Definitions

  • the invention relates to a training device known from the prior art, namely a bicycle ergometer, also called an exercise bike, fitness bike or indoor cycle bike, spinning bike, speed bike.
  • the frame of this device is usually made rigid and in one piece and can be divided into a front frame part with the handles located thereon and a rear frame part with the seat located thereon.
  • the starting point for the structural design of the bicycle ergometer according to the invention was, among other things, the knowledge that the conventional bicycle ergometer occupies a considerable footprint even when not in use, which is a restriction under cramped conditions, for example under domestic cramped conditions without storage rooms or storage rooms that are too small.
  • the object of the present invention is to overcome these disadvantages, at least in part, by means of a constructive solution that is as simple as possible.
  • the frame of the bicycle ergometer according to the invention can be divided along the longitudinal axis of the bicycle ergometer into a front frame part with handles located thereon and a rear frame part with a seat.
  • the rear frame part is arranged behind the front frame part.
  • both frame parts merge seamlessly into one another in an area that can be referred to as a transition area.
  • this transition area is referred to as the frame parts transition area, which is located between the front and rear frame parts.
  • this frame part transition area is the "separation point" of the two frame parts, which according to the invention are connected to one another such that they can pivot about a vertical axis in said frame part transition area.
  • vertical axis corresponds to the definition familiar to the person skilled in the art and, in relation to the horizontal axis, indicates which essentially corresponds to the flat surface of the bicycle ergometer, an almost right angle (90 °) with slight deviations, the deviations preferably less than 45 °, less than 40 °, less than 35 °, less than 30 °, less than 25 °, smaller than 20 °, smaller than 15 °, smaller than 10 °, smaller than 5 °, smaller than 4 °, smaller than 3 °, smaller than 2 °, smaller than 1 °.
  • Bicycle ergometers usually also have a bottom bracket crank unit, which can either be accommodated in the front frame part, as is known from recumbent bicycles, or can be accommodated in the rear frame part.
  • the latter corresponds to a preferred embodiment of the bicycle ergometer according to the invention, in which the rear frame part has a bottom bracket crank unit arranged below the seat, which is preferably arranged above the pivotable connection which connects the front frame part with the rear frame part.
  • FIGS Figures 1 and 2 An example of this preferred embodiment of the invention is shown in FIGS Figures 1 and 2 shown.
  • the pivotable connection connecting the front frame part and the rear frame part according to the invention can be any structural element which enables the desired pivoting movement.
  • it can be a pivot bearing, hinge or joint, including a folding joint, folding joint and double joint.
  • the pivotable connection can additionally have a locking device for locking the pivotable connection or be coupled to such a separate locking device, so that the locking device rigidly connects the front frame part to the rear frame part in the locked state, in which case the front frame part and the rear frame part are preferred are fixed in alignment along the longitudinal axis of the bicycle ergometer.
  • the locking device can also have an unlocking mechanism which, if necessary, releases the pivotable connection for a desired pivoting movement.
  • the locking is secured by, for example, a cotter pin or bolt which can be inserted through a hole provided in a locking tab.
  • the bicycle ergometer according to the invention has a special feature preferred embodiment, a floor support that enables better handling and support of the bicycle ergometer according to the invention, as will be explained below.
  • At least one floor support is provided, which is preferably arranged below the pivotable connection in the frame parts transition area and / or adjacent to the pivotable connection in the frame parts transition area.
  • the frame area weakened at this point by the division into the front and rear frames is stabilized and forces acting on the transition area and on the pivotable connection are intercepted.
  • the floor support is advantageously provided on the frame part around which the other frame part is pivoted, i.e. if, for example, the movable connection is attached to the rear frame part by means of a hinge, the floor support is located on the rear frame part below or in close proximity to the hinge .
  • the floor support is designed as a screw-in or screw-out foot, is in the Figure 1 shown.
  • any embodiments that can ensure the corresponding support function are provided as floor support.
  • a stand that is connected to the frame part via a pivot axis can also be used, which can preferably be folded in and out by one person.
  • the floor support lifts the frame part carried by the floor support beyond the frame part to be pivoted to the extent that the pivoting with minimal effort manually and / or with a on the bicycle ergometer arranged Umschwenk Anlagenvoriques (eg a tension spring connecting both frame parts on the Pivoting side of the bicycle ergometer) can be pivoted.
  • the pivotable connection enables a pivoting movement about the vertical axis of up to 180 °.
  • the footprint of the bicycle ergometer can be reduced considerably.
  • smaller angles of pivoting movement e.g.
  • the illustrated bicycle ergometer (1) with a frame (2) stands on runners (12) and has the conventional elements of a bicycle ergometer known from the prior art with handles (3) in the front area and a seat (4) and bottom bracket crank unit (7 ) in the rear area of the bicycle ergometer.
  • the bicycle ergometer shown (1) also has additional features that enable the bicycle ergometer to be stored in a space-saving manner when not in use or even easier to transport with space-restricted smaller means of transport, for example a car from the medium or small car segment or small vans.
  • the frame (2) of the bicycle ergometer (1) consists of two parts, a front frame part (2a) and a rear frame part (2b).
  • the two frame parts (2a) and (2b) are connected to one another via a hinge (8) attached to the rear frame part (2b) in a frame part transition area (5), so that the front frame part (2a) consists of one with the rear Frame part (2b) aligned position ( Figure 1 ) by almost 180 degrees ( Figure 2 ), based on the vertical axis (6) running through the hinge (8), can be pivoted.
  • the attached hinge (8) can be seen on the front of the frame part (2b).
  • the locking element (10) arranged at the same point on the opposite side is shown in FIG Figure 1 cannot be seen, but the in Figure 2 Corresponding tab with a hole through which a split pin or bolt can be inserted for locking securing in use mode.
  • a floor support (11) designed as a screw-in or screw-out foot is located on the rear frame part (2b) in spatial proximity to the attached hinge (8). Since the pivotable connection (8) connecting the two frame parts (2a) and (2b) is located below the bottom bracket crank unit (7), it is possible to use the free space (9) above the transition area (5) as a deep entry.
