Description

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Die Erfindung geht aus von einer Vorrichtung nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a device according to the preamble of claim 1.

Bemühungen, den Benutzern von Laufband-Heimtrainern zusätzlich zu den durch das Laufband vorgegebenen Lauf- oder Gehbewegungen, die im wesentlichen lediglich den Bein- und Unterleibbereich beanspruchen, eine körperlich-sportliche Betätigung zu ermöglichen, die auch den Oberkörper- und Armbereich beansprucht, sind in vielfältigen Ausführungsformen schon bekannt. Hierdurch gelingt es dem Benutzer, sich nicht nur eine umfassende körperliche Leistungsfähigkeit anzueignen und aufrechtzuerhalten, sondern auch einer, durch die ledigliche Heimtrainer-Laufbewegung, sonst einseitigen körperlichen Belastung entgegenzuwirken. Eine solche zusätzliche Abstützung des menschlichen Körpers über sogenannte Nordic-Walking-Gehstöcke verbessert daher nicht nur den sportlichen Geh-Rhythmus, sondern sichert auch eine wirksame Entlastung im Beinbereich, insbesondere lassen sich so sonst gelegentlich auftretende Schäden bzw. Schmerzen im Kniegelenk vermeiden.Efforts to allow the users of treadmill exercise bikes in addition to the specified by the treadmill walking or walking movements that essentially only the leg and abdomen area claim to allow a physical-athletic activity that also claims the upper body and arm area are in various embodiments already known. As a result, the user succeeds not only to acquire and maintain a comprehensive physical performance, but also to counteract one, by the sole exercise bike running, otherwise one-sided physical stress. Such additional support of the human body via so-called Nordic Walking walking sticks therefore not only improves the athletic walking rhythm, but also ensures effective relief in the leg area, in particular so that occasionally occurring damage or pain in the knee joint can be avoided.

Bekannt sind auf dem Gebiet der ergänzenden Ausstattung eines Laufband-Heimtrainers mit einer Nordic-Walking-Gehstockbetätigung etwa die folgenden Veröffentlichungen: Gebrauchsmusterschriften DE 203 16 924 U1 , DE 20 2005 012 299 U1 , DE 20 2004 003 621 U1 , DE 20 2004 007 622 U1 sowie die Offenlegungsschrift DE 10 2005 010 202 A1 , die sinngemäß in etwa der DE 20 2004 003 621 U1 entspricht.The following publications are known in the field of supplementary equipment of a treadmill exercise bike with a Nordic walking walking stick operation: utility model writings DE 203 16 924 U1 . DE 20 2005 012 299 U1 . DE 20 2004 003 621 U1 . DE 20 2004 007 622 U1 as well as the published patent application DE 10 2005 010 202 A1 , which roughly corresponds to the DE 20 2004 003 621 U1 equivalent.

Allen bekannten Veröffentlichungen ist zunächst gemeinsam, dass bei diesen die Nordic-Walking-Gehstöcke von zusätzlichen Antriebsmitteln bewegt werden oder, alternativ, an aufwendigen Säulen-Ausleger-Gelenk-Mechanismen aufgehängt sind, um einen in etwa naturgetreuen Bewegungsablauf zu erreichen. So ist in dem DE 203 16 924 U1 eine zwei kleinere Laufbänder beidseitig zum Laufband des Heimtrainers aufweisende Zusatzeinrichtung beschrieben, die am Hauptrahmen befestigt ist. Die zusätzlichen kleinen Laufbänder sind sinnvollerweise ebenfalls, jedoch von separaten Mechanismen angetrieben und dienen dazu, die Enden von aufgesetzten Gehstöcken nach Nordic-Walking-Art beim Training nach hinten abzuführen. Dabei ist zwischen dem Haupt-Laufband und den beiden kürzeren Hilfslaufbändern noch ein Sicherheitsstreifen eingefügt, um zu verhindern, dass ein Benutzer versehentlich auf eines der beiden Seitenbänder tritt.All known publications is initially common that in these the Nordic Walking walking sticks are moved by additional drive means or, alternatively, suspended from elaborate column-boom joint mechanisms to achieve an approximately lifelike movement. So is in that DE 203 16 924 U1 a two smaller treadmills described on both sides to the treadmill of the exercise bike having additional device which is attached to the main frame. The additional small treadmills are also useful, but driven by separate mechanisms and serve to dissipate the ends of patched walking sticks after Nordic-Walking-type during training backwards. In this case, a security strip is inserted between the main treadmill and the two shorter auxiliary treadmills in order to prevent a user from accidentally stepping on one of the two side taps.

Vergleichbar aufwendig ist auch das Stockführungssystem bei einem Nordic-Walking-Laufband entsprechend der DE 20 2004 003 621 U1 bzw. entsprechend der DE 10 2005 010 202 A1 , die eine Weiterbildung des in der DE 20 2004 003 621 U1 beschriebenen Systems darstellt, ausgebildet. Es sind rechts und links im tragenden Rahmengehäuse für das Laufband bzw. in Form von Formrohren an dieses angebaut von Luftdruckzylindern beaufschlagte Schiebeelemente vorgesehen, wobei die Gehstöcke am Ende mit einer geschlossenen Zugfeder und mit dem Schiebeelement in Führungsnuten wie in Schienen gegen den Luftdruck der Zylinder geführt werden. In diesem Zusammenhang kann allerdings darauf hingewiesen werden, dass üblicherweise bei einer Nordic-Walking-Betätigung der Benutzer seine Gehstöcke nicht noch gegen einen hier von einem Luftdruckzylinder erzeugten künstlichen Widerstand verschieben muss.Comparable consuming is the stock guide system in a Nordic Walking treadmill according to the DE 20 2004 003 621 U1 or according to the DE 10 2005 010 202 A1 who have a continuing education in the DE 20 2004 003 621 U1 described system is formed. There are provided on the right and left in the supporting frame housing for the treadmill or in the form of molded tubes to this fitted by air pressure actuated sliding elements, the canes at the end with a closed tension spring and with the sliding element in guide grooves such as in rails against the air pressure of the cylinder become. In this context, however, it should be noted that usually in a Nordic Walking operation, the user does not have to move his canes against an artificial resistance generated here by an air pressure cylinder.

Schließlich zeigt die DE 20 2005 012 299 U1 eine komplizierte Gestängeapparatur, jeweils gebildet von einer links- und rechtsseitigen Aufnahmeeinrichtung, diese wiederum bestehend aus einer Säule, einem ersten Gelenk, einem zweiten Gelenk und einem Ausleger, wobei der Ausleger über das erste Gelenk schwenkbar an der Säule angebracht ist und das zweite Gelenk auf der dem ersten Gelenk abgewandten Seite des Auslegers zur Aufnahme eines ersten Nordic-Walking-Stockes vorgesehen ist - der gleiche Aufbau befindet sich dann noch, zur Aufnahme des zweiten Gehstockes, auf der anderen Seite.Finally, the shows DE 20 2005 012 299 U1 a complicated linkage apparatus, each formed by a left- and right-side receiving device, this in turn consisting of a column, a first joint, a second joint and a boom, wherein the boom is pivotally mounted on the column via the first joint and the second joint the side facing away from the first joint of the boom for receiving a first Nordic walking pole is provided - the same structure is then still, for receiving the second walking stick, on the other side.

Abrundend sei noch auf die DE 20 2004 007 622 U1 hingewiesen, welche im Handgriffbereich jedes Gehstockes bei einem Heimtrainings-Laufband betätigbare Handtasten und Sendemittel beschreibt, um so Bedienungsanweisungen an die stationäre Steuereinrichtung übertragen zu können, die ansonsten nur unter Schwierigkeiten übermittelbar wären.Rounding off is still on the DE 20 2004 007 622 U1 which describes in the handle area of each walking stick in a home exercise treadmill operable hand buttons and transmitting means so as to be able to transmit operating instructions to the stationary control device, which would otherwise be transmitted only with difficulty.

Ausgehend von diesem bekannten Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, unter drastischer Vereinfachung der einzusetzenden Mittel und damit auch der aufzuwendenden Kosten einen vollkommen natürlichen Bewegungsablauf der Nordic-Walking-Zusatzfunktion in Verbindung mit einem Laufband-Heimtrainer zu erzielen.Based on this known prior art, the present invention seeks to achieve a completely natural movement of the Nordic Walking additional function in conjunction with a treadmill exercise bike under drastic simplification of the resources to be used and thus also the cost.

