FR2690628A1 - Multipurpose gymnastic device with adjustable supports - has slides supporting hand-held rings or elastic straps and uprights positioned at any point on tubular frame - Google Patents

Abstract

The device has two supports (1) joined by a lower bar (4). At the top of the uprights there are slides (2) which support a hand-held (10) ring or elastic straps. The uprights can be positioned at any point on a frame (3) by rocking a plate (5) and locked in position by a locking screw (6). The frame is a square or rectangular tube. The top of the slide is covered with an omnidirectional capping (9). The sliding tube is locked in position by a screw (8). The slide can be longer and it can be a support post for a ring. USE - Gymnastic device permitting combinations for various exercises.

Description

VERSATILE SYSTEM FOR VARIOUS AGREEMENTS AND MUSCULATOR
FOR GYMNASTICS
The systems currently on the market do not make it possible to combine the use in the form of apparatus and in the form of a musculator. On the other hand, their use is difficult due to the size, the lack of possibility of adjustment, etc.

The object of the invention is to eliminate these drawbacks.

The device consists of a set of three sets of center pieces, compact, easy to handle, and allowing all the spacing and height adjustments: chassis bars, versatile supports and slides receiving the various tackles. These differ according to the apparatus that we want to design.

The versatile supports fit on the two bars serving as chassis. They receive the backstage which themselves receive either the hand rails, the rings, or the bungee cords, or a horse or beam body, etc.

Figure 1 shows the support (1) and the slide (2), as well as the chassis (3). The frame (3) consists of 2 square or rectangular tubes, without machining, the ends of which are provided with non-slip end pieces (3a) which allow this said tube to be raised.

The bar (4) is used to connect the 2 supports (1). It is fitted into the supports (1) and then locked by screwing.

All slides have holes for height adjustment.

They slide inside the support (1) and are positioned in height thanks to a notching pawl (7) then are then tightened by the knob (8).

In all mounting cases, you will need at least: 2 chassis bars (3), 2 supports (1) connected by a bar (4) and 2 slides (slide (2) for a fixed bar for example). The supports (1) and the bar (4) are removable but form a single element.

Figure 2 is a projection AA of Figure 1 and shows the mechanical operation of the clamping system.

The support (1) is provided with a part (5) in the shape of an inverted L, articulated in its middle on an axis (X) positioned by a yoke secured to the support. The upper end of the part (5) has a thread or nut which receives the tightening wheel (6). The screwing of the tightening wheel (6), when its end is pressed on the support (1) at point (Y) causes the part (5) to tilt and clamps the support (1) to the chassis (3 ) by the contact point (Z) for part 5 and W and W 'for part 1, thus making it possible to position the support (1) on any point of the chassis (3).

Figure 3 shows the end of the slide (2) or (11) which includes an omni-directional yoke (9) for fixing a hand support (10) in the case of the fixed bar or the parallel bar.

Figure 4 shows the end of the slide (13) which has 2 pins (13a) for easily attaching bungee cords (14).

Figure 5 shows the assembly in the form of a parallel bar. The device consists of 2 chassis bars (3), 4 supports (1) connected by 2 bars (4), 4 slides (2) receiving the 2 hand rails (10).

Figure 6 shows the fixed bar version. The device consists of 2 chassis bars (3), 2 supports (1) connected by the bar (4), 2 runners (11) longer than the runners (2) and receiving at their end the carrier (10) .

Figure 7 shows the gantry version of rings which consists of 2 chassis bars (3), 2 supports (1) connected by the bar (4) and 2 slides (12) in the form of a bracket, receiving the rings.

Figure 8 shows a musculator with its two possibilities of use. In the first case, the device is composed of 2 chassis bars (3), 2 adjustable supports (1) connected by the bar (4) and 2 slides (13). A hand holder (15) is directly fixed on the chassis (3). At the end of the 2 slides (13) bungee cords (14) are hung on the lugs (13a)
The gymnast, depending on its size and weight, will adjust the spacing of the hands placed on the ground, relative to the bungee cord, itself 'adjusted in height so that the thighs (for example) of the gymnast are in contact with this bungee cord.

Depending on the weight of the gymnast, there may be 1, 2, 3 bungee cords (14) (or even more if necessary). The bungee cords (14) are in the form of a loop, which allows direct hooking, without carabiner, on the end of the slides (13).

In the second case, we place 1 other set of supports (1) at the other end of the chassis bars (3), connected by a bar (4) and 2 slides (13) on which will be hung bungee cords. (shown in dotted lines)
Due to the various possibilities of positioning the support (1), at the various points of the chassis (3) as well as in the two directions with respect thereto, all kinds of assemblies of attached apparatus are possible.

Claims (9)

1 - Multipurpose adjustable system allowing various combinations of use in the form of apparatus and muscularisers for gymnastics, characterized by 2 supports (1) connected to each other via the bar (4), provided with slides (2 or 11 12 13) supporting either the hand-holder, the rings or the bungee cord, etc. These supports (1) are positioned by quick fixing at any point on the chassis (3). 2 - Device according to claim 1 characterized in that the support (1) is positioned on the chassis (3) at any point thereof and in both directions, perpendicular to the chassis. 3 - Device according to claim 1 and 2 characterized in that the fixing of the supports (1) on the chassis (3) is done by the tilting of the part (5) operated by the clamping wheel (6). 4 - Device according to claim 1 characterized in that the frame (3) is a simple square or rectangle tube, without any machining. 5 - Device according to claim 1 characterized in that the slide (2) has at its end an omni-directional yoke (9). 6 - Device according to claim 1 characterized in that the slide (11) is longer than the slide (2). 7 - Device according to claim 1 characterized in that the slide (12) is in the form of a ring support bracket. 8 - Device according to claim 1 characterized in that the slide (13) comprises two lugs (13A), support for bungee cords. 9 - Device according to claim 1 characterized in that a hand carrier (15) is fixed directly to the frame (3).
