DESCRIPTION

Training bar

Object of the invention

The object of the present invention is a metal bar for performing physical and / or myofascial release exercises, for which purpose various elements can be mounted at the ends thereof, consisting of spheres, discs, cylinders or pointers, all of them susceptible to adaptation to exercises of the type exposed.

This bar has the peculiarity that with the elements that compose it two dumbbells can be mounted, for weight training, either to be used individually or in pairs, or a bar capable of mounting in it various elements, with which You can exercise various weight training, or also several myofascial release exercises.

Background of the invention

Various types of bars are now well known, capable of mounting a series of discs, which are mostly used in strength training exercises. Sometimes, at least one of the ends, other cylinder, sphere or pointer type terminations are also mounted, which allow either to rotate the bar on a specific muscle, or to make a pressure with said termination with the purpose in both cases of Perform myofascial release exercises. This technique is used to treat dysfunctions that can cause pain and / or lack of mobility, whose methodology is to apply a constant force on the tissue, to stimulate the restricted fascia slowly until the restrictions to which it is subjected are released.

The dumbbells are also well known, consisting of a small bar that is mounted on two weights, which are used in bodybuilding exercises, either when used individually (in one hand) or in pairs in both hands at once.

There is no knowledge of a universal bar, which has this double function, of being able to mount dumbbells or a weight lifting bar, for example.

Description of the invention

The training bar of the invention is a modular bar, which can be adapted to different objectives in the field of training and health, therefore it can be used for physical therapists or physical trainers, or for athletes in general.

This bar consists of the following elements:

- A section of bar with individual male - male endings, consisting of threaded studs.

- A section of bar with male - female terminations, in which the male termination is a threaded stud just like that of the previous bar, while the female is a threaded hole, homologous to said stud.

- Several balls, discs, cylinders and pointers, of different weights, all of them suitable for strength exercises or to perform rotations that facilitate myofascial release, or direct application on certain trigger points, for their release; all of them provided with threaded coupling means of female type (a hole) or male (a protruding stud).

Thus, one of the main characteristics of this bar is that with it you can perform various functions with a single product, due to the possibilities it has through an integration mechanism of the different elements or modules. And therefore, you can:

- Increase or decrease the length of the bar, thus modifying the moment of force as we perform the grip. For this, two small bars, dumbbell type, or a single double size bar can be mounted, in which various weights or terminations can be mounted.

- Increase or decrease the weight of the bar, through different weights.

- Modify the surface of the bar for myofascial release work.

- Make lateral bearings for myofascial release work.

Description of the figures

To complement the description that is being made and in order to facilitate the understanding of the characteristics of the invention, a set of drawings is attached to the present specification in which, for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, the following has been represented:

Figures 1 and 2 show two bar sections (1a, 1b), integrated in the present invention.

Figures 3 and 4 show said bar sections (1a, 1b), individually and joined together forming a larger bar.

Figures 5, 6, 7 and 8 represent several accessory elements for mounting at the ends of the bar sections (1a, 1b).

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

As can be seen in the referenced figures, the training bar is of the type constituted by an elongated metal body in which weights or other types of elements suitable for physical exercises of various kinds are fixed. Specifically, the bar of the invention can be mounted forming a single double bar (figure 4), or on individual bars (1a) and (1b), in any of which accessory elements can be mounted to form, for example, a pair of dumbbells

The whole of this bar includes:

- On the one hand, at least two sections of bar (1a, 1b), provided with two end ends equipped with threaded coupling means. In one of said sections (1a) the coupling means are constituted by

asparagus (11); while in the other section (1b), said means are constituted by one side in a stud (11) and the opposite in a threaded hole (12). These studs (11) and holes (12) are homologous to each other, to optionally form a single rod, with the two sections (1a, 1b) axially connected; and they are also homologous with the threaded means (21, 22) defined in a series of elements (2) that are fixed at the ends of each bar, depending on the exercise to be performed.

On the other hand there are several elements (2), with a weight, dimensions and shape suitable for the exercise to be performed, provided with a threaded coupling means, formed by a hole (21) or stud (22), suitable for threading in the homologous termination of the bar sections (1a, 1b).

The elements (2) that are coupled at the ends of each section of bar (1a, 1b) or a double bar formed by two sections (1a, 1b) joined together, are constituted by spheres (2a), disks (2b ), cylinders (2c) or pointers (2d), all of them capable of constituting a weight in strength exercises, but also allow rotating the bar, or applying them directly at specific points, for myofascial release exercises. Depending on the elements mounted on the bar and its form of application several functions can be performed with it: physical exercises, such as modulating bar, or to apply the appropriate termination to specific points in order to perform a myofascial release treatment

Each section of bar (1a, 1b) has at least one knurled area (13), suitable for grabbing and rubbing it through muscle areas for myofascial release exercises. Optionally this surface can be covered with a cover.

Once the nature of the invention has been sufficiently described, as well as a preferred embodiment, it is stated for the appropriate purposes that the materials, shape, size and arrangement of the described elements may be modified, provided that this does not imply an alteration. of the essential features of the invention claimed below:
