Description

Gymnastic apparatus for transport vehicles of passengers

Technical sector

The invention falls within the technical sector of exercise equipment and more specifically in relation to exercise equipment for vehicle transport vehicles Travellers.

State of the art

The realization of long-distance trips both air and land are for users of this type of transport a physical discomfort, unable to perform any type of exercise due to the limited dimensions existing in This type of vehicles.

To solve this discomfort, as well as others problems derived from this lack of movement, such as the tourist class syndrome, have been previously designed other devices such as the one shown in the patent document ES2178956.

Explanation of the invention.

In order to solve this discomfort of passengers would therefore be desirable to have a device gymnastics that allowed them to exercise from their own seat. In addition, it would be convenient if the device were quick and easy installation, as well as not involving any kind of so much trouble for the passenger under whose seat the device as for the passenger he performs the exercise.

The present invention relates to a new gymnastics apparatus for passenger transport vehicles, to the parts that compose it and its installation in the vehicles.

The gymnastic apparatus for vehicles passenger transport is designed to be placed on the floor of the transport vehicle in question and anchor to the legs of the seats by means of two different anchoring systems.

The first anchor is a telescopic bar that supports the entire structure of the device and that also carries incorporated a coil spring that remains contracted while the device is not placed and that when deployed for placement presses against the seat legs to keep the subject device. In addition to this clamping at the end of each point end of telescopic bar two bars are arranged perpendicular that reinforce the attachment of the device when holding the sides of the legs.

The gymnastic apparatus for vehicles passenger transport consists of a system of folding pedals designed to prevent the device from protruding from the hole formed by the seat to avoid the inconvenience of passengers when not Use the device.

Being the gymnastic apparatus for vehicles of passenger transport a system that is located in the hollow that the seats form below, it does not bother the passenger who is placed in the seat under which it is placed since difference of the apparatus of previous invention the gymnastic apparatus for passenger transport vehicles does not produce pulls annoying on the seat that may disturb the occupant of the same. Likewise, being its folding pedals, this does not mean a nuisance for passengers who want to enjoy its hollow to put the feet because when folding the pedals the device that fully collected under the seat.

Finally, the gymnastics apparatus for passenger transport vehicles can be easily installed in the desired transport vehicle since not being attached to the seat but located on the ground and with an anchoring system that requires nothing more than the legs themselves of seat, has a quick installation that does not require the dismantling of the vehicle's seating system. All this supposes an important advantage since it allows the device to be installed at any time without having to modify the structure of the seats and that it can be easily removed and put on when the circumstances require it (such as when cleaning the vehicle where be
install).

Description of the figures

Figure one

Front view

The anchoring system is formed by a bar telescopic (1) inside which is a helical spring (2) that allows the device to be placed in its location under the seat quickly and easily enabling installation and uninstall On its extreme points there are two bars perpendicular (3), which end in extensions curved (4) used to anchor the device to the base of the seat (14).

In the center of the telescopic bar (1) you a cylindrical body (5) is inserted transversely which It also has two tubular extensions (6) and (7) being these rotatable on the cylindrical body (5). Of the extension upper tubular (7) a plate (9) is used as a base for the pedal (10). The lower tubular extension (6) supports a hydraulic or spring system (8) that supports the pressure exerted on the pedal (10). Both extensions, upper (7) and lower (6), are joined at their ends under the base of the pedal (10).

The pedal (10) sits on the plate (9) and exerts pressure on the hydraulic or spring system (8). Be characterized by having rounded edges and a stop in its front In its rear part it has a mechanism (11) that allows it to be folded 180º, thus reducing the dimension of pedal to prevent it from protruding from the seat (14), remaining collected under it.

Figure 3

View of the device positioned under the seat and anchored at legs of it

In this view we observe how the apparatus under the seat gap (14) as well as its shape anchor to the leg (13) thereof.

Once the telescopic bar (1) is deployed, the perpendicular bars (3) press against the leg (13) of the seat (14) to exert a pressure that keeps the whole device The curved extensions (4) at the end of the perpendicular bars (3) reinforce the attachment of the device to the leg (13) of the seat (14).

We can also observe the side view of the apparatus in which it is appreciated as the cylindrical body (5), by middle of the upper (7) and lower (6) extensions, holds both the hydraulic or spring system (8) and the pedals (10)

Likewise, we can observe how the mechanism (11) of the pedals (10) allows to keep these collected when not they are used to avoid protruding from the dimensions of the seat (14) and therefore suppose a nuisance to the passenger.
