FR2871390A1 - Muscular training apparatus for developing upper part of body, has two structures whose components articulate themselves on rear part of apparatus so as to fold apparatus, where each structure forms rigid assembly using two handles - Google Patents

Abstract

The apparatus (C) has two structures (A, B) whose components articulate themselves on the rear part of apparatus to make the apparatus foldable. Each structure forms a rigid assembly using two handles (D) that are destined to the practice of exercises such as push-up/pull-up and lift/vertical push-off with the arms. A bar (E) that is arranged on the top of apparatus is utilized to rigidify the apparatus by integrating the structures.

Description

The present invention relates to a collapsible weight training apparatus for

  develop the upper body by practicing with the arms of exercises of pulls and vertical thrusts and whose intensity of the effort is flexible according to the position of the user.

  Existing weight machines for upper body development are generally complex, heavy and very cumbersome.

  The device presented here has the following advantages: it is foldable to minimize its size, it does not require any adjustment, the intensity of the effort is adjustable according to the position of the user which simplifies the use, The device has been designed to practice bodybuilding according to four different exercises.

  Exercise 1 (dips): on the model presented, the exercise is carried out by keeping to the handles placed on the lower lateral part and lifting the body by exerting a vertical thrust downwards.

  main work of the triceps, - secondary work of the dorsal, pectoral and abdominal muscles.

  Exercise 2 (average draw): on the model presented, the exercise is carried out by keeping to the handles placed on the upper side and lifting the body by exerting vertical traction upwards.

  - main work of biceps and dorsals, - secondary work of deltoids and trapezius.

  Exercise 3 (wide pronation): on the model presented, the exercise is carried out by keeping to the handles placed at the ends of the upper transverse part and lifting the body by exerting a vertical pull upwards.

  - main work of the dorsal, - secondary work of biceps, deltoids, trapezius and abdominals.

  Exercise 4 (narrow pronation or supination): on the model presented, the exercise is performed by keeping the handles placed at the center of the upper transverse part and lifting the body by exerting vertical traction upwards.

  - main work of biceps and dorsals, - secondary work of trapezius and pectorals.

  Each of the exercises can be practiced by anyone, without complications, the intensity of the effort for each of these exercises is flexible depending on the position adopted: Level A - Very easy,: Kneeling position allows work with a load ranging from 35% to 50% of body weight. Level B - Easy,: Tailored position allows work with a load ranging from 50% to 66% of body weight.

  Level C - Medium,: Leg position at 45 allows work with a load ranging from 66% to 75% of the weight of the body Level D - Difficult,: Position stretched legs allows work with a load varying from 75% to 80% of body weight.

  Level E More Difficult,: Position Tight and Raised Legs allows work with a load ranging from 80% to 100% of body weight.

  The apparatus is foldable because composed of two structures (a) and (b) articulating on the rear part of the apparatus (c) and each forming a rigid assembly comprising at least two handles (d) intended for the practice of exercises.

  According to particular embodiments: the apparatus may be composed of a tube of circular or non-circular section.

  - The device may comprise a bar (e) which stiffens the device by solidifying the structures (a) and (b).

  - The bar (e) rigidifying the device by joining the structures (a) and (b) can be arranged on the top of the device and have at least two handles (d) for the practice of pulling exercises.

  Composition Example: The attached drawings illustrate the invention, which in the version shown is composed of two structures (a) and (b) articulating on the rear part of the apparatus (c) and each forming a rigid assembly comprising handles (d) for practicing the exercises.

  The structures here consist of metal tubes of circular section assembled together by: - Four fixing angles for the upper side bars and the vertical bars front and rear, Four T fixing the lower side bars to the vertical bars 25 front and rear, - Four T fixing the two rear side bars to the rear vertical bars, Four stoppers preventing the sliding of the high and low side bars on the rear vertical bars, Two screws and nuts fasten the transverse tube in unfolded position, For comfort and aesthetics are added: Handles, Rubber feet, Plastic end caps, - Velcro strap to fix the cross tube in the folded position, the assembly making approximately a weight of 6.5 kg
