Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Trainingsgerät, nämlich einen Ellipsen- oder Crosstrainer mit zwei Pedalen, die an je einer Pedalstange angebracht sind, wobei die Pedalstangen mit hinteren Enden gelenkig mit je einer Pedalkurbel verbunden sind. Dabei sind die Pedalkurbeln um eine Achse drehbar angeordnet.The invention relates to a training device, namely an elliptical or crosstrainer with two pedals, which are mounted on a respective pedal bar, the pedal bars are connected to the rear ends articulated with a respective pedal crank. The pedal cranks are rotatably arranged about an axis.

Derartige Trainingsgeräte sind beispielsweise aus der Gebrauchsmusterschrift mit der Veröffentlichungsnummer DE 201 00 276 U1 bekannt. Darüber hinaus werden derartige Trainingsgeräte von verschiedenen Anbietern, darunter auch die Anmelderin, hergestellt und vertrieben.Such training devices are known for example from the utility model publication with the publication number DE 201 00 276 U1. In addition, such training devices from various suppliers, including the applicant, manufactured and distributed.

Das in der Druckschrift mit der Veröffentlichungsnummer DE 201 00 267 U1 offenbarte Trainingsgerät weist zwei Pedale auf, die fest mit den zugeordneten Pedalstangen verbunden sind. Ein Benutzer des Trainingsgeräts der auf den Pedalen des Trainingsgeräts steht, führt damit jede Bewegung aus, die die Pedalstangen ausführen. Die Bewegung ist im Wesentlichen ellipsenförmig, woher auch die Bezeichnung Ellipsentrainer kommt. Das in der Druckschrift offenbarte Trainingsgerät weist eine Möglichkeit auf, um je nach Körpergröße des Benutzers unterschiedliche Schrittlängen, d. h. unterschiedlich große Ellipsenbewegungen einzustellen. Für kleinere Personen mit einer kleineren Schrittlänge kann eine Ellipse mit kleineren Halbmessern eingestellt werden und für größere Personen mit größerer Schrittlänge eine Ellipse mit einem größeren Halbmesser.The training device disclosed in publication DE 201 00 267 U1 has two pedals firmly connected to the associated pedal bars. A user of the exerciser standing on the pedals of the exerciser performs any movement that the pedal bars make. The movement is essentially elliptical, which is where the term elliptical trainer comes from. The exercise device disclosed in the document has a possibility to vary depending on the height of the user's different step lengths, d. H. adjust elliptical movements of different sizes. For smaller individuals with a smaller stride length, an ellipse can be set with smaller radiuses, and for larger persons with longer stride length, an ellipse with a larger radius can be set.

Die elliptische Bewegung der Füße, die bei dem Bewegungsapparat auf den Rumpf des Körpers übertragen wird, kommt einer natürlichen Laufbewegung zwar sehr nahe, sie entspricht jedoch nicht 100 %ig dem natürlichen Bewegungsablauf. Insbesondere für Erstbenutzer ist die Bewegung auf einem derartigen Trainingsgerät daher ungewohnt.The elliptical movement of the feet, which is transmitted to the musculoskeletal system on the trunk of the body, comes close to a natural running movement, but it does not correspond to 100% natural movement. Especially for first-time users, the movement on such a training device is therefore unfamiliar.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, dem Übenden einen natürlicheren Bewegungsablauf, insbesondere eine natürlichere Bewegung der Beine und der Hüften zu ermöglichen als bei den bisher bekannten Crosstrainern.The invention has for its object to allow the practitioner a more natural movement, in particular a more natural movement of the legs and hips as in the previously known Crosstrainern.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass die Pedale verschiebbar an den Pedalstangen gelagert sind. Die Pedale sind so verschiebbar an den Pedalstangen gelagert, dass sie während des Benutzens des Trainingsgeräts nach vorne und hinten verschoben werden. Die Pedale sind also während des Betriebes auf den Pedalstangen verschiebbar und führen nicht eins zu eins die Bewegung der Pedalstangen aus. Dem Benutzer wird dadurch eine natürlichere Bewegung ermöglicht.This object is achieved in that the pedals are slidably mounted on the pedal bars. The pedals are slidably mounted on the pedal bars so that they are moved forward and backward while using the exercise machine. The pedals are so displaced during operation on the pedal bars and do not perform one-to-one movement of the pedal bars. The user is thereby enabled a more natural movement.

