Definitions

  • the present invention is related to a training machine for strengthen training and rehabilitation of the kind which is defined in the pre-characterising portion of claim 1.
  • the training person can lift a greater weight package than what was possible with a normal machine or alternatively perform more movements during one and the same workout session.
  • a machine of the type defined above is shown and described in US-A-4,563,003 .
  • This machine has a rod which is pressed against the weight package during the negative movement to increase the load when the weight package moves downwards.
  • an influence of the rod must occur directly dependent on the movement of the training person during the whole negative movement. If the training person increases or decreases the movement rate during the negative work the speed of the rod must be amended in the same proportion.
  • Such a regulation is very complex and difficult to perform in practise.
  • DE 4419883 discloses a training machine with the features of the preamble of claim 1. Further, a selected number of weights can be moved hence and force along a rail.
  • the rail can be inclined by means of a hydraulic or pneumatic piston assembly. The inclination of the rail is computer controllable.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a training machine of the type mentioned above which sets aside the above mentioned problem.
  • the negative strength can be trained with a more optimal weight mass in the selected weight package.
  • the result will be that the fatigue rate of the trained muscle will increase.
  • this invention it is possible to stimulate capacity improvement with less training amount than at training with conventional training machines. Scientific studies have shown that training where the selected weight package is adapted to the negative strength provides faster and greater strength growth than training where the weight package is adapted to the positive strength.
  • a training machine 1 for strength training and rehabilitation comprises a weight stack section 2 and a training section 3, which are fixed connected to each other by means of inclined beams 4 and 5 as well as beams 6 and 7 which are arranged in a horizontal plane and fixed connected at the lower part of said sections 2 and 3.
  • the weight stack section 2 has an inner substantially rectangular frame portion 8 (see Fig. 5 and 6 ), which is turnably journalled in pivot pins 9 and 10 within an outer substantially rectangular frame part portion 11.
  • a horizontal beam 12 is via vertical beams 12a, 12b fixed connected between beam 7 and the frame construction 13 of the training section.
  • the lower end of the inclined beam 5 is fixed connected to the beam 12.
  • the portions comprised in the frame construction of the training machine 1, which portions are fixed connected to each other, are advantageously welded to each other to achieve a solid construction, which shall be able to stand high loads concerning pull and press loads as well as vibrations.
  • weights 16 of a weight stack are arranged to slide.
  • the weights have besides holes 14a and 15a for the guide rods 14 and 15, respectively, also a central hole for a lifting rod 17 (see Fig. 5 ), whereby a package 18 containing a pre-determined number of selected number of weights can be lifted by introducing a pin 19 through a hole 20 normal to the central hole through both the lowest weight 16a in the package 18, which is to be lifted, and a corresponding hole 21 in the lifting rod 17.
  • Such corresponding holes 21 are arranged in front of all substantially horizontal holes 20 through the weights 16 of the weight stack, when the frame is vertical.
  • Bearings (not shown), preferably ball or roller bearings, can be mounted in the holes 14a and 15a for the control rods 14 and 15 to reduce the friction at the displacement of the weights along the rods when the inner frame is inclined, which is to be described below.
  • Lifting and lowering of the weight package 18 is performed by means of a non-elastic belt 22, preferably made by the material Kevlar ® , which belt passes via pulleys 23 and 24 arranged on the upper beam of the inner frame portion 8. After the pulley 24 the belt extends along the side beam of the inner frame and is turned 90° to thereafter pass over and abut another pulley 25.
  • the belt From the pulley 25, which is arranged substantially on the same level as the pivot pins 9 and 10, the belt turns off obliquely downwards towards a pulley 26 mounted on the beam 12 (see Fig. 1-4 ).
  • the pulley 26 has been mounted substantially on the same level as the pivot pins 9 and 10 so that the tension in the belt will not influence the movement of the inner frame 8, which is described below.
  • From the pulley 26 the path of the belt extends substantially horizontal towards a further pulley 27 mounted on the beam 12 and runs thereafter upwards through a pulley 28 of an equalisation device 29 to an attachment 30 which is provided on a protrusion on the beam 12b.
  • the equalization device 29 comprises besides the pulley 28 a further pulley 31, which as the pulley 28 is journalled in freely hanging linkage arms 32 and 33.
  • a further non-elastic belt 34 preferably made by the material Kevlar ® , is mounted at its end by means of fastening devices 35 to the lower ends of arcuately extending turning arms 36 and 37, respectively.
  • the equalisation device with the further belt 34 has been mounted in a well known way to equalize the power from the arms of the training person at loading towards the arms 42 and 43 which accordingly do not need to be moved away from the person the same distance to achieve effect because a person in most cases is not equal strong in both right and left arm.
  • linkage arms 38 and 39 are mounted, which are moveable in all directions, e.g., by means of a ball-and-socket joint.
