Definitions

  • the invention relates generally to an exercise apparatus and more particularly to an apparatus constructed for use primarily in the conditioning and strengthening of the user's muscles.
  • the apparatus is adapted for ease or storage and/or portability.
  • the RIates Method is an exercise system focused on improving flexibility and strength for the body without building muscle bulk.
  • the Method emphasises the balanced development of the band of muscles that circle the bodyjust below the belt line, including the abdominals, lower back, hips and buttocks.
  • Apparatus used in the RIates Method are generally large, complex and costly machines which occupy a substantial amount of space, and consequently are not suitable for home use. These are usually found only in gymnasiums, studios and clinics. Devices specifically designed for home use, while somewhat smaller, usually must be permanently erected in a room or location specifically set aside for exercising. Many homes do not have sufficient space for this purpose.
  • Rlates reformer A particularly effective Rlates machine is known as the " Rlates reformer", which is a large device having a bed-like frame.
  • the frame supports a flat platform (called the carriage), which rolls back and forth on wheels within the frame.
  • the carriage is attached to one end of the reformer by a set of springs
  • the springs provide choices of differing levels of resistance as the carriage is pushed or pulled along the frame.
  • the carriage includes shoulder blocks to prevent a user from sliding off the end of the reformer as they push or pull the carriage.
  • the footbar can be used by the feet or hands as a user moves the carriage.
  • the reformer also has long straps with handles that are attached to the top end of the frame which can be pulled with legs or arms to move the carriage. Varying body weight and resistance of the springs make the carriage more or less difficult to move. Reformers parts are adjustable for differing body sizes and for differing levels of skill.
  • reformers of the prior art are large, cumbersome, heavy and difficult to transport. Attempts to produce reformers for home use have lead to devices that are difficult to fold and unfold, break easily, are not easy to transporting, have complex folding mechanisms, et cetera.
  • the present invention provides an exercise apparatus comprising a main frame, a carriage movable relative to the main frame, a user engagement member, and an arm, the user engagement member linked to the arm, the arm in turn linked to the main frame, wherein the linkage between the arm and the main frame is adapted or configured such that the user engagement member is capable of being moved from an operable position to astorable position.
  • user engagement member is intended to include any substantially rigid member adapted or configured to be engaged by the user in the course of an exercise. The member may be for the purpose of stabilising the user's position on the apparatus, or to provide a surface for pushing against in the course of a resistance-based exercise.
  • operable position is intended to include any position that the user engagement member can assume in which the user can undertake an exercise for which the apparatus isdesigned. Typically, this will include a position whereby the member allows afoot to engage and press against it when the user is on the carriage.
  • storable position is intended to include any position that the user engagement position can assume in which the apparatus has a smaller dimension as compared with that when the member is in the operable position. Typically, this will include a position whereby the member lies substantially flat against the frame or carriage of the apparatus
  • an exercise apparatus having a user engagement member (such as a footbar) that is alternatively configurable between an operable and a storable position in the manner described and claimed herein overcomes or ameliorates one or more problems of the prior art, or provides an alternative to existing devices
  • the user engagement member is an important component of many types of exercise apparatus, and is generally required to possess significant strength given that user may apply daunting pressure.
  • the member is also often required to assume a position that is above or below the general plane of the apparatus to facilitate certain exercises. These requirements are generally adverse to the design of an exercise apparatus that is robust and portable. Providing the user engagement member at or toward the terminus of an arm that is connected to the main frame is a solution that accommodates all requirements.
  • the member may be of any dimensions suited to the particular type of exercise apparatus under consideration. Generally, the member is substantially elongate and is of sufficient length to accommodate one or two feet of a user, or one or two hands (when placed side by side).
  • the member may be fabricated from any suitable material including metals (such as tubular steel). However, for reasons of weight minimisation the member may be fabricated from a metal such as aluminium.
  • the member may alternatively be fabricated from a non- metal such as a high density plastic or carbon fibre.
  • the user engagement member is covered with a cushioning material suitable for enhancing user comfort.
  • the arm is linked directly to the main frame of the apparatus, however it will be understood that other embodiments may provide that the arm is linked to the main frame via some other intermediate structure such as a spacer element. Similar considerations apply to the link between the arm and the user engagement member.
