Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a physical training apparatus comprising at least one movable member on which the user acts to move it 1 en ⁇ against the action of an opposing force.
  • this opposing force is not constant and increases with the movement of the movable member on which the user of the device acts.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus of the aforementioned type in which the antagonistic force against which the user of the apparatus acts remains substantially constant during the maneuver.
  • the drawing represents, by way of example, an embodiment of the object of the invention and of the variants.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of an apparatus for physical culture.
  • Fig. 2 is an elevational view, on a larger scale and with partial section, of the apparatus according to FIG. 1.
  • Fig. 3 is a side view, with partial section, on the scale of FIG. 2.
  • Fig. 4 is a section along the broken line IV-IV of FIG. 3, on a larger scale.
  • Fig. 5 is a section along the line V-V of FIG. 4 on a larger scale, some parts being broken, and
  • Figs. 6 to 9 are sections of a detail of four variants.
  • the apparatus shown in figs. 1 to 5 comprises a vertical column 1, of square section, fixing to a wall, comprising, at its base, a seat 2, on which the user sits, and carrying, above this seat, a padded part 3, forming a backrest.
  • Column 1 is mounted on a base part 4, resting on the ground, provided with a cross-member 5 forming a footrest.
  • the apparatus comprises, movable inside the column 1, a cylinder 6 provided with rollers 7, arranged diagonally, as shown in particular in FIG. 4, guiding the cylinder 6 in its movements inside the column 1.
  • This cylinder is integral two control arms 8, which the user of the apparatus grabs when seated in the seat 2, and which he moves up and down.
  • These two arms 8 are articulated on yokes 9 themselves fixed to the cylin ⁇ dre 6 and which move in slots 10 formed in the side walls of the column 1.
  • the articulation of the arms 8 on the yokes 9 is organized so as to allow the orientation of the arms 8 to be adjustable over approximately 90 °, in the direction of the arrow 11 in FIG. 4, and lockable in position.
  • the base 6a_ (fig. 5) of the cylinder 6 is pierced with an opening giving passage to a rectilinear tube 12 opening in the enclosure formed by the cylinder 6, fixed to a mount 13 itself fixed to the bottom, designated by 14 , of column 1, and which is connected, by a channel 15, to a compressor 16 housed under the seat 2.
  • This compressor makes it possible to create, inside the tube 12 and the enclosure 6, a pressure greater than the atmospheric pressure.
  • a conduit 17 crosses the bar 4 and leads to a pressure gauge 18 (fig. 1) located above the footrest 5 and which allows the user of the device to know the pressure prevailing inside the enclosure 6.
  • the seal between the bottom 6a_ and the tube 12 is ensured by an annular seal and by an oil bath 19 located at the bottom of the enclosure.
  • the pressure prevailing in the enclosure has the effect of opposing the downward movements of the cylinder 6 by a functional force on the one hand of said pressure and on the other hand of the section of the tube 12.
  • the penetration of the tube 12 inside the enclosure 6 causes only a very minimal increase in the pressure prevailing in the enclosure since the volume of the part of the tube 12 engaged in the cylinder 6 is small compared to the total volume under pressure.
  • the variant of fig. 6 differs from the embodiment of figs. 1 to 5 by the fact that, in the latter, the cylindrical enclosure, designated by 22, is fixed in the column, designated by 23, of the apparatus, the control arms 8 being integral with a bar 24 tra ⁇ pouring the upper axial face, designated by 22a, of the enclosure 22 and plunging therein.
  • the bar 24 may be full or hollow, the total volume under pres ⁇ sion being, in the latter case, increased, which has the advantage of reducing the slight increase that the pressure undergoes when the bar 24 is moved downwards by the user of the device.
  • the cylinder 22 is provided, at its base, with a tube 25 intended to connect it to a compressor.
  • the variant of fig. 7 differs from that of FIG. 6 by the fact that, in order to further increase the volume under pressure, the cylindrical enclosure, designated by 26, in which the vertical bar 27 subjected to the act.ion of a control member 28 is in communication with a second enclosure, designated by 29, handles a tube 30 intended to be connected to a compressor.
  • the opposing force remains substantially constant, due to the increase in volume under pressure, even if, in this case, the cross section of the bar 27 corresponds substantially to that of the cylinder 26.
  • the variant of fig. 8 is similar to that of FIG. 7 with the difference that it is not the plunging bar in the cylinder which is movable but the cylinder, designated by 31, which slides on the bar, designated by 32, which is hollow.
  • the hollow bar 32 is in communication with a second enclosure, designated by 33, corresponding to the enclosure 29 of FIG. 7.
  • the cylindrical enclosure, designated by 34 is crossed by a long-shaped organ comprising on the one hand a hollow part 35 and on the other hand a solid rod 36, a passage 37 that communicates the internal channel of the hollow part 35 with the interior of the enclosure 34.
  • the antagonis ⁇ te force opposing the displacement of the cylinder 34 towards Te down depends on the one hand on the pressure prevailing inside it ci and on the other hand the difference in the sections of the parts 35 and 36 of the member passing through the cylinder 34.
  • the cylinder 34 could be fixed and the member 35-36 mobile .
  • the compressor may, if necessary, be replaced by a pressurized gas cylinder or by a foot pump.
