Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sports device for use in water, a set of these sports devices and the use of the sports device for water sports with the help of the hands.
  • oars or paddles are used to move boats in the water.
  • the rudder and paddle have a long, straight handle, at the end of which a flat component is attached, and at the other end of which there is a handle.
  • the handle between the handle and rudder blade is movably attached to the boat, so that when the handle is pulled towards the body, the rudder blade is moved away from the body by the water. The athlete thereby moves backwards with the boat.
  • a paddle also has a long handle, at the end of which a blade is attached, which has a handle at the end of the paddle remote from the blade. Paddles are not attached to the boat when operated.
  • a water sports device in which the leaves are attached to the handle according to the handles, is in DE 36 28 637 A1 described. Leverage is used for locomotion.
  • US 4,865,571 shows a device which has a rigid rectangular plate for locomotion in water with V-shaped fixed spikes for gripping an ice surface and a longer spike projecting from the surface for gripping an ice surface through a snow surface.
  • the thorns lie on the side of the surface facing away from the handle.
  • WO 2015/110824 shows a paddle for water sports in which a handle is attached to a substantially triangular, flat plate.
  • EP 1498159 shows a fitness training device in the form of a flat disc with a peripheral edge on which a handle is attached to the side of the edge.
  • the device is very flat so that the water resistance when moving horizontally, in the plane of the disc, is as low as possible, but as large as possible perpendicular to it.
  • the object of the present invention was to provide an alternative sports device with which gymnastic endurance sports can be carried out in the water. This object is achieved by the present invention.
  • the invention relates to a sports device according to claim 1.
  • Another object of the invention is a sports device according to the invention, in which two sports devices, each having a blade, a handle and a handle, in which the handles are each between two holders on the handle, with which the handle is attached to the sheet, with each other are connected via a connector.
  • a blade is a component which can be pulled through water with a force suitable for training the muscles against resistance.
  • it usually has a c w value of between 1.0 and 1.5, preferably between 1.15 and 1.4.
  • Completely flat sheets are suitable compared to the direction of movement (c w value of approx. 1.0-1.1). More suitable sheets, however, have a surface that has a space open against the direction of movement. An example of such a sheet is a hemisphere or half-shell open against the direction of movement. If such a sheet is pulled through the water with the open side, it feels more stable. Sheets with a surface that has different angles of inclination with respect to the direction of movement through the water over their length and width are preferred.
  • the sheet can generate sufficient water resistance, it is preferably impermeable to water or has a sufficiently large, unbroken area. There will be sufficient water resistance if the sportsperson has to make a significant effort to be able to move the sports equipment through the water perpendicular to the handle.
  • the c w value of the sheet can be brought into the range in which it can be used for the invention by various design measures.
  • One of these factors is the angle of attack against the direction of movement. This can be influenced by attaching the handle and the angle of the handle to the blade.
  • the angle of attack is between 75 and 90 degrees, preferably between 85 and 90 degrees.
  • Another factor is the surface of the surface of the blade directed against the direction of movement. On one or more sides it can have an angle of more than 80 degrees, preferably between 85 and 90 degrees, with respect to the direction of movement in the water. The more you work with pressure against the water, the faster you should think that the sports equipment moves through the water. Thats not right.
  • the components of the blade used to generate the water resistance are preferably made of a light material.
  • This can be a uniform material, such as plastic, but also a composite, such as reinforced plastic or carbon.
  • the material primarily used is polypropylene, but this does not mean that other materials such as fiberglass or carbon are excluded for higher-quality sheets (or the entire sports equipment).
  • the sheet is preferably made with a substantially uniform wall thickness.
  • the wall thickness of the sheet according to the invention is usually between 1.2 mm and 1.5 mm for the majority of its surface, depending on the material.
  • the preferred thickness of the sheet in the surface is 1.3 mm, and 5 mm in the area of the holders.
  • the flexibility of the sheet, even at different points on the sheet can be adjusted via the layer thickness. It has been found that for the water sports with the invention it is pleasant for the athlete if the blade is not completely rigid. A deflection at the edge of up to 10 cm, preferably between 1.2 cm and 1.5 cm, when moving through the water has proven to be gentle on the joints even under extremely high loads, since the force can be developed gently. Plastic has proven to be particularly suitable as the material for the flat portion of the leaf that contributes the most water resistance.
  • the size of the cross-sectional area through which the water resistance is generated also has an influence on the force that the athlete has to exert to move the sports equipment through the water.
  • this area does not mean the area of the surface of the sheet, but the area of the projection of the sheet onto the area perpendicular to the direction of movement.
  • the area of the leaf that is effective for water resistance can therefore have an area of between 100 and 2000 cm 2 , sports equipment with a smaller area requiring less strength, that is to say more suitable for beginners or children, while equipment with larger areas for training for experienced persons strong muscles are more suitable.
  • An area of between 600 and 1000 cm 2 is suitable for adults with average strength.
  • the blade is attached to the stem with two brackets.
  • This handle has a handle through which the sports equipment can be gripped and moved through the water.
  • the stem extends between the two holders of the leaf. It can therefore have any shape that ensures this function. In its simplest form, it can be a rod with a round cross-section. It is preferably tubular.
  • the handle is so long that it can be held by the brackets on the one hand and that it can pick up or form the handle on the other hand. The minimum length is therefore determined by the distance between the brackets. This in turn is determined by the fact that the handle lies between the brackets and is therefore determined by the width of the hand of the athlete. The maximum length is given by the dimensions of the leaf.
  • the stalk should not protrude, or not significantly, permanently beyond the cross-sectional area of the blade, because otherwise this could lead to injuries from the protruding part.
  • the stem therefore usually has a length of between 20 cm and 30 cm; 25 cm are preferred.
  • the diameter of the handle tube is preferably between 15 mm and 40 mm, particularly preferably between 20 mm and 30 mm. If you use a tube with a diameter of 24 mm, you can use a standard bicycle handlebar handle.
  • the handle is made of a material that is strong enough to hold the handle in a fixed position relative to the blade. Metals or plastics are suitable for this. If the sports equipment is to be particularly light, light metals have proven to be preferred. In addition, it must not corrode.
  • the handle can also be made of plastic, in particular of the plastic from which the sheet is also made. This also simplifies production, since the sports equipment can then be produced in an injection molding step.
  • the handle can be part of the handle or a component attached to the handle, which largely or completely encompasses the handle, so that the handle can be largely or completely gripped by hand.
  • the size of the hand therefore essentially determines the circumference of the handle.
  • the circumference is therefore preferably between 8 cm and 20 cm.
  • part of the handle itself is used as a handle. This is useful if the sports equipment is to be inexpensive.
  • the handle is a long component with a round cross section that is so large that it can be gripped and held firmly by hand. The diameter is then between 2 cm and 6 cm, preferably between 2.5 cm and 4 cm, a small diameter being advantageous for smaller hands, such as in children.
  • a separately attached handle is then no longer necessary, since part of the handle serves as a handle.
  • this has the disadvantage that it is more difficult to grip and hold the handle without the hand slipping on the handle during the exercises.
  • Another embodiment is characterized in that the handle and the handle are made of the same material, and the handle is formed from the material of the handle, for example in order to ensure better grip of the handle.
  • This embodiment is particularly easy to manufacture if the sports device is made of plastic, since the device can then be manufactured by injection molding.
  • the plastic can be ergonomically shaped in the area of the handle so that it is designed to be easy to grip.
  • the handle on the handle is shaped separately. It is therefore more independent of the shape of the stem.
  • the shape is designed so that it can be held firmly by hand. This can have the shape and size of a conventional bicycle handlebar handle made of soft plastic. So that the hand cannot slip in the direction of the holders, extensions can be provided on the sides of the handle.
  • the handle is a cylindrical piece made of rubber, which is pushed onto the desired position when the handle made of aluminum tube is installed.
  • the material of the handle is chosen depending on the desired design. Soft plastics that are easy to process, skin-friendly and secure to the touch are particularly suitable.
  • the handle can be anywhere between the brackets.
  • the handle is fixed on the handle so that the sports equipment is always firmly gripped in the same place. This is preferably chosen so that the force from the hand is distributed as evenly as possible to the sports equipment, so that the surface effective against the water resistance is as perpendicular as possible to the direction of movement of the sports equipment.
  • this location is preferably placed in the front third of the stem, which is closer to the thumb, provided that the holders are in each case at the outer ends of the blade. If the water resistance on one side of the blade is increased, the handle will usefully be shifted further to this side. This serves to make training more even.
  • the brackets connect the blade to the stem.
  • This connection can be permanent, but also temporary.
  • the blade should be securely attached to the stem during exercise. If the sports equipment can be disassembled, holders can be selected in which the handle or the leaf can be removed from the holder, or in which the holders can be released.
  • An embodiment with a permanent connection is obtained if the sports equipment is to be produced from a single material, for example plastic, by injection molding. In multi-step manufacturing processes, the holder can be permanently attached to the blade or the handle and can be connected to the handle or blade to complete or provide the sports equipment.
  • the connection can be made using conventional methods. Pushing, screwing, clamping, snapping or a combination of one or more of these methods are suitable for this.
  • the holders are located on the side of the blade or of the sports device on which the stem is also located and which is on the side of the direction of movement of the device.
  • the area of the sheet preferably encloses between 5% and 75% of the space around the handle.
  • the brackets have a receptacle for the handle, in which this is then attached by screws.
  • the brackets are attached to the blade so far apart that there is still space for the handle on the handle.
  • both holders can be designed in the form of openings in the sheet.
  • the first holder is part of the blade on the side of the sports device that lies on the side of the direction of movement.
  • a component is provided at one end of the blade, which projects towards the handle in the direction of movement and has a receptacle for the handle, for example a round opening with the outer shape of the handle.
  • the handle is screwed into the holder on the one hand and clamped on the other side.
  • the second bracket is formed by a hole in the blade into which the stem is received, for example a round hole with the outer shape of the stem which extends from the inside of the blade to the outside, through which the stem extends from the inside to the outside can.
  • Fasteners such as screws or clamps, can then be provided on the inside or the outside of the sheet. Again, the two brackets are so far apart on the blade that there is space for the handle with the handle between them.
  • the brackets and the handle also serve to hold the handle so far away from the blade that the hand does not come into direct contact with the blade when gripping the sports equipment by the handle and especially during the exercises. This is ensured if the distance between the handle and the blade is more than 5 cm. The distance is advantageously between 5.5 and 11 cm.
  • the sheet is formed from a strongly rounded, rectangular, curved plastic plate with a width of 20 cm and a length of over 30 cm, but a maximum of 50 cm.
  • the edges of the plate are bent in the direction of the handle, so that a hollow interior is formed, the edge protruding on one side over the handle, so that the handle protrudes outwards from the interior through an opening in the plate.
  • the sports device according to the invention can be manufactured by conventional methods. If the sports device is made entirely of plastic, it can be injection molded from a thermoplastic, such as PP and PE. The sheet including the brackets is preferred in Injection molding process made of PP. If individual components are to be made of other plastics, for example softer materials, such as the handle, the sports equipment can be manufactured using the two-component injection molding process. If the sports equipment consists of different materials, the individual components can be manufactured separately and then assembled. This is the case if individual components, such as the handle, are to consist of metals, others of plastic.
  • the sports device according to the invention can be used for water sports. This includes sports that are carried out in one place in the water. To do this, the athlete goes into the water, standing or moving freely, grips the sports equipment firmly with one hand on the handle and moves the sports equipment through the water. The movement can take place both horizontally and vertically. The effort and thus the training effect can be adjusted by grasping the sports equipment on the handle in such a way that the blade has different angles of attack to the direction of movement. The effort is greatest when the c w value reaches the greatest value. This is usually the case when the area of the blade that is effective for the water resistance with regard to a specific direction of movement is the largest. You can do the same exercises with a lot or little effort.
  • An example of an exercise with the sports device according to the invention is the gripping of the handle with the arm extended so that the interior of the blade points to the athlete, movement of the sports device in the direction of the athlete by tightening the arm muscles and then returning the sports device to the starting position.
  • Another exercise is gripping the sports equipment by hand with the arm extended forward so that the interior of the sports equipment points downward, moving the extended arm with the sports equipment downward and returning the sports equipment to the starting position.
  • the muscles are not only trained when flexing the arm muscles, but also when the arm muscles are stretched while returning to the starting position. Movement in the water also means that balancing movements are required throughout the body so that the body remains in place and does not fall forward or backward. This also trains the spinal stabilization muscles.
  • the sports device according to the invention therefore ensures a gentle load on a large number of muscle groups through gentle strength development.
  • the sports device according to the invention can also be used for locomotion through the water.
  • One way to do this is to swim in the familiar crawl style.
  • each hand grips one of the sports equipment according to the invention.
  • one piece of sports equipment is guided through the air from back to front, while the other is pulled through the water from front to back.
  • the water resistance generated by the leaf is converted into a movement of the athlete forward.
  • Using the sports device according to the invention for swimming is not as easy as it appears, but experienced swimmers can quickly learn the new techniques.
  • the sheet according to the invention preferably has a curved, oval, elongated shape.
  • the said blade describes the shape of a shovel which has a handle in the middle in the longitudinal direction.
  • the sports device according to the invention generally has a length of approximately 30 cm, a width of approximately 20 cm and at the deepest point a depth of approximately 12 cm to 15 cm.
  • the sports device according to the invention can also contain further components.
  • This can be a component that can be used to connect to another piece of sports equipment.
  • the component is preferably a connecting piece, for example a connecting handle, which can be attached to the second copy of the sports device.
  • brackets are available either on the connecting handle or on one or both sports equipment. Because of the quick detachability, clamp brackets are preferred.
  • one of the brackets of each of the two sports equipment used to attach the handle to the blade is also used to attach the connecting handle.
  • the shape of the connecting piece or connecting rod is chosen so that the two connected sports equipment can be grasped with one hand on each handle and it firmly connects the two individual sports equipment, preferably via their handles.
  • the connecting handle is so long that the two sports equipment are at a sufficient distance from each other for training. In a more comfortable version, the length of the connecting rod is variable so that different exercises can be trained. As a rule, the connecting handle is so long that the connecting handle can be completely sunk in the sports device according to the invention, so that nothing protrudes. This avoids the Risk of injury.
  • the distance between the handles of the two sports equipment is between 40 cm and 1.2 m, preferably between 50 cm and 1 m.

