Definitions

  • the invention relates to a training apparatus, in particular an elliptical trainer or cross trainer, with two pedals which are fitted on a respective pedal bar, rear ends of the pedal bars being connected in an articulated manner to a respective pedal crank.
  • the pedal cranks are arranged rotatably about an axis.
  • Training apparatus of this type are disclosed, for example, in the utility model with the publication number DE 201 00 276 U1. Furthermore, training apparatus' of this type are produced and sold by various suppliers, including the applicant.
  • the training apparatus disclosed in the publication with the publication number DE 201 00 267 U1 has two pedals which are connected fixedly to the associated pedal bars. A user of the training apparatus, who stands on the pedals of the training apparatus, therefore executes every movement which the pedal bars execute.
  • the movement is essentially elliptical, for which reason the term elliptical trainer is also used.
  • the training apparatus disclosed in the publication has the possibility of setting different strides, i.e. elliptical movements of different size, depending in each case on the users height. For smaller individuals with a smaller stride, an ellipse having smaller radii can be set, and for larger individuals having a larger stride, an ellipse having a larger radius can be set.
  • the invention is based on an object of permitting a more natural sequence of movement, in particular a more natural movement of the legs and the hips, for the user than in the case of the previously known cross trainers.
  • the pedals being mounted displaceably on the pedal bars.
  • the pedals are mounted displaceably on the pedal bars in such a manner that they are displaced forward and rearward during use of the training apparatus.
  • the pedals are therefore displaceable on the pedal bars during operation and do not execute the movement of the pedal bars one to one. As a result, a more natural movement is permitted for the user.
  • the pedals are preferably connected in an articulated manner to a respective push bar, it being possible for these push bars to be connected in an articulated manner to a respective push bar crank.
  • These push bar cranks are preferably arranged rotatably about the same axis about which the pedal cranks are already rotatably arranged. Via the push bar cranks and the push bars, each pedal is pushed to and fro on the pedal bar during operation of the training apparatus. The pedals therefore execute a defined movement on the pedal bars. By means of these movements of the pedals, the ellipse is overall shallower, which corresponds to a more natural sequence of movement.
  • the distances between the points of engagement of the push bars on the push bar cranks and the axis are adjustable. Adaptation to individuals having different strides is therefore possible.
  • the pedal cranks and/or the push bar cranks may be completely or partially formed by circular disks.
  • the points of engagements of the pedal bars on the pedal cranks and if appropriate the points of engagement of the push bars on the push bar cranks lie preferably in a plane which also includes the axis about which the pedal cranks and the push bar cranks rotate.
  • the front ends of pedal bars of a training apparatus can be connected in an articulated manner to a respective pedal lever.
  • the pedal levers for their part can be fitted pivotably in a respective front bearing.
  • This front bearing is preferably fitted with height adjustment to a front part of the frame of the training apparatus.
  • the ellipse which is normally aligned essentially horizontally, can be inclined upward or downward by the height-adjustability of the front bearing. By means of an inclination of this type, the sensation of going uphill or downhill can be imparted to a user.
  • the training apparatus with a height-adjustable front bearing can have particular adjustment means for adjusting the height of the front bearing.
  • These adjustment means may comprise a drive, in particular an electric motor, so that the adjustment of the front bearing does not have to take place manually.
  • the adjustment means advantageously have elements for converting a rotational movement into a linear movement.
  • Elements of this type may comprise a spindle on which a nut can be rotatably fitted.
  • Handles on which the user can place his hands during the exercises are preferably fitted or integrally formed on the pedal levers.
  • FIG. 1 shows a side view of the cross trainer
  • FIG. 2 shows a plan view of the cross trainer
  • FIG. 3 shows a view from the rear
  • FIG. 4 shows a view from the front
  • FIG. 5 shows a perspective illustration
  • the cross trainer illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 5 has a frame with a lower part 1 a and a front part 1 b.
  • the frame is produced essentially by two hollow profiles arranged at a distance from each other.
  • the hollow profiles are largely guided parallel to each other, in particular in the region of the front part 1 b of the frame.
  • the hollow profiles are angled, so that they lie directly adjacent to each other in this region.
