COBERTOR PARA RESPALDOS, ASIENTOS Y APOYOS DE MAQUINAS DEPORTIVAS COVER FOR SUPPORTS, SEATS AND SUPPORTS OF SPORTS MACHINES
Objeto de la invenciónObject of the invention
El presente cobertor para respaldos, asientos y apoyos de máquinas deportivas, objeto de la presente invención, consiste en un cuerpo esencialmente formado por una tela más o menos espesa con una cara impermeable, preferentemente de plástico, y la otra cara es una capa de celulosa con bolas de gel absorbentes del sudor, portando bandas diagonales de material elástico que se estiran y permiten adaptarse a las diferentes formas y medidas de los apoyos, además, disponen de unos elásticos en las esquinas del cobertor para ajustarse a las esquinas del respaldo donde se apoya el usuario.The present cover for backs, seats and supports of sports machines, object of the present invention, consists of a body essentially formed by a more or less thick fabric with an impermeable face, preferably of plastic, and the other face is a cellulose layer with sweat-absorbing gel balls, carrying diagonal bands of elastic material that stretch and allow to adapt to the different shapes and measures of the supports, in addition, they have elastic ones in the corners of the cover to fit the corners of the backrest where they are Support the user.
Esta invención tiene aplicación tanto en la industria textil como en la relacionada con los aparatos para ejercicio físico y, en definitiva, allí donde se necesite evitar el contacto del sudor con el material deportivo que es común para todos.This invention has application both in the textile industry and in the one related to physical exercise equipment and, in short, where it is necessary to avoid the contact of sweat with the sports material that is common to all.
Antecedentes de la invenciónBackground of the invention
Hasta la fecha, en el sector deportivo y más concretamente en el mundo del fitness, se encuentran miles de salas donde se ubican máquinas de musculación y cardiovasculares, en cuyos centros es obligatorio el utilizar toallas en los asientos de cada uno de los aparatos, con el fin de darle un uso higiénico. En esos momentos los usuarios utilizan todo tipo de toallas y diferentes tamaños encontrándonos con una serie de inconvenientes:To date, in the sports sector and more specifically in the world of fitness, there are thousands of rooms where weight training and cardiovascular machines are located, in whose centers it is mandatory to use towels in the seats of each of the devices, with In order to give it a hygienic use. At that time, users use all kinds of towels and different sizes, encountering a series of inconveniences:
Las toallas no son impermeables, por lo que traspasa el sudor y se queda impregnado en el apoyo. Las toallas no llevan sistemas de sujeción al asiento, por lo que se suelen caer al suelo o se mueven, dando paso así al contacto de los usuarios con los asientos o apoyos.The towels are not waterproof, so it pierces sweat and remains impregnated in the support. The towels do not carry fastening systems to the seat, so they tend to fall to the floor or move, thus giving way to user contact with the seats or supports.
Los gimnasios gastan mucho dinero en máquinas, pero cuando se observa una de estas salas utilizadas por los usuarios, se advierte que todas las máquinas están llenas de toallas de diferentes colores, estampadas, de playa, pequeñas, grandes, etc., en definitiva que todos los esfuerzos en imagen se ven empañados por esta variedad.Gyms spend a lot of money on machines, but when you see one of these rooms used by users, you can see that all machines are full of towels of different colors, prints, beach, small, large, etc., in short that all efforts in image are marred by this variety.
Los clientes quedan obligados a llevar una toalla para la ducha y otra para las máquinas, dos toallas como mínimo que luego tienen que lavar.Clients are obliged to bring a towel for the shower and one for the machines, at least two towels that must be washed.
Por lo tanto, el uso de toallas como elemento de protección del sudor de los asientos y apoyos de máquinas de gimnasios, centros de rehabilitación y similares, no solventa el problema que intenta solucionar, siendo además, un producto antiestético que aporta una mayor necesidad de mantenimiento puesto que, al no cubrir las toallas totalmente la superficie de los respaldos, asientos o apoyos, el tapizado de las máquinas se desgastan con mayor celeridad. Por otro lado, en cuanto se coloca una toalla para su uso, ésta queda empapada de sudor, especialmente en los meses de calor, con lo que se requiere en muchas ocasiones de más de una toalla para este uso.Therefore, the use of towels as an element of protection of the sweat of the seats and supports of gym machines, rehabilitation centers and the like, does not solve the problem that tries to solve, being also an unsightly product that provides a greater need for maintenance since, when the towels are not completely covered by the surface of the backrests, seats or supports, the upholstery of the machines wear out more quickly. On the other hand, as soon as a towel is placed for use, it is soaked with sweat, especially in the hot months, which often requires more than one towel for this use.