Description

Gegenstand der Erfindung sind ein Sportgerät zum Einsatz im Wasser, ein Set dieser Sportgeräte und die Verwendung des Sportgeräts zum Betreiben von Wassersport mit Hilfe der Hände.The invention relates to a sports device for use in water, a set of these sports devices and the use of the sports device for water sports with the help of the hands.

Geräte zur Fortbewegung im Wasser sind bekannt. So werden beispielsweise Ruder oder Paddel zur Fortbewegung von Booten im Wasser verwendet. Ruder und Paddel haben hierfür einen langen, geraden Stiel, an dessen Ende ein flächiges Bauteil angebracht ist, und an dessen anderem Ende sich ein Handgriff befindet. Bei Rudern wird der Stiel zwischen Handgriff und Ruderblatt beweglich am Boot befestigt, so dass bei Ziehen des Handgriffs in Richtung des Körpers das Ruderblatt durch das Wasser vom Körper weg bewegt wird. Der Sporttreibende bewegt sich dadurch mit dem Boot rückwärts fort. Ein Paddel hat ebenfalls einen langen Stiel, an dessen Ende ein Blatt angebracht ist, welches an dem von dem Blatt entfernten Ende des Paddels einen Handgriff aufweist. Paddel werden bei der Betätigung nicht am Boot befestigt. Der Sportler zieht das Blatt durch das Wasser nach hinten weg, sodass er sich nach vorne bewegt. Es gibt auch Paddel, bei denen an jedem Ende des Stiels ein Blatt befestigt ist. Sowohl bei Rudern als auch bei Paddeln ist das zur Fortbewegung durch das Wasser bewegte Blatt am einen Ende des Stiels befestigt, während der Handgriff sich am anderen Ende oder zwischen zwei Blättern befindet. Ein Wassersportgerät, bei dem die Blätter jeweils nach den Handgriffen am Stiel befestigt sind, ist in DE 36 28 637 A1 beschrieben. Zur Fortbewegung wird die Hebelkraft eingesetzt.Devices for locomotion in water are known. For example, oars or paddles are used to move boats in the water. For this purpose, the rudder and paddle have a long, straight handle, at the end of which a flat component is attached, and at the other end of which there is a handle. When rowing, the handle between the handle and rudder blade is movably attached to the boat, so that when the handle is pulled towards the body, the rudder blade is moved away from the body by the water. The athlete thereby moves backwards with the boat. A paddle also has a long handle, at the end of which a blade is attached, which has a handle at the end of the paddle remote from the blade. Paddles are not attached to the boat when operated. The athlete pulls the blade back through the water so that it moves forward. There are also paddles with a blade attached to each end of the handle. In both oars and paddles, the blade that moves through the water is attached to one end of the handle, while the handle is at the other end or between two blades. A water sports device, in which the leaves are attached to the handle according to the handles, is in DE 36 28 637 A1 described. Leverage is used for locomotion.

US 4,865,571 zeigt ein Gerät, welches eine starre rechteckige Platte zur Fortbewegung in Wasser mit V-förmigen festen Dornen zum Griff auf einer Eisfläche sowie einem von der Fläche abstehenden längeren Dorn zum Greifen auf eine Eisfläche durch eine Schneeoberfläche hindurch aufweist. Die Dornen liegen auf der vom Griff wegweisenden Seite der Fläche. US 4,865,571 shows a device which has a rigid rectangular plate for locomotion in water with V-shaped fixed spikes for gripping an ice surface and a longer spike projecting from the surface for gripping an ice surface through a snow surface. The thorns lie on the side of the surface facing away from the handle.

WO 2015/110824 zeigt ein Paddel für Wassersport bei dem ein Handgriff an einer im wesentlichen dreieckigen, flachen Platte befestigt ist. WO 2015/110824 shows a paddle for water sports in which a handle is attached to a substantially triangular, flat plate.

