Description de modes préférentiels de l'inventionDescription of preferred modes of the invention

Sur la figure 1, un dispositif d'exercice physique 1 selon un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention comporte une partie mécanique 2 et un appareil électronique portatif de traitement informatique et d'affichage, qui est constitué par un ordiphone ou smartphone 3 dans l'exemple représenté.On the figure 1 , a physical exercise device 1 according to a first embodiment of the invention comprises a mechanical part 2 and a portable electronic computer processing and display device, which is constituted by a smartphone or smartphone 3 in the example shown.

La partie mécanique 2 comprend un socle 4 prévu pour reposer sur un sol, ainsi qu'un élément supérieur 5 qui repose sur le socle 4. Ce socle 4 définit un siège 6 pour une portion de sphère creuse 7 faisant partie de l'élément supérieur 5, qui comporte en outre un plateau de support 8 prévu pour supporter un utilisateur et un support 9 où fixer le smartphone 3.The mechanical part 2 comprises a base 4 provided to rest on a floor, and an upper element 5 which rests on the base 4. This base 4 defines a seat 6 for a hollow sphere portion 7 forming part of the upper element 5, which further comprises a support plate 8 provided to support a user and a support 9 where to fix the smartphone 3.

Dans l'exemple représenté, le siège 6 possède une surface supérieure de glissement qui a la forme d'un tronc de sphère et qui est complémentaire de la portion de sphère 7. Cette portion de sphère 7 et le siège 6 forment ensemble un dispositif intermédiaire qui est une rotule ou articulation sphérique et qui articule le plateau de support 8 au socle 4. De la sorte, le plateau de support 8 est à même de basculer, à partir d'une position médiane sensiblement horizontale, autour de deux axes sensiblement horizontaux qui sont un axe antéro-postérieur X-X' et un axe transversal Y-Y' perpendiculaire à cet axe antéro-postérieur X-X'. La position médiane sensiblement horizontale du plateau de support 8 est celle occupée par ce plateau de support 8 à la figure 1. Comme on l'aura compris, le siège 6 et la portion de sphère 7 autorisent un pivotement autour de chacun des axes X-X' et Y-Y', ainsi qu'autour de tout axe horizontal passant par le point de croisement des axes X-X' et Y-Y'.In the example shown, the seat 6 has an upper sliding surface which has the shape of a truncated sphere and which is complementary to the sphere portion 7. This sphere portion 7 and the seat 6 together form an intermediate device which is a ball or spherical joint and which articulates the support plate 8 to the base 4. In this way, the support plate 8 is able to switch, from a substantially horizontal central position, around two substantially horizontal axes which are an antero-posterior axis XX 'and a transverse axis YY' perpendicular to this anteroposterior axis X-X '. The substantially horizontal median position of the support plate 8 is that occupied by this support plate 8 at the figure 1 . As will have been understood, the seat 6 and the sphere portion 7 allow a pivoting around each of the axes XX 'and Y-Y', as well as around any horizontal axis passing through the point of intersection of the axes XX ' and Y-Y '.

Un logement 10 défini par le socle 4 débouche au niveau du siège 6, vers l'élément supérieur 5, et contient un frein 11, qui dépasse dans la cavité du siège 6 en l'absence de l'élément supérieur 5 et qui est élastiquement déformable de manière à pouvoir être comprimé par la portion de sphère 7. Les frottements du frein 11 sur la portion de sphère 7 se traduisent par une résistance à vaincre pour faire pivoter l'élément supérieur 5 autour des axes X-X' et Y-Y'. Le frein 11 est amovible. Un retrait de ce frein 11 peut avoir pour but de permettre une utilisation du dispositif d'exercice physique 1 sans frein 11. Le frein 11 peut également être retiré pour être remplacé soit du fait de son usure, par un frein neuf, soit par un frein se distinguant du frein 11 par la valeur du freinage qu'il est à même d'opérer sur la portion de sphère 7.A housing 10 defined by the base 4 opens at the seat 6, to the upper element 5, and contains a brake 11, which protrudes into the cavity of the seat 6 in the absence of the upper element 5 and which is elastically deformable so as to be compressed by the sphere portion 7. The friction of the brake 11 on the sphere portion 7 result in a resistance to overcome to rotate the upper member 5 about the axes XX 'and Y-Y' . The brake 11 is removable. A withdrawal of this brake 11 may be intended to allow use of the exercise device 1 without brake 11. The brake 11 can also be removed to be replaced either because of its wear, by a new brake, or by a brake is distinguished from the brake 11 by the braking value that it is able to operate on the sphere portion 7.