Descripción de la invenciónDescription of the invention
Con el cobertor para respaldos, asientos y apoyos de máquinas deportivas, objeto de la presente invención, se pretende evitar o paliar todos estos inconvenientes, para ello, se basa en un cuerpo compuesto por un material absorbente por un lado, a base de capas de celulosa, en cuyo interior se disponen de bolitas de gel que absorben la humedad, así como por la otra cara se coloca una superficie impermeable que impide el paso de la humedad tanto en un sentido como en otro.With the cover for backs, seats and supports of sports machines, object of the present invention, it is intended to avoid or alleviate all these inconveniences, for this, it is based on a body composed of an absorbent material on the one hand, based on layers of Cellulose, inside of which gel pellets are absorbed that absorb moisture, as well as on the other side an impermeable surface is placed that prevents the passage of moisture both in one direction and another.
Al mismo tiempo, este cuerpo alberga una o varias bandas elásticas transversalmente, que permiten a este cobertor adaptarse a diferentes medidas, dependiendo de la dimensiones del apoyo o asiento de la máquina, por lo que un mismo cobertor se puede utilizar para varias máquinas de varios tamaños, con tan sólo estirar estas bandas elásticas hasta alcanzar la medida, dentro de unos límites.At the same time, this body houses one or several elastic bands transversely, which allow this cover to adapt to different measures, depending on the dimensions of the support or seat of the machine, so that the same cover can be used for several machines of several sizes, with just stretching these elastic bands until reaching the measure, within limits.
Con el fin de facilitar el acoplamiento de este cobertor al respaldo o asiento de la máquina, se colocan unas esquinas, también elásticas, para acoplarse a las esquinas de los respaldos ajustándose perfectamente, evitando el movimiento de éste sobre el respaldo o apoyo, así como caídas, desplazamientos, etc.In order to facilitate the coupling of this cover to the backrest or seat of the machine, some corners, also elastic, are placed to fit the corners of the backs, adjusting perfectly, avoiding the movement of the latter on the backrest or support, as well as falls, displacements, etc.
Por lo tanto, con este cobertor se garantiza principalmente la absorción del sudor o humedad que se genere durante la práctica del ejercicio, evitando por un lado el contacto entre el sudor del usuario y el respaldo de la máquina, gracias a que la superficie de contacto entre cobertor y respaldo es impermeable, además de que el cuerpo del cobertor al ser de bolitas de gel, absorben toda esta humedad evitando su traspaso hacia el respaldo.Therefore, this cover mainly guarantees the absorption of sweat or moisture that is generated during the exercise, avoiding on the one hand the contact between the user's sweat and the back of the machine, thanks to the contact surface between cover and back is waterproof, in addition to the body of the cover being gel balls, absorb all this moisture avoiding its transfer to the back.
Por otro lado, mantienen su superficie de contacto con el usuario seca, con lo que no se hace incómoda su utilización como las toallas, ya que una vez éstas están empapadas, mojan tanto al usuario como el respaldo.On the other hand, they keep their contact surface with the user dry, so that their use is not uncomfortable as the towels, since once they are soaked, they wet both the user and the backrest.
Además, este cobertor o cubre máquinas es un accesorio de bajo coste, pero suficiente como para suponer un negocio, proporcionando al mismo tiempo una imagen de uniformidad y limpieza, puesto que se puede colocar tanto publicidad como un logotipo, grabados, etc., que uniformen la imagen del local, protegiendo las máquina eficazmente contra el sudor de los usuarios; y por último, también supone una preocupación menos a los usuarios de estas instalaciones, pues pueden olvidar al menos una toalla y se ahorran el lavado y el transporte de éstas.In addition, this cover or cover machines is an accessory of low cost, but enough to assume a business, while providing an image of uniformity and cleanliness, since you can place both advertising and a logo, prints, etc., which Uniform the image of the premises, protecting the machines effectively against the sweat of the users; and finally, it also means less concern to the users of these facilities, as they can forget at least one towel and save their washing and transport.