EP 1498159 zeigt ein Fitnesstrainingsgerät in Form einer flachen Scheibe mit einem umlaufenden Rand, an der ein Handgriff auf der Seite des Randes angebracht ist. Das Gerät ist sehr flach, damit der Wasserwiderstand bei Bewegung horizontal, in der Ebene der Scheibe, möglichst gering, senkrecht dazu aber möglichst groß ist. EP 1498159 shows a fitness training device in the form of a flat disc with a peripheral edge on which a handle is attached to the side of the edge. The The device is very flat so that the water resistance when moving horizontally, in the plane of the disc, is as low as possible, but as large as possible perpendicular to it.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung war es, ein alternatives Sportgerät zur Verfügung zu stellen, mit dem gymnastischer Kraftausdauersport im Wasser betrieben werden kann. Diese Aufgabe wird durch die vorliegende Erfindung gelöst.The object of the present invention was to provide an alternative sports device with which gymnastic endurance sports can be carried out in the water. This object is achieved by the present invention.

Als Blatt wird im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung ein Bauteil bezeichnet, das mit einer zum Training der Muskulatur geeigneten Kraft gegen einen Widerstand durch Wasser gezogen werden kann. Hierzu weist es üblicherweise einen cw-Wert von zwischen 1,0 und 1,5, bevorzugt zwischen 1,15 und 1,4 auf. Geeignet sind zwar gegenüber der Bewegungsrichtung gänzlich flache Blätter (cw-Wert von ca. 1,0-1,1). Besser geeignete Blätter haben jedoch eine Fläche, die einen gegen die Bewegungsrichtung offenen Raum haben. Ein Beispiel eines solchen Blatts ist eine gegen die Bewegungsrichtung offene Halbkugel oder Halbschale. Wird ein solches Blatt mit der offenen Seite durchs Wasser gezogen, fühlt es sich stabiler an. Bevorzugt sind Blätter mit einer Fläche, die über ihre Länge und Breite unterschiedliche Neigungswinkel gegenüber der Bewegungsrichtung durch das Wasser aufweist. Eine solche Form haben beispielsweise Muschelhalbschalen nachgeformte Blätter. Damit das Blatt einen ausreichenden Wasserwiderstand erzeugen kann, ist es bevorzugt wasserundurchlässig oder hat eine ausreichend große, undurchbrochene Fläche. Ein ausreichender Wasserwiderstand wird dann vorliegen, wenn der Sporttreibende sich deutlich anstrengen muss, um das Sportgerät senkrecht zum Handgriff durch das Wasser bewegen zu können.For the purposes of the present invention, a blade is a component which can be pulled through water with a force suitable for training the muscles against resistance. For this purpose, it usually has a c w value of between 1.0 and 1.5, preferably between 1.15 and 1.4. Completely flat sheets are suitable compared to the direction of movement (c w value of approx. 1.0-1.1). More suitable sheets, however, have a surface that has a space open against the direction of movement. An example of such a sheet is a hemisphere or half-shell open against the direction of movement. If such a sheet is pulled through the water with the open side, it feels more stable. Sheets with a surface that has different angles of inclination with respect to the direction of movement through the water over their length and width are preferred. Have such a shape for example, shell half-shells re-shaped leaves. In order that the sheet can generate sufficient water resistance, it is preferably impermeable to water or has a sufficiently large, unbroken area. There will be sufficient water resistance if the sportsperson has to make a significant effort to be able to move the sports equipment through the water perpendicular to the handle.

Der cw-Wert des Blatts kann durch verschiedene konstruktive Maßnahmen in den Bereich gebracht werden, in dem er für die Erfindung brauchbar ist. Eine dieser Faktoren ist der Anstellwinkel gegen die Bewegungsrichtung. Dieser kann durch die Befestigung des Handgriffs und des Winkels des Stiels an dem Blatt beeinflusst werden. Der Anstellwinkel liegt im Sinne der Erfindung zwischen 75 und 90 Winkelgrad, bevorzugt zwischen 85 und 90 Winkelgrad. Ein weiterer Faktor ist die Oberfläche der gegen die Bewegungsrichtung gerichteten Fläche des Blatts. So kann sie an einer oder mehreren Seiten einen Winkel von mehr als 80 Winkelgrad, bevorzugt zwischen 85 und 90 Winkelgrad, gegenüber der Bewegungsrichtung im Wasser haben. Je mehr man mit Druck gegen das Wasser arbeitet, desto schneller, sollte man meinen, bewegt sich das Sportgerät durch das Wasser. Das stimmt so aber nicht. Es wird nur ein kleiner Geschwindigkeitszuwachs erzielt, wohingegen die Kraft, welche man aufbieten muss, überproportional steigt. Dadurch ist dasselbe Sportgerät zum Training ohne konstruktive Änderungen sowohl für kräftigere als auch schwächere Personen geeignet, oder man kann das gleiche Bewegungsmuster mit viel oder wenig Kraft ausüben.The c w value of the sheet can be brought into the range in which it can be used for the invention by various design measures. One of these factors is the angle of attack against the direction of movement. This can be influenced by attaching the handle and the angle of the handle to the blade. For the purposes of the invention, the angle of attack is between 75 and 90 degrees, preferably between 85 and 90 degrees. Another factor is the surface of the surface of the blade directed against the direction of movement. On one or more sides it can have an angle of more than 80 degrees, preferably between 85 and 90 degrees, with respect to the direction of movement in the water. The more you work with pressure against the water, the faster you should think that the sports equipment moves through the water. Thats not right. Only a small increase in speed is achieved, whereas the force that has to be exerted increases disproportionately. As a result, the same sports equipment is suitable for training without strong design changes for both stronger and weaker people, or you can practice the same movement pattern with a lot or little strength.

Die zur Erzeugung des Wasserwiderstands verwendeten Bauteile des Blatts sind bevorzugt aus einem leichten Material gebildet. Es kann sich hierbei um ein einheitliches Material handeln, wie Kunststoff, aber auch um einen Verbundstoff, wie verstärkten Kunststoff oder Carbon. Als Material kommt aus Kosten- und Flexibilitätsgründen in erster Linie Polypropylen in Frage, was jedoch nicht bedeutet, dass andere Materialien wie Fiberglas, oder auch Carbon für höherwertige Blätter (oder das gesamte Sportgerät) ausgeschlossen sind.The components of the blade used to generate the water resistance are preferably made of a light material. This can be a uniform material, such as plastic, but also a composite, such as reinforced plastic or carbon. For cost and flexibility reasons, the material primarily used is polypropylene, but this does not mean that other materials such as fiberglass or carbon are excluded for higher-quality sheets (or the entire sports equipment).

Das Blatt ist bevorzugt mit im Wesentlichen gleichmäßiger Wandstärke gefertigt. Die Wandstärke des erfindungsgemäßen Blatts beträgt für den überwiegenden Teil seiner Fläche üblicherweise je nach Material zwischen 1,2 mm und 1,5 mm. Die bevorzugte Stärke des Blatts in der Fläche beträgt 1,3 mm, und im Bereich der Halterungen 5 mm. Außerdem kann über die Schichtdicke die Flexibilität des Blatts, auch an unterschiedlichen Stellen des Blatts, eingestellt werden. Es hat sich herausgestellt, dass es für den Wassersport mit der Erfindung für den Sportler angenehm ist, wenn das Blatt nicht vollkommen starr ist. Eine Auslenkung am Rand um bis zu 10 cm, bevorzugt zwischen 1,2 cm und 1,5 cm, bei der Bewegung durchs Wasser hat sich auch bei extrem hoher Belastung als gelenkschonend erwiesen, da die Kraftentwicklung sanft erfolgen kann. Als Material gerade für den flächigen Anteil des Blatts, der den meisten Wasserwiderstand beisteuert, hat sich Kunststoff als besonders geeignet erwiesen.The sheet is preferably made with a substantially uniform wall thickness. The wall thickness of the sheet according to the invention is usually between 1.2 mm and 1.5 mm for the majority of its surface, depending on the material. The preferred thickness of the sheet in the surface is 1.3 mm, and 5 mm in the area of the holders. In addition, the flexibility of the sheet, even at different points on the sheet, can be adjusted via the layer thickness. It has been found that for the water sports with the invention it is pleasant for the athlete if the blade is not completely rigid. A deflection at the edge of up to 10 cm, preferably between 1.2 cm and 1.5 cm, when moving through the water has proven to be gentle on the joints even under extremely high loads, since the force can be developed gently. Plastic has proven to be particularly suitable as the material for the flat portion of the leaf that contributes the most water resistance.

Neben dem cw-Wert hat auch die Größe der Querschnittsfläche, durch welche der Wasserwiderstand erzeugt wird, einen Einfluss auf die Kraft, die der Sportler aufbringen muss, um das Sportgerät durch das Wasser zu bewegen. Mit dieser Fläche ist in diesem Zusammenhang nicht die Fläche der Oberfläche des Blatts gemeint, sondern die Fläche der Projektion des Blatts auf die Fläche senkrecht zur Bewegungsrichtung.In addition to the c w value, the size of the cross-sectional area through which the water resistance is generated also has an influence on the force that the athlete has to exert to move the sports equipment through the water. In this context, this area does not mean the area of the surface of the sheet, but the area of the projection of the sheet onto the area perpendicular to the direction of movement.

