Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an exercise device for muscular training of a person.
  • the present invention also relates to an exercise handle and to the use of the exercise device and exercise handle.
  • US 4 629 185 discloses an apparatus including a frame provided with two gimbals, each of which having a forwardly extending rod that is provided with a handle for gripping by the person.
  • the gimbals enable simultaneous movement of the handles in more than one plane.
  • Multiple hydraulic cylinders are provided so as to control the resistance experienced by the person.
  • an exercise device for muscular training of a person, comprising:
  • the exercise can be performed substantially without gravitational force being applied by the device on the person.
  • the pivot comprises at least one ball-and-socket joint attached to said frame and to said at least one upright elongated element.
  • a joint of this type requires a minimum maintenance effort and is relatively inexpensive.
  • pivoting means may be made up of a gimbal assembly, as explained hereafter.
  • the resistance means comprise a first and second hydraulic cylinder, the proximal end of each cylinder being attached to said frame and the distal end of each cylinder being connected to the elongated element, and wherein the first cylinder extends substantially perpendicular to the second cylinder.
  • the device comprises a first upright elongated element with a handle to be gripped by the left hand of the person and a second upright elongated element with a handle to be gripped by the right hand of the person. In this way at least both arms can be trained simultaneously.
  • the elongate element then comprises:
  • the device comprises a spring arranged in the housing so as to exert an outward force on the plunger.
  • the plunger may be used in further exercises, especially abdominal exercises, wherein the user pushes the handle and hence the plunger in a downward direction against the action of the spring to exercise specific muscles and wherein the user displaces the handle in a controlled manner in an upward direction while offering resistance to the force exerted by the spring on the plunger.
  • the handle comprises:
  • This embodiment is in particular advantageous when the connecting means are shaped so as to connect the yoke also to one or more exchangeable weights.
  • the handle can be used on its own, i.e. detached from the exercise device, to perform different exercises, for example exercises that usually are performed using one or more dumb bells.
  • Dumb bells have the disadvantage that improper use thereof may cause serious injuries to the muscles in general and the tendons in particular. Due to the construction of the handle the chance of injuries is substantially reduced.
  • the device comprises resistance control means for controlling the resistance of the horizontal movement.
  • the control means are connected to the first and second hydraulic cylinder so as to independently adjust the resistance of the cylinders.
  • the resistance to displacement in one direction need not be identical to the resistance to displacement in another direction. For example, in some case a one-dimensional movement of the uprights is preferred. Then the resistance of one of the cylinders is set at a very high value, essentially locking the upright in a predetermined orientation, while the resistance of the other cylinder is set to be suitable for the purpose of the one-dimensional displacement of the upright.
  • first cylinder and second cylinder each have an input port and output port interconnected via an adjustable flow valve.
  • the resistance of the hydraulic cylinders may be varied by adjusting the throughput of the adjustable valve.
  • the frame of the device comprises a surface on which the person can take position.
  • the person will normally assume a standing position in order to exercise as many different muscles as possible.
  • a wide variety of different exercises including a number of exercises which to the present day were impossible to carry out, can be performed using the present device. For example, when training tennis players a complete displacement of the body during a backhand stroke may be simulated and trained accordingly.
  • the device comprises at least one sensor for providing displacement data representative of the actual displacement of the upright element and a storage for storing the displacement data.
  • a storage for storing the displacement data.
  • the device comprises at least one actuator arranged between the elongated element and the frame for forcing said at least one elongated element to move in said substantially horizontal plane.
  • the device is also provided with means for controlling the actuator so as to displace the upright element based on the pre-stored displacement data.
  • the at least one actuator and said resistance means are combined.
  • hydraulic cylinders are employed, that may be used in a passive mode to provide the right amount of resistance against displacements of the upright caused by the person or may be used in an active mode, in combination with one or more hydraulic pumps, to bring about a displacement of the upright.
  • a further advantage of exercising in a standing position is that a relatively short exercise time is needed to achieve the wanted effect or result.
  • an exercising handle for gripping by a person comprising:
  • Figure 1 shows the exercise device 1 in a partly cut-away perspective view.
  • Device 1 comprises a frame in which two uprights are freely movable.
  • the frame is constructed from a number of legs 2 on which rests a horizontal plate 3. This latter functions as mounting for the uprights and as surface on which the person stands during training.
  • openings Arranged at two positions in the flat plate 3 are openings, on the edge of which are provided upright flanges 4.
  • the mutual distance between the two openings corresponds roughly to the width of the shoulders of the person using the exercise device (about 50 centimetres).
  • a ball-and-socket joint 5 built up of a housing 6 arranged against the plate and the upright flange 4 and a spherical element 7 mounted in the housing.
  • the ball-and-socket joints are replaced by gimbals.
  • An upright 8 is arranged on the top side of ball-and-socket joint 5 (or the gimbal).
  • the upright has two degrees of freedom, i.e. the upright can be displaced in both the X-direction and the Y-direction.
  • the top side of the upright 8 passes through an almost horizontal plane during such a displacement.
  • a handle 9 is provided at the top of the upright.
  • the handle comprises a support 10 which in known manner is arranged rotatably on a displaceable element 11 (arrow P 1 ).
