Abstract

The machine has a base (1) with a height adjustable torsion spring (2) carrying an upper plate (3) to support the users forearms and with a pair of handles. The plate can have two foam stops (4,5) to stabilise the forearms.

Description

La présente invention concerne un appareil de sport pour le renforcement de la musculation, en utilisant le poids du corps comme source d'effort prinsipale. The present invention relates to a sports device for strengthening bodybuilding, using body weight as the main source of effort.

L'appareil selon l'invention conçoit une nouvelle façon de se muscler progressivement à partir d'appuis et d'équilibre du corps. Il a pour originalité de maintenir en toute sécurité l'équilibre du corps et de supprimer le stress des mouvements liés à ce type d'exercice.The apparatus according to the invention conceives a new way of gradually building muscle from support and balance of the body. Its originality is to safely maintain the balance of the body and to remove the stress of the movements associated with this type of exercise.

En effet, l'appareil est composé d'un ressort de forme hélicoidale fixé à un socle posé sur le sol. A l'autre extrémité, le ressort est pourvu d'un plateau avec deux poignées en position verticales et deux butées parallèle placées au bord du plateau. Les poignées sont destinées à être saisies avec les mains et les butées servent à caler et à stabiliser les avant-bras. Ainsi, l'utilisateur se place sur le plateau, les mais sur les poignées, les avant-bras calés contre les butées, et il allonge son corps derrière lui de façon à former un angle de trente degré avec le sol, les pieds en appui. Dans cette position, l'utilisateur est immédiatement placé en équilibre sur l'appareil qui reste stable du fait des points d'appuis formé par les avant-bras et le poids du corps d'une part, lesquels se situent au-dessus de l'élément de compression et de torsion, et les pieds qui reposent directement sur le sol. La préhension des poignées et l'appui des avant-bras permettent de manipuler l'appareil dans tous les sens et donc d'exercer une pression sur le ressort qui crée une force de résistance, puis sollicite les muscles progressivement. Le placement des avant-bras sur le plateau et la préhension des poignées assurent l'équilibre et la sécurité pendant la durée de l'exercice. Les muscles sollicités pendant les exercices sont les triceps, les trapèzes, les deltoides, la sangle abdominale, les lombaires, les cuisses, les fesses, les mollets.Indeed, the device is composed of a helical spring fixed to a base placed on the ground. At the other end, the spring is provided with a plate with two handles in vertical position and two parallel stops placed at the edge of the plate. The handles are intended to be grasped with the hands and the stops serve to wedge and stabilize the forearms. Thus, the user places himself on the tray, the corn on the handles, the forearms wedged against the stops, and he stretches his body behind him so as to form an angle of thirty degrees with the ground, his feet resting . In this position, the user is immediately placed in equilibrium on the device which remains stable due to the support points formed by the forearms and the body weight on the one hand, which are located above the element of compression and torsion, and the feet which rest directly on the ground. The gripping of the handles and the support of the forearms allow the device to be manipulated in all directions and therefore to exert pressure on the spring which creates a resistance force, then gradually solicits the muscles. The placement of the forearms on the tray and the gripping of the handles ensure balance and security during the exercise. The muscles used during the exercises are the triceps, trapezius muscles, deltoids, abdominal strap, lumbar, thighs, buttocks, calves.

Selon des modes particuliers de réalisation - le socle peut être constitué d'un plateau plein en matières plastiques ou
ou. d'une structure méttalique en tube, de même la forme peut-être carré, rectangulaire ou ronde.According to particular embodiments - the base may consist of a solid plastic tray or
or. of a metallic structure in a tube, likewise the shape may be square, rectangular or round.

- les poignées peuvent être remplacées par un arc de cercle de manière à permettre une préhension libre sur la longueur de l'arc.- the handles can be replaced by an arc of a circle so as to allow a free grip along the length of the arc.

- les butées sont évasées ou droites pour éviter les heurts sur les avant-bras dûs aux appuis.- the stops are flared or straight to avoid knocks on the forearms due to the supports.

- la compression et la tors ion peut être effectuée par un autre système produisant les mêmes effets.- compression and torsion can be carried out by another system producing the same effects.

- les. poignées peuvent être placées le long d'un rail pour régler l'écartement
Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention
Les figures 1, 2, 3, représentent en coupe le dispositif de l'invention. En référence à ces dessins, le dispositif comporte un socle (1) sur lequel est fixé un ressort (2) surmonté d'un plateau (3). A titre d'exemple non limitatif les dimensions de ces trois éléments pourront être : - le socle : épaisseur 2 cm, le poids 2 Kg, la surface 50 cm, le fil 2 cm - le ressort : entre 10 et 15 spires, le poids entre 4 et 5 Kg, le fil 2 cm de - le plateau : longueur 45 cm, largeur 35 cm. - the. handles can be placed along a rail to adjust the spacing
The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention
Figures 1, 2, 3 show in section the device of the invention. With reference to these drawings, the device comprises a base (1) on which is fixed a spring (2) surmounted by a plate (3). By way of nonlimiting example, the dimensions of these three elements could be: - the base: thickness 2 cm, the weight 2 Kg, the surface 50 cm, the wire 2 cm - the spring: between 10 and 15 turns, the weight between 4 and 5 kg, the wire 2 cm from - the tray: length 45 cm, width 35 cm.

Le plateau comporte deux butées évasées (4) placées sur des bords parallèlle de façon a laissé une large zone, du centre du plateau jusqu'au butées, pour
l'emplacement des avant-bras. Les butées et la zone ci-dessus définies sont recouverte de mousse (5) pour le confort des avant-bras. Entre les deux butées, sur le bord supérieur du plateau donc perpendiculairement, sont fixé deux poignées (6) qui selon le cas illustré peuvent se déplacer sur un rail (i) afin de régler leur espacement. The tray has two flared stops (4) placed on parallel edges so as to leave a large area, from the center of the tray to the stops, to
the location of the forearms. The stops and the area defined above are covered with foam (5) for the comfort of the forearms. Between the two stops, on the upper edge of the plate therefore perpendicularly, are fixed two handles (6) which according to the illustrated case can move on a rail (i) in order to adjust their spacing.
