The invention relates to a mobile training device for receiving weights, in particular for sports, wherein the training device from a back element and releasably hinged to this carrying system

There are shoulder straps, and on the back element and / or on the support system receiving areas for at least one weight, wherein the

Back member extending from the one end of the shoulder straps to the articulation of the lap belt.

definition

Training device is understood to mean a sports device with the defined purpose. It is an object that may consist of several parts that may be used to practice a sport or to

Training purposes is needed. This is for training specific skills needed to practice a sport. The speech in this connection is for example from the treadmill to the training of the

Stamina while running. Or also known by many people

Exercise bike for strength training or for targeted training of specific muscle groups. The training equipment can thus usually be assigned to any specific sport. For example, dumbbells can be used both by a strength athlete and by a swimmer for training purposes. The purpose of the exercise equipment is also the Train certain skills in all weather conditions or at any time of the day. Another function of these devices may also be to assist in enhancing or faster achievement of training. For example, a strength athlete achieves a faster growth of his biceps by exercising with a dumbbell.

State of the art

Carrying systems for backpacks are known in various designs and variants. These are suitable for holding a small backpack for a short hike up to a backpack with a lot of volume and pockets or subdivisions.

Common to almost all rucksacks is a carrying system with which they can be worn on the back of a person. In this case, a part of the backpack rests against the back of the wearer and the backpack is held on the back by means of two straps or shoulder straps over the shoulders of the wearer. Very often, backpacks continue to wrap around the waist or belly of the wearer to improve the position of the backpack. When the backpack surface on the back of the wearer are different variants of

Upholstery and ventilation known. Essentially, a distinction is made between full-surface contact with the back and a variant with a certain distance from the back. The full-surface contact back, also called back plate, in which the

Weight rests directly on the back and spread over the entire back, has the advantage that the backpack weight can be worn as ergonomic and close to the body. In this type of support, the center of gravity is closer to the center of gravity, allowing more upright and ergonomic walking and improving body balance in rough terrain. If such a carrying system is used for a backpack, which is filled with weights for physical training purposes, the center of gravity of the total weight shifts so that it is far away from the body axis, so that acts on the skeleton of the user a moment, which is negative affects the construction.

For example, from US 5,120,288 a carrying system is known which is suitable for holding a backpack-like receptacle. This

Receptacle serves to receive weights to achieve a training purpose while running or jogging. Due to the arrangement of the

Receptacle together with the weights creates a change in the center of gravity of the total weight and leads to an additional burden on physique, especially the skeletal structure. Another disadvantage is that this device can be worn and used exclusively for this purpose. The unnecessary weights must be stowed separately.

In weight lifting and fitness, free weights such as dumbbells and barbells have become established. Meanwhile, solutions are also known, such as the Powerbag or the Ultimate Sandbag, which serve the sporty power and coordination training with free weights. In these solutions, the supportive musculature can be stressed to a greater extent than when working with traditional weights, such as the presence of structural instability. Thus, power bags are partially loaded with a sand filling, which shifts arbitrarily during the exercises. This requires a high stabilization performance during lifting. However, previous solutions in the field of free weights have the disadvantage that the user always several versions and / or sizes are needed because the weight of the products is not or only variably adjustable. For example, from DE 20 2014 100 859 U 1 a container for

Loading loads suitable for such training purposes. The

Device relates to a universally applicable, mobile container for the introduction of loads, in particular for sporting activity and for the transport of loads, wherein the container has at least one surrounded by walls carcass, which can be loaded with loads of different nature, wherein at least one wall from one Straps, ribbons or

the same existing carrying system is provided. The present invention is used in particular for general resistance training in weight training and fitness and is used in the field of sports, fitness, mountain sports,

Walking and in all other areas where loads have to be moved with the help of the muscles.

If this container is worn like a backpack, the weight center of gravity of the container is far away from the body's center of gravity. This creates moments and burdens from the body and skeleton, which can have negative health consequences.

