Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft das technische Gebiet der Trainingsgeräte und Apparaturen zur Stärkung der Muskeln durch Überwindung einer Gegenkraft, insbesondere eine solche Vorrichtung für das Schwimmen, die eine Gegenschwimmanlage entbehrlich macht.The present invention relates to the technical field of training devices and apparatus for strengthening the muscles by overcoming a counterforce, especially such a device for swimming, which makes a counter-swimming pool dispensable.

Im Zuge von Muskeltrainingsmaßnahmen event auch physiotherapeutischer Krankenbe- und/oder -nachbehandlungsmaßnahmen oder beim Behindertensporttraining kann es notwendig sein, Schwimmbewegungen in Gegenstromanlagen/-becken, Swimmingpools oder physiotherapeutischen Wasserbecken, sämtlich räumlich begrenzte Schwimmanlagen, durchzuführen, bei denen es darauf ankommt gegen fließendes oder stehendes Wasser anzuschwimmen ohne insbesondere den vorausliegenden Beckenrand, ggf. auch die anderen Beckenränder, zu erreichen bzw. zu berühren. Medizinische, sportmedizinische oder physiotherapeutische Hintergründe beschreiben zahlreiche Dokumente des Standes der Technik/Medizin in ausreichendem Maße, so dass es entbehrlich ist, an dieser Stelle, zumal dies nicht Schwerpunkt dieser Erfindung ist, im Weiteren darauf einzugehen. Um diese eingangs genannte Zweckbestimmung zu erreichen, ist es notwendig, entweder den Schwimmvorgang in technisch und insbesondere energetisch aufwendigen Gegenschwimmanlagen mit hohem Wartungsaufwand oder eben an und in Einrichtungen, die diese in ihrer Wirkungsweise ersetzen, durchzuführen.
Die Kritik zum Stande der Technik soll nicht die v.g. Gegenschwimmanlagen erfassen, sondern vorbekannte Einrichtungen, die diese ja ersetzen sollen. Diese Mittel des Standes der Technik sind z.B. Seilanlagen mit bestimmten Anordnungen in ihrer Raumform und mit ihren Anordnungselementen.
In the course of muscle training measures also physiotherapeutic sickness and / or aftertreatment measures or the disabled sports training, it may be necessary to perform swimming movements in countercurrent systems / pools, swimming pools or physiotherapy pools, all limited swimming pools, where it matters against running or standing To swim without water in particular the front edge of the pool, possibly also the other edges of the pool, to reach or touch. Medical, sports medicine or physiotherapeutic backgrounds describe numerous documents of the state of the art / medicine to a sufficient extent, so that it is unnecessary at this point, since this is not the focus of this invention, to respond to it further. In order to achieve this purpose, it is necessary either to perform the swimming process in technically and in particular energetically expensive counter-floating systems with high maintenance or just on and in facilities that replace them in their mode of action.
The criticism of the state of the art should not cover the above mentioned counter-current swimming pools, but previously known facilities, which should replace them. These means of the prior art are, for example, cable systems with certain arrangements in their spatial form and with their arrangement elements.

