Definitions
- the invention relates to a trimming device, which is designed to support the structure of the musculature of the human body, in particular the musculature of both shoulder areas and the areas of both arms - including the hands.
- Trimming machines for exercising the musculature of the human body are known and used in various designs, including trim devices that can be used while jogging or walking or even while sitting or standing by persons, around the muscles of the upper body, in particular the shoulder area including the arms. to train.
- a in this regard from the US 4,441,707 known isometric training belt is equipped with a hip belt, which serves as a guide for a non-stretchable, circulating around the user's waist rope.
- a hip belt which serves as a guide for a non-stretchable, circulating around the user's waist rope.
- the rope ends are alternately moved back and forth in response to swinging hand or arm movements, while the middle part of the rope is easily guided by the training belt around the hips.
- the resulting isometric muscle contractions cause voltage changes in the muscles involved, but no change in length, since the arm movements require little or no effort; the device is therefore only the extension of the exercise spectrum in a strength training.
- a disadvantage of the latter device is that the stretchy ropes are naturally subject to wear, which has decreasing, ie non-uniform expansion forces result.
- the ropes have a certain length and are designed for certain tensile forces, making them suitable only for users who have a matching arm length or a training condition corresponding to the tensile forces.
- Such a trimming device can only be used to a limited extent for several users with different training conditions and different stamina.
- a trimmer of other construction is from the US 5,618,249 A known. This consists of a hip belt on which a cable drum is provided in the back region for each arm or body side. Handles are attached to the cable ends leading out of the rope drums. In order for the cables to run from the user's body to his or her hands in certain directions, guide rods with guide rollers for the cables are also present in the back region of the hip belt. The preparation of such a trimmer is material and cost intensive, its handling is adversely affected due to the relatively large spatial structure and its weight.
- trimmer is out of the US Pat. No. 6,309,328 B1 known.
- this trimmer are within a housing which is provided on its outer side with a handle, a cable drum with a pre-wound rope and a device that makes it difficult to unwind the rope by a frictional force acting on the rope.
- a led out of the housing end of the rope can be attached to an object that rests relative to the trimmer, so that due to back and forth swinging hand or arm movements, the distance between the trimmer and object can be changed.
- the braking force is to be overcome, and it is also a restoring force generated, which causes the subsequent reeling of the rope rewinding the cable drum. The winding is not slowed down by the friction device.
- the present invention seeks to provide a trimming device, which is used by both persons of different constitution and different condition as well as the disadvantages of the prior art in terms of handling by the user no longer has. Incidentally, in this trimming device, the leverage applied to the wrist should be further reduced.
- a trimming device of the type mentioned above is equipped with two handles, one of which is designed to grip around with the right hand, the other for gripping with his left hand.
- each handle on a cable drum the drum axis is - when using the trimming device - both within the encompassing hand and is aligned substantially perpendicular to the palm of the hand.
- a cable is wound under pretension on each cable drum, led out of which a rope end of the handle and - when using the trimming device - with a predetermined position on the body of a user, preferably on Hull, mechanically firmly connected. Arm movements, which increase the distances between the handles and the attachment positions on the body, unwind the ropes by overcoming the bias, thereby requiring manual exercise supports the muscle structure.
- This training can be performed when the occupant is at rest relative to their environment, for example, standing, but also on the move, such as jogging.
- the use can be done for sports training, but also in connection with rehabilitation and physiotherapy.
- the trim device according to the invention is characterized inter alia by the fact that the axis of the respective cable drum is located within the encompassing hand, wherein they are each aligned perpendicular to the palm, and the outlet for the rope in both handles immediately laterally next to or immediately below one for the Plant of the handball provided outer surface of the handle is arranged.
- the generation of the bias under which the ropes are wound on the cable drums is provided by means of spiral springs, which are also arranged inside the handles.
- the coil springs produce when unwinding the ropes restoring forces, on the one hand correspond to the manually to be overcome pull-out forces, on the other hand cause the rope is rewound on the cable drum when reducing the distance between the respective handle and the attachment position of the rope on the body.
- the coil springs are functionally assigned to the cable drums so that their spring force counteracts the unwinding of the rope from the cable drum.