Un rebord du socle 4 entoure le siège 6 et possède une surface supérieure qui définit une butée annulaire 12 à même de stopper le basculement du plateau de support 8. Cette butée annulaire 12 limite l'angle de basculement du plateau de support à partir de sa position horizontale.A flange of the base 4 surrounds the seat 6 and has an upper surface which defines an annular stop 12 able to stop the tilting of the support plate 8. This annular stop 12 limits the tilting angle of the support plate from its base. horizontal position.

La portion de sphère 7 et le plateau de support 8 sont rigidement associés l'un à l'autre. Dans l'exemple représenté, ils font partie d'une pièce d'un seul tenant. Le support 9 est rigidement associé au plateau de support 8, par exemple en étant fixé à ce plateau de support 8 au moyen de vis non visibles.The sphere portion 7 and the support plate 8 are rigidly associated with each other. In the example shown, they are part of a single piece. The support 9 is rigidly associated with the support plate 8, for example by being fixed to this support plate 8 by means of non-visible screws.

Le support 9 présente la forme d'un pupitre qui comprend un unique pied 13 et un panneau 14, que ce pied 13 relie au plateau de support 8. Le panneau 14 et des moyens de fixation 15 forment ensemble un dispositif de fixation. Une face supérieure du panneau 14 est pourvue des moyens de fixation 15, qui sont à même de fixer de manière non définitive le smartphone 3 ou un ordinateur portable de type tablette à ce panneau 14. Les moyens de fixation 15 peuvent comprendre une pellicule d'adhésif de type réutilisable, cette pellicule pouvant notamment être portée par un film double face. Au sens où on l'entend ici, un adhésif de type réutilisable réalise une fixation non permanente et répétable. Il peut par exemple servir à fixer successivement plusieurs éléments à un même support. Les moyens de fixation 15 peuvent également être constitués d'un élément aplati qui est fait d'un matériau élastique tel que du silicone et dont la face supérieure est lisse de manière que la face arrière du smartphone 3 puisse s'y fixer de manière amovible, par effet ventouse.The support 9 has the shape of a desk which comprises a single foot 13 and a panel 14, that foot 13 connects to the support plate 8. The panel 14 and fixing means 15 together form a fixing device. An upper face of the panel 14 is provided with fixing means 15, which are able to fix non-definitively the smartphone 3 or a tablet-type laptop to this panel 14. The fixing means 15 may comprise a film of reusable type adhesive, this film can in particular be carried by a double-sided film. As used herein, a reusable type adhesive provides non-permanent and repeatable attachment. It can for example be used to successively fix several elements to the same support. The fastening means 15 may also consist of a flattened element which is made of an elastic material such as silicone and whose upper surface is smooth so that the rear face of the smartphone 3 can be attached removably. , by suction effect.

Du fait que le siège 6 se trouve au-dessous de la portion de sphère 7, les axes de basculement X-X' et Y-Y' sont décalés du sol vers le haut, c'est-à-dire vers les pieds de l'utilisateur. Toutefois, en variante, le siège 6 peut se trouver au-dessus de la portion de sphère 7. Toujours en variante, le plateau de support 8 peut être monté de manière à ne pouvoir basculer qu'autour d'un seul axe de basculement.Because the seat 6 is below the sphere portion 7, the tilting axes XX 'and YY' are offset from the ground upwards, that is to say towards the feet of the user. However, alternatively, the seat 6 may be above the sphere portion 7. Still alternatively, the support plate 8 may be mounted so as to tilt only around a single tilting axis.

