Ces exercices peuvent être du type « exercice d'isolation », permettant d'isoler des groupes musculaires, ou être du type « exercice polyarticulaire », permettant de faire travailler en même temps ou de manière séquentielle toute une chaîne musculaire. Comme exemple d'exercice polyarticulaire, on retrouve les tractions qui permettent de développer les muscles du dos et des bras.Physical training aims to improve a person's physical performance. Traditionally, for the practice of bodybuilding, weight machines have been developed to allow a person to perform specific exercises. These exercises can be of the type "isolation exercise", to isolate muscle groups, or be of the "polyarticular exercise" type, allowing to work at the same time or sequentially a whole muscle chain. As an example of polyarticular exercise, there are tractions that can develop the muscles of the back and arms.

Ainsi, pour la pratique de la musculation et dans l'optique d'un travail global et harmonieux de l'ensemble des groupes musculaires, il est nécessaire de diversifier les entraînements et de réaliser des exercices différents.Thus, for the practice of bodybuilding and in view of a global and harmonious work of all muscle groups, it is necessary to diversify the training and perform different exercises.

Pour réaliser de tels entraînements, l'art antérieur propose divers appareils qui permettent de réaliser un ou plusieurs exercices. Ces appareils ont pour inconvénient de nécessiter un espace spacieux du fait de la multiplication du nombre d'appareil dédiés à des exercices.To achieve such training, the prior art offers various devices that can perform one or more exercises. These devices have the disadvantage of requiring a spacious space because of the multiplication of the number of devices dedicated to exercises.

Pour répondre à ce problème, des appareils complets et polyvalents ont été conçus, rassemblant en un seul appareil la majorité des exercices de musculation permis par les appareils de musculation les plus courants.To answer this problem, complete and versatile devices have been designed, bringing together in one device the majority of bodybuilding exercises allowed by the most common bodybuilding equipment.

Ce type d'appareil nécessite néanmoins un espace important, dédié à son utilisation. Même si des éléments peuvent être montés mobile dessus pour pouvoir être repliés ou rangés, ce type d'appareil présente généralement comme inconvénient de monopoliser l'espace où il est installé après son utilisation.This type of device nevertheless requires a large space, dedicated to its use. Even if elements can be mounted movably above to be folded or stored, this type of device generally has the disadvantage of monopolizing the space where it is installed after use.

Les appareils de musculation proposant une grande variété d'exercices peuvent être vendus en magasins sous une forme démontée et rangée dans des cartons de transport. En raison du poids important de ces appareils, ceux-ci sont conditionnés en plusieurs cartons de transports, qui restent cependant chacun relativement lourds et pénibles à transporter. De plus, ces appareils présentent notamment des structures tubulaires vissées qui ne sont pas conçues pour être démontées une fois assemblés et qui ne sont pas aisément déplaçables du fait de leur poids important.Weight machines with a wide variety of exercises can be sold in stores in disassembled form and stored in transport cartons. Because of the weight of these devices, they are packaged in several boxes of transport, which however each remain relatively heavy and difficult to carry. In addition, these devices include screwed tubular structures that are not designed to be disassembled once assembled and are not easily moved because of their weight.

On connaît aussi les appareils de musculation destinés au grand public et destinés à être utilisés à domicile. Ils sont parfois conçus pour être repliables pour faciliter leur rangement. Cependant, pas ou peu d'appareils de ce type ne concilient polyvalence d'exercice et encombrement réduit.We also know the weight machines for the general public and intended to be used at home. They are sometimes designed to be foldable for easy storage. However, no or few devices of this type do not reconcile exercise versatility and reduced size.

De plus, le développement du coaching personnel à domicile entraîne un besoin d'équipements de ce type pouvant concilier polyvalence d'exercices, encombrement réduit mais aussi pouvant être transportés, mis en place et rangés, aisément et rapidement.In addition, the development of personal coaching at home entails a need for equipment of this type that can combine exercise versatility, reduced size but also can be transported, set up and stored, easily and quickly.

Plusieurs bancs d'exercice ont été proposés par l'art antérieur, et notamment par les documents de brevet publiés sous les numéros US2013/324383 , US2008/161162 , US-5 961 430 , US-7 488 277 , US2011/190103 , US2004/124680 et CN-202 161 737 . Toutefois, ces solutions ne répondent pas aux attentes citées précédemment.Several exercise benches have been proposed by the prior art, and in particular by the patent documents published under the numbers US2013 / 324383 , US2008 / 161162 , US-5,961,430 , US-7,488,277 , US2011 / 190103 , US2004 / 124680 and CN-202 161 737 . However, these solutions do not meet the expectations mentioned above.