- means for varying the bias are provided under which the ropes are wound on the cable drums.
- These are, for example, designed as changing devices for the exchange of coil springs with different spring constants against each other.
- adjusting devices may be provided which are designed to increase or decrease the preload. This can be done in a conventional manner with adjusting wheels on the handles, with which the bias of the coil spring is either continuously or progressively variable.
- the spring force can be specified such that it is constant. This means that the force with which the rope is unwound from the rope drum is independent of the unwound rope length.
- the spring force can also be linearly increasing, so that the longer the unwound rope, the spring force and, accordingly, the extraction force necessary for unwinding increases all the more.
- the rope is wound on a conical drum.
- This cable drum preferably has rope grooves.
- the outer shapes of the two handles are designed unequal in that one handgrip is ergonomically adapted to the left hand, the other handgrip is ergonomically adapted to the right hand.
- the relevant features by which both handles differ are mirror images. Such are, for example the outlet openings for the ropes on the handles designed so that the rope exit direction is inclined in each case to the body.
- a plurality of different attachment positions on the trunk of the body are provided for the outgoing from the handles cable ends and provided for selection. This makes it possible to additionally vary the extension directions of the ropes from the handles.
- the attachment positions for example, by means of a belt to be attached to the torso, preferably at the hip, or a belt system to be placed around the upper body.
- Belt or belt system have at the attachment positions coupling elements for the cable ends, while at the cable ends to corresponding coupling elements are provided, which allow easy to manufacture and also to be loosened connection and may be formed, for example in the form of a bayonet lock or a hook-eye connection ,
- the coupling of the trimming device according to the invention is provided with means for measuring characteristics that characterize the training state of the body or the musculature, such as Seilauszugskraft- and training time measurement and their link to determine the energy consumption, pulse rate measurement and / or measurement of body temperature.
- a monitoring and optimization of training can be made.
- devices for the visually perceptible display and / or for storing the determined results may also be present.
- the handles of the trimming device according to the invention are provided with brackets to protect the back of the hand against impact injuries.
- at least one of the handles with a light source can continue be equipped, preferably in the dark to emit a light signal and thus in the open to prevent collisions with oncoming persons.

- the spring housing 20 is a mechanically connected to the cable drum 5 coil spring is housed, which provides the pull-out force, which is applied manually to unwind the cable end of the cable drum 5.
- the spiral spring generates the rewinding force, which rewinds the cable 11 onto the cable drum 5 as soon as the pull-out force decreases or becomes smaller than the restoring force. This happens in response to the arm movements, which increase or decrease the distance between the handle 1 and the position at which the handle 13 is attached.
- the in Fig. 7 belt 14 shown by way of example and arranged on the hip of the user has such a fastening position 18 for the grip 13.
- the attachment of the handle 13 to the belt 14 can be done for example by means of a known bayonet closure, wherein the coupling element 12 forms an element of the bayonet closure.
- the attachment position 18 on the belt 14 determines the direction of the drawn-out rope 11 from the handle 1 to the user's body.
- the invention provides that the rope 11 centrally "M" in height of the handball of the hand exits the handle 1, which surrounds the handle 1, wherein the distance a between the exit position of the cable 11 from the Handle 1 on the one hand and the pivot point 23 within the wrist area 17 on the other hand (see. Fig. 6a ) is reduced to a minimum level and thereby also the force exerted by the pull-out force on the wrist leverage is reduced to a minimum.
- the cable outlet opening 22 on the handle 1 is not in rectilinear Extension of the direction is arranged, in which the cable 11 is unwound against bias of the cable drum 5 or wound up as a result of a restoring force on the cable drum 5, but is laterally offset to it, as in Figure 6b can be seen.
- this lateral offset at the same time the possibility of contact between the rope 11 and the palm is reduced during use.
- the lateral offset is achieved by deflecting or changing the cable guide direction.

