Exercise device

The invention relates to an exercise device that has a stand has, the two provided for the hands, movably guided Has handles and two provided for the feet, movably guided foot levers or kicks.

Well-known training devices either only serve to develop the leg muscles, e.g. the so-called stationary home bicycles, or only for the development of the arm muscles, e.g. the so-called home rowing machines. In addition, with these, Equipment can only be exercised while seated, which greatly affects diaphragmatic breathing. Other devices, which di <i above disadvantages do not have, but require a great deal of technical effort!

The object of the present invention is against this

in it, a training device of the type in question here to create, with the use of which the whole body is challenged and that despite everything simple in structure and is secure in the puncture.

For the above purpose it is provided according to the invention in the new arrangement that the handles are carried by hand levers I and the foot levers or footsteps have pedals, that the hand levers and the foot levers are articulated with their end facing away from the actuating end on a stand and that the hand levers and the foot levers are articulated outside the actuating ends and their articulation points with the free end of the piston rod of a piston-cylinder unit acting as a pneumatic shock absorber, for example, the cylinder of which is articulated on the stand or frame of the device. Here, on the one hand, the two hand levers and, on the other hand, the two foot levers can expediently be articulated on the stand so as to be pivotable about a common axis, and expediently

I the hand levers and the foot levers are each hinged with their middle areaj to the free ends of the associated piston rod. The arrangement may be such, for example, that the forces acting as a pneumatic shock absorber piston-cylinder units each act in the manner of a simple or hydropneumatic gas spring, the application, however, can also be taken as _v that for attenuating the one hand the movement of the hand levers associated piston eg when pulling the piston rod out of the cylinder and on the other hand the movement of the foot levers

assigned piston when pushing in the piston rod in the cylinder. Buffering of the usual for pneumatic cylinders Art are provided, the arrangement can finally also be made, for example, that the hand lever and / or the foot lever are positively coupled in opposite directions, preferably with the foot levers or footsteps and / or the hand levers in each case a pneumatic or hydraulic working cylinder linked to the stand or the frame via the one guided in this Piston shafts are articulated, e.g. the pistons in each are assigned to a pair of levers (hand lever or foot lever pair) two working cylinders can be performed to execute opposing movements and where the Working cylinder each with a container for receiving the pressure medium supply contained in the cylinder space on one of the piston sides are in connection, from which the medium returns to the cylinder space during the retrograde movement. It is particularly useful if each one pair of handles assigned two working cylinders via a connecting line are connected to each other in such a way that the medium displaced by the piston of the one cylinder going into can pass over the other cylinder and vice versa, e.g. in the connecting line between the two working cylinders a throttle element, e.g. a throttle valve or a throttle screw is switched.

The training device according to the invention is based on the natural, stretched out posture of the human body and simulates the circulation-promoting and pulse-increasing climbing movement * like her

The arrangement works as it is known with gas springs or hydropneumatic springs, of course with a corresponding change of structural details in adaptation to the respective structural conditions. Thus, for example, a piston-cylinder unit is shown in FIG. 2, which acts as a hydropneumatic spring on compression, where it is expedient, as is the case with the piston-cylinder units, which are assigned to the foot levers. In the case of units that are assigned to the hand levers, the arrangement is roughly reversed.

In preferred embodiments of the subject matter of the invention the hand levers and / or the foot levers are forcibly coupled in such a way that they can be moved in opposite directions ^ The arrangement can also be meet so that an opposing forced coupling between the each left lever and / or the respective right lever takes place.
