Patent attorney Dipl.-ing. R. Beyer Gneisenaustraße 1 D-4030 Ratingen 6 Gymnastics or Training bench

The innovation relates to a gymnastics or training bench, with a frame that can be divided into several parts preferably padded body support that can be locked in different inclination positions, in particular with a dumbbell rack with telescopic, height-adjustable and lockable tubular elements arranged at the head end of the frame Supports and / or with a so-called curl desk for biceps training, which is at the opposite end of the frame attached vertical tubular supports is arranged, preferably with a foot curler.

Gymnastics and training benches come in a variety of designs previously known, which often differ only in insignificant design elements, but in terms of their constructive effort can have very significant differences with the same training success.

With the previously known training benches, also called gymnastics benches, there is usually one, sometimes two-part, Lying surface is provided, which can be adjusted as a whole or parts thereof separately in different inclination positions to be able to perform the various exercises. The body support is usually held by one Frame made of tubes or profile tubes, which is on the ground rests. There are constructions that are designed to be collapsible. The lying surface is usually through

a middle support, which can be locked in different positions on the frame, held, «/ as an inadequate one Provides stability, especially when tall and heavy people with large weights do their exercises on such training benches. The middle pole generally has a number of several through bores arranged at a distance from one another. through which a locking bolt can be inserted through to achieve the relevant inclination position.

Another disadvantage is that the body supports which can be folded down or adjusted in their inclination rest in their horizontal position on the frame, so that there are sensitive finger bruises can if the body support is accidentally or clumsily lowered or falls. With the big lever arm and the considerable weights that act on such reclining body supports are fingerprints not excluded.

Most of the so-called training and gymnastics benches also have a pair or more in different So-called dumbbell racks arranged in different heights, so that the exerciser can use barbells at different levels Can put down on vertical supports. Diee> e Supports are located at the head end of the frame and are telescopically height-adjustable.

It is also known before, so-called curl desks at the foot end to arrange such gymnastic benches. These are inclined downwards from the person exercising short padded pads on which the practitioner rests one or both arms and one or more weights Weights moved back and forth to work his arm muscles.

The state of the art also includes training benches designed in this way with so-called foot curlers to design. These are angular structures in the side view, which are at least one horizontal Axis can be swiveled back and forth in the vertical plane with the feet. With the angle lever, weights be coupled. This is intended to train abdominal and leg muscles in particular.

The innovation is based on the task, the disadvantages the state-of-the-art gymnastics or training benches according to the generic term of the protection claim 1 to eliminate. In particular, a construction is to be proposed that allows the plurality of inclination positions the body support increased with structurally simple, possibly exchangeable means. At least part of it should be a Modular system be possible.

Based on a gymnastics or training bench according to the generic term of protection claim 1, this object is achieved according to the invention by the characterizing features of protection claim 1 .

With the gymnastics or training bench according to the invention For the first time, it is possible to position the entire device in different inclinations in relation to the ground set at an angle. Of course, if necessary, there is also the option of using the body support or their inclination-adjustable parts - as usual, additional inclination adjustment, so that the previously possible Number of inclinations of the body support is increased quite considerably. This will be the case with the innovation achieved in a simple manner that, for. B. the vertical supports arranged at the head against the ground can be extended steplessly or in steps and locked in the desired position so that the Incline of the body pad changes accordingly.

In the context of the concept of innovation, there are also embodiments in which the vertical supports on the foot side be extended against the ground in order to adjust the inclination of the body support.

Just by extending dc_ z. B. at the head of the training bench provided vertical supports against the floor can do all previously known exercises that normally carried out on an inclined support surface such as abdominal lifts and dumbbell exercises.

The possibility of additionally adjusting the incline of the entire device is provided by the innovation very simple constructive means achieved, namely by

that the already existing vertical outer tubes are designed to be open at their lower end faces, so that the vertical inner supports slidable in them to a certain extent through this mouth through against the Underground, especially against the ground, can be pushed to the device z. B. to jack up one side and thereby to put it at an angle.

In protection claim 2 , a preferred embodiment of the innovation is described.

In the embodiment according to protection claim 3 , the possibility is opened up to connect the spars in one piece with relatively short pieces of pipe, namely sleeves, which z. B. can be done by welding. Such "spar sleeves" are easily interchangeable as accessories, can be conveniently adjusted to the desired height and can be removed again just as easily and quickly when not required.

The spar sleeves can be continuously adjusted and locked in the desired height position in accordance with protection claim 4.In the simplest case, this is done by providing the sleeves with aligned pairs of holes which are orthogonal to their longitudinal axes and which can be aligned with the same holes in the vertical inner support . A suitable locking means, for. B. a split pin, a safety bolt o. The like., Inserted through. However, it is also possible to use a

Clamp connection, e.g. B. clamping screws or clamping eccentric, in order to be able to adjust and lock the stile sleeves on the inner support steplessly.

