In such leap he is aided by the resilient board. A front region of the board rises from the front convexly toward the rear in a arcuate manner, the arcuate region merging with an approximately horizontal flat region. The transitional region and/or the flat region serves a support face.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Turngerät zum Ausführen pferdsprungartiger Übungen, bei denen der Turner zur Geräte-Vorderseite hin anläuft, sich mit den Händen auf dem Gerät kurzzeitig abstützt und das Gerät in Richtung von vorne nach hinten überfliegt, mit einem von einem untergestell in der Höhe gehaltenen und an seiner Oberseite eine Abstützfläche für die Hände des Turners bildende, federnden Oberteil.The invention relates to a gymnastics apparatus for performing horse jump-like Exercises in which the gymnast to the device front starts running, with his hands on the Device is briefly supported and the device in the direction of flipped over to the front, with one of an undercarriage held in height and at its top a support surface for the hands of the gymnast forming, resilient Top.

Übliche Sprungpferde, wie sie beispielsweise aus der DE 3 426 112 A bekannt sind, weisen einen Pferdekörper mit balkenähnlicher Längsgestalt als Oberteil und vier Standbeine an den Endbereichen des Pferdekörpers als Untergestell auf. Solche Sprungpferde werden beim Männerturnen parallel und beim Frauenturnen quer zur Anlaufrichtung aufgestellt. Im ersteren Falle ergibt sich eine in Sprungrichtung lange, dabei jedoch schmale Abstützfläche, während im zweiten Falle die Abstützfläche zwar breit, dafür aber sehr kurz ist. Diese verhältnismäßig kleine Abstützfläche ist nicht ungefährlich und kann bei einem Fehlgriff des Turners zu schweren Verletzungen führen. Usual jumping horses, as they are known for example from DE 3 426 112 A, have a horse body with beam-like Longitudinal shape as a top and four legs the end of the horse's body as a base. Such jumping horses become parallel in men's gymnastics and set up at the women's gymnastics across the starting direction. in the former case results in a jump long, but narrow support surface, while in the second If the support surface is wide, but very short is. This relatively small support surface is not harmless and can in case of a mistake by the gymnast too cause serious injury.

Ferner sind die Sprungpferde an ihrer die Abstützfläche bildenden Oberseite zwar gepolstert. Trotzdem wirken vor allem auf die Handgelenke des Turners verhältnismäßig starke Schläge ein.Furthermore, the jump horses are at their the support surface though upholstering the top. Nevertheless, they act especially on the wrists of the gymnast strong blows.

Die bekannten Sprungpferde sind außerdem verhältnismäßig unhandlich und platzaufwendig.The well-known jumping horses are also relative unwieldy and space consuming.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Turngerät der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, mit dem sich die Pferdsprungübungen ebenfalls ausführen lassen, wobei das Turngerät ohne Richtungsänderung sowohl für das Männerturnen als auch für das Frauenturnen verwendbar sein soll. Ferner soll das Verletzungsrisiko des Turners gering sein. Des weiteren soll die neue Gerätekonzeption einen handlichen und wenig sperrigen Aufbau ermöglichen.The present invention is therefore based on the object a gymnastics device of the type mentioned create, with which the horse jumping exercises also let run, the gymnastics without changing direction for both men's gymnastics and women's gymnastics should be usable. Furthermore, the risk of injury the gymnast be low. Furthermore, the new should Device design a handy and less bulky Enable construction.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß das Oberteil von einer federnd am Untergestell angeordneten Platte gebildet wird, deren vorderer Bereich von vorne unten bogenförmig konvex nach oben hinten hin ansteigt, wobei der bogenförmige Bereich in einen etwa horizontalen Flachbereich übergeht und der Obergangsbereich und/oder der Flachbereich als Abstützfläche dient. This object is achieved in that the Upper part of a resiliently arranged on the base Plate is formed, whose front area from the front downwards arcuately convex upwards towards the back, wherein the arcuate portion in an approximately horizontal Flat area passes and the transition area and / or the flat area serves as a support surface.