  • the linkage between the arm and the main frame may be of any type capable of allowing or facilitating the movement of the member between the operable position and the storable position.
  • the linkage may be a hinged linkage or a pivotal linkage .
  • the linkage between the arm and the main frame comprises a simple pin connecting the arm and the main frame, with the arm capable of pivoting about the pin, with a single degree of freedom.
  • the linkage between the arm and the main frame may comprise means for limiting the distance by which the arm may travel.
  • the user engagement member when in the operable position
  • T position may be related to the size of the user and/or the exercise under consideration.
  • the means for limiting the distance may be a stop that engages a fixed structure of the apparatus (such as the main frame) when the user engagement member is in the predetermined position.
  • the means may allow for one of a number of predetermined distances to be selected by the user, and may comprise a locking mechanism.
  • the locking mechanism may be a simple pin that is inserted through the arm and into an aperture bored into an immovable component of the apparatus, such as the main frame.
  • the locking mechanism may rely on the frictional engagement of the arm with an immovable component such asthe main frame.
  • the linkage between the arm and the user engagement member is typically of a type allowing for rotation of the member about its' own long axis. This allows for the user to maintain full engagement with the member through the full motion of an exercise.
  • the linkage is a simple pin providing for a single degree of freedom.
  • the apparatus comprises two arms, with each arm linked to a terminus of the user engagement member.
  • This embodiment requires two linkages between the main frame and the arm; and also two further linkages between the arm and the user engagement member.
  • This arrangement is particularly stable, allowing for support to the user engagement member at both termini.
  • the connection may be made by way of a simple pin, whereby the arm and main frame are rotatable in a single axis about the pin, and having a single degree of freedom.
  • the apparatus may comprise means for retaining the user engagement member in the storable position, this facilitating storage and/or portability.
  • the means for retaining may be disposed on, or involve, one or more of the arm, user engagement member, main frame, carriage or any linkage of the apparatus.
  • an elasticised element may be provided, the element capable of engagement with the arm and the main frame.
  • the arm is fitted with awheel or a roller.
  • the transport of the apparatus to the place of storage may still a problem.
  • the exercise apparatus may be loaned or hired from a clinic, gymnasium or studio. In that case, it will need to be transported to the user's car, and then from the car to the house.
  • the wheel or roller is disposed on or about the arm such that when the user engagement member is in the operable position the wheel or roller is incapable of engaging with the floor, but when in the storable position is capable of engaging with the floor to allow rolling of the apparatus.
  • the wheel or roller may be disposed on or about the arm in any way to achieve the result described supra.
  • the wheel or roller is disposed on the arm at the terminus opposite that having the user engagement means. In this way, the position of the user engagement means dictates the position of the wheel or roller.
  • the arm is linked to the main frame with a simple pivot linkage (such as a pin), whereby the arm pivots about a linkage point with a single degree of freedom.
  • the arm comprises a bend and exhibits two main axes: the first axis described by a line running from the terminus having the user engagement means through the linkage point with the main frame, the second axis desaibed by a line running from the terminus having the wheel or roller through the linkage point with the main frame.
  • these axes describe an obtuse angle.
  • the acute angle is from about 122 degrees to about 162 degrees, preferably from about 127 degrees to about 157 degrees, preferably from about 132 degrees to about 152 degrees, preferably from about 137 degrees to about 147 degrees. In a highly preferred form of the apparatus the acute angle is about 142 degrees.
  • the distance between the terminus of the arm having the user engagement means and the linkage point with the main frame is about 46 cm.
  • the distance between the terminus of the arm having the wheel or roller and the linkage point with the main frame is about 1 1 cm.
  • the ratio of the distance between the terminus of the arm having the user engagement means and the linkage point with the main frame, and the distance between the terminus of the arm having the wheel or roller and the linkage point with the main frame is between about 3 and 5.
  • the ratio isabout 4.2.
  • the measurements and ratios included herein are relevant to an exercise apparatus having a main frame of length about 187cm, a carriage at about 12cm above the floor, and a user engagement member (when in the operable position) at a height of 36cm above the carriage. It will be appreciated that the angles and measurements relevant to the arm (as disclosed in the above paragraph) may be altered by routine means in order to achieve the advantages disclosed herein for an apparatus of different overall size. For example, where the carriage is at a greater height above the floor, the length between the pivot point and the terminus of the arm having the wheel or roller may be longer. Alternatively, the angle made by the first and second axes may be larger.
