Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a training apparatus and, in particular, it relates to a multifunctional apparatus for developing the lower limb muscles.
  • the invention can be use as household equipment for a self-sufficient training, but is also used in the field of fitness facilities as single tool that embodies different machines.
  • Multifunctional training machines allow a user, by means of reciprocating movements of the limbs of the body, to carry out training exercises on different muscle groups, by selectively changing the machine configuration.
  • the main use of the multifunctional equipment is, normally, a household use, since it allows a user, even unskilled, who wishes a guide in the training movements, to carry out a differentiated training, i.e. involving many muscle groups. Further requirement is a minimum space to be occupied in a household space, notwithstanding different tools are available for each training exercise.
  • a bench or a multifunctional equipment may provide a training plane at an end of which a substantially L-shaped rod is pivotally mounted, which is adapted in particular to exercise the lower limbs, commonly called “Leg Extension” or “Leg Curl”.
  • the reaction force is generated through a plurality of weights, which are put in a special weight hold member, which make a resistance force that is opposite to the muscular force applied by the user.
  • a pneumatic system is used that adjusts the resistance force responsive to the training exercise to carry out.
  • US6340342 discloses a multipurpose exercising apparatus including a mattress unit formed of a back mattress and a seat mattress, a rack, and a damping unit including an actuating bar, wherein the relative angle between the back mattress and the seat mattress is adjustable. By changing the position and/or direction of the mattress, the angle between the back mattress and the seat mattress, and/or the position of the actuating bar, the user can operate the exercising apparatus to exercise different parts of the body in different exercising positions.
  • a multifunctional training apparatus for the lower limb muscles comprising:
  • said inclined axis of the rotatable coupling between said support element and said training bench is at an angle according to a combined inclination angle consisting of a first inclination angle in a plane parallel to said training bench and a second inclination angle in a plane orthogonal to said training bench.
  • said first and second inclination angles are obtained from a fixed pin that is integral to a frame of said training bench, wherein said fixed pin has an inclined axis which is at an angle with respect to said frame and is a rotation pivot for said support element about said inclined axis.
  • lock means are provided for locking the rotation of said support element on said fixed pin according to a plurality of reference points, in particular said reference points allow to arrange said support element from said first substantially vertical position to said second substantially horizontal position.

  • the multifunctional training apparatus provides two mirror-like multifunctional units, which are arranged symmetrically at opposite sides of said training bench, each having said movable support unit, said contrast member and said support element.
  • contrast members of two groups are connected pneumatically to each other.
  • training exercises can be effected moving the limbs either contemporaneously or alternatively.
  • the cylinders are compressed simultaneously, then the available volume, for example of air, in the circuit is low and the pressure increases coherently with the reduction of volume.
  • the two cylinders are compressed alternatively, and each cylinder acts as reservoir for the other cylinder.
  • the volume of air available in the circuit is reduced, then, less than the previous case and therefore the pressure increases less.
  • the action of contrast of the cylinders is lower.
  • an athlete can start the training exercises in the first way, i.e. moving the legs contemporaneously, carrying out a stronger exercise.
  • the athlete continues in the second way, i.e. moving alternatively the legs, where the action of contrast is much lighter.
  • the exercise of decreasing the training load is a very effective technique especially for losing weight or increasing muscular tone and resistance.
  • said support element comprises a first and a second rectilinear portions and a connection portion that connects said rectilinear portions in a way that is suitable to form a determined angle set between said first rectilinear portion and said second rectilinear portion, in particular said angle is set between 20° and 30°, preferably between 15° and 18°, in particular between 10° and 12°.
  • said first rectilinear portion of said support element is at an angle with respect to the axis of said fixed pin according to an angle set between 3° and 15°, preferably between 5° and 10°, in particular between 7° and 9°.
  • said movable support unit comprises:
  • said push element has a movable support portion that is adapted to move from a positioning configuration, where the user is not obstructed when positioning on said training bench, to a training configuration, where the user can carry out the desired training exercise, said push element being completely integral to said disc, in particular, said push element comprising a support arm integral to one end to said transmission disc to whose other end said movable support portion is present, which is capable of moving from said training configuration to said positioning configuration and remains in a plane substantially orthogonal to said support arm.
  • said contrast member comprises a rectilinear contrast element having a first end that is pivotally connected to said support element and a second end that is pivotally connected to said transmission disc at a determined application point, in particular said rectilinear contrast element is connected through mutual engagement means with said transmission disc, at said application point.
  • the mutual engagement means provides a protruding bolt from said second end of said actuator that engages with a hole that is made at said application point.
  • said plurality of application points is distributed along a circumference that is concentric to said transmission disc and, in particular, to each application point a specific type of training exercise to carry out corresponds.
  • said contrast member has a first end that is pivotally connected to an extension element that is slidingly engaged with said support element, in particular said extension element can slide with respect to said support element between a first position, where said first end of the contrast member is farthest from said transmission disc, and a second position, where said first end of the contrast member is much nearer to said transmission disc.
  • Lock means are provided for locking the extension element with respect to said support element in said first and second position, as well as in intermediate positions.
  • the extension element is an extension sleeve that slides in the support element and the lock means consists of a bolt that engages respective holes correspondingly in the extension sleeve and in the support element, to allow locking sliding movements in the first and second position and in the intermediate positions.