In protection claim 5, an advantageous embodiment is described.

An embodiment designed with great advantages is explained in protection claim 6. The fact that the spar sleeves are arranged on the inner supports so as to be adjustable in rotation angle about their longitudinal axes results in the possibility of different arrangements of these spar sleeves, which is important for various exercises to be performed on such training benches. For example, the hoimen sleeves can be attached to the inner supports in this way that the spars at the head end of the training bench protrude outwards with their longitudinal axes running parallel to each other, so that so-called "dip" exercises, such as on a bar α , Like., Can be carried out.

In addition, the proposal according to the innovation opens up the possibility of using the spar sleeves z. B. to turn so that their spars run with their longitudinal axes coaxially and directed against one another. In this position they can be an abutment for a tilt-adjustable part of the body support form. Namely, if this is folded up, the spar sleeves can be brought to a height that their Holist under the underside of the body support and support them. In addition, however, can then

the entire device - u / ie was carried out at the beginning - through Extend ζ. B. the head-side supports still tilted altogether vi / ground. The spar sleeves thus meet a multiple purpose, which is inexpensive because namely In this case, the usual central, perforated rods no longer need to be provided, which is already one compared to the construction according to the invention represent a more disadvantageous solution. Since the spars of z. B. head-side spar sleeves from zvi / egg sides reaching under the folded-up body support results a very stable support, so that even tall and heavy people with large weights can do all exercises without any problems be able to perform without the training bench cushioning the side or even bending parts, as is possible with the state-of-the-art constructions with a central rod guide.

The scope of application is further expanded by the embodiment according to protection claim 7 for the spar sleeves. In this embodiment, such spar sleeves carry a so-called curl desk on the foot side. The spar sleeves on the foot side arranged in this way can also be adjusted in the same way as the spar sleeves arranged on the head side. This means that the curling desk can be adjusted in a large number of inclination positions in an equally simple manner by simply pushing the spar sleeve into the most comfortable height position for the user and locking it there. This can also be done

on the foot-side supports with the same means u / ie in the case of the head-side supports (bores, perforations, serrations, Achieve clamping connections, especially clamping eccentrics). It is conceivable that the spar sleeves on the head end without any redesign in the same way for the spar sleeves on the foot side for arranging the curl desk to use. For example, in this case, the spar sleeves can turn to each other so that their Spars run coaxially with their longitudinal axes to one another, but are directed opposite to one another, d. H. each point inwards. With the curl desk, suitable Be connected to projections which can be inserted into the mouth openings of the spars. It makes sense to do this Polygonal projections, e.g. B. square to design and the bars - at least inside - to adapt this shape, so that a rotation lock for the curl desk given is. But it is also conceivable to make the inclination of the curl desk also changeable, for. B. by spur teeth, perforations or clamps. Are z. B. selected spur gears, so the from the curl desk protruding bolt be formed with a suitable spur toothing, which in a corresponding Engage the counterpart of the spars and are pulled into one another by a longitudinal screw, which at the same time forms the spar sleeve locked in their height in relation to the inner support. In addition, the head-side supports can be repositioned on the foot-side will.

In the embodiment according to Schiuitz claim IO can change the stability of the device. For this purpose z. B. at the head end two inner tubes telescopic pulled out of the outer tubes of the frame resting on the floor, with the inner tubes at their free

End are coupled together by a connecting pipe, so that a U-like structure in plan view results.

Due to the U-shaped bracket provided in the embodiment according to claim 11 , it is possible for the user to z. B. to hold with his feet sideways under this bracket to complete certain turning or other gymnastics exercises.

If an embodiment according to protection claim 12 is chosen, then z. B. the person sit down at the foot end on the body support and look for support with their feet under the belt to do certain exercises, e.g. B. to train the building muscles.

The embodiment according to claim 13 can also serve this purpose. This U-shaped bracket can also advantageously change the tilt stability of the device or, if a belt is arranged, for. B. also omitted.

A preferred embodiment describes the protection claim

14. In this embodiment it is ensured that the user cannot get his hands or fingers trapped or even shear off, since in all angular positions, including the horizontal of the body support, a clear space between the frame and the underside of the body support remains in the the user can grip, for example to hold on, without having to fear that he will be seriously injured.

The training area is significantly expanded by the embodiment according to claim 15. Training benches with such foot curlers are already known. However, these are centrally mounted angle levers.

The innovation proposes for the first time an angle lever in the form of a frame, so that the user with his legs can get into the frame from above to perform the exercises. On the sides of the frame you can also arrange large weight plates, for example by having bearing projections on both of the outer faces facing away from each other Ends are lengthened, for example by tubes, whereupon different weights are arranged interchangeably permit. For structural reasons, there is no room for this in the previously known training benches.