Die DE 20 2006 011 958 U1 beschreibt ein Rückhaltesystem und dabei im Hauptmerkmal lediglich einen speziellen Haltepunkt am Beckenrand und in der weiteren Ausgestaltung eine Gummileine, die vermittels eines Hüftgurts, befestigt an der Hüfte des Schwimmers, dort angebracht ist. Die DE 20 2006 013 802 U1 beschreibt in Weiterentwicklung der technischen Lösung nach DE 20 2006 011 958 U1 einen extrem kleinen Swimmingpool als Becken mit Halterungen für die technische Lösung nach DE 20 2006 011 958 U1 . In DE 203 19 932 U1 wird gleiche Vorrichtung, ein Haltepunkt am Rand des Wasserbeckens, ein Gummiseil (zwischen Haltepunkt und Hüftgurt am Schwimmer) und ein Hüftgurt, angebracht am Schwimmer, die alle miteinander verbunden sind, beschrieben. DE 100 52 618 A1 beschreibt eine Vorrichtung zur Bestimmung des passiven Schleppwiderstands bei einem durch das Wasser gezogenen Schwimmer. Diese Quelle zum Stand der Technik ist als nicht naheliegend zum nachfolgenden Erfindungsgegenstand zu bewerten. Der Gebrauchsmuster-Patentanmelde-Komplex DE 20 2004 000 811 U1 , DE 20 2004 010 434 U1 , DE 10 2004 032 354 A1 mit Prioritätsbezugnahmen beschreibt eine technische Lösungen, die einerseits zur Schwimmunterstützung von Personen dienen und andererseits das Wegtreiben von Schwimmern verhindern sollen und aus Standmast mit Fundamentierung und Bodensockel, Seilen, diversen Verbindungselementen und einem Gürtel, der an Hüfte oder Brustkorb des Schwimmers anzulegen ist, besteht.The DE 20 2006 011 958 U1 describes a restraint system and in the main feature only a special breakpoint on the pool edge and in the further embodiment of a rubber line, which is attached by means of a hip belt attached to the hip of the float there. The DE 20 2006 013 802 U1 describes in further development of the technical solution DE 20 2006 011 958 U1 an extremely small swimming pool as a basin with mounts for the technical solution after DE 20 2006 011 958 U1 , In DE 203 19 932 U1 The same device, a breakpoint at the edge of the pool, a rubber cord (between breakpoint and hip belt on the float) and a hip belt attached to the float, which are all connected to each other described. DE 100 52 618 A1 describes a device for determining passive drag resistance in a swimmer pulled by the water. This prior art source is not considered to be obvious to the subject of the invention below. The Utility Model Patent Application Complex DE 20 2004 000 811 U1 . DE 20 2004 010 434 U1 .

In der FR 2 900 831 wird ein weiteres Rückhaltemittel beschrieben. Bei der dort offenbarten Vorrichtung ist ein Seil an einem außerhalb eines Schwimmbeckens gelegenen Punkt festgemacht. Das Seil schließt mit dem Beckenrand ab. An dem am Beckenrand gelegenen Seilende ist ein Gummiseil befestigt, dessen Enden mit den Füßen des Schwimmers verbunden werden können. Eine solche Vorrichtung übt allerdings eine Zugkraft auf die Fußgelenke aus und wirkt dadurch auf eine gestreckte Beinhaltung des Schwimmers hin. Sie schränkt somit im Gegensatz zu den üblichen Verhältnissen in einer Gegenschwimmanlage die Beinbewegungen des Schwimmers nachhaltig ein. Eine derartige Vorrichtung erlaubt vorwiegend nur ein sinnvolles Training der Arme, ist aber nicht dazu geeignet, die Verhältnisse in einer Gegenschwimmanlage realitätsnah nachzugestalten.
Alle vorgenannten technischen Lösungen sind nicht geeignet, die Wirkungsweise einer Gegenstromanlage zu ersetzen, wobei ein starker Schwimmer bzw. Sportschwimmer unter sehr starkem Kraft- und Geschwindigkeitseintrag in das umgebende Wasser einen Schwimmvorgang ortsunveränderlich bzw. auf der Stelle schwimmend, d.h. ohne Relativbewegung zum vorderen Beckenrand durchführt. Insbesondere sind die eingangs beschriebenen technischen Lösungen nicht in der Lage einen erhöhten Kraft- und Geschwindigkeitseintrag in das umgebende Wasser, insbesondere unter Verwendung von Schwimmpads auszugleichen und dabei die Stabilität des Gesamtsystems zu erhalten. Ohne auf die jeweils einzelnen Details eingehen zu müssen, liegt dies insbesondere an der jeweiligen Geometrie und Raumordnung sowie den Anlenkpunkten der einzelnen Vorrichtungselemente v. g. technischer Lösungen, so z. B. auch am Ort der Vorrichtungsbefestigung am Körper des Schwimmers.