Ein solches Gerät stellt sozusagen einen Sprungtisch dar, dessen Platte in Sprungrichtung und quer hierzu mit solchen Abmessungen versehen werden kann, daß der Turner auch bei ungünstigen Verhältnissen nicht danebengreifen kann. Andererseits ist eine mit Bezug auf ein herkömmliches Sprungpferd wesentlich kürzere Ausbildung bei weitem ausreichend, so daß der Platzbedarf kleiner ist. Des weiteren gibt die Abstützfläche beim Auftreffen des Turners federnd nach, so daß eine gewisse Dämpfung auftritt und außerdem der Turner durch das Zurückfedern der Platte eine für die erreichbare Sprunghöhe und -weite günstige Sprungunterstützung erhält.Such a device represents a leap table, so to speak, its plate in the jump direction and transverse to this Such dimensions can be provided that the gymnast even in unfavorable conditions do not fall by can. On the other hand, with reference to a conventional one Jumping horse significantly shorter training at far enough, so that the space requirement is smaller. Furthermore, the support surface when hitting the Turners resiliently, so that a certain damping occurs and also the gymnast by the springing back of the Plate one for the achievable jump height and width get cheap jump support.

Eine besonders große Sicherheit für den Turner ergibt sich durch den bogenförmig ansteigenden vorderen Bereich. Falls der Turner seine Übung aus irgendeinem Grunde abbricht oder den richtigen Absprung verpaßt, so daß er gegen die Geräte-Vorderseite rennt, fällt er mit seinem Oberkörper gegen den abgerundet ansteigenden vorderen Plattenbereich, wodurch die auftretenden Kräfte wesentlich günstiger als bei Vorhandensein einer vertikalen Prallfläche und/oder einer Kante verteilt werden.A particularly great security for the gymnast arises through the arched rising front area. If the gymnast stops his exercise for some reason or missed the right jump, so that he against the Device front runs, he falls with his upper body against the rounded rising front plate area, whereby the forces occurring much cheaper than in the presence of a vertical baffle and / or be distributed over an edge.

Der bogenförmige Bereich und sein fließender Übergang in den horizontalen Flachbereich bringt den weiteren Vorteil mit sich, daß dem Turner unterschiedlich geneigte Stellen zum Aufsetzen und Abstützen seiner Hände zur Verfügung stehen, so daß jeder Turner die für ihn und die jeweilige Übung am besten geeignete Stelle wählen kann.The arcuate area and its flowing transition into the horizontal flat area brings the further advantage with it, that the turner differently inclined places for putting on and supporting his hands stand so that every gymnast for him and the respective Exercise can choose the most suitable place.

Das aus der Zeichnung hervorgehende Turngerät 1 steht beim Gebrauch in der aus Fig. 1 hervorgehenden Lage auf dem Boden. Es dient zum Ausführen pferdsprungartiger Übungen, bei denen der Turner in Richtung gemäß Pfeil 2 zur Geräte-Vorderseite 3 hin anläuft, mit den vorgestreckten Händen auf das Gerät aufsetzt und sich dort kurzzeitig abstützt und anschließend das Gerät über die Geräte-Rückseite 4 nach hinten hin verläßt. Der Turner überfliegt also das Gerät in Verlängerung seiner Anlaufstrecke in dem Pfeil 2 entsprechender Richtung von vorne nach hinten, wobei er den jeweiligen Sprung ausführt.The resulting from the drawing gymnastics device 1 is at Use in the resulting from Fig. 1 position on the Ground. It is used to perform horse jump-like exercises, in which the gymnast in the direction indicated by arrow 2 to Device front 3 starts towards, with the prestretched Hands on the device touches and there is briefly supported and then the device via the back of the device 4 leaves to the rear. The gymnast overflies that Device in extension of its run-up distance in the arrow 2 corresponding direction from front to back, where he performs the respective jump.

Das Turngerät 1 weist ein Untergestell 5 und ein von diesem in der Höhe gehaltenes Oberteil 6 auf, das an seiner Oberseite 7 eine Abstützfläche 8 bildet, an der der Turner mit seinen Händen aufsetzt. Die genaue Stelle, wo der Turner auf die Abstützfläche 8 greift, kann je nach Turner und der jeweiligen Sprungübung variieren.The gymnastics device 1 has a base frame 5 and a of this held in height top 6, the on his top 7 forms a support surface 8, at the Turner with his hands down. The exact place where the gymnast attacks on the support surface 8, depending on Turner and the respective jump exercise vary.

