The closest solution is the invention CN2243918, which describes a table with built-in exercise machines, while the design is fully consistent with the functions of the table.

Differences from the stated solution are that:

- A wardrobe with a simulator is a different type of furniture and is not intended for use as a table, but it has wide possibilities for storing things;

- The wardrobe with the simulator has compartments for folding things.

The technical result of the claimed invention is to create a cabinet with a built-in simulator, which retains the functions of storing things (including hanging items) and has elements of a simulator built into the body of the cabinet and / or having separate compartments for the location of simulators.

The technical result is achieved by placing on the surface of cabinet elements (shelves, sidewalls, doors, etc.) parts and elements of simulators, allocating part of the space (including limiting this space with partitions) of the cabinet for placing simulators and their individual parts and elements with the condition of preserving space for placing hanging, lying and in a different state of things and objects.

Particular cases of manufacturing a structure are:

- Using cabinet doors as side loads (side elements of simulators);

- Use of weighting materials in the form of weight plates and / or weights, springs, elastic elements;

- Placement in the structure of a different number of simulators and their elements that differ from the one described;

- Embedding a treadmill and other exercise equipment into the body of the cabinet with the possibility of extension;

- Using a different type of seat or other way of extending it;

- Application of the simulator design in combination with storage, wine cabinets, cupboards, books, etc .;

- Placement in the closet of exercise equipment or their elements such as treadmill, treadmill, bicycle exercise machine, crossbar and other well-known exercise equipment;

- Use of cabinet weights to reduce its center of gravity;

- Use for placement of the structure of wooden, metal, plastic cabinets.

The main principle implemented in the invention is that a cabinet designed for placing things and objects has in its design simulators and their elements placed in the cabinet or combined with a rigid connection (it is a welded, bolted, hook connection, a connection using self-tapping screws , bushings, interference fits, lock washers, bends of the cabinet elements and / or simulator elements) between the cabinet and / or its elements and the simulator and / or its elements.

Hereinafter, the word "cable" means a cable having a small diameter and designed to transfer the load.

A cabinet with a built-in simulator can be used as follows:

As can be seen in the images (Fig. 1, Fig. 3), a sufficiently large space between the simulators can be provided in the closet to accommodate things. For storing clothes and other things, the cabinet body (1) is equipped with shelves, partitions and, if necessary, a special bar for placing hanging clothes or things. Thus, the main functionality of the cabinet is maintained, namely the ability to store and store.

The use of simulators is carried out depending on the type of simulator, the method of its attachment and other features.

The exercise machine, which is a barbell-crossbar (8), is designed to influence the muscles of a person's hands by pulling up. A possible scheme of its operation involves pulling the bar-crossbar (8) to the person sitting on the seat (4). In this case, the bar-crossbar (8) with the help of a cable (7) laid through the guides (9) is connected to the weight plates (11), which create force and increase the load on the muscles working in this case. The weight plates (11) are located inside the load box (10), which provides a more aesthetic appearance of the cabinet and protection from getting things from the cabinet into the gaps between the weight plates (11), which can lead to damage to things and blocking the work of the simulator. The number of weight plates (11) connected to the cable (7) can be adjusted by means of various connections, due to which the load on the human muscles is also regulated.

The side load simulator (6) works in a similar way, but when not in use it can be stowed in the cabinet body (1). Thus, in order to perform sports activities associated with this simulator, it is necessary to open the cabinet doors (2), prepare the seat (4), if necessary, reinforce it with a stand (12). Next, it is necessary to raise the blocker (15) to move the main part of the lateral load (6) relative to the hook (14), giving the simulator a working position. In this case, the main part of the side load (6) can have a different shape and be foldable depending on the size of the cabinet and the degree of proximity to a person. Sports exercises can be carried out by bringing the main part of the lateral load (6) to the human body with the help of the hands, and the force on the simulator is created by fastening the lateral load (6) to the hook (14) using the blocker (15), which is responsible for the possibility of free movement side load in order to give it a working position or put it in a cabinet. The hook (14) is connected with a cable (7), which is routed through the guides (9) and connected to the weight plates (11).

In the cabinet body (1), it is possible to place other simulators with the possibility of extension, which can be connected through some kind of connection with the cabinet structure or not. An example of such a placed exercise machine is a treadmill (5) with folding handles, which allows it to be placed on one of the shelves of the cabinet. It is activated by pulling the treadmill (5) out of the cabinet. Moreover, the extension can also be carried out along the guiding elements, slide or with the help of a certain vertical axis providing rotation, which partially connect the simulator with the cabinet body (1).

Design features:

1. Possibility of using construction weights. When using the simulators described above, in most cases there is no need to additionally weight the cabinet in order to increase its stability, since the person on the seat (4) and the weight plates (11) create a fairly stable equilibrium system. However, when replacing the weight plates (11), for example, with elastic elements, the center of gravity of the cabinet structure will shift. And when using some equipment not described above, the cabinet may tend to fall. For example, when using a fixed pull-up bar fixed at the top of the cabinet, the sports person can tilt and drop the cabinet on himself. In order to prevent this possibility, it is assumed that the cabinet can be weighted by using heavier materials in its structure, or by installing an additional element with a higher weight.

2. Possibility of fixing the cabinet to the wall. Under certain conditions, the cabinet can be fixed to the wall with anchor bolts or dowels, which is also a measure to prevent the cabinet from falling when using some exercise equipment. Fastening the cabinet to the wall, as well as the use of weighting materials, is optional and depends on the design of the cabinet itself and the simulators used. Moreover, fixing the cabinet to the wall and weighting the structure can be used both separately from each other and together.