Vorteile der ErfindungAdvantages of the invention

Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 und hat, neben der Einfachheit des Aufbaus, den entscheidenden Vorteil, keine zusätzlichen Antriebsmittel oder Betätigungs-Ablaufmittel für die Gehstockfunktion zu benötigen, da es das ablaufende Laufband selbst ist, auf welchem sich auch der Benutzer je nach eigenem Temperament entlangbewegt, das auch für die Transportbewegung der Stockenden herangezogen wird. Die Erfindung stellt dabei sicher, dass sich der Benutzer weder selbst, etwa mit seinen Beinen, mit der ablaufenden Stockbewegung sozusagen verheddert, noch die aufgesetzten Stockenden vom Laufband abgleiten oder etwa beim Nachvorneziehen durch den Benutzer anschließend versehentlich gar nicht auf das Laufband aufgesetzt werden. Dabei können übliche Nordic-Walking-Gehstöcke Verwendung finden.The invention solves this problem with the characterizing features of claim 1 and has, in addition to the simplicity of the structure, the decisive advantage of not requiring additional drive means or actuation-drainage means for the walking stick function, since it is the running treadmill itself, on which also the user moves along depending on their own temperament, which is also used for the transport movement of the stock ends. The invention ensures that the user neither himself, for example, with his legs, tangled with the ongoing stick movement, so to speak, nor the patched stock ends slide off the treadmill or accidentally not put on the treadmill when pulling forward by the user afterwards. In this case, common Nordic walking canes can be used.

Der Erfindung gelingt daher bei einer Nordic-Walking-Betätigung in Verbindung mit einem Heimtrainings-Laufgerät insofern eine überraschende Lösung, als die dabei realisierte Nordic-Walking-Laufbewegung praktisch identisch dem Trainingsablauf entspricht, wie er auf natürliche Weise erzielt wird, wenn sich der Bewegungsablauf in der freien Natur abspielt. Lediglich für den Betrachter von außen ist erkennbar, dass sich beim Heimtrainer der Benutzer sozusagen nicht von der Stelle bewegt, dafür aber das Laufband die Bewegung übernimmt, während in der freien Natur die Unterlage, also üblicherweise der Erdboden, stillsteht und der Läufer seinen Standort fortlaufend ändert. Dies sind aber für die Erreichung des gesteckten Ziels lediglich belanglose relative Ortsänderungen - die jeweiligen Nordic-Walking Laufbewegungen unterscheiden sich daher physiologisch im Grunde nicht.Therefore, the invention succeeds in a Nordic Walking operation in conjunction with a home exercise running equipment insofar as a surprising solution, as the case realized Nordic walking running movement practically identical to the training process, as it is achieved in a natural way, when the movement playing in the wild. Only for the viewer from the outside can be seen that in the exercise bike, the user, so to speak, not moved from the place, but the treadmill takes over the movement, while in the wild the pad, so usually the ground, resting and the runner his location continuously changes. However, these are merely irrelevant relative changes of location for the achievement of the set goal - the respective Nordic Walking running movements therefore do not differ physiologically basically.

Wesentlich bei vorliegender Erfindung ist jedenfalls der Umstand, dass die Stockenden auf dem gleichen Laufband geführt sind, auf dem sich auch der Benutzer bewegt - übliche Laufbandbreiten bei Heimtrainern weisen, wie entsprechende Feststellungen ergeben haben, stets eine hinreichende Breite auf, so dass es für den Benutzer problemlos möglich ist, neben sich auf beiden Seiten noch die Laufstöcke für die Nordic-Walking-Betätigung, allerdings unter Einsatz entsprechender Hilfsmittel, zu handhaben. Ein wesentlicher Vorteil ist auch, dass die auf das Laufband aufgesetzten unteren Teilbereiche der Gehstöcke unabhängig von der Laufbandbewegung bewegt werden können, jedoch gegen ein Aufsetzen außerhalb des Laufbandbereichs gesichert sind.Essential in the present invention is in any case the fact that the stock ends are performed on the same treadmill on which the user moves - usual tread widths in home exercise bikes have, as appropriate findings have shown, always a sufficient width, so that it for the Users can easily handle next to themselves on both sides nor the walking sticks for the Nordic Walking operation, but using appropriate tools to handle. Another significant advantage is that the lower sections of the walking sticks placed on the treadmill can be moved independently of the treadmill movement, but are secured against being placed outside the treadmill area.

