Definitions
- the invention relates to a training device, which has a base frame and a lying surface, which is arranged above the base frame, is provided with a section serving as a seat surface and with a section arranged behind the seat surface, which can be set up as a backrest.
- Such a training device is known from FR-A-2 468 386.
- the adjustable backrest has the same width as the lying surface. Stands with footrests can be attached to the foot end. The number of exercises that can be carried out with this is small.
- Training devices which have two levers provided with handles. These levers have only one degree of freedom, so that the handles move in a circular path around the axis.
- the resistance more precisely a resistance moment, is generated by a hydraulic cylinder with a damping device, whereby one part of the hydraulic cylinder can be articulated at different levels of the lever to achieve different resistance levels.
- Such training devices serve to strengthen the circulatory system of the user through permanent stress. However, only the same muscles or parts of the body are used.
- the invention is based on the object of specifying a condition training device of the type described at the outset, which enables a user to use other muscles than previously when exercising on the same device and possibly even to carry out strength training.
- the section which can be set up as a backrest has a smaller width than the lying surface, that two levers are arranged next to the lying surface and are pivotably mounted both in the longitudinal direction and in the transverse direction, such that handles attached to the levers are designed in such a way that that they can be moved by both the hands and the legs of the user at least in the two directions mentioned, and that resistance means are provided which oppose the movements of the levers at least in the two directions and are arranged in the underframe under the lying surface.
- the handles can be moved in new directions of movement against resistance, muscles of the upper body and arms are stressed in a different way than before.
- the intended rotational and / or translational movements of the handles can also be superimposed on one another, so that the user can use specific movements to strain certain muscle parts. Depending on the size of the resistance, this can be done as part of a condition training or as part of a strength training.
- the levers can also be operated with the help of the legs, which leads to a corresponding strain on the muscles of the lower body.
- the lying surface allows the handles to be operated not only when sitting but also when lying down. This can be done with the upper arms, forearms or hands as well as with the thighs, lower legs and feet, so that a variety of muscles can be activated.
- the device can be used as a massage bench, which is interesting for the user in many cases. Because of the small width of the backrest, the arms can be moved past the backrest on both sides when the levers are operated.
- the levers are preferably each pivotable about a transverse axis and a longitudinal axis. This can be done in particular with the help of a ball joint.
- the handles can then not only be moved parallel to the device, but also transversely to them and at any intermediate angle against resistance.
- the handles can be moved in the longitudinal direction of the levers.
- the levers can consist of telescopically displaceable parts. This additional up and down movement of the handles leads to stress on other muscles.
- each handle has two horizontal webs offset in height. This has the advantage with respect to the pivoting movements that arms can be attacked on the lever with different levers, which results in differences in load. On the other hand, there is the advantage that a body part, such as an arm or leg, can be arranged between the horizontal bars in order to move the handle up or down against resistance.
- each handle can have two laterally offset vertical webs. This enables the handles to be moved apart and together in the lateral direction against resistance with the aid of an intermediate body part, such as an arm or leg.
- the horizontal and / or vertical webs can have padding. In this way, relatively large forces can be transmitted to the handle without the body parts concerned experiencing pressure points.
- resistance means more precisely that it is resistance forces or moments of resistance, that is to say forces and moments which counteract the movement. All known measures can be used for this, such as counterweights, friction brakes or preloaded springs. The use of a hydraulic cylinder with a damping throttle is particularly recommended.
- the at least one resistance should be adjustable in order to be able to adapt to the desired load.
- damping throttle is formed by a controllable proportional valve.
- the valve cross section and thus the throttling effect can be changed.
- Separate setting devices are preferably assigned to the resistors for the forward movement and the return movement. This allows the different muscles that are effective for back and forth movement to be individually loaded.
- the setting device can have a program memory.
- the setting can, however, also be dependent on a measured variable which characterizes the load on the user, e.g. the pulse rate.
- the resistance is generated by means of a device which converts the power provided by the user into heat, and that a measuring device determines the thermal power or temperature as a display or control variable.
- part of a cross-hydraulic cylinder acts on the lever, which can be pivoted on all sides, the other part of which can be pivoted about a vertical axis is mounted, and that the latter part engages part of a longitudinal hydraulic cylinder, the other part of which is pivotally mounted about a vertical axis.
- This combination of transverse and longitudinal hydraulic cylinders provides resistance in any pivot direction of the lever.
- the hydraulic cylinders can largely be housed inside the device.
- a first hydraulic circuit is provided for the longitudinal hydraulic cylinders and a second hydraulic circuit for the transverse hydraulic cylinders and that in both circuits the corresponding displacements are adjustable with one another and via a common one, bridged by a check valve Damping throttle are connected to an expansion tank.
- Such circles have a simple structure with the least possible number of damping chokes. It also ensures that the same movements on both handles lead to the same resistance. Conversely, if the handles move in opposite directions, the damping throttles become largely ineffective, so that the user can switch between strong and weak loads by simply changing the movement sequence.
- pivot bearings for the levers and the hydraulic cylinders are attached to a functional plate. It is sufficient to make this functional plate stable, while the rest of the device can be of a lighter design.
