Definitions

  • This invention relates to a scrum machine for individual use by rugby players.
  • Forward dominance is crucial to success in a rugby scrum, and is established by the ability of the forwards to deliver pushing power and to withstand the counter-force generated by the opposing players.
  • a scrum machine is a training machine which, depending on its design, allows an individual rugby forward, or a group of rugby forwards, to develop the necessary pushing power and resistance to counter-pushing while in the body position of the scrum.
  • a scrum machine comprising a framework and, mounted on the framework, a footrest at or near ground level and a pair of laterally spaced rearward facing pads disposed in front of and at a higher level than the footrest for engagement by the opposite shoulders of a forwardly crouching user with the user's head extending between the pads, the machine further comprising a member for resiliently bearing down on the back of the user's head .
  • the resiliently bearing member may comprise a flap pivotable upwardly, about a transverse axis, against the bias of a weight tending to pivot the flap downwardly.
  • the present invention provides a scrum machine comprising a framework and, mounted on the framework, a footrest at or near ground level and a pair of laterally spaced rearward facing pads disposed in front of and at a higher level than the footrest for engagement by the opposite shoulders of a forwardly crouching user with the user's head extending between the pads, the machine further comprising
  • resilient manually operable devices disposed laterally outwardly of the pads on each side of the machine to allow the user to simulate binding with adjacent

  • the binding simulator may comprise a handgrip which can be pulled downwardly against the bias of a weight tending to pull the handgrip upwardly.
  • Figure 1 is a rear perspective view of the embodiment of scrum machine according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 is a front perspective view of the right hand side of the machine.
  • Figure 3 is a front perspective view of the left hand side of the machine.
  • Figure 4 is a plan view of the machine.
  • Figure 5 is a rear view of the machine.
  • Figure 6 is a right hand side view of the machine.
  • a scrum machine comprises a rigid steel framework including a rectangular arch 10 upstanding from and fixedly mounted to a rectangular base 12.
  • the framework also includes a pair of props 14 which extend downwardly and forwardly from the top half of the arch 10 to the front end 12a of the base to brace the arch 10 against force applied forwardly by a user.
  • An upwardly and rearwardly inclined footrest 16 is mounted transversely across the base 12 at or near ground level. To allow for users of different heights, the distance of the footrest 16 in front of the arch 10 can be adjusted by locating the footrest in any selected pair of opposite slots 18 in the base 12.
  • a pair of laterally spaced, rearward-facing vertical pads 20 are mounted on the rear of the arch 10, each about half-way up a respective vertical column 10a. In use, a user crouches almost horizontally forwards in the
  • the flap 22 comprises a padded flap 22 for resiliently bearing down on the back of the user's head.
  • the flap 22 is mounted for rotation about an axle 24 disposed towards the rear of the pad and which extends transversely between the arch columns 10a.
  • the flap 22 can be pivoted upwardly by rotation about the axle 24 by a user raising his head against the bias of adjustable weights 26 tending to rotate the front edge of the flap 22 downwardly.
  • the weights 26 slide on parallel guide rods 28 which extend from the front end 12a of the base 12 to a crossbar 14a, and are connected to a tab 30 on the front edge of the flap 22 by a cord 32 passing freely through the crossbar 14a.
  • the height of the flap 22 relative to the arch 10 can be adjusted by sliding the ends of the axle 24 up or down in respective slotted guides 34 fixed to the insides of the columns 10a, there being means (not shown) to fