- the present invention relates to a gymnastic apparatus bearing the general reference (1) which is intended for bodybuilding and / or rehabilitation of various muscles in the human body. It includes, as shown in Figure 1, elastic return means (MRE) arranged between two gripping members (2, 3) and intended to be requested by the user (7) during weight training or rehabilitation exercises illustrated in Figures 2a to 4b, for example.
- MRE elastic return means
- the gymnastic apparatus (1) comprises on the one hand means for adjusting (MRL) the length (Ll) of elastic return means (MRE) which make it possible to adjust the length (Ll) which separates each of the gripping members (2, 3), and on the other hand adjustment means (MRF) of the return force (F) of the elastic return means (MRE).
- MRL the length of elastic return means
- MRF adjustment means
- certain types of elastic return means have a stiffness coefficient which varies according to their elongation, however the adjustment means make it possible to modify the stiffness for a given elongation.
- the means for adjusting the return force (MRF) and the means for adjusting the length (MRL) are linked and the variation in the length (L1) of the return means elastic (MRE) causes a variation of the restoring force (F) and vice versa.
- the length (L1) which separates the gripping members (2, 3) is a function of the restoring force (F) or stiffness of the elastic restoring means and cannot be adjusted independently of the force.
- the elastic return means consist of an elastic band (4) of a type known per se, which has a band width (La) which can be understood preferably between 2 and 10 cm, advantageously chosen to be approximately 4 cm.
- the elastic return means (MRE) could be constituted by equivalent means such as flexible rubber ties, elastics or springs or any other elastic element for example, without however departing from the protective field of the invention.
- the gymnastic apparatus (1) consists of a strip elastic (4) which fixedly carries at one of its ends (6a) a first gripping member (2) formed by a handle obtained in a manner known per se by sewing, stapling, welding the end of the strip on itself or by any other fixing method.
- the gripping members can be produced by equivalent devices such as for example plastic handles or the like.
- the force and length adjustment means (MRF, MRL) consist of the same adjustment member (5), such as a locking loop, to which the other end (6b) of the strip (4) is fixed. while said member is mounted on the strip so as to be able to slide and be blocked along the latter, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6.
- the tightening loop (5) makes it possible to separate the elastic return means (MRE) into a portion of strip (4a) arranged in duplicate and a portion of strip (4b) arranged in single; the respective length of the strip portions (4a, 4b) advantageously determines the length (L1) of the elastic return means and the return force (F) of these.
- the second gripping member (3) is arranged movable along the strip portion (4a) arranged in duplicate in order to allow the user to stress the gymnastic apparatus (1); the adjustment loop (5) is therefore intended to slide along the strip (4) to be locked there in a position suitable for the desired exercise.
- the adjustment member (5) can be obtained in many ways and have various configurations.
- FIG. 6 it has, for example, a pivoting locking lever (8) which makes it possible to wedge one or more strands of the strip (4) against a bearing surface (9) of the housing (15 ) of the loop (5).
- the adjustment means (MRF) of the restoring force (F) and the adjustment means (MRL) of the length (L1) of the elastic return means (MRE) make it possible to obtain an adjustment of the force independent of the adjustment of the length and vice versa.
- the means of elastic return consist of a strip (4) of the type described above and as in the first embodiment, a first gripping member (2) is disposed fixed at one end (6a) of the strip (4), while the second gripping member (3) is movable along the strip portion (4a) arranged in duplicate.
- the force adjustment means comprise an adjustment member (ORF) which makes it possible to arrange the elastic band (4) in duplicate over a length ( Ld) which represents all or part of the length (L1) which separates the gripping members (2, 3).
- the apparatus includes means for adjusting (MRL) the length (L1), said means comprising in particular a limitation member (OL) intended to reduce or increase the useful length (Lu) of the strip within the limit of the total length of the strip (L2).
- the force adjustment member (ORF) previously described has an influence on the length (L1)
- the limitation member (OL) also has an influence on the stiffness (F) of the elastic return means.
- the stiffness (F) or restoring force can be varied continuously.
- the length (L1) of the elastic return means can also be varied continuously.
- the means of adjusting the force and the length are not independent because the two organs (ORF, OL) the constituents each act on the restoring force and on the length, but they allow by their combined action of obtaining a stiffness adjustment independent of the length adjustment and vice versa.
- the length or the distance between the two gripping members (L1) corresponds to the useful length (Lu).
- the force adjustment member (ORF) and the limitation member (OL) consist of the same locking loop (5) .
- the locking loop (5) is intended to slide and to be locked over the useful length (Lu) of the strip (4), so as to allow adjustment of the length of the portion strip arranged in duplicate (4a) and arranged in single (4b), it is also intended to make it possible to limit the useful length (Lu) of the strip (4) by immobilizing an adjustable portion of strip (4c) which corresponds to the 'free end (6b) of the strip (4).
- the strip portion (4c) whose length is adjusted by the user is in no way used to form the elastic return means and is not used by the user during his exercises.
- the locking loop (5) allows the locking of the free strip portion (4c) and the doubled strip portion (4a) simultaneously thanks to a pivoting lever ( 8) articulated around an axis (10) and intended to wedge the strands of strap between its end (8a) and a support wall (9a) of a bowl (16) disposed in the housing (15) when it is in the locked position.
- the single strand (4b) thus leaves the housing (15) through the slot (17a) so as not to directly bias the lever (8).
- the two strands do not fully run through the bowl to not come out of the lower slots.
- the second gripping member (3) is movable on the doubled strip portion (4a) and is formed by an independent handle produced in an elastic band advantageously similar to the band (4).
- This independent handle (3) is slidably disposed on the strip (4a) using a loop (20) of the conventional type with two slots as illustrated in FIG. 1 or 7, however it could be otherwise.
- the adjustment and locking loop (5) has a different configuration, the free strand (4c) of the strip (4) being disposed above the strands (4a, 4b) which are intended to be settled.
- the limiting member (OL) which is intended to limit the useful length (Lu) may not be constituted by the same part as that which forms the adjusting member (ORF).
- the limiting member is formed by a secondary loop (11), said loop may be intended to secure the handle (2) which forms the first member gripping at one end of the strip (4) and this in an adjustable manner, while the adjusting member (ORF) intended to divide the useful length of the strip between a portion of single strip (4b) and a portion of double strip (4a) is constituted by a conventional type adjustment loop (12) on which the other end of the strip (4) is fixed.
- the secondary loop (11) is thus intended to be able to adjust and lock the position of the gripping member (2) along the strip strand arranged as a single (4b) to allow elimination of a portion of strip (4c) which becomes unused.
- the gymnastic apparatus (1) and its adjustment means advantageously make it possible to form a closed loop with the strand arranged in duplicate (4a), this allowing the user to carry out exercises by passing two members to the inside the loop thus formed and by urging it apart.
- the elastic band (4) can bear on its faces marks or marks not shown intended to allow the user to position or adjust the gymnastic apparatus in a reproducible manner and suitable for exercise.