- the functional plate can also be designed as an oil pan. This double function results in a further simplification.
- a pedal training device can also be located under the removable part of the lying surface. The user can then alternately move the levers against resistance or operate the pedal training device. Both exercises can also be carried out at the same time.
- a closed housing is expediently arranged below the lying surface. This allows all internal parts, such as hydraulic cylinders, valves, reservoirs, pedal training equipment, to be covered to the outside, so that there is a uniform, pleasing shape.
- Adjustment devices for the resistors can be provided on the housing side walls. There they are easily accessible for the user of the device.
- the lying surface is expediently adjustable in height. This makes it easier to use as a massage table.
- the lying surface can be adjusted in inclination. In this way, the muscles can be stressed differently than in a horizontal position.
- the muscles can be subjected to different loads again.
- the device 1 illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3 has a closed housing 2 with feet 3 and 4 at the ends as a base.
- Four padded sections 5, 6, 7 and 8 form a flat lying surface 9.
- Section 6 is provided with a strut 10 and, as shown in FIG. 3, can be raised as a backrest 6a.
- Sections 7 and 8 are connected to one another in an articulated manner and, as also shown in FIG. 3, can be folded up and raised at the foot end of the device.
- the area of section 5 in front of section 6 forms a seat surface 11.
- the stands 3 and 4 are provided with feet 12 which can be moved out by hand or by motor. If this happens only at one end, as shown in FIG. 3, an inclined lying surface 9 results. If this occurs to the same extent at both ends, the lying surface is raised, for example in order to be able to use it as a massage table.
- a lever 13 and 14 which carries a handle 15 and 16 at the upper end.
- the levers are each pivotally mounted on a ball joint 17 so that the handles 15 can be pivoted back and forth both in the longitudinal direction (arrow X) and in the transverse direction (arrow Y).
- the handles can also be adjusted in the direction of the lever axis (arrow Z). All of these movements take place against a resistance, that is to say a resistance force or a resistance moment, as will be explained in more detail later.
- a handle 15 is illustrated in an enlarged view in FIG. 4. It consists of two horizontal webs 18 and 19, offset in height, and two laterally offset webs 20 and 21, which form an intermediate space 22 between them, into which a body part, such as an arm or leg, can be inserted. All webs are provided with padding 23.
- a preloaded spring 24 is provided in the interior of the lever 13 in order to generate the counterforce representing the resistance when the handle 15 moves upwards. This engages on the one hand around a pin 25 on a lever part 13c, which is firmly connected to the telescopic part 13b, and on the other hand around a pin 26, which is connected to a lever part 13d and with an inner telescopic part 13e. When the handle 15 moves upwards, the force of the spring 24 must be overcome.
- a functional plate 27 On the underside of the housing 2 there is a functional plate 27 with a peripheral edge 28, which also serves as an oil pan.
- the schematically illustrated ball joints 17 for the levers 13 and 14 are attached to it.
- a socket 29 engages the lever 13 at a distance from the ball joint 17.
- This socket is attached to the end of one part 30, namely the piston rod, of a transverse hydraulic cylinder 31, the other part 32, namely the cylinder housing, being pivotable about a vertical axis 33, represented by a pin connected to the functional plate 27.
- a part 35 of a longitudinal hydraulic cylinder 36 namely its piston rod, engages by means of a socket 34, the other part 37, namely the cylinder housing, is pivotally mounted about a vertical axis 38 and is likewise fastened to the functional plate 27 by one Cones can be formed.
- a similar arrangement of transverse and longitudinal hydraulic cylinders 31 ', 36' is provided for the lever 14.
- FIG. 8 the hydraulic circuit 39 for the two longitudinal hydraulic cylinders 36 and 36 'is shown.
- the corresponding smaller cross-sections of the two longitudinal hydraulic cylinders are connected to one another via a line 42 and have a common damping throttle 43. This is adjustable by means of the adjusting device 44 and bridged by a check valve 45.
- the two displacements of larger cross section are connected to one another by a line 46. They have a common damping throttle 47. This can be adjusted by means of an adjusting device 48 and bridged by a check valve 49.
- the line 46 is connected to the container outlet 50 via a check valve 51 opening to the hydraulic cylinders.
- a connecting line 52 is connected to the container outlet 50 via a check valve 53 opening towards the container and to a filling and measuring nozzle 55 via a check valve 54 opening towards the line 52.
- the pressed-out oil passes through the check valve 45 and the line 42 into the displacements mentioned first. Since these have a smaller cross section, part of the oil is discharged into the container 41 via the check valve 53. If the two levers 13 and 14 are moved in opposite directions, the resistance is very low because the oil is only between two displacements same cross-section is moved back and forth.
- the hydraulic circuit 40 for the two transverse hydraulic cylinders works in a corresponding manner.
- the adjustment devices 44 and 48 are attached to the side wall of the housing 2.
- the adjustment devices for the damping chokes of the transverse hydraulic cylinders can be located on the opposite side.
