Description

The invention relates to a training device for boxing, with the help of which a competitive training of responsiveness, footwork, accuracy and fitness can be achieved.

Known training equipment, such as a sandbag, platform pear, boxing ball, training manikin and the like, as well as the use of the hand pads worn by the trainer allow intensive training, but they all have the disadvantage that they are passive and the training boxer does not have to pay attention to counter-reactions in the form of blows . A large number of training devices are known from the patent literature, with which attempts are made to enable training close to competition with mechanically movable components. DD-WP 17 178 describes a device that works with a shaft rotating around a vertical axis.

The DD-WP 46 210 shows a device that has encircling defense arms that serve to cover a target.

Another training device described in DD-WP 128 684 has striking arms, but these do not perform typical arm movements and must also be moved by hand.

Furthermore, a toy figure imitating a boxing athlete is known, which according to DE-OS 2640 637 has a telescopically extending beating arm. Due to the type of stroke, which is not typical for boxing, such a mechanism is also not suitable for boxing training.

In summary, it is stated that only known endurance and impact exercises can be carried out with the known devices.

The invention has for its object to provide a boxing training device with a movable frame and a training figure, which due to its mobility represents an active, competitive boxing partner for the athlete to be trained, so that the athlete's ability to coordinate, the stroke parameters, such as speed, accuracy, to train the condition, the agility, the agility, the ability to react, the defense ability in attack and in counterattack combined and which also guarantees a technical-tactical attitude to the opponent to be expected in competition.

According to the invention the object is achieved in that the training figure is adjustable in the horizontal and vertical axes and via the with a travel-dependent encoder for a leaf spring provided with a stroke counter on the horizontal plane movable base, which two individually according to a set program or by radio control actuated drive wheels and at least one non-driven freely movable swivel wheel is movably attached.

The power is expediently transmitted from the drive motors to the drive wheels via a friction wheel clutch with a backstop or a braking device. In the sense of the invention, it is furthermore the case that the leaf spring is connected to a shock absorber in order to dampen the spring vibrations which arise. It is also advantageous if the encoder for the stroke counter device is fastened in an adjustable manner to the base frame or to a swivel unit for the spring mount, depending on the impact force to be expected.

According to a further embodiment of the invention, striking arms which are movable on one or both sides are arranged on the trunk of the boxing training device and consist of components which can move relative to one another, the shoulder part and a gear which is formed from the upper arm and the forearm with the striking hand. In a further advantageous embodiment of this embodiment variant, it has proven to be advantageous if the fuselage and the striking arms are arranged on a base plate, a holding plate supporting the striking arm being arranged around the horizontal parallel to the plane of the base plate by means of a joint on the shoulder part and the shoulder part around the Horizontal is articulated in the direction of the normal of the base plate to an intermediate plate which is connected to the base plate so as to be rotatable about the vertical.

Thus, a joint is arranged with the axis of rotation lying horizontally in the direction parallel to the plane of the base plate between the shoulder part and the holding plate. The rotation of the holding plate is locked by releasing one Spring realized. This preferably biased spring is arranged between the shoulder part and the holding plate. After relaxation, this spring can be tensioned again by means of a drive arranged in the upper arm or in the shoulder part, so that the holding plate is pivoted back about the axis of the joint against the direction of action into the locking position. This makes it possible to specify the vertical direction of the stroke.

To implement a controllable rotary movement about the horizontal in the direction of the normal of the base plate of the shoulder part from the shoulder plane, springs, locking elements and drives can be arranged in the shoulder part and / or trunk.

This makes it possible to specify the stroke direction not only in the vertical, but also in the horizontal.

According to a further feature of the invention, the upper arm arranged on the holding plate consists of one or more parallel articulated quadrilaterals, the lower end of the rigid forearm carrying the striking hand being fastened to the non-fixed pivot joints. The gear, consisting of the upper and lower arm, is dimensioned so that it ensures a straight movement of the striking hand when the nodes of the quadrilateral joint (s) are displaced. This creates the "straight stroke" movement typical of boxing.

The realization of the straight stroke is forced due to the displacement of the nodes of the parallel quadrilaterals in the upper arm against one another by means of one or more springs, which preferably act in the area of the non-adjacent nodes, by releasing the locking of the tensioned spring. With the help of a drive preferably arranged in the upper arm, contrary to the above-mentioned. Spring the quadrilateral to the locking position, d. H. Ready to strike position moved back. With a suitable choice of drive it is possible that several drives are replaced by only one central drive.

According to a further characteristic of the invention, the base plate with the fuselage arranged thereon can be rotated through 90 ° about the vertical by means of a drive.

All movements of the striking hand that have been described individually so far can be coupled to one another in that several locking positions are released simultaneously and other drive parts remain in the locked or unlocked position. The drives are preferably controlled remotely via radio, cable or the like. The control can also be carried out in connection with fixed or freely programmable data storage units.

The boxing athlete's responsiveness to counter-strikes by the opponent can be trained with this boxing training device close to competition. The coach can have a direct influence on close goals. So it is made possible by the boxing training device to adjust the behavior of the boxing athlete to the peculiarities of a particular opponent.

The invention will be described in more detail below using two exemplary embodiments.