Armbewegungen, die den Abstand zwischen dem Hüftgürtel und den Handgriffen vergrößern, Seile unter Kraftaufwand von Seiltrommeln abgewickelt. Damit bei diesem Abwickeln die Muskeln trainierende Zugkräfte wirken, sind in beiden Seiltrommeln Reibscheiben vorgesehen, die den Seilauszug erschweren. Die Reibung ist einstellbar, so dass die zu überwindenden Zugkräfte abhängig von der jeweils eingestellten Reibung variabel sind. Zugleich werden beim Ausziehen der Seile Rückstellkräfte erzeugt, die jeweils für die Wiederaufwicklung auf die Seiltrommeln sorgen, sobald der Abstand zwischen dem Hüftgürtel und dem betreffenden Handgriff verringert wird. Das Aufwickeln wird durch die Reibscheiben nicht gebremst.Also in this device, depending on mutual hand or arm movements that increase the distance between the girdle and the handles, ropes unwound under the power of cable drums. In order for the muscles to exert tensile forces during unwinding, friction disks are provided in both cable drums, which complicate the cable extension. The friction is adjustable, so that too overcoming tensile forces are variable depending on the respective set friction. At the same time restoring forces are generated when removing the ropes, which provide each for the rewinding on the cable drums, as soon as the distance between the girdle and the handle in question is reduced. The winding is not slowed down by the friction discs.

Bei beiden letztgenannten Trimmgeräten sind zur Erzeugung und Einstellung der Seilauszugskräfte einerseits und zur Erzeugung der Rückstellkräfte andererseits gesonderte Vorrichtungen vorhanden, was aufgrund des verhältnismäßig großen räumlich Aufbaues und Gewichtes im Hinblick auf die Handhabung durch den Nutzer nachteilig ist.In both latter trim devices for generating and adjusting the pull-rope forces on the one hand and for generating the Restoring forces on the other hand separate devices present, which is disadvantageous due to the relatively large space structure and weight in terms of handling by the user.

Allerdings wirkt hier beim Ausziehen des Seiles aus dem Handgriff eine nicht unwesentliche Komponente der Federkraft insofern ergonomisch ungünstige auf die Hand des Nutzers, als dieser Kraftkomponente entgegenwirkt werden muss, um eine Verdrehung der Hand um das Handgelenk zu vermeiden. Der Nachteil besteht demzufolge nicht nur darin, dass das Handgelenk in unerwünschter Weise belastet wird, sondern auch die Ausnutzung der Federkraft zum eigentlichen Zweck, nämlich dem Muskulaturaufbau, nur begrenzt erfolgt.However, here when pulling the rope out of the handle a not insignificant component of the spring force insofar ergonomically unfavorable on the user's hand, as this force component must be counteracted to avoid twisting the hand around the wrist. The disadvantage is therefore not only that the wrist is loaded in an undesirable manner, but also the utilization of the spring force to the actual purpose, namely the muscular structure, only limited.
Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Trimmgerät anzugeben, welches sowohl von Personen unterschiedlicher Konstitution und unterschiedlicher Kondition nutzbar ist als auch die Nachteile des Standes der Technik bezüglich der Handhabung durch den Nutzer nicht mehr aufweist. Nebenbei soll bei diesem Trimmgerät die auf das Handgelenk ausgeübte Hebelwirkung noch weiter verringert sein.Based on this prior art, the present invention seeks to provide a trimming device, which is used by both persons of different constitution and different condition as well as the disadvantages of the prior art in terms of handling by the user no longer has. Incidentally, in this trimming device, the leverage applied to the wrist should be further reduced.
Erfindungsgemäß ist ein Trimmgerät der eingangs genannten Art ausgestattet mit zwei Handgriffen, von denen einer zum Umgreifen mit der rechten Hand, der andere zum Umgreifen mit der linken Hand ausgebildet ist. Dabei weist jeder Handgriff eine Seiltrommel auf, deren Trommelachse sich - bei Benutzung des Trimmgerätes - sowohl innerhalb der umgreifenden Hand befindet als auch im Wesentlichen senkrecht zur Handinnenfläche ausgerichtet ist.According to a trimming device of the type mentioned above is equipped with two handles, one of which is designed to grip around with the right hand, the other for gripping with his left hand. In this case, each handle on a cable drum, the drum axis is - when using the trimming device - both within the encompassing hand and is aligned substantially perpendicular to the palm of the hand.