  • a yoke 13 is further arranged on the support. As is shown in more detail in figure 3, yoke 13 is connected rotatably to an outer ring 14 using rotation shafts 34. Outer ring 14 can therefore be displaced rotatably in the direction of arrow P 2 .
  • An inner ring 15 is also provided, wherein between outer ring 14 and inner ring 15 a large number of ball bearings 35 are arranged. Owing to this construction the inner ring 15 can be rotated relative to outer ring 14 (arrow P 3 ).
  • a bar 16 is arranged transversely of inner ring 15 and optionally provided with a covering (not shown) to make the bar sufficiently rough.
  • the bar 16 can be moved in practically all directions, whereby the danger of injuries to the hands and arms of the user of the exercise device is minimal.
  • a support 17 is arranged against the underside of each ball-and-socket joint 5. Using pivots 27 this support 17 is connected to respectively a first hydraulic cylinder 21 and second hydraulic cylinder 22.
  • Each hydraulic cylinder comprises a housing 25 in which a plunger 26 can be moved in and out. Housing 25,30 is fastened to plate 3 of the frame by means of pivots 24,29 and fastening pins 23,28.
  • the resistance applied by the cylinders can be adjusted as required by operation of schematically shown control means 20. Cylinders with adjustable resistance are known as such and will not be discussed here in detail. The resistance of these cylinders can be adjusted individually by actuating the respective control means 20 provided on each of the cylinders.
  • the cylinders are included in a control system connecting all cylinders to each other so as to enable the resistances of the various cylinders to be controlled in their mutual relationship.
  • the cylinders are filled with liquid or gas.
  • the cylinders are mutually connected via a network of liquid or gas conduits and one or more adjustable flow valves, so that the liquid is displaced from one end of a cylinder to the other end when plunger 26 is pressed in or out.
  • the degree of resistance of each of the hydraulic cylinders can be individually adjusted by controlling the relevant flow valve(s).
  • exercise device 1 The operation of exercise device 1 is as follows. The person will stand with both legs on the flat plate 3 and grip both handles 9. In this starting position no force at all, such as for instance gravitational force, will be exerted by the device on the muscles of the person. After setting the appropriate resistances of cylinders 21,22 of the left-hand upright and setting the resistances of cylinders 21,22 of the right-hand upright, the person can start training. The person then exerts a force on one or both handles, with the result that the handles are displaced in a substantially horizontal plane (in fact a spherical plane with the radius corresponding to the distance between ball-and-socket joints 5 and handle 9, wherein the radius is however very large in proportion to the maximum deflection of the uprights). Owing to the many rotation options of the handle the arms generally of a person, and the wrists in particular, will be spared as much as possible in this movement, which reduces the danger of injury.
  • control means 20 of the cylinders are driven by a central control, for example a computer or micro-controller.
  • cylinders with electric actuators or to give the cylinders an active form such that they can be displaced mechanically. In this case it is the task of the person to exert counterforce and to prevent displacement of the handles.
  • the central control comprises storage means (hard disk, recordable DVD or CD, or similar storage facilities) so as to store the displacements of each of the plungers of the cylinders when a certain movement of the handle is carried out.
  • storage means hard disk, recordable DVD or CD, or similar storage facilities
  • the cylinders may be actuated so as to force another user of the device to follow the displacements recorded on the recording means. In this way the other user might train his back stroke technique.
  • pre-stored displacements may also be derived from another exercise device and that the storage means of a specific exercise device may contain data representative of numerous pre-stored motions, such as different types of backhand or forehand strokes of different tennis players.
  • FIG. 2 shows a preferred embodiment of an upright adjustable in the length.
  • the upright herein comprises a housing 29 in which a rod 11 can slide in and out (arrow P 4 ).
  • the rod is provided at a number of positions with a groove 32.
  • a screw element 12 At the top of upright 8 is provided a screw element 12, on the inner side of which there are provided a number of ball bearings 33.
  • screw element 12 When screw element 12 is unscrewed, a clearance is created between the ball bearings and rod 11 such that rod 11 is freely slidable in the height.
  • screw element 12 is tightened however, the clearance is reduced and at a certain point the ball bearings 33 will become fixed in grooves 32. In this manner the rod can be fixed at a number of positions (in the shown embodiment four) to make the exercise device suitable for people of differing height.
  • a helical spring 30 is also provided which ensures that when screw element 12 is unscrewed the rod 11 is automatically displaced in upward direction.
  • Figure 4 shows that in a special embodiment the above mentioned handle 9 can also be applied separately of exercise device 1.
  • An opening is herein provided on the underside of support 10, in which opening can be screwed a protrusion 37 of an element of a predetermined weight.
  • the weight of handle 9 can hereby be increased as desired.
  • a heavy or less heavy element 36 is applied.
  • handle 9 can be arranged on the uprights 8 of the exercise device as well as being used as separate training element as just described. It is however also possible to embody handle 9 such that it can only be used as handle for the interchangeable weights (elements 36).
  • the device is provided with electrical or optical sensors that determine the degree of motion of the handle.
  • the processing unit is able to perform (preferably in real time) a determination of the exact position in three-dimensional space of the handle based on the data received from the sensors. Therefore, in this embodiment the handle may be used to control the motion of a further device that is controlled by the central control, such as a robot or similar device.