L'invention a notamment pour objectif de pallier ces inconvénients de l'art antérieur.The invention particularly aims to overcome these disadvantages of the prior art.

Plus précisément, l'invention a pour objectif de proposer un appareil de musculation permettant une large variété d'exercices.More specifically, the invention aims to provide a weight training device for a wide variety of exercises.

L'invention a également pour objectif de proposer un tel appareil dont l'encombrement est faible et la transportabilité aisée.The invention also aims to provide such a device whose footprint is low and easy transportability.

L'invention a encore pour objectif de proposer un tel appareil dont les opérations de mise en place et de rangement sont simples à réaliser.The invention also aims to provide such a device whose implementation and storage operations are simple to perform.

Ces objectifs, ainsi que d'autres qui apparaîtront par la suite, sont atteints grâce à l'invention qui a pour objet un appareil de musculation destiné à présenter des accessoires de musculation comme définit dans la revendication 1. L'appareil de musculation présentant une partie de base comportant un pan central et deux pans latéraux de part et d'autre du pan central, les deux pans latéraux étant montés pivotants par rapport au pan central, de façon que :

  • l'appareil est convertible entre au moins une position d'utilisation et une position de rangement ;
  • dans une position d'utilisation, les pans latéraux sont dépliés en côté du pan central pour former une structure autoportante ;
  • dans la position de rangement les pans latéraux sont repliés en regard du pan central ;
  • la partie de base comporte un élément de verrouillage de la position des pans latéraux par rapport au pan central dans la position d'utilisation de l'appareil pour sécuriser la structure autoportante.
These objectives, as well as others which will appear later, are achieved by means of the invention, which relates to a weight training device intended to present weight training accessories as defined in claim 1. The apparatus for weight training having a base portion having a central panel and two side panels on either side of the central panel, the two side panels being pivotally mounted relative to the central panel, so that:
  • the apparatus is convertible between at least one use position and a storage position;
  • in a position of use, the side panels are unfolded on the side of the central panel to form a self-supporting structure;
  • in the storage position the side panels are folded facing the central panel;
  • the base portion comprises a locking element of the position of the side panels with respect to the central panel in the position of use of the apparatus for securing the self-supporting structure.

Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, l'appareil de musculation selon l'invention est du type appareil de musculation au poids du corps.According to a particular embodiment, the weight training device according to the invention is of the body weight training apparatus type.

L'appareil de musculation selon l'invention permet ainsi de concilier une large variété d'exercices (par exemple, du type traction, répulsion aux barres (ou « dips »), etc.), un encombrement réduit et une transportabilité aisée de l'appareil en position de rangement.The weight training device according to the invention thus makes it possible to reconcile a wide variety of exercises (for example, of the type of traction, bar repulsion (or "dips"), etc.), a small footprint and easy transportability of the body. device in storage position.

En effet, tel que cela va être expliqué plus en détail par la suite, l'appareil de musculation dispose d'au moins deux positions lui permettant d'être particulièrement adapté à une utilisation dans un cadre domestique, en particulier dans un logement où un espace dédié à la musculation n'existe pas.Indeed, as will be explained in more detail later, the weight machine has at least two positions allowing it to be particularly suitable for use in a domestic setting, especially in a housing where a space dedicated to bodybuilding does not exist.

Un tel appareil selon l'invention présente des caractéristiques particulièrement avantageuses pour la pratique de la musculation dans des espaces collectifs. En effet, cet appareil peut par exemple être utilisé pour des cours collectifs lors de la réalisation de différents exercices puis rapidement converti dans sa position de rangement par les participants aux cours pour libérer la salle d'exercice.Such an apparatus according to the invention has particularly advantageous characteristics for the practice of bodybuilding in collective spaces. Indeed, this device can for example be used for group lessons when performing different exercises and then quickly converted to its storage position by course participants to free the exercise room.

Par « pan central » on entend un élément plein ou ajouré positionné de manière centrale dans la partie de base. Tel qu'illustré par le mode de réalisation préférentiel décris ci-après, le pan central est formé, par exemple et non exclusivement, par une ossature métallique. Le pan central peut aussi comprendre un ou plusieurs panneaux assemblés ensembles tout en restant dans le cadre de l'invention.By "central panel" is meant a solid or perforated element positioned centrally in the base part. As illustrated by the mode of preferred embodiment described below, the central panel is formed, for example and not exclusively, by a metal frame. The central panel may also include one or more panels assembled together while remaining within the scope of the invention.