Das Oberteil 6 wird von einer federnd am Untergestell 5 angeordneten Platte 9 gebildet, deren vorderer Bereich 10 von vorne unten bogenförmig konvex nach oben hinten ansteigt, wobei der bogenförmige Bereich 10 nach hinten hin in einen etwa horizontalen Flachbereich 11 übergeht. Der Übergangsbereich zwischen dem Bogenbereich 10 und dem Flachbereich 11 und/oder der Flachbereich 11 können als Abstützfläche 8 für den Turner dienen.The upper part 6 is of a spring on the base. 5 arranged plate 9 is formed, the front portion of the 10th from the front downwards arched convex upwards towards the back, the arcuate portion 10 towards the rear merges into an approximately horizontal flat region 11. Of the Transition region between the arc portion 10 and the Flat area 11 and / or the flat area 11 can as Support surface 8 serve for the gymnast.

Das Turngerät 1 bildet sozusagen einen Sprungtisch mit der Platte 9 als Tischplatte. Der die Abstützfläche 8 bildende Bereich der Platte 9 befindet sich in einer Höhe von etwa 1 m bis 1,4 m, also etwa in Brusthöhe, wobei sich die genaue Höhenlage nach der Körpergröße des Turners richtet. The gymnastics device 1 forms, so to speak, a leap table with the Plate 9 as a tabletop. Of the support surface 8 forming Area of the plate 9 is located at a height of about 1 m to 1.4 m, ie at chest level, where the accurate altitude depends on the height of the gymnast.

Der von vorne nach hinten mit abnehmender Steigung verlaufende Bogenbereich 10 schützt den Turner bei einem Aufprall. Der Bogenbereich 10 läuft vorne unten aus, d. h. es ist kein nach vorne hin vorstehender Bereich mehr vorhanden, der die Verletzungsgefahr für den Turner erhöhen würde. Ein unabsichtlich gegen den Bogenbereich 10 prallender Turner kann auf den Bogenbereich 10 aufgleiten, so daß dem Aufprall die Wucht genommen wird.The front to back with decreasing slope running Bow area 10 protects the gymnast in an impact. The bow area 10 runs out front down, d. H. it if there is no forwardly projecting area, which increase the risk of injury to the gymnast would. An unintentionally against the bow area 10 bouncing gymnast can slip onto the arch area 10, so that the impact is taken the force.

Die Platte 9 ist zweckmäßigerweise mit ihrem bogenförmigen Bereich 10 am Untergestell 5 befestigt und erstreckt sich von der Befestigungsstelle 12 aus frei auskragend nach hinten, so daß die Platte 9 eine blattfederartige Anordnung bildet. Setzt der Turner mit seinen Händen auf der Platte 9 auf, gibt diese elastisch nach, wie in Fig. 1 strichpunktiert angedeutet ist. Dieses Federverhalten ergibt sozusagen eine Stoßdämpfung beim Auftreffen des Turners und begünstigt dessen anschließenden Sprung.The plate 9 is suitably with its arcuate Area 10 attached to the base 5 and extends from the attachment point 12 from freely cantilevering behind, so that the plate 9 is a leaf spring-like arrangement forms. The gymnast puts his hands on the Plate 9, this gives way elastically, as in Fig. 1st indicated by dash-dotted lines. This spring behavior results so to speak, a shock absorption when hitting the Turners and favors its subsequent jump.

Die Platte 9 ist mit ihrem vorne unten befindlichen Endbereich 13 am Untergestell 5 befestigt. Dies kann mit Hilfe von strichpunktiert angedeuteten Befestigungsschrauben 14 erfolgen. Dabei ist die Platte 9 mit ihrer der Oberseite 7 entgegengesetzten Unterseite am Untergestell 5 angebracht. The plate 9 is with its front lower end region 13 attached to the base frame 5. This can with Help with dotted line indicated fastening screws 14 done. In this case, the plate 9 with her the top 7 opposite bottom on the base 5 attached.

In diesem Zusammenhang kann zweckmäßigerweise vorgesehen sein, daß die Platte 9 in Richtung von vorne nach hinten bzw. umgekehrt verstellbar mit dem Untergestell 5 verbunden ist. Löst man die Befestigungsschrauben 14, kann die Platte 9 mit ihrem Bogenbereich 10 in Bogenrichtung 15 verschoben und in der jeweils gewünschten Lage wieder festgestellt werden. Bei einem solchen Verstellen verändert sich die Neigung der Platte 9, so daß diese auf eine gewünschte Neigung einjustiert werden kann.In this context may be provided appropriately be that the plate 9 in the direction from front to back or vice versa adjustably connected to the base 5 is. If one loosens the fastening screws 14, can the plate 9 with its arc portion 10 in the bow direction 15th moved and again in the desired position be determined. In such an adjustment changed the inclination of the plate 9, so that these on a desired inclination can be adjusted.

Eine weitere zweckmäßige Ausgestaltung besteht darin, daß die Befestigungsstelle 12, an der die Platte 9 befestigt ist, federnd am Untergestell 5 angeordnet ist, derart, daß der vorne unten befindliche Endbereich 13 der Platte 9 etwas nach vorne oben schwenkt, wenn sich der Turner auf der Platte 9 abstützt. In Fig. 1 ist der sich bei einer Belastung von oben her ergebende Verlauf der Platte 9 strichpunktiert angedeutet. Es tritt also eine zweifache Federung auf, zum einen durch das eigenelastische Verhalten der Platte 9 und zum anderen durch das Anbringen der Platte 9 an einer federnden Stelle des Untergestells 5. Dies ergibt, daß die Platte 9 hinten nach unten (Pfeil 16) und vorne etwas nach vorne oben (Pfeil 17) ausgelenkt wird.A further advantageous embodiment is that the attachment point 12, secured to the plate 9 is resiliently disposed on the base frame 5, such that the front lower end portion 13 of the plate. 9 Something swings upwards when the gymnast gets up the plate 9 is supported. In Fig. 1 is at a Load from above resulting course of the plate. 9 indicated by dash-dotted lines. So there is a twofold Suspension on, on the one hand by the inherent elastic behavior the plate 9 and on the other by attaching the plate 9 at a resilient point of the undercarriage 5. This indicates that the plate 9 back down (arrow 16) and slightly forward at the front (arrow 17) deflected becomes.

Beim Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Platte 9 an einer Blattfederanordnung 18 des Untergestells 5 befestigt. Dabei bildet die Blattfederanordnung 18 zweckmäßigerweise einen in Seitenansicht der Unterseite des bogenförmigen Plattenbereichs 10 gegenüberliegenden Federbogen 19, der sich von seinem freien, die Platte 9 tragenden Endbereich 20 aus gleichsinnig und mit stärkerer Krümmung als der gebogen verlaufende vordere Plattenbereich 10 nach hinten erstreckt. Der Federbogen 19 entfernt sich also hinter der Befestigungsstelle 12 von der Platte 9, so daß deren Durchfedern nach unten hin gemäß Pfeil 16 nicht behindert wird.In the embodiment, the plate 9 is on a leaf spring assembly 18 of the undercarriage 5 attached. there forms the leaf spring assembly 18 expediently a in side view of the underside of the arcuate plate area 10 opposite spring bow 19, extending from its free, the plate 9 carrying end portion 20 off in the same direction and with greater curvature than the curved one extending front plate portion 10 extends to the rear. The spring bow 19 thus removes behind the Fixing point 12 of the plate 9, so that their Spring downwards not obstructed according to arrow 16 becomes.

Bei dem Federn der Platte 9, wenn der Turner auf sie greift und sich auf ihr abstützt, biegt sich der Federbogen 19 etwas auf, so daß die nach vorne oben gerichtete Schwehkbewegüng gemäß Pfeil 17 des vorderen Platten-Endbereichs 13 diesem elastischen Aufbiegen des Federbogens 19 entspricht.When the springs of the plate 9, when the gymnast on them grasps and rests on it, bends the bow 19 something on, so that the forward facing upwards Schwuhkbewegüng according to arrow 17 of the front plate end portion 13 this elastic bending of the spring bow 19 corresponds.

