Definitions

  • the invention relates to a training device, namely an elliptical or crosstrainer with two pedals, which are attached to a respective pedal bar, the pedal bars are articulated with front ends, each with a pedal lever.
  • the pedal levers are pivotally connected to a respective front bearing.
  • 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.
  • the user of a training device rests during training on the pedals, which are firmly connected to the pedal bars.
  • the user's feet perform an approximately elliptical motion during exercise, which is where the name elliptical trainer for such devices comes from.
  • the ellipse is aligned so that the large radius of the ellipse run substantially horizontally.
  • the user of the training device thereby has the impression that he is moving in one plane.
  • the invention has for its object to improve a training device of the type mentioned so that different levels of difficulty are adjustable in the form that the exerciser can be taught the feeling to move uphill or downhill.
  • the front bearing height adjustable on a front frame part which is hereinafter referred to as a frame front part, are attached.
  • a frame front part By shifting the bearing point of the pedal levers, the orientation of the ellipse along which the feet of a user of the exerciser move can be changed.
  • the ellipse may be tilted up or down relative to a horizontal. Such an inclination gives the user the feeling that he is moving uphill or downhill.
  • the exerciser may have special adjusting means (adjusting means).
  • These adjustment means may comprise a drive, which is preferably an electric motor. The adjustment then no longer needs to be made with muscle power, but can be assisted by an electric motor.
  • the means for adjusting preferably comprise elements for converting a rotational movement into a linear movement. These elements may include a spindle and / or a nut, wherein the nut may be rotatably mounted on the spindle.
  • pedal bars of a training device are advantageously connected to the rear ends articulated with a respective pedal crank.
  • These pedal cranks may be rotatable about a common axis.
  • handles may be attached or molded onto the pedal levers.
  • the pedals can be slidably mounted on the pedal bars.
  • the pedals can then be hingedly connected to a push rod, wherein the push rods are advantageously articulated with a push rod crank.
  • These push rod cranks can be rotatably arranged about the axis about which the pedal cranks are already rotatable.
  • the distances between the points of the push rods on the push rod cranks and the axis can be advantageously adjustable.
  • the pedal cranks and / or the push rod cranks are advantageously formed entirely or partially by circular discs.
  • the points of attack of the pedal bars on the pedal cranks and possibly the points of engagement of the push rods on the push rod cranks are preferably in a plane which also includes the axis about which the push rod cranks and the pedal cranks are rotatable.
  • 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.
  • the hollow profiles are angled, so that they lie directly against each other in this area.
  • first webs 1 c The upwardly projecting ends of the hollow profiles which form the frame front part 1 b are interconnected via first webs 1 c. These first lands 1c are made of flat steel pieces.
  • 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.
  • an electric motor 5 is attached at this web 1 d, which is mounted below the first two webs 1 c.
  • 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.
  • the height of the cross-beam 7 can be changed.
  • struts 7a are firmly attached, which are height adjustable together with the crossbeam 7.
  • two front bearings 8 are provided.
  • 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.
  • the lower ends of the pedal lever 9 are pivotally connected via a bearing 11 with front ends of pedal bars 12.
  • the rear ends of the pedal bars 12 are formed by bearings of bearing bushes 12a and bearing pin 20 with pedal cranks 21 a, 21 b, wherein the pedal crank 21a is formed by a circular disc 21a.
  • the two pedal cranks 21a, 21b are rotatable about a common axis A.
  • the points of attack of the pedal bars 12 on the pedal cranks 21a, 21b are provided at the same distance from the axis A. Relative to the axis A, the points of attack are diametrically opposed.
  • a pedal crank designed as a flywheel flywheel 24 is driven from designed as a circular disk 21 .
  • a dental or V-belt 23 is placed over the circular disc 21a.
  • This belt drives the flywheel 24 with the interposition of a gearbox.
  • a housing 25 is provided in which various electrical Components, for example, an eddy current brake, various sensors and more are housed.
  • pedals 13 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.
  • 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 application of the push rods 16 to 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.
  • 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.
  • 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 moved radially on a line B or offset.
  • 19 holes 18 are provided on each of the push rod cranks, in which a coupling element of the bearing 17 can engage.
