Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Wellnessgerät aus elastischem Material, im Wesentlichen bestehend aus einem stabbeziehungsweise stangenförmigen Gebilde.The invention relates to a wellness device made of elastic material, consisting essentially of a stabbeziehungsweise rod-shaped structure.
Kinetische Therapiegeräte aus elastischem Material, im Wesentlichen bestehend aus einem stabförmigen Gebilde, sind bekannt. Derartige Geräte sind, wie schon die Bezeichnung ausdrückt, zur therapeutischen Behandlung von Verspannungen und zur Auflockerung von verspannten Muskelpartien vorgesehen.Kinetic therapy devices made of elastic material, essentially consisting of a rod-shaped structure, are known. Such devices are, as the name implies, intended for the therapeutic treatment of tension and loosening tense muscles.
Die bekannten Therapiegeräte werden dazu benutzt, neuromuskuläre Schäden beziehungsweise Beeinträchtigungen zu behandeln. Es handelt sich dabei um die Behandlung des gestörten Zusammenspiels von Nerven und Muskeln. Dies können sowohl Blockaden als auch partielle oder totale Unterbrechungen der normalen Erregungsübertragung an der motorischen Endplatte sein.The known therapy devices are used to treat neuromuscular damage or impairment. It is the treatment of the disturbed interaction of nerves and muscles. These may be both blockages and partial or total disruptions of the normal excitation transmission at the motor endplate.
Dabei müssen mit diesen bekannten Therapiegeräten die Bewegungsabläufe unter Anleitung eines Therapeuten zunächst erlernt werden, bevor der Patient mit eigenen Übungen beginnen kann.In this case, with these known therapy devices, the movements must be learned under the guidance of a therapist first, before the patient can start his own exercises.
Ein als Therapiegerät bezeichnetes Gerät ist beispielsweise aus der
Sowohl durch die Ausführung in Federstahl als auch durch die Art der Ausführung der Gewichte und der zusätzlichen Anordnung der Dämpfungselemente besitzen diese bekannten Therapiegeräte ein hohes Eigengewicht, welches dazu führt, dass Übungen lediglich über eine zeitlich begrenzte Dauer durchführbar sind. Die Handhabung des Gerätes über einen längeren Zeitraum wird durch das hohe Eigengewicht erheblich beeinträchtigt. Ob mit diesem Gerät insbesondere eine Einflussnahme auf das neuronale Zusammenspiel der Nerven und Muskeln gelingt, erscheint aufgrund des Gewichtes fraglich. Eher riskiert der Übende bei dem hohen Gewicht ein Verkrampfen der Muskulatur und andere Verletzungen, weswegen sich dieses Gerät nicht im nichttherapeutischen Gebiet eignet. Die in Schwingung gesetzten Gewichte können darüber hinaus auch eine Verletzungsgefahr darstellen. Die Herstellung derartiger Therapiegeräte ist aufgrund der hohen Genauigkeitsanforderungen, des hochwertigen Materials sowie der insgesamt an therapeutische Geräte gestellten hohen Qualitätsanforderungen sehr kostenaufwendig.Both by the design in spring steel and by the type of execution of the weights and the additional arrangement of the damping elements, these known therapy devices have a high weight, which means that exercises are feasible only for a limited period of time. The handling of the device over a longer period is significantly affected by the high weight. Whether this device in particular an influence on the neural interaction of the nerves and muscles succeed seems questionable due to the weight. Rather, the high risk of the practitioner risking cramping of the muscles and other injuries, which is why this device is not suitable in the non-therapeutic area. In addition, the vibrating weights can pose a risk of injury. The preparation of such therapy devices is very expensive due to the high accuracy requirements, the high quality material and the total of therapeutic devices set high quality requirements.
Aus der
Bringt man diese Stange zum Schwingen, ergeben sich derart grosse Schwingungen, dass eine neuromuskuläre Behandlung durch diese Art der Ausführung nicht möglich ist. Die grossen Schwingungen ergeben sich aus der grossen Elastizität aufgrund der gleichzeitigen Verwendung als Expander. Diese Aerobicstange ermöglicht daher lediglich Übungen zur körperlichen Ertüchtigung ohne Beeinflussung des neuromuskulären Systems. Dabei ist das Verletzungsrisiko der endseitig vorgesehenen Gewichte enorm.Bringing this rod to vibrate, such large vibrations arise that a neuromuscular treatment by this type of execution is not possible. The large vibrations result from the great elasticity due to the simultaneous use as an expander. This aerobics bar therefore only allows exercise for physical exercise without affecting the neuromuscular system. The risk of injury to the weights provided at the end is enormous.