Par « pans latéraux » on entend notamment, par exemple et par analogie au pan central, une ossature métallique, un châssis ou encore un ou plusieurs panneaux assemblés ensembles.By "side panels" is meant in particular, for example and by analogy to the central panel, a metal frame, a frame or one or more panels assembled together.

Par ailleurs, un appareil de musculation selon l'invention permet, en position d'utilisation, de disposer de multiples accessoires de musculation situés à des hauteurs différentes. Ces accessoires de musculation peuvent être des points d'appuis stables (barres, poignées, reposes-coudes, etc.) ou des éléments de préhension instables (corde, élastique, etc.). Par exemple, l'élément de verrouillage peut constituer un accessoire de musculation en fournissant des points d'appuis stables.Furthermore, a weight training device according to the invention allows, in the use position, to have multiple bodybuilding accessories located at different heights. These bodybuilding accessories can be stable support points (bars, handles, elbow rests, etc.) or unstable gripping elements (rope, elastic, etc.). For example, the locking member can be a weight-training accessory by providing stable support points.

Ainsi, grâce à l'appareil selon l'invention en position d'utilisation, une large variété d'exercices peut être réalisée. De plus, quand l'appareil est dans sa position de rangement, l'ensemble de ses éléments sont repliés les uns sur les autres et l'appareil présente ainsi un encombrement particulièrement réduit et est aisément transportable.Thus, thanks to the apparatus according to the invention in use position, a wide variety of exercises can be performed. In addition, when the device is in its storage position, all of its elements are folded over each other and the device thus has a particularly small footprint and is easily transportable.

L'élément de verrouillage permet d'éviter des changements de position des pans latéraux vis-à-vis du pan central quand un utilisateur de l'appareil est en cours de réalisation d'un exercice de musculation.The locking member avoids changes in position of the side panels vis-à-vis the central panel when a user of the device is undergoing a weight training exercise.

Cet élément de verrouillage sécurise aussi la partie de base dans sa position autoportante. Selon l'invention, l'appareil de musculation présente une partie supérieure, et :

  • dans une position d'utilisation, la partie supérieure est située au-dessus de la partie de base ;
  • dans la position de rangement, la partie supérieure et la partie de base de l'appareil sont amenées et maintenues en regard l'une de l'autre.
This locking element also secures the base portion in its self-supporting position. According to the invention, the weight training device has an upper part, and:
  • in a position of use, the upper part is situated above the base part;
  • in the storage position, the upper part and the base part of the apparatus are brought and held opposite one another.

Par l'expression « amenées et maintenues en regard l'une de l'autre », on entend que la partie de base et la partie supérieure sont disposées face à face au voisinage immédiat l'une de l'autre, ou que l'une des parties est disposée contre l'autre partie et que les parties sont retenues en position, ou encore qu'une des parties est insérée et retenue en position à l'intérieur de l'autre partie.By the expression "brought and kept facing each other" is meant that the base part and the upper part are arranged facing each other in the immediate vicinity of one another, or that the one of the parts is disposed against the other part and the parts are held in position, or one of the parts is inserted and held in position within the other part.

Cette partie supérieure permet d'augmenter le nombre d'exercices réalisables au moyen de l'appareil de musculation selon l'invention tout en n'augmentant pas ou peu l'encombrement de l'appareil de musculation dans sa position de rangement.This upper part makes it possible to increase the number of exercises that can be performed by means of the weight training device according to the invention while not increasing the amount of space occupied by the weight training device in its storage position.

Selon une solution avantageuse, l'élément de verrouillage comporte deux branches mobiles par rapport au pan central selon les positions de l'appareil, les branches :

  • étant parallèles et contiguës (ou quasiment) au pan central dans la position de rangement de l'appareil ;
  • s'étendant écartées du pan central en direction des pans latéraux dans une position d'utilisation de l'appareil.
According to an advantageous solution, the locking element comprises two movable branches relative to the central pan according to the positions of the apparatus, the branches:
  • being parallel and contiguous (or almost) to the central pan in the storage position of the apparatus;
  • extending away from the central panel towards the side panels in a position of use of the apparatus.

Selon un mode de réalisation préférentiel, l'élément de verrouillage prend la forme d'un U mobile par rapport au pan central selon une liaison pivot.According to a preferred embodiment, the locking element takes the form of a mobile U relative to the central panel in a pivot connection.

