Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to fitness equipment.

[0002]

A drawback of the known fitness machines is that they require a great deal of space and their own room. This is because fitness equipment is a hindrance in the living area and impairs aesthetics.

Fitness machines typically have weight lifting equipment with lateral rods to which various weights may be fixed if desired. Furthermore, in the case of conventional fitness equipment, the assembly and the subsequent disassembly are very cumbersome and thus abandoned.

A further disadvantage of the known fitness equipment is that it requires an assistant to ensure the proper use of the weight lifting device and causes an unpleasant commotion during training.

[0005]

The object of the present invention is in particular to avoid the abovementioned drawbacks.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the fitness apparatus of the present invention, the above-mentioned problems are solved by providing two guide rods which are substantially vertical and which can be fixed to a wall, a door frame or the like and a floor if necessary. And the training device can be fixedly or movably mounted on the guide rod.

Advantageous configurations of the invention are described in the other claims.

[0008]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT According to FIG. 1, a fitness machine has a horizontal bar 1, which is guided by two guide members 2 to two vertical guide rods 3 and which is attached to the guide rods 3. It can be smoothly moved upward or downward along.

FIG. 1 shows the uppermost position of the horizontal bar 1 in which the fitness machine occupies a non-use position and is used as an upholstery.

Both guide rods 3 are arranged on the wall 4 in the region of a wall opening 5 formed as a door penetration between the two rooms. The floor 6 is shown in a sectional view, and two notches 7 are provided in the floor, and the lower end of the guide rod 3 is locked in the notches.

The guide rod 3 is formed as a tube and is bent at the upper end (see FIG. 3). The upper short legs are each fixed to the wall 4 by means of wall fixing members 8.

The guide rod 3 has locking holes 9 at predetermined intervals, and holding pins 10 are engaged in the uppermost locking holes 9, respectively. The member 2 and thus the horizontal bar 1 are held in the position shown.

Since the holding pin 10 can be inserted into the locking hole 9 and pulled out again, the lower stopper portion can be adjusted at an arbitrary position. A spring may be provided between the guide member 2 and the holding pin 10 (second
See figure).

For example, one brass ball 11 is provided at each end of the horizontal rod. The ball 11 is used as a weight for weight-lifting training and as an ornament.

In FIGS. 2 and 3, the fitness apparatus is shown in the training position. Since the retaining pin 10 is inserted further down, the bar 1 occupies a height suitable for the desired workout. A compression spring 12 used as a cushioning member is arranged between the holding pin 10 and the guide member 2.

To increase the weight, the sphere 11 is removed and a weight 13 is attached to the end of the crossbar 1. The horizontal rod 1 is guided by the guide rod 3 and can be pushed upward together with the weight 13 and lowered again.

In this case, the holding pin 10 is used as a stopper member and the compression spring 12 acts as a buffer. Therefore, training can be done without risk without the need for additional assistants.

After the training is finished (if desired), the weight 13 can be removed, the ball 11 can be reattached and the crossbar 1 can be brought upwards to the end position as shown in FIG.

As is clear from FIGS. 4 and 5, the guide member 2 is formed as a solid block, which can be made of plastic, for example. The guide member 2 has two three-dimensionally cutouts 14, 15 which are used to receive the guide rod 3 and the transverse bar 1, respectively.

The crossbar 1 is fixed in a notch 15, whereas the notch 14 is formed with sufficient play with respect to the guide rod 3 in order to allow a smooth sliding movement. I have to. The slit 16 is provided to provide such play.

FIGS. 6 and 7 show how the upper short leg of the guide rod 3 is fixed to the wall 4. The fixing plate 8 has a pin 17 with which the annular end of the guide rod 3 can be covered. The split pin 18 enables a reliable fixing.

To remove the guide rod 3, the split pin 1
8 can be pulled out and the guide rod 3 tilted somewhat in a direction away from the wall 4 and then pulled out of the floor cutout 7.

The fixing method of inserting the guide rod 3 into the floor cutout 7 and fixing the guide rod 3 in the floor range as shown is only an example. Advantageously, it is also possible to provide the floor with one fixing plate each with an upwardly projecting pin on which the lower end of the tubular guide rod 3 can be fitted.

Another embodiment is shown in FIG.
In this case, the guide rod 3 is formed by a linear rod 19 and an arm 20 forming a short leg of the guide rod 3. The arm 20 has a wall fixing member 8 at one end and a sleeve 21 at the other end for gripping the upper end of the linear rod 19.

An L-shaped fixing member 22 is provided on the floor on the lower side, and this fixing member 22 is fixedly screwed to a door frame 23 on the one hand and locked to a linear rod 19 on the other hand. Has been done. The upper wall fixing member 8 is also the door frame 2
It is screwed to 3.

The advantage of this fixed type is that the split pin 18 (7th
(See figure) is omitted and the floor does not have to be modified as is necessary when the floor cutout 7 is provided.

The arrangement according to the invention is advantageously used not only for the weight-lifting device according to the exemplary embodiment shown, but also for another fitness machine as a substructure. For example, a rowing seat can be installed in the range of the wall opening and fixed to the guide rod. Furthermore, the rope pulling device can be fixed to the guide rod.

9 and 10 show, in side and front view, another advantageous embodiment of a guide element corresponding to the guide element 2 described above.

In this embodiment, the guide member 24 shown in the figure has a substantially direct acting type ball bearing 25, and this direct acting type bearing moves along the guide rod 3 via a ball located inside. A flange 27 is engaged with the direct acting type ball bearing 25, and the flange 27 is engaged with each side, for example, the horizontal bar 1
A U-shaped member 28 for receiving is screwed.

The direct-acting type ball bearing 25 can advantageously slide as a guide member along the guide rod virtually without friction even when a tilting force is applied.

FIG. 11 shows an example of using a fitness machine using only one guide rod. A transverse hole 29 is provided in the guide rod 3 at various heights, and in one of the transverse holes 29 the shafts 30 of the two deflection rollers 31 for guiding the two pull ropes 32 are engaged. I am fit.

The U-shaped holding member 33 prevents the pulling rope 32 from protruding from the deflecting roller 31. The pulling rope 32 is guided downward by the guide member 24 in parallel with the guide rod 3, and the guide member 24 is attached to the weight 3
It has a short transverse bar 34 on which 5 is arranged.

A grip 36 is provided at the other end of the pull rope. By pulling the pull rope 37 in the direction of arrow 37, the weight 35 moves upwards or downwards in the direction of arrow 38. Various muscle parts of the body can be trained according to the arrangement height of the deflection roller 31 with respect to the guide rod 3 and the body orientation.

In the embodiment according to FIG. 11, an additional wall support member 39 is provided at the lower end of the guide rod 3,
The wall support member 39 is fixedly connected to the guide rod 3 and the wall 4.

The wall support member 39 is used as a lower stopper for the guide member 24 and as an additional or independent fixing member for the lower end of the guide rod 3 to the wall. Such a wall support member can advantageously also be provided in the other exemplary embodiments according to FIGS.
