Description

Traininqsvorrichtunq

The invention relates to a training device for activating the arm forces of a person exercising on the pedal crank of a stationary Trainingstretgerätes, at the pedal units each a training stick, for transmitting the arm forces, movably mounted to train next to the lower body and legs and the upper body intense.

Lower body exercise equipment, so-called home exercise that can only be operated with the legs of the person exercising a pedal crank, are known in many embodiments, but have the disadvantage that with them essentially only the muscles of the legs and the lower body can be trained , as the arms during the training process, similar to cycling, mainly rest. As a result, the upper body remains largely at rest during exercise, so that the muscles located in the area of the upper body and internal organs are trained only with a small effect.

For this reason, there have been many attempts to make lower body exercise equipment, especially those on the type of stationary bikes, so that not only the lower body of the exercising person, but, as in cross-country skiing or as in so-called Nordic walking, too the upper body can be trained.

Thus, for example, in US Pat. No. 2 261 355 an exercise device with a seat device and a pedal crank drive is described in which training sticks are articulated on the pedal units of the pedal crank drive, via which forces can be exerted by the arms of the exercising person during exercise on the pedal crank drive. The disadvantage of this exercise device is that each training stick moves only along one plane and can not be rotated about its longitudinal axis, whereby the freedom of movement for the arms and the training options for the upper body are very limited.

In US-PS 4,741,527 a stationary, bicycle-like training device is proposed in which a training stick is rotatably mounted on each of the two pedal units of the pedal crank drive on the extended pedal support axle. Another joint makes it possible for each training pole to be additionally swiveled in lateral directions. However, the training sticks can not be rotated about their longitudinal axis, so that the exercising person is forced to release his hands from the training sticks when, during exercise, they pivot the arms from a position in front of their body to positions laterally or behind their body would like to. In addition, the release of the training stock of the pedal crank drive is complex. Furthermore, US-PS 5125 648 describes an upper body training system with rotatable around its longitudinal axis training sticks, which are each connected by means of a multi-part Kupplungsmechanismusses with elastic, slotted ring and superimposed, partially slotted sleeves and tubes, with the pedal units of the pedal crank drive Trainingstretgerätes. In this embodiment, it is disadvantageous that for the exercising person on the training sticks on the pedal units exercise of tensile forces that are greater than necessary for coupling and uncoupling of parts of the Kupplungsmechanismusses, is not possible and limited for this reason, the pivoting range of training sticks is. Significant tensile forces can thus be transmitted via the coupling mechanism only if its individual parts are joined together by using correspondingly high forces. But then it is disadvantageous that the release of the training stick from the pedal unit or from the clutch mechanism, for example, at the end of the training or when a trainee wants to use their personal training sticks in a shared by several people Trainingstretgerät, only with effort appropriate high forces possible is. Conversely, however, if the training sticks can be disassembled without significant effort, a transfer of significant tensile forces on the clutch mechanism on the pedal unit not possible. It is also disadvantageous in this embodiment that special designs are required for the pedal units, which, together with the production of the complex parts for the clutch mechanism, is costly.

The object of the present invention is therefore to provide a training device for persons which can be produced as inexpensively as possible and which can be easily installed on a training stretcher, by which the pedal drive of stationary training stretcher devices, in addition to moving through the legs, can also be activated by pressure. and tensile forces from the arms of the exercising person, can be moved over attached to the pedal units of the pedal crank training sticks to train next to the lower body and the upper body of the user, while the trained during training from the hands training sticks moves in the widest possible areas and can be swiveled, without needing to be solved by the hands of the trained training sticks.

This object is achieved by a training device of the type mentioned according to the invention by the features of the characterizing part of claims 1 and 14 and 23. The training sticks of the exercise device according to the invention are preferably in their

Length, about by means of clamping device, adjustable. As a result, they can not only be adapted to the body size of the person exercising, but it can also be the

Training possibilities are increased.

Each of the two training sticks is further at its upper end portion, where it is held by the appropriate hand of the exercising person, advantageously with a

Handle, which is preferably provided with a hand safety, such as loop or strap equipped. The shape and the material of the handles are advantageously chosen so that the hand has a comfortable and secure fit.

Each pedal unit consists essentially of the pedal support axle and the pedal rotatably mounted thereon.

The connection of the training stick with the pedal unit via a joint connection, which is designed as a ball joint bearing or as a universal joint bearing. The articulated joint is, preferably via a joint bearing support axle, either on the pedal or on the pedal support axle

Pedal unit attached.

The attachment of the articulated joint on the pedal has the advantage that the existing design of pedal units can remain essentially unchanged, and need only be adapted insofar as, for example, bores are provided for the attachment of the articulated joint, if these, for example via a holder and the connected to it

Joint bearing support axle, with screws attached to the pedal. The attachment of such

Bracket on the pedal but can be done for example by gluing. Such a holder is advantageously further designed and attached to the pedal, thereby additionally increasing the stability and the load capacity of the pedal.

