Die oben aufgeführten Trainingsgeräte weisen den Nachteil auf, daß sie relativ sperrig, unhandlich und in der Regel auch schwer sind, so daß diese Geräte nicht mobil eingesetzt werden können.The training devices listed above have the disadvantage that they are relatively bulky, unwieldy and generally also heavy, so that these devices cannot be used in a mobile manner.
Aus dem oben genannten ergibt sich das Problem, zumindest einen Teil der aufgezeigten Probleme zu lösen. Das der Erfindung zugrunde liegende Problem besteht insbesondere darin, ein Trainingsgerät zur Verminderung von Thrombosen in Beinen bereitzustellen, das mobil eingesetzt werden kann, das handlich ist und in der Regel von Reisenden, insbesondere in Flugzeugen, ohne größere Probleme verwendbar ist.From the above, the problem arises of solving at least some of the problems shown. The problem underlying the invention is, in particular, to provide a training device for reducing thrombosis in legs, which can be used in a mobile manner, which is handy and, as a rule, can be used by travelers, in particular on airplanes, without major problems.
Dieses Problem wird erfindungsgemäß durch ein Trainingsgerät nach Anspruch 1 gelöst.This problem is solved according to the invention by a training device according to claim 1.
Das erfindungsgemäße im Einsatz keilförmige Trainingsgerät weist mindestens eine Fußauflage und mindestens ein Kippelement auf, welches direkt am Boden aufliegbar und bei Einsatz des Trainingsgerätes von der Fußauflage beabstandet ist. Dadurch wird eine Kippbewegung des Gerätes am Fußboden um das Kippelement ermöglicht. Erfindungswesentlich ist die Tatsache, daß das Kippelement nach seinem Einsatz zumindest in eine Position nahezu an der Fußauflage anliegend bringbar ist, wobei das Kippelement steg- oder rohrformig ausgebildet ist. Diese Positionierung wird insbesondere dadurch ermöglicht, daß das Trainingsgerät aufblasbar ausgestaltet ist, so daß das Kippelement mit der Fußauflage über eine flexible Außenhülle verbunden ist, oder das Kippelement über mindestens zwei Verbindungselemente beispielsweise in Form von rohrförmigen Stäben an der Fußauflage befestigbar ist.The training device according to the invention, which is wedge-shaped in use, has at least one footrest and at least one tilting element which can be placed directly on the floor and is spaced from the footrest when the training device is used. This enables a tilting movement of the device on the floor around the tilting element. Essential to the invention is the fact that, after its use, the tilting element can be brought into at least one position almost in contact with the footrest, the tilting element being designed in the form of a web or tube. This positioning is made possible in particular by the fact that the training device is designed to be inflatable, so that the tilting element is connected to the footrest via a flexible outer shell, or the tilting element can be fastened to the footrest via at least two connecting elements, for example in the form of tubular rods.
Zunächst ist es vorteilhaft, daß die Fußauflage und oder das Kippelement eine rauhe Oberfläche aufweist, damit ein Abrutschen der Füße/Schuhe an der Fußauflage verhindert bzw. eine bessere Haftung des Trainingsgeräts am Boden erreicht wird. Gemäß einer ersten Ausgestaltung ist das Trainingsgerät aufblasbar ausgestaltet, so daß das Kippelement mit der Fußauflage über eine flexible Außenhülle verbunden ist. Dabei ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das Trainingsgerät eine zumindest nahezu luft- und/oder wasserundurchlässige, faltbare Außenhülle aufweist, da auf diese Weise eine gewichtssparende Ausgestaltung realisierbar ist. Besonders bewährt hat es sich, wenn die Außenhülle aus einem Polyester-Gewebe besteht. Dies gilt auch dahingehend, daß an der Außenhülle ein Ventil angebracht ist, welches es ermöglicht, kontrolliert insbesondere Luft in das Trainingsgerät ein- oder auszublasen.First of all, it is advantageous for the footrest and or the tilting element to have a rough surface, so that the feet / shoes cannot slip off the footrest or the training device can be better adhered to the floor. According to a first embodiment, the training device is designed to be inflatable, so that the tilting element is connected to the footrest via a flexible outer shell. It is advantageous if the training device has an at least almost air- and / or water-impermeable, foldable outer cover, since a weight-saving design can be realized in this way. It has proven particularly useful if the outer shell consists of a polyester fabric. This also applies to the fact that a valve is attached to the outer casing, which makes it possible, in particular, to blow air in or out into the training device in a controlled manner.
