RU105839U1 - Treadmill for Gyms - Google Patents

Abstract

 A treadmill of this type consists of a frame on which a web made of rubber, rubber or similar elastic materials is attached, equipped with an electric drive for longitudinal movement, the inclination of which can be changed using a microcontroller connected to the control panel on the upper frame of the specified device , and where the canvas itself is coated with artificial grass.

Description

This utility model relates to types of gymnastic running machines that are used in gyms, hotels, sports facilities, apartments and private homes for burning calories and running sports.

The utility model object is designed to provide gyms with treadmills that provide an opportunity for both beginner runners and specialists to train in a way that meets the customer's requirements for the terrain, especially the presence of grass cover.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF USEFUL MODEL

It is known that the cult of sports and a healthy lifestyle is increasingly spreading to all social levels. At the same time, running is one of the sports most frequently practiced by society.

Running is a type of highly impulsive physical activity that causes tension and microtrauma in joints, tendons, ligaments, etc., at the time of reaching the highest point of the jump.

Due to the notoriety of running trauma, it is necessary to take precautionary measures to ensure that this type of activity will not harm the body, ideally, harm should not be caused during the exercise.

The main factors affecting the possibility of microtrauma are, firstly, shoes, and secondly, the surface on which this type of activity is carried out.

So, hard surfaces, such as asphalt, cause greater returns and less amortization, increasing the potential for lesions and causing tendonitis (dystrophy of the tendon tissue (inflammation of the tendons)), periostitis (inflammation of the periosteum, covering the bone), joint damage, etc. .

Moreover, it should be noted that the danger increases with the use of this type of load by overweight people who are usually not aware of the technical side of the issue regarding the choice of a training surface.

Thus, overweight people should pay more attention to this issue and not deal with hard surfaces such as cement, asphalt, plank flooring, etc.

It should also be noted that the number of visitors to gyms is significantly increasing every year. Most of them strive to burn calories, and thus lose weight, which makes treadmills an important and necessary thing, since the number of calories burned on this exercise machine is much larger than, for example, an exercise bike, walking simulator or even a rowing simulator.

The problem with such devices is the surface of a moving canvas, which is made of a material based on rubber, rubber, or similar, and which in its characteristics differs from surfaces on which training in the open air, such as on grass, is usually done.

Therefore, it would be desirable that the moving track of the treadmill, on which the exercises are performed, be as close as possible to the real conditions when the training takes place outdoors, while the risk of injury is significantly reduced.

DESCRIPTION OF A USEFUL MODEL

The treadmill canvas proposed in the utility model completely solves the problem described earlier by offering a training surface that mimics grass.

For this reason, we take as a basis a web that is usually installed on any type of treadmills, and includes the web itself, attached to the electric drive for longitudinal movement together with tilt controls and which is controlled by a microcontroller on the panel of the main frame attached to the end of the web, giving the opportunity to fully control both the speed of the canvas and the slope depending on the number of calories that need to be burned and the time spent on it.

Based on an ordinary design, a characteristic feature of the utility model is that the canvas itself, made of rubber, rubber or similar materials, giving strength, elasticity and increasing the useful life of the product, carries a work surface covered with artificial grass (glued or attached in any other way)

As a result, the surface on which the user steps is different from ordinary treadmills, providing equally different sensations similar to those experienced by the user while running on the grass outdoors, making this sport more comfortable and attractive for those who practices it.

DESCRIPTION OF FIGURES

In addition to the specified description and to provide a better understanding of the characteristics of the utility model and in accordance with the preferred form of its practical implementation, we place the figure as an integral part of the specified description, indicating as an illustration the following, without limitation:

Figure 2. - Shows the details of the transverse profile of the actual structure of the treadmill

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF USEFUL MODEL

In the images shown, the treadmill (1) is based, similarly to standard devices of this type, on the main frame (2), which has small wheels (3) or supporting legs (3) for movement, together with supports (4) for stabilization on the floor, including vertical handles (5), the main frame (2) to which the web (6) is attached and which is driven in the longitudinal direction by one or more electric motors (7), with a suitable downstream speed to control the web as such (6), while how the main frame should, in turn, connect the devices at the back and (8) adjust the tilt (6) both up and down, turn on an electric switch or a similar element, which means adjusting the height and speed of the web (6) connected to the microcontroller, which is controlled by the command panel (9) on the upper surface of the handles (5), and has the usual handrails (10) to support the hands of the runner.

In accordance with the main idea of the utility model, on the basis of this structure defined by this description, the canvas (6) essentially consists of two layers of different nature. The first layer, the inner surface, as follows from the description, is made of an elastic material: rubber, rubber or similar materials. The second is the outer layer (11), superimposed on the previous one, made of artificial grass using polyethylene fibers of various lengths and designed for specific needs in each individual case, attached to the moving canvas (6) using an adhesive or other similar method.

Naturally, changing the size of the frame will be redesigned to significantly increase the density of the new assembly of the canvas as such. The rest of the device will change slightly.

Claims (1)

A treadmill of this type consists of a frame on which a web made of rubber, rubber or similar elastic materials is attached, equipped with an electric drive for longitudinal movement, the inclination of which can be changed using a microcontroller connected to the control panel on the upper frame of the specified device , and where the canvas itself is coated with artificial grass.