Le socle 4 et l'élément supérieur 5 peuvent chacun être réalisés par moulage d'un polymère adapté. Ils sont robustes sans être coûteux à réaliser. D'autres matériaux qu'un polymère peuvent être utilisés. Par exemple, une ou plusieurs parties du socle 4 et/ou de l'élément supérieur 5 peuvent être réalisées en bois.The base 4 and the upper element 5 may each be made by molding a suitable polymer. They are robust without being expensive to produce. Other materials than a polymer can be used. For example, one or more parts of the base 4 and / or the upper element 5 may be made of wood.

Lors de leur transport et de leur stockage, le socle 4 et l'élément supérieur 5 peuvent être dissociés l'un de l'autre.During their transport and storage, the base 4 and the upper element 5 can be dissociated from one another.

Le support 9 peut lui aussi être moulé en un polymère. Au lieu d'être rapporté sur le plateau de support 8, ce support 9 peut être monobloc avec l'élément supérieur 5 tout en restant distinct du plateau de support 8. Selon une autre alternative, le support 9 peut être rabattable contre le plateau de support 8.The support 9 can also be molded into a polymer. Instead of being attached to the support plate 8, this support 9 can be integral with the upper element 5 while remaining separate from the support plate 8. According to another alternative, the support 9 can be folded against the tray of support 8.

Le smartphone 3 regroupe la fonction d'un téléphone cellulaire et la fonction d'un ordinateur portable. En tant qu'ordinateur, le smartphone 3 comporte un processeur 20, ainsi que d'autres composants dont des mémoires non représentées et un écran d'affichage 21.

L'angle de roulis du smartphone 3 est l'angle de pivotement de ce smartphone 3 autour de l'axe antéro-postérieur X-X', à partir d'une position horizontale du smartphone 3.The smartphone 3 further comprises an orientation sensor 22 able to detect at least the presence of a roll angle and the direction of this angle. The roll angle of the smartphone 3 is the pivoting angle of this smartphone 3 around the anteroposterior axis X-X ', from a horizontal position of the smartphone 3.

Le smartphone 3 est un exemple d'appareil électronique portatif de traitement informatique et d'affichage convenant pour l'invention. Un autre exemple d'appareil électronique portatif de traitement informatique et d'affichage convenant pour l'invention en pouvant remplacer le smartphone 3 est l'ordinateur portable à écran tactile intégré qui est communément désigné par le terme « tablette », une telle tablette étant à même de détecter qu'elle est orientée avec un angle de roulis et quel est le sens de cet angle. De préférence, l'appareil électronique portatif de traitement informatique et d'affichage est aplati, possède deux faces principales opposées et comprend un écran d'affichage définissant la majeure partie de l'une de ces deux faces principales opposées. De préférence, l'appareil électronique portatif de traitement informatique et d'affichage est à même de mesurer la valeur de son angle de roulis. De préférence, l'appareil électronique portatif de traitement informatique et d'affichage est à même de détecter la présence d'un angle de tangage, ainsi que le sens et/ou la valeur de cet angle. L'angle de tangage du smartphone 3 est l'angle de pivotement de ce smartphone 3 autour de l'axe Y-Y', à partir d'une position horizontale du smartphone 3.The smartphone 3 is an example of a portable electronic computer processing and display device suitable for the invention. Another example of a portable electronic computer processing and display device that is suitable for the invention and that can replace the smartphone 3 is the integrated touch-screen portable computer that is commonly referred to as a "tablet", such a tablet being able to detect that she is oriented with a roll angle and what is the direction of this angle. Preferably, the portable electronic computer processing and display device is flattened, has two opposite major faces and comprises a display screen defining the major part of one of these two opposite major faces. Preferably, the portable electronic computer processing and display device is able to measure the value of its roll angle. Preferably, the portable electronic computer processing and display device is able to detect the presence of a pitch angle, as well as the direction and / or the value of this angle. The pitch angle of the smartphone 3 is the pivoting angle of this smartphone 3 around the Y-axis Y ', from a horizontal position of the smartphone 3.