Für das Beispiel eines mit der offenen Seite durch das Wasser bewegten halbkugelförmigen Blatts ist dies somit nicht die (halbe) Kugelinnenfläche, sondern die Fläche des Querschnitts durch die (gedachte) Kugel. Die für den Wasserwiderstand wirksame Fläche des Blatts kann somit eine Fläche von zwischen 100 und 2000 cm2 haben, wobei Sportgeräte mit kleinerer Fläche weniger Kraft erfordern, also für Anfänger oder Kinder besser geeignet sind, während Geräte mit größeren Flächen zum Training für erfahrene Personen mit kräftiger Muskulatur besser geeignet sind. Für Erwachsene mit durchschnittlicher Kraft ist eine Fläche von zwischen 600 und 1000 cm2passend.For the example of a hemispherical sheet with the open side moving through the water, this is therefore not the (half) inside surface of the sphere, but the area of the cross section through the (imaginary) sphere. The area of the leaf that is effective for water resistance can therefore have an area of between 100 and 2000 cm 2 , sports equipment with a smaller area requiring less strength, that is to say more suitable for beginners or children, while equipment with larger areas for training for experienced persons strong muscles are more suitable. An area of between 600 and 1000 cm 2 is suitable for adults with average strength.

Das Blatt ist mit zwei Halterungen an dem Stiel befestigt. Dieser Stiel weist einen Handgriff auf, durch den das Sportgerät ergriffen und durch das Wasser bewegt werden kann.The blade is attached to the stem with two brackets. This handle has a handle through which the sports equipment can be gripped and moved through the water.

Der Stiel erstreckt sich zwischen den zwei Halterungen des Blatts. Er kann daher jede Form haben, durch die diese Funktion sichergestellt wird. In seiner einfachsten Form kann es sich also um einen Stab mit rundem Querschnitt handeln. Bevorzugt ist er röhrenförmig. Der Stiel ist so lang, dass er einerseits von den Halterungen festgehalten werden kann, und dass er andererseits den Handgriff aufnehmen oder bilden kann. Die minimale Länge ist daher durch den Abstand der Halterungen voneinander bestimmt. Dieser wiederum ist durch die Tatsache vorgegeben, dass der Handgriff zwischen den Halterungen liegt, und ist somit durch die Breite der Hand des Sportlers vorgegeben. Die maximale Länge ist durch die Ausdehnungen des Blatts gegeben. Der Stiel soll nicht oder nicht wesentlich permanent über die Querschnittsfläche des Blatts hinausragen, weil dies sonst zu Verletzungen durch den hinausragenden Teil führen könnte. Der Stiel hat daher in der Regel eine Länge von zwischen 20 cm und 30 cm; bevorzugt sind 25 cm. Der Durchmesser des Griffrohres beträgt bevorzugt zwischen 15 mm und 40 mm, besonders bevorzugt zwischen 20 mm und 30 mm. Wenn man ein Rohr mit einem Durchmesser von 24 mm verwendet, kann man als Handgriff einen handelsüblichen Fahrradlenkergriff verwenden.The stem extends between the two holders of the leaf. It can therefore have any shape that ensures this function. In its simplest form, it can be a rod with a round cross-section. It is preferably tubular. The handle is so long that it can be held by the brackets on the one hand and that it can pick up or form the handle on the other hand. The minimum length is therefore determined by the distance between the brackets. This in turn is determined by the fact that the handle lies between the brackets and is therefore determined by the width of the hand of the athlete. The maximum length is given by the dimensions of the leaf. The stalk should not protrude, or not significantly, permanently beyond the cross-sectional area of the blade, because otherwise this could lead to injuries from the protruding part. The stem therefore usually has a length of between 20 cm and 30 cm; 25 cm are preferred. The diameter of the handle tube is preferably between 15 mm and 40 mm, particularly preferably between 20 mm and 30 mm. If you use a tube with a diameter of 24 mm, you can use a standard bicycle handlebar handle.

Der Stiel ist aus einem Material hergestellt, das fest genug ist, um den Handgriff in einer festen Position gegenüber dem Blatt zu halten. Hierzu eignen sich Metalle oder Kunststoffe. Wenn das Sportgerät besonders leicht sein soll, haben sich Leichtmetalle als bevorzugt erwiesen. Zudem darf es nicht korrodieren.The handle is made of a material that is strong enough to hold the handle in a fixed position relative to the blade. Metals or plastics are suitable for this. If the sports equipment is to be particularly light, light metals have proven to be preferred. In addition, it must not corrode.

Aluminium ist besonders bevorzugt, weil es in Wasser relativ korrosionsbeständig und dennoch sehr leicht ist. Soll das Sportgerät besonders preiswert sein, kann der Stiel auch aus Kunststoff bestehen, insbesondere aus dem Kunststoff, aus dem auch das Blatt besteht. Dies erleichtert auch die Herstellung, da dann das Sportgerät in einem Spritzgussschritt hergestellt werden kann.Aluminum is particularly preferred because it is relatively corrosion-resistant in water and yet very light. If the sports device is to be particularly inexpensive, the handle can also be made of plastic, in particular of the plastic from which the sheet is also made. This also simplifies production, since the sports equipment can then be produced in an injection molding step.

Der Handgriff kann Teil des Stiels sein oder ein an dem Stiel festgemachtes Bauteil, welches den Stiel größtenteils oder vollständig umfasst, sodass man den Stiel mit der Hand großenteils oder vollständig umgreifen kann. Die Größe der Hand bestimmt daher im Wesentlichen den Umfang des Handgriffs. Der Umfang liegt somit bevorzugt zwischen 8 cm und 20 cm.The handle can be part of the handle or a component attached to the handle, which largely or completely encompasses the handle, so that the handle can be largely or completely gripped by hand. The size of the hand therefore essentially determines the circumference of the handle. The circumference is therefore preferably between 8 cm and 20 cm.

In der einfachsten Form der Erfindung wird ein Teil des Stiels selbst als Handgriff verwendet. Dies ist sinnvoll, wenn das Sportgerät preisgünstig sein soll. In einer ersten Ausführung ist der Stiel ein langes Bauteil mit rundem Querschnitt, der so groß ist, dass man ihn mit der Hand gut greifen und festhalten kann. Der Durchmesser beträgt dann zwischen 2 cm und 6 cm, bevorzugt zwischen 2,5 cm und 4 cm, wobei ein geringer Durchmesser für kleinere Hände, wie bei Kindern, vorteilhaft ist. Ein getrennt angebrachter Handgriff ist dann nicht mehr nötig, da ein Teil des Stiels als Handgriff dient. Dies hat jedoch den Nachteil, dass es schwieriger ist, den Handgriff zu greifen und festzuhalten, ohne dass die Hand während der Übungen auf dem Stiel verrutscht.In the simplest form of the invention, part of the handle itself is used as a handle. This is useful if the sports equipment is to be inexpensive. In a first version, the handle is a long component with a round cross section that is so large that it can be gripped and held firmly by hand. The diameter is then between 2 cm and 6 cm, preferably between 2.5 cm and 4 cm, a small diameter being advantageous for smaller hands, such as in children. A separately attached handle is then no longer necessary, since part of the handle serves as a handle. However, this has the disadvantage that it is more difficult to grip and hold the handle without the hand slipping on the handle during the exercises.

Eine andere Ausführungsform ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass Stiel und Handgriff aus demselben Material bestehen, und der Handgriff aus dem Material des Stiels geformt ist, etwa, um eine bessere Greifbarkeit des Handgriffs zu gewährleisten. Diese Ausführungsform ist besonders einfach herzustellen, wenn das Sportgerät aus Kunststoff besteht, da das Gerät dann im Spritzgussverfahren hergestellt werden kann. In diesem Fall kann im Bereich des Handgriffs der Kunststoff ergonomisch geformt werden, so dass er griffig gestaltet ist.Another embodiment is characterized in that the handle and the handle are made of the same material, and the handle is formed from the material of the handle, for example in order to ensure better grip of the handle. This embodiment is particularly easy to manufacture if the sports device is made of plastic, since the device can then be manufactured by injection molding. In this case, the plastic can be ergonomically shaped in the area of the handle so that it is designed to be easy to grip.

In einer komfortableren oder besser zum Trainieren geeigneten Form ist der Handgriff am Stiel separat ausgeformt. Somit ist er von der Form des Stiels unabhängiger. Die Form ist so gestaltet, dass man sie mit der Hand gut festhalten kann. Dieser kann etwa die Form und Größe eines herkömmlichen Fahrradlenkerhandgriffs aus Weichkunststoff haben. Damit die Hand nicht in Richtung der Halterungen abrutschen kann, können Verbreiterungen an den Seiten des Handgriffs vorgesehen werden. In einer Ausführungsform ist der Handgriff ein zylinderförmiges Stück aus Gummi, welches bei dem Einbau des Stiels aus Aluminiumrohr an die gewünschte Stelle aufgeschoben wird.In a more comfortable or more suitable form for training, the handle on the handle is shaped separately. It is therefore more independent of the shape of the stem. The shape is designed so that it can be held firmly by hand. This can have the shape and size of a conventional bicycle handlebar handle made of soft plastic. So that the hand cannot slip in the direction of the holders, extensions can be provided on the sides of the handle. In a In one embodiment, the handle is a cylindrical piece made of rubber, which is pushed onto the desired position when the handle made of aluminum tube is installed.

