Definitions
- the present invention relates to an exercise equipment, primarily intended for activation of the muscles of the trunk, abdomen, back, shoulders and arms.
- the object of the present invention is to provide an exercise equipment which is easy to use, and which does not demand specially adapted spaces for exercising or storage.
- the equipment can also be used
- the equipment is also suitable for use as exercising equipment for athletes, such as for use when shadow-boxing in order to improve the quickness of the punches .
- Fig. 1 shows a schematic view of the exercise equipment according to the invention
- Fig. 2 shows an alternative embodiment of the exercise
- FIG. 3 shows the use of the exercise equipment according to the invention. Detailed description of the Invention
- Fig. 1 is schematically shown part of the exercise
- equipment consisting of a central elongated back plate 1 intended to abut against the back of a user.
- the back plate has a length such that it preferably extends around the back part of the user and forward over the upper part of the arms.
- the equipment has elastic elements 2 and 3 arranged at each short side of the back plate.
- a handle 4, 5 is arranged at the end of each element 2 and 3, respectively.
- the equipment is manufactured with the back plate 1 and the elastic elements 2, 3 made in one piece. It can be manufactured from natural rubber, para rubber or another rubber material or from a synthetic material with similar characteristics.
- the back plate is produced substantially wider compared to the width of the elastic elements. Thereby is achieved that in use of the equipment the back plate, due to its large frictional surface will lie stationary against the back and it will not slide upwards, which inevitably will occur if a narrow band had been used instead. Since the elastic elements are
- the elastic elements will be stretched while the back plate is substantially unaffected.
- the width of the elastic elements should not be wider that 1/2 the width of the back plate, and preferably not more than 1/3 of the width of the back plate, e.g. 1/5 of the width of the back plate.
- the resistance in or the power needed to stretch the elastic elements can be varied by changing the thickness of the material forming the back plate and the elastic elements, when the equipment is manufactured in one piece.
- the invention is however not limited to the embodiment shown in Fig. 1.
- the elastic elements 2, 3 may be comprised of separate parts, which in a suitable way are attached to the back plate.
- the equipment consists of a back plate and separately manufactured elastic elements being attached on the back plate, different materials can be chosen in the back plate and the elastic elements, respectively.
- the elastic elements can be given any design, e.g. as rods, tubes and with any desired cross section.
- the handles are attached to the elastic elements in a suitable way, e.g. by threading them through an opening in a yoke 6 and attaching them with a knot, shown at 7, or may be attached with a clamp or similar means, so that the length of the elastic element can be adjusted.
- a grip 8 with a grip friendly surface is provided in the yoke.
- the back plate comprises two parts 1A, IB each one of which demonstrates an elastic element 2A and 3B, respectively, and handles 4A and 5B, respectively, attached at the elastic elements.
- the parts of the back plate demonstrate fixture means 9 adjacent to the end that opposes the elastic element. Only the fixture means at part 1A is shown in the drawing.
- the fixture means at the parts of the back plate are designed to interact with each other in such a manner that the parts overlap each other to a greater or lesser extent, through which overlapping the length of the back plate can be adapted to the user.
- the fixture means may be hook-and-loop tape.
- the invention is not limited to the use of any particular fixture means: what is essential is that it is to be possible to change the distance between the attachment locations of the elastic elements in order to adapt the equipment for optimal use.
- Other conceivable solutions may be to use buttons on one part and button-holes on the other part, hooks of metal or plastic on one part and corresponding holes in the other, buckles, etc.
- the back plate of the equipment is placed around the back part of a user. It is preferable that the extent of the back plate be such that its short sides are located
- the upper part of the body is rotated in order to activate the muscles of the trunk and upper part of the body, and the arms of the muscles and shoulder, in particular, are exercised by alternately pushing the arms forwards as is shown in Figure 3 by the arrows A and B.
