Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Trainingsgerät nach dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1.The present invention relates to a training device according to the Preamble of claim 1.

Derartige Trainingsgeräte für die Stärkung der Rücken- resp. Beckenmuskulatur werden heute häufig in Fitnesscenters zur individuellen, selbständigen Benutzung oder in Therapiestudios unter Anleitung und Hilfestellung von Fachpersonal eingesetzt.Such training devices for strengthening the back resp. Pelvic muscles are often used in fitness centers for individual, independent use or in therapy studios used under the guidance and assistance of qualified personnel.

Dabei sollen die in Fitnesscenters eingesetzten Geräte möglichst einfach zu bedienen sein und dabei die grösstmögliche Effizient erzielen, wobei die Geräte in verhältnismässig grossen Stückzahlen und möglichst kostengünstig hergestellt werden sollen. Vom Aufbau bestehen diese Geräte in der Regel aus einer Rahmenkonstruktion mit integrierten, verstellbaren Gewichtskörpern, mit welchen die Belastung in diskreten Stufen eingestellt werden kann, sowie einer damit verbundenen Betätigungsorgan und einer manuell verstellbaren Sitzeinheit mit Fixiereinrichtungen. Das Gerät muss dabei von der trainierenden Person selbständig bedient werden können, insbesondere müssen die Einstellungen von dieser selbst ohne fremde Hilfe erfolgen können.The devices used in fitness centers should as possible easy to use and the greatest possible Achieve efficient, with the devices in relatively large Quantities and as cheaply as possible should. The construction of these devices usually consist of a frame construction with integrated, adjustable weight bodies, with which the load in discrete stages can be adjusted, and an associated actuator and a manually adjustable seat unit with fixing devices. The device must be trained by the exerciser Person can be operated independently, in particular must the settings are done by himself without outside help can.

Im Gegensatz dazu sind die für therapeutische Zwecke konzipierten Geräte in der Regel wesentlich komplizierter und aufwendiger aufgebaut, um eine möglichst optimale und individuelle Anpassung sowohl der Fixiermittel und Bewegungsorgane wie auch der Belastungseinstellung zu ermöglichen. Diese Einstellungen werden bei diesen Geräten durch eine Hilfsperson vorgenommen, so dass die Einstellmöglichkeiten nicht auf die Bedienbarkeit durch die trainierende Person ausgerichtet werden müssen. Der aufwendigere Aufbau umfasst bei solchen Geräten auch zusätzliche, aufwändige und teurere Verstellmittel wie elektrische Zusatzgeräte oder kontinuierliche Einstellmöglichkeiten. Derartige Geräte sind damit auch wesentlich teurer als die vorgängig beschriebenen individuellen Trainingsgeräte.In contrast, those designed for therapeutic purposes Devices usually much more complicated and expensive built to the best possible and individual Adaptation of both the fixative and motor organs like also to allow the load adjustment. These settings are performed on these devices by an assistant, so the setting options do not affect the usability be aligned by the exercising person have to. The more complex structure includes such devices Also, additional, complex and expensive adjustment means such electrical accessories or continuous Settings. Such devices are so synonymous much more expensive than the previously described individual training devices.

