Abstract

A collapsible physical training device with elastic resistance elements has been developed which can be integrated into a living area or into furniture and other built-in units owing to its modest size. It can be folded flat and is so light that it can be pivotably secured anywhere. Owing to the wide variety of ways in which the elastic resistance elements on which the user exercises can be arranged, all muscle groups can be developed. It has all the features of heavy training equipment and is stable but requires only a little space and no extra rooms. It could be made more easily slidable by the use of rails. The force exerted can be monitored by strain gauges and thus an eye can be kept on the results of training.

ZUSAMMENKLAPPBARES EINBAU-KRAFT-TRAININGSGERAT MIT ELASTISCHEN WIDERSTANDENFOLDABLE BUILT-IN STRENGTH TRAINER WITH ELASTIC RESISTORS
Das Gerät besteht aus einem Rahmen, aus zwei senkrechten Streben, aus dem eine Sitz- und eine Fußfläche mit ümlenkrollen ausklappbar ist, sowie einem weiteren ausklappbaren Rahmen mit einer, oder mehreren Umlenkrollen Überkopf, der ebenfalls mit einfachen Handgriffen ausklappbar und arretierbar ist. Für das Bizeps- /Trizepstraining wird gleichzeitig ein einsetzbares, drehbares Brett an senkrechten Streben, als Armstütze zur Entlastung der Wirbelsäule ausgeklappt, daß der Größe des Sportlers angepaßt werden kann. Es kann freistehend, oder hinten festverankert ausgeführt werden.The device consists of a frame, two vertical struts, from which a seat and a foot surface can be folded out with deflection rollers, and a further fold-out frame with one or more deflection rollers, which can also be folded out and locked in a few simple steps. For the biceps / tricep training, an insertable, rotatable board on vertical struts is folded out as an armrest to relieve the spine, so that the size of the athlete can be adjusted. It can be free-standing or firmly anchored at the rear.
Die Kraft des aufrecht sitzenden Sportlers übt sich an elastischen Bändern, oder Zügen, oder allgemein Widerständen für Arme und Beine mit Streck- und Beugeübungen. Dabei sind alle wesentlichen Muskelgruppen trainierbar. Die Bänder, oder Züge werden an einem Ende in variabel, in den ausgeklappten Streben, eingesetzte Querstreben verankert, am anderen Ende sind Schlaufen für Hände und Füße aus Gewebeband angebracht, in die, zur besseren Grei barkeit, eventuell Holzstäbe eingearbeitet werden können. Im zusammengeklappten Zustand hat das Gerät eine Ausdehnung in der Tiefe, die der der senkrechten Streben entspricht, je nach Festigkeit des Materials ca. 20 - 70 mm. Die Kraft kann durch die Zahl der auswechselbaren Züge verstellt werden. Das Gerät kann so ausgeführt werden, daß es am Boden aufsetzt, wenn es mit dem Sportler belastet wird, und im unbelasteten Zustand vom Boden abhebt, damit es schwenkbar in Angeln bleibt. Problem und WirkungThe strength of the athlete sitting upright is exercised on elastic bands, or pulls, or in general resistance for arms and legs with stretching and bending exercises. All major muscle groups can be trained. The straps or cables are anchored at one end in variable, inserted cross struts in the unfolded struts, at the other end there are loops for hands and feet made of fabric tape, into which, for better accessibility, wooden sticks can possibly be incorporated. When folded, the device has a depth that corresponds to that of the vertical struts, depending on the strength of the material, approx. 20 - 70 mm. The force can be adjusted by the number of interchangeable cables. The device can be designed so that it touches the ground when it is loaded with the athlete and lifts off the floor in the unloaded state so that it remains pivotable on fishing rods. Problem and effect
Herkömmliche Trainingsgeräte gleicher Vvielseitigkeit und Trainingseffizienz, wie sie in professionellen Fitness- Centern verwendet werden, sind aufgrund der Ausführung mit Gewichten und Stangen, oder Rohren ersten sehr schwer und zweitens nicht flach zusammenklappbar. Das, wie diese Geräte, gleichwirkende Gerät, hat im geklappten Zustand eine geringe Ausdehnung, vorallem in der Tiefe und könnte eventuell weiter zusammenklapp- oder schiebbar aufgebaut werden. Dadurch ist es als Einbaugerät verwendbar. Es kann mit einer Abdeckplatte (z.B. aus Holz) optisch in bestehende Wohnungs- , oder sonstige Einrichtungen eingefügt werden. Auch im ausgeklappten Zustand ist der Platzbedarf in der Tiefe gering. Der Sportler benötigt eine geringe Grundfläche. Das geringe Gewicht des Gerätes erlaubt auch schwenkbare Verankerung als Türe, oder hinter Türen, oder als Türeneinsatz und dergleichen, wenn entsprechende, verstellbare, federnde Drehfüße und Scharniere verwendet werden, um das Gewicht des Trainierenden abzustützen und das Gerät im unbelasteten Zustand vom Boden abzuheben. Dabei können der gesamte Schultergürtel, der Rücken, die Arme und die Vordermuskulatur der Beine in einer Sitzposition trainert werden, was Behinderten entgegenkommt. Im Stehen aber auch die Gesäß- und hintere Beinmuskulatur. Die elastischen Züge oder Bänder (Widerstände) laufen über Umlenkrollen für geringen Verschleiß und gleichmäßige Kraftentfaltung.Conventional training equipment with the same versatility and training efficiency, as used in professional fitness centers, is very difficult due to the design with weights and bars, or tubes, and secondly, it cannot be folded flat. The device, which acts in the same way as these devices, has a small expansion in the folded state, especially in the depth, and could possibly be further folded or slidable. This makes it usable as a built-in device. With a cover plate (e.g. made of wood) it can be visually inserted into existing apartments or other facilities. Even when unfolded, the space required is low in depth. The athlete needs a small footprint. The low weight of the device also allows swiveling anchoring as a door, or behind doors, or as a door insert and the like, if corresponding, adjustable, springy feet and hinges are used to support the weight of the exerciser and to lift the device off the floor in an unloaded state. The entire shoulder girdle, back, arms and front muscles of the legs can be trained in one sitting position, which is good for the disabled. While standing, the buttocks and rear leg muscles. The elastic cables or straps (resistors) run over deflection rollers for low wear and even force.
Weitere Ausführung des GerätesFurther execution of the device
Ausführungen mit verschiedenen Abdeckplatten als Einbaugerät, und die Konstruktion mit verstellbaren Zügen und Schlaufen machen das Gerät universell einsetzbar und integrierbar z.B. in Hotelzimmereinbauten, Appartments und Wohneinrichtungen und dergleichen. Es kann gegebenenfalls weiter verkleinert und zusammengeklappt werden, oder mit Schienen zusammenschiebbar konstruiert werden. Für die ausgeklappten Rahmen und Teile können Rückholsyteme oder Rückerleichterungen eingebaut wird. Mit Dehnungsmeßstreifen kann die ausgeübte Kraft überwacht unnd der Trainingserfolg kontrolliert werden. Versions with different cover plates as built-in device, and the construction with adjustable cables and loops make the device universally applicable and integrable, for example in hotel rooms, apartments and living facilities and the like. If necessary, it can be further reduced and folded, or with rails can be constructed to be collapsible. For the unfolded frames and parts, return systems or easing can be installed. With strain gauges, the force exerted can be monitored and the success of the training can be checked.

