Definitions

• the invention relates to a weight skate for weight training of the lower limbs which comprises a carriage carrying a weight device and a footrest.
• the weight skate can be moved on the ground by means of rollers or slide along a slide by a rolling or sliding friction mechanism.
• the rollers can be free or equipped with a braking system.
• We already know weight machines of the roller skate type (FR-A-1-257090.P.BIDET). They have the disadvantage of being aimed at both the lower limbs and the upper limbs and are less effective. he weights are distributed on both sides of the gutter, which is not convenient, they do not use the weights in the form of disc which one finds in the trade, the rollers are orientable therefore special, finally they cannot fit on a slide.
• the object of the present invention is to remedy these drawbacks. It is specific for the lower limbs and uses commercially available disc-shaped weights pierced in the center.
• the weight device of the skate comprises a cylindrical tube fixed vertically and centered behind the footrest, sufficiently distant from the latter to allow the handling of the weights.
• the section and the length of the tube are sufficient to ensure the threading and the maintenance of 'a series of weights.
• the weight skate footrest includes a sole with a fastening strap and a heel to hold the foot in place. It is attached to the width of the carriage at one end in front of the weight device. methods of fixing the footrest on the trolley are possible:
• the footrest may consist of two parts: a sole support that can be tilted on the carriage and a sole that can move in rotation relative to the support for the sole. The external oblique position is necessary so that the joints of the ankle and the knee follow the rotation of the thigh when the exercise is performed with legs apart.
• the weight shoe slides along a slide.
• the device is equipped with a seat, two handles and possibly one or two stops on the slide.
• the slide is positioned strictly horizontal on a support and is long enough for the user seated with the foot held on the weight pad to fully extend the leg, therefore the stroke of the weight pad is steered, which can be more efficient and thanks to the support it is no longer necessary to sit on the ground to practice the exercise.
• the seat is fixed motionless at one end of the device, barely above the slide, slightly above the heel level of the weight skate. It can be adjustable in height. It can have an adjustable backrest or not in height.
• the handles are placed on either side of the seat, they allow to stand and straighten the back. They can be fixed either stationary or mobile, adjustable in height. Movable stops on the slide may be required to limit the stroke of the skate to weight and therefore control the folding and lengthening of the leg.
• Two weight skates slide along two identical slides.
• the slides can be either parallel, their spacing corres ⁇ pond to the position parallel legs, or installed to form an angle whose apex is located towards the seat, and in such a way that they have a fixed or adjustable spacing relative to the 'axis me-. support dian.
• the device can combine both possibilities: the movable slides can be parallel or oblique with respect to the median axis of the support.
• Slide devices can be made foldable or removable.
• weight skates can be an improvement of the rower. he seat and the weight skids are alternately stationary or free.
• FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of weight skate.
• FIG. 2 is a diagrammatic representation of the device with two slides with modular spacing.
• Figure 1 we see the carriage 1 built to adapt to the width of the slides.
• the housings 2 for the rolling or sliding friction mechanism.
• Fixed centered behind the footrest is the cylindrical tube 3. It is fixed in such a way that the installation and removal of the disc-shaped weights 4 are not hampered by the inclination of the footrest.
• the footrest 5 is fixed to the carriage by a hinge 6, a device 7 allows the footrest to be locked at the desired inclination.
• the footrest has a fixing strap 8 and a heel 9 to hold the foot in place.
• FIG. 2 shows two support bars 10 of the same height, on which two slides 11 are arranged.
• the slides form an angle, the apex of which is located towards the seat 12.
• the support bar opposite the seat has a series of holes 13; at each end of the slides there is a device 14 which allows the slides to be blocked at the desired spacing.
• Under the seat is a pivot axis 15 for each slide.
• the figure shows on the slides the weight pads 16, the stops 17, the handles 18 on either side of the seat.