- a training device 56 with pedals 57 which drive a disk with a braking device in the usual way directly or via a translation device. After the upholstery sections 7 and 8 have been folded up, this device 56 can be used by a person on the seat 11.
- the training device described With the training device described, a large number of different movements against resistance forces or moments of resistance can therefore be carried out in a wide variety of postures, so that different muscles and muscle groups are stressed.
- the load By adjusting the relevant resistance, the load can be changed so that both a conditioning load and a weight training load are possible.
- the setting devices 44, 48 can be controlled remotely, in particular as a function of a measured variable which characterizes the load on the user, such as the pulse frequency.
- the damping throttles 43, 47 can be assigned measuring devices which determine the temperature of the liquid behind the throttle and pass it on as a measure of the load on the user.
- the load can also be set depending on a program that is written for a specific training sequence.

Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Trainingsgerät, das ein Untergestell und eine Liegefläche aufweist, die oberhalb des Untergestells angeordnet ist, mit einem als Sitzfläche dienenden Abschnitt und mit einem hinter der Sitzfläche angeordneten Abschnitt, der als Rückenlehne aufstellbar ist, versehen ist.The invention relates to a training device, which has a base frame and a lying surface, which is arranged above the base frame, is provided with a section serving as a seat surface and with a section arranged behind the seat surface, which can be set up as a backrest.
Ein solches Trainingsgerät ist aus FR-A-2 468 386 bekannt. Die aufstellbare Rückenlehne hat die gleiche Breite wie die Liegefläche. Am Fußende können Ständer angebracht werden, an denen sich Fußstützen befinden. Die Zahl der hiermit durchführbaren Übungen ist gering.Such a training device is known from FR-A-2 468 386. The adjustable backrest has the same width as the lying surface. Stands with footrests can be attached to the foot end. The number of exercises that can be carried out with this is small.
Des weiteren sind Trainingsgeräte bekannt, die zwei mit Griffen versehene Hebel aufweisen. Diese Hebel besitzen nur einen Freiheitsgrad, so daß sich die Griffe auf einer Kreisbahn um die Achse bewegen. Der Widerstand, genauer gesagt ein Widerstands-Moment, wird durch einen Hydrozylinder mit Dämpfungsvorrichtung erzeugt, wobei zur Erzielung unterschiedlicher Widerstandsstufen der eine Teil des Hydrozylinders in verschiedenen Höhen des Hebels angelenkt werden kann. Solche Trainingsgeräte dienen dazu, den Kreislauf des Benutzers durch Dauerbelastung zu stärken. Es werden aber immer nur die gleichen Muskeln bzw. Körperpartien beansprucht.Training devices are also known which have two levers provided with handles. These levers have only one degree of freedom, so that the handles move in a circular path around the axis. The resistance, more precisely a resistance moment, is generated by a hydraulic cylinder with a damping device, whereby one part of the hydraulic cylinder can be articulated at different levels of the lever to achieve different resistance levels. Such training devices serve to strengthen the circulatory system of the user through permanent stress. However, only the same muscles or parts of the body are used.
Daneben gibt es Kraftsport-Trainingsgeräte, mit denen gezielt einzelne Muskeln des Benutzers belastet werden können, so daß sie durch kurzzeitige starke Belastung einen Wachstumsanreiz erhalten.In addition, there are strength training devices with which individual muscles of the user can be targeted, so that they receive an incentive to grow due to short-term heavy loads.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Konditions-Trainingsgerät der eingangs beschriebenen Art anzugeben, das es einem Benutzer ermöglicht, beim Konditionstraining am gleichen Gerät auch andere Muskeln als bisher zu beanspruchen und gegebenenfalls sogar ein Krafttraining durchzuführen.The invention is based on the object of specifying a condition training device of the type described at the outset, which enables a user to use other muscles than previously when exercising on the same device and possibly even to carry out strength training.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß der als Rückenlehne aufstellbare Abschnitt eine geringere Breite hat als die Liegefläche, daß zwei Hebel neben der Liegefläche angeordnet und sowohl in Längsrichtung als auch in Querrichtung schwenkbar gelagert sind, daß an den Hebeln angebrachte Griffe so gestaltet sind, daß sie sowohl durch die Hände als auch durch die Beine des Benutzers wenigstens in den beiden genannten Richtungen bewegbar sind, und daß Widerstandsmittel vorgesehen sind, welche den Bewegungen der Hebel wenigstens in den beiden Richtungen Widerstand entgegensetzen und im Untergestell unter der Liegefläche angeordnet sind.This object is achieved in that the section which can be set up as a backrest has a smaller width than the lying surface, that two levers are arranged next to the lying surface and are pivotably mounted both in the longitudinal direction and in the transverse direction, such that handles attached to the levers are designed in such a way that that they can be moved by both the hands and the legs of the user at least in the two directions mentioned, and that resistance means are provided which oppose the movements of the levers at least in the two directions and are arranged in the underframe under the lying surface.