The attachment of the joint joint on the pedal can be done for example via a stiffening of the pedal to this usually molded rib or by a

Joint bearing support shaft is designed as an integral part of the pedal. The attachment of the

Articulated connection on the pedal is preferably carried out so that no pressure exerted by the arm of the exercising person on the training stick pressure and tensile forces on the pedal

Torques are generated, which are responsible for a harmonious movement during the

Training would be a hindrance. Such torques can be avoided, for example, by, in the embodiment with ball joint bearing, the joint ball rotation axis with the

Pedal axis is arranged in alignment.

If the attachment of the articulated connection to the pedal support axle, then this can

Example by the fact that the pedal support shaft is extended and in the area of

Extension is performed as a joint bearing yield axis, or by a Joint bearing support shaft via a connector, such as threaded connection, is attached to the pedal support shaft.

The ball joint bearing essentially consists of a joint ball or a joint ball head, which are mounted in a joint ball housing or in a so-called ball joint socket, which have a connection piece for the attachment of the training stock.

According to a preferred embodiment, the ball joint bearing is designed with a commercially available, and therefore inexpensive, joint head bearing, which consists essentially of a joint ball, which is rotatably mounted in a ball joint housing, preferably on all sides, which has a connection piece for attachment of the training stock. The joint ball is designed with a central bore, via which it is preferably rotatably mounted on a joint bearing support shaft which is attached to the pedal unit. According to a further preferred embodiment, the ball joint bearing is designed with a, also commercially available, and thus cost, angular ball joint. This consists essentially of a ball joint socket, which has a connection piece for the connection with the training stock, and of a joint ball head, which is attached to the pedal unit, preferably via a joint bearing support shaft. The ball joint socket is rotatably and pivotally mounted on the ball joint head.

In both preferred embodiments, the joint ball housing or the joint ball socket can be pivoted and rotated about the joint ball, or about the joint ball head, with the training stick connected thereto via its connection piece.

The universal joint bearing may, for example, consist of two mutually connected, transversely arranged cylindrical bearings, one of which is rotatably mounted, for example on a joint bearing support shaft which is fixed to the pedal unit, and the other connected to the bearing axis of the second bearing pivotable connection piece, for the connection with the training stick, is executed. However, the universal joint bearing can also be designed in the manner of an angle joint, which consists essentially of two mutually hinged receiving sleeves, the longitudinal axes are in an initial position to each other at an angle of, for example, about 90 °, and from this starting position in both directions to the joint axis of rotation , can be swiveled. One of the two receiving sockets of such an angle joint can be rotatably mounted, for example, on a connected to the pedal unit Gelenklagertragachse and the other sleeve can be used for the connection of the training stock and to be designed accordingly. Such an angle joint also allows pivoting of the training stick connected thereto, in lateral directions as well as in the forward and backward direction, to the area of the angle joint.

The inventively provided between the ball joint bearing or the universal joint bearing and the upper end of the attached training pole pivotal connection allows rotations about the central longitudinal axis of the detected by the hand of the exercising person part of the training stock and is also designed as a pressure and tensile connection to the from be transferred concerned arm of the user on the training stick pressure and tensile forces. Pressure- and tension-resistant connection means that the slewing connection is also secured against kinking, for example under pressure. Such a rotary joint can be carried out for example with a sliding bearing or with a ball bearing. Also, for the secure gripping the training sticks at the upper end portion advantageously provided handle can be used for this purpose, for example, by being rotatably mounted around the shaft of the training stock and secured against this against displacement along the central longitudinal axis. As a rotary connection can also serve a sleeve / bolt connection, for example, by a pin in the radial direction is attached to the guided in the sleeve bolt and the pin can move in a provided over a portion of the circumference of the sleeve slot, whereby on the one hand the rotation and on the other hand, the compressive and tensile strength of the connection is ensured. Also provided in a preferred manner for adjusting the length of the training stock connection or clamping device can be designed as such a rotary joint, or combined with such.

According to a preferred embodiment, the rotary joint is designed as a threaded rotary connection. Such a threaded rotary connection is essentially a thread pairing, which consists of a screw part and a nut part screwed thereto, to each of which one of the parts to be joined is fastened. The thread pairing is screwed together so far that on the one hand a pressure and tensile connection is given and on the other hand, the screw part and the nut part can still be rotated against each other. Also, the advantageously provided for the handle can be connected via a threaded rotary connection with the training stock, for example, by the screw part of the screwed together thread pairing at the lower end of the handle and the female part is attached to the upper end of the training stick. According to a particularly preferred embodiment, the attachment of the training stick is performed on the ball joint bearing or on the universal joint bearing as a threaded rotary joint. For this purpose, the lower end of the training stick and the connecting piece of the ball joint bearing or the universal joint bearing are each designed with a screw or nut part corresponding to the thread pairing.

This particularly preferred embodiment also has the advantage that the training stick can be solved in a simple manner, and without significant effort, from the ball joint bearing or from the universal joint bearing and back to it, for example, if the trainee, for hygienic reasons, for example, his own training sticks would like to use for training with a used by several people and equipped with the training device training training device according to the invention, or the training Stretgerät is temporarily used without training sticks or only with a training stick when about one arm of the user has an injury.

