The level of technology.

A device for training is known, comprising two external disks with circumferential grooves and rolling balls mounted in them and an inclined insert additionally located between the external disks, for example, in the form of a cylinder with two round flat surfaces adjacent to the external disks and with grooves made around their circumference with rolling balls installed in them, while the flat surfaces of the inclined insert are at an acute angle to each other, and the external disks can rotate relative to the flat surfaces of the inclined insert on the axis of rotation in the center of their circles; [1] (document No. 2424025 C1, class A63B 22/00, publication date 07/20/2011).

The disadvantages of this simulator include the difficulty in manufacturing and the bulky design that does not allow you to easily transfer the simulator from place to place, for example, take his student with him to school and use it while sitting at a desk or at a computer in class.

Known vestibular gymnastic simulator, made in the form of a disk, with holes and a handle mounted on an unstable surface: a rod of circular cross section with fasteners or hemispherical support, which is rigidly fixed symmetrically in the center from the bottom of the disk; [2] (document No. 101641 U1, class А63В 23/02, publication date 1/27/2011.).

The disadvantages of this simulator include a rigid connection of the platform with a hemispherical support, when it is used, some types of flooring become unusable at the contact points, the simulator is dangerous for use by young children, weakened after illness, or by older people, in addition, it is not possible to perform some types of lungs exercises, for example exercises with rotation in the horizontal plane.

Known balancing simulator containing a balancing element and a support, and on the last mounted rack with a hinge, through which the support is connected to the balancing element, while the hinge is formed by a spherical upper end of the rack and the receiving seat, made in the form of a sphere-shaped recess in the base plate mounted on the balancing plate element, the rack is made in the form of a cone, the diameter of the base of which exceeds the diameter of the spherical upper end of the rack, and a fixing shaw is fixed to the base plate a ba made of an elastic material, the diameter of the hole of which is less than the diameter of the spherical upper end of the rack, and the inclination of the balancing element is limited by the stop at the edge of the support, made round; [3] (document No. 93286 U1, class А63В 23/00, А63В 23/02, А61Н 1/02, publication date 04/27/2010).

The disadvantages of this simulator include difficulty in manufacturing, in addition, it is not possible to perform some types of light exercises, for example, exercises with rotation in a horizontal plane.

Known for the closest to the invention analogue (prototype) - the simulator "Health Disk Twister", consisting of two disks interconnected by an axis with a washer, containing balls located between the disks inside the simulator on treadmills; [4] (class A63 B 22/14, document - article “Twister Health Disk” “leader-sport” online store (http://leader-sport.com.ua/p4150036-disk-zdorovya-tvister.html) .

The disadvantages of this simulator include the complexity of the design, in which to ensure the rotation of the disk elements relative to each other, it is necessary to install rolling balls between them, which during class create considerable noise, this perceptible drawback does not allow the simulator to be used in the room where a small child is sleeping, or late at night and at night in apartment buildings, the disadvantages include the lack of the ability to conduct workouts in balancing 3D mode.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The purpose of the invention is the creation of a multifunctional balancing simulator for general use with freely and silently rotating-sliding discs of the simulator, which is always at hand, at any time, anywhere, ready to use, which combines the possibility of rotation in a horizontal plane (as indicated simulator “Twister Health Disk”), with the ability to perform exercises in 3D volume (as on well-known balancing simulators), and also allows you to train in balancing mode, in position with AH, the muscles of the waist and back.

This goal is achieved by the fact that the simulator, consisting of two disks connected by an axis, restrains disks that are made of durable material, such as wood, or plywood, or metal, or rubber, or of molded plastic, or combined of these materials, and the axis, made in the form of a tube with flared ends. Free and silent rotation-sliding of the disks and additional alignment, excluding lateral loads on the axis, are ensured by the fact that the inner surfaces of the disks are made with at least one concentric groove on one disk and at least one concentric protrusion on the second disk moreover, in the assembled state, each protrusion coincides with an adjacent groove, in addition, the implementation of the axis in the form of a tube makes it possible to use it as a receiving place for fasteners, with the help of which a decomposition is fixed on the simulator egg devices that expand its functionality.

An embodiment of the simulator is possible, in which, to reduce friction between the disks and ensure their easy rotation-sliding, an antifriction layer is laid on the inner surfaces of the disks.

An embodiment of the simulator is possible, in which the antifriction layers and the layers of noise-absorbing shock-absorbing material are a set of individual plates placed between the disks.

A simulator embodiment is possible in which additional receiving places for fasteners are made on the outer surfaces of the disks, with the help of which various devices expanding its functionality are fixed on the simulator, for example, platforms representing unstable supporting surfaces in the form of a cone or a cone with a truncated apex , or a convex spherical segment, as well as various removable overhead devices, such as massage pads, or magnetic applicators, or palm rests or anatomical seats, or orthopedic saddles, or spinal lodges.

An embodiment of the simulator is possible in which at least one of the disks is made in the shape of a cone, or a cone with a truncated apex, or a convex spherical segment.

The invention has a simple and compact, safe and reliable design, suitable for training with horizontal rotation, and for balancing in 3D volume, can be used in combination with various removable devices as a balancing seat, platform for legs or supporting surface for hands when push-ups from the floor, provides the opportunity to exercise in any room, in open areas and even on a sandy beach by people of any age and physical fitness, allows you to independently expand the range of exercises and adjust the intensity of the load, in addition, it is possible to manufacture simulators with a diameter less than the standard for children, and with a diameter larger than the standard, for large and obese people, and, very importantly, there is no characteristic noise during classes on the proposed simulator taking place in exercise machines with rolling balls.

Leaning your hands on the simulator lying on the floor, taking the emphasis lying down, push up and at the same time rotate the simulator from side to side. To increase the effectiveness of training, two simulators are used, placing them under each leg or under each arm. Sitting on the simulator, lying on a chair, resting his feet on the floor, they simultaneously perform rotational and oscillatory movements of the body and arms, twisting and bending the spine, the same thing - holding hands at the table. The list of exercises is not limited to the above options and can be independently supplemented by each person.

For even greater effect, various devices are fixed on one or both external surfaces of the simulator, increasing its functionality, for example, platforms that are unstable supporting surfaces in the form of a cone, a cone with a truncated apex, a convex spherical segment, and various removable overhead devices: massage pads, magnetic applicators, anatomical seats, orthopedic saddles, spinal lodgements, palm rests and perform the same exercises, however, the load velichivaetsya many times, in such a simulator suitable for the training of professional athletes and strength athletes. Regular use of the invention will allow you to form a slender figure and a real "royal" posture. It is no exaggeration to say that the BALATRON simulator is your royal become!
