Abstract

Apparatus for the practicing of gymnastics in the water without the linear movement of the user, including a frame, pedal mechanism, a system of transmission by means of a cascade of pinions, adjustable blades which allow a more or less great resistance of the water and a means of supporting the user either in a seated vertical position, for the exercising of his lower limbs, seat, handlebars or in a horizontal position, for the exercising of the upper limbs after modifications to the seat and the handlebars.

Description

AQUA BIKE AQUA BIKE
L'invention concerne un vélo de piscine ou AQUA BIKE pour les professionnels, kinésithérapeutes, centres de remise en forme, aquagym et centres de thalassothérapies ou particuliers.The invention relates to a pool bike or AQUA BIKE for professionals, physiotherapists, fitness centers, aqua gym and thalassotherapy centers or individuals.
Il existe déjà l'aquagym et le pédalage libre dans l'eau sans rien, ni aucun appareil permettant un bon travail articulaire et mécanique, car on connaît depuis peu tous les bienfaits d'un travail dans l'eau.There is already aquagym and free pedaling in water without anything or any device allowing good joint and mechanical work, because we have recently known all the benefits of working in water.
Un tel travail a permis de mettre au point le vélo de piscine ou AQUA BIKE. Il s'agit d'un vélo entièrement immergé pour que l'on puisse pédaler dans l'eau jusqu'à hauteur du bassin.Such work has made it possible to perfect the pool bike or AQUA BIKE. It is a fully submerged bicycle so that you can pedal in the water to the height of the pool.
La présente invention concerne un vélo ou AQUA BIKE pour pédaler dans l'eau.The present invention relates to a bicycle or AQUA BIKE for pedaling in water.
Le vélo est suspendu à une échelle inox ou support en polyester, sur le bord de la piscine.The bike hangs on a stainless steel ladder or polyester support, on the edge of the pool.
L'avantage, c'est que l'on peut retirer le vélo à tout moment sans aucune manipulation importante. Le vélo a un entraînement avec un pédalier, un axe et moyeu arrière. L'entraînement du mécanisme se fait par courroie crantée.The advantage is that you can remove the bike at any time without any significant manipulation. The bike has a drive with a crankset, an axle and rear hub. The mechanism is driven by a toothed belt.
Tout en ayant ces avantages, l'AQUA BIKE présente des inconvénients ou difficultés car c'est un vélo qui est immergé dans l'eau et en eau de mer chaude avec des traitements (centre de thalasso). Là intervient la qualité et la recherche de matériaux appropriés.While having these advantages, the AQUA BIKE has disadvantages or difficulties because it is a bicycle which is immersed in water and in warm sea water with treatments (thalassotherapy center). Here comes the quality and the search for suitable materials.
La difficulté pour obtenir plusieurs paliers de résistance.The difficulty in obtaining several levels of resistance.
L'invention a pour but de pouvoir améliorer le travail, les amplitudes, la progression dans un cadre de fitness aquatique ou simplement dans un cadre de rééducation. The invention aims to be able to improve the work, the amplitudes, the progression in an aquatic fitness setting or simply in a rehabilitation setting.
Conformément à l'invention, ce but est d'atteindre grâce à l'entraînement par pédalage de 4 pales qui elles mêmes pivotent sur un axe pour pouvoir obtenir plus ou moins de résistance suivant l'ouverture.In accordance with the invention, this object is to be achieved by means of the pedaling drive of 4 blades which themselves pivot on an axis in order to be able to obtain more or less resistance depending on the opening.
En référence au dessin joint pour lequel :With reference to the attached drawing for which:
La figure 1 est une vue en plan du cadre avant de l'AQUA BIKE.Figure 1 is a plan view of the front frame of the AQUA BIKE.
La figure 2 est une partie du cadre arrière de l'AQUA BIKE.Figure 2 is a part of the rear frame of the AQUA BIKE.
La figure 3 représente une vue de l'AQUA BIKE avec son système de pédalage et d'entraînement.Figure 3 shows a view of the AQUA BIKE with its pedaling and drive system.
La figure 4 représente les axes avant et arrière avec poulies, manivelles et système.Figure 4 shows the front and rear axes with pulleys, cranks and system.
La figure 5 représente le deuxième système d'entraînement appelé cascade de pignons (un pignon entraîne l'autre pignon et en suivant).FIG. 5 represents the second drive system called cascade of pinions (one pinion drives the other pinion and following).
La figure 6 représente le pied de l'AQUA BIKE. Figure 6 shows the foot of the AQUA BIKE.