Aus der US 5,104,121 ist nun ein Trainingsgerät für das Rumpf- resp. Rückentraining bekannt, bei welchem ein gegen Gewichte bewegbares Rückenpolster angeordnet ist. Das Rückenpolster ist dabei mittels einer über feste Umlenkzahnräder laufenden, zweiteilige Kette mit den Gewichten verbunden. Um die Ausgangslage des Rückenpolsters einzustellen, ist ein über einen Handgriff zu betätigendes, mechanisches Kupplungselement vorgesehen, über welches die beiden Teile der Kette miteinander verbunden sind und damit die Länge der Verbindung zwischen Rückenpolster und Gewicht einstellbar macht. Damit wird die Ausgangsposition des Rückenpolsters eingestellt. From US 5,104,121 is now a training device for the Fuselage resp. Back training known in which a against Weights of movable back cushion is arranged. The Back pad is by means of a fixed over Umlenkzahnräder running, two-piece chain with the Connected weights. To the initial position of the back pad is a one-touch operation, provided mechanical coupling element, via which the Both parts of the chain are connected to each other and thus the length of the connection between back cushion and weight adjustable. This will be the starting position of the Back pad set.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung lag nun darin, ein derartiges Trainingsgerät insbesondere für das Rückentraining zu finden, welches sich als individuell bedienbares Trainingsgerät bei hohem Bedienkomfort einsetzen lässt und die beschriebenen Nachteile der herkömmlichen Geräte dieser Gattung behebt.The object of the present invention was to provide such a Training device especially for the back training too which turns out to be an individually operable training device can be used with high ease of use and the described Disadvantages of conventional devices of this genus fixes.

    Figur 1 zeigt das Trainingsgerät 1 in der Ruhe- resp. Einstiegposition. In dieser Position kann ein Benutzer resp. Trainierender 2 das Gerät wie dargestellt besteigen. Das Trainingsgerät besitzt einen im wesentlichen bekannten herkömmlichen Aufbau mit einem aus Rohrelementen aufgebauten Geräterahmen 3 mit darin angeordneten, vertikal bewegbar geführten Gewichtsplatten 4, welche zur Einstellung der Belastung in unterschiedlicher Kombination miteinander verbunden werden können. Weiter ist ein Sitz 5 mit Rückenteil 6 angeordnet. Vorzugsweise ist der Sitz 5 gegenüber dem Rahmen verstellbar ausgeführt und weist eine gepolsterte Sitzfläche auf. Das Rückenteil 6 ist vorzugsweise in Form einer gepolsterten Rolle ausgebildet, welche ggf. gegenüber der Sitzfläche verstellbar ausgebildet sein kann. Weiter ist eine verstellbare Fussstütze 7 vorhanden, welche vor dem Besteigen des Trainingsgerätes 1 entsprechend der Körpergrösse des Trainierenden 2 eingestellt, resp. positioniert wird. Ferner sind an die Schienbeine des Trainierenden 2 in Anlage gelangende Beinstützen 8 zur Fixierung der Beine vorhanden, welche ebenfalls vorzugsweise eine Polsterung aufweisen.Figure 1 shows the training device 1 in the rest resp. Entry-level position. In this position, a user resp. Trainer 2 climb the device as shown. The training device has a substantially known conventional Structure with a built-up of tubular elements device frame 3 arranged therein, vertically movable guided weight plates 4, which for adjusting the load in different Combination can be linked together. Next, a seat 5 is arranged with back part 6. Preferably is the seat 5 made adjustable relative to the frame and has a padded seat. The back part 6 is preferably in the form of a padded roll, which possibly adjustable with respect to the seat can be trained. Next is an adjustable footrest 7 present, which before climbing the training device. 1 set according to the size of the exerciser 2, respectively. is positioned. Furthermore, the shins of the Exercising 2 leg rests 8 reaching into attachment for fixation the legs present, which also preferably one Have upholstery.

    Der Trainierende kann nun, wie in der Figur 1 dargestellt, das Trainingsgerät 1 besteigen und wird durch den Sitz 5, das Rükkenteil 6, die Fussstütze 7 und die Beinstützen 8 im Beinbereich fixiert gestützt. Gegebenenfalls können im Übrigen auch noch Beckengurte (nicht dargestellt) vorgesehen sein, um ein Abheben des Gesässes des Trainierenden 2 während der Durchführung der Uebungen zu verhindern.The trainee can now, as shown in the figure 1, the Training device 1 and climb through the seat 5, the Rükkenteil 6, the footrest 7 and leg supports 8 in the leg area fixedly supported. If necessary, by the way, too even lap belts (not shown) should be provided to one Lift off the buttocks of trainee 2 during the execution to prevent the exercises.

