Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Fitnessgerät in Form eines Bekleidungsstückes zur Figurformung eines menschlichen Körpers mit einer Hülle, die den Körper zumindest abschnittsweise luftdicht umgibt und die zusammen mit zumindest einem Abschnitt der Körperoberfläche zumindest eine Unterdruckkammer ausbildet, die mit einem gegenüber der Außenumgebung des Fitnessgeräts niedrigeren Luftdruck beaufschlagt ist, wobei das Fitnessgerät zumindest einen Abstandshalter aufweist, durch den die Hülle des Fitnessgeräts zumindest im Bereich der Unterdruckkammer von der Körperoberfläche beabstandet gehalten ist.The invention relates to a fitness device in the form of an item of clothing for shaping figures of a human body with an envelope covering the body at least in sections hermetically surrounds and together with at least a portion of the Body surface forms at least one vacuum chamber, with one opposite the outside environment of the fitness device is subjected to lower air pressure, wherein the fitness device has at least one spacer through which the sleeve of the Fitness equipment at least in the area of the vacuum chamber from the body surface is kept spaced.
Ein derartiges Fitnessgerät kann beispielsweise ein luftdicht den Körper umschließender Schwitzanzug sein. Die Fitnesswirkung des Schwitzanzuges beruht darauf, dass die vom Körper abgegebene Wärme und Feuchtigkeit nicht durch die luftdichte Hülle an die Außenumgebung abgegeben werden kann. Dadurch steigen im Inneren des Anzugs Temperatur und Luftfeuchtigkeit und führen zu einem "Saunaeffekt" im Anzug. Durch den Saunaeffekt erhöht sich der Stoffwechselumsatz des Körpers und die Fettverbrennung wird beschleunigt.Such a fitness device can be, for example, an airtight one that encloses the body Be sweating suit. The fitness effect of the sweat suit is based on the fact that the heat and moisture emitted by the body are not passed through the airtight envelope Outside environment can be delivered. This will increase inside the suit Temperature and humidity and lead to a "sauna effect" in the suit. By The sauna effect increases the metabolic rate of the body and the burning of fat is accelerated.
Herkömmlicherweise sind Schwitzanzüge so konzipiert, dass sie eine große Bewegungsfreiheit erlauben, so dass der Träger in ihnen beispielsweise Joggen oder Fahrradfahren kann. Die Kombination aus Bewegungstraining- und Schwitzanzug führt zu einer besonders hohen Kreislaufbeanspruchung und einem besonders hohen Stoffwechselumsatz. Damit wird der Trainingseffekt gegenüber dem Bewegungstraining ohne Schwitzanzug erhöht.Traditionally, sweat suits are designed to have great freedom of movement allow so that the wearer in them for example jogging or cycling can. The combination of movement training and sweating suit leads to a particularly high circulatory load and a particularly high metabolic rate. This makes the training effect compared to movement training without Sweat suit increased.
Nachteilig bei dem herkömmlichen Schwitzanzug ist jedoch, dass er im Wesentlichen nur die Kreislaufbelastung erhöht, aber keinen gezielten Fettabbau an den "Problemzonen", beispielsweise Bauch, Hüfte, Gesäß oder Oberschenkel, ermöglicht. Zudem ist die Wirkung des Schwitzanzuges sehr begrenzt. Um die Figur nachhaltig zu formen, muss der Schwitzanzug regelmäßig über einen langen Zeitraum verwendet werden.A disadvantage of the conventional sweat suit, however, is that it essentially only increases the circulatory load, but no targeted fat loss in the "problem areas", for example the abdomen, hips, buttocks or thighs. In addition, the Effect of the sweat suit very limited. To shape the figure sustainably, you have to the sweat suit can be used regularly over a long period of time.
Im nächstliegenden Stand der Technik, der US 4,230,114 ist eine Trainingshose gezeigt, aus der Luft abgesaugt wird. Die Trainingshose ist aus einem nicht porösen und nicht absorbierenden Material gefertigt. Im Bereich eines Absaugschlauches sind flanschförmige Abstandshalter aus einem festen Material vorgesehen, die ein Festsaugen der Fitnesshose in diesem Bereich verhindern und dadurch eine gleichmäßige Verteilung des Unterdrucks in der Hose bewirken sollen.In the closest prior art, US 4,230,114, training pants are shown is sucked out of the air. The training pants are made of a non-porous and not made of absorbent material. In the area of a suction hose are flange-shaped Spacers made of a solid material are provided, which suck the fitness pants prevent in this area and thereby an even distribution of Should cause negative pressure in the pants.
Aus der US 1,440,157 ist ein Fitnessgerät in Form eines Gewichtshebergürtels bekannt, bei dem eine Kalotte aus elastischem Material im Bauchbereich einen Unterdruck erzeugt.A fitness device in the form of a weight lifting belt is known from US 1,440,157, in which a spherical cap made of elastic material creates a negative pressure in the abdominal area.