Die Führung der Gehstöcke, wie sie im Folgenden abkürzend bezeichnet wird, erfolgt sinnvollerweise im unteren Stockdrittel oder Stockviertel, so dass sichergestellt ist, dass einerseits im Handbereich hinreichend freier Bewegungsraum, auch für geringere Querbewegungen der Stockgriffe und auch keine sonstigen störenden Halteteile vorhanden sind, dass aber andererseits eine sichere Zentrierung der Stockenden auf die zugeordneten Laufbandflächenstreifen beidseitig zum Benutzer sichergestellt ist und auch dafür gesorgt ist, dass die unteren Stockbereiche nicht aus den Führungen herausgehoben werden oder diese verlassen, wenn der Benutzer bei seiner Gehbewegung über das Laufband die Stöcke abwechselnd oder gleichzeitig nach vorne zieht und diese dabei etwas anhebt.The guidance of the walking sticks, as it is abbreviated hereafter, is expediently carried out in the lower third of the third or quarter, so as to ensure that on the one hand in the hand area sufficiently free movement space, even for lower transverse movements of the stick handles and also no other interfering holding parts are present, but on the other hand, a secure centering of the stock ends is ensured on both sides to the user on the associated tread strip and is also taken to ensure that the lower floor areas are not lifted out of the guides or leave this when the user in his walking motion over the treadmill alternately or simultaneously pulls the stick forward and this raises something.

Die Erfindung ist in einer Vielfalt von Varianten und Ausgestaltungen realisierbar. In einer ersten Ausgestaltung, die auch in der Zeichnung dargestellt ist, können die Führungen in Form von Schlitzführungen zur Aufnahme der unteren Stockenden einstückig aus einem Werkstück geeigneten Materials herausgearbeitet oder von zwei im Abstand zueinander angeordneten Stangen gebildet und natürlich beidseitig angeordnet sein.The invention can be implemented in a variety of variants and embodiments. In a first embodiment, which is also shown in the drawing, the guides in the form of slot guides for receiving the lower rod ends integrally machined from a workpiece suitable material or formed by two mutually spaced rods and of course be arranged on both sides.

Es ist auch möglich, geeignete Drähte oder Seile in gegenseitigem Abstand zueinander unter Bildung eines Aufnahmeschlitzes für die Gehstöcke zwischen entsprechende Spann-Haltemechanismen auf beiden Seiten anzuordnen.It is also possible to arrange suitable wires or cables at a mutual distance from each other to form a receiving slot for the walking sticks between corresponding clamping-holding mechanisms on both sides.

Schließlich ist es möglich, die Stockendbereiche, auch entsprechend locker, in Ösen einzuführen, die ihrerseits in Schlitzführungen gleiten oder mit einem Ringteil oder dergleichen ein Spannseil oder ein sonstiges Führungslängsglied umfassen.Finally, it is possible to introduce the Stockendbereiche, also loosely, in eyelets, which in turn slide in slot guides or include a tensioning cable or other guide longitudinal member with a ring member or the like.

Ein besonderer Vorteil ist auch darin zu sehen, dass die ganze, eine Nordic-Walking-Funktion ermöglichende Apparatur auch an schon vorhandene Heimtrainer-Laufbandgeräte angebaut, an diesen befestigt, z.B. angeklemmt oder z.B. an den vorhandenen Grundrahmen von beiden Seiten angesetzt und befestigt werden kann, eventuell auch nur dadurch, dass Teilträgeranordnungen, die jeweils eine Stockführung aufweisen, Mittel aufweisen, um unterhalb des Gerätehauptrahmens zusammengespannt zu werden.A particular advantage is also to be seen in the fact that the whole, a Nordic walking function enabling apparatus also grown on existing exercise bike treadmills, attached to this, for example, clamped or attached to the existing base frame from both sides and can be attached , possibly only in that sub-carrier assemblies, each having a stock guide, have means to be clamped together below the main frame of the device.

Die Führungsmittel für die unteren Gehstockbereiche sind, wie erwähnt, beidseitig zum Laufband angeordnet und zweckmäßigerweise an ihren Endbereichen, vom Benutzer aus gesehen also vorne und hinten, mit Hilfe von nach oben und etwas nach innen weisenden Halteanordnungen, z.B. Lagerständer, am Hauptrahmen des Heimtrainers befestigt. Diese Halteanordnungen sind bei einer ersten Variante jeweils für sich direkt mit Teilen des Hauptrahmens verbunden, angeklemmt, verschraubt, eventuell auch verklebt, sie können aber auch an eigenen Längshilfsstreben, die beidseitig außen am Hauptrahmen angesetzt sind, befestigt sein, wobei die Längshilfstreben am Hauptrahmen wiederum beliebig, durch Schrauben, Steckverbindungen und dergleichen angeordnet sind oder über eigene Spannmittel verfügen, um am Hauptrahmen angeklemmt oder unter dem Hauptrahmen verlaufend miteinander verbunden zu werden. Im Grunde sind den denkbaren Befestigungsmöglichkeiten für insbesondere auch nachträglich an schon vorhandene Laufband-Heimtrainer zu befestigende Stockführungsmittel keine Grenzen gesetzt.The guide means for the lower walking stick areas are, as mentioned, arranged on both sides of the treadmill and expediently at their end areas, seen from the user so front and back, by means of upwardly and slightly inwardly facing holding arrangements, e.g. Storage rack, attached to the main frame of the exercise bike. These holding arrangements are in a first variant in each case directly connected to parts of the main frame, clamped, screwed, possibly also glued, but they can also be attached to own longitudinal auxiliary struts, which are on both sides outside of the main frame attached, the longitudinal struts on the main frame turn arbitrarily, by screws, connectors and the like are arranged or have their own clamping means to be clamped to the main frame or running under the main frame connected to each other. Basically, the possible mounting options for especially even subsequently to existing treadmill exercise bike to be fixed stock management means no limits.