Die Blattfederanordnung 18 weist in Seitenansicht zweckmäßigerweise etwa die Gestalt eines auf dem Kopf stehenden "J" auf und bildet anschließend an ihren Federbogen 19 einen linearen Bereich 21, der vertikal verläuft und am restlichen Untergestell 22 festgelegt ist.The leaf spring assembly 18 has in side view expediently about the shape of an upside down "J" on and then forms her bow 19th a linear region 21 that runs vertically and on remaining sub-frame 22 is fixed.

Aus der Zeichnung geht ferner hervor, daß die Blattfederanordnung 18 von zwei in Querrichtung mit Abstand a zueinander angeordneten Paaren von Flachbandstücken 23a, 23b bzw. 24a, 24b gebildet wird. Bei jedem Paar überdecken sich die beiden Flachbandstücke 23a, 23b bzw. 24a, 24b in Draufsicht und verlaufen in Seitenansicht (Fig. 1) nebeneinander, wobei die beiden Flachbandstücke 23a, 23b bzw. 24a, 24b an der jeweiligen Befestigungsstelle 12 der Platte 9 aufeinander angeordnet sind und sich anschließend dem Federbogen 19 entlang voneinander entfernen, so daß ihre linearen, vertikal verlaufenden Bereiche 21 am restlichen Untergestell 22 mit Abstand zueinander angeordnet sind.From the drawing also shows that the leaf spring assembly 18 of two in the transverse direction at a distance a to each other arranged pairs of ribbon pieces 23a, 23b or 24a, 24b is formed. Cover each pair the two ribbon pieces 23a, 23b and 24a, 24b in Top view and run side-by-side in side view (FIG. 1), wherein the two ribbon pieces 23 a, 23 b or 24a, 24b at the respective attachment point 12 of Plate 9 are arranged on top of each other and then remove the spring bow 19 along each other, so that their linear, vertically extending areas 21 on the rest Underframe 22 spaced from each other are.

Es versteht sich, daß man anstelle der beiden Flachbandstückpaare auch nur ein solches Flachbandstückpaar vorsehnen kann, das entsprechend stabil ausgebildet ist. Ferner müssen die Flachbandstücke nicht paarweise vorhanden sein, da auch jeweils ein einzelnes Flachbandstück bei geeignetem Querschnitt ausreichen würde. Die paarweise Anordnung der Flachbandstücke 23a, 23b bzw. 24a, 24b ergibt einen etwas günstigeren Halt der Blattfederanordnung am restlichen Untergestell 22.It is understood that instead of the two flat ribbon piece pairs even just pretend such a ribbon piece pair can, which is designed to be stable. Furthermore, the flat ribbon pieces do not have to be present in pairs be, since in each case a single ribbon piece would suffice for a suitable cross section. The pairs Arrangement of the flat strip pieces 23a, 23b and 24a, 24b results a slightly cheaper hold the leaf spring assembly on the rest of the base 22.

Bei jedem Paar von Flachbandstücken können die beiden Flachbandstücke 23a, 23b bzw. 24a, 24b, wie bereits erwähnt, mit ihren freien Endbereichen aufeinanderliegen. Sie können hier miteinander verschweißt oder beispielsweise mit Hilfe von Schrauben miteinander verschraubt sein, wozu die jeweilige Befestigungsschraube 14 dienen kann, mit der die Platte 9 angeschraubt wird.For each pair of ribbon pieces, the two Flat tape pieces 23a, 23b and 24a, 24b, as already mentioned, with their free end areas on each other. she can be welded together here or for example be screwed together with the help of screws, including the respective fastening screw 14 can serve with the the plate 9 is screwed.

Die Blattfederanordnung 18 wird also von mindestens einem Flachbandstück gebildet. Als Material kommt insbesondere Metall in Frage.The leaf spring assembly 18 is thus of at least one Flat strip piece formed. As material comes in particular Metal in question.

Die Platte 9 ist in der Höhe verstellbar angeordnet. Hierzu kann der lineare, vertikal verlaufende Bereich 21 der Blattfederanordnung 18 höhenverstellbar am restlichen Untergestell festgelegt sein.The plate 9 is arranged adjustable in height. For this can the linear, vertical area 21 of the Leaf spring assembly 18 height adjustable on the rest Base be set.