    Aus dieser Einstiegposition kann nun der Trainierende 2 durch Anheben des Hebels 9 über ein Umlenkelement 10 auf das Verbindungsmittel 11 einwirken, welches die Gewichtsplatten 4 über Umlenkrollen 12 mit dem Rückenpolster 13 verbinden, wie dies in Figur 2 dargestellt ist. Damit wird das Rückenpolster 13 gegen den oberen Rückenbereich der trainierenden Person 2 gedrückt und entsprechend der Grösse und Statur dieser Person in dieser Lage vorzugsweise durch Einrastung des Hebels 9 in der entsprechenden Position in dieser Ausgangsposition fixiert, wie dies in Figur 3 dargestellt ist.From this entry position can now the trainee 2 through Lifting the lever 9 via a deflecting element 10 on the connecting means 11 act, which the weight plates. 4 connect over pulleys 12 with the back pad 13, as this is shown in FIG. This will be the back cushion 13 against the upper back region of the exercising person 2 pressed and according to the size and stature of this person in this position, preferably by latching the lever 9 in the corresponding position fixed in this starting position, as shown in Figure 3.

    Der Trainierende 2 kann nun das Rückentraining durchführen, indem er von der Ausgangsposition durch Beugen des Rumpfes resp. Rückens nach hinten gegen die auf das Rückenpolster 13 einwirkenden Gewichtsplatten 4 den Oberkörper in die belastete Endposition, wie in Figur 4 dargestellt, gelangt. Diese Bewegungen werden nun entsprechend dem Trainingsprogramm mehrfach wiederholt bis sich der Trainierende am Ende wieder in der Ausgangsposition wie in Figur 5 dargestellt befindet.Trainer 2 can now do the back training, by starting from the starting position by bending the trunk respectively. Back to the back against the on the back pad 13 acting weight plates 4 the upper body in the loaded End position, as shown in Figure 4, passes. These movements will be repeated according to the training program Repeats until the trainee returns to the end Starting position as shown in Figure 5 is shown.

    Durch Absenken des Hebels 9 nach unten, nach dem Lösen der entsprechenden Verriegelung, wird das Umlenkelement 10 nach oben bewegt, womit der Eingriff aus dem Verbindungsmittel 11 gelöst wird. Dadurch bewegt sich das Rückenpolster 13 nach oben in die Ausstieg- resp. Ruheposition, wie in Figur 6 dargestellt, und der Trainierende 2 kann in normaler Haltung das Trainingsgerät 1 ohne fremde Hilfe verlassen.By lowering the lever 9 down, after loosening the corresponding locking, the deflection element 10 is after moved above, whereby the engagement of the connecting means 11th is solved. As a result, the back pad 13 moves after at the top into the exit resp. Rest position, as shown in Figure 6, and the exerciser 2 can do that in normal posture Leave exerciser 1 unassisted.

    Die Mechanik des erfindungsgemässen Trainingsgerätes 1 wird nun anhand der Seitenansicht nach Figur 7 im vergrösserten Ausschnitt noch näher erläutert. Als Verbindungsmittel 11 wird hier beispielsweise ein Seil resp. Litze eingesetzt, welche an einem Ende mit einer am Geräterahmen 3 schwenkbar verbundenen Wippe 14 verbunden ist. Diese Wippe 14 ihrerseits ist mit einer Stange 15 verbunden, an welche die Gewichtsplatten 4 in einstellbarer Kombination in Angriff gebracht werden können. The mechanics of the inventive training device 1 is Now with reference to the side view of Figure 7 in enlarged Detail explained in more detail. As a connecting means 11 is Here, for example, a rope resp. Strand used, which at one end with a device frame 3 pivotally connected Rocker 14 is connected. This rocker 14 in turn is with a Rod 15 is connected to which the weight plates 4 in adjustable combination can be attacked.