Insofern ist es durch die Erfindung für den Benutzer möglich, sich voll und ganz auf seinen sportlichen Einsatz und seine Gehbemühungen zu konzentrieren, da die Gehstock-Führungsmittel zuverlässig dafür Sorge tragen, dass die Gehstöcke immer sauber geführt sind und sicher auf dem Laufband aufsetzen, anders als wenn z.B. parallele kleine Hilfslaufbänder ständig Aufmerksamkeit erfordern würden.In this respect, it is possible for the user to concentrate fully on his athletic use and his Gehbeemühungen by the invention, as the walking stick guide means reliably ensure that the walking sticks are always clean and safe to put on the treadmill otherwise as if eg parallel small auxiliary treadmills would constantly require attention.

Vorteilhaft ist ferner, dass es die Erfindung in allen Ausführungsformen erlaubt, die Führungsmittel bis zu einem gewissen Grade elastisch nachgiebig bzw. federnd zu gestalten, entweder direkt durch federnde Ausbildung der Halteanordnungen für die Führungsmittel oder in Form von von sich aus elastischen oder nachgiebigen Führungsmitteln, so dass sich hier ohne von dem angestrebten Ziel einer sicheren Führung abzuweichen, einige begrenzte Freiheitsgrade für die Handhabung der Gehstöcke ergeben, aber auch für die Geh- oder Laufbewegungen beim Nordic-Walking selbst, da ein versehentliches Berühren oder Anstoßen an die Führungsmittel, deren Halteanordnungen und dergleichen beim engagierten Laufen mit den Füßen eine elastisch nachgiebige Reaktion hervorruft, ohne dass es gleich zu Verletzungen oder Abschürfungen kommt. Hier kann auch noch eine ergänzende Weichpolsterung von entsprechenden auf den Benutzer weisenden Teile in Betracht kommen.A further advantage is that the invention in all embodiments allows to make the guide means to a certain extent elastically yielding or resilient, either directly by resilient design of the holding arrangements for the guide means or in the form of elastic or resilient guide means of its own accord, so that without departing from the intended goal of safe guidance, some limited degrees of freedom for handling the walking sticks, but also for the walking or running movements in Nordic walking itself, as an accidental touching or abutting the guide means, their holding arrangements and the like while engaged in running with their feet produces an elastically yielding reaction without causing any injury or abrasion. Here can also be a complementary soft padding of corresponding pointing to the user parts into consideration.

Durch die in den Unteransprüchen sowie in der nachfolgenden Beschreibung aufgeführten Maßnahmen sind weitere vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen und Verbesserungen der im Hauptanspruch angegebenen Vorrichtung möglich.The measures listed in the dependent claims and in the following description further advantageous refinements and improvements of the main claim device are possible.

Zeichnungdrawing

Eine mögliche erste Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist zum besseren Verständnis in der einzigen Figur dargestellt und wird in der nachfolgenden Beschreibung näher erläutert.A possible first embodiment of the invention is shown for better understanding in the single figure and will be explained in more detail in the following description.

Der Grundgedanke vorliegender Erfindung besteht darin, bei einem Heimtrainings-Laufbandgerät eine kostengünstige Nordic-Walking-Funktion zu ermöglichen, die unter Verzicht auf aufwendige Zusatzkonstruktionen eine sichere Gleitverschiebung der auf das gleiche Laufband wie vom Sportler benutzt aufgesetzten Gehstöcke ermöglicht, die Gehstöcke und ihre Enden aus dem Bewegungsbereich des Sportlers heraushält und gleichzeitig dafür sorgt, dass die Gehstöcke stets einwandfrei aufgesetzt werden können, ohne dass der Sportler diesen Vorgängen eine übertriebene Aufmerksamkeit zuwenden müsste.The basic idea of the present invention is to enable a home-training treadmill device a cost-effective Nordic walking function, which allows waiving elaborate additional designs a safe sliding of used on the same treadmill as used by the athlete padded canes, the walking sticks and their ends Keeps out the range of motion of the athlete and at the same time ensures that the walking sticks can always be put on properly without the athlete having to pay too much attention to these processes.