L'élément de verrouillage ainsi réalisé permet de sécuriser la position des pans latéraux par rapport au pan central tout en étant adapté à l'appareil de façon à occuper le moins de place possible en position de rangement de l'appareil. Un tel élément de verrouillage a aussi pour avantage de présenter un poids réduit, permettant à l'appareil d'être plus aisément transportable.The locking element thus produced makes it possible to secure the position of the side panels with respect to the central panel while being adapted to the apparatus so as to occupy as little space as possible in the storage position of the apparatus. Such a locking element also has the advantage of having a reduced weight, allowing the device to be more easily transportable.

Les branches du U peuvent être divergentes l'une de l'autre. De cette manière, l'écartement entre les branches est variable le long de ces branches et permet à un utilisateur de trouver le positionnement qui lui permet de réaliser un exercice de la manière la plus appropriée à sa morphologie quand ledit élément de verrouillage est utilisé comme un accessoire de musculation.The branches of the U may be divergent from each other. In this way, the spacing between the branches is variable along these branches and allows a user to find the positioning that allows him to perform an exercise in the most appropriate way to his morphology when said locking element is used as a bodybuilding accessory.

Selon une caractéristique avantageuse, la partie supérieure comporte un pan central et deux pans latéraux montés pivotants par rapport au pan central, les pans latéraux de la partie supérieure étant dépliés en côté du pan central de la partie supérieure pour former une structure autoportante dans une position d'utilisation de l'appareil.According to an advantageous characteristic, the upper part comprises a central panel and two lateral panels pivotally mounted relative to the central panel, the side panels of the upper part being unfolded on the side of the central panel of the upper part to form a self-supporting structure in a position of use of the device.

La partie supérieure ainsi conçue présente l'avantage, en étant elle-même autoportante, de conférer à l'appareil de musculation d'autres positions d'utilisation permettant ainsi d'augmenter la variété d'exercices de musculation réalisables au moyen de l'invention.The upper part thus designed has the advantage, being itself self-supporting, to give the weight machine other positions of use thus increasing the variety of weight training exercises achievable by means of the invention.

Par exemple, pour un exercice particulier, il est possible de dissocier la partie supérieure de la partie de base de manière à fournir des points d'appuis surélevés à la fois pour le haut du corps mais aussi pour le bas du corps.For example, for a particular exercise, it is possible to dissociate the upper portion of the base portion to provide raised support points for both the upper body but also for the lower body.

Avantageusement, dans une position d'utilisation, les pans latéraux de la partie supérieure et de la partie de base présentent des moyens d'assemblage pour être solidarisés entre eux pour former une structure autoportante unique.Advantageously, in a position of use, the side panels of the upper part and the base part have assembly means to be joined together to form a single self-supporting structure.

La structure autoportante unique permet de réaliser des exercices nécessitant, par exemple, des points d'appuis situés en hauteur dont la stabilité est renforcée. En effet, l'appareil de musculation selon l'invention ainsi réalisé présente une stabilité accrue.The unique freestanding structure allows for exercises requiring, for example, points of support located in height whose stability is enhanced. Indeed, the bodybuilding apparatus according to the invention thus produced has increased stability.

Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux, l'élément de verrouillage est situé au voisinage de l'extrémité supérieure du pan central de la partie de base et il forme les moyens d'assemblage des pans latéraux de la partie supérieure et de la partie de base de l'appareil en position d'utilisation.According to an advantageous embodiment, the locking element is situated in the vicinity of the upper end of the central panel of the base part and forms the assembly means of the side panels of the upper part and of the base part. of the device in the position of use.

En combinant l'élément de verrouillage et les moyens d'assemblage, le poids total de la structure est diminué ainsi que son encombrement permettant ainsi d'améliorer sa transportabilité en position de rangement.By combining the locking element and the assembly means, the total weight of the structure is reduced as well as its size thus making it possible to improve its transportability in the storage position.

Préférentiellement, les pans latéraux comportent une pluralité de paires de trous positionnés en correspondance sur chaque pan latéral pour recevoir une barre de traction dans une position sensiblement horizontale.Preferably, the side panels comprise a plurality of pairs of holes positioned in correspondence on each side panel to receive a pull bar in a substantially horizontal position.

L'invention ainsi constituée permet d'augmenter le nombre d'exercices de musculation réalisables.The invention thus constituted makes it possible to increase the number of workout exercises that can be performed.

Selon une caractéristique avantageuse, le pan central de la partie de base et/ou le pan central de la partie supérieure et/ou l'élément de verrouillage ont une structure tubulaire.According to an advantageous characteristic, the central part of the base part and / or the central part of the upper part and / or the locking element have a tubular structure.