Um eine höhere innere Stabilität zu erreichen, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das Trainingsgerät mehrere aufblasbare Kompartimente aufweist.In order to achieve a higher internal stability, it is advantageous if the training device has several inflatable compartments.
Dies kann in vorteilhafter, da einfach zu realisierender Weise dadurch bewerkstelligt werden, daß die aufblasbaren Kompartimente mit Hilfe der Außenhülle über Abspanngräben gebildet werden.This can be accomplished in an advantageous manner, since it is easy to implement, in that the inflatable compartments are formed with the help of the outer shell over guy trenches.
Hierbei ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Kompartimente untereinander gasdurchlässig, insbesondere mittels kleiner beispielsweise runder Öffnungen, verbunden sind, um beim Aufblasen einen gleichmäßigen Aufbau und Stabilisierung der Struktur des Trainingsgerätes zu gewährleisten.It is advantageous here if the compartments are connected to one another in a gas-permeable manner, in particular by means of small, for example, round openings, in order to ensure a uniform structure and stabilization of the structure of the training device when inflated.
Um eine innere Stabilität zu erreichen, ist es weiterhin von Vorteil, daß das Trainingsgerät einen inneren komprimierbaren Kern, insbesondere aus einem Schaumstoff, aufweist. Dabei ist es besonders von Vorteil, wenn der Schaumstoff offenporig ist, da somit ein Selbstaufblasen ermöglicht wird. Ein mit einem solchen Schaumstoff ausgestattetes, zusammengedrücktes Trainingsgerät richtet sich nach Öffnen eines Ventils durch die einströmende Luft mit Hilfe des offenporigen Schaumstoffs von selbst auf, wird quasi automatisch selbst aufgeblasen. Nach Gebrauch wird das Ventil nach entsprechender Umstellung oder ein zweites Ventil geöffnet und anschließend das insbesondere keilförmige Trainingsgerät zusammengedrückt, so daß das Kippelement zumindest in eine Position nahezu an der Fußauflage anliegend bringbar ist. Anschließend wird das Ventil gesperrt und das Trainingsgerät vorteilhafterweise in eine Schutzhülle gelegt.In order to achieve an internal stability, it is also advantageous that the training device has an inner compressible core, in particular made of a foam. It is particularly advantageous if the foam has open pores, since this enables self-inflation. A compressed training device equipped with such a foam straightens up automatically after opening a valve through the inflowing air with the aid of the open-cell foam, and is quasi automatically inflated. After use, the valve is opened after a corresponding changeover or a second valve and then the, in particular, wedge-shaped training device is compressed, so that the tilting element is at least in one position can be brought close to the footrest. The valve is then blocked and the training device is advantageously placed in a protective cover.
Insbesondere die letzte Ausgestaltung ist für Reisende, insbesondere Flugreisende, von ausgesprochen hohem praktischen Nutzen, da dieses Trainingsgerät bei ausgesprochen kompakten Abmessungen von jeweils wenigen Zentimetern (in jeder Dimension) lediglich ein Gewicht beispielsweise von ca. 200 g aufweisen kann.In particular, the last embodiment is of extremely high practical use for travelers, in particular air travelers, since this training device can have a weight of only about 200 g, for example, with extremely compact dimensions of a few centimeters (in each dimension).
Fußauflage und Kippelement, insbesondere als stegförmige Naht, können aus dem Material der Außenhülle, insbesondere aus einem Polyester-Gewebe, bestehen. Dieses Material ist wasser- und bei entsprechender Imprägnierung auch schmutzabweisend, was den praktischen und ästhetischen Nutzen nochmals erhöht.Footrest and tilting element, in particular as a web-shaped seam, can consist of the material of the outer cover, in particular of a polyester fabric. This material is water and, with appropriate impregnation, also dirt-repellent, which further increases the practical and aesthetic benefits.
Erfindungswesentlich ist die Tatsache, daß das Kippelement, insbesondere in Steg- oder rohrf rmiger Ausgestaltung, zumindest in eine Position nahezu an der Fußauflage anliegend bringbar ist.Essential to the invention is the fact that the tilting element, in particular in the form of a web or tube, can be brought into at least one position almost in contact with the footrest.
Bei der zweiten Ausgestaltung ist es möglich, das Kippelement, insbesondere in steg- oder rohrförmiger Ausgestaltung, zumindest in eine Position nahezu an der Fußauflage anliegend zu bringen, da das Kippelement über mindestens zwei Verbindungselemente an der Fußauflage entsprechend befestigbar ist.In the second embodiment, it is possible to bring the tilting element, in particular in the form of a web or tube, into at least one position almost in contact with the footrest, since the tilting element can be fastened accordingly to the footrest via at least two connecting elements.
