Definitions

• the invention relates to the sports area, in particular to ex- ercise machines protected from unauthorized theft of weights used on street sports grounds.
• the exercise machine loading device is used to create an ad- justable load and comprises a system consisting of a metal guide rail made of several straight sections and several weights placed thereupon built at an angle into the lateral face of the lever of the exercise machine, which results in the impossibility of spontaneous movement of the weights along the guide rail, the impossibility of spontaneous change of load during the exercise and increased protection from vandalism.
• a large number of loading devices for exercise machines are currently known.
• Some examples are useful model Russian patent 189071 “Exercise Machine Loading Device,” Russian patent 2632757 “Exercise Machine for Creating Adjustable Loads (Options).”
• a disadvantage of these loading devices is that the tilting plane of the loading device mounted above at the lever of the exercise machine is positioned perpendicular to the bearing surface, therefore, when lifting the lever upwards, the weight slips from the accumulator and moves along the guide rail, which results in unwanted change in load and can cause injury.
• the goal of the claimed invention is to create a loading device for the exercise machine that is more efficient, safe, and van- dal-proof.
• the effect of the invention is increased training efficiency due to the absence of spontaneous movement of the plates along the guide rail and spontaneous change of load throughout the exer- cise, as well as increased protection from vandalism and relia- bility of the structure due to shifting the center of gravity of the weights located on the guide rail towards the coupling of the guide rail and the lever of the exercise machine.
• the exercise machine loading device comprising a tiltable lever coupled with the axis of the exercise machine, weights and a guide rail made of several straight sections, wherein the guide rail is built at an angle into the lateral face of the lever.
• a feature of this device is positioning the guide rail with the weights at different sides of the lever.
• a further feature is installing at least one guide rail on the lever.
• the submitted exercise machine loading device possesses a nov- elty in comparison to the prototype, wherein the guide rail made of several straight sections with weights is built into the tiltable exercise machine lever coupled with the exercise ma- chine stand axis at an angle into the lateral face of the lever.
• the claimed invention can be used to create adjustable load in exercise machines and therefore meets the criteria for indus- trial applicability.
• an exercise machine loading device comprising
• the at least one first guide element can have at least three successive first rectilinear sections a, b, and c, a first end of first sections a and c being connected to the first lever, and section b being arranged substantially parallel to the first lever.
• the guide element have curved sections linking sections a and c to section b.
• the guide element can have a U shape or a V shape.
• the first sections of the at least one guide element a, b, and c can extend in a second plane which is inclined relative to the first swing plane in a first inclination angle ⁇ larger than 0°
• Weight considered can be weights in disc form or flat form con- taining a bore. The bore can be used to position the weights on the guide element.
• weights are also possible as long as the weights are configured to be non-removable from the respective guide element.
• the weights cannot be removed from the device since they are linked to the device via the guide element. In this way the device is protected from theft and vandalisms.
• any weights which are moved on the guide element 5 from one resting position (sections a or c ) via the section b to another resting position (sections a or c ) will fall into the resting position with reduced speed since they acquire less potential energy than e.g. weights which are moved at a first inclination angel which is 0°.
• the device of the disclosure provides improved safety.
• the first inclination angle ( ⁇ ) is an angle extending from that part the first swing plane which is limited by a plane, which is orthogonal to the first swing plane and comprises the axis of the longitudinal elongation of the first lever, to the second plane.
• the first inclination angle can be between 5° and 85°, 20° and 70°, 35° and 65°, or 40° and 50°.
