Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a bodybuilding apparatus which can also be used in physiotherapy for muscle rehabilitation.
  • the present invention proposes to remedy this shortcoming and, to do this, it relates to a bodybuilding or muscular rehabilitation device of an articular region of the human body joining to the trunk a member, in particular a lower member, characterized in what it includes on a frame, on the one hand, a support structure for the trunk, designed to maintain the joints of the member concerned and its symmetrical on a fixed positioning axis and, on the other hand, a rotary support for said member, provided with means for fixing the end of the latter at a distance from its axis of rotation, which extends in a direction transverse to said positioning axis, preferably in a direction substantially perpendicular thereto and in the same plan.
  • the user after having immobilized his pelvis on said positioning axis, can rotate the rotary support using his leg fixed to that -this, to make the latter perform a circumduction movement which, by working all the hip muscles in all directions, ensures a natural development as close as possible to anatomical reality.
  • the rotary support consists of a bar which extends laterally on a rotating part centered on said axis of rotation and supports a support plate, such as a sole, constituting with clamping straps which are integral therewith, said means for fixing the end of the member.
  • the bar is advantageously connected to said rotating part around an axis substantially perpendicular to said axis of rotation, and the support plate rests on a ball joint.
  • the support plate is carried by a carriage mounted to slide along the bar with releasable blocking means.
  • the radius of the circumduction circle can easily be adjusted, for example as a function of the morphology of the user or of his muscular capacity.
  • the weight training device is provided with a brake with variable force of the rotating part, which in a simple embodiment consists of a disc integral with the latter cooperating with at least one friction pad carried by the end of a lever articulated on the frame and actuable by the user when installed on that -this.
  • the support structure of the trunk is constituted by a seat for the second lower limb, comprising on a console carried by the frame, at least two support elements, one of which, placed in the high position, serves as support for the buttock and the other, inclined downwards and backwards relative to the first, constitutes a frontal stop for the folded tibia.
  • the second lower limb or passive leg can thus be immobilized in the "sitting on the knees" position, which ensures the desired blocking of the pelvis, possibly with the help of a strap stretched around the lower chest.
  • a second inclined support element oriented so that the seat formed of the console and its three support elements has a symmetry with respect to the plane containing the axis of rotation.
  • the support structure is also advantageously provided with a handlebar comprising two branches which extend on either side of the positioning axis to serve as gripping points for the user's hands.
  • the support structure is also mounted movable along an upright belonging to the frame and is coupled to a height adjustment means operable by the installed user on the device.
  • the axis of rotation of the rotary support of the active member is materialized by a fixed pivot integral with the frame, tightly surrounded by the rotating part produced in the form of a sleeve and extending beyond of the latter, the pivot carrying at its free end a temporary support plate of the support plate.
  • the user can temporarily immobilize the latter on this support plate so that he can easily fix the end of his active member there and use it as a stable fulcrum to hoist yourself up to the trunk support structure.
  • the device according to the invention can alternatively be equipped with another temporary support system for the support plate comprising a mechanism with retractable support levers articulated on the frame.
  • This second support system which can also be found jointly with the first on the same device, will be more particularly used when the support plate is initially blocked on the bar by its support carriage, as is the case for rehabilitation exercises.
  • the hip weight training machine exemplified in Figures 1 to 3, is intended to be used resting on the ground thanks to a tripod-shaped base 1 which, with a vertical post 2, constitutes the frame of the apparatus.
  • the base 1 more precisely consists of a foot 3 in the shape of a large inverted U and of a long plate 4 which is attached laterally to the median zone of the horizontal central branch 3a of the foot 3 and rests on the ground, also in a horizontal position, by a small stud 5 located under its free end.
  • the median longitudinal axis X of the plate 4 and the upright 2 which stands in the middle of the central branch 3a of the foot 3, extend in the same vertical plane P perpendicular to the latter.
  • the plate 4 and the foot 3 are made of rectangular tubes.
  • the upright 2 supports laterally, on the side of the plate 4 and by means of a mount 6 with position adjustable in height, a vertical console 7, in the shape of an inverted V, positioned symmetrically with respect to the plane P.
  • this console 7 supports three small cushions 9, 10, 11, one 9 centered on the plane P in the upper point of the console and the other two 10, 11 inclined towards the bottom and one towards the other, at an angle of about 30 ° relative to the horizontal, at the free ends of the arms 7a, 7b of the console.
  • the console 7 furnished with its three cushions 9, 10, 11 thus constitutes a seat 21 symmetrical with respect to the plane P.
