Description

25 534 144 samtidigt många av musklerna i överkroppen och armarna. 25 534 144 at the same time many of the muscles in the upper body and arms.

Redskapet kan också med ett minimum av belastning användas för att mjuka upp kroppen och därmed förhindra ryggproblem m.m.The tool can also be used with a minimum of load to soften the body and thereby prevent back problems etc.

Redskapet lämpar sig även som träningsredskap för idrottsutövare, t.ex. för användning vid skuggboxning för att öva upp snabbheten i slagen.The tool is also suitable as a training tool for athletes, e.g. for use in shadow boxing to practice the speed of the strokes.

Vidareutvecklingar och föredragna utföringsformer av uppfinningen anges i underkraven.Further developments and preferred embodiments of the invention are set out in the subclaims.

Kort beskrivning av ritningen Ytterligare ändamål, kännetecken och fördelar med uppfinningen kommer att framgår av den efterföljande detaljerade beskrivningen av de pà ritningen visade utföringsformerna av uppfinningen, varvid Fig. 1 visar en schematisk vy av träningsredskapet enligt uppfinningen, och Fig. 2 visar schematiskt användningen av trâningsredskapet enligt uppfinningen.Brief description of the drawing Further objects, features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of the embodiments of the invention shown in the drawing, in which Fig. 1 shows a schematic view of the training tool according to the invention, and Fig. 2 schematically shows the use of the training tool according to the invention.

Detaljerad beskrivning av uppfinningen I Fig. l visas schematiskt en del av träningsredskapet enligt uppfinningen, vilken består av en central längsträckt ryggplatta 1 avsedd att vid användning av redskapet anligga mot en användares rygg. Ryggplattan har en längd sådan att den företrädesvis sträcker sig runt ryggpartiet och fram över överarmarna. Vidare har redskapet vid vardera kortsidan av ryggplattan anordnade elastiska element 2 respektive 3. Ett handtag 4, 5 år anordnat vid änden av respektive element 2, 3.Detailed description of the invention Fig. 1 schematically shows a part of the training tool according to the invention, which consists of a central elongate back plate 1 intended to rest against a user's back when using the tool. The back plate has a length such that it preferably extends around the back portion and forward over the upper arms. Furthermore, the implement has arranged elastic elements 2 and 3, respectively, at each short side of the back plate. A handle 4, 5 years is arranged at the end of the respective elements 2, 3.

I den pä ritningen visade, för närvarande föredragna utföringsformen av uppfinningen, är redskapet utformat med 10 15 20 25 534 144 ryggplattan l och de elastiska elementen 2, 3 utbildade i ett stycke. Det kan vara tillverkat av naturgummi, paragummi eller annat gummimaterial eller av ett syntetiskt material med motsvarande egenskaper.In the presently preferred embodiment of the invention shown in the drawing, the implement is formed with the back plate 1 and the elastic elements 2, 3 formed in one piece. It can be made of natural rubber, para-rubber or other rubber material or of a synthetic material with similar properties.

När redskapet är framställt i ett stycke av t.ex. naturgummi, paragummi eller motsvarande tillverkas ryggplattan väsentligt bredare än de delar som utgör de elastiska elementen.When the tool is made in one piece of e.g. natural rubber, para-rubber or the like, the back plate is manufactured significantly wider than the parts that make up the elastic elements.

Därigenom uppnås att vid användning av redskapet ryggplattan genom sin stora friktionsyta ligger stationàrt mot ryggen och inte glider uppåt, vilket ofelbart inträffar om ett smalt band används. Genom att de elastiska elementen är väsentligt smalare än ryggplattan kommer de elastiska elementen att töjas medan ryggplattan väsentligen inte påverkas. De elastiska elementens bredd skall därvid uppgå till maximalt halva ryggplattans bredd och företrädesvis till högst en tredjedel av ryggplattans bredd, t.ex. en femtedel.Thereby it is achieved that when using the tool the back plate through its large friction surface lies stationary against the back and does not slide upwards, which inevitably occurs if a narrow band is used. Because the elastic elements are substantially narrower than the back plate, the elastic elements will be stretched while the back plate is substantially unaffected. The width of the elastic elements shall then amount to a maximum of half the width of the back plate and preferably to a maximum of one third of the width of the back plate, e.g. a fifth.

Motståndet eller kraften som krävs för att sträcka ut de elastiska elementen kan varieras genom att ändra tjockleken av materialet som bildar ryggplatta och elastiska element, när redskapet tillverkas i ett stycke.The resistance or force required to stretch the elastic members can be varied by changing the thickness of the material forming the back plate and elastic members, when the tool is made in one piece.

Uppfinningen är emellertid inte begränsad till den i figur 1 visade utföringsformen. Istället kan de elastiska elementen 2, 3 utgöras av separata delar, som på lämpligt sätt är fastsatta i ryggplattan.However, the invention is not limited to the embodiment shown in Figure 1. Instead, the elastic elements 2, 3 can be constituted by separate parts, which are suitably fixed in the back plate.

När redskapet består av en ryggplatta och därpå anbringade, separat tillverkade elastiska element kan olika material väljas i ryggplatta respektive elastiska element. Vidare kan de elastiska elementens vara utformade godtyckligt, t.ex. stavformiga, slangformiga och med godtyckligt tvärsnitt. 10 15 534 144 Handtagen förbinds med de elastiska elementen på lämpligt sätt, t.ex. genom att de träs genom en öppning i en bygel 6 och fästs med en knut, visas vid 7, eller fästs med en klämma eller motsvarande, det elastiska elementets längd kan varieras. Ett grepp 8 med greppvänlig yta är anordnat i bygeln.When the implement consists of a back plate and elastic elements manufactured separately thereon, different materials can be selected in the back plate and elastic elements, respectively. Furthermore, the elastic elements can be designed arbitrarily, e.g. rod-shaped, tubular and with an arbitrary cross-section. The handles are connected to the elastic elements in a suitable manner, e.g. by threading them through an opening in a stirrup 6 and fastening them with a knot, shown at 7, or fastened with a clamp or the like, the length of the elastic element can be varied. A grip 8 with a grip-friendly surface is arranged in the stirrup.

Vid användning läggs ryggplattan 1 runt ryggpartiet hos en användare såsom illustreras i Fig. 2 med pilar A och B.In use, the back plate 1 is placed around the back portion of a user as illustrated in Fig. 2 with arrows A and B.

Ryggplattans utsträckning skall företrädesvis vara sådan att dess kortsidor hamnar ungefär mitt på eller förbi överarmarnas utsidor. Vid användning vrids överkroppen för aktivering av musklerna i bål och överkropp och genom att samtidigt trycka framåt med den ena eller båda armarna tränas särskilt musklerna i armar och skulderparti.The extent of the back plate should preferably be such that its short sides end up approximately in the middle of or past the outside of the upper arms. In use, the upper body is rotated to activate the muscles in the torso and upper body, and by simultaneously pushing forward with one or both arms, the muscles in the arms and shoulder area are specially trained.