In der US 7,26,791 ist ein Fitnessanzug gezeigt, dessen Inneres mit einem Unterdruck beaufschlagt wird. Im Inneren des Anzugs ist zwischen der luftundurchlässigen Hülle und dem Körper ein Innengerüst aus einzelnen Elementen vorgesehen.A fitness suit is shown in US Pat. No. 7,26,791, the inside of which is under negative pressure is applied. Inside the suit is between the airtight shell and the body is provided with an inner frame made of individual elements.
Angesichts dieser Nachteile hat die vorliegende Erfindung zum Ziel, ein Fitnessgerät der eingangs genannten Art so zu verbessern, dass die Fettverbrennung schneller stattfindet, und dass gezielt Problemzonen behandelt werden können. In view of these disadvantages, the present invention aims to provide a fitness device to improve the type mentioned at the beginning in such a way that the fat is burned faster, and that targeted problem areas can be treated.
Dieses Problem wird für ein Fitnessgerät der eingangs genannten Art dadurch gelöst, dass der Abstandshalter zumindest eine Überdruckkammer ausbildet, die mit einem gegenüber der Außenumgebung des Fitnessgeräts höherem Druck beaufschlagt ist.For a fitness device of the type mentioned at the beginning, this problem is solved by that the spacer forms at least one pressure chamber, which is opposite one pressure is applied to the outside environment of the fitness device.
Durch den auf die Körperoberfläche im Bereich der Unterdruckkammer wirkenden Unterdruck kommt es zu einer Steigerung der Durchblutung. Diese Durchblutungssteigerung führt zu einer erhöhten Fettverbrennung in diesem Bereich. Wird mit dem Trainingsgerät zusätzlich trainiert, beispielsweise gejoggt oder radgefahren, so überlagern sich der Saunaeffekt und der Unterdruckeffekt im Bereich der Unterdruckkammer. Diese Kombination aus Bewegungstraining und Unterdruck führt zu einem besonders gezielten Fettabbau an der Stelle der Unterdruckkammer.Due to the negative pressure acting on the body surface in the area of the vacuum chamber there is an increase in blood circulation. This increase in blood flow leads to increased fat burning in this area. Will be with the training device additionally trained, for example jogging or cycling, so overlay the sauna effect and the vacuum effect in the area of the vacuum chamber. This Combination of movement training and negative pressure leads to a particularly targeted Fat loss at the location of the vacuum chamber.
Durch den Unterdruck wird die Durchblutung stärker angeregt als dies bei den herkömmlichen Schwitzanzügen der Fall ist. Die Wirksamkeit des erfindungsgemäßen Trainingsgeräts zur Figurformung und Fettverbrennung liegt daher wesentlich höher als bei den herkömmlichen Schwitzanzügen.Due to the negative pressure, the blood circulation is stimulated more than that of the conventional sweat suits is the case. The effectiveness of the invention Training equipment for figure shaping and fat burning is therefore much higher than with conventional sweat suits.
Im Bereich der Unterdruckkammer besteht Gefahr, dass die Hülle aufgrund des Unterdrucks an der Körperoberfläche anliegt. Dies würde zu einem verminderten Tragekomfort oder zu einer Verminderung der Wirkung des Unterdrucks führen. Um dies zu vermeiden, weist das Fitnessgerät zumindest einen Abstandshalter auf, durch den die Hülle des Fitnessgeräts zumindest im Bereich der Unterdruckkammer von der Körperoberfläche beabstandet gehalten ist. In the area of the vacuum chamber, there is a risk that the casing will be due to the vacuum rests on the body surface. This would result in reduced comfort or lead to a reduction in the effect of the negative pressure. To avoid this the fitness device has at least one spacer through which the sheath of the fitness device at least in the area of the vacuum chamber from the body surface is kept spaced.
Der Abstandshalter bildet dabei zumindest eine Überdruckkammer aus, die mit einem gegenüber der Außenumgebung des Fitnessgeräts höherem Druck beaufschlagt ist. Die Überdruckkammer ermöglicht einen hohen Tragekomfort, da sich bei dieser Ausgestaltung der Abstandshalter an die Körperkontur anpassen kann.The spacer forms at least one pressure chamber, which is connected to a pressure is applied to the outside environment of the fitness device. The Hyperbaric chamber allows a high level of comfort, since this configuration the spacer can adapt to the body contour.
In einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung kann der mit Unterdruck beaufschlagte Abschnitt Bauch und/oder Gesäß und/oder Hüften und/oder Oberschenkel umfassen. Diese Körperbereiche bilden die üblichen Problemzonen, an denen genetisch bedingt oder mangels Bewegung sich besonders leicht Fett absetzen kann.In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the one subjected to negative pressure can Include the abdomen and / or buttocks and / or hips and / or thighs. These body areas form the usual problem areas where genetically determined or, due to lack of exercise, fat can settle particularly easily.