Weiterhin ist auf jeder Seiltrommel ein Seil unter Vorspannung aufgewickelt, von dem ein Seilende aus dem Handgriff herausgeführt und - bei Benutzung des Trimmgerätes - mit einer vorgegebenen Position am Körper eines Nutzers, vorzugsweise am Rumpf, mechanisch fest verbunden ist. Armbewegungen, welche die Abstände zwischen den Handgriffen und den Befestigungspositionen am Körper vergrößern, wickeln die Seile durch Überwindung der Vorspannung ab, die dabei erforderliche manuelle Kraftausübung unterstützt den Muskulaturaufbau.Furthermore, a cable is wound under pretension on each cable drum, led out of which a rope end of the handle and - when using the trimming device - with a predetermined position on the body of a user, preferably on Hull, mechanically firmly connected. Arm movements, which increase the distances between the handles and the attachment positions on the body, unwind the ropes by overcoming the bias, thereby requiring manual exercise supports the muscle structure.
Dieses Training kann ausgeführt werden, wenn sich die nutzende Person in Ruhe relativ zu ihrer Umgebung befindet, beispielsweise stehend, aber auch in Bewegung, wie beim Joggen. Die Nutzung kann zum sportlichen Training, jedoch auch im Zusammenhang mit Rehabilitations- und physiotherapeutischen Maßnahmen erfolgen.This training can be performed when the occupant is at rest relative to their environment, for example, standing, but also on the move, such as jogging. The use can be done for sports training, but also in connection with rehabilitation and physiotherapy.
Das erfindungsgemäße Trimmgerät zeichnet sich unter anderem dadurch aus, dass sich die Achse der jeweiligen Seiltrommel innerhalb der umgreifenden Hand befindet, wobei sie jeweils senkrecht zur Handinnenfläche ausgerichtet sind, und die Austrittsöffnung für das Seil bei beiden Handgriffen unmittelbar seitlich neben oder unmittelbar unterhalb einer für die Anlage des Handballens vorgesehenen Außenfläche des Handgriffs angeordnet ist. Dies bietet einen im Vergleich zum Stand der Technik wesentlichen ergonomischen Vorteil, da der Abstand zwischen der Austrittsposition des Seiles aus dem jeweiligen Handgriff und dem Handgelenk auf ein Mindestmaß reduziert ist und damit auch die von der Auszugskraft auf das Handgelenk ausgeübte nachteilige Hebelwirkung auf ein Minimum verringert ist.The trim device according to the invention is characterized inter alia by the fact that the axis of the respective cable drum is located within the encompassing hand, wherein they are each aligned perpendicular to the palm, and the outlet for the rope in both handles immediately laterally next to or immediately below one for the Plant of the handball provided outer surface of the handle is arranged. This provides a significant ergonomic advantage over the prior art since the distance between the exit position of the rope from the respective handle and wrist is minimized and thus minimizes the adverse leverage exerted on the wrist by the withdrawal force is.
In einer ersten bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist die Erzeugung der Vorspannung, unter der die Seile auf den Seiltrommeln aufgewickelt sind, mittels Spiralfedern vorgesehen, die ebenfalls innerhalb der Handgriffe angeordnet sind. Die Spiralfedern erzeugen beim Abwickeln der Seile Rückstellkräfte, die einerseits den manuell zu überwindenden Auszugskräften entsprechen, andererseits dazu führen, dass bei Verringerung des Abstandes zwischen dem jeweiligen Handgriff und der Befestigungsposition des Seiles am Körper das Seil wieder auf die Seiltrommel aufgewickelt wird. Die Spiralfedern sind den Seiltrommeln funktionell so zugeordnet, dass ihre Federkraft dem Abwickeln des Seiles von der Seiltrommel entgegenwirkt.In a first preferred embodiment of the invention, the generation of the bias under which the ropes are wound on the cable drums is provided by means of spiral springs, which are also arranged inside the handles. The coil springs produce when unwinding the ropes restoring forces, on the one hand correspond to the manually to be overcome pull-out forces, on the other hand cause the rope is rewound on the cable drum when reducing the distance between the respective handle and the attachment position of the rope on the body. The coil springs are functionally assigned to the cable drums so that their spring force counteracts the unwinding of the rope from the cable drum.