Realización preferente de la invención Como se puede apreciar en la figura adjunta, se distingue en primer lugar un cuerpo de cobertor (1), formado por unas zonas compuestas por capas de celulosa (2), unas bandas elásticas inferiores (3) y otras transversales (7), unas bandas ajustables (4) de acople al respaldo (5), incorporando por la parte inferior del cobertor una capa impermeable (6). Así mismo, y con el fin de facilitar mayormente el ajuste y fijación al respaldo (5) se incluyen en el cobertor unas cintas o tiras elásticas (8), que partiendo de una de las tiras inferiores se engancha a uno de los extremos del cobertor, haciéndose pasar por debajo del respaldo para su acople.Preferred Embodiment of the Invention As can be seen in the attached figure, a cover body (1) is distinguished first, formed by areas composed of cellulose layers (2), lower elastic bands (3) and other transverse bands (7), Adjustable bands (4) for attachment to the backrest (5), incorporating a waterproof layer (6) from the bottom of the cover. Likewise, and in order to facilitate the adjustment and fixation to the backrest (5), elastic bands or strips (8) are included in the cover, which, starting from one of the lower strips, is attached to one of the ends of the cover , posing as the backrest for coupling.
Los cuerpos de celulosa (2), están dotados en su interior con bolas de gel que absorben el sudor del usuario, por lo tanto ésta será la zona que se coloque boca arriba, en contacto directo con el usuario o deportista. Estos cuerpos de celulosa funcionan a modo de pañal para bebé, recogen la humedad de la superficie y queda retenida por las bolas de gel en su interior, permaneciendo la superficie de contacto seca, favoreciendo su uso durante más tiempo en mejores condiciones que una toalla de paño.The cellulose bodies (2), are provided inside with gel balls that absorb the user's sweat, therefore this will be the area that is placed face up, in direct contact with the user or athlete. These cellulose bodies work as a baby diaper, collect moisture from the surface and are retained by the gel balls inside, keeping the contact surface dry, favoring its use for longer in better conditions than a towel cloth.
Este cuerpo se impermeabiliza inferiormente por una capa de superficie impermeable (6), como plástico o de cualquier otro material, que impide el contacto directo de la humedad retenida en su interior con el banco o respaldoThis body is inferiorly waterproofed by a waterproof surface layer (6), such as plastic or any other material, which prevents direct contact of the retained moisture inside with the bench or backrest
(5), eliminando el riesgo de que éste se corte y deteriore, ayudando a mantener una buena imagen de las instalaciones.(5), eliminating the risk of it being cut and deteriorating, helping to maintain a good image of the facilities.
Por otro lado, las bandas elásticas (7), se disponen preferentemente de manera transversal al cuerpo del cobertor (1), de forma que permita variar sensiblemente la longitud de éste, en modo tal que sea capaz de adaptarse a bancos o respaldos (5) de diferentes medidas, así como también asientos de máquinas para deportes, favoreciendo la estandarización del producto, economizando costes, a la vez que un mismo cobertor puede ser utilizado para varios respaldos diferentes, con lo que el estocage necesario se reduce al mínimo.On the other hand, the elastic bands (7), are preferably arranged transversely to the body of the cover (1), so as to allow the length of the latter to vary substantially, in such a way that it is capable of adapting to benches or backrests (5 ) of different measures, as well as seats of machines for sports, favoring the standardization of the product, saving costs, at the same time that the same cover can be used for several different backrests, with which the necessary stochage is reduced to a minimum.
Las tiras inferiores (3) también son de material elástico, a modo de goma, de manera que, permita el abrazo del cobertor al respaldo por su parte inferior. Con el fin de que este acoplamiento se realice con mayor eficacia, se dispone de un tramo de tira elástica (8) que partiendo de una de las inferiores (3), se remata sobre uno de los extremos del cobertor (1), afianzando la fijación de éste sobre el extremo correspondiente del banco (5), lo que facilita la colocación. Pudiendo estar unidos estas tiras (3, 8) al cobertor por cualquier método conocido, como puede ser cosido, grapado, clips, etc.The lower strips (3) are also made of elastic material, like rubber, so that it allows the hugging of the cover to the backrest by its lower part. In order to make this coupling more efficient, there is a stretch of elastic strip (8) that, starting from one of the lower ones (3), is finished off on one of the ends of the cover (1), securing the fixing it on the corresponding end of the bank (5), which facilitates placement. These strips (3, 8) can be attached to the cover by any known method, such as sewing, stapling, clips, etc.