Dadurch, daß die Handgriffe in neuen Bewegungsrichtungen gegen Widerstand verlagerbar sind, werden Muskeln des Oberkörpers und der Arme auf andere Weise als bisher belastet. Hierbei können die vorgesehenen Rotations- und/oder Translationsbewegungen der Griffe einander auch überlagert werden, so daß es der Benutzer durch gezielte Bewegungen erreicht, bestimmte Muskelpartien zu belasten. Je nach Größe des Widerstandes läßt sich dies im Rahmen eines Konditionstrainings oder auch im Rahmen eines Krafttrainings durchführen.Because the handles can be moved in new directions of movement against resistance, muscles of the upper body and arms are stressed in a different way than before. In this case, the intended rotational and / or translational movements of the handles can also be superimposed on one another, so that the user can use specific movements to strain certain muscle parts. Depending on the size of the resistance, this can be done as part of a condition training or as part of a strength training.
Betätigt man die Hebel mit den Armen, ergibt sich eine entsprechende Beanspruchung der Muskulatur des Oberkörpers. Bei entsprechender Gestaltung der Griffe und der Sitzfläche lassen sich die Hebel auch mit Hilfe der Beine bedienen, was zu einer entsprechenden Belastung der Muskulatur des Unterkörpers führt.If you operate the levers with your arms, the muscles in your upper body are stressed accordingly. With a suitable design of the handles and the seat, the levers can also be operated with the help of the legs, which leads to a corresponding strain on the muscles of the lower body.
Die Liegefläche erlaubt es, die Griffe nicht nur im Sitzen, sondern auch im Liegen zu betätigen. Dies kann sowohl mit den Oberarmen, Unterarmen oder Händen als auch mit den Oberschenkeln, Unterschenkeln und Füßen geschehen, so daß eine Vielzahl von Muskeln aktiviert werden kann. Außerdem läßt sich das Gerät als Massagebank benutzen, was in vielen Fällen für den Benutzer interessant ist. Wegen der geringen Breite der Rückenlehne können die Arme beidseits an der Rückenlehne vorbei bewegt werden, wenn die Hebel betätigt werden.The lying surface allows the handles to be operated not only when sitting but also when lying down. This can be done with the upper arms, forearms or hands as well as with the thighs, lower legs and feet, so that a variety of muscles can be activated. In addition, the device can be used as a massage bench, which is interesting for the user in many cases. Because of the small width of the backrest, the arms can be moved past the backrest on both sides when the levers are operated.
Da die Widerstandsmittel im Untergestell unter der Liegefläche angeordnet sind, ergibt sich ein platzsparendes Gerät.Since the resistance means are arranged in the base under the lying surface, this results in a space-saving device.
Vorzugsweise sind die Hebel je um eine Querachse und eine Längsachse schwenkbar. Dies kann insbesondere mit Hilfe eines Kugelgelenks erfolgen. Die Griffe sind dann nicht nur parallel zum Gerät, sondern auch quer hierzu sowie in jedem Zwischenwinkel gegen Widerstände verlagerbar.The levers are preferably each pivotable about a transverse axis and a longitudinal axis. This can be done in particular with the help of a ball joint. The handles can then not only be moved parallel to the device, but also transversely to them and at any intermediate angle against resistance.
Bei einer weiteren Ausführungsform sind die Griffe in Längsrichtung der Hebel bewegbar. Insbesondere können die Hebel aus teleskopartig verschiebbaren Teilen bestehen. Diese zusätzliche Auf- und Abbewegung der Griffe führt zur Beanspruchung anderer Muskelpartien.In a further embodiment, the handles can be moved in the longitudinal direction of the levers. In particular, the levers can consist of telescopically displaceable parts. This additional up and down movement of the handles leads to stress on other muscles.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung weist jeder Griff zwei in der Höhe versetzte Horizontalstege auf. Dies hat bezüglich der Schwenkbewegungen den Vorteil, daß am Hebel mit verschiedenen Hebel armen angegriffen werden kann, wodurch sich Belastungsunterschiede ergeben. Zum andern ergibt sich der Vorteil, daß ein Körperteil, wie Arm oder Bein, zwischen den Horizontalstegen angeordnet werden kann, um den Griff nach oben oder unten gegen Widerstand zu bewegen.In a further embodiment, each handle has two horizontal webs offset in height. This has the advantage with respect to the pivoting movements that arms can be attacked on the lever with different levers, which results in differences in load. On the other hand, there is the advantage that a body part, such as an arm or leg, can be arranged between the horizontal bars in order to move the handle up or down against resistance.
In ähnlicher Weise kann jeder Griff zwei seitlich versetzte Vertikalstege aufweisen. Dies ermöglicht es, mit Hilfe eines dazwischen befindlichen Körperteils, wie Arm oder Bein, die Griffe in Seitenrichtung gegen Widerstand auseinander und zusammen zu bewegen.Similarly, each handle can have two laterally offset vertical webs. This enables the handles to be moved apart and together in the lateral direction against resistance with the aid of an intermediate body part, such as an arm or leg.