In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Trimmgerätes sind Mittel zur Variation der Vorspannung vorgesehen, unter der die Seile auf den Seiltrommeln aufgewickelt sind. Diese sind beispielsweise ausgeführt als Wechseleinrichtungen zum Austausch von Spiralfedern mit unterschiedlichen Federkonstanten gegeneinander. Alternativ oder auch zusätzlich dazu können Stelleinrichtungen vorhanden sein, die zum Erhöhen oder Verringern der Vorspannung ausgebildet sind. Dies kann in an sich bekannter Weise mit Verstellrädern an den Handgriffen erfolgen, mit dem die Vorspannung der Spiralfeder entweder stufenlos oder progressiv veränderbar ist.In a further preferred embodiment of the trimming device according to the invention means for varying the bias are provided under which the ropes are wound on the cable drums. These are, for example, designed as changing devices for the exchange of coil springs with different spring constants against each other. Alternatively or in addition thereto, adjusting devices may be provided which are designed to increase or decrease the preload. This can be done in a conventional manner with adjusting wheels on the handles, with which the bias of the coil spring is either continuously or progressively variable.
Bei geeigneter Wahl der Spiralfedern kann die Federkraft derart vorgegeben werden, dass sie konstant ist. Das bedeutet, dass die Kraft, mit der das Seil von der Seiltrommel abgewickelt wird, von der abgewickelten Seillänge unabhängig ist. Alternativ kann die Federkraft jedoch auch linear zunehmend sein, so dass, je länger das abgewickelte Seil wird, die Federkraft und dementsprechend die zum Abwickeln nötige Auszugskraft umso stärker zunimmt.With a suitable choice of the coil springs, the spring force can be specified such that it is constant. This means that the force with which the rope is unwound from the rope drum is independent of the unwound rope length. Alternatively, however, the spring force can also be linearly increasing, so that the longer the unwound rope, the spring force and, accordingly, the extraction force necessary for unwinding increases all the more.
Um eine konstante Federkraft zu erreichen, ist das Seil auf eine konische Trommel aufgewickelt. Diese Seiltrommel hat vorzugsweise Seilrillen.To achieve a constant spring force, the rope is wound on a conical drum. This cable drum preferably has rope grooves.
Die äußeren Formen der beiden Handgriffe sind insofern ungleich ausgeführt, als ein Handgriff ergonomisch der linken Hand, der andere Handgriff ergonomisch der rechten Hand angepasst ist. Die diesbezüglichen Merkmale, durch die sich beide Handgriffe unterscheiden, sind spiegelbildlich ausgeführt. So sind beispielsweise
die Austrittsöffnungen für die Seile an den Handgriffen so gestaltet, dass die Seilaustrittsrichtung jeweils zum Körper hin geneigt ist.The outer shapes of the two handles are designed unequal in that one handgrip is ergonomically adapted to the left hand, the other handgrip is ergonomically adapted to the right hand. The relevant features by which both handles differ are mirror images. Such are, for example
the outlet openings for the ropes on the handles designed so that the rope exit direction is inclined in each case to the body.
