Definitions

  • the main exercises for body wellness are those for muscles legs, abdominal, chest and arms. At present to develop all these parts of the body is necessary to have a lot of equipments/tools. In fact there are two kind of tools: multi-functional structures and mono-structures.
  • the first type, multi-functional, have iron or steel structures very big and weight (about 150-200 kg) and they are useful to make a lot of development exercises for chest, arms and for legs but not for abdominals on bench with tilted structure which are developed on different benches. These tools need a lot of space, usually gyms or rooms used for fitness in Hotels and sports structures and they are seldom in normal apartments.
  • Second type of Home Fitness structures can be used for specific exercises which help to develop single parts of the body. These structures have been made with iron or steel but they are different from the first ones because are light and not so big (about 15-50 Kg).

  • This new multi-functional model described, build in iron and steel tubes, is suitable to make all principal exercises for muscles development.
  • This tool is very special and different in these kind of articles for some reasons: it's a multi-functional structure which allows a complete training, with small dimension, and it could be put in little places in small apartments and houses.

Abstract

Home Fitness Equipment that allows with a single structure the development of abdominal muscles on bench with tilted structure and weight lifting on bench in horizontal position.

Description

  • The main exercises for body wellness are those for muscles legs, abdominal, chest and arms. At present to develop all these parts of the body is necessary to have a lot of equipments/tools. In fact there are two kind of tools: multi-functional structures and mono-structures.
  • The first type, multi-functional, have iron or steel structures very big and weight (about 150-200 kg) and they are useful to make a lot of development exercises for chest, arms and for legs but not for abdominals on bench with tilted structure which are developed on different benches. These tools need a lot of space, usually gyms or rooms used for fitness in Hotels and sports structures and they are seldom in normal apartments.
  • Second type of Home Fitness structures can be used for specific exercises which help to develop single parts of the body. These structures have been made with iron or steel but they are different from the first ones because are light and not so big (about 15-50 Kg). They can be used especially for some exercises like as lift exercises on horizontal bench for chest muscles, arms, shoulders and legs.
  • Otherwise there are specific structures for the development of abdominal muscles on tilted bench, which is the greatest problem of a lot of people that doesn't make usually Fitness activities. These structures can be put in little spaces in apartments and houses with the minimum space required.
  • At the present there are no single structures can allow, at the same time, to do either weight lift exercises on horizontal structure bench (arms, chest and shoulders muscles development) or exercises for abdominal on tilted bench.
  • The principal reason of this difficult is to assure stability of the supporting structure because if it's leaned, it needs a perfect balance between maximum weight's user and the maximum angle-shot of the structure which has used to make exercises.
  • Advantages and/or purposes of this Invention:
  • This new multi-functional model described, build in iron and steel tubes, is suitable to make all principal exercises for muscles development.
  • It offers the possibility to make exercises for abdominal muscles with tilted bench until 25° from horizontal plan, supporting the weight of a person until 80 kg.
  • The studies on the structures and angle-shot, have permitted to realize and fix the proportion between the maximum user's weight and the angle shot that this structure can support before its overturning.
  • Thanks to these studies above mentioned a new mechanism was born and with it the structure, being provided with a specific mechanic fixed pivot that allows to modify the angle-shot of structure easily and quickly.
  • This tool is very special and different in these kind of articles for some reasons: it's a multi-functional structure which allows a complete training, with small dimension, and it could be put in little places in small apartments and houses.
  • Further characteristics and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent hereinafter from the following detailed disclosure of a preferred, though not exclusive, embodiment of the invention, which is illustrated, by way of an indicative, but not limitative example, in the accompanying drawings, where:
    • figure 1 showing a traditional flat bench to do lift weight exercises.
    • figure 2 showing a bench where is possible to do exercises on tilted bench to development abdominal muscles. In particular structure fixing (ref. 1, fig. 2) with leg's support (ref. 2, fig. 2) will take place by one mechanical fixed pivot (ref. 3, fig. 2) which blocks the running during the use of the structure, in this way it's easy to change position.

Claims (2)

  1. - The above mentioned mechanism is characterized in that to allow traditional lift weight exercises on flat bench (fig.1) and the exercises for abdominal development on tilted bench (fig. 2).
    In particular the tubular leg of the bench (ref. 2, fig. 2), runs inside structure's tubular (ref. 1, fig. 2), produces a slope of the bench, which allows to changes the angle-shot of the structure easily and quickly.
  2. - Fixing structure (ref. 1, fig. 2) with leg's support (ref. 2, fig. 2) Is characterized in that will take place by one mechanical fixed pivot (ref. 3, fig. 2) which blocks the running during the use of the structure, in this way it's easy to change position.
