Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a machine for muscle training without a substantial application of active strain by the user.
  • the machine for muscle training according to the present invention differs from the machines for muscle training of the prior art because, instead of aiming to the shaping of muscle masses through the application of strains, such as those needed for weight lifting, applies the studies that put in evidence the importance of the elastic relaxation of the muscles.
  • the proposed machine for muscle training proved to be particularly important because it was addressed not only to amateur or professional athletes, as the machines for physical exercise previously known, but also to those persons that, due to health or age problem, do not have anymore the necessary muscle tone for using machines for muscle training of the traditional kind, but also to persons having no time to dedicate to a physical activity of the traditional type, requiring prolonged exertions in specific environments (such as gyms).
  • a machine for muscle training comprising a bearing structure, to which a barbell is slidingly connected and can move vertically downward as a consequence of the application of a force and is connected to a plurality of elastic elements, which, as a consequence of the downward movement of said barbell, are loaded with elastic energy and tend to take it back to its starting position, said elastic elements being progressively engaged in an amount proportional to the distance covered from said barbell in its downward movement, until the elastic energy they accumulate is sufficient for counterbalancing the force working on said barbell.
  • said elastic elements are fastened each by means of one extremity to said bearing structure and present each a tie rod at the opposed extremity, having a beat element, said tie rods being divided in couples of tie rods having different lengths, the tie rods of each couple being arranged on elastic elements that are symmetrical with respect to the central vertical axis of the machine, in its movement said barbell engaging one couple at a time of said elastic elements, when it enters in contact with the beat elements of the respective tie rods.
  • said barbell can be integral with a mobile crossbar, slidingly coupled with said bearing structure and provided with openings having such a size to allow the sliding inside of said tie rods, not of said beat elements.
  • said bearing structure preferably comprises two vertical rods, fastened at a base, said mobile crossbar being provided at its extremities with two tubes free to slide along said vertical rods, which, preferably, are telescopic.
  • the machine for muscle training according to the present invention can comprise a fixed crossbar upperly connecting said vertical rods and to which the upper extremity of said elastic elements are fastened.
  • said elastic elements can be constituted by a plurality of springs and the machine can comprise a seat that can be adjusted in height.
  • the machine for muscle training without substantial application of active strain by the user is referred to with the numerical reference 1, and is constituted of a bearing structure 2 composed of two vertical rods 3 of the telescopic type, fastened to a base 4. Upperly, the vertical rods 3 are connected to one another by means of a fixed crossbar 5.
  • a mobile crossbar 6 the extremities of which are fastened to two tubes 7 each being free to slide along one of the vertical rods 3.
  • a plurality of couples of springs 8 are fastened to the fixed crossbar 5, in a position symmetrical with respect to a central simmetry axis A-A, the upper extremity of the springs 8 being fastened to the fixed crossbar 5 and the opposite extremity being free and hanging vertically beneath the upper extremity because of the force of gravity.
  • tie rods 18 are applied, having different length with respect to those of the springs of other couples. Further, all the tie rods 18 pass through correspondent openings of the mobile crossbar 6 and have a beat element 9, with dimensions greater than those of the openings, at their lower extremity.
  • a barbell 10 is fastened below the mobile crossbar 6 .
  • a seat 11 that can be adjusted in height is further fastened to the base 4, in a central position with respect to said two vertical rods 3 and below the barbell 10.
  • the machine for muscle training without substantial application of active strain by the user allow the user, after adjusting the height of the seat 11 and, adjusting the vertical rods telescopic 3, the height of the upper crossbar 5, to stand beneath the barbell 10, grab it with the hands (the arms being stretched) and allowing the body to fall downward thus seating on the seat 11.
  • the system constituted by the barbell 10 and the mobile crossbar 6 integral with it engages with an increasing number of springs 8.
  • the openings of the mobile crossbar 6 allow the tie rods 18 to freely slide inside until they engage with the respective beat elements 9. Because of the different length of the tie rods 18, the downward movement of the system constituted by the barbell 10 and the crossbar 6 will be opposed by a progressively increasing number of springs 8, in this way adapting to the weight of the user.
  • the involved springs 8 accumulate energy, turning out to be sufficient to take back upward the body of the user in the following step of going back upward, in order to take it back in the starting position.
  • the machine for muscle training without a substantial application of strain is able to ensure the periodicity of muscle stretching and retraction induced by the downgrading and upgrading movement of the barbell 10.
  • the body of the user undergoes the action of stretching and retraction without the need for applying substantially any kind of strain.
  • the internal surface of the two tubes 7 sliding along the respective vertical rod 3 is made up of a plastic material having a low friction coefficient, such as nylon®.
  • a telescopic carter made up of aluminium or other material to protect the springs 8, the carter being able to extend and shorten as a function of the stretching of the springs 8, to ensure they are always coated.
  • the machine for muscle training without substantial application of active strain by the user is able to automatically adapt its elastic action as a function of the weight of the user, with no need for the user to change the number of springs to be used.
  • the number of interested springs is determined by the weight of the user, who only has to adjust the height of the bearing structure 2 and the seat 11 as a function of his own.
  • the system constituted by the barbell 10 and the mobile crossbar 6 will continue to go downward until a sufficient number of springs 8 will be involved so to generate a return force that is sufficient with respect to the weight of the user.
