Description

Exercise bench for gymnastic exercises

The invention relates to a training bench for gymnastic exercises made of a frame with optionally adjustable height Feet and an upholstered board arranged on the frame, the frame over at least one narrow side of the upholstered board protrudes and at the protruding end of the frame two spaced apart, optionally padded cross supports are attached, at least one of which is substantially in the plane of the upholstery board is attached.

In a training bench known from practice, which is mainly used to strengthen the abdominal muscles, are the two cross supports are fixed to the frame. One of the cross supports is essentially in the plane of the Upholstered board, while the other cross support below the first cross support on the associated foot of the frame is attached so that a person lying on the upholstered board has their thighs on the upper cross support and can reach with your feet behind the lower cross support. By raising and lowering the upper body the abdominal muscles can then be trained. These are the possible uses of this well-known training bench but already essentially exhausted - other exercises Ξlud kaUu possible.

The object of the invention is to substantially improve the training possibilities of such a training bench with simple means to expand.

This task is the beginning with a training bench described type solved in that a pivot arm is mounted at the protruding end of the frame, which the other cross support carries.

The swivel arm carrying the other support makes the training possibilities of this training bench essential extended * So, for example, leg muscles can be trained,

because the lower legs of the ι lying on the training bench

Person can be moved even if the feet are behind the lower cross support. The training work can be reinforced if the swivel arm and / or the cross supports are loaded with weights. Appropriate should the swivel arm around a parallel to the cross supports

Axis can be pivoted.

It is advantageous if the pivot axis is mounted in the vicinity of the cross support fixed to the frame in such a way that when on S the upper, frame-fixed cross support supported thighs the pivot axis of the pivot arm with the knee steering axis is essentially aligned. This avoids unfavorable stresses on the knee joints.

Abdominal muscles can be trained in the manner described if the swivel arm can be locked in at least one swivel position. The swivel bearing of the Swivel arm have a latch. The locking can also be done in other ways.

The length of the swivel arm corresponds essentially to the normal length of a lower leg, and the cross supports are arranged at the free end of the swivel arm.

Further possible uses arise when the swivel arm has a connection for a rudder arm which can be rigidly connected to it and which points away from the swivel arm is and carries a crossbar at its free end. With such equipment, the training bench can also can be used to train the leg muscles when the person is lying prone on the upholstered board and with the lower legs the crossbar of the trunk

so poorly behind. Furthermore, the rowing arm can be used to train arm and back muscles, and both in a prone position, in a supine position or in a sitting position of the person exercising. The connection for the rudder arm should be located near the pivot bearing. A preferred embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the rudder arm is aligned essentially radially to the pivot bearing and has a bend for the connection.

The result is a multitude of options for training and strengthening arm, leg, abdominal and back muscles with a relatively simple structure of the training bench. Additional possibilities then arise when the training bench is combined in a manner known per se with a support for a dumbbell which can easily be arranged in the area of the end of the training bench facing away from the swivel arm.

In the following an embodiment of the invention shown in the drawing will be explained; show it:

a training bench,

without rudder arm.

First of all, a frame belongs to the training bench shown ί 30 with a bench running lengthways Carrier 1 and two feet 2, 3 pivotally mounted thereon · The feet 2, 3 are in the direction of the arrows 4, 5 against the Underside of the support 1 foldable so that the training bench can be accommodated in a space-saving manner. On the carrier 1 there is a two-part Polstar board 6, 7, the shorter section 6 of which is firmly attached to the carrier 1

is, while the longer section 7 in the direction of the Arrow 8 can be pivoted up and locked in a raised pivot position. A corresponding support, which holds the longer section 7 in the swiveled-up position is not shown.

The carrier 1, which in the embodiment shown consists of a square tube which is arranged approximately in the center of the upholstered board 6, 7, extends beyond the shorter section 6 of the upholstered board and is bent upwards there. At the bent end 9 of the carrier 1, a cross support 10 is first attached at a shorter distance from the upholstered board 6, the width of which _{corresponds approximately to the width of the upholstered board 6 P} 7. The cross support 10 can be padded.

At the free end of the carrier 1 there is a swivel bearing 11, which is only indicated, for a swivel arm 12. The swivel axis of the pivot bearing 11 extends essentially parallel to the cross support 10. The pivot bearing 11 is relative for the cross support 10 arranged in such a way that the knee joints of a person lying on the upholstered board 6, 7, the thighs of which are trimmed on the cross support 10, are essentially aligned with the pivot bearing 10. - Not it is shown that the pivot arm 12 can be locked in at least one pivot position and that for this purpose the pivot bearing 11 may have a latch.

The swivel arm 12 carries at its free end a further cross support 13 'which can also be padded and its Have ends of pins 14, 15 for receiving weights. If the pivot arm 12 or its pivot bearing 11 is not locked, the pivot arm 12 can in the direction of the double arrow 16 are moved back and forth. 35

In addition, the swivel arm 12 in the vicinity of the swivel bearing 11 has a connection 17 for a rudder & ra 18, which with
