Description

Weightlifting machine for fitness.

  The present invention relates to a machine for halting

  rophily for physical fitness, that is to say at a

  apparatus for performing gymnastic exercises and mus-

  which, because of its small footprint, is suitable for meeting the movement needs of members of small communities of children, such as schools, colleges, or gyms, sports circles, associations or institutions sporting mass of some ambition, this machine being able to

  to develop any musculature of the human organism.

  Machines and devices for bodybuilding are known which are mainly the property of sports associations created by renowned sportsmen and which are suitable only for the execution of a given exercise. These devices have

  common feature is a large footprint, the

  irremovable cord between their elements and their difficulty of disassembly which makes more difficult their transport and their lodging. The known devices are quite dangerous, their fixation can not be done with all the desired safety and the weights used (weight which are made identically to those used in weightlifting) require a large enough space and they are otherwise equally dangerous ( they can come loose, tip over, pinch your fingers, crush your feet, etc ...). With regard to these weights, the increase of the load is effected by manual effort by hanging the discs to an iron rod, which represents an operation

  difficult and more time-consuming. The manufacturer

  The cost of the devices is expensive and requires special workshops and machining facilities. The device not designed according to the objective is not adapted to the morphology of the athlete so that a significant part of the energy of the latter is not focused on the quick result that it is to obtain that his performance is not increased to the extent desired and that otherwise he has no opportunity to exercise personal control. The present invention therefore aims to develop a weightlifting machine for fitness that does not have the aforementioned defects,

  is able to develop the different parts of the muscu-

  lature, satisfies the requirements of a large number of sportsmen and who, despite everything, has a small footprint and a

  simple construction. Another object of the invention is to adapt

  the machine to all age groups, by making

  ensuring that the load can be easily adjusted in a few seconds between wide limits and can be

  suitable for all cases.

  The essential part of the device according to the invention is formed by a frame in which at least one weight column consisting of flat weights is movably mounted on a vertical guide and in the center of these weights placed one above the other is advantageously arranged a

  opening of circular passage in which we can introduce

  to draw a ribbed stem. The dimension of the cylindrical ribs

  dies of the stem corresponds to the size of the holes; the spacers guided along the intended track between the different weights provide the necessary spacing and the weight column can be broken down into a desired number of elements using the fork engaged in one or the other. Another hollow of the ribbed rod suspended from a wire rope or hemp, the ribbed rod allowing to lift only the weights that are on the fork. The cable connecting to the ribbed rod crossing the weights can, after passing over one or more solid pulleys, be connected to several special machines that can be used to develop the different muscles of the body. Theoretically, it is possible to work with only one column of weight, but it goes without saying that it is much more advantageous to have between a lower frame and an upper frame several columns of weight to which are connected three different posts. work which they also serve I develop different parts of the

  musculature or to improve physical fitness. In addition

  the device offers the possibility of adding to the frame appropriate means to perform various exercises, for example a rope, a scale back, a table or board that can be hung from different angles on this scale to back to work the belly muscles, a sliding handle, a suspension handle, etc ..., and to install outside the central device, a device provided with an independent weight column, for example a

  apparatus for fortifying the joint and the forearm.

  The invention will be better understood by means of the description

  an embodiment taken as an example, but not limited to, and illustrated by the appended drawing, in which:

  fig. 1 is a plan view of the weight machine.

  philie according to the invention; fig. 2 is a side view of a portion of the weightlifting machine according to FIG. 1, inside which the detail C represents a part of the machine seen in the direction of the arrow C; figs. 3a, 3b and 3c respectively show side views of three exercise stations shown in plan

in fig. 1.

  It should be noted that the complex weightlifting machine according to the invention shown in the drawing can be completed by other means of work, but that conversely

  some means of work can be deleted.

  The weightlifting machine for putting in condition phy-

  shown in the figure is mounted on a pentagonal frame

  gonal 1 which includes an upper part and a part

  lower rigidly connected by connecting elements

  vertical dies lc. On the line between the upper part 1a and the lower part 1b of the frame, flat weights separated from each other by spacers are arranged one above the other in the column 11 so that they can be slipped on respectively on two vertical rods 27 of circular cross section; as we

  can see it in fig. 2, a circular bore is advan-

  tagously practiced according to a vertical in the middle of these weights. The ribbed rod 28 passes through the iron weights, so that the narrow cylindrical portions of the ribbing are located in the slots formed between the weights by the spacers and that each time two weights are possible. inserting a fork-shaped means, namely the fork 2 intended to lift the weights, the distance between the two teeth of the fork corresponding to the narrowest part of the ribbed rod 28. As soon as the fork 2 is introduced between two weights of the column 11, the weights above the fork 2 are driven by the lifting of the ribbed rod in the vertical direction, while

  that the weights below them remain in their posi-

  rest. In this way, the number of weights to be lifted and therefore the size of the load to be lifted can be changed simply by introducing the fork 2 into different places inside the weight column. In the drawing we have simply shown the different weight columns 11, 21, 24 guided on the vertical rods 27, while the fork 2 insertable between the weights of a column is not shown. Around the frame 1 are arranged the different working means, for example the special devices for fortifying the muscles. On these some cooperate with the weight columns 11, 21, 24

  or with that without designation while others are con-

  to perform independent exercises that do not require

not the use of weight.