3. Use of various simulators and their combinations. In addition to the described types of simulators, others, both already known and designed, can be used, provided that the basic principle of the invention is preserved. For example, the structure can be retrofitted with a leg inflator, an abdominal muscle stimulator, an exercise bike, and others. Corresponding to the use of various simulators, the set of the simulator elements used, intended both for the direct operation of the simulator and for fastening to the cabinet, also changes. For example, in the description of images, crossbars, crossbar rods (8), side loads (6) blockers (15), hooks (14), cables (7), guides (9), weight plates (11) are used, but depending on the simulator placed in the cabinet can also use other parts or other elements. At the same time, simulators can have folding elements to reduce the occupied space

4. Use of cabinets for various purposes. Wardrobes, wardrobes, wine cabinets, metal, wooden, plastic cabinets can be used to accommodate simulators. At the same time, the method of placing simulators in cabinets can be different, but at the same time, the basic principle of a cabinet with a built-in simulator should be preserved and the functionality should be provided both for using the cabinet for storing and arranging things, objects, dishes, and the availability of simulators.

5. The use of load elements in the form of weight plates, weights, springs, elastic elements. The main purpose of the load box (10) is to protect things and elements of the simulator from interfering with the storage or operation of the simulator. In this case, the load box can have separate doors designed to access the mechanism in order to regulate the force and can have a different size and shape, which depends both on the shape of the applied loads and their size. In this case, it is possible to use both weight plates (11) having different weights and shapes as a load, and to replace weight plates with other load elements. So the load can be created by springs, elastic elements (for example, rubber or silicone bands) providing an increase in the load during tension. Weights of various shapes and weights can also be used. Moreover, the load elements can be used both separately and together.

6. Using built-in simulators and hosted. As already described above, the cabinet may have built-in exercise equipment (example: barbell, crossbar (8), side load (6)), which are rigidly connected to the cabinet elements. So can be used placed simulators (for example, a treadmill (5)), the main difference of which is the absence of a rigid connection or connection with the elements of the cabinet. Such simulators can be specially designed to be placed in furniture, the cabinet can have a special compartment or shelf for storing them, but they are not a direct part of the cabinet built into its structure. Moreover, the placed simulators can use the cabinet body or other of its elements to ensure the correct position when playing sports.

7. Possible treadmill options. FIG. 5 shows a possible variant of the used treadmill, which works as follows: the handles of the treadmill (19) are foldable, which allows it to be placed on a separate shelf (3) of the cabinet. The treadmill is activated using an electric motor (2), which, by means of pulleys and a belt (21) worn on them, drives the rollers (18), on which a running belt (17) is worn, on which a person can walk or run. In some cases, it is possible to use a treadmill without handles (19), instead of which cabinet elements can be used, or separate handles or recesses for hands can be located on the cabinet body (1). It is possible to use a treadmill without an electric motor, but with an inclination of the treadmill, due to which an increase in the speed of the treadmill (17) under the influence of human gravity will be ensured, and the treadmill can be inclined by installing part of the treadmill body (16) on the edge of the lower cabinet shelves. Can be used without running belt or without running belt and electric motor. In this case, a person performs a sports exercise on a treadmill roller. It is also possible to replace the treadmill (5) with a treadmill or other exercise machine suitable for the cabinet or adapted design.

8. Using cabinet doors as a sporting element. Cabinet doors (2), depending on their type, size, design, can be adapted for use as a simulator element. For example, cabinet doors (2) can be used in place of the side load main body. At the same time, it is necessary to fix the corresponding elements to them and ensure the possibility of removing or neutralizing the sports simulator on the cabinet doors (2), since a constant load on them can interfere with the main functionality of the cabinet.

9. Application of the stand under the seat. The post (12) supporting the seat (4) is optional. The need for its application depends on the type of seat and its attachment to the cabinet, the method of its extension. In some cases, the post (12) can be replaced with cables, ropes and / or rods holding the seat (4) from above in a given position.

10. Connection of cables of various simulators. As mentioned above, the cables (7) can be associated with various simulators. Sometimes this connection is provided simultaneously. Therefore, it is assumed that in order to prevent sagging of the cables from the simulators not being used at the moment, a certain system will be used. For example, a cable junction (7) can be provided in which unused cables are caught on hooks (for example), and used cables from the simulators engage with the main cable associated with the load elements. A separate spring structure can be used to hold the unused cables in place, or it is possible to secure the elements of the simulators (for example, the bar-crossbar (8)) to prevent them from moving.

11. Use of rods. Instead of cables (7), which along the guides (9) transfer the load from the weight plates (11) to the simulator and the muscles of a person, special-purpose rods can be used that have a horizontal, vertical, diagonal appearance, both with the possibility of rotation and without rotation. Moreover, the main function of the rods corresponds to the main function of the cables - the transfer of the load from the weight plates (11) to the simulator and the corresponding human muscles. At the same time, the rods can also have blockers and connections that allow you to use one or another type of simulator separately. Also, rods can be used separately or in conjunction with cables.

The solution of the previously described tasks is facilitated by fixing the elements of simulators on the case and inside the case of the cabinet, maintaining the necessary space for placing and storing things and the presence of separate shelves and compartments for accommodating simulators of a suitable or adapted design.