Das Material des Handgriffs wird je nach gewünschter Ausgestaltung gewählt. Besonders geeignet sind weiche Kunststoffe, die sich einfach verarbeiten lassen, hautfreundlich und griffsicher sind.The material of the handle is chosen depending on the desired design. Soft plastics that are easy to process, skin-friendly and secure to the touch are particularly suitable.

Der Handgriff kann sich an irgendeiner Stelle zwischen den Halterungen befinden. Damit eine bessere Trainingsleistung erzielt werden kann, ist der Handgriff auf dem Stiel fixiert, sodass das Sportgerät immer an derselben Stelle fest ergriffen wird. Diese wird bevorzugt so gewählt, dass sich die Kraft von der Hand möglichst gleichmäßig auf das Sportgerät verteilt, damit die gegen den Wasserwiderstand wirksame Fläche möglichst senkrecht zur Bewegungsrichtung des Sportgeräts liegt. Diese Stelle wird bei einem symmetrisch ausgeformten Blatt bevorzugt in das dem Daumen näheren, vordere Drittel des Stiels gelegt, vorausgesetzt, dass sich die Halterungen jeweils an den äußeren Enden des Blatts befinden. Wenn der Wasserwiderstand auf einer Seite des Blatts erhöht ist, wird der Handgriff sinnvollerweise weiter auf diese Seite hin verschoben sein. Dies dient einer gleichmäßigeren Trainingsweise.The handle can be anywhere between the brackets. In order to achieve better training performance, the handle is fixed on the handle so that the sports equipment is always firmly gripped in the same place. This is preferably chosen so that the force from the hand is distributed as evenly as possible to the sports equipment, so that the surface effective against the water resistance is as perpendicular as possible to the direction of movement of the sports equipment. In the case of a symmetrically shaped blade, this location is preferably placed in the front third of the stem, which is closer to the thumb, provided that the holders are in each case at the outer ends of the blade. If the water resistance on one side of the blade is increased, the handle will usefully be shifted further to this side. This serves to make training more even.

Die Halterungen verbinden das Blatt mit dem Stiel. Diese Verbindung kann permanent, aber auch temporär sein. Während des Trainings sollte eine sichere Befestigung des Blatts an dem Stiel gewährleistet sein. Soll das Sportgerät zerlegbar sein, können Halterungen gewählt werden, bei denen der Stiel oder das Blatt aus der Halterung genommen werden können, oder bei denen die Halterungen gelöst werden können. Eine Ausführungsform mit permanenter Verbindung ergibt sich, wenn das Sportgerät aus einem einzigen Material, beispielsweise Kunststoff, im Spritzgussverfahren hergestellt werden soll. Bei mehrschrittigen Herstellverfahren können die Halterung permanent an dem Blatt oder dem Stiel befestigt sein und zum Fertigstellen oder Bereitstellen des Sportgeräts mit dem Stiel oder dem Blatt verbunden werden. Die Verbindung kann nach herkömmlichen Methoden geschehen. Hierzu eignen sich Einschieben, Verschrauben, Einklemmen, Einrasten oder eine Kombination einer oder mehrerer dieser Methoden.The brackets connect the blade to the stem. This connection can be permanent, but also temporary. The blade should be securely attached to the stem during exercise. If the sports equipment can be disassembled, holders can be selected in which the handle or the leaf can be removed from the holder, or in which the holders can be released. An embodiment with a permanent connection is obtained if the sports equipment is to be produced from a single material, for example plastic, by injection molding. In multi-step manufacturing processes, the holder can be permanently attached to the blade or the handle and can be connected to the handle or blade to complete or provide the sports equipment. The connection can be made using conventional methods. Pushing, screwing, clamping, snapping or a combination of one or more of these methods are suitable for this.

In einer ersten Ausführungsform befinden sich die Halterungen auf der Seite des Blatts bzw. des Sportgeräts, auf der sich auch der Stiel befindet und die auf der Seite der Bewegungsrichtung des Geräts liegt. Bevorzugt umschließt die Fläche des Blatts den Raum um den Handgriff zu zwischen 5 % und 75 %.In a first embodiment, the holders are located on the side of the blade or of the sports device on which the stem is also located and which is on the side of the direction of movement of the device. The area of the sheet preferably encloses between 5% and 75% of the space around the handle.

Die Halterungen haben eine Aufnahme für den Stiel, in der dieser dann durch Schrauben befestigt ist. Die Halterungen sind so weit voneinander an dem Blatt befestigt, dass auf dem Stiel noch Platz für den Handgriff ist.The brackets have a receptacle for the handle, in which this is then attached by screws. The brackets are attached to the blade so far apart that there is still space for the handle on the handle.

In einer anderen Ausführungsform können beide Halterungen in Form von Öffnungen in dem Blatt ausgeführt sein.In another embodiment, both holders can be designed in the form of openings in the sheet.

In der erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung der Halterungen und des Stiels an dem Blatt ist die erste Halterung Teil des Blatts auf der Seite des Sportgeräts, die auf der Seite der Bewegungsrichtung liegt. Dazu ist ein Bauteil an dem einen Ende des Blatts vorgesehen, das in Bewegungsrichtung auf den Stiel zu ragt und eine Aufnahme für den Stiel hat, beispielsweise eine runde Öffnung mit der Außenform des Stiels. Der Stiel ist in der Aufnahme zum einen verschraubt und auf der anderen Seite festgeklemmt. Die zweite Halterung wird durch ein Loch in dem Blatt gebildet, in welche der Stiel aufgenommen ist, beispielsweise ein rundes Loch mit der Außenform des Stiels, welches von der Innenseite des Blatts auf die Außenseite reicht, durch welches der Stiel von der Innenseite nach außen reichen kann. Befestigungsmittel, wie Schrauben oder Klemmen, können dann auf der Innen- oder der Außenseite des Blatts vorgesehen sein. Auch hier sind die beiden Halterungen so weit voneinander auf dem Blatt entfernt, dass zwischen ihnen Platz für den Stiel mit dem Handgriff ist.In the arrangement of the holders and the handle on the blade according to the invention, the first holder is part of the blade on the side of the sports device that lies on the side of the direction of movement. For this purpose, a component is provided at one end of the blade, which projects towards the handle in the direction of movement and has a receptacle for the handle, for example a round opening with the outer shape of the handle. The handle is screwed into the holder on the one hand and clamped on the other side. The second bracket is formed by a hole in the blade into which the stem is received, for example a round hole with the outer shape of the stem which extends from the inside of the blade to the outside, through which the stem extends from the inside to the outside can. Fasteners, such as screws or clamps, can then be provided on the inside or the outside of the sheet. Again, the two brackets are so far apart on the blade that there is space for the handle with the handle between them.

Die Halterungen und der Stiel dienen auch dazu, den Handgriff so weit von dem Blatt entfernt zu halten, dass die Hand beim Ergreifen des Sportgeräts am Handgriff und insbesondere bei den Übungen nicht direkt in Kontakt mit dem Blatt kommt. Dies ist gewährleistet, wenn der Abstand des Handgriffs von dem Blatt mehr als 5 cm beträgt. Vorteilhaft beträgt der Abstand zwischen 5,5 und 11 cm.The brackets and the handle also serve to hold the handle so far away from the blade that the hand does not come into direct contact with the blade when gripping the sports equipment by the handle and especially during the exercises. This is ensured if the distance between the handle and the blade is more than 5 cm. The distance is advantageously between 5.5 and 11 cm.

In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist das Blatt geformt aus einer stark abgerundeten, rechteckigen, geschwungenen Kunststoffplatte mit einer Breite von 20 cm und einer Länge von über 30 cm, aber maximal 50 cm. Die Ränder der Platte sind in Richtung des Handgriffs gebogen, sodass sich ein hohler Innenraum bildet, wobei der Rand auf der einen Seite über den Stiel hinausragt, sodass der Stiel durch eine Öffnung in der Platte vom Innenraum nach außen ragt.In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the sheet is formed from a strongly rounded, rectangular, curved plastic plate with a width of 20 cm and a length of over 30 cm, but a maximum of 50 cm. The edges of the plate are bent in the direction of the handle, so that a hollow interior is formed, the edge protruding on one side over the handle, so that the handle protrudes outwards from the interior through an opening in the plate.

Das erfindungsgemäße Sportgerät kann nach herkömmlichen Verfahren hergestellt werden. Wenn das Sportgerät gänzlich aus Kunststoff besteht, kann es im Spritzgussverfahren aus einem thermoplastischen Kunststoff, wie PP und PE hergestellt werden. Das Blatt einschließlich der Halterungen wird bevorzugt im Spritzgussverfahren aus PP gefertigt. Wenn einzelne Bauteile aus anderen Kunststoffen, beispielsweise weicheren Materialien, bestehen sollen, wie der Handgriff, kann das Sportgerät im Zweikomponentenspritzgussverfahren hergestellt werden. Wenn das Sportgerät aus unterschiedlichen Materialien besteht, können die einzelnen Bauteile getrennt hergestellt und diese dann zusammengebaut werden. Dies ist der Fall, wenn einzelne Bauteile, wie der Stiel, aus Metallen bestehen sollen, andere aus Kunststoff.The sports device according to the invention can be manufactured by conventional methods. If the sports device is made entirely of plastic, it can be injection molded from a thermoplastic, such as PP and PE. The sheet including the brackets is preferred in Injection molding process made of PP. If individual components are to be made of other plastics, for example softer materials, such as the handle, the sports equipment can be manufactured using the two-component injection molding process. If the sports equipment consists of different materials, the individual components can be manufactured separately and then assembled. This is the case if individual components, such as the handle, are to consist of metals, others of plastic.