Suivant cette caractéristique et tel qu'expliqué précédemment, l'appareil de musculation en position de rangement est plus aisément transportable, notamment grâce à une diminution globale du poids de l'appareil et grâce à une diminution de son encombrement.According to this characteristic and as explained above, the weight training device in the storage position is more easily transportable, in particular by reducing the overall weight of the device and by reducing its size.

Selon une caractéristique préférentielle, les pans latéraux de la partie de base et/ou de la partie supérieure comportent des échancrures destinées à permettre le passage des bras d'un utilisateur quand ce dernier cherche à réaliser des exercices nécessitant une prise large.According to a preferred feature, the side panels of the base portion and / or the upper portion have notches intended to allow the passage of a user's arms when the latter seeks to perform exercises requiring a wide grip.

De plus, en combinaison avec la position des accessoires de musculation (barres, trous, etc.), ces échancrures permettent d'optimiser la répartition des contraintes s'exerçant sur la structure de l'appareil de musculation lors de la réalisation des exercices par un utilisateur. Cette optimisation des contraintes se traduit en particulier par une limitation des forces s'exerçant sur les pans centraux, ce qui permet en particulier d'alléger la structure de l'appareil de musculation et de le rendre plus aisément transportable en position de rangement.In addition, in combination with the position of the bodybuilding accessories (bars, holes, etc.), these indentations make it possible to optimize the distribution of the stresses exerted on the structure of the bodybuilding apparatus during the execution of the exercises by an user. This optimization of the stresses is reflected in particular by a limitation of the forces exerted on the central sections, which in particular makes it possible to lighten the structure of the weight training apparatus and to make it more easily transportable in the storage position.

Selon une autre caractéristique avantageuse, l'appareil de musculation comporte un tapis qui est amené et maintenu en regard de la partie de base ou de la partie supérieure de l'appareil en position de rangement, le tapis étant destiné à être disposé devant le pan central et entre les pans latéraux de la partie de base de l'appareil en position d'utilisation.According to another advantageous characteristic, the weight training apparatus comprises a belt which is brought and held facing the base part or the upper part of the apparatus in the storage position, the belt being intended to be arranged in front of the body. central and between the side panels of the base part of the device in the position of use.

L'intégration d'un tel tapis à un appareil de musculation convertible permet d'offrir un système global attractif pour un utilisateur qui n'aura notamment pas besoin d'acheter et de stocker un autre tapis d'exercice.The integration of such a mat to a convertible weight training device makes it possible to offer an overall attractive system for a user who will not need, in particular, to buy and store another exercise mat.

De plus, un tel tapis peut aider à contenir les éléments de l'appareil de musculation dans leur position quand ledit appareil est en position de rangement. En particulier, le tapis peut permettre de maintenir la ou les barres de traction contenues à l'intérieur de l'appareil.In addition, such a mat can help contain the elements of the weight machine in their position when said apparatus is in a position of storage. In particular, the mat can make it possible to maintain the drawbar or bars contained inside the apparatus.

Enfin, le tapis peut permettre d'améliorer l'apparence globale de l'appareil de musculation en position de rangement en occultant, au moins sur une face, les différents éléments rangés qui composent l'appareil.Finally, the carpet can improve the overall appearance of the weight training device in storage position by obscuring, at least on one side, the various stored elements that make up the device.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront plus clairement à la lecture de la description suivante d'un mode de réalisation préférentiel de l'invention, donné à titre d'exemple illustratif et non limitatif, et des dessins annexés parmi lesquels :

  • les figure 1 et 2 sont des représentations schématiques de l'appareil de musculation selon l'invention, respectivement dans une position d'utilisation et dans la position de rangement ;
  • les figures 3 et 4 sont des représentations schématiques de l'appareil de musculation de l'appareil de musculation dans une position d'utilisation selon respectivement une vue latéral et une vue de face ;
  • la figure 5 est une représentation schématique d'une position d'utilisation possible de l'appareil de musculation selon l'invention ;
  • la figure 6 est une représentation schématique de la partie de base de l'appareil de musculation selon l'invention, avec le tapis amené et maintenu en regard de la partie de base.
Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will emerge more clearly on reading the following description of a preferred embodiment of the invention, given by way of illustrative and nonlimiting example, and the appended drawings among which:
  • the figure 1 and 2 are schematic representations of the weight training apparatus according to the invention, respectively in a position of use and in the storage position;
  • the Figures 3 and 4 are schematic representations of the weight training apparatus of the weight training apparatus in a use position according to a side view and a front view, respectively;
  • the figure 5 is a schematic representation of a position of possible use of the weight training apparatus according to the invention;
  • the figure 6 is a schematic representation of the base portion of the weight training apparatus according to the invention, with the belt brought and maintained facing the base part.

