Definitions

  • the present patent application refers to a multiple position exercising chair that can be used to perform the same exercise in two different positions. More precisely, the invention consists in a chair that allows the athlete to assume a prone position, stretching and blocking his/her legs and laying his/her stomach against a rest pad, and projecting his/her torso forward without using any support.
  • the athlete's torso In the initial position assumed for the correct execution of the exercise, the athlete's torso is bent downwards with a basically right inclination angle with respect to the extension line of the legs; once the athlete has assumed this position, he/she lifts his/her torso, with his/her arms folded, until it is aligned with his/her legs and then resumes the initial rest position, repeating the lifting movement for a certain number of times.
  • this exercise is usually performed from two different positions, which involve a different stress of the muscles used to overcome the resistance load.
  • the athlete In the first position, the athlete is in a prone position and folded at right angle, with erect legs slightly inclined forward and in the second case the athlete is in a prone position and folded at right angle, with horizontally extended legs, so that his/her torso hangs towards the ground with perfectly vertical direction.
  • the athlete At the time being, in order to execute these two different variants of the same exercise, the athlete must use two different chairs that share the presence of a stomach rest pad and restraint means for the legs, but have a different geometric configuration that determines the use of the chair in a selective and exclusive manner.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to realise a new model of multiple position chair, provided with easy-to-build articulation means that allow the chair to assume the two different geometric configurations that characterise today two different models of chair.
  • the chair of the invention comprises a base with a projecting support in central position, which is provided on top with a parallel pair of horizontal pivoting pins used to hinge two arms that rest and oscillate on the same vertical plane, located on opposite sides with respect to the central support.
  • One of the arms is provided with restraint means for legs at ankle height and the other arm supports a rest pad for the athlete's stomach.
  • the two arms are joined together by means of a rod that goes through the support immediately below the pair of pivoting pins.
  • the inclination of one arm can be modified by overturning the other arm, and vice versa, by means of the rod, whose ends are pivoted in two corresponding forks that protrude from the two arms in lower position.
  • the pair of opposite articulated oscillating arms can be held in one of the two positions at the end of travel by means of a stop plug located in lateral position on the support, which co-operates with a paddle that protrudes from the hub of one arm and is provided with two holes where the plug can be inserted selectively, it being evident that the location and distance of the holes are such that the perfect alignment between the stop plug and the hole can only be obtained at the end of travel.
  • FIG. 1 to 5 are views of the chair of the invention seen from different angles.
  • - Fig. 6 is an enlarged view of a detail of Fig. 5.
  • the chair (1) of the invention comprises a base (2) with footplates (2a), with a projecting support (3) in central position, which is provided on top with a parallel pair of horizontal pivoting pins (4 and 5) used to hinge two arms (6 and 7) that rest and oscillate on the same vertical plane, located on opposite sides with respect to the central support (2).
  • the first arm (6) is provided with restraint means for legs at ankle height, consisting in two pairs of lateral rolls (8) with horizontal axis, each pair being formed of two rolls (8) in parallel coaxial position, which project from both sides with respect to the arm (6).
  • the arm (6) has a fork (9) that projects downwards near the pivoting pin (4).
  • the second arm (7) supports a rest pad (10) and has a fork (11) that projects downwards near the pivoting pin (5).
  • the second arm (7) is joined to the first arm (6) by means of a rod (12) that goes through the support (3) immediately below the pair of pivoting pins (4 and 5).
  • the opposite articulated pair of oscillating arms (6 and 7) can be held in one of the two positions at the end of travel by means of a stop plug (13) located in lateral position on the support (3) which co-operates with a paddle (14) that protrudes from the hub (7a) of the second arm (7) and is provided with a pair of holes (14 a and 14b), where the plug (13) can be inserted selectively, it being evident that the location and distance of the holes (14a and 14b) are such that the perfect alignment between the stop plug (13) and the hole (14a or 14b) can only be obtained at the end of travel of the arm (7).
  • the pad (10) can slide with respect to the support arm (7), which ends with an horizontal transversal bar (15) with two ending bushings (16) where two cylindrical guides (17) are applied under the support frame (18) of the pad (10) and slide.
  • the frame (18) is provided with an opposite parallel pair of lateral borders (18a) that project downwards and are provided with a series of regularly spaced holes (19).
  • An opposite aligned pair of restraint devices (20) is fixed under the bar (15), each device (20) comprising a fixing plug (21 ) that slides inside a corresponding housing, which contains a spring that tends to eject the plug (21), having suitable dimensions to engage with one of the holes (19).
  • the frame (18) laterally supports two shaped dumb-bells (22) with two levers (23) below them.
  • the two levers (23) allow for retracting the fixing plugs (21) inside their housing, thus releasing them from the holes (19) and allowing the frame (18) to slide with respect to the arm (7).
  • the adjustment of the pad (10) is very important, since the distance between the pad (10) and the rolls (8) must be suitable for the length of the athlete's legs to ensure the correct execution of the exercise.
  • the stop plug (13) is subjected to the expulsion of a spring that maintains it inside the corresponding hole, until the plug is moved backwards to release it from the paddle (13).
  • a gas equilibrating piston (24) of known type is used.
  • the chamber of the piston ⁇ (24) is pivoted to the base (2) and the stem is pivoted to the arm (7) in the appendix (9a) especially located on the fork (9).

Abstract

L'invention concerne une chaise de musculation à plusieurs positions utilisée pour réaliser les mêmes exercices dans deux positions différentes. Cette chaise comprend une paire articulée de bras qui reposent et oscillent sur le même plan à partir des côtés opposés par rapport à un support central, un bras étant pourvu d'un dispositif de retenue pour les jambes au niveau de la hauteur des chevilles et l'autre bras étant pourvu d'un coussin de repos pour le ventre de l'athlète.