Das erfindungsgemäße Sportgerät kann zum Betreiben von Wassersport verwendet werden. Dazu zählt Sport, der im Wasser auf einer Stelle betrieben wird. Hierzu begibt sich der Sportler ins Wasser, stehend oder frei beweglich, ergreift das Sportgerät mit einer Hand fest am Handgriff und bewegt das Sportgerät durch das Wasser. Die Bewegung kann sowohl horizontal als auch vertikal erfolgen. Die Kraftanstrengung und somit der Trainingseffekt kann dadurch angepasst werden, dass das Sportgerät so am Handgriff ergriffen wird, dass sich unterschiedliche Anstellwinkel des Blatts zur Bewegungsrichtung ergeben. Der Kraftaufwand ist am höchsten, wenn der cw-Wert den größten Wert erreicht. Dies ist in der Regel der Fall, wenn die hinsichtlich einer bestimmten Bewegungsrichtung für den Wasserwiderstand wirksame Fläche des Blatts am größten ist. Man kann die gleichen Übungen mit viel oder mit wenig Kraftaufwand gestalten. Ein Beispiel für eine Übung mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Sportgerät ist das Ergreifen des Handgriffs mit ausgestrecktem Arm so, dass der Innenraum des Blatts auf den Sportler zu zeigt, Bewegung des Sportgeräts in Richtung des Sportlers durch Anspannen der Armmuskulatur und danach Rückführung des Sportgeräts in die Ausgangsposition. Eine andere Übung ist das Ergreifen des Sportgeräts durch die Hand mit nach vorne ausgestrecktem Arm so, dass der Innenraum des Sportgeräts nach unten zeigt, Bewegung des ausgestreckten Arms mit dem Sportgerät nach unten und Rückführung des Sportgeräts in die Ausgangsposition. Im Gegensatz zu vielen anderen Sportgeräten (wie elastischen Bändern) wird die Muskulatur hierbei nicht nur beim Beugen der Armmuskulatur trainiert, sondern auch beim Strecken der Armmuskulatur während der Rückführung in die Ausgangsposition. Die Bewegung im Wasser sorgt ferner dafür, dass Ausgleichsbewegungen im ganzen Körper erforderlich werden, damit der Körper auf der Stelle verbleibt und nicht nach vorne oder rückwärts umfällt. Somit wird auch die Stabilisationsmuskulatur der Wirbelsäule trainiert. Das erfindungsgemäße Sportgerät sorgt daher für eine schonende Belastung einer Vielzahl von Muskelgruppen durch eine sanfte Kraftentwicklung.The sports device according to the invention can be used for water sports. This includes sports that are carried out in one place in the water. To do this, the athlete goes into the water, standing or moving freely, grips the sports equipment firmly with one hand on the handle and moves the sports equipment through the water. The movement can take place both horizontally and vertically. The effort and thus the training effect can be adjusted by grasping the sports equipment on the handle in such a way that the blade has different angles of attack to the direction of movement. The effort is greatest when the c w value reaches the greatest value. This is usually the case when the area of the blade that is effective for the water resistance with regard to a specific direction of movement is the largest. You can do the same exercises with a lot or little effort. An example of an exercise with the sports device according to the invention is the gripping of the handle with the arm extended so that the interior of the blade points to the athlete, movement of the sports device in the direction of the athlete by tightening the arm muscles and then returning the sports device to the starting position. Another exercise is gripping the sports equipment by hand with the arm extended forward so that the interior of the sports equipment points downward, moving the extended arm with the sports equipment downward and returning the sports equipment to the starting position. In contrast to many other sports equipment (such as elastic bands), the muscles are not only trained when flexing the arm muscles, but also when the arm muscles are stretched while returning to the starting position. Movement in the water also means that balancing movements are required throughout the body so that the body remains in place and does not fall forward or backward. This also trains the spinal stabilization muscles. The sports device according to the invention therefore ensures a gentle load on a large number of muscle groups through gentle strength development.

Das erfindungsgemäße Sportgerät kann jedoch auch zur Fortbewegung durch das Wasser verwendet werden. Eine Möglichkeit hierzu besteht beim Schwimmen im bekannten Kraulstil. Hierzu ergreift jede Hand eines der erfindungsgemäßen Sportgeräte. Abwechselnd wird ein Sportgerät durch die Luft von hinten nach vorne geführt, während das andere von vorne nach hinten durch das Wasser gezogen wird. Der durch das Blatt erzeugte Wasserwiderstand wird in eine Bewegung des Sportlers nach vorne umgesetzt. Der Einsatz des erfindungsgemäßen Sportgeräts zum Schwimmen ist nicht ganz so einfach wie es erscheint, aber geübte Schwimmer können die neuen Techniken schnell erlernen.However, the sports device according to the invention can also be used for locomotion through the water. One way to do this is to swim in the familiar crawl style. For this purpose, each hand grips one of the sports equipment according to the invention. Alternately, one piece of sports equipment is guided through the air from back to front, while the other is pulled through the water from front to back. The water resistance generated by the leaf is converted into a movement of the athlete forward. Using the sports device according to the invention for swimming is not as easy as it appears, but experienced swimmers can quickly learn the new techniques.

Das erfindungsgemäße Blatt hat eine bevorzugt eine geschwungene, ovale, längliche Form. Das besagte Blatt beschreibt die Form einer Schaufel, welche im Längsverlauf mittig einen Griff hat. Das erfindungsgemäße Sportgerät hat in der Regel eine Länge von ca. 30 cm, eine Breite von ca. 20 cm und an der tiefsten Stelle eine Tiefe von ca. 12 cm bis 15 cm.The sheet according to the invention preferably has a curved, oval, elongated shape. The said blade describes the shape of a shovel which has a handle in the middle in the longitudinal direction. The sports device according to the invention generally has a length of approximately 30 cm, a width of approximately 20 cm and at the deepest point a depth of approximately 12 cm to 15 cm.

Das erfindungsgemäße Sportgerät kann noch weitere Bauteile enthalten. Dies kann ein Bauteil sein, das zur Verbindung mit einem weiteren Sportgerät verwendet werden kann. Wenn das andere Sportgerät ein weiteres erfindungsgemäßes Sportgerät ist, ist das Bauteil bevorzugt ein Verbindungsstück, beispielsweise ein Verbindungsstiel, der an dem zweiten Exemplar des Sportgeräts befestigt werden kann. Zur Befestigung dieses Verbindungsstiels sind Halterungen entweder an dem Verbindungsstiel oder an einem oder beiden Sportgeräten vorhanden. Wegen der schnellen Lösbarkeit sind Klemmhalterungen bevorzugt. In einer Ausführungsform wird eine der Halterungen jeder der beiden Sportgeräte, die zur Befestigung des Stiels an dem Blatt dienen, auch zur Befestigung des Verbindungsstiels verwendet.The sports device according to the invention can also contain further components. This can be a component that can be used to connect to another piece of sports equipment. If the other sports device is a further sports device according to the invention, the component is preferably a connecting piece, for example a connecting handle, which can be attached to the second copy of the sports device. To attach this connecting handle, brackets are available either on the connecting handle or on one or both sports equipment. Because of the quick detachability, clamp brackets are preferred. In one embodiment, one of the brackets of each of the two sports equipment used to attach the handle to the blade is also used to attach the connecting handle.

Die Form des Verbindungsstücks oder Verbindungsstiels ist so gewählt, dass die beiden verbundenen Sportgeräte jeweils mit einer Hand an jeweils einem Handgriff erfasst werden können und er die beiden einzelnen Sportgeräte, vorzugsweise über deren Stiele, miteinander fest verbindet. Dazu ist der Verbindungsstiel so lang, dass die beiden Sportgeräte einen zum Training ausreichenden Abstand voneinander haben. In einer komfortableren Version ist die Länge des Verbindungsstiels variabel, sodass unterschiedliche Übungen trainiert werden können. In der Regel ist der Verbindungsstiel so lang, dass der Verbindungsstiel komplett in dem erfindungsgemäßen Sportgerät versenkt werden kann, so dass nichts heraussteht. Dies vermeidet die Verletzungsgefahr. Der Abstand zwischen den Handgriffen der beiden Sportgeräte beträgt zwischen 40 cm und 1,2 m, bevorzugt zwischen 50 cm und 1 m. Eine vorteilhafte Ausführungsform ergibt sich, wenn der Verbindungsstiel eine äußere Form hat, die in das Innere des Stiels des ersten Sportgeräts aufgenommen werden kann, sodass sie darin aufbewahrt werden kann. Dazu handelt es sich bei dem Stiel des ersten Sportgeräts bevorzugt um ein hohles Rohr mit einem ersten Innendurchmesser, und bei dem Verbindungsstiel um ein Rohr mit einem Außendurchmesser, der etwas kleiner ist als der Innendurchmesser des Stiels des ersten Sportgeräts. Die Rohre sind bevorzugt gerade.The shape of the connecting piece or connecting rod is chosen so that the two connected sports equipment can be grasped with one hand on each handle and it firmly connects the two individual sports equipment, preferably via their handles. The connecting handle is so long that the two sports equipment are at a sufficient distance from each other for training. In a more comfortable version, the length of the connecting rod is variable so that different exercises can be trained. As a rule, the connecting handle is so long that the connecting handle can be completely sunk in the sports device according to the invention, so that nothing protrudes. This avoids the Risk of injury. The distance between the handles of the two sports equipment is between 40 cm and 1.2 m, preferably between 50 cm and 1 m. An advantageous embodiment results when the connecting handle has an outer shape that can be accommodated in the interior of the handle of the first sports device so that it can be stored therein. For this purpose, the handle of the first sports device is preferably a hollow tube with a first inner diameter, and the connecting handle is a tube with an outer diameter that is somewhat smaller than the inner diameter of the handle of the first sports device. The tubes are preferably straight.