  • the top cushion 9 is also pivotally mounted around a horizontal axis 9a located in this same plane. It will also be observed that at the upper end of the console, a handlebar 29 is welded composed of a lateral branch 29a carrying two strap fixers 50 as well as a front branch 29b and a rear branch 29c extending on either side of plane P.
  • a fixed vertical pivot 12 which stands on the plate 4 in alignment with its stud 5 bearing on the ground.
  • This pivot 12 of circular section, is tightly surrounded by a rotating sleeve 13 on which a long bar 14 is articulated, around a horizontal axis Y, by a stirrup 15 formed at its free end.
  • the bar 14 extends radially in the same plane as the axis Y and, from the latter, has a length less than the distance separating the pivot 12 from the upright 2.
  • a carriage 16 consisting of a ball bushing provided with a locking screw 17, is mounted along the bar 14 while being immobilized therein in rotation, and, on this carriage, stands a short pin 18 supporting, by a ball joint 19, a sole 20 provided with a dowel with a tightening strap 22.
  • FIGS. 4 Also shown in Figure 4 is only a retractable soleplate formed, as best seen in Figure 5, of two levers 24, 25 with flattened ends 24a, 25a (not shown in Figures 1 to 3), which pivot at 24b and 25b, on either side of the plate 4, and tilt down towards the upright 2, at the height of which they are each articulated to a vertical operating rod 26, 27 movable along of the latter and accessible from the seat 21. In their low position visible in FIGS.
  • the user of the weight training apparatus can thus easily fix flat on the sole 20, using the ankle brace 22, the foot of the leg that he wishes to work, in this case the left leg. Then taking support on the sole 20, still firmly immobilized by the two levers 24, 25, he installs his right leg “passive” on the seat 21 in the position "sitting on his knees" illustrated in Figure 2, that is that is to say by sitting his buttock F on the horizontal cushion 9, slightly tilted forward, and placing his folded shin T in frontal support against the front inclined cushion 10, his foot being applied against a footrest 28 carried by a rod 23 secured to the console 7. It then loops around the base of its thorax a strap, not shown, attached to the strap fixers 50.
  • the user has his pelvis perfectly immobilized on a positioning axis A perpendicular to the axis of rotation Z and located in the plane P. Consequently, after having raised the rods 26, 27 by his right hand, thus freeing the sole 20 of its support, the user can, by gripping by his hands the front branch 29b of the handlebar 29, launch with his "active" leg J the rotational movement of the bar 14 around the vertical axis Z of the pivot 12. Once launched, this rotational movement can be easily maintained with the active leg stretched which will then be subjected to a circumduction movement promoting harmonious development of the periarticular muscles of the left hip. This circumduction movement will be as natural as possible, thanks to the possibilities of pivoting of the bar 14 around the Y axis and omnidirectional inclination (limited in practice to 45 °) of the sole 20 on the ball joint 19.
  • the circumduction movement of the leg can be done, either in limited amplitude, as described above, or in free amplitude, the carriage 16 then being released so that the sole 20 can permanently slide the along the bar 14 during the rotation of the latter.
  • this second sole holder is constituted by a small rectangular plate 41 welded in a horizontal position to the upper end of the pivot 12 which, for this purpose, extends above the sleeve 13.
  • this plate 41 On its side facing the upright 2, this plate 41 is provided with a cutout ( see FIG. 3) in which the support pin 18 of the soleplate can be engaged by sliding the carriage 16 along the bar 14, the soleplate then coming into stable support on the plate 41.
  • the user will use the first or second sole holder.
  • the weight training apparatus is also provided with a peripheral protective hoop 30 centered on the axis of rotation Z and tilting from the base of the upright 2 upwards and outwards where it rests on the ground by thin feet 31.
  • a brake consisting of a disc 32 fixed coaxially on the rotating sleeve 13, below the stirrup 15, disc against which can rub a pad of braking 33 carried by an operating lever 34 articulated at 35 inside a median slot of the plate 4.
  • a rod 36 is supported (symbolized in broken lines) in Figure 1) movable by screwing inside the upright 2 by means of a knurled button 36a located at the top of the latter (see Figure 1).
  • weights such as those visible at 38 in FIG. 1.
  • weights which adapt by any known fixing means on the sides of the sole, allow the weight of the sole to be gradually increased and therefore the effort to be exerted.
  • the weight training device according to the invention is also suitable for all body types thanks to the possibility of adjusting the positions of the sole 20 along the bar 14 and of the seat 21 on the upright 2.
  • a hydraulic cylinder 38 whose body is integral with the upright 2, and the rod of the mount 6 sliding along the latter, the action of the cylinder 38 being triggered by a long lever 39 maneuverable from seat 21 (see figure 1).
  • the jack 38 can be replaced by any other equivalent means, such as a worm and flywheel system.