In der Zeichnung ist ein übliches Heimtrainings-Laufbandgerät mit 10 bezeichnet, bestehend aus einem unteren Hauptrahmen 11, einem in diesem transportierten endlosen Laufband 12 und einem Bedienungspult 13. Der Hauptrahmen 11 besteht aus Längsträgern 11a und Querträgern 11 bund umfasst ferner unter dem Gestell befestigte Fußklötzchen 14.In the drawing, a conventional home training treadmill device is designated 10, consisting of a lower main frame 11, a transported in this endless treadmill 12 and a control panel 13. The main frame 11 consists of longitudinal members 11 a and cross beams 11 bund also includes under the frame attached Fußkötzchen 14th

Das Heimtrainings-Laufbandgerät 10, im Folgenden kurz als Laufbandgerät bezeichnet, weist zur Realisierung der Nordic-Walking-Funktion nach der Erfindung beidseitige, in diesem Fall an den Längsträgern 11a befestigte Führungsmittel 15a, 15b für Nordic-Walking-Gehstöcke 16a, 16b, auf. Die Führungsmittel 15a, 15b bilden, wiederum nur in diesem Fall, Führungslängsschlitze 17a, 17b, in denen der jeweils untere Teilbereich 18 der Gehstöcke 16a, 16b aufgenommen ist und in Längsrichtung und damit der Verschiebebewegung des Laufbandes 12 folgend gleiten kann. Die Handgriffe 19 der Gehstöcke 16a, 16b sind von den Händen des Sportlers umfasst und folgen deren Bewegungen.The home exercise treadmill device 10, hereinafter referred to briefly as the treadmill device has to realize the Nordic walking function according to the invention on both sides, in this case attached to the side rails 11a Guide means 15a, 15b for Nordic walking canes 16a, 16b, on. The guide means 15a, 15b form, again only in this case, guide longitudinal slots 17a, 17b, in which the respective lower portion 18 of the walking sticks 16a, 16b is received and in the longitudinal direction and thus the sliding movement of the treadmill 12 following can slide. The handles 19 of the walking sticks 16a, 16b are covered by the hands of the athlete and follow their movements.

Bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel sind die Führungslängsschlitze 17a, 17b als Ausfräsungen von z.B. metallischen oder aus Kunststoff bestehenden Längsgliedern 20a, 20b gebildet, die Innenführungen für die Gehstockenden bzw. unteren Teilbereiche 18 der Gehstöcke 16a, 16b bilden. Die Führungsschlitze 17a, 17b sind bei außerhalb des Laufbandes 12 angeordneten Längsgliedern 20a, 20b vorteilhafterweise so angeschrägt, dass eine Führung der unteren Teilbereiche 18 der Gehstöcke 16a, 16b auf dem Laufband 12 sichergestellt ist.In the illustrated embodiment, the guide longitudinal slots 17a, 17b are formed as cutouts of e.g. metallic or made of plastic longitudinal members 20a, 20b formed, the inner guides for the walking stick ends or lower portions 18 of the walking sticks 16a, 16b form. The guide slots 17a, 17b are advantageously bevelled so that a guidance of the lower portions 18 of the walking sticks 16a, 16b on the treadmill 12 is ensured at arranged outside the treadmill 12 longitudinal members 20a, 20b.

Gehalten sind die Längsglieder 20a, 20b von Lagerständern 21, die bevorzugt endständig, also dort, wo auch das Laufband 12 von oben zugänglich, beginnt und endet, in beliebiger Weise mit dem Hauptrahmen 11 verbunden sind. Wird die Nordic-Walking-Vorrichtung sofort bei der Herstellung des Laufbandgeräts 10 mit berücksichtigt, dann kann die Verbindung der Lagerständer 21 am Hauptrahmen 11 fest, also durch Schweißen, Vernieten oder auch einstückig erfolgen, ansonsten in der späteren Anbauversion auch durch Klemmen, durch Steckverbindungen, Verschraubungen, Klebung und dergleichen.The longitudinal members 20a, 20b of bearing pedestals 21, which are preferably terminal, ie where the treadmill 12 is accessible from above, begins and ends, are connected in any desired way to the main frame 11. If the Nordic Walking device immediately taken into account in the manufacture of the treadmill device 10, then the connection of the bearing stand 21 on the main frame 11 fixed, so by welding, riveting or even done in one piece, otherwise in the later extension version by terminals, through connectors , Glands, gluing and the like.