  • the arms 38 and 39 are in turn at their other ends in all directions freely moveably connected to couplings 40 and 41 mounted on pull and press arms 42 and 43, which in turn are freely turnably journalled at their upper ends on the frame construction 12 at 44 and 45, respectively.
  • Handles 46 are provided at the lower ends of the arms 42 and 43.
  • the turning arms 36 are journalled on a common through shaft 47 fastened at the frame construction 13.
  • the turning arms 36 are freely journalled independently of each other on said shaft 47.
  • a stop 47a restrains the movements of the turning arms in one direction of rotation.
  • a hydraulic cylinder device 48 which at its one end 49 is mounted on a beam (not shown) which is fixed connected between the beams 6 and 7.
  • the other end 50 of the cylinder device 48 is journalled at the lower cross beam 51 of the inner frame part 8.
  • the hydraulic cylinder device 48 is shown as an example of a device to turn the inner frame 8 in relation to the outer frame 11.
  • Other known devices to perform this work can of course be used within the frame of the appended claims, as, e.g., a linear electro motor etc.
  • a person who shall train using the strength training device 1 according to the invention sets on the chair 52 and then grips the handles 46 on the arms 42 and 43, as is evident from Fig. 1 .
  • the inner frame is turned according to Fig. 3 so that the power which is required to lift the upper weight package 1 is reduced by the inclination of the inner frame 8, whereas the upper weight package 18 slides on the controller rods 14 and 15 and a reduction of the power which is required to press the handles forwards can be reduced with up to over 50%.
  • the positive power which is required to lift the weights will be substantially less than the negative force, i.e., in the order of more than 30%, more precisely about 40%.
  • the inner frame portion 8 is turnably journalled in pivot pins 9 and 10 so that the frame can be tilted to different positions depending on the difference in loads to be achieved at the negative or positive movements, as described above.
  • the suspension of the inner frame portion 8 in pivot pins shown in the drawings is not a limitation to such a suspension, the importance is actually that the frame portion 8 is tiltable around a substantially horizontal axis.
  • a single shaft can be provided, preferably extending outside the main outline of the inner frame portion 8.
  • the weights 14 are guided by means of opposite guide rollers 61 at both short ends thereof.
  • Each roller 61 is mounted on a shaft 62 and is arranged to be movable hence and forth in tracks 63 provided on the tiltable frame 8 of the machine and at each side thereof.
  • the guide rollers 61 can be firm knobs of preferably a low friction material or coated with such a material.
  • the rollers 61 can also be small wheels which are movable in the tracks 63.
  • the lifting rod 17 extends through the central hole 14a in the weights 14.
  • the guide rollers of figs. 9 and 10 can be provided at other sites of the weights, e.g., both rollers can be provided on anyone of the long side of the weight instead of on the opposite short sides.
  • the tracks are not mounted on the tiltable frame, but across the long sides of the weights and fastened to the frame.
  • FIG. 11 A further development of the training machine according to the invention, wherein the weight package with rollers as shown in figs. 9 and 10 is made as short as possible with respect to the height thereof, yet another embodiment is illustrated in Fig. 11 .
  • the weights 14 are guided by means of two guide rollers 71 at each end thereof, said rollers being mounted in such a way that on one weight the rollers are mounted on opposite ends, but at diametrically opposite corners, whereby next weight is turned 180 degrees so that the rollers of two succeeding weights are partially overlapped.
  • Each roller 71 is mounted on a shaft 72 and is arranged to be movable hence and forth in two parallel tracks 73 and 74 provided on the tiltable frame 8 of the machine and at each side thereof.
  • the guide rollers 71 can be firm knobs of preferably a low friction material or coated with such a material.
  • the rollers 71 can also be small wheels which are movable in the tracks 73.
  • a longitudinal recess can be provided in the inner side wall of each track to guide the rollers in the track when the frame 8 is tilted.
  • the lifting rod 17 extends through the central hole 14a in the weights 14.
  • the guide rollers of fig. 11 can be provided at other sites, e.g., all rollers can be provided on anyone of the long side of the weight instead of on the opposite short sides.
  • the tracks are not mounted on the tiltable frame, but across the long sides of the weights and fastened to the frame.
  • each roller can be replaced by two parallel wheels and the tracks will have flanges at the outer ridges thereof to receive such parallel wheels.
  • At both embodiments shown in figs. 9 - 11 at least one weight between weights having rollers mounted thereon can be provided without having a roller, since a predetermined number of weights having guide rollers will be sufficient to guide all weights hence and forth.
  • the weights without rollers can be provided with recesses which are intended to receive protrusions on the following weight having guide rollers to prevent that the weight without rollers is turned around the lifting rod.
  • the trained person is given the possibility to either lift more weights than what is possible by means of conventional known machine or lift more times with the same weight as was earlier used.