In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind für die aus den Handgriffen herausgeführten Seilenden mehrere verschiedene Befestigungspositionen am Rumpf des Körpers vorhanden und zur Auswahl vorgesehen. Dies ermöglicht es, die Auszugsrichtungen der Seile aus den Handgriffen zusätzlich zu variieren. Definiert sind die Befestigungspositionen beispielsweise mittels eines am Rumpf, vorzugsweise an der Hüfte, anzubringenden Gurtes oder eines um den Oberkörper zu legenden Gurtsystems. Gurt oder Gurtsystem weisen an den Befestigungspositionen Koppelelemente für die Seilenden auf, während an den Seilenden dazu korrespondierende Koppelelemente vorhanden sind, die eine leicht herzustellende und auch wieder zu lösende Verbindung ermöglichen und beispielsweise in Form eines Bajonettverschlusses oder einer Haken-Öse-Verbindung ausgebildet sein können.In a particularly preferred embodiment, a plurality of different attachment positions on the trunk of the body are provided for the outgoing from the handles cable ends and provided for selection. This makes it possible to additionally vary the extension directions of the ropes from the handles. Are defined the attachment positions, for example, by means of a belt to be attached to the torso, preferably at the hip, or a belt system to be placed around the upper body. Belt or belt system have at the attachment positions coupling elements for the cable ends, while at the cable ends to corresponding coupling elements are provided, which allow easy to manufacture and also to be loosened connection and may be formed, for example in the form of a bayonet lock or a hook-eye connection ,
Optional ist die Kopplung des erfindungsgemäßen Trimmgerätes mit Mitteln zum Messen von Kennwerten vorgesehen, die den Trainingszustand des Körpers bzw. der Muskulatur charakterisieren, wie beispielsweise Seilauszugskraft- und Trainingszeitmessung und deren Verknüpfung zur Ermittlung des Energieverbrauchs, Pulsfrequenzmessung und/oder Messung der Körpertemperatur. So kann eine Überwachung und Optimierung des Trainings vorgenommen werden. In diesem Zusammenhang können auch Einrichtungen zur visuell wahrnehmbaren Anzeige und/oder zur Speicherung der ermittelten Ergebnisse vorhanden sein.Optionally, the coupling of the trimming device according to the invention is provided with means for measuring characteristics that characterize the training state of the body or the musculature, such as Seilauszugskraft- and training time measurement and their link to determine the energy consumption, pulse rate measurement and / or measurement of body temperature. Thus, a monitoring and optimization of training can be made. In this context, devices for the visually perceptible display and / or for storing the determined results may also be present.
In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform sind die Handgriffe des erfindungsgemäßen Trimmgerätes mit Bügeln zum Schutz der Handrücken gegen Stoßverletzungen versehen. Optional kann weiterhin mindestens einer der Handgriffe mit einer Lichtquelle ausgestattet sein, die vorzugsweise bei Dunkelheit zur Aussendung eines Lichtsignals und somit im Freien zur Verhinderung von Zusammenstößen mit entgegenkommenden Personen dient.In a further advantageous embodiment, the handles of the trimming device according to the invention are provided with brackets to protect the back of the hand against impact injuries. Optionally, at least one of the handles with a light source can continue be equipped, preferably in the dark to emit a light signal and thus in the open to prevent collisions with oncoming persons.
In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist erfindungsgemäß bei einem Trimmgerät der genannten Art der Abstand zwischen der Austrittsposition des Seiles aus dem Handgriff einerseits und dem Drehpunkt innerhalb des Handgelenkbereiches andererseits dadurch weiter reduziert, dass sich die Seilaustrittsöffnung nicht mehr unterhalb der Handkante befindet und auch nicht in geradliniger Verlängerung der Richtung angeordnet ist, in der das Seil von der Seiltrommel abgewickelt bzw. infolge einer Rückstellkraft wieder auf die Seiltrommel aufgewickelt wird, sondern die Seilaustrittsöffnung zu dieser Richtung seitlich versetzt positioniert ist.In a further advantageous embodiment, the distance between the exit position of the rope from the handle on the one hand and the pivot point within the wrist area on the other hand, according to the invention further reduced in a trimming device of the type mentioned that the cable outlet opening is no longer below the edge of the hand and not in rectilinear Extension of the direction is arranged, in which the cable is unwound from the cable drum or wound up as a result of a restoring force on the cable drum, but the cable outlet opening is positioned laterally offset to this direction.
Der Abstand zwischen der Austrittsposition des Seiles aus dem Handgriff und dem Handgelenkbereich konnte so nochmals reduziert und dadurch auch die von der Auszugskraft nachteiliger weise auf das Handgelenk ausgeübte Hebelwirkung weiter verringert werden.The distance between the exit position of the rope from the handle and the wrist area could be further reduced and thus the disadvantage of the pull-out force on the wrist leverage effect can be further reduced.
Der seitliche Versatz wird durch Umlenkung der Seilführungsrichtung mittels Rollen oder Gleitstücken erzielt.The lateral offset is achieved by deflection of the cable guide direction by means of rollers or sliders.