Sur la figure 2, les moyens de fixation 15 fixent le smartphone 3 au panneau 14 du support 9, qui porte ce smartphone 3 à distance du plateau de support 8 vers le haut, de manière que la face avant du smartphone 3 soit tournée vers une région au-dessus et à la verticale de ce plateau de support 8. Un utilisateur U se tient debout sur le plateau de support 8 et s'entraîne physiquement à l'aide du dispositif d'exercice physique 1. Plus précisément, les pieds gauche et droit de l'utilisateur U sont placés de part et d'autre d'un plan vertical passant par l'axe antéro-postérieur X-X'. En effectuant des transferts de poids successifs entre sa jambe gauche et sa jambe droite, l'utilisateur U fait alternativement basculer le plateau de support 8 dans un sens puis dans l'autre, autour de l'axe antéro-postérieur X-X'. A chaque fois qu'il veut faire basculer ce plateau de support 8, l'utilisateur U doit se hisser sur sa jambe la plus repliée, comme s'il gravissait une marche, ce qui lui demande un effort physique conséquent, qui est fonction du freinage appliqué par le frein 11. L'utilisateur U effectue son entraînement en regardant l'écran d'affichage 21 et en suivant ainsi des instructions que le smartphone 3 lui communique de manière ludique, à savoir par le biais d'un jeu vidéo, comme cela est décrit à l'aide des figures 3 à 6 dans ce qui suit. Ce jeu vidéo peut notamment être une application téléchargée. Dans un souci de clarté, les figures 3 et 5 représentent le dispositif d'exercice physique 1 sans l'utilisateur U.On the figure 2 , the fixing means 15 fix the smartphone 3 to the panel 14 of the support 9, which carries the smartphone 3 away from the support plate 8 upwards, so that the front face of the smartphone 3 is turned towards a region above and upright of this support plate 8. A user U stands on the support plate 8 and physically trains using the physical exercise device 1. Specifically, the left and right feet of the U user are placed on either side of a vertical plane passing through the anteroposterior axis X-X '. By performing successive weight transfers between his left leg and his right leg, the user U alternately tilts the support plate 8 in one direction and then in the other, around the anteroposterior axis X-X '. Each time he wants to tilt the support plate 8, the user U must hoist on his most folded leg, as if he climbed a step, which requires a physical effort, which is a function of the braking applied by the brake 11. The user U carries out his training by looking at the display screen 21 and thus following instructions that the smartphone 3 communicates to him in a fun way, namely through a video game, as is described using the Figures 3 to 6 in the following. This video game can notably be a downloaded application. For the sake of clarity, Figures 3 and 5 represent the exercise device 1 without the user U.

Sur la figure 3, le plateau de support 8 a été basculé dans un premier sens S1 autour de l'axe antéro-postérieur X-X', par rapport à sa position horizontale. Le smartphone 3 a basculé comme le plateau de support 8 autour de l'axe antéro-postérieur X-X', ce qu'a détecté son capteur d'orientation 22. Ce smartphone 3 exécute le jeu vidéo, dans lequel un skieur P engagé dans une descente effectue des virages, ainsi que l'illustre la figure 4. Plus précisément, le jeu vidéo définit un parcours que doit suivre le skieur P.On the figure 3 , the support plate 8 has been tilted in a first direction S 1 about the anteroposterior axis X-X ', with respect to its position horizontal. The smartphone 3 has rocked like the support plate 8 around the anteroposterior axis X-X ', which detected its orientation sensor 22. This smartphone 3 executes the video game, in which a skier P engaged in a descent makes turns, as illustrated by the figure 4 . More precisely, the video game defines a course that the skier P must follow.

Le smartphone 3 interprète tout basculement significatif de lui-même dans le premier sens S1 comme une commande de faire tourner le skieur P à droite. La figure 4 montre quelle image affiche l'écran d'affichage 21 lorsque le dispositif d'exercice physique 1 est tel que représenté à la figure 3. Sur cette figure 4, le skieur P effectue un virage à droite puisque, à la figure 3, le plateau de support 8 et le smartphone 3 sont basculés dans le premier sens S1 par rapport à l'horizontale.The smartphone 3 interprets any significant tilt of itself in the first sense S 1 as a command to turn the skier P to the right. The figure 4 shows which image displays the display screen 21 when the exercise device 1 is as shown in FIG. figure 3 . On this figure 4 , the skier P makes a right turn since, at the figure 3 , the support plate 8 and the smartphone 3 are tilted in the first direction S 1 relative to the horizontal.

