Definitions

  • the invention is directed to a training device, in particular in the form of a so-called elliptical trainer, comprising in each case a base plate for the left and right foot of the exercising person, which is arranged on a respective foot bar, wherein the front end of the foot bars via a respective pivot bearing pivotally with each a rod is connected, which in turn is pivotally mounted above the pivot bearing on a support column via a respective further pivot bearing, wherein above this further pivot bearing handles are formed, wherein the rear end of the foot bars via a respective third pivot bearing is pivotally connected to one lever arm, wherein the two such attack by 180 ° staggered lever arms on an axis of rotation, which is connected to a drive shaft of a braked via an eddy current brake flywheel.
  • Such elliptical trainer is for example from the US 6,063,008 known.
  • Such training devices are particularly suitable for imitating a running motion from the movement sequence and, similar to the Ergometerstand bicycle, to make the training performance adjustable by changing the pedaling resistance.
  • the invention has the object, a training device of the type mentioned in such a way that a safe training on the training device is possible. Furthermore, it should be achieved that the training device has a particularly long life.
  • the freewheel allows a transmission of torque from the drive shaft to the flywheel in a direction of rotation of the drive shaft.
  • the freewheel comprises a brake mechanism. Due to the elliptical movement sequence, the flywheel is driven to a different extent by the person exercising at a complete rotation of the axis of rotation, resulting in a "leading edge" of the flywheel. As a result, the training is impaired, since the feeling occurs, to be temporarily unresisting.
  • a clutch disc is provided, wherein the clutch disc on the flywheel side facing a brake pad, preferably made of felt, has.
  • the receiving disc comprises recesses for receiving spring elements, which are preferably designed as compression springs.
  • the spring elements press the clutch disc with the brake pad against the flywheel, whereby a braking force is applied to the flywheel.
  • the braking force or frictional force between the brake pad and the flywheel is adjusted via the spring elements such that the flywheel does not precede the non-uniform drive resulting from the elliptical movement. In addition, it is ensured that the friction between the brake pad and the flywheel does not lead to an abrupt stopping of driven by the drive shaft stand plates.
  • the braking mechanism is designed as a slip clutch.
  • the clutch disc has a projection engaging in the receiving disc for preventing relative movement.
  • a training device shown in the drawing a so-called elliptical trainer, comprises a main body 1, which is formed substantially as a housing, and which stands on two runners 2, 3 arranged transversely to the longitudinal direction.
  • a support column 4 With a transversely to its longitudinal extent arranged, substantially horizontally extending bearing axis 5, on which pivot bearing forming lugs 6, 7 are pivotally mounted.
  • the lugs 6, 7 are penetrated by rods 8, 9, at the top handles 10, 11 are formed.
  • the lower end of the rods 8, 9 opens into pivot bearings 12, 13, which are pivotally connected to the foot bars 14, 15, on which stand plates 16 are arranged, which have a peripheral edge 17 to a person standing on the base plate 16 foot of a person exercising to lead or prevent accidental lateral slipping on.
  • the rear end of the foot bars 14 in turn opens into a pivot bearing 18 which is formed on a lever arm 19 which is rotatable about an axis of rotation 20, so that a flywheel 21 located in the interior of the main body 1 is driven, known in the stationary bicycles
  • a controllable or controllable eddy current brake acts to be able to specify a certain desired training performance.
  • the rotation axis 20 extends horizontally and has a belt guide 22.
  • the flywheel 21 is disposed on a drive shaft 23 which also comprises a belt guide 24 at a shaft end.
  • the two belt guides 22, 24 are non-rotatably connected to the axis of rotation 20 and to the drive shaft 23.
  • a drive belt 25 is guided, which together form a belt drive 26.
  • a bearing portion 27 is provided for supporting the drive shaft 23, which consists of two ball bearings 28.
  • the ball bearings 28 are fixed by a press fit, wherein the flywheel-side ball bearing 28 rests against a shaft extension 30.
  • the flywheel 21 is also located on the side facing away from the bearing portion 27 on the shaft extension 30 via a locking ring 31, whereby an axial displacement of the flywheel 21 is prevented.
  • the freewheel 32 is a commercially available freewheel which has roller-like clamping bodies 33 for transmitting torque in a cage 34.
  • the outer surface of the cage 34 is rotatably connected to the flywheel 21.
  • the freewheel 32 is axially fixed in its position on the drive shaft 23 by a press fit.
  • On the flywheel 21 is located on the side facing away from the belt transmission 26 a clutch plate 35, wherein the clutch disc 35 on the flywheel 21 side facing a formed of felt brake pad 36 has.
  • the brake pad 36 is glued to the clutch disc 35.
  • a receiving plate 37 is screwed with four recesses 38 for receiving in each case a helical spring 39 by means of a central fastening screw 40.
  • the recesses 38 are open on the clutch disc 35 facing side.
  • the clutch disc 35 comprises a projection 41 which engages in a corresponding recess 42 of the receiving disk 37.
  • the exercising person rises with one foot on each of the base plates 16 and recorded with their hands, the handles 10, 11, with the hands, the handles 10, 11 on the one hand in the direction of the double arrows 43 and be moved, and on the other hand on the feet and the pedestals 16 a run-like alternating pedaling or load is performed left and right, so that the offset by 180 ° to each other lever arms 19 rotate about the axis of rotation 20 and in this way on the drive belt 25 the Drive drive shaft 23.
  • the transmission of the torque from the drive shaft 23 to the flywheel 21 is effected by the clamping body 33 of the freewheel 32, which are arranged between the driving drive shaft 23 and the driven flywheel 21. Rotates the drive shaft 23 faster than the flywheel 21, the clamping body 33 are clamped between the drive shaft 23 and the cage 34, which causes entrainment of the flywheel 21. On the other hand, if the flywheel 21 rotates faster than the drive shaft 23, the transmission of power is interrupted.
  • the coil springs 39 press the clutch disc 35 with the brake pad 36 against the flywheel 21, whereby the flywheel 21 is braked.
  • the projection 41 of the clutch disc 35 prevents a relative movement to the receiving disc 37th
  • the bias of the coil springs 39 is selected so that the flywheel 21 no longer tends to lead in uneven drive, and at the same time a risk of injury is not given by the stopped at the stopping of the drive shaft 23 base plates 16.
