cures.

The device can be set up in any room, bedroom or hallway. It does not take up more space than an ordinary chair and can be used by children

as used by adults. For

the former are "of course the" weights

take smaller and the coil springs weaker.

Claims (1)

Patent claim: . A gymnastics apparatus for sanitary purposes, characterized by the arrangement of on the one hand attached, arbitrarily and independently interchangeable springs h , which can be tensioned by means of the gymnast's feet, while at the same time any interchangeable springs are tensioned by pulling the arms or on rollers α Weights attached to running ropes c can be lifted. For this purpose ι sheet of drawings.