Sur la figure 5, le plateau de support 8 a été basculé autour de l'axe antéro-postérieur X-X', par rapport à sa position horizontale, dans un deuxième sens S2 contraire au premier sens S1. Le smartphone 3 a basculé comme le plateau de support 8 autour de l'axe antéro-postérieur X-X', ce qu'a détecté son capteur d'orientation 22. Exécutant toujours le jeu vidéo, le smartphone 3 interprète tout basculement significatif de lui-même dans le deuxième sens S2 comme une commande de faire tourner le skieur P à gauche. La figure 6 montre quelle image affiche l'écran d'affichage 21 lorsque le dispositif d'exercice physique 1 est tel que représenté à la figure 5. Sur cette figure 6, le skieur P effectue un virage à gauche puisque, à la figure 5, le plateau de support 8 et le smartphone 3 sont basculés dans le deuxième sens S2 par rapport à l'horizontale.On the figure 5 , the support plate 8 has been tilted about the anteroposterior axis X-X ', with respect to its horizontal position, in a second direction S 2 contrary to the first direction S 1 . The smartphone 3 has rocked as the support plate 8 around the anteroposterior axis X-X ', which detected its orientation sensor 22. Still executing the video game, the smartphone 3 interprets any significant changeover of itself in the second sense S 2 as a command to turn the skier P to the left. The figure 6 shows which image displays the display screen 21 when the exercise device 1 is as shown in FIG. figure 5 . On this figure 6 , the skier P makes a left turn since, at the figure 5 , the support plate 8 and the smartphone 3 are swung in the second direction S 2 relative to the horizontal.

Pour faire suivre au skieur P le parcours défini par le jeu vidéo, l'utilisateur U doit faire basculer le plateau de support 8 alternativement dans un sens puis dans l'autre. Au lieu d'être monotone, l'entraînement de l'utilisateur U à l'aide du dispositif d'exercice 1 est rendu divertissant par le smartphone 3, qui motive l'utilisateur et qui lui procure une assistance en imprimant le rythme auquel le plateau de support 8 doit être alternativement basculé dans un sens puis dans l'autre. Cette assistance peut se présenter sous la forme d'un jeu vidéo mettant en scène un skieur, comme dans l'exemple représenté, ou bien sous la forme d'un autre jeu vidéo ou bien encore d'une autre manière. Par exemple, un programme exécuté par le smartphone peut générer et afficher des statistiques relatives à l'exercice physique en cours ou passé, en complément ou à la place du jeu vidéo.To make the skier follow the path defined by the video game, the user U must tilt the support plate 8 alternately in one direction and then in the other. Instead of being monotonous, the training of the user U with the aid of the exercise device 1 is made entertaining by the smartphone 3, which motivates the user and gives him assistance by printing the rhythm at which the support plate 8 must be alternately tilted in one direction and then in the other. This assistance can be in the form of a video game featuring a skier, as in the example shown, or in the form of another video game or in another way. For example, a program executed by the smartphone can generate and display statistics relating to the current or past physical exercise, in addition to or in place of the video game.

Dans l'exemple décrit précédemment, le programme exécuté par le smartphone 3 est conçu pour amener l'utilisateur à exécuter des transferts de poids entre la gauche et la droite. Le programme exécuté par le smartphone 3 peut aussi être conçu pour amener l'utilisateur à exécuter d'autres transferts de poids. Par exemple, il peut être conçu pour amener l'utilisateur à exécuter des transferts de poids entre la gauche et la droite, des transferts de poids entre l'arrière et l'avant, ainsi que des transferts de poids conduisant à des basculements du plateau de support 8 autour d'axes autres que les axes X-X' et Y-Y' (transferts de poids comprenant une composante de transfert de poids entre la gauche et la droite et une composante de transfert de poids entre l'arrière et l'avant).In the example described above, the program executed by the smartphone 3 is designed to cause the user to perform weight transfers between the left and right. The program executed by the smartphone 3 may also be designed to cause the user to perform other weight transfers. For example, it may be designed to cause the user to perform weight transfers between the left and right, weight transfers between the back and front, as well as weight transfers leading to plateau shifts 8 relative to axes XX 'and YY' (weight transfers comprising a weight transfer component between the left and the right and a weight transfer component between the rear and the front).