Die Horizontal- und/oder Vertikalstege können eine Polsterung aufweisen. Auf diese Weise lassen sich verhältnismäßig große Kräfte auf den Griff übertragen, ohne daß die betreffenden Körperteile Druckstellen erfahren.The horizontal and / or vertical webs can have padding. In this way, relatively large forces can be transmitted to the handle without the body parts concerned experiencing pressure points.
Der hier verwendete Ausdruck "widerstand" bedeutet genauer, daß es sich um Widerstandskräfte oder Widerstandsmomente handelt, also Kräfte und Momente, welche der Bewegung entgegenwirken. Hierfür können alle bekannten Maßnahmen eingesetzt werden, wie Gegengewichte, Reibungsbremsen oder auch vorgespannte Federn. Besonders empfehlenwert ist die Verwendung eines Hydrozylinders mit Dämpfungsdrossel.The term "resistance" used here means more precisely that it is resistance forces or moments of resistance, that is to say forces and moments which counteract the movement. All known measures can be used for this, such as counterweights, friction brakes or preloaded springs. The use of a hydraulic cylinder with a damping throttle is particularly recommended.
Des weiteren sollte der mindestens eine Widerstand einstellbar sein, um eine Anpassung an die gewünschte Belastung vornehmen zu können.Furthermore, the at least one resistance should be adjustable in order to be able to adapt to the desired load.
Dies kann beispielsweise dadurch geschehen, daß die Dämpfungsdrossel durch ein steuerbares Proportionalventil gebildet ist. Mit Hilfe der Steuerspannung läßt sich der Ventilquerschnitt und damit die Drosselwirkung ändern.This can happen, for example, in that the damping throttle is formed by a controllable proportional valve. With the help of the control voltage, the valve cross section and thus the throttling effect can be changed.
Vorzugsweise sind den Widerständen für die Hinbewegung und die Rückbewegung separate Einstellvorrichtungen zugeordnet. Dies erlaubt es, die unterschiedlichen Muskeln, die für Hin- und Rückbewegung wirksam sind, individuell zu belasten.Separate setting devices are preferably assigned to the resistors for the forward movement and the return movement. This allows the different muscles that are effective for back and forth movement to be individually loaded.
Empfehlenswert ist es, daß für die Einstellung mindestens eines Widerstandes eine Fernsteuerung vorgesehen ist. Die Einstellvorrichtung kann einen Programmspeicher aufweisen. Die Einstellung kann aber auch in Abhängigkeit von einer die Belastung des Benutzers kennzeichnenden Meßgröße, z.B. der Pulsfrequenz, erfolgen.It is recommended that a remote control is provided for setting at least one resistor. The setting device can have a program memory. The setting can, however, also be dependent on a measured variable which characterizes the load on the user, e.g. the pulse rate.
Des weiteren ist es günstig, daß die Erzeugung des Widerstandes mittels einer Vorrichtung erfolgt, die die vom Benutzer erbrachte Leistung in Wärme umsetzt, und daß eine Meßvorrichtung die thermische Leistung bzw. Temperatur als Anzeige- oder Steuergröße ermittelt. Hierbei wird die Tatsache ausgenutzt, daß immer dann, wenn durch Reibung Wärme entsteht, z.B. in der Dämpfungsdrossel, Anderungen der thermischen Größen, insbesondere der Temperatur, auftreten, die zu Anzeige- oder Steuerzwecken genutzt werden können.Furthermore, it is favorable that the resistance is generated by means of a device which converts the power provided by the user into heat, and that a measuring device determines the thermal power or temperature as a display or control variable. This takes advantage of the fact that whenever heat is generated by friction, e.g. In the damping choke, changes in the thermal quantities, in particular the temperature, occur which can be used for display or control purposes.
Konstruktiv empfiehlt es sich, daß am allseits schwenkbaren Hebel ein Teil eines Quer-Hydrozylinders angreift, dessen anderer Teil um eine vertikale Achse schwenkbar gelagert ist, und daß am letztgenannten Teil der eine Teil eines Längs-Hydrozylinders angreift, dessen anderer Teil um eine vertikale Achse schwenkbar gelagert ist. Durch diese Kombination von Quer- und Längs-Hydrozylindern erreicht man in beliebiger Schwenkrichtung des Hebels einen Widerstand. Hierbei können die Hydrozylinder weitgehend im Geräte inneren untergebracht sein.It is structurally recommended that part of a cross-hydraulic cylinder acts on the lever, which can be pivoted on all sides, the other part of which can be pivoted about a vertical axis is mounted, and that the latter part engages part of a longitudinal hydraulic cylinder, the other part of which is pivotally mounted about a vertical axis. This combination of transverse and longitudinal hydraulic cylinders provides resistance in any pivot direction of the lever. The hydraulic cylinders can largely be housed inside the device.