In the FR 2 900 831 another retention means will be described. In the device disclosed there, a rope is tied to a point located outside a swimming pool. The rope ends with the edge of the pool. At the end of the pool located at the end of the rope a rubber rope is attached, the ends of which can be connected to the feet of the float. However, such a device exerts a tensile force on the ankles and thereby acts on an extended leg posture of the float out. It thus restricts the leg movements of the swimmer sustainably in contrast to the usual conditions in a counter swimming pool. Such a device allows only one meaningful training of the arms, but is not suitable for realistically reshaping the conditions in a counter swimming pool.
All of the aforementioned technical solutions are not suitable to replace the operation of a countercurrent system, with a strong swimmer or sports swimmer under a very strong force and speed entry into the surrounding water a swimming process ortsunveränderlich floating on the spot, ie without relative movement to the front edge of the pool performs , In particular, the technical solutions described above are not able to compensate for increased force and speed entry into the surrounding water, in particular using swimming pads and thereby to maintain the stability of the overall system. Without having to go into each individual details, this is particularly due to the particular geometry and spatial planning and the articulation points of the individual device elements vg technical solutions, such. B. also at the place of fixture fixture on the body of the swimmer.

Von diesem Stand der Technik und seinen Mängeln ausgehend, liegt der Erfindung die Aufgaben- und Zielstellung zu Grunde, eine Vorrichtung zu schaffen, die es in erster Linie ermöglicht, mit geringen Aufwendungen die Wirkung des Gegenstromschwimmens mittels Gegenschwimmanlagen in kleinen Wasserbecken, so auch häuslichen Pools, für sehr starke Schwimmer, Sportschwimmer und Schwimmer, die auf den Trainingseffekt von Schwimmpads nicht verzichten möchten, zu imitieren. Weiterhin ist es Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine solche Vorrichtung auch zur Rehabilitation von Querschnittsgelähmten In physlotherapeutische Schwimmbecken und für weitere physiotherapeutische Zwecke einsetzen zu können. Diese Vorrichtung soll im übrigen einen geringen Investitionsaufwand und nahezu frei von Wartungsaufwand und völlig frei von Energieaufwand sein.Based on this prior art and its deficiencies, the invention, the task and objective underlying the creation of a device that makes it possible, with low cost, the effect of countercurrent swimming by means of counter-swimming pools in small pools, including domestic pools , for very strong swimmers, swimmers and swimmers who do not want to miss the training effect of swimming pads to imitate. It is another object of the invention to be able to use such a device for the rehabilitation of paraplegics in physiotherapeutic swimming pools and for other physiotherapeutic purposes. This device is intended to be a low investment and almost free of maintenance and completely free of energy expenditure.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgaben- und Zielstellung durch die im Schutzanspruch/dargestelte Merkmale zur Gestaltung der Anordnungselemente und der Raumform der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung gelöst.According to the invention, this task and objective is achieved by the features set forth in the protection claim / for the design of the arrangement elements and the spatial form of the device according to the invention.

Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung zur Substitution von Gegenschwimmanlagen, insbesondere als Trainingsgerät für den Schwimmbetrieb bei Sportschwimmern aber auch für dem Home-Betrieb in kleinen Pools und die vorteilhaften Wirkungen dieser technischen Lösung ergeben sich aus u.a. folgendem.The inventive device for the substitution of counter-swimming pools, especially as a training device for swimming in sport swimmers but also for the home operation in small pools and the beneficial effects of this technical solution arise from u.a. following.