Gegenstand der Erfindung ist also ein Set enthaltend zwei erfindungsgemäße Sportgeräte. Mit diesem können beide Arme gleichzeitig trainiert werden, wenn je ein Sportgerät mit der rechten und der linken Hand ergriffen und im Wasser bewegt wird. Wenn diese Sportgeräte nicht miteinander verbunden sind, können Übungen durchgeführt werden, bei denen die beiden Hände Bewegungen in unterschiedliche Richtungen machen. Beispielsweise kann das erste Sportgerät nach unten bewegt werden, während das zweite nach oben bewegt wird.The invention therefore relates to a set comprising two sports equipment according to the invention. With this, both arms can be trained at the same time if one piece of sports equipment is gripped with the right and the left hand and moved in the water. If these sports equipment are not connected to each other, exercises can be carried out in which the two hands make movements in different directions. For example, the first sports device can be moved down while the second is moved up.

Dieses Set kann weiterhin einen Verbindungsstiel zur Befestigung der beiden Sportgeräte aneinander enthalten. Dieser kann lose in dem Set enthalten sein, aber auch an einem der beiden Sportgeräte befestigt sein. Dieses Set kann die einzelnen Sportgeräte in voneinander getrennter Form als Set enthalten, die einzelnen Sportgeräte können jedoch auch schon miteinander über das Verbindungsstück verbunden sein.This set can also contain a connecting handle for fastening the two sports equipment together. This can be included loose in the set, but can also be attached to one of the two sports equipment. This set can contain the individual sports equipment in a separate form as a set, but the individual sports equipment can also be connected to one another via the connecting piece.

Gegenstand der Erfindung ist ferner ein Sportgerät enthaltend zwei der oben geschilderten erfindungsgemäßen Sportgeräte mit jeweils einem Blatt, die durch ein Verbindungsstück oder einen Verbindungsstiel miteinander fest verbunden sind. Mit diesem Sportgerät können dann beide Arme trainiert werden. Hierzu greift jede Hand einen der beiden Handgriffe und bewegt das Sportgerät im Wesentlichen senkrecht zu den Handgriffen. Wenn der Abstand der Handgriffe, beispielsweise durch unterschiedlich lange Verbindungsstiele, verändert wird, können unterschiedliche Muskelgruppen trainiert werden.The invention further relates to a sports device containing two of the sports devices according to the invention described above, each with a leaf, which are firmly connected to one another by a connecting piece or a connecting handle. This arm can then be used to train both arms. For this purpose, each hand grips one of the two handles and moves the sports equipment essentially perpendicular to the handles. If the distance between the handles is changed, for example by connecting rods of different lengths, different muscle groups can be trained.

Ein weiterer Gegenstand der Erfindung ist die Verwendung des erfindungsgemäßen Geräts zum Betreiben von Wassersport mit Hilfe der Hände. Ein Beispiel für Wassersport ist Schwimmen. Bevorzugt ist Wassersport durch Bewegung des Sportgeräts entweder abwechselnd aufwärts und abwärts oder zum Körper hin und zurück.Another object of the invention is the use of the device according to the invention for the practice of water sports with the help of the hands. An example of water sports is swimming. Water sports by moving the Sports equipment either alternately up and down or to the body back and forth.

In Figur 1 ist schematisch eine erste Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Sportgeräts (10) gezeigt. Es weist ein Blatt (11) auf, die eine Daumenseite (18) und eine Kleinfingerseite (19) aufweist. Auf ihrer Daumenseite (18) ist das Blatt mit einer ersten Halterung (14) an einem Stiel (12) in Form eines Rohrs befestigt. Bei der Halterung (14) handelt es sich um eine Klemmhalterung, die eine Aufnahmeöffnung aufweist, die das Rohr bis auf einen Schlitz umgibt. In der gezeigten Ausführungsform ragt der Stiel (12) durch das Blatt (11) hindurch, die Halterung (14) umfasst die Aufnahmeöffnung für den Stiel (12). Die Halterung reicht vom Handgriff her gesehen auf die Außenseite des Blatts. Durch Festdrehen der Feststellschraube (15) wird der Schlitz verkleinert und der Umfang der Öffnung reduziert, wodurch die Halterung das Rohr festklemmt. Auf ihrer Kleinfingerseite (19) ist das Blatt mit der zweiten Halterung (16) an dem Stiel (12) befestigt. Die Halterung (16) bringt einen ausreichenden Abstand zwischen das Blatt von dem Stiel und weist ebenfalls eine Aufnahmeöffnung auf, die das Rohr bis auf einen Schlitz umgibt. Auf der dem Blatt (11) abgewandten Seite des Stiels ist die Halterung (16) mit einer Feststellschraube (17) versehen. Durch Festdrehen der Feststellschraube (17) wird der Schlitz verkleinert und der Umfang der Öffnung reduziert, wodurch das Rohr in der Halterung (16) festklemmt wird.In Figure 1 a first embodiment of the sports device (10) according to the invention is shown schematically. It has a sheet (11) which has a thumb side (18) and a little finger side (19). On its thumb side (18), the sheet is fastened to a stem (12) in the form of a tube with a first holder (14). The holder (14) is a clamp holder which has a receiving opening which surrounds the tube except for a slot. In the embodiment shown, the stem (12) protrudes through the leaf (11), the holder (14) comprises the receiving opening for the stem (12). The holder extends from the handle to the outside of the sheet. By tightening the locking screw (15) the slot is reduced and the circumference of the opening is reduced, whereby the holder clamps the pipe. On its little finger side (19), the sheet is fastened to the stem (12) with the second holder (16). The holder (16) places a sufficient distance between the blade and the stem and also has a receiving opening which surrounds the tube except for a slot. The holder (16) is provided with a locking screw (17) on the side of the stem facing away from the blade (11). By tightening the locking screw (17), the slot is reduced and the circumference of the opening is reduced, whereby the tube is clamped in the holder (16).

Zwischen den Halterungen (14, 16) weist der Stiel den Handgriff (13) auf. Er ist in der Zeichnung zur besseren Erkennbarkeit mit umlaufenden Rillen gekennzeichnet. Er umschließt das Rohr und dient zum Ergreifen des Sportgeräts (10) mit der Hand und zum Festhalten während der Sportübungen. Dabei kommt der Daumen beim Ergreifen mit der linken Hand vom Betrachter her gesehen in Figur 1 auf der rechten Seite des Handgriffs, der Daumenseite (20) des Handgriffs, zu liegen, der kleine Finger links davon, in der Nähe der Kleinfingerseite (21) des Handgriffs. Der Handgriff (12) befindet sich auf der Innenseite (25) des Blatts. Natürlich kann man die Griffmethode diametral umgekehrt nutzen.The handle has the handle (13) between the holders (14, 16). It is marked with circumferential grooves in the drawing for better visibility. It surrounds the tube and is used to grasp the sports device (10) by hand and to hold on during the sports exercises. The thumb comes in when gripped with the left hand as seen by the viewer Figure 1 to lie on the right side of the handle, the thumb side (20) of the handle, the little finger to the left of it, near the little finger side (21) of the handle. The handle (12) is located on the inside (25) of the sheet. Of course you can use the grip method diametrically reversed.

Figur 2 zeigt schematisch das erfindungsgemäße Sportgerät mit einem Verbindungsstiel (22). Dabei entsprechen die Bedeutungen der Bauteile mit den Bezugszeichen mit den Bezeichnungen A den Bezugszeichen in Figur 1 ohne Bezeichnung A. Der Verbindungsstiel (22) ist als Verlängerung des Rohrs ausgebildet, welches einen geringfügig kleineren Außendurchmesser hat als dar Rohr, welches den Stiel (12A) bildet. Daher kann der Verbindungsstiel (22) in das Rohr eingeschoben und darin versenkt werden. Ferner wird der Verbindungsstiel (22) durch die Halterung (16) im Stiel (12) festgeklemmt, sodass er nicht vollständig aus dem Stiel herausgezogen werden kann. Die Halterung (14A) ist eine Öffnung in dem Blatt, die Befestigung geschieht durch eine Schraube auf der Außenseite (26) des Blatts. Figure 2 shows schematically the sports device according to the invention with a connecting handle (22). The meanings of the components with the reference symbols with the designations A correspond to the reference symbols in Figure 1 without designation A. The connecting stem (22) is designed as an extension of the tube, which has a slightly smaller outer diameter than the tube, which the Stalk (12A) forms. Therefore, the connecting rod (22) can be inserted into the tube and recessed therein. Furthermore, the connecting stem (22) is clamped by the holder (16) in the stem (12), so that it cannot be completely pulled out of the stem. The holder (14A) is an opening in the sheet, the attachment is done by a screw on the outside (26) of the sheet.