  • first webs 1 c The upwardly protruding ends of the hollow profiles forming the front part 1 b of the frame are connected to each other via first webs 1 c. These first webs 1 c are produced from pieces of flat steel.
  • the two hollow profiles are connected to each other in the region of the front part 1 b of the frame via a second web 1 d composed of a hollow profile.
  • An electric motor 5 is fastened to this web 1 d, which is fitted below the two first webs 1 c.
  • This electric motor 5 drives a spindle element 4 , the length of which can be changed by the electric motor 5 .
  • the spindle element At its lower end, the spindle element is fitted to a fitting 2 which is connected fixedly to the web 1 d.
  • the upper end of the spindle element 4 is connected to a fitting 3 which is fastened to a cross piece 7 .
  • This cross piece 7 is mounted displaceably between the first webs 1 c on sliding tubes 6 .
  • the height of the cross piece 7 can be changed.
  • Projecting struts 7 a which are height-adjustable together with the cross piece 7 are fitted fixedly to the cross piece 7 .
  • Two front bearings 8 are provided at the free ends of the struts 7 a.
  • a respective pedal lever 9 is mounted pivotably on these front bearings 8 .
  • the pedal levers 9 extend both below the front bearings 8 and above the bearings 8 , with the upper ends of the pedal levers 9 forming handles 10 .
  • the lower ends of the pedal levers 9 are connected in an articulated manner to front ends of pedal bars 12 via a bearing 11 .
  • the rear ends of the pedal bars 12 are connected to pedal cranks 21 a, 21 b via bearings formed from bearing bushings 12 a and journals 20 , with the pedal crank 21 a being formed by a circular disk 21 a.
  • the two pedal cranks 21 a, 21 b are rotatable about a common axis A.
  • the points of engagement of the pedal bars 12 on the pedal cranks 21 a, 21 b are provided at the same distance from the axis A.
  • the points of engagement are situated diametrically opposite each other relative to the axis A.
  • a centrifugal mass 24 designed as a flywheel is driven by the pedal crank designed as a circular disk 21 a.
  • a toothed belt or V-belt 23 is laid over the circular disk 21 a.
  • This belt drives the centrifugal mass 24 with the interconnection of a gear.
  • a housing 25 is provided in the region of the centrifugal mass 24 , in which housing various electrical components, for example an eddy current brake, various sensors and so on are accommodated.
  • Guide elements 14 are provided on the pedal bars 12 .
  • Pedals 13 can be displaced on these guide elements 14 in the direction of extent of the pedal bars 12 .
  • the person using the cross trainer stands on these pedals.
  • the pedals 13 are connected to a first end of a push bar 16 via bearings 15 .
  • the push bars 16 are connected at their second end via a respective bearing 17 to push bar cranks 19 .
  • the push bar cranks 19 are connected fixedly to the bearing journal 20 on which the push bar cranks 20 engage by means of their bearing bushings 12 a.
  • These push bar cranks 19 which are likewise designed as circular disks, are rotatable about the axis A in the same manner as the pedal cranks 21 a, 21 b.
  • the points of engagement of the push bars 16 on the push bar cranks 19 are situated diametrically opposite each other and in a plane E which contains the points of engagement of the push bars 16 on the push bar cranks 19 , the points of engagement of the pedal bars and the pedal cranks 21 a, 21 b and the axis A.
  • the push bar cranks 19 , the bearing journal 20 , the pedal cranks 21 a, 21 b and a shaft (not illustrated) connecting the pedal cranks 21 a and 21 b to each other are connected rigidly to one another and form a multiply stepped crankshaft.
  • the inclination of the pedals 13 can be changed by the height-adjustability of the front bearing 8 and therefore of the point of engagement of the pedal lever 9 on the front part 1 b of the frame. If the front bearing 8 is raised, the sensation of having to move uphill is imparted to the user. A lowering of the front bearing 8 enables the opposite to be achieved; the sensation of moving downhill is namely imparted to the user.
  • connection at the second ends of the push bars 16 and the push bar cranks 19 is releasable.
  • the point of engagement of the second ends of the push bars 16 i.e. the bearings 17
  • the point of engagement of the second ends of the push bars 16 can be displaced radially or offset on a line E.