Diese Vorrichtung besteht unter anderem aus einem Seilrückhaltesystem. Beim forcierten Schwimmen mit kontinuierlichem Vortrieb durch die Schwimmbewegung (Freistil, Rückenschwimmen) entsteht ein Gleichgewicht zwischen Zug und Gegenzug an elastischen und nicht elastischen Elementen sowie dem Schwimmer, das aufgrund des wesentlich stärkeren Vortriebs und Auftriebs im Oberkörper dazu führt, dass sich der Schwimmer von der horizontalen in eine entsprechend seines ausgeübten Vortriebs nach oben geneigte bis fast vertikale Position aufrichtet, da der Auftrieb der Beine selbst unter Benutzung von Flossen nicht ausreicht. Unter anderem führt auch dieser Umstand zu gravierenden Mängeln des eingangs beschriebenen Standes der Technik, die teilweise zur Funktlonslosigkeit vorbeschriebener technischer Lösungen führen. Dies wird durch die nachfolgend noch zu benennenden Auftriebskörper an den Beinen, angeordnet in der Befestigungseinrichtung, verhindert. Wie andere derartige Vorrichtungen besteht diese erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung zunächst auch aus einem Seil, welches am Becken zu befestigen ist. Im Unterschied zur herkömmlichen Technik wird aber kein Gummiseil, sondern aus Gleichgewichts- und Lagestabilitätsgründen ein nichtetastisches/nichtdehnbares Seil variabler Länge eingesetzt und somit werden unbeabsichtigte Ortsveränderungen (Erreichen des Vorderrandes des Beckens durch Überdehnungen des Gummiseils bei zu starkem Krafteinsatz) des Schwimmers im eng begrenzten Becken verhindert. Dieses Seil soll eine solche Länge aufweisen, die derart an die Länge des Wasserbeckens und des Schwimmers angepasst ist, dass der Schwimmer bei angelegter Vorrichtung noch genügend Freiraum zwischen den Fußsohlen, gegebenenfalls den Zehenspitzen, und dem hinteren Beckenrand einerseits und genügend Freiraum zwischen den Fingerspitzen und dem vorderen Beckenrand andererseits besitzt. Dieses nichtelastischen Seil variabler Länge ist im rückwärtigen Beckenbereich je nach Erfordernis über oder unter dem Schwimmerniveau angebracht, wobei auch die Schwimmart, Freistil oder Brustschwimmen, eine Rolle spielen kann. In der weiteren Fortfolge ist ein Verbindungsglied, ein weiteres kurz gehaltenes elastisches/dehnbares Seil, vorzugsweise als Gummiseil und in einer Lange, die etwa der Oberschenkeltänge des Schwimmers entspricht, ausgebildet, welches lediglich zum Ausgleich von Diskontinuitäten (Ruckelbewegungen), vorgesehen, und ein weiteres Verbindungsglied angeordnet. An diesem Verbindungsglied sind in einer ersten Variante der Gesamtvorrichtung zwei bei der Anbringung der Vorrichtung am Körper des Schwimmers sich in einem Winkel α auseinander spreizende elastische/dehnbare Seile angebracht, die zum Verbindungselement an der jeweiligen Befestigungseinrichtung führen. Alternativ kann an dieser Stelle auch ein doppelt so langes Seil als einziges Seil in eine Öse dieses Verbindungsglieds eingehangen sein, welches sich dann auch entsprechend der zwei Seile im Winkel α aufspreizt, wenn die Anbringung am v. g. Verbindungselement der jeweiligen Befestigungseinrichtung erfolgt. Diese sich auseinander spreizenden elastischen Seile sollen eine Länge aufweisen, die zwischen etwa einer Oberschenkellänge bis etwa einer Beinlänge des Schwimmers bemessen ist, wobei diese Seile vorzugsweise als Gummiseile ausgebildet sein sollen. Zur Anbringung der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung ist eine Befestigungsvorrichtung vorgesehen. Sie besteht aus einem aus nachgiebigen, formbaren Material bestehenden Auftriebskörper und flexiblen Befestigungsbändern, vorzugsweise zwei Bänder mit Klettverschluss, wobei beides vermittels von Kunststoffschrauben oder Schrauben aus anderem nicht korrodierenden Material miteinander verbunden ist und diese des weiteren v.g. Verbindungselement, vorzugsweise als Gummischlaufe am Auftriebskörper befestigt, trägt, in weiches die elastischen Seilen eingehangen sind. Die Auftriebskörper sind vorzugsweise als flexibler PE-Schaumstoffkörper mit gummierter und aufgerauter Innenseite ausgebildet. Die Befestigungseinrichtung ist je nach Erfordernis mit oder ohne Auftriebsankörperteil an den Oberschenkeln oder an den Unterschenkeln des Schwimmers angebracht ist. Der o.g. Mangel des Aufrichtens des Körpers des Schwimmers in eine nach oben geneigte