    Die Litze 11 wird über vier Umlenkrollen 12 auf eine um eine Achse verschwenkbare Steuerscheibe 16 geführt und damit berestigt. Das Rückenpolster 13 ist in bekannter Art und Weise über einen Arm 17 mit der Steuerscheibe 16 verbunden. Durch diese Anordnung wird das Rückenpolster 13 durch die Gewichtsplatten 4 in einstellbarer Stärke nach vorne in seine untere Ruheposition bewegt. Diese Ruheposition des Rückenpolsters 13 ist gleichzeitig die Ausgangsposition des Trainierenden 2 für die Durchführung der Uebungen und muss daher an die Grösse und Gestalt des Trainierenden angepasst werden. Diese Anpassung erfolgt nun erfindungsgemäss durch das Vorsehen des Umlenkelementes 10, welches vorzugsweise eine Rolle 10' aufweist, welche von oben auf einen waagrechten Bereich 11' der Litze 11 einwirkt. Das Umlenkelement 10 ist an einem Ende des schwenkbar am Geräterahmen 3 angebrachten Hebels 9 über eine Stange 10'' befestigt. Der Hebel 9 weist beispielsweise eine über einen Druckknopf lösbare, federbehaftete Klinkensperre auf, welche auf eine Zahnscheibe 18 einwirkt, welche um die Schwenkachse des Hebels 9 angeordnet ist.The strand 11 is about four pulleys 12 to one around a Axis pivotable control disk 16 out and thus confirmed. The back pad 13 is in a known manner connected via an arm 17 with the control disk 16. By this arrangement is the back pad 13 through the weight plates 4 in adjustable thickness forward in its lower Rest position moves. This rest position of the back pad 13 is at the same time the starting position of the exerciser 2 for the execution of the exercises and must therefore to the size and Be adapted to the shape of the exerciser. This adaptation takes place according to the invention by the provision of the deflecting element 10, which preferably has a roller 10 ', which from above on a horizontal portion 11 'of the strand 11 acts. The deflecting element 10 is pivotable at one end of the Device frame 3 attached lever 9 via a rod 10 '' attached. For example, the lever 9 has one over one Snap button releasable, spring-loaded latch lock on which acting on a toothed pulley 18, which about the pivot axis of the lever 9 is arranged.

    In Figur 7 ist nun der Hebel 9 in vom Trainierenden 2 angehobenen Position dargestellt, wobei das Umlenkelement 10 die Litze 11 im Bereich 1" nach unten auslenkt. Das Rückenpolster 13 ist durch den Trainierenden 2 (hier nicht dargestellt) in seine obere, belastete Endposition verschwenkt worden, wobei die Wippe 14 ihrerseits nach oben gegen die Kraft der Gewichtsplatten 4 verschwenkt worden ist.In Figure 7, the lever 9 is now raised in the exerciser 2 Position shown, wherein the deflecting element 10, the strand 11 in the area 1 "downwards The back cushion 13 is by the trainee 2 (not shown here) in his upper, loaded end position has been pivoted, the Rocker 14 in turn up against the force of the weight plates 4 has been pivoted.

    In Figur 8 ist nun noch die Einstieg- resp. Ruheposition des Trainingsgerätes 1 dargestellt. Dabei ist der Hebel 9 vollständig abgesenkt, wodurch das Umlenkelement 10 nach oben verschoben ist und lediglich noch auf der Litze 11 aufliegt, diese aber nicht mehr nach unten auslenkt. Durch die Wirkung der Gewichtsplatten 4 ist die Wippe 14 nach unten in ihre untere Lage gedrückt worden, und das Rückenpolster 13 befindet sich in der Einstieg- resp. Ruheposition des Trainingsgerätes 1.In Figure 8 is still the entry resp. Rest position of the Training device 1 shown. In this case, the lever 9 is complete lowered, whereby the deflecting element 10 is moved upwards is and only rests on the strand 11, this but no longer deflects downwards. By the effect of Weight plates 4, the rocker 14 is down in its lower Position has been pressed, and the back pad 13 is located in the entry resp. Rest position of the training device 1.