Tel que représenté sur les figures 1 et 2, l'appareil de musculation 1 selon l'invention est convertible entre au moins une position d'utilisation (figure 1) et une position de rangement (figure 2).As shown on the Figures 1 and 2 , the weight training device 1 according to the invention is convertible between at least one position of use ( figure 1 ) and a storage position ( figure 2 ).

En référence aux figures 1, 3, 4, 5 et 6, l'appareil de musculation 1 présente une partie de base 3.With reference to figures 1 , 3 , 4 , 5 and 6 , the weight training device 1 has a base portion 3.

Selon les figures 1, 3, 4, 5 et 6, la partie de base comporte un pan central 30 et deux pans latéraux 31 de part et d'autre du pan central. Les deux pans latéraux de la partie de base sont montés pivotants par rapport au pan central de manière à ce qu'ils puissent passer d'une position dépliée en côté du pan central (figures 1, 3, 4, 5 et 6) à une position repliée en regard du pan central (figure 2). La liaison entre pan central et pan latéral est obtenue au moyen de charnières inférieures 300.According to figures 1 , 3 , 4 , 5 and 6 , the base portion comprises a central panel 30 and two side panels 31 on either side of the central panel. The two side panels of the base portion are pivotally mounted relative to the central panel so that they can move from an unfolded position to the side of the central panel ( figures 1 , 3 , 4 , 5 and 6 ) to a collapsed position from the central panel ( figure 2 ). The connection between central panel and side panel is obtained by means of lower hinges 300.

Ainsi, l'appareil est convertible entre une position d'utilisation de l'appareil, dans laquelle les pans latéraux sont dépliés en côté du pan central et forment une structure autoportante, et une position de rangement dans laquelle les pans latéraux sont repliés en regard du pan central.Thus, the apparatus is convertible between a position of use of the apparatus, in which the side panels are unfolded at the side of the central panel and form a self-supporting structure, and a storage position in which the side panels are folded facing from the central pan.

Selon les figures 1, 3 et 4, l'appareil de musculation 1 présente aussi une partie supérieure 2. Selon ce mode de réalisation, dans la position de rangement de l'appareil, la partie supérieure et la partie de base sont amenées et maintenues en regard l'une de l'autre.According to figures 1 , 3 and 4 the bodybuilding apparatus 1 also has an upper part 2. According to this embodiment, in the storage position of the apparatus, the upper part and the base part are brought and held facing one of the other.

Par exemple et tel qu'illustré par la figure 2, dans la position de rangement la partie supérieure et la partie de base sont positionnées de manière parallèle et adjacente l'une à l'autre (face à face) de façon à minimiser l'encombrement de l'appareil.For example and as illustrated by the figure 2 in the storage position the upper part and the base part are positioned parallel and adjacent to each other (face to face) so as to minimize the size of the apparatus.

Tel que cela apparaît sur les figures 1, 3, 4, 5 et 6, la partie de base comporte un élément de verrouillage 4 de la position des pans latéraux par rapport au pan central dans la position d'utilisation de l'appareil. Cet élément de verrouillage 4 permet ainsi de sécuriser la structure autoportante dans une position d'utilisation.As it appears on the figures 1 , 3 , 4 , 5 and 6 , the base portion comprises a locking element 4 of the position of the side panels relative to the central panel in the position of use of the device. This locking element 4 thus makes it possible to secure the self-supporting structure in a position of use.

Suivant le mode de réalisation préférentiel illustré par les dessins, l'élément de verrouillage 4 comporte deux branches 40 mobiles par rapport au pan central selon les positions de l'appareil.According to the preferred embodiment illustrated by the drawings, the locking element 4 comprises two branches 40 movable relative to the central panel according to the positions of the device.

En effet, les branches sont essentiellement parallèles et contiguës au pan central de la partie de base dans la position de rangement de l'appareil (figure 2). Dans la position d'utilisation de l'appareil, les branches 40 s'étendent écartées du pan central en direction des pans latéraux (figures 1, 3, 5 et 6). Ces branches peuvent former des accessoires de musculation de type barres parallèles. Avantageusement, ces branches sont légèrement divergentes pour fournir à l'utilisateur, tel qu'expliqué précédemment, un écartement variable d'une extrémité à l'autre des branches.Indeed, the branches are essentially parallel and contiguous to the central part of the base part in the storage position of the device ( figure 2 ). In the position of use of the apparatus, the branches 40 extend apart from the central panel towards the side panels ( figures 1 , 3 , 5 and 6 ). These branches can form parallel bars type bodybuilding accessories. Advantageously, these branches are slightly divergent to provide the user, as explained above, a variable spacing from one end to the other of the branches.