Des weiteren ist es günstig, daß ein erster hydraulischer Kreis für die Längs-Hydrozylinder und ein zweiter hydraulischer Kreis für die Quer-Hydrozylinder vorgesehen ist und daß in beiden Kreisen die einander entsprechenden Hubräume miteinander und über je eine gemeinsame, durch ein Rückschlagventil überbrückte, einstellbare Dämpfungsdrossel mit einem Ausgleichsbehälter verbunden sind. Solche Kreise haben einen einfachen Aufbau mit der geringstmöglichen Zahl von Dämpfungsdrosseln. Außerdem ist es gewährleistet, daß gleiche Bewegungen an beiden Griffen zu gleichen Widerständen führen. Umgekehrt ergibt sich bei gegengleicher Bewegung der Griffe ein weitgehendes Unwirksamwerden der Dämpfungsdrosseln, so daß der Benutzer durch einfache Anderung des Bewegungsablaufs zwischen starker und schwacher Belastung wechseln kann.Furthermore, it is favorable that a first hydraulic circuit is provided for the longitudinal hydraulic cylinders and a second hydraulic circuit for the transverse hydraulic cylinders and that in both circuits the corresponding displacements are adjustable with one another and via a common one, bridged by a check valve Damping throttle are connected to an expansion tank. Such circles have a simple structure with the least possible number of damping chokes. It also ensures that the same movements on both handles lead to the same resistance. Conversely, if the handles move in opposite directions, the damping throttles become largely ineffective, so that the user can switch between strong and weak loads by simply changing the movement sequence.
Des weiteren empfiehlt es sich, daß die Schwenklager für die Hebel und die Hydrozylinder an einer Funktionsplatte angebracht sind. Es genügt, diese Funktionsplatte stabil auszubilden, während das übrige Gerät leichtere Bauart aufweisen kann.Furthermore, it is recommended that the pivot bearings for the levers and the hydraulic cylinders are attached to a functional plate. It is sufficient to make this functional plate stable, while the rest of the device can be of a lighter design.
Die Funktionsplatte kann darüber hinaus als Ölwanne ausgebildet sein. Diese Doppelfunktion ergibt eine weitere Vereinfachung.The functional plate can also be designed as an oil pan. This double function results in a further simplification.
Günstig ist es auch, daß ein vor der Sitzfläche befindlicher Teil der Liegefläche entfernbar ist. Man kann dann bei den Übungen eine Sitzhaltung wie auf einem Stuhl einnehmen, was andere Körperpartien beansprucht als beim Sitzen mit horizontal ausgestreckten Beinen oder beim Liegen.It is also favorable that a part of the lying surface located in front of the seat surface can be removed. You can then take a sitting position like in a chair during the exercises, which takes up different parts of your body than when sitting with your legs stretched horizontally or when lying down.
Unter dem entfernbaren Teil der Liegefläche kann sich auch ein Pedal-Trainingsgerät befinden. Der Benutzer kann dann abwechselnd die Hebel gegen Widerstände bewegen oder das Pedal-Trainingsgerät bedienen. Beide Übungen können auch gleichzeitig durchgeführt werden.A pedal training device can also be located under the removable part of the lying surface. The user can then alternately move the levers against resistance or operate the pedal training device. Both exercises can also be carried out at the same time.
Unterhalb der Liegefläche ist zweckmäßigerweise ein geschlossenes Gehäuse angeordnet. Hiermit können alle Innenteile, wie Hydrozylinder, Ventile, Vorratsbehälter, Pedal-Trainingsgerät nach außen hin abgedeckt werden, so daß sich eine einheitliche gefällige Form ergibt.A closed housing is expediently arranged below the lying surface. This allows all internal parts, such as hydraulic cylinders, valves, reservoirs, pedal training equipment, to be covered to the outside, so that there is a uniform, pleasing shape.
Einstellvorrichtungen für die Widerstände können an Gehäuseseitenwänden vorgesehen sein. Dort sind sie für den Benutzer des Geräts leicht erreichbar.Adjustment devices for the resistors can be provided on the housing side walls. There they are easily accessible for the user of the device.
Zweckmäßigerweise ist die Liegefläche höhenverstellbar. Dies erleichtert die Verwendung als Massagetisch.The lying surface is expediently adjustable in height. This makes it easier to use as a massage table.
Günstig ist es auch, wenn die Liegefläche in der Neigung verstellbar ist. Auf diese Weise lassen sich die Muskelpartien anders beanspruchen als bei horizontaler Lage.It is also favorable if the lying surface can be adjusted in inclination. In this way, the muscles can be stressed differently than in a horizontal position.
Wenn der Höhenunterschied zwischen Sitz- bzw. Liegefläche und Griffen und/oder Pedalen einstellbar ist, ergibt sich nochmals eine unterschiedliche Belastbarkeit der Muskeln.If the height difference between the seat or lying surface and the handles and / or pedals can be adjusted, the muscles can be subjected to different loads again.