From US 2006/02291 73 AI a backpack-like training device is known. This training device includes a lockable container that is equipped with weights and a carrying system with which the container can be worn like a backpack. In the container weights are arranged in the form of dumbbells, kettlebells and weight discs. From WO 99/56831 AI a carrying system is known to which weights can be attached to the belt elements. Here are the shoulder straps

Shooting areas for the weights on. In addition, the lap belt is designed such that it can also absorb weights. Object of the invention

The object of the invention is to provide a training device, can be worn with the weights in particular for athletic and training purposes and used in other positions.

Solution of the task

The solution of the object is provided by a training device having the features of claim 1.

Advantages of the invention

The basic idea of the invention is that the weights, which are additionally worn or lifted for exercise and training, can be arranged with the carrying system so that they can be placed very close to the body, to avoid being caused by cantilevered loads Damage to the physique or skeleton construction arise. A particular embodiment provides that the weights can be arranged symmetrically to the body axis, so that no or only a small moment arises.

The carrying system is designed such that on the shoulder straps

Receiving areas are provided, which can be provided with weights. These can be given, for example, with magnets, hook-and-loop fasteners or small closable containers provided for this purpose. These containers are made of durable textile material or plastic boxes, so that this can take a small form. In addition, these may have the property that they adapt to the shape of the weights or the weights adapt to the design. The arrangement of these weights is very close to the body.

In addition, this arrangement takes into account the fact that weights are arranged on the "opposite" side of the usual arrangement in the back region, so that cancel the sum of the moments generated by the weights relative to the body axis at least partially is it that these moments are as small as possible. Therefore, the arrangement is also intended on or on the shoulder straps.

The shoulder straps are arranged on a back element. The back element may, for example, a plate made of plastic or of a viscoelastic foam, which is preferably bordered by a plastic, consist, to which the weights in any way, for example by means of magnets can be attached. Alternatively, containers may be provided in the

Weights, such as sand, can be introduced. Alternatively, it can also be provided that the weights are designed plate-shaped and in

provided box areas are inserted. By fixing, for example, magnets or clamping elements, the plate-like weights in the

Box areas held. These containers are designed so that they fit tightly against the back element. As a result, a wide spacing of the back element and thus in the worn state of the body axis is avoided.

With regard to the structural design of the support system, the experience of backpacks is used, but with the difference that weights directly on the back element and directly on or on or in or on the

Shoulder straps and also on and on or in a lap belt can be attached, each with the aim to bring the weights close to the body. In addition, the aim is to make the entire moment with respect to the body central axis as small as possible, in which on both sides of the body center axis on the

Carrying system attack similar forces. For this purpose, it is necessary to arrange the necessary weights in the area of the shoulder straps and the lap belt. An advantageous development provides that one or more containers can be attached to the back element. These containers have

advantageously different receiving areas for weights on. A further development provides that the containers which can be attached to the back element, for example via a zipper, are detachable from there. The handles located on the container allow the container to be used as a weight element to perform outdoor exercises

Of the back element, the shoulder straps and the lap belt are preferably designed detachable. Depending on the user, weights of different weights can be inserted or attached to perform optimal and efficient body training.

The back element also has the property that it is in his

Longitudinal division is divisible. Dividing means, such as a zipper bring the possibility that two equal-sized mobile weights arise, with which further training exercises can be performed. On one part of the back element, one or more containers are arranged, which can be filled with the plate-like weights. By simply folding and fixing a part of the back element can also be designed as Kettlebell. Alternatively, by appropriate fixation means, which are part of this part of the back element, attach the part to an arm or leg as a fixed weight.

The carrying system is thus suitable as a training device that for a

Location-independent and efficient full-body training can be used for everyone. Whether at home, at the lake or in the forest, the training location can be freely determined by the user or personal trainer, since the carrying system together with the weights a functional training device with a variety of

Provides application possibilities.

Description of an embodiment

In Fig. 1, a mobile training device 1 is shown. This training device 1 consists of a back element 2 and a carrying system 3. The carrying system 3 comprises shoulder straps 4, which are detachable to the back element 2 Fastening elements 5 are articulated. The shoulder straps 4 correspond to the shoulder straps of backpacks. In addition, a lap belt 6 is provided, which is releasably connected to the one or more, further fastening elements 7

Back element 2 is fixable.