    Anstelle des Seiles resp. Litze 11 kann beispielsweise auch eine Gliederkette als Verbindungsmittel zwischen Gewichtsplatten 4, resp. Wippe 14, und dem Rückenpolster 13 eingesetzt werden, welche ebenfalls über Umlenkrollen 12 geführt sein kann.Instead of the rope resp. Litz 11 can, for example, too a link chain as connecting means between weight plates 4, resp. Rocker 14, and the back pad 13 used be, which also be guided over pulleys 12 can.

    Durch die Dimensionierung der Hebelarme des Hebels 9 lassen sich die für die beschriebene Funktion aufzubringenden Kräfte im Verhältnis zur eingestellten Belastung durch die Gewichtsplatten 4 derart einstellen, dass sie keine Belastung des Rükkens während der Bedienung darstellen.By sizing the lever arms of the lever 9 leave the forces to be applied for the described function in relation to the set load by the weight plates 4 set so that they do not burden the Rükkens during operation.

    Die vorgestellte Konstruktion weist den grossen Vorteil auf, dass sie sehr einfach im Aufbau ist und damit kostengünstig in derartige Trainingsgeräte integriert werden kann. Ein ganz wesentlicher Vorteil liegt in der einfachen Bedienbarkeit durch den Trainierenden selbst, ohne notwendige Unterstützung resp. Hilfe einer weiteren Person. Ein derartiges Trainingsgerät kann deshalb auch ohne grossen oder gar schädlichen Kraftaufwand benützt werden und kann sich deshalb insbesondere auch für den Therapiebereich eignen. Ein weiterer Vorteil liegt darin, dass bestehende, herkömmliche Trainingsgeräte mit dem Hebelmechanismus auf einfache Weise nachgerüstet werden könnnen.The presented construction has the great advantage that it is very simple in construction and therefore inexpensive in Such training devices can be integrated. A very essential Advantage lies in the ease of use the trainees themselves, without necessary support resp. Help another person. Such a training device can therefore also without much or even harmful force and can therefore be used in particular suitable for the therapy area. Another advantage lies in that existing, conventional exercise equipment with the Lever mechanism can be retrofitted in a simple manner.

    Die Erfindung beschränkt sich nicht nur auf das in der vorliegenden Beschreibung erläuterten Trainingsgerät für Rumpfstrekkung, sondern kann in den baulich ähnlich aufgebauten Trainingsgeräten für Rumpfbeugung ebensogut und mit denselben vorteilhaften Wirkungen eingesetzt werden. Derartige Geräte setzen anstelle eines Rückenpolsters 13 ein Schulterpolster 19 ein, welches von vorne gegen den Schulterbereich des Trainierenden 2 in Anschlag gelangt, wie aus Figur 9 in der schematischen Seitenansicht hervorgeht. Auch dieses Schulterpolster 19 ist vorzugsweise für das Besteigen resp. Verlassen des Trainingsgerätes aus der eigentlichen Anfangsposition, bei welcher das Schulterpolster gegen die Schulter des Trainierenden anliegt, in eine Ruheposition verschwenkbar angeordnet. Da auch bei diesen Geräten das Schulterpolster 19 in analoger Weise zum Rückenpolster 13 über flexible Verbindungsmittel 11 mit Gewichtsplatten 4 verbunden ist, und in Belastungsrichtung in die Ruheposition verschwenkt werden soll, kann derselbe Mechanismus mit Hebel 9 und Umlenkelement 10 dafür eingesetzt werden.The invention is not limited to that in the present Description explained training device for fuselage extension, but can in the structurally similar training equipment for hull diffraction as well and with the same advantageous Effects are used. Set such devices instead of a back pad 13, a shoulder pad 19th one, which from the front against the shoulder area of the exerciser 2 comes into abutment, as shown in Figure 9 in the schematic Side view emerges.