Figur 3 zeigt schematisch das erfindungsgemäße Sportgerät mit einem Verbindungsstiel (22), in dem es mit einem weiteren erfindungsgemäßen Exemplar des Sportgeräts über den Verbindungsstiel fest verbunden ist. Die Bezugszeichen des zweiten Sportgeräts haben die ergänzende Bezeichnung B, entsprechen jedoch ansonsten den Bezugszeichen des ersten Sportgeräts. Das zweite Sportgerät ist mit dem Verbindungsstiel (22) ebenfalls über eine der Halterung (16A) im ersten Sportgerät entsprechende Halterung (16B) des zweiten Sportgeräts fest verbunden. Dadurch sind die Sportgeräte spiegelbildlich über den Verbindungsstiel miteinander verbunden. Dies ermöglicht das Greifen des Handgriffs des ersten Sportgeräts mit der linken Hand (23) und des Handgriffs des zweiten Sportgeräts mit der rechten Hand (24). Dabei zeigen die Daumenseiten der Hände bevorzugt aufeinander zu. Für eine andere Übung kann der Griff wieder diametral entgegengesetzt durchgeführt werden. Figure 3 shows schematically the sports device according to the invention with a connecting handle (22), in which it is firmly connected to another copy of the sports device according to the invention via the connecting handle. The reference symbols of the second sports device have the additional designation B, but otherwise correspond to the reference symbols of the first sports device. The second sports device is also firmly connected to the connecting rod (22) via a bracket (16B) of the second sports device corresponding to the bracket (16A) in the first sports device. As a result, the sports equipment is connected to each other in mirror image via the connecting handle. This enables gripping the handle of the first sports device with the left hand (23) and the handle of the second sports device with the right hand (24). The thumb sides of the hands preferably point towards each other. For another exercise, the grip can again be performed diametrically opposite.

Figur 4 zeigt ein erfindungsgemäßes Sportgerät wie in den Beispielen hergestellt und benutzt von der Seite gesehen. Zu sehen sind das Blatt (11), der Verlängerungsstiel (22) und der Handgriff (13). Figure 4 shows a sports device according to the invention as produced in the examples and used seen from the side. You can see the leaf (11), the extension handle (22) and the handle (13).

Das geschwungene Blatt besteht aus Polypropylen der Form wie sie in Figur 4 gezeigt ist. Es wird im Spritzgussverfahren hergestellt. Die zwei Halterungen bestehen ebenfalls aus Polypropylen und werden während des Spritzgusses an dem Blatt befestigt. Die dem abgeflachten Teil des Blattes näherliegende Halterung hat eine kreisrunde Öffnung mit einem lichten Durchmesser von 2,5 cm und einem Schlitz in dessen Umfang von 0,4 mm lichter Weite, der zum Festklemmen des Stiels in der Öffnung mittels einer Schraube verkleinert werden kann. Die zweite Halterung wird durch ein Loch auf der steileren Seite des Blatts gebildet. Die Öffnung ist ebenfalls 2,5 cm weit und weist auf der Außenseite des Blatts eine Klemmvorrichtung derselben Bauart wie bei der anderen Halterung auf.The curved sheet is made of polypropylene of the shape shown in Figure 4 is shown. It is made by injection molding. The two brackets are also made of polypropylene and are attached to the sheet during injection molding. The holder closer to the flattened part of the sheet has a circular opening with a clear diameter of 2.5 cm and a slot in the circumference of 0.4 mm inside width, which can be reduced by means of a screw to clamp the stem in the opening. The second bracket is formed by a hole on the steeper side of the blade. The opening is also 2.5 cm wide and has a clamping device on the outside of the sheet of the same type as that of the other holder.

Ein gerades Stück eines Fahrradlenkers mit einem Außendurchmesser von 2,4 cm wird durch die zweite Halterung in den Innenraum des Blatts eingeführt. Dann wird ein Fahrradlenkergriff aus Gummi, dessen äußeres Ende abgeschnitten wurde, damit das Rohr wieder aus dem Griff austreten kann, auf den Fahrradlenker geschoben, bis das Rohr wieder aus dem Griff herausragt, und der Fahrradlenker weiter in das Blatt geschoben, bis er in die erste Halterung eingeführt werden kann. Dort wird er mit einer Schraube festgeklemmt. Danach wird auch der Schlitz der zweiten Halterung durch Anziehen der Schraube geschlossen und somit der Stiel in den Halterungen befestigt. Danach wird der Griff in seine endgültige Position gebracht.A straight piece of a bicycle handlebar with an outer diameter of 2.4 cm is inserted through the second holder into the interior of the blade. Then a rubber bicycle handlebar, the outer end of which has been cut off so that the tube can come out of the handle again, is pushed onto the bicycle handlebar until the tube protrudes again from the handle, and the bicycle handlebar is pushed further into the sheet until it fits into the first bracket can be inserted. There it is clamped with a screw. Then the slot of the second bracket is also closed by tightening the screw, thus fixing the handle in the brackets. The handle is then brought into its final position.

Beispiel 2 - Schwimmen mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Sportgerät mit einem BlattExample 2 - Swimming with the sports device according to the invention with one sheet A) BrustschwimmenA) Breaststroke

Beim Brustschwimmen sind fast alle Muskeln im Einsatz. Hierfür hält man das Sportgerät vor sich und zieht in gewohnter Weise in einer Kreisbewegung nach hinten unten weg. Dann macht man mit den Handgelenken eine Aufwärtsdrehbewegung und schiebt das Sportgerät mit wenig bis keinem Widerstand wieder nach vorne. Die Beinbewegung wird normal durchgeführt.Almost all muscles are used in breaststroke swimming. To do this, hold the sports equipment in front of you and pull away in a circular motion backwards and downwards in the usual way. Then you make an upward turning movement with your wrists and pushes the sports equipment forward with little to no resistance. The leg movement is carried out normally.

B) KraulschwimmenB) Freestyle swimming

Beim Kraulschwimmen sind ebenfalls fast alle Muskeln im Einsatz. Die Technik ist auch leicht zu erlernen, wenn man ein paar Dinge in dem Bewegungsablauf verändert. Man taucht eines der Sportgeräte vor sich ein und zieht es nach hinten unten weg. Dann macht man mit den Handgelenken eine Einwärtsdrehbewegung und reduziert somit den Widerstand. Während die erste Hand nun das Wasser in Höhe der Hüfte verlässt um nach vorne zu stoßen, taucht die andere Hand ins Wasser ein und macht die selbe Bewegung wie vorher beschrieben. Die Beinbewegung wird normal durchgeführt.Almost all muscles are used in crawl swimming. The technique is also easy to learn if you change a few things in the movement. You immerse one of the sports equipment in front of you and pull it away towards the bottom and back. Then you make an inward turning movement with the wrists and thus reduce the resistance. While the first hand now leaves the water at the waist to push forward, the other hand dips into the water and makes the same movement as described before. The leg movement is carried out normally.

C) RückenschwimmenC) backstroke

Beim Rückenschwimmen sind auch wieder fast alle Muskeln im Einsatz. Bei der Technik legt man sich auf den Rücken und streckt die Arme seitwärts im Wasser aus. Dann zieht man die Blätter zu sich an die Oberschenkel. Dort verringert man durch Drehung der Handgelenke den Widerstand der Blätter und streckt sie in Brusthöhe wieder aus. Dann beginnt die Bewegung von vorne. Die Beinbewegung wird wie beim Brustschwimmen durchgeführt.Almost all muscles are used in backstroke again. In the technique, you lie on your back and stretch your arms sideways in the water. Then you pull the sheets towards you on the thighs. There you reduce the resistance of the leaves by turning the wrists and stretch them out again at chest height. Then the movement starts again. The leg movement is carried out like swimming with the breast.

D) RückenkraulenD) Back cranking

Beim Rückenkraulen sind auch wieder fast alle Muskeln im Einsatz. Man legt sich auf den Rücken und streckt einen Arm nach hinten aus. Dann zieht man das ein Blatt mit einer halben Drehbewegung im halben Bogen zum Gesäß. Wenn die eine Hand dort angelangt ist, taucht man die andere Hand hinter sich im Wasser ein. Die Hand, welche den ersten Schlag gemacht hat, taucht aus dem Wasser auf und zieht in gewohnter Weise nach hinten. Dann beginnt die Bewegung von vorne. Die Beinbewegung wird wie beim Kraulschwimmen durchgeführt.Almost all muscles are used again in the back crawl. You lie down on your back and stretch your arm back. Then you pull a sheet with a half turn in half a curve to the buttocks. When one hand has got there, you dip the other hand behind you in the water. The hand that made the first stroke emerges from the water and pulls backwards in the usual way. Then the movement starts again. The leg movement is carried out as with crawl swimming.