Vorzugsweise sind die Pedale mit je einer Schubstange gelenkig verbunden, wobei diese Schubstangen mit je einer Schubstangenkurbel gelenkig verbunden sein können. Diese Schubstangenkurbeln sind vorzugsweise um die gleiche Achse drehbar angeordnet, um die bereits die Pedalkurbeln drehbar angeordnet sind. Über die Schubstangenkurbeln und die Schubstangen wird jedes Pedal während des Betriebs des Trainingsgeräts auf der Pedalstange hin und her geschoben. Die Pedale führen damit eine definierte Bewegung auf den Pedalstangen aus. Durch diese Bewegungen der Pedale wird die Ellipse insgesamt flacher, was einem natürlicheren Bewegungsablauf entspricht.Preferably, the pedals are pivotally connected to a push rod, said push rods can be hingedly connected to a push rod crank. These push rod cranks are preferably arranged rotatably about the same axis about which the pedal cranks are already rotatably arranged. About the push rod cranks and the push rods, each pedal is pushed during operation of the training device on the pedal rod back and forth. The pedals thus carry out a defined movement on the pedal bars. These movements of the pedals make the ellipse flatter overall, which corresponds to a more natural movement.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführung des Trainingsgeräts können die Abstände zwischen den Angriffspunkten der Schubstangen an den Schubstangenkurbeln und der Achse einstellbar sein. Damit ist eine Anpassung auf Personen mit verschiedenen Schrittlängen möglich.In a preferred embodiment of the training device, the distances between the points of attack of the push rods on the push rod cranks and the axis can be adjustable. This allows adaptation to persons with different stride lengths.

Die Pedalkurbeln und/oder die Schubstangenkurbeln können ganz oder teilweise durch Kreisscheiben gebildet werden. Die Angriffspunkte der Pedalstangen an den Pedalkurbeln und gegebenenfalls die Angriffspunkte der Schubstangen an den Schubstangenkurbeln liegen vorzugsweise in einer Ebene, welche auch die Achse enthält, um welche sich die Pedalkurbeln und die Schubstangenkurbeln drehen.The pedal cranks and / or the push rod cranks can be wholly or partially formed by circular discs. The points of attack of the pedal bars on the pedal cranks and optionally the points of application of the push rods on the push rod cranks are preferably in a plane which also contains the axis about which the pedal cranks and the push rod cranks rotate.

Die Pedalstangen eines erfindungsgemäßen Trainingsgeräts können mit vorderen Enden gelenkig mit je einem Pedalhebel verbunden sein. Die Pedalhebel ihrerseits können schwenkbar in je einem vorderen Lager angebracht sein. Vorzugsweise ist dieses vordere Lager höhenverstellbar an einem vorderen Gestellteil des Trainingsgeräts angebracht. Durch die Höhenverstellbarkeit des vorderen Lagers kann die im Normalfall im Wesentlichen waagerecht ausgerichtete Ellipse nach oben oder unten geneigt werden. Durch eine derartige Neigung kann einem Benutzer das Gefühl vermittelt werden, er bewege sich bergauf beziehungsweise bergab.The pedal bars of a training device according to the invention can be hingedly connected with front ends with a pedal lever. The pedal levers in turn can be pivotally mounted in a respective front bearing. Preferably, this front bearing is height adjustable mounted on a front frame part of the training device. Due to the height adjustability of the front bearing, the normally substantially horizontally oriented ellipse can be tilted upwards or downwards. Such a tendency can give a user the feeling that he is moving uphill or downhill.

