Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for specifically and easily working the abdominals, in particular the transverse, in a global symmetrical and asymmetrical manner, ensuring safety for the back and providing better oxygenation and a good range of work.
- abdominal thanks to the diaphragmatic breathing favored during the exercises.
- the effects sought by this device are the strengthening of the abdominals and the progressive extension of the muscular effort in order to exceed, thanks to the simplicity and the ease of training, the time necessary for this effort to contribute to the reduction of abdominal fat.
- the device according to the invention overcomes these drawbacks and makes the abdominals work specifically and for a long time in complete safety for the back. It comprises, in fact, a wide band called in the following lumbar band, a strap, two rings and suspenders.
- the lumbar band made of flexible and resistant material, fixed width and variable length depending on the size (small, medium and large), is placed in this device at the lower back, and is attached to a ring at each of - its ends and to the straps through the middle of its upper part.
- Each ring made of rigid material and covering the width of the lumbar band, is divided along the length into three equal parts by two teeth.
- At the upper part of the rings attach adjustable straps to carry the device like a backpack. In the different parts of the ring, constituting three stages, passes a strap of flexible and resistant material, of fixed width and variable length according to the sizes (small, medium and large).
- the user standing or seated, carries the device like a backpack, adjusts the lumbar band at the bottom of the back and introduces, in the rings, the strap which comes to surround the abdomen. Then, he takes the two ends of the strap by his hands and pulls while blowing and trying to tuck in the stomach as much as possible.
- the strap partially supports the work of the abdominals and thus reduces the effort in order to prolong its duration.
- the device by pulling the strap and moving the arms, helps, by associating it with exercise, diaphragmatic breathing which offers greater amplitude for abdominal work and optimal oxygenation. The slackening of the strap must be done with a non-forced inspiration.
- the modification of the strap on the rings allows specific floor work in the whole of the abdominals.
- the user places the strap at the same level in the rings.
- Asymmetrical work can also be done by placing the strap at different levels. In this case, the user must pull the ends of the strap by crossing his hands.
- the lumbar band placed as low as possible in the back, tightens at the same time as the strap and allows correction and lumbar protection during the work of the abdominals. According to particular embodiments:
- the device can be one size but adjustable by adding technical characteristics of adjustment and fixing either to the lumbar band, or to the ring or to both if the technique and the material of manufacture of these elements require it.
- the lumbar band can be of fixed length adjustable to the size of the user.
- the adjustment of the band and its attachment to the rings can be done by adding to the band technical characteristics of attachment and adjustment such as, by way of non-limiting example, hook-and-loop or other fabrics.
- the ring can be attached to an adjustment and fixing mechanism such as, by way of nonlimiting example, a strap adjustment loop or the like.
- the rings can also be provided with holes at the top for fixing the straps. Also, as long as the shape of the rings does not interfere with the functional characteristics of the device, it can vary and be rectangular, trapezoidal, triangular, semicircular or other.
- the strap can be fitted with an adjustment and buckling mechanism by adding, by way of nonlimiting example, a loop and hook-and-loop fabrics.
- Figure 1 shows the inner face of the device according to the invention.
- FIG. 2 represents the external face of a variant of this device.
- Figure 3 shows the symmetrical work in the whole of the abdominals.
- Figure 4 shows asymmetric work.
- Figure 5 shows the bio-mechanical functioning linked to the device.
- Figure 6 shows the elements of the device.
- Figures 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 show, for variants of this device, different embodiments of the lumbar band, the strap and the rings.
- the device comprises, on the one hand, a lumbar band (1) made of flexible, resistant material and non-extensible which is fixed, at each of its ends over the entire width, to a ring (2) and attaches to the straps (4) in the middle of the upper part (41).
- the ring (2) made of rigid material, is divided into three parts by two teeth (21).
- Adjustable straps (4) for carrying the device as a backpack attach their ends (42) to the upper part of the rings.
- the device also comprises a strap (3) made of flexible, resistant and non-extensible material, of fixed width allowing easy passage through the parts of the rings. The strap is used to support the muscular work and to tension the device during the exercises.
- the rings divided into three parts (a), (b) and (c) allow floor work in all of the abdominals.
- Symmetrical work can be done on three stages by inserting the strap at the same level in the two rings ( Figure 3).
- Asymmetrical work can be done on the right side as on the left side by introducing the strap in two different levels (figure 4).
- the teeth (21), not covering the entire width of the ring, allow the strap to slide from one level to the other.
- the device according to the invention has the following biomechanical functions: when the device is worn and the strap set and inserted into ⁇ the -rings, the operation of the device is achieved by pulling with both hands (a ) on the strap (3), blowing (d) and trying to tuck in the belly as much as possible (b).
- the tight strap (g) supports the abdominals which retract (b).
- the movement of the arms (a) and the traction of the strap (g) promote diaphragmatic breathing which offers greater amplitude for abdominal work (b) and optimal oxygenation (d).
- the lumbar band (1) supports the back and corrects its position (e).
- the strap (3) can have technical characteristics of buckling and adjustment such as, by way of nonlimiting examples, a small loop (31) and self-supporting fabrics. hook and loop fasteners (11) and hooks (12).
- the lumbar band (1) may have technical characteristics of fixing and adjustment like self-gripping fabrics (nonlimiting example).
- the looped fabrics (11) attach to the outside of the lumbar band.
- the hook parts (12) are added to the ends of this strip.
- the ring (2) can be joined to an adjustment and fixing mechanism such as a strap adjustment loop (23) (example not limiting).
- the ring (2) can be provided with a hole (22) in its upper part for attaching the ends of the straps (41) and it can have various shapes.
- the example of a circular shape (20) illustrated in FIG. 9 is non-limiting.
- the technical adjustment characteristics can be added both to the lumbar band (1) as in (11) and (12), and to the rings (2) as in (23).
- the dimensions may be as follows: the lumbar band will measure approximately 50 cm x 20 cm x 0.3 cm.
- the strap will have the dimensions 120cm x 4 cm x 0.3 cm approximately.
- the ring of variable thickness and width depending on the material, will measure in this example 25 cm x 7 cm x 1.5 cm approximately.
- the teeth of the rings will measure 3 cm.
- the height of the floors will be approximately 6 cm
- This device according to the invention is intended for anyone wishing to strengthen the abdominals without fatigue and safely for the back. More particularly, it will be suitable for people who start the exercises, who are not used to physical exertion or who have as major obstacles low back pain or obesity.