  We will now describe the means of work and

  special devices without pretending to be exhaustive.

  The handles 3 are connected to a rod which forms practically

  only a lever with a single arm and can be turned around the articulation provided at the end. The athlete standing between the handles 3 can raise from bottom to top the weights on the ribbed rod 28 movable by means of the lever

  in one arm, the amount of weight lifted being determined

  born using the fork 2. By changing the position of

  fork 2, one can very quickly and easily

  proud of the weight without any danger. On the frame is planned the arm

  cantilever 6 supporting the rope and whose inclination angle

  It can be modified by means of the metal cable 5, while a cable 4, preferably a hemp cable, assures it against any possibility of rotation on the side. At the end of the cantilevered arm 6 supporting the rope, a rope or pole can be fixed to climb. On the

  frame, a back ladder 7, is fixed either in a vertical position

  wedge, or under different angles of inclination to allow the execution of exercises generally performed on such a scale. A board 8 for fortifying the belly muscles is attached to the back ladder 7 by means of hooks which are arranged on said board and attached to the various bars of the ladder so that the board serving to strengthen the belly muscles can be brought from a

  position close to the ground in relation to the back ladder 7, that is

  that is, from a substantially horizontal position to a vertical position through several degrees of inclination. The head turned outwards and the feet engaged in the leather stirrups arranged at the end of the board 8 located on the side of the ladder with back 7, the sportsman can, with his head for more or less down , strengthen your belly muscles by striving to move from the position described to a

sitting.

  Regarding the use of the board 9, the athlete stretches out by applying his back on the board, then

  grasping the branches or handles 10 he strives to repulse

  upwards the amount of weight chosen and placed at the

  that is, the top of Column 11

separated by the fork 2.

  The great advantage of this solution lies in the fact that no accident is to be feared even if the athlete lets fall the handles 10 during the push expected that the weight can absolutely not hurt him. The handle of

  suspension 12 and the sliding handle 13 are essential

  intended for the execution of suspension exercises and

  flexed suspension exercises to be performed during the exercise

  suspension or for other exercises with a higher support position. These two handles are usually fixed in the set position, but are simultaneously mutually

  the height can always be adjusted in accordance with the

  preferably at the size of the sportsman preferably with the aid of a threaded spindle 14. The arms 15 are intended for recumbent exercises. On the frame 16 is mounted the apparatus for fortifying the muscles of the joint and the forearm, apparatus which comprises a horizontal and rotatable shaft 29, preferably grooved, to which is connected the hemp rope 30 which can be wound by rotation of the grooved shaft 29, while the hemp rope is connected to the weight column 11 movable with the ribbed rod 28 according to the solution already described. The grooved shaft 29 of the apparatus 17 serving to

  fortify the muscles of the wrist and forearm is

  placed substantially horizontally at the height of the shoulder and the athlete rotates with both hands the grooved shaft so that the upper part, separated by the fork 2, of the weight column can be lowered and lowered by a movement of the wrist . On the guide bars 18 connected to the apparatus 17 serving to strengthen the muscles of the wrist and

  the forearm and the connecting elements corresponding to

  laying of the frame 1 is movably mounted the board 19 for developing the foot muscles and can be locked in the desired position. The sportsman is installed on the board 19 and places the feet on the surface 31 which is provided on an arm 26 rotatable in the vertical plane; by the movement of the feet, it alternately moves the rotary arm 26 or allows it to return to its initial position, this apparatus allowing

  to perform exercises strengthening the muscles of the feet.

  On the arm 26 are successively arranged several hooks to which the cable 33 - either a hemp rope or a wire rope - passes through the solid pulleys 25, while at the other end connects the weight column 11 already described. Here, we can also vary the number

  weights and we also have the possibility of using

  chets arranged on the arm 26 to change the torque.

  Plate 20 (see also Fig. 3a) serves to

  proud the muscles of the arm. In use, the sportsman settles on the board 20 by turning to the frame 1, grasps the two arms 34 in front of him and pulls them against his chest so that he raises with the cable 35 passing through the pulley full the weights arranged in the frame l and adjusted appropriately by means of the fork 2. With the help of the board 22 (Fig 3c), made of an elastic material, for example the rubber cylinders 36, and used for the development of the muscles of the feet, the person who settles there can, with the legs and the feet bent or lengthened, move the arm protruding so that the corresponding part of the column he disposed behind his

  head on frame 1 is lifted using cable 37.

  Plate 23 (see also Figure 3b) serves to imitate the movement of a person's arms in a kayak. The sportsman turns towards the frame 1, settles on the board 23 and grasps with each of his two hands the respective rings 38. He draws the rings alternately towards him and lifts the appropriately divided part of a weight column he using cable 39 attached to the rings imitating the movement of a

paddle.

  In the foregoing we have indicated some possibilities

  tif. It is clear that by the combination of the elements

  positions or by creating new opportunities for

  of displacement, it is possible to conceive of

  many solutions for the weightlifting machine according to the ir.-

  vention. It is also clear that if the mode of

  In this case, it is possible to design a circular or triangular shape or another polygonal shape which is quite different and at the same time the apparatus connected to the machine can be multiplied.