Das Trainingsgerät mit einem höhenverstellbaren vorderen Lager kann zum Einstellen der Höhe des vorderen Lagers besondere Einstellmittel aufweisen. Diese Einstellmittel können einen Antrieb, insbesondere einen Elektromotor umfassen, so dass die Verstellung des vorderen Lagers nicht von Hand erfolgen muss.The exercise device with a height-adjustable front bearing may have special adjustment means for adjusting the height of the front bearing. These adjusting means may comprise a drive, in particular an electric motor, so that the adjustment of the front bearing does not have to be done by hand.

Die Mittel zum Einstellen weisen vorteilhaft Elemente zum Umwandeln einer Drehbewegung in eine Linearbewegung auf. Solche Elemente können eine Spindel umfassen, auf welcher eine Mutter drehbar angebracht sein kann.The means for adjusting advantageously comprise elements for converting a rotational movement into a linear movement. Such elements may include a spindle on which a nut may be rotatably mounted.

An den Pedalhebeln sind vorzugsweise Handgriffe angebracht oder angeformt, an welche der Benutzer während der Übungen seine Hände anlegen kann.On the pedal levers handles are preferably attached or formed, to which the user can put his hands during the exercises.

Der in den Figuren 1 bis 5 dargestellte Crosstrainer weist ein Gestell mit einem Gestellunterteil 1 a und einem Gestellvorderteil 1b auf. Das Gestell ist im Wesentlichen durch zwei beabstandet voneinander angeordnete Hohlprofile hergestellt. Die Hohlprofile sind weitgehend parallel zueinander geführt, insbesondere im Bereich des Gestellvorderteils 1b. In einem hinteren Bereich des Gestellunterteils 1a sind die Hohlprofile abgewinkelt, so dass diese in diesem Bereich unmittelbar aneinander liegen.The crosstrainer shown in Figures 1 to 5 has a frame with a frame base 1 a and a frame front part 1b. The frame is essentially made by two spaced-apart hollow profiles. The hollow profiles are guided largely parallel to one another, in particular in the region of the frame front part 1b. In a rear region of the frame lower part 1a, the hollow profiles are angled, so that they lie directly against each other in this area.

Die nach oben ragenden Enden der Hohlprofile, die das Gestellvorderteil 1b bilden sind über erste Stege 1 c miteinander verbunden. Diese ersten Stege 1c sind aus Flachstahlstücken hergestellt. Außerdem sind die beiden Hohlprofile im Bereich des Gestellvorderteils 1b über einen zweiten Steg 1 d aus einem Hohlprofil miteinander verbunden. An diesem Steg 1d, der unterhalb der beiden ersten Stege 1 c angebracht ist, ist ein Elektromotor 5 befestigt. Dieser Elektromotor 5 treibt ein Spindelelement 4 an, dessen Länge durch den Elektromotor 5 verändert werden kann. Mit seinem unteren Ende ist das Spindelelement an einem Beschlag 2 angebracht, der fest mit dem Steg 1 d verbunden ist. Das obere Ende des Spindelelements 4 ist mit einem Beschlag 3 verbunden, der an einer Traverse 7 befestigt ist. Diese Traverse 7 ist zwischen den ersten Stegen 1c an Gleitrohren 6 verschiebbar gelagert.The upwardly projecting ends of the hollow profiles which form the front frame part 1 b are interconnected via first webs 1 c. These first lands 1c are made of flat steel pieces. In addition, the two hollow sections in the region of the frame front part 1 b are connected to each other via a second web 1 d of a hollow profile. At this web 1 d, which is mounted below the first two webs 1 c, an electric motor 5 is attached. This electric motor 5 drives a spindle element 4 whose length can be changed by the electric motor 5. With its lower end, the spindle element is attached to a fitting 2, the firmly connected to the web 1 d. The upper end of the spindle member 4 is connected to a fitting 3 which is fixed to a cross member 7. This Traverse 7 is slidably mounted on the sliding tubes 6 between the first webs 1c.