The back member 2 is preferably made of an ergonomically shaped plate 8. This plate 8 may be made of plastic or a viscoelastic

Foam or a combination of both. The

Back element 2 extends in a particular embodiment of

Shoulder area to the loin area of a human. The back element 2 is comparable to a back element of a backpack.

The back member 2 in the formation of the plate 8 can be divided into several plate parts. In the figures, in particular in Fig. 2, an embodiment is shown, which comprises a first plate part 8a and a further plate part 8b. Both plate parts 8a, 8b are via a Konnektierungselement 9, here a

Zipper detachable and thus separable connected. By a cover member 1 2, as shown in Fig. 3, the back member 2 is protected, for example, from rain. This cover 1 2 is removable and to install accordingly only when needed. Alternatively or in addition, it is provided that this cover element 1 comprises 2 storage areas 1 3 for objects. These storage areas 1 3 are preferably provided with closure elements 1 4. These closure elements 1 4 may for example be zippers.

A plate part 8a, 8b, shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, comprises at least one receiving area 10 for receiving a container 11. The container 1 1, as shown in Fig. 7, comprises one or more receiving elements 1 5, which are suitable for receiving weight plates 1 6. The individual weight plates 1 6 can be held by means of magnets in the receiving elements 1 5.

Alternatively, and as also shown in the figures, the container 1 1 encloses a pocket 1 8. Fitted in this pocket is such a container 1 1. So that Weight plates 1 6 does not fall out of the receiving elements 1 5, the bag 1 8 a closable tab 1 9, which cover the opening areas of the container 1 1 in the closed state, so that the imported

Weight plates 1 6 can not fall out.

Alternatively, the containers 1 1 can have no subdivisions and thus show only a single receiving element 1 5. This can then serve that, for example, sand can be introduced in a bag as a weight. The bags of sand can be introduced without the container in the designated pockets 1 8. This has the particular advantage if the training device is taken on trips and the container and the

Weight plates for space and weight reasons can not be taken. Due to the technical design, it is still possible to use the training device without containers and weight plates.

Additionally or alternatively, on the support system 3 pockets 1 8 may be arranged, the weights, for example in the form of weight plates 1 6, or

Contain containers 1 1 in conjunction with plates or weight bags, for example, comprising sand or stones. The arrangement can by means of

Velcro closures, magnets or alternative types of fastening done.

The lap belt 6 has receiving areas 1 0 for receiving weights. These receiving areas 10 are designed such that magnets fix the weights arranged on the lap belt 6. Alternative fastening means and also small containers, preferably consisting of textile material, are conceivable.

FIGS. 8 and 9 show an application example of the training device 1. A plate part 8a, as shown in Figure 6, is folded in half, so that a kind Kettlebell arises. This training can, as shown in Fig. 8, with

be equipped different weight plates 1 6. A fixing element 21 serves to hold the folded plate part 8a together. This

Fixing element 21 is preferably a Velcro tape. By the half fold are two containers 1 1 arranged symmetrically to each other. The container 1 1 can be filled with a different number of weight plates 1 6. If no container 1 1 is used, they offer the container 1 1 itself

receiving receptacle 1 5 the ability to take, for example, bagged sand as a weight. A handle member 20 allows to lift the weight and perform appropriate exercises.

Alternatively, the fixing element 21 can be used to fix the plate part 8a by wrapping a foot F at this.

By the mobile exercise device 1, a training and fitness utensil has been created with which many different exercises and in particular also during the transport of the training device can be performed regardless of the location. The training device 1 can be subdivided in a very simple manner into different functional elements, so that, for example, two

Kettlebells can be provided which moves through a handle element or by a fixing element on a body part, such as a foot,

can be attached. By attaching one or more containers, optionally replacing weight plates, replacing the weight plates and containers with bags that can be filled with natural weights such as sand and stones, a fitness backpack is created that is used by personal trainers and their clients outdoors in particular can.