In the embodiment with a threaded rotary connection, during the assembly of each training pole, or / and before the start of the training, the threaded rotary connection is advantageously first completely screwed together, and then released again so far that the user can use the training pole for training at its upper end section, or on the preferably provided there handle, on the one hand with the appropriate hand can comfortably capture and on the other hand, the hand-held training stick during training about its central longitudinal axis, in both directions, each at least 90 °, preferably at least 360 ° rotate can do without having to take your hand off the training pole. The relevant thread lengths of the thread pairing are chosen so that even with a relaxed by at least 360 ° threaded rotary connection still a safe, pressure and tensile strength connection is given.

But the threaded rotary connection can also be used for example only for attaching the training stick to the ball joint bearing or on the universal joint bearing by being screwed tight, in which case turning the training pole about its central longitudinal axis by another rotary connection or by another provided on the training stock Threaded connection is possible.

The release of the training stick without significant effort is also possible because it is deducted, for example, together with the ball joint bearing or with the universal joint support of the joint bearing support shaft, optionally after a respective fuse element has been removed. In the embodiment with the universal joint bearing, it is also possible to perform the lower end portion of the training stock as part of the universal joint, for example as a connector, and this together with the training stock, for example, after removal of the respective bearing pin to release from the universal joint bearing, said Training stick can be solved in this case, together with its associated part of the universal joint bearing of the joint bearing support shaft.

The pedal units are advantageously further equipped with adjustable according to the foot and shoe sizes of the exercising person safety bars that, together with a corresponding material and non-slip structure of the tread, prevent slipping of the feet of the pedal units during training.

By the embodiments of the training device according to the invention, during the training of the hands of the exercising person with the training sticks they grip different movements can be performed, for example, circular, elliptical or rather rectilinear, for these different movements and the simultaneous exercise of printing and Tensile forces on the training sticks, for moving the pedal drive, the exerciser can extend his arms also from the side of the body or even position behind the back, without having to take his hands off the training sticks for taking these different arm positions. It is also possible to swing the arms to a slight extent in the direction of the other training stick, but only to the extent that no collision with the other training stick takes place. There is thus a particularly varied, efficient and intensive, as well as the individual needs of the exercising person adapted training for the whole body and in particular for the different muscle groups of the upper body allows. Overall, the space in which each training pole may be located during exercise is approximately cone-shaped, with the tip of the cone lying in the area of the ball joint bearing attached to the pedal unit, and the footprint is the area that the trainee is at Arm can reach when he holds the training stick at its upper end portion in the hand. The crank movement can be supported in two ways. On the one hand, when pedaling the crank, with the corresponding training stick pressure can be exerted and the downward movement of the crank can be supported, and on the other hand, the other crank, which is in upward movement, can be pulled up with the help of the other training stick. The trainee is free to choose how much pressure he exerts on the crank when moving the crank down over the training pole, and how much traction he exerts on the crank Upward movement of the other crank exerts on this. Furthermore, he can freely choose the size of the forces he exerts on the one hand on the legs and on the other hand on the arms on the pedal crank drive.

The pedal crank drive can also be moved by the user exclusively via his arms.

This makes it possible, a equipped with the training device according to the invention

Training Stretcher also used for muscle strengthening or for movement therapies in persons with, for example, injured, weakened or paralyzed legs.

The training device according to the invention can be used both in stationary, bicycle-like training stretcher with integrated seat device, as well as training Stretgeräten in which the seat device is arranged separately from the training stretcher.

Further advantages in terms of training opportunities arise when the position of the training stretcher associated seat device, according to the size of each exercising person and their training needs is adjustable.

In order to intensify the training with a training stretcher equipped with the training device according to the invention, it is further possible to provide the training sticks additionally with weights that are adjustable over the length of the training sticks and fixed to them, such as by means of a clamping screw or a clamp.

Stationary, bicycle-type training devices with integrated seat device are usually also equipped with a support column with support rods for the arms. When using the training device according to the invention in such training stretcher the user can after the end of his exercise activity, or temporarily, even during exercise, the freely movable training sticks, for example, at the respective outer end of the support bars in an advantageously provided for this tray holder. This tray holder is, for example, a circumferentially adjustable loop or an elastic clamping cap with a storage bracket, in which the training stock may also during a workout in which he is not detected by hand, also slide up and down.

The pedal crank drive of modern training equipment is equipped as standard with an adjustable energy absorbing brake device. Additional advantages for training with a training device according to the invention equipped training Stretcher arise when the pedal crank drive can be moved in both directions, each using the braking device. The resistance of the braking device can at a with Training Tretgerät equipped training device according to the invention can be set much higher than in conventional devices, without the joints of the user would be more heavily loaded, because the pedal drive, in addition to the pressure exerted by the legs on the pedal crank pressure forces, by the compressive and tensile forces of the Poor is moved.

A particular advantage of the training device according to the invention is also that it can be equipped with pedal crank drive new and existing home exercise equipment in a simple and cost-effective manner. For this purpose, the pedal crank of the training training equipment to be equipped only needs to be equipped with new, adapted for the attachment of the ball joint bearing or the universal joint bearing and the associated training sticks pedal units.