On a base frame 1, the training figure 2 can be adjusted as a half-puppet with a head and two arms, by means of a height adjustment 3 and a horizontal adjustment 4, movably mounted on the, by means of a shock absorber ₅ , damped leaf spring 6. The base frame 1 is provided with two individual drive wheels 7 and a freely movable swivel wheel 8. The drive wheels 7 are each driven via a friction wheel clutch 9 by motors 11 with worm gears fed by an accumulator 10. The motors 11 are optionally switched on via a control unit 12 by means of a program roller or remote control. The use of self-locking worm gears prevents the drive wheels 7 from being moved by external force. In addition to the swivel wheel 8, further freely movable wheels can be arranged, which automatically adjust themselves in the direction of travel determined by the drive wheels 7. The speeds and the direction of rotation of the electric motors 4 can be controlled independently of one another by a built-in program device (not shown) or by remote transmission of signals. This ensures that the boxing training device can perform competitive movements in the smallest space such as dodging, forward and backward movement, turning around its own axis, driving straight ahead and in a circle at different speeds. The number of hits can be recorded with the hardness according to the training program and can be digitally displayed by an electronic counter 15 by means of the encoder 14 for the stroke counting device which is adjustably mounted on a swivel unit 13. The battery 10 can be recharged during the training breaks by a charging device. In addition, the motors 4 can also be fed via the network. The base frame 1 is by a panel 16 completely covered.

According to another embodiment variant, a base plate 17 is used as a receptacle for the training figure, to which two striking arms are attached. The striking arm consists of the upper arm, the forearm 18 and a striking hand 19 arranged on the forearm 18. The upper arm of the striking arm is designed as a quadrilateral joint 20 such that a straight line movement is achieved when the quadrilateral joint 20 is moved by a certain amount at the striking hand 19 . The execution of the blow is achieved by relaxing a spring 21. The spring 21 is tensioned by means of the drive M 3, in that the four-bar linkage 20 is brought into the position E, the striking hand 19 drawn in, by means of a cable 22 or linkage and tensioning lever 23. After tensioning, the tensioning lever 23 remains in the E position, retracted striking hand 19. When the drive M 3 is switched on, the tensioning lever 23 is rotated out of the E position by a driver 8 of the M 3 drive and, due to the force of the spring 21, freewheels in position A, extended striking hand 19.

The drive M 3 continues to run, the driver 24 tensioning the spring 21 again so that the readiness for striking is restored. The four-bar linkage 20 is connected to a holding plate 25 and is pivotably supported by a link 26. In the position R, position to achieve a fuselage hit, the drive M 2 fuselage hits are executed. After turning the drive M 2 to position K, position to achieve a head hit, and the associated pivoting of the holding plate 25 about the joint 26 19 head hits are carried out with subsequent straight movement of the striking hand ...

An uppercut is at the same time free rotation of a tensioning lever 27 of the drive M 2 by means of driver 38 from the position R, position to achieve a fuselage hit, in the position K, position to achieve a head hit with simultaneous relaxation of a spring 39, and the clamping lever 23 des Drive M 3 from position E, position retracted striking hand, to position A, extended striking hand, executed.

With the help of a drive M 1, the shoulder part 28 is rotated vertically upwards in a variable angle to the body axis 31 via a swivel joint 29 which is fastened to a contact plate 30. The drive M 1 has thus reached the position S, sideways stroke.

In the subsequent execution of the upward hook already described, drive M 1 in position G, straight stroke, as shown in FIG. 3, a side hook is carried out. The contact plate 30 is rigidly connected to the base plate 17. The central impact is realized in that on the rear wall of the shoulder part 28 and an intermediate plate 32 rotary joints 33 are arranged horizontally variable in angle to the shoulder plane 34, by means of a drive M 0 the shoulder part 28 to the plane of the base plate 17 according to FIG. 4 in position Z , centric stroke, is rotated.

The trunk of the boxing training device is arranged so as to be rotatable about the body axis 31, a shaft 36 carrying a gear wheel 35 being fixedly connected to the trunk being arranged in the body axis 31. A gear 37 driven by the drive M 4 engages in this gear 35. The drives M 0; M 1; M 2; M 3; M 4 are fuselage hits, head hits, uppercuts, sideways hooks, straight and centric strokes, turning the fuselage, electrically coupled and can be triggered by known remote control via radio or cable or with a fixed or learnable program. The drives M 0; M 1; M 2; M 3; M 4 are fixed in their immediate effective area at the respective functional areas.

The boxing training device according to the invention is able to completely reproduce the types of beats occurring in the competition and their combination. The boxing training device is expediently provided with a padded cover made of leather or the like in order to avoid a risk of injury.

Because of the free mobility of both striking arms, the invention makes it possible to train the athlete's ability to coordinate under the control of the trainer.

Since the athlete is forced to apply a certain number of strokes to the boxing training device within a predetermined period of time, the speed at which the athlete strikes, in particular the striking accuracy, can be trained.

In contrast to all previously known boxing training devices, the striking of the four basic strokes of the boxing athlete, straight to the body, straight to the head, uppercut, sideways hook, is possible on the basis of the solution according to the invention. Due to a short-term combination of all basic strokes, such properties as agility, responsiveness, flexibility and condition can be trained in the athlete by means of the solution according to the invention.

Using a stroke sequence to be specified by the trainer, any weaknesses in the boxer's defensive ability can be specifically eliminated. The counterattack can also be trained in a controlled manner from the defense.

In preparation for the competition, the solution according to the invention makes it possible for the first time to tactically and technically adjust the boxer to a specific opponent.

This has made it possible to carry out training aimed specifically at the opponents to be expected.