Durch ein Verdrehen einer Spindel des Spindelelements kann die Höhe der Quertraverse 7 verändert werden. An der Quertraverse 7 sind auskragende Streben 7a fest angebracht, die zusammen mit der Quertraverse 7 höhenverstellbar sind. An den freien Enden der Streben 7a sind zwei vordere Lager 8 vorgesehen. An diesen vorderen Lagern 8 ist jeweils ein Pedalhebel 9 schwenkbar gelagert. Die Pedalhebel 9 erstrecken sich sowohl unterhalb der vorderen Lager 8 als auch oberhalb der Lager 8, wobei die oberen Enden der Pedalhebel 9 Handgriffe 10 bilden.By rotating a spindle of the spindle element, the height of the cross-beam 7 can be changed. On the crossbeam 7 projecting struts 7a are firmly attached, which are height adjustable together with the crossbeam 7. At the free ends of the struts 7a, two front bearings 8 are provided. At these front bearings 8 each a pedal lever 9 is pivotally mounted. The pedal levers 9 extend both below the front bearings 8 and above the bearings 8, wherein the upper ends of the pedal levers 9 form handles 10.

Die unteren Enden der Pedalhebel 9 sind über ein Lager 11 gelenkig mit vorderen Enden von Pedalstangen 12 verbunden. Die hinteren Enden der Pedalstangen 12 sind über Lager gebildet aus Lagerbuchsen 12a und Lagerzapfen 20 mit Pedalkurbeln 21a, 21b verbunden, wobei die Pedalkurbel 21a durch eine Kreisscheibe 21a gebildet wird. Die beiden Pedalkurbeln 21a, 21 b sind um eine gemeinsame Achse A drehbar. Die Angriffspunkte der Pedalstangen 12 an den Pedalkurbeln 21a, 21b sind im gleichen Abstand zu der Achse A vorgesehen. Relativ zu der Achse A liegen die Angriffspunkte einander diametral gegenüber.The lower ends of the pedal lever 9 are pivotally connected via a bearing 11 with front ends of pedal bars 12.

In the area of the flywheel 24, a housing 25 is provided in which various electrical Components, for example, an eddy current brake, various sensors and more are housed.

An den Pedalstangen 12 sind Führungselemente 13 vorgesehen. Auf diesen Führungselementen 14 können Pedale 13 in der Erstreckungsrichtung der Pedalstangen 12 verschoben werden. Auf diesen Pedalen steht der Übende, der den Crosstrainer nutzt. Die Pedale 13 sind über Lager 15 mit einem ersten Ende einer Schubstange 16 verbunden. Die Schubstangen 16 sind mit ihrem zweiten Ende jeweils über ein Lager 17 mit Schubstangenkurbeln 19 verbunden. Die Schubstangenkurbeln 19 sind fest mit dem Lagerzapfen 20 verbunden, an welchen die Schubstangenkurbeln 12 mit ihrem Lagerbuchsen 12a angreifen. Diese Schubstangenkurbeln 19, die ebenfalls als Kreisscheiben ausgeführt sind, sind ebenso wie die Pedalkurbeln 21a, 21b um die Achse A drehbar.On the pedal bars 12 guide elements 13 are provided. On these guide elements 14 pedals 13 can be moved in the direction of extension of the pedal rods 12. On these pedals is the practitioner who uses the elliptical machine. The pedals 13 are connected via bearings 15 to a first end of a push rod 16. The push rods 16 are connected at their second end in each case via a bearing 17 with push rod cranks 19. The push rod cranks 19 are fixedly connected to the bearing pin 20 to which the push rod cranks 12 engage with their bearing bushes 12a. These push rod cranks 19, which are also designed as circular discs, as well as the pedal cranks 21a, 21b are rotatable about the axis A.