Ein freistehendes, oder verankerbares Einbau-Krafttrainings¬ gerät mit elastischen Bändern, oder Zügen, oder allgemein Widerständen, aus Holz, Metallkleinteilen, oder ähnlich geeigneten Materialien, daß dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, daß es im zusammengeklappten Zustand nicht tiefer ist, als zwei seitliche, senkrechte Streben, die als Rahmen dienen und aus denen gleichzeitig eine klappbare Sitz- und eine Fußfläche mit Umlenkrollen vorne und, oder seitlich, sowie zwei senkrechte Stützen mit einem schwenkbaren Brett ausgeklappt werden können. Überkopf kann ein weiterer Rahmen mit einer, oder mehreren Umlenkrollen ausgeklappt werden. Als Gegenkraft zu den Bewegungen des Sportlers dienen elastische Bänder, Züge, oder allgemein Widerstände für Arme und Beine. Das verankerbare, oder freistehend benutzbare Gerät kann, , wenn entsprechende Schraub- oder Federstützfüße und Scharniere, sowie Abdeckflächen verwendet werden, aufgrund seiner geringen Ausdehnung in der Tiefe, sowie des geringen Gewichtes, als Einbau zum Beispiel für Zimmertüren, als Schrankvorsatztüre, oder hinter Türen in Wohnmöbeln integriert werden. Es bietet die Möglichkeit alle Hauptmuskelgruppen zu trainieren. A free-standing or anchored built-in strength training device with elastic bands, or cables, or generally resistors, made of wood, small metal parts, or similar suitable materials, characterized in that it is not deeper than two lateral, vertical when folded Struts that serve as a frame and from which a foldable seat and foot surface with pulleys at the front and, or to the side, as well as two vertical supports with a swiveling board can be folded out. Another frame with one or more pulleys can be folded out overhead. As a counterforce to the movements of the athlete serve elastic bands, trains, or in general resistance for arms and legs. The anchored or free-standing device can, if appropriate screw or spring support feet and hinges, as well as cover surfaces are used, due to its low depth and low weight, as an installation, for example, for room doors, as a cabinet front door or behind doors can be integrated into home furniture. It offers the possibility to train all main muscle groups.