Die Lagerständer 21, die auch einstückig mit den Längsgliedern 20a, 20b für die Führung der Gehstöcke 16a, 16b ausgebildet sein können, befinden sich jedenfalls mit ihren unteren Befestigungspunkten am Hauptrahmen 11 außerhalb der Breite des Laufbandes 12, sie sind jedoch so ausgebildet, z.B. gekröpft oder als Ganze so nach innen geneigt, dass die von ihnen gehaltenen Längsglieder 20a, 20b sich mit ihren Gehstock-Führungsmitteln 15a, 15b oberhalb der äußeren bzw. äußersten Randbereiche des Laufbandes 12 befinden, derart, dass sich die Gehstockenden auch dann, wenn man eine dem gesamten Aufbau innewohnende oder auch insbesondere gewollte Elastizität oder Nachgiebigkeit berücksichtigt, stets noch im Berührungsbereich mit dem Laufband 12 befinden.The bearing posts 21, which may also be integrally formed with the longitudinal members 20a, 20b for the guidance of the walking sticks 16a, 16b, are at least with their lower attachment points on the main frame 11 outside the width of the treadmill 12, but they are so formed, for example, cranked or inwardly inclined so that the longitudinal members 20a, 20b held by them with their walking stick guide means 15a, 15b above the outer or outermost edge regions of the treadmill 12th are such that the walking stick ends are always in the area of contact with the treadmill 12, even if one takes into account the inherent or even particular intentional elasticity or flexibility of the entire structure.

In der Zeichnung ist der gesamte Aufbau aus Lagerständern 21 und Längsgliedern 20a, 20b einstückig dargestellt. Es versteht sich, dass vorteilhafte Varianten innerhalb des erfindungsgemäßen Rahmens liegen. So können die Längsglieder 20a, 20b jeweils auch aus zwei parallelen Stäben, die zwischen sich im Abstand einen Führungsschlitz bilden, bestehen und die mit ihren Enden jeweils von Lagerköpfen umfasst sind, die in die Lagerständer 21 übergehen oder von diesen gehalten sind.In the drawing, the entire structure of bearing stands 21 and longitudinal members 20a, 20b is shown in one piece. It is understood that advantageous variants are within the scope of the invention. Thus, the longitudinal members 20a, 20b each consist of two parallel rods, which form a guide slot between them at a distance, and which are each covered with their ends by bearing heads, which pass into the bearing stand 21 or are held by these.

Es ist auch möglich, die Führungsmittel 15a, 15b jeweils in Form einer Öse auszubilden, in die die unteren Teilbereiche 18 der Gehstöcke 16a, 16b eingeführt sind und die z.B. mit einem angesetzten Gleitkörper in den Führungsmitteln beispielsweise in Form eines Führungsschlitzes gleitet. Alternativ könnten in diesem Fall die Längsglieder 21 aber auch jeweils nur aus einem Seil oder einer entsprechend eingespannten Drahtlänge bestehen, die von einem an der Öse angesetzten Ringteil umfasst ist.It is also possible to form the guide means 15a, 15b each in the form of an eyelet into which the lower portions 18 of the walking sticks 16a, 16b are inserted and which are e.g. slides with an attached slider in the guide means, for example in the form of a guide slot. Alternatively, in this case, the longitudinal members 21 but also each consist only of a rope or a corresponding clamped wire length, which is encompassed by an attached to the eyelet ring part.

Auf eine mögliche elastisch federnde oder innerhalb gegebener Grenzen nachgiebige Ausbildung von Teilen oder des gesamten Aufbaus der Vorrichtung ist, beispielsweise zur Vermeidung von eher unwahrscheinlichen Verletzungen oder um dem ganzen System eine eventuell sonst empfundene Starrheit zu nehmen, schon eingegangen worden. Auch ist es eventuell sinnvoll, bestimmte Teile, die sich im Berührungsbereich des übenden Sportlers befinden, mit einer geeigneten Polsterung oder mit schützenden Abrundungen zu versehen, so dass in Verbindung mit der erwähnten Elastizität, auch für möglicherweise noch untrainierte Personen eine gefährdungsfreie sichere Ausübung der Nordic-Walking-Sportart bei einem erfindungsgemäßen Heimtrainer sichergestellt ist.On a possible elastically resilient or within given limits compliant training of parts or the entire structure of the device is, for example, to avoid rather unlikely injury or to take the whole system a possibly otherwise perceived rigidity, has already been received. It may also be useful to provide certain parts that are in the contact area of the practicing athlete, with a suitable padding or with protective rounding, so that in connection with the mentioned elasticity, even for possibly untrained people a safe safe exercise of Nordic -Walking sport is ensured in a exercise bike according to the invention.