L'élément de verrouillage 4 illustré sur les figures 1 et 2 prend notamment la forme d'un U, mobile par rapport au pan central selon une liaison pivot, notamment au moyen de charnières intermédiaires 301.The locking element 4 illustrated on the Figures 1 and 2 in particular takes the form of a U, movable relative to the central pan in a pivot connection, in particular by means of intermediate hinges 301.

Suivant les figures 1, 3, 4 et 5, la partie supérieure 2 comporte un pan central 20 et deux pans latéraux 21 montés pivotants par rapport au pan central, notamment au moyen de charnières supérieures 200. Dans une position d'utilisation, les pans latéraux de la partie supérieure 2 sont dépliés en côté du pan central de la partie supérieure pour former une structure autoportante (figure 5).Following the figures 1 , 3 , 4 and 5 , the upper part 2 comprises a central panel 20 and two side panels 21 pivotally mounted relative to the central panel, in particular by means of upper hinges 200. In a position of use, the side panels of the upper part 2 are unfolded on the side from the central pan of the upper part to form a self-supporting structure ( figure 5 ).

Selon le présent mode de réalisation, les pans latéraux de la partie supérieure et de la partie de base présentent des moyens d'assemblage 5 pour être solidarisés entre eux et former ainsi une structure autoportante unique.According to the present embodiment, the side panels of the upper part and the base part have assembly means 5 to be joined together and thus form a single self-supporting structure.

Tel que représenté sur les figures, l'élément de verrouillage 4 est situé au voisinage de l'extrémité supérieure du pan central de la partie de base. L'élément de verrouillage 4 forme les moyens d'assemblage des pans latéraux de la partie supérieure et de la partie de base de l'appareil en position d'utilisation. L'élément de verrouillage comprend ainsi sur chaque branche une section apte â être solidarisée avec :

  • un système d'attache inférieur 52 situé à l'extrémité supérieure des pans latéraux 31 de la partie de base ;
  • un système d'attache supérieur 51 situé à l'extrémité inférieure des pans latéraux 21 de la partie supérieure ;
As shown in the figures, the locking element 4 is located in the vicinity of the upper end of the central panel of the base portion. The locking element 4 forms the assembly means of the side panels of the upper part and the base part of the apparatus in the position of use. The locking element thus comprises on each branch a section capable of being secured to:
  • a lower attachment system 52 located at the upper end of the side panels 31 of the base portion;
  • an upper attachment system 51 located at the lower end of the side panels 21 of the upper part;

Les systèmes d'attache consistent par exemple en des systèmes de type pince et/ou crochets pouvant s'arrimer sur une section tubulaire de l'élément de verrouillage et pouvant réaliser, en même temps, une liaison par emboîtement entre le système d'attache inférieur et le système d'attache supérieur.The fastening systems consist for example clamp-type systems and / or hooks that can dock on a tubular section of the locking element and can achieve, at the same time, a connection by interlocking between the fastening system lower and the upper attachment system.

Par ailleurs, les pans latéraux de la partie de base et de la partie supérieure comportent une pluralité de paires de trous 6 positionnés en correspondance sur chaque pan pour recevoir une barre de traction 7 dans une position sensiblement horizontale.Furthermore, the side panels of the base portion and the upper portion comprise a plurality of pairs of holes 6 positioned in correspondence on each pan to receive a pull bar 7 in a substantially horizontal position.

Suivant le mode de réalisation préférentiel de l'invention représenté sur les figures, le pan central de la partie de base, le pan central de la partie supérieure et l'élément de verrouillage ont une structure tubulaire.According to the preferred embodiment of the invention shown in the figures, the central panel of the base part, the central panel of the upper part and the locking element have a tubular structure.

La figure 5 représente une position d'utilisation de l'appareil de musculation. On retrouve la partie de base et la partie supérieure positionnées l'une en face de l'autre de manière à permettre la réalisation d'exercices de musculation en proposant différentes combinaisons d'utilisation des accessoires de musculation.The figure 5 represents a position of use of the bodybuilding apparatus. We find the base part and the upper part positioned opposite each other so as to allow the realization of weight training exercises by proposing different combinations of use of the bodybuilding accessories.