Um eine getrennte Versorgung von Überdruckkammer und Unterdruckkammer und damit einen erhöhten konstruktiven Aufwand bei einer Druckversorgung zu vermeiden, kann die Überdruckkammer von einer zumindest abschnittsweise luftdurchlässigen Abstandshalterhülle umgeben sein, durch die unter Druckverlust Luft aus der Überdruckkammer in die Unterdruckkammer und/oder die Außenumgebung abgebbar ist. Zusätzlich oder alternativ dazu kann die Überdruckkammer mit einem Drosselventil ausgebildet sein, durch das unter Druckverlust Luft aus der Überdruckkammer in die Unterdruckkammer und/oder die Außenumgebung abgebbar ist. Bei diesen beiden Ausgestaltungen ist es möglich, die Luft zunächst unter Druck der Überdruckkammer zuzuführen, von der sie unter einem Druckverlust in die Unterdruckkammer geleitet wird. Aus der Unterdruckkammer wird die Luft dann abgesaugt. Der Druckverlust durch die luftdurchlässige Abstandshalterhülle und/oder das Drosselventil ist nötig, um die Druckdifferenz zwischen der Überdruckkammer und der Unterdruckkammer aufrechtzuerhalten. Der Vorteil dieser Ausgestaltung liegt darin, dass auf eine speziell ausgebildete Ableitung der Luft aus der Überdruckkammer und auf eine speziell ausgebildete Zuleitung von Luft in die Überdruckkammer verzichtet werden kann, da die Abluft aus der Überdruckkammer die Unterdruckkammer versorgt.To separate supply of the pressure chamber and vacuum chamber and thus to avoid an increased design effort for a pressure supply, can the pressure chamber from an air-permeable spacer sleeve at least in sections be surrounded by the air from the pressure chamber under pressure loss can be dispensed into the vacuum chamber and / or the outside environment. additionally or alternatively, the pressure chamber can be designed with a throttle valve be, through which pressure loss air from the pressure chamber into the vacuum chamber and / or the external environment can be dispensed. With these two configurations it is possible to first supply the air under pressure to the overpressure chamber which is led into the vacuum chamber with a pressure drop. From the vacuum chamber the air is then extracted. The pressure loss due to the air permeable Spacer sleeve and / or the throttle valve is necessary to adjust the pressure difference between the pressure chamber and the vacuum chamber. The advantage This configuration is based on a specially designed air discharge from the overpressure chamber and onto a specially trained supply line of air into the Pressure chamber can be dispensed with, since the exhaust air from the pressure chamber Vacuum chamber supplied.
Der Abstandshalter kann in einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung auch zumindest abschnittsweise aus einem festen Material gefertigt sein. Unter einem festen Material ist dabei in diesem Zusammenhang ein Material zu verstehen, dass in der Lage ist, im Wesentlichen allein aufgrund seiner Eigenfestigkeit die Hülle von der Körperoberfläche wegzuhalten. Um entsprechende Bewegungsfreiheit zu gewährleisten, wenn das Fitnessgerät zur Ausübung von körperlichen Aktivitäten verwendet wird, kann das feste Material auch elastische Eigenschaften aufweisen. Die Elastizität kann aus einer entsprechenden Formgebung oder Materialwahl stammen. In a further advantageous embodiment, the spacer can also at least be made in sections from a solid material. Is under a solid material in this context to understand a material that is capable of essentially just because of its inherent strength, the shell from the body surface wegzuhalten. To ensure adequate freedom of movement when the fitness equipment used for exercising physical activities, the firm can Material also have elastic properties. The elasticity can be from a corresponding Shape or choice of materials.
Zweckmäßigerweise kann in einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Abstandshalter zwischen der Hülle der Unterdruckkammer und der Körperoberfläche angeordnet sein. Alternativ kann der Abstandshalter auch in die Hülle eingenäht sein und eine Art Gerüst ausbilden. Andere Ausgestaltungen des Abstandshalters als Gürtel oder als selbsttragender Käfig sind ebenfalls möglich.In a further advantageous embodiment, the spacer can expediently be used arranged between the shell of the vacuum chamber and the body surface his.

Im folgenden wird die Funktion des erfindungsgemäßen Fitnessgeräts erläutert.The function of the fitness device according to the invention is explained below.
Das Prinzip des Fitnessgeräts zur Figurformung beruht darauf, die lokale Durchblutung durch Aufbringen von Unterdruck zu erhöhen. Aufgrund der erhöhten Durchblutung kommt es zu einem erhöhten Stoffwechsel und damit zu einer lokal vermehrten Fettverbrennung. Die vermehrte Fettverbrennung führt zu einem gezielten Fettabbau an den mit Unterdruck behandelten Stellen.The principle of the fitness device for figure shaping is based on the local blood circulation by applying negative pressure. Because of the increased blood flow there is an increased metabolism and thus a locally increased fat burning. The increased fat burning leads to a targeted fat loss to the areas treated with negative pressure.