Das in den Fig. 1 bis 3 veranschaulichte Gerät 1 weist als Untergestell ein geschlossenes Gehäuse 2 mit Standfüßen 3 und 4 an den Enden auf. Vier gepolsterte Abschnitte 5, 6, 7 und 8 bilden eine ebene Liegefläche 9. Der Abschnitt 6 ist mit einer Strebe 10 versehen und kann, wie Fig. 3 zeigt, als Rückenlehne 6a hochgestellt werden. Die Abschnitte 7 und 8 sind gelenkig miteinander verbunden und können, wie Fig. 3 ebenfalls zeigt, am Fußende des Geräts zusammengeklappt und hochgestellt werden. Der Bereich des Abschnitts 5 vor dem Abschnitt 6 bildet eine Sitzfläche 11. Die Ständer 3 und 4 sind mit Füßen 12 versehen, die von Hand oder motorisch herausgefahren werden können. Geschieht dies nur an einem Ende, wie Fig. 3 zeigt, ergibt sich eine geneigte Liegefläche 9. Erfolgt dies im gleichen Maße an beiden Enden, wird die Liegefläche angehoben, beispielsweise um sie als Massagetisch benutzen zu können.The
Zu beiden Seiten der Liegefläche 9 ist je ein Hebel 13 und 14 vorgesehen, der am oberen Ende einen Griff 15 bzw. 16 trägt. Die Hebel sind je an einem Kugelgelenk 17 allseits schwenkbar gelagert, so daß die Griffe 15 sowohl in Längsrichtung (Pfeil X) als auch in Querrichtung (Pfeil Y) hin und her geschwenkt werden können. Außerdem sind die Griffe in Richtung der Hebelachse (Pfeil Z) verstellbar. All diese Bewegungen erfolgen gegen einen Widerstand, also eine Widerstandskraft oder ein Widerstandsmoment, wie später noch näher erläutert wird. Außerdem ist der Hebel 13, wie ein Vergleich zwischen den Fig. 2 und 3 zeigt, durch teleskopartiges Auseinanderziehen der Teile 13a und 13b derart verlängerbar und in dieser Stellung arretierbar, daß der Griff 15 eine andere Höhenlage mit Bezug auf die Sitzfläche 11 bzw. die Liegefläche 9 einnimmt. Das gleiche gilt für den Hebel 14 mit dem Griff 16.On both sides of the lying
In Fig. 4 ist ein Griff 15 in vergrößerter Darstellung veranschaulicht. Er besteht aus zwei in der Höhe versetzten Horizontalstegen 18 und 19 sowie aus zwei seitlich gegeneinander versetzten Stegen 20 und 21, die einen Zwischenraum 22 zwischen sich bilden, in welchen ein Körperteil, wie Arm oder Bein, eingeschoben werden kann. Sämtliche Stege sind mit einer Polsterung 23 versehen.A
Zur Erzeugung der den Widerstand darstellenden Gegenkraft bei einer Aufwärtsbewegung des Griffes 15 ist im Innern des Hebels 13 eine vorgespannte Feder 24 vorgesehen. Diese greift zum einen um einen Stift 25 an einem Hebelteil 13c, das mit dem Teleskopteil 13b fest verbunden ist, und zum andern um einen Stift 26, der mit einem Hebelteil 13d und mit einem innenliegenden Teleskopteil 13e verbunden ist. Bei der Aufwärtsbewegung des Griffes 15 muß die Kraft der Feder 24 überwunden werden.A
An der Unterseite des Gehäuses 2 befindet sich eine Funktionsplatte 27 mit umlaufendem Rand 28, die gleichzeitig als Ölwanne dient. An ihr sind die schematisch veranschaulichten Kugelgelenke 17 für die Hebel 13 und 14 angebracht. Außerdem greift eine Fassung 29 mit Abstand vom Kugelgelenk 17 am Hebel 13 an. Diese Fassung ist am Ende des einen Teils 30, nämlich der Kolbenstange, eines Quer-Hydrozylinders 31 angebracht, dessen anderer Teil 32, nämlich das Zylindergehäuse, um eine vertikale Achse 33, dargestellt von einem mit der Funktionsplatte 27 verbundenen Zapfen, schwenkbar ist. Am Teil 32 greift mittels einer Fassung 34 der eine Teil 35 eines Längs-Hydrozylinders 36, nämlich dessen Kolbenstange, an, deren anderer Teil 37, nämlich das Zylindergehäuse, um eine vertikale Achse 38 schwenkbar gelagert ist und ebenfalls durch einen an der Funktionsplatte 27 befestigten Zapfen gebildet werden kann. Für den Hebel 14 ist eine ähnliche Anordnung von Quer- und Längs-Hydrozylindern 31′, 36′ vorgesehen.On the underside of the
In Fig. 8 ist der hydraulische Kreis 39 für die beiden Längs-Hydrozylinder 36 und 36′ dargestellt. Ein entsprechender hydraulischer Kreis 40 für die Quer-Hydrozylinder 31 und 31′ schließt spiegelbildlich an. Beide Kreise benutzen den gleichen Vorratsbehälter 41. Die einander entsprechenden Hubräume kleineren Querschnitts der beiden Längs-Hydrozylinder sind über eine Leitung 42 miteinander verbunden und besitzen eine gemeinsame Dämpfungsdrossel 43. Diese ist mittels der Einstellvorrichtung 44 einstellbar und durch ein Rückschlagventil 45 überbrückt. In ähnlicher Weise sind die beiden Hubräume größeren Querschnitts durch eine Leitung 46 miteinander verbunden. Sie besitzen eine gemeinsame Dämpfungsdrossel 47. Diese ist mittels einer Einstellvorrichtung 48 einstellbar und durch ein Rückschlagventil 49 überbrückt. Die Leitung 46 ist mit dem Behälterausgang 50 über ein zu den Hydrozylindern öffendes Rückschlagventil 51 verbunden. Eine Verbindungsleitung 52 ist über ein zum Behälter hin öffnendes Rückschlagventil 53 mit dem Behälterausgang 50 und über ein zur Leitung 52 hin öffnendes Rückschlagventil 54 mit einem Füll- und Meßstutzen 55 verbunden.In Fig. 8, the