A su vez, el cuerpo (1) también incluye unas bandas o fundas ajustables (4), colocadas hacia los extremos del cobertor, ya sean éstos rectangulares o similares, o bien mediante otro método de sujeción cuando éste es de formas más sinuosas como circular, elíptica, etc., como pueden ser cintas o similares, aunque preferentemente se emplearán unas tiras o bandas ajustables al respaldo (5) por su parte inferior, a modo de esquina de sábana, que se ajusta a la respectiva esquina del respaldo (5), de manera que, se pueda colocar y quitar fácilmente, impidiendo que este cobertor se mueva.In turn, the body (1) also includes adjustable bands or covers (4), placed towards the ends of the cover, whether they are rectangular or similar, or by another method of attachment when it is more sinuous and circular , elliptical, etc., such as ribbons or the like, although preferably strips or bands adjustable to the backrest (5) will be used at the bottom, as a sheet corner, which fits the respective corner of the backrest (5 ), so that it can be easily placed and removed, preventing this cover from moving.
Su aplicación es bien sencilla, para ello, se toma el cobertor (1) que mejor se ajuste a las dimensiones del respaldo o asiento (5), se despliega sobre su superficie, con la cara impermeable (6) hacia el asiento o respaldo (5), estirando las esquinas del cobertor hasta que se alcanza las respectivas esquinas del respaldo; en esta posición se hace pasar las tiras elásticas (3) transversales por debajo del cobertor, además de que la tira (8) longitudinal quede abrazando el extremo correspondiente del asiento (5), pudiendo estirar del extremo opuesto del cobertor para ajustarlo, con este fin las bandas elásticas transversales (7) ceden ligeramente, según el sentido de las flechas, hasta que la banda ajustable (4) se puede ajustar sobre las esquinas del respaldo, quedando perfectamente ajustado al banco o respaldo (5).Its application is very simple, for this, the cover (1) that best fits the dimensions of the backrest or seat (5) is taken, is deployed on its surface, with the waterproof face (6) towards the seat or backrest ( 5), stretching the corners of the cover until the respective corners of the backrest are reached; in this position the transverse elastic strips (3) are passed under the cover, in addition to the longitudinal strip (8) being hugging the corresponding end of the seat (5), being able to stretch from the opposite end of the cover to adjust it, with this Finally, the transverse elastic bands (7) yield slightly, according to the direction of the arrows, until the adjustable band (4) can be adjusted on the corners of the backrest, being perfectly adjusted to the bench or backrest (5).
Se pueden emplear estas cintas o tiras elásticas (3, 8), suponiendo un medio más de sujeción del cobertor, práctico, cómodo y económico, de forma tal que funcionan de manera independiente de los ajustables (4).These elastic bands or strips (3, 8) can be used, assuming another means of securing the cover, practical, comfortable and economical, in such a way that they operate independently of the adjustable ones (4).
En esta posición, el usuario puede apoyar la espalda sobre esta cara del cobertor (1) a base de capas de celulosa, de manera que, a medida que se va generando el sudor, éste queda absorbido por las capas de celulosa entre las que se hallan unas bolitas de gel que capturan la humedad permaneciendo seca su superficie.In this position, the user can rest his back on this face of the cover (1) based on cellulose layers, so that, as sweat is generated, it is absorbed by the cellulose layers between which there are some gel pellets that capture moisture while remaining dry.
Cuando se finaliza su uso, tan sólo se ha de liberar los enganches elásticos (4) de las esquinas del banco o respaldo (5), y despasar las cintas o tiras (3 y 8) de la parte inferior del respaldo, con lo que gracias a la tensión que mantienen las bandas transversales (7), vuelve a su posición original, dispuesto para un nuevo uso en el caso de que la humedad absorbida por el cuerpo de celulosa (2) no sea excesiva para su empleo.When its use is finished, only the elastic hooks (4) must be released from the corners of the bench or backrest (5), and the ribbons or strips (3 and 8) must be removed from the lower part of the backrest, so that thanks to the tension that the transverse bands maintain (7), it returns to its original position, ready for a new use in the event that the moisture absorbed by the cellulose body (2) is not excessive for its use.
Dentro del mismo ámbito de aplicación, este cobertor (5) se puede emplear como colchoneta sobre el suelo, tatami, u otra superficie, sobre la que se pueden realizar ejercicios físicos, también de aplicación en gimnasios y similares, en la que con tan sólo extenderla sobre la superficie, el deportista se tumba sobre ella impidiendo el contacto directo sobre el suelo, así como dispone de sus características absorbentes.Within the same scope of application, this cover (5) can be used as a mat on the ground, tatami, or other surface, on which physical exercises can be performed, also for application in gyms and the like, in which with just Spread it on the surface, the athlete lies on it preventing direct contact on the ground, as well as having its absorbent characteristics.