The protective device consists for example of an elastic and / or plastic plastic material (for example polyurethane or polystyrene). These may be, for example, protective caps, which are designed such that injuries during transport and during the execution of exercises are avoided. In particular, these protective caps should have rounded edges. A protuberance projecting beyond the structure also facilitates the gripping of a wellness device according to the invention lying on the floor.

Durch die Schutzvorrichtung bzw. den Schutzkappen ist der Übende optimal vor den vor seinem Körper pendelnden Gewichten geschützt.The inventive execution of the wellness device allows that such a device can be used by anyone without the guidance of a therapist. To perform an exercise or exercise, the device is grasped with one or both hands and held in front of the body. Through the movement of the body or slight movements of the hands or arms or the upper body, the device is selectively set in vibration. These vibrations have to be balanced by the muscles. Through the protective device and the caps of the practitioner is optimally protected from the pendulum in front of his body weights.
Es ist sowohl ein niederintensives als auch ein hochintensives Kraft-Ausdauer-Training im Bereich des Muskel-Skelettsystems möglich. Insbesondere lässt sich eine Kräftigung der Rumpfmuskulatur erreichen. Die Schwingungen des einmal in Schwingung versetzten Gerätes werden auf die Muskulatur übertragen und müssen ausbalanciert werden. Somit wird gleichzeitig ein Koordinationstraining der beanspruchten Muskelpartien erreicht.It is both a low-intensity and a high-intensity strength-endurance training in the musculoskeletal system possible. In particular, can be Achieve a strengthening of the trunk muscles. The vibrations of the once vibrated device are transmitted to the muscles and must be balanced. Thus, at the same time a coordination training of the claimed muscle parts is achieved.
Muskuläre Disbalancen/Verspannungen können ausgeglichen werden. Die Summe der aus den Oszillationen resultierenden Belastungsreizen führt zu Anpassungsreaktionen des neuromuskulären Systems. Somit ist auch ein rehabilitatives Training mit dem erfindungsgemässen Wellnessgerät möglich. Einfache Übungen bis hin zu koordinativ komplexen Übungen sind mit dem Wellnessgerät durchführbar. Dabei kann sowohl eine isometrische als auch dynamische Arbeitsweise in dreidimensionalen Bewegungen durchgeführt werden.Muscular imbalances / tension can be compensated.

Vorzugsweise ist es vorgesehen, dass die Schutzvorrichtung in drei Gewichtsklassen, leicht, mittel, schwer, ausgeführt wird.Preferably, it is provided that the protective device in three weight classes, light, medium, heavy, running.
Eine Weiterbildung der erfindungsgemässen Lösung sieht vor, dass eine Vielzahl von Gewichten zusätzlich zu den Schutzvorrichtungen auf das stabförmige Gebilde aufziehbar und fixierbar sind. Je nach Art der durchzuführenden Übungen lässt sich damit wiederum eine Veränderung des Schwingungsverhaltens und damit wiederum eine Veränderung der Belastungen der Muskelpartien beziehungsweise der zu beeinflussenden Bewegungskoordinationen erreichen. Diese zusätzlichen Gewichte wirken insbesondere auch als Dämpfungsgewichte. Es ist weiterhin bevorzugt, wenn die Schutzvorrichtungen und die Dämpfungsgewichte aus elastischem, vorzugsweise gummiartigem Material gebildet sind.A further development of the solution according to the invention provides that a large number of weights can be pulled up and fixed in addition to the protective devices on the rod-shaped structure. Depending on the type of exercises to be carried out, this can in turn result in a change in the vibration behavior and thus, in turn, a change in the loads on the muscle parts or the movement coordination to be influenced. These additional weights are particularly effective as damping weights. It is furthermore preferred if the protective devices and the damping weights are formed from elastic, preferably rubber-like material.
Gemäss einem weiteren Aspekt der erfindungsgemässen Lösung ist es vorgesehen, dass zwischen den Gewichten Dämpfungselemente angeordnet sind. Diese Dämpfungselemente können schlauchförmig, beispielsweise aus gummiartigen Material, ausgebildet sein. Diese schlauchartig ausgebildeten Dämpfungselemente werden ebenfalls über das stab- beziehungsweise stangenförmige Gebilde gezogen.According to a further aspect of the inventive solution, it is provided that damping elements are arranged between the weights. These damping elements may be tubular, for example made of rubber-like material. These hose-like damping elements are also drawn over the rod or rod-shaped structure.
Eine Weiterbildung der erfindungemässen Lösung sieht vor, dass die Gewichte derart ausgeführt sind, dass zum einen eine Verstellung beziehungsweise Verschiebung auf dem stabbeziehungsweise stangenförmigen Gebilde möglich ist, zum anderen, dass das die Gewichte bildende Material ausreichende Spannkraft besitzt, um die Dämpfungsgewichte axial zu fixieren.A development of erfindungemässen solution provides that the weights are designed such that on the one hand an adjustment or displacement on the rodbeziehungsweise rod-shaped structure is possible, on the other hand that the weights forming material has sufficient clamping force to fix the damping weights axially.
Diese Art der Ausbildung des erfindungsgemässen Wellnessgerätes gestattet eine kostengünstige Ausführung eines solchen Wellnessgerätes.This type of training of the inventive wellness device allows a cost-effective design of such wellness device.
Das elastische Material des stab- bzw. stangenförmigen Gebildes kann vollständig oder zumindest teilweise aus einer Glasfiberkunststoff-Verbindung erhalten sein.The elastic material of the rod-shaped or bar-shaped structure can be obtained completely or at least partially from a glass-fiber-plastic compound.

Ein Vorteil des Einsatzes von Kunststoff-Faser-Verbindungen liegt darin, dass diese Materialien eine geringe spezifische Dichte besitzen, und daher die Erfindung insgesamt nicht zu schwer wird. Natürlich kann das Schwingungsverhalten des Gebildes durch die Zusammensetzung des Materials, zum Beispiel die Beimischung von entsprechenden Fasermaterial, wie angegeben, beliebig eingestellt werden. Gleichzeitig erhöht sich dabei auch die Bruch- und Verschleissfestigkeit des erfindungsgemässen Wellnessgerätes. Gleiches wird auch durch die noch angeführten Verbund- oder Sandwichbauweisen erreicht.An advantage of the use of plastic-fiber compounds is that these materials have a low specific gravity and therefore the invention as a whole does not become too heavy. Of course, the vibration behavior of the structure by the composition of the material, for example, the admixture of corresponding fiber material, as indicated, can be set arbitrarily. At the same time, the fracture and wear resistance of the inventive wellness device also increases. The same is achieved by the still mentioned composite or sandwich construction methods.
Die Art der gewählten Materialien beziehungsweise Materialverbindungen gestattet weiterhin eine sehr leichte Ausführung. Es ist dadurch möglich, dass das Gewicht des Gerätes geringer als 1,0 kg ist, bevorzugt je nach Grösse des Wellnessgerätes zwischen 300 g und 600 g beträgt. Auch gelingt hierduch ein kostengünstiges Wellnessgerät, da die Materialien günstig beschaffbar sind, und auch eine Serienfertigung leicht realisierbar ist.The nature of the selected materials or material connections further allows a very light design.

Somit ist es möglich, Geräte mit unterschiedlichen Schwingungsverhalten für die unterschiedlichsten Übungsvariationen zur Verfügung zu stellen. Gerade der Einsatz von verhältnissmässig "steifen" Materialien erlaubt es in eleganter Weise das Schwingungsverhalten, und gegebenfalls auch gleichzeitig das optische Erscheinungsbild zu variieren. Gleiches gilt auch für eine Sandwichbauweise.According to the invention it is proposed that the elastic material is formed from a composite material, preferably consisting of the aforementioned materials. Thus, it is possible to provide devices with different vibration behavior for a wide variety of exercise variations available. Especially the use of relatively "rigid" materials allows elegantly the vibration behavior, and if necessary, at the same time to vary the visual appearance.

Insbesondere ist es möglich, dass das gesamte stabbeziehungsweise stangenförmige Gebilde gemäss einer der zuvor beschriebenen Ausführungsformen von einer Schutzhülle umgeben ist. Dies führt zum einen zu einem gewissen Schutz des gesamten Wellnessgerätes, zum anderen ist damit eine unterschiedlichen Ansprüchen Rechnung tragende Gestaltung des Gerätes möglich. Weiterhin kann auch von dieser Schutzhülle das Schwingungsverhalten des gesamten Gerätes beeinflusst werden.In particular, it is possible that the entire stabbeziehungsweise rod-shaped structure according to one of the embodiments described above is surrounded by a protective cover. On the one hand, this leads to a certain protection of the entire wellness device and, on the other hand, a different design of the device is possible. Furthermore, the vibration behavior of the entire device can also be influenced by this protective cover.