Die Angriffspunkte der Schubstangen 16 an den Schubstangenkurbeln 19 liegen einander diametral gegenüber und in einer Ebene E die sowohl die Angriffspunkte der Schubstangen 16 an den Schubstangenkurbeln 19, die Angriffspunkte der Pedalstangen an den Pedalkurbeln 21a, 21b und die Achse A enthält. Die Schubstangenkurbeln 19, der Lagerzapfen 20, die Pedalkurbeln 21a, 21b und eine nicht dargestellte, die Pedalkurbeln 21a und 21b miteinander verbindenden Welle sind starr miteinander verbunden und bilden eine mehrfach abgestufte Kurbelwelle.The points of attack of the push rods 16 on the push rod cranks 19 are diametrically opposite each other and in a plane E containing both the points of attack of the push rods 16 on the push rod cranks 19, the points of attack of the pedal bars on the pedal cranks 21a, 21b and the axis A. The push rod cranks 19, the bearing pin 20, the pedal cranks 21a, 21b and a not shown, the pedal cranks 21a and 21b interconnecting shaft are rigidly connected together and form a multi-stepped crankshaft.

Durch die Höhenverstellbarkeit des vorderen Lagers 8 und somit des Angriffspunktes der Pedalhebel 9 an dem Gestellvorderteil 1b kann die Neigung der Pedale 13 verändert werden. Wird das vordere Lager 8 angehoben, kann dem Übenden das Gefühl vermittelt werden, er müsste sich bergauf bewegen. Durch ein Absenken des vorderen Lagers 8 kann das Gegensteil erreicht werden; dem Übenden kann nämlich das Gefühlt vermittelt werden, sich bergab zu bewegen.Due to the height adjustment of the front bearing 8 and thus the point of application of the pedal lever 9 on the frame front part 1 b, the inclination of the pedals 13 can be changed. If the front bearing 8 is raised, the exerciser may feel that he has to move uphill. By lowering the front Bearing 8, the counterpart can be achieved; The practitioner can be given the feeling of moving downhill.

Die gegenüber einem herkömmlichen Crosstrainer zusätzlich vorgesehene Verschiebbarkeit der Pedale 13 auf den Pedalstangen 12 und die Kopplung der Pedale 13 über die Schubstangen mit den Schubstangenkurbeln 19 bewirkt eine zusätzliche Bewegung des Übenden auf den Pedalstangen 12. Dadurch wird eine insgesamt natürlichere Bewegung erreicht, als es bei den herkömmlichen Crosstrainern der Fall ist.The compared to a conventional crosstrainer additionally provided displaceability of the pedals 13 on the pedal bars 12 and the coupling of the pedals 13 via the push rods with the push rod cranks 19 causes additional movement of the exerciser on the pedal bars 12. This results in a more natural movement is achieved than at the traditional crosstrainer is the case.

Die Verbindung an den zweiten Enden der Schubstangen 16 und den Schubstangenkurbeln 19 ist lösbar. Der Angriffspunkt der zweiten Enden der Schubstangen 16, d. h. die Lager 17 können auf einer Linie E radial verschoben beziehungsweise versetzt werden. Dazu sind an jeder der Schubstangenkurbeln 19 Bohrungen 18 vorgesehen, in welche ein Kopplungselement des Lagers 17 eingreifen kann. Durch eine Verschiebung des Angriffspunktes des zweiten Endes der Schubstange 16 kann der Hub, den das Pedal 13 auf den Pedalstangen 12 während einer Umdrehung der Schubstangenkurbein 19 erfährt, variiert werden. Damit ist eine Abstimmung auf die individuelle Schrittlänge des Übenden möglich.The connection at the second ends of the push rods 16 and the push rod cranks 19 is detachable. The point of application of the second ends of the push rods 16, d. H. the bearings 17 can be radially displaced or offset on a line E. For this purpose, 19 holes 18 are provided on each of the push rod cranks, in which a coupling element of the bearing 17 can engage. By a displacement of the point of application of the second end of the push rod 16, the stroke which the pedal 13 experiences on the pedal rods 12 during one revolution of the push rod crank 19 can be varied. Thus, a vote on the individual stride of the practitioner is possible.