Das Untergestell 5 weist zweckmäßigerweise einen im wesentlichen zentral unterhalb der Platte 9 angeordneten Ständer 25 auf, der unten über fußartige Ausleger 26 auf dem Boden steht. Der Ständer 25 bildet beim Ausführungsbeispiel das restliche Untergestell 22, wobei der lineare Bereich 21 der Blattfederanordnung 18 von oben her in den Ständer 25 eintaucht und in diesem höhenverstellbar geführt ist. Eine von außen her mittels einer Handhabe 27 betätigbare Feststelleinrichtung dient zum Feststellen der Blattfederanordnung 18 in der jeweils eingestellten Höhe. Von der Feststelleinrichtung ist nur die Handhabe 27 angedeutet. Es kann sich beispielsweise um eine Klemmeinrichtung handeln.The base frame 5 has expediently in the essentially arranged centrally below the plate 9 Stand 25 on, the bottom of foot-like boom 26 on standing on the ground. The stator 25 forms in the embodiment the remaining base 22, wherein the linear Area 21 of the leaf spring assembly 18 from above in the Stand 25 dips and guided in this height adjustable is. One from the outside by means of a handle 27 actuatable locking device is used to determine the Leaf spring assembly 18 in the set height. Of the locking device only the handle 27 is indicated. It may, for example, a clamping device act.

Eine weitere zweckmäßige Maßnahme besteht darin, daß der hintere Endbereich 28 der Platte 9 in Seitenansicht bogenförmig etwas hochgebogen ist. Dieser hochgebogene Endbereich 28 schließt sich an den Flachbereich 11 an. Der hochgebogene Endbereich 28 zeigt dem anlaufenden Turner deutlich sichtbar an, wo die Platte 9 hinten endet. Außerdem verhindert er ein unabsichtliches Abrutschen des Turners nach hinten hin.Another expedient measure is that the rear end portion 28 of the plate 9 in a side view arcuate something is bent up. This bent end area 28 connects to the flat area 11. Of the bent end section 28 shows the approaching gymnast clearly visible where the plate 9 ends at the back. Furthermore it prevents unintentional slipping of the Turners backwards.

Wie sich aus den Fig. 2 und 3 ergibt, kann der hintere Plattenrand 29 in Draufsicht eine bogenartig konvex verlaufende Kontur aufweisen, so daß er in der Plattenmitte weiter hochsteht als an den Plattenseiten.As is apparent from Figs. 2 and 3, the rear Plate edge 29 in plan view a curved convex running Contour, so that he in the middle of the plate is still higher than on the sides of the plate.

Die Platte 9 kann eine quadrat- oder rechteckähnliche Gestalt besitzen. Insbesondere aus Fig. 3 geht hervor, daß in der Draufsicht die Platte 9 in Richtung von vorne nach hinten nur etwas größer als in der dazu rechtwinkeligen Querrichtung ist. Selbstverständlich können diese Abmessungen auch etwas anders gewählt werden, wobei man zweckmäßigerweise vorsehen kann, daß die Platte 9 in der einen Richtung nicht mehr als doppelt so groß wie in der anderen Richtung ist. The plate 9 may be a square or a rectangle-like Own shape. In particular, from Fig. 3 it is apparent that in the plan view, the plate 9 in the direction from the front behind only slightly larger than in the right-angled Transverse direction is. Of course, these dimensions also be chosen something different, where you expediently can provide that the plate 9 in the a direction no more than twice as large as in the other direction is.

Die Platte 9 kann prinzipiell aus verschiedenem Material hergestellt sein. Zweckmäßigerweise ist hier vorgesehen, daß die Platte 9 im wesentlichen von einer aus Kunststoff, insbesondere Glasfasermaterial, oder Metallblech bestehenden Platte mit einem oberseitigen Plattenbelag gebildet wird. Die Platte 9 könnte jedoch auch aus Holz bestehen.The plate 9 can in principle be made of different material be prepared. Appropriately, it is provided here that the plate 9 is essentially made of a plastic, in particular glass fiber material, or sheet metal existing Plate formed with a top plate plate becomes. However, the plate 9 could also be made of wood.