  • the arm further comprises means for limiting movement of the carriage. It is desirable to limit the movement of the carriage past a certain point on the carriage track to prevent damage to the main frame or any other structure of the apparatus. It is also desirable to do so for the purpose of restricting the range of movement achievable by the user in the course of exercise.
  • the means for limiting movement of the carriage comprises a stopping member extending outwardly from the arm.
  • the stopping member is adapted or configured such that when the user engagement member is in the operable position, the stopping member is positioned so as to be able to prevent movement of the carriage beyond a predetermined point.
  • the arm provides for three functions (moving the user engagement means from an operable to a storable state, able to be wheeled, and used to stop the carriage).
  • the stopping member is adapted or configured such that when the apparatus is in the storable position, the stopping member ceases to prevent movement of the carriage. Accordingly, the carriage may be moved into a position further along the track allowing for a more compact apparatus overall.
  • the user engagement means is in the storable position (and the stopping member ceases to prevent movement of the carriage)
  • a further advantage is provided in that the carriage is permitted to move into a lockable position.
  • the adoption of a lockable position minimises movement of the carriage while in the storable position, thereby facilitating transport of the apparatus
  • the arm may be fabricated from any suitable material, but is preferably aluminium. The arm may have cut outsto minimise weight.
  • the present invention provides an exercise apparatus comprising a main frame, a carriage movable relative to the main frame, a shoulder retaining means, the shoulder retaining means linked to the carriage, wherein the linkage is adapted or configured such that the shoulder retaining means is capable of moving from an operable position to a storable position.
  • Applicant provides a further manner in which the size of an exercise apparatus may be decreased for storage or portability.
  • Shoulder retaining means are a present on a number of exercise machines (either alone or in combination with user engagement means), with these features contributing to the overall external dimensions of the apparatus.
  • shoulder retaining means is intended to include any physical barrier that is capable of engaging a shoulder of a user lying on the carriage, the engagement preventing movement of the user across the surface of the carriage during exercise. Such means are essential for certain exercises given that a user may be exerting a force that leads to a movement across the carriage surface. For example, where the user may be exerting pressure on a footbar (against a resistance force provided by the apparatus) and there will be a natural tendency for the user to slide across the surface of the carriage, and toward the upper edge of the carriage. The disposition of a pad (or indeed two pads, one for each shoulder) extending from the carriage prevents this lateral movement and keeps the user substantially immobile on the carriage. Applicant proposes a linkage mechanism by which these retaining means may be moved from an operable position to a storable position.
  • the linkage comprises means for allowing the shoulder retaining means to be erected substantially vertically from a storable position, means for allowing rotation of the shoulder retaining means once erected, means for lowering the rotated shoulder retaining means into an operable position, and a peg extending from the carriage for securing the lowered shoulder retaining means in position.
  • the ability to erect the shoulder retaining means from the folded position is provided for by a hinge pin disposed toward the base of the means.
  • the rotation and insertion is allowed by use of a sliding means, sliding and rotating within an internal fixed collar. Removal of the shoulder retaining means is prevented by the flared terminus of the sliding means.
  • the shoulder retaining means comprises padding.
  • the padding isflat on one side, to allow for a lower profile when in the storable position.
  • the present invention provides an exercise apparatus comprising a main frame, a carriage movable relative to the main frame, a user engagement member, and an arm, the user engagement member linked to the arm, the arm in turn linked to the main frame, a shoulder retaining means, the shoulder retaining means linked to the carriage, wherein the linkage between the arm and the main frame is adapted or configured such that the user engagement member is capable of being moved from an operable position to a storable position, and wherein the linkage between the shoulder retaining means is adapted or configured such that the shoulder retaining means is capable of moving from an operable position to a storable position.
  • RIates reformer is an important facet of the RIates method.
  • the benefits of the Rlate reformer are well acknowledged, but an ongoing problem is the cumbersome nature of the apparatus.
  • the present invention provides for a foldable and portable RIates reformer which overcomes or ameliorates the significant shortcomings in terms of portability and size.
  • the inventive reformer machine disclosed herein provides for the use of this important machine outside clinics, gymnasia and studios.