In der Praxis hat es sich besonders bewährt, daß zumindest ein Verbindungselement (3) von der Fußauflage (1) und/oder vom Kippelement (2) lösbar ist.In practice, it has proven particularly useful that at least one connecting element (3) can be detached from the footrest (1) and / or from the tilting element (2).
Dies gilt auch dahingehend, daß zumindest ein Verbindungselement (3) an der Fußauflage (1) und/oder am Kippelement (2) angelenkt ist.This also applies in that at least one connecting element (3) is articulated on the footrest (1) and / or on the tilting element (2).
Mit diesen beiden vorteilhaften Ausgestaltungen sind viele Varianten aus angelenkten und lösbaren Verbindungen denkbar, die dem jeweiligen Anwendungsfall angepaßt verwendet werden können. Handelt es sich bei dem Verbindungselement um einen rohrförmigen Stab, so kann auf diese Weise eine stabile und leichte Fixierung des vorzugsweise rohrförmigen Kippelementes mit der Fußauflage realisiert werden.With these two advantageous configurations, many variants of articulated and detachable connections are conceivable, which can be used in a manner adapted to the respective application. If the connecting element is a tubular rod, a stable and easy fixation of the preferably tubular tilting element with the footrest can be achieved in this way.
Fußauflage, Kippelement und Verbindungselement können metallischer Natur (beispielsweise Aluminium) sein und mit einem rutschvermindernden Gummi- oder Kunstlederüberzug versehen sein.Footrest, tilting element and connecting element can be of a metallic nature (for example aluminum) and can be provided with a non-slip rubber or synthetic leather cover.
Eine weitere wichtige Variante der beiden Ausgestaltungen des erfindungsgemäßen Trainingsgerätes weist zwei um eine gemeinsame Achse unabhängig voneinander kippbare Fußauflagen auf, wobei vorteilhafterweise - da in der Praxis bewährt - die zwei Fußauflagen (1) über ein Rohr am Kippelement (2) oder an der Fußauflage (1) miteinander verbunden sind. Auf diese Weise ist ein simultanes Training von zwei Füßen und Beinen möglich.Another important variant of the two embodiments of the training device according to the invention has two footrests which can be tilted independently of one another about a common axis, the two footrests (1) advantageously being - as proven in practice - via a tube on the tilting element (2) or on the footrest ( 1) are connected. In this way, simultaneous training of two feet and legs is possible.
Das erfindungsgemäße Trainingsgerät hat sich in der Praxis nicht nur für die Thrombosen- Prophylaxe in Beinen sondern darüberhinaus hervorragend als Nacken- und Lordosenstütze bewährt.The training device according to the invention has proven itself in practice not only for thrombosis prophylaxis in legs but also outstandingly as a neck and lumbar support.
Bei der Thrombosen-Prophylaxe in Beinen wird das keilförmige Trainingsgerät mit einer Keilseite auf den Boden gelegt, die Füße auf die Fußauflage gestellt und anschließend das Trainingsgerät am Boden um das Kippelement herum, vorteilhafterweise von einer Berührung der einen Keilseite mit dem Boden bis zur Berührung der anderen Keilseite mit dem Boden, hin und her gekippt. Durch diese Dorsal- und Plantarflexion des Sprunggelenkes werden Ferse und Zehenspitzen so weit nach unten gedrückt, daß die Wadenmuskulatur eine unterstützende Kontraktion der Venen bewirkt und damit die Gefahr von Thrombosen stark herabsetzt.In thrombosis prophylaxis in legs, the wedge-shaped training device is placed on the floor with one wedge side, the feet are placed on the footrest and then the training device on the floor around the tilting element, advantageously from one side of the wedge touching the floor to touching the other wedge side with the bottom, tilted back and forth. Due to this dorsal and plantar flexion of the ankle, heel and toe tips are pressed down so far that the calf muscles cause a supportive contraction of the veins and thus greatly reduce the risk of thrombosis.
Die Verwendung des Trainingsgerätes als Nackenstütze erweist sich beim liegenden Lesen in Betten oder auf Liegen als ausgesprochen hilfreich. Dies gilt in entsprechendem Maße auch für die Unterstützung des Lordosenbereiches der Wirbelsäule beim Sitzen insbesondere während des Autofahrens. Die nachfolgenden Beispiele dienen zur näheren Erläuterung der Erfindung.The use of the training device as a neck support proves to be extremely helpful when reading in bed or lying on the bed. The same applies to the support of the lumbar region of the spine when sitting, especially while driving. The following examples serve to explain the invention in more detail.