oder fast vertikale Position wird durch die Anordnung der Auftriebskörper an den Beinen des Schwimmers verhindert, insbesondere durch eine relativ tiefe Befestigung der Auftriebskörper am unteren Oberschenkel und die gespreizte Anordnung der zur Befestigungseinrichtung führenden Seile. Zweckmäßigerweise sind die Auftriebskörper seitlich am Oberschenkel zu befestigen. Durch die Verwendung und Anordnung der Gummiseile ist eine Kräfteteilung und damit eine weit fußwärts liegende Aufhängung in Schwimmrichtung gewährleistet,, die umso größer wird, je kräftiger der Vortrieb des Schwimmers ist. Somit wird der Negativeffekt des Aufrichtens im Becken beim forcierten kontinuierlichen Schwimmen kompensiert. Gleichzeitig entsteht beim Freistil- oder Rückenschwimmen durch, das unter Zug stehende Gummiseil mit der Überwindung des elastischen Widerstandes ein erwünschter Trainingseffekt für die Oberschenkel und Beckenmuskulatur. Bei diskontinuierlichen Schwimmbewegungen, speziell beim Brustschwimmen, ist der Auftriebskörper auch bei sehr forcierten Schwimmbewegungen nicht zwingend erforderlich. Allerdings führt der elastische Widerstand durch die sich im Winkel α aufspreizenden Gummiseile zu einem deutlichen Trainingseffekt im Bereich der Beinabspreizmuskulatur und durch die Vergrößerung der Fläche am Oberschenkel mittels Auftriebskörper zu einem geringen Trainingseffekt der Beinschließmuskulatur, der allerdings durch eine zusätzliche Vergrößerung der Fläche noch deutlich gesteigert werden kann. Für das Brustschwimmen ist eine Alternative der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung vorgesehen, die darin besteht, dass nach dem nichtelastischen/niehtdehnbaren Seil variabler Länge, dem Verbindungsglied dem weiteren kurz gehaltenem elastischen/dehnbaren Seil und dem weiteren Verbindungsglied eine Befestigungseinrichtung, bestehend aus je zwei Gurten mit Polsterung folgt, die am Schwimmer über die Schultern eingehangen ist und deren Polsterung flexibel aber nicht gummidehnbar ausgebildet ist. Die Gurte ermöglichen so eine dem sportlichen Brustschwimmen annähernd adäquate Bewegung, d. h. eine zwischen einer leicht aufgerichteten und einer zur Wasseroberfläche flachen Haltung des Schwimmerkörpers. Durch den elastischen Widerstand des kurz gehaltenem elastischen/dehnbaren Seil zwischen den beiden Verbindungsgliedern erfolgte außerdem mit jedem Schwimmzug eine zusätzliche Konditionierung der Bauchmuskulatur. Wird die erfindungsgemäe Vorrichtung mittels eines Saugnapfes am Boden des Wasserbeckens befestigt, wird mit jedem Aufrichten des Körpers des Schwimmers eine Stärkung der Rückenmuskulatur erreicht.This device consists inter alia of a rope restraint system. In forced swimming with continuous propulsion through the Swimming movement (freestyle, backstroke) creates a balance between train and return on elastic and non-elastic elements and the float, which causes due to the much greater propulsion and buoyancy in the upper body, that the float from the horizontal into a according to its exerted propulsion upright inclined to almost vertical position, since the buoyancy of the legs even using fins is not sufficient. Among other things, this circumstance also leads to serious deficiencies of the prior art described at the outset, which in part lead to the lack of functionality of the above-described technical solutions. This is prevented by the later to be named buoyancy bodies on the legs, arranged in the fastening device. Like other such devices, this device according to the invention initially consists of a rope which is to be fastened to the basin. In contrast to the conventional technique but no rubber rope, but for balance and position stability reasons, a non-elastic / non-stretchable rope variable length used and thus unintentional changes in location (reaching the front edge of the pelvis by overstretching of the rubber rope in too much force) of the swimmer in the narrow basin prevented. This rope should have such a length, which is adapted to the length of the water basin and the float that the swimmer with applied device still enough space between the soles, possibly the toes, and the rear edge of the tank on the one hand and enough space between the fingertips and on the other hand has the front edge of the pool. This non-elastic variable