On note que, tel que cela apparaît clairement sur la figure 5, les pans latéraux 31, 21 comportent des échancrures 9. Cette forme des pans latéraux permet à un utilisateur de se placer entre les pans latéraux et de passer les bras dans les échancrures pour aller chercher une prise côté extérieur des pans latéraux.It is noted that, as it is clear from the figure 5 , The side panels 31, 21 have notches 9. This shape of the side panels allows a user to be placed between the side panels and to pass the arms in the indentations to fetch a side outside of the side panels.

Tel qu'illustré par la figure 6, l'appareil de musculation comporte un tapis 8. Ce tapis est amené et maintenu en regard de la partie de base et/ou de la partie supérieure de l'appareil en position de rangement.As illustrated by figure 6 , the weight training device comprises a belt 8. This belt is brought and maintained facing the base portion and / or the upper part of the device in storage position.

En position d'utilisation de l'appareil de musculation le tapis est destiné à être disposé devant le pan central et entre les pans latéraux de la partie de base 3.In the position of use of the weight training device the belt is intended to be arranged in front of the central panel and between the side panels of the base part 3.

Pour convertir l'appareil de musculation d'une position d'utilisation à sa position de rangement, un utilisateur peut procéder de la manière décrite ci-après.To convert the weight machine from a use position to its storage position, a user can proceed as described below.

Dans un premier temps, les accessoires de musculation mobiles sont désolidarisés (notamment la ou les barres de tractions) et, par exemple, rangés ou attachés sur le pan central 31 de la partie de base. Les pans latéraux 21 de la partie supérieure sont ensuite désolidarisés des pans latéraux 31 de la partie de base (séparation des pans latéraux 21 des moyens d'assemblages 5 formé par l'élément de verrouillage 4), puis lesdits pans latéraux 21 de la partie supérieure sont repliés en regard du pan central 20 de la partie supérieure. C'est-à-dire que les pans latéraux 21 sont repliés l'un sur l'autre et sur le pan central 20, selon une disposition essentiellement parallèle.In a first step, the mobile weight training accessories are disassociated (in particular the traction bar or bars) and, for example, stored or attached to the central panel 31 of the base part. The side panels 21 of the upper part are then detached from the side panels 31 of the base part (separation of the side panels 21 of the assembly means 5 formed by the locking element 4), then said side panels 21 of the part upper are folded facing the central panel 20 of the upper part. That is, the side panels 21 are folded over each other and over the central panel 20 in a substantially parallel arrangement.

Dans un second temps, la partie supérieure ainsi repliée est ensuite amenée en regard de la partie de base 3. Plus précisément, la partie supérieure est positionnée à l'intérieur de la partie de base dépliée de façon à ce que la partie supérieure soit disposée de manière essentiellement parallèle au pan central de la partie de base. Une fois la partie supérieure 2 positionnée, l'élément de verrouillage 4 est détaché des pans latéraux 31 de la partie de base et rabattu en regard de la partie de base (soit à l'intérieur de la partie de base, de manière à ce que les branches 40 soient essentiellement au voisinage et parallèle au pan central 30 de la partie de base, puis les pans latéraux 31 de la partie de base sont repliés en regard du pan central, sur la partie supérieure qui est ainsi maintenue en regard de la partie de base. C'est-à-dire que la partie supérieure est maintenue de manière essentiellement parallèle à la partie de base et/ou contenue à l'intérieure de la partie de base tel qu'illustré par la figure 2.In a second step, the upper part thus folded is then brought facing the base part 3. More specifically, the upper part is positioned inside the unfolded base part so that the upper part is arranged. essentially parallel to the central part of the base part. Once the upper part 2 is positioned, the locking element 4 is detached from the side panels 31 of the base part and folded facing the base part (ie inside the base part, so that that the branches 40 are substantially in the vicinity and parallel to the central panel 30 of the base part, then the side panels 31 of the base part are folded facing the central panel, on the upper part which is thus maintained opposite the base part, that is to say that the upper part is maintained substantially parallel to the base part and / or contained within the base part as illustrated by the figure 2 .

Enfin, le tapis 8 est amené et maintenu en regard de la partie de base et/ou de la partie supérieure de l'appareil en position de rangement tel qu'illustré par la figure 6.Finally, the belt 8 is brought and held opposite the base portion and / or the upper part of the apparatus in the storage position as illustrated by FIG. figure 6 .

Ainsi, on comprend que l'appareil de musculation dans sa position de rangement est peu encombrant et aisément transportable.Thus, it is understood that the weight training device in its storage position is compact and easily transportable.