In der Anbauversion können, wie erwähnt, die Führungsmittel 15a, 15b in beliebiger Weise mit dem Hauptrahmen 11 verbunden werden, angeklemmt nach Art von Schraubzwingen oder eingesteckt mit sich verjüngenden Haltevorsprüngen an den Lagerständern in entsprechende Aufnahmebohrungen usw. Es ist aber auch möglich, die beidseitigen Führungsmittel 15a, 15b, etwa im Bereich der Lagerständer 21, durch eine zusätzliche Längsstrebe zu verbinden und beide Längsstreben dann mit Hilfe von unter dem Hauptrahmen 11 des Laufbandgeräts 10 hindurchgeführten Verbindungsgliedern oder auch Spannelementen von außen festsitzend an die Längsträger 11a des Hauptrahmens 11 anzupressen oder in sonstiger Weise zu befestigen.In the add-on version, as mentioned, the guide means 15a, 15b are connected in any way with the main frame 11, clamped in the manner of screw clamps or inserted with tapered retaining projections on the bearing posts in corresponding mounting holes, etc. But it is also possible, the two-sided Guide means 15a, 15b, approximately in the area of the bearing stand 21, to be connected by an additional longitudinal strut and then press both longitudinal struts with the help of guided under the main frame 11 of the treadmill device 10 connecting members or clamping elements from the outside firmly against the side members 11a of the main frame 11 or in other way to fix.

In einer weiteren Variante können die Führungsmittel 15a, 15b auch beidseitig kanalartig oder rinnenartig ausgebildet sein, beispielsweise jeweils bestehend aus zwei sich etwa im Stockdickenabstand gegenüberstehenden Wandungen oder auch Lamellen, die in der Höhe beispielsweise einem Viertel der Stocklänge entsprechen können und innerhalb des von ihnen gebildeten Abstandes den unteren Stockbereich gleitverschieblich aufnehmen. Die Befestigung der Wandbereiche etwa an den Längsträgern 11a des Hauptrahmens 11 kann in beliebiger Weise erfolgen, natürlich so, dass die nach unten offenen Führungskanäle oder Rinnen sich - im geringeren Abstand - oberhalb und innerhalb des Laufbandes 12 befinden, so dass, wie in allen Ausführungsformen, die Gehstöcke 16a, 16b von dem Laufband 12 mitgenommen werden, da sie durch die Rinnenführung nach unten bis zum Laufband 12 gelangen.In a further variant, the guide means 15a, 15b may also be channel-like or channel-like on both sides, for example each consisting of two approximately in the pitch distance facing walls or lamellae, which may correspond in height, for example, a quarter of the pole length and within formed by them Distance slidably accommodate the lower floor area. The attachment of the wall portions approximately on the longitudinal members 11a of the main frame 11 can be done in any way, of course, so that the downwardly open guide channels or gutters are - at a smaller distance - above and within the treadmill 12, so that, as in all embodiments , the walking sticks 16a, 16b are taken from the treadmill 12 as they pass through the channel guide down to the treadmill 12.

Es empfiehlt sich schließlich, zur Vermeidung eventueller abrasiver Wirkungen zwischen den in den Führungsmitteln 15a, 15b gleitenden Gehstöcken 16a, 16b und den Führungsmitteln 15a, 15b selbst leicht gleitverschiebliche Hilfsmittel oder glatte Materialien einzusetzen, wenn hier ein Bedarf vorliegen sollte, z.B. Verchromungen etwa im Innenbereich der Führungsmittel 15a, 15b, lackierte Stockbereiche oder leicht auswechselbare Medien oder Beschichtungen an beiden Teilen.Finally, in order to avoid any possible abrasive effects between the walking sticks 16a, 16b sliding in the guiding means 15a, 15b and the guiding means 15a, 15b, it is advisable to use easily slidable aids or smooth materials themselves, if there is a need, e.g. Chrome plating approximately in the interior of the guide means 15a, 15b, painted floor areas or easily replaceable media or coatings on both parts.