Wenn die Hydrozylinder 36 und 36′ durch eine gleichartige Längsbewegung der Hebel 13 und 14 verstellt werden, gelangt Öl über die Leitung 42 und die Dämpfungsdrossel 43 in die Leitung 52. Da die Dämpfungsdrossel, die beispielsweise als spannungsgesteuertes Proportionalventil ausgelegt ist, einen bestimmten Drosselquerschnitt hat, ergibt sich eine von der Bewegungsgeschwindigkeit abhängige Gegenkraft, also ein Widerstand gegen diese Bewegung. Das Drucköl gelangt von der Leitung 52 über das Rückschlagventil 49 und die Leitung 46 in die anderen Räume der Hydrozylinder. Da deren Querschnitt größer ist, wird aus dem Vorratsbehälter 41 Öl über das Rückschlagventil 51 nachgesaugt. Bei einer Betätigung der Hydrozylinder in entgegengesetzter Richtung erzeugt die Dämpfungsdrossel 47 den gewünschten Widerstand.If the
Das herausgedrückte Öl gelangt über das Rückschlagventil 45 und die Leitung 42 in die zuerst genannten Hubräume. Da diese einen kleineren Querschnitt haben, wird ein Teil des Öls über das Rückschlagventil 53 in den Behälter 41 abgeführt. Wenn die beiden Hebel 13 und 14 gegengleich bewegt werden, ist der Widerstand sehr gering, da das Öl lediglich zwischen zwei Hubräumen gleichen Querschnitts hin- und herbewegt wird. Der hydraulische Kreis 40 für die beiden Quer-Hydrozylinder arbeitet in entsprechender Weise.The pressed-out oil passes through the
Jede Bewegung der Hebel 13 und 14, gleichgültig in welcher Richtung, führt zu einem Bewegungswiderstand, der vom Benutzer nach Belieben einstellbar ist. Zu diesem Zweck sind die Einstellvorrichtungen 44 und 48 an der Seitenwand des Gehäuses 2 angebracht. Auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite können sich die Einstellvorrichtungen für die Dämpfungsdrosseln der Quer-Hydrozylinder befinden.Each movement of the
Im Innern des Gehäuses 2 befindet sich noch ein Trainingsgerät 56 mit Pedalen 57, die in üblicher Weise direkt oder über eine Übersetzungsvorrichtung eine Scheibe mit Bremsvorrichtung antreiben. Nach dem Hochklappen der Polsterabschnitte 7 und 8 kann dieses Gerät 56 von einer auf der Sitzfläche 11 befindlichen Person benutzt werden.In the interior of the
Mit dem beschriebenen Trainingsgerät kann daher in den verschiedensten Körperhaltungen eine Vielzahl von unterschiedlichen Bewegungen gegen Widerstandskräfte oder Widerstandsmomente durchgeführt werden, so daß unterschiedliche Muskeln und Muskelgruppen beansprucht werden. Durch Einstellung des betreffenden Widerstandes läßt sich die Belastung so ändern, daß sowohl eine Konditionierungs-Belastung als auch eine Kraftsport-Belastung möglich ist.With the training device described, a large number of different movements against resistance forces or moments of resistance can therefore be carried out in a wide variety of postures, so that different muscles and muscle groups are stressed. By adjusting the relevant resistance, the load can be changed so that both a conditioning load and a weight training load are possible.
Von der dargestellten Ausführungsform kann in vielfacher Hinsicht abgewichen werden, ohne den Grundgedanken der Erfindung zu verlassen. Beispielsweise können die Einstellvorrichtungen 44, 48 ferngesteuert werden, insbesondere in Abhängigkeit von einer die Belastung des Benutzers kennzeichnenden Meßgröße, wie der Pulsfrequenz.The embodiment shown can be varied in many ways without departing from the basic idea of the invention. For example, the
Ferner können in nicht veranschaulichter Weise den Dämpfungsdrosseln 43, 47 Meßgeräte zugeordnet sein, welche die Temperatur der Flüssigkeit hinter der Drossel feststellen und als Maß für die Belastung des Benutzers weitergeben.Furthermore, in a manner not illustrated, the damping throttles 43, 47 can be assigned measuring devices which determine the temperature of the liquid behind the throttle and pass it on as a measure of the load on the user.
Die Einstellung der Belastung kann auch in Abhängigkeit von einem Programm erfolgen, das für einen bestimmten Trainingsablauf geschrieben ist.The load can also be set depending on a program that is written for a specific training sequence.