length rope is mounted in the rear pelvic area as required above or below the float level, whereby the swimming style, freestyle or breaststroke can play a role. In the further progression, a link, another short held elastic / stretchable rope, preferably as a rubber cord and in a length which corresponds approximately to the thigh length of the float, formed, which merely to compensate for discontinuities (jerking movements), provided, and arranged a further link. In this connection member, in a first variant of the overall device, two elastic / extensible ropes are spread apart at an angle α when the device is attached to the body of the float at an angle, which leads to the connecting element at the respective fastening device. Alternatively, at this point, a double as long rope as the only rope to be mounted in an eye of this link, which then spreads α according to the two ropes at an angle when the attachment to the vg connecting element of the respective fastening device. These apart-spreading elastic ropes should have a length which is dimensioned between about a thigh length to about a leg length of the float, these ropes should preferably be designed as rubber ropes. For attachment of the device according to the invention a fastening device is provided. It consists of a flexible, malleable material existing buoyancy and flexible mounting straps, preferably two bands with Velcro, both by means of plastic screws or screws of other non-corrosive material is connected to each other and this further vg connecting element, preferably attached as a rubber loop on the buoyancy body, wears in which the elastic ropes are hung. The buoyancy bodies are preferably designed as a flexible PE foam body with a rubberized and roughened inside. The fastening device is attached as required with or without Auftriebsankörperteil on the thighs or on the lower legs of the float. The above-mentioned lack of erecting the body of the float in an upwardly inclined or almost vertical position is prevented by the arrangement of the buoyancy bodies on the legs of the float, in particular by a relatively deep attachment of the buoyancy bodies at the lower thigh and the splayed arrangement of the fastening device leading ropes. Conveniently, the To attach buoyant body laterally on the thigh. Through the use and arrangement of the rubber ropes a division of forces and thus a far foot-mounted suspension in the direction of swimming is guaranteed, which is the greater, the stronger the propulsion of the float. Thus, the negative effect of uprighting in the pelvis during forced continuous swimming is compensated. At the same time arises during freestyle or backstroke by, standing under train rubber rope with the overcoming of the elastic resistance, a desired training effect for the thighs and pelvic muscles. In the case of discontinuous swimming movements, especially during breaststroke, the buoyancy body is not absolutely necessary even with very forced swimming movements. However, the elastic resistance leads to a significant training effect in the area of Beinabspreizmuskulatur by increasing the area at the thigh by means of buoyancy body to a small training effect of the leg-closing muscles, which are, however, significantly increased by an additional increase in the area can. For the breaststroke an alternative of the device according to the invention is provided, which is that after the non-elastic / non-expandable variable length rope, the connecting member the further briefly held elastic / stretchable rope and the other link a fastener consisting of two straps with padding follows , which is mounted on the float over the shoulders and the padding is flexible but not rubber-elastic designed. The straps thus allow for a sportive breaststroke approximately adequate movement, ie one between a slightly upright and a flat to the water surface attitude of the float body. Due to the elastic resistance of the short elastic / stretchable rope between the two connecting links, there was also an additional conditioning of the abdominal muscles with each stroke. If the device according to the invention is fastened by means of a suction cup to the bottom of the water basin, it is also used Strengthening of the back muscles is achieved every time the body of the swimmer is raised.
