Definitions

  • the invention has for its object to provide a medical and gymnastics multi-purpose device of the type mentioned which has a remarkable versatility in the adjustment options of the pivotable support surface for the user, which can be easily operated by the user himself and so can be extremely adapted to the parts of the body that it is suitable for users of different sizes and with different body weights; Furthermore, it is the aim of the invention to find a constructive solution in order to be able to manufacture the device also in a wooden construction
  • the invention proposes to divide the support surface for the user into three parts which are articulated to one another in order to be movable and adjustable independently of one another, furthermore, according to the invention, a device for holding the feet is provided which automatically binds the restraints adapts and blocks the feet in cooperation with the stress caused by the swiveling of the body.
  • the support surface is thus divided into a central section which, according to a horizontal axis, can be pivoted into any position by the user himself by means of lateral spoke wheels and can be locked by means of further, smaller, lateral spoke wheels.
  • a central section of the support on which the user's pelvic region rests is hinged an upper area for supporting the back; this part meets, if desired, during the pivoting movement of a support surface, so that the back remains supported in a position which is less angled to the rest of the user's body part.
  • a further joint is provided which enables the angle of the calves to be adjusted with respect to the thighs.
  • a footboard with an adjustable holder is provided as a support for the feet, which also has an adjustable support for the heels and a support in the area of the foot areas, the latter being pressed lightly against the foot areas by spring action and automatically being pressed more firmly as soon as the feet move away from the running board.
  • This holding motion is determined by the shape of the guide in which the holder of this movable, spring-loaded support can move; the course of this guide can be arcuate and end in a tangent position with respect to a parallel to the direction of displacement of the feet.
  • the bearing surfaces of the device according to the invention can be heated and or can be equipped with, possibly vibrating, balls or rollers for the purpose of massage.
  • the possibility is used to shape these sectors so that the arc line varies in their distance from the axis of rotation in order to achieve a slight raising or lowering of the sectors together with the contact surfaces for the user during the pivoting movement and thereby the movement to connect in extreme swivel positions with greater effort on the part of the user, or to prevent that extreme swivel positions cannot be reached automatically even when the weight is shifted abnormally.
  • FIG. 1 is a front view of a multi-purpose medical and gymnastics device according to the invention with the support surface for the user in a slightly angled position with respect to a vertical.
  • FIG. 2 shows the side view of the multi-purpose medical and gymnastics device according to the invention in a sectional view according to the sectional plane II-II shown in FIG.
  • the trestle on which the support surfaces 7, 7a together with all actuating, setting and locking mechanisms are mounted and attached is essentially formed from two supports 2 with two vertical, parallel posts 2a and a connecting structure 2b.
  • the shaft 6 is rotatably mounted with two wheel sectors 5, to which the middle section of the bearing surface 7 is fastened for the user.
  • the section 7 for the bearing surface of the pelvis and thigh area is pivotally mounted 7d about the axis of the shaft 6 and driven by the two wheel sectors 5 which rest on the shaft 4 arranged below it, the shaft is provided at the ends with spoke wheels 3 which are used by the user can be easily operated even in any swivel position.
  • the shaft 6 is mounted in vertical, oblique or curved upward elongated holes on the posts 2a so that the arc surfaces of the circular sectors 5, under load by the user, are pressed against the shaft 4.
  • the circular sectors can be replaced by sectors whose curve line course the distance to the shaft, at least in certain areas, varies in order thereby to achieve a slight raising or lowering of the contact surfaces 7, 7a during the pivoting movement 7d, which can prove to be advantageous in order to prevent that in the event of abnormal weight shifting, extreme swivel positions can be reached automatically, or that such positions can only be reached consciously and with increased effort (lifting) while the return to less extreme positions takes place with less effort (lowering).
  • a horizontally rotatably arranged spindle penetrating both posts 2a can be provided, on the thread ends of which the spoke inner surfaces are pressed against the sector surfaces by spoke wheels 18. It is also conceivable to press the posts 2a against the sectors 5 via a lever or eccentric mechanism.
  • the support 7a for the back area of the user is articulated on one of the end areas by means of hinge 7b.
  • the angular movement of this support 7a, with respect to the central support 7, is prevented in one direction (backward) by the stop on a portion of the wheel sectors, while this movement (forward) is adjustable via a bracket 15 on the rear of the support 7a.
  • Tappet 14 can be controlled.
  • the plunger 14 meets, during the pivoting back 7d of the bearing surface 7, with its free forked end, the central region of the shaft 4 and during the subsequent pivoting movement of the central bearing surface 7 in the same direction, an angular movement of the bearing surface 7a to the central bearing surface 7 is achieved.
  • the upper body of the user is supported in a less inclined position with respect to the legs.
  • the different angular positions can be locked by actuating the lateral, smaller spoke wheels 18, which exert a braking effect on the wheel sectors 5.
  • the arm 12 for the mounting of the footboard 8 which is adjustable in the direction 8a, for the support of the feet of the user stored.
  • rollers made of flexible material are attached to both projecting end areas. The entire arm 12 can be adjusted in different positions by the strut 16.
  • This strut 16 is supported at one end on a bolt 17 connecting the wheel sectors 5, while the other end can be fixed in different positions on the arm 12.
  • the footboard 8 is attached for the user.
  • This footboard 8 has a holding plate 8c with an adjustable heel pad 11 and with an automatically adjustable and lockable pad 9 for the user's feet.
  • This support 9 is attached to an actuating lever 13 and is pressed lightly against the foot of the user by a spring element, furthermore this support is slidably guided in a guide groove 8b which is tangent in its end region to a straight line parallel to the leg extension of the user.
  • the user can comfortably position the feet on the running board 8 between the elastic heel pad 11 and the elastic rich pad 9.
  • the rich pads 9 are pressed lightly against the feet and, as soon as there is a tendency for the feet to lift off the footboard 8, the rich pads 9 will increase their contact pressure because they move with their holder within the guide groove 8a and so on Effect approximation of the rich pads 9 against the feet and block the feet.
  • the knee pad 10a can be adjustably mounted on the bolt 10 or on an extension of the lever 12 so that it acts as a pelvic pad in the case of a tilted position of the user with legs drawn up. This arrangement of the pad 10a also enables Perform a series of exercises to strengthen the leg muscles.
  • the device can also serve as a wall bar by tilting the support surface 7d and fitting the arm 12 with a plurality of bars instead of the footboard 8, 8c.
  • the healing and gymnastics multipurpose device enables the swiveling of the entire body of the user in different angular positions as well as the complete tilting position, it enables different angles of the legs to the upper body during all swiveling positions and it enables the upper body of the user to be supported in different inclinations during the swiveling the rest of the body; the positions themselves and the adjustments can be carried out by the user himself in absolute safety.
