(RU 133416 U1, http://new.fips.ru).

The task to which the claimed solution is directed is the development of a simulator for the calf muscles of a simple and safe design with the ability to perform exercises in a standing position.

The essence of the invention

The problem is solved due to the fact that the simulator for the calf muscles has a base (1) of Fig. 2, 3, consisting of interconnected longitudinal and transverse elements. The ends of the transverse elements of the base (1) of the simulator are located at a distance from the longitudinal elements of the base (1) and have pads (1.1) made of anti-slip material. This design allows to increase the bearing area of the base (1) of the simulator, which improves its stability on a horizontal surface, eliminating the swinging of the simulator during the exercise, and the presence of pads (1.1) at the ends of the transverse elements of the base (1) prevents the simulator from sliding on the floor surface during exercise, which increases operational safety. Base (1) of Fig. 1, 2, 3 of the simulator has a support stand (2) for hands, which allows you to perform the exercise on the simulator in a standing position, training all the muscles of the calves from the knee to the ankle joint. Support post for hands (2) of fig. 2, 3 has a two-arm lever (2.1), at the ends of which there are grips (2.2) made of anti-slip material, ensuring reliable grip of the hands with the stand (2), which prevents the hands from slipping off the support stand (2) during the exercise, thus thereby increasing the operational safety of the simulator. Lodgment for legs (3) of fig. 1, 2, 3 is fixed in hinge joints (3.1) with the possibility of rotation around a horizontal axis passing perpendicular to the longitudinal elements of the base (1) and has a side (3.2) of Fig. 3, made along the contour of the lodgment (3), which prevents the feet from slipping off the surface of the lodgment (3), which increases operational safety.

The calf muscle trainer includes a base (1) of FIG. 1, 2, 3, foot rest (3), hand support (2).

Base (1) of Fig. 2, 3 simulator contains longitudinal and transverse elements, coupled to each other. The ends of the transverse elements of the base (1) are located at a distance from the longitudinal elements of the base (1) and have pads (1.1) made of anti-slip material. This design allows to increase the bearing area of the base (1) of the simulator, which improves its stability on a horizontal surface, eliminating the swinging of the simulator during the exercise, and the presence of pads (1.1) at the ends of the transverse elements of the base (1) prevents the simulator from sliding on the floor surface during exercise, which increases operational safety. The transverse and longitudinal elements of the base (1) are made of steel profile, which allows the base (1) of the simulator to withstand heavy operating loads. Two longitudinal elements of the base (1) have a platform (1.2) of Fig. 1, 3 on which the hinge assembly (3.1) of FIG. 2 located above the longitudinal element of the base (1) and connected to it through the support (1.3) of FIG. 1. Articulated platforms (3.1) are placed opposite each other. This design allows you to set the axis of rotation of the lodgment for legs (3) at a distance above the base (1). A housing bearing is used as the hinge assembly (3.1). This design allows to reduce the complexity of the repair maintenance of the simulator due to the quick replacement of the hinge assembly (3.1) without special tools.

Lodgment for legs (3) of fig. 3 has a side (3.2) made around the perimeter of the lodgement (3), which prevents the feet from slipping off the surface of the lodgement (3) during the exercise, which increases operational safety. From two opposite sides on the outer surface, the side (3.2) has an axis for fastening the lodgement (3) in the hinge joints (3.1) of the simulator. The horizontal surface of the cradle (3), bounded by a ledge (3.2), is coated with an anti-slip material. The lodgement (3) has the possibility of rotation around a horizontal axis passing perpendicular to the longitudinal elements of the base (1).

Base (1) of Fig. 2, 3, the simulator has a support stand for hands (2), which is located at an angle to the base (1) and is associated with the transverse element of the base (1). The handstand (2) has supports (2.3), which are connected at one end with the stand (2) and at the other end with the longitudinal element of the base (1). At the opposite end of the base (1), the stand (2) has a two-arm lever (2.1), at the ends of which there are grips (2.2) made of anti-slip material, ensuring reliable grip of the hands with the stand (2), which prevents hands from slipping off the support stand (2) during the exercise, thereby improving the operational safety of the simulator. The column (2) and its supports (2.3) are made of steel profile, which allows them to withstand heavy operating loads.

EFFECT: creation of a simulator for the calf muscles of a simple and safe design with the possibility of performing exercises in a standing position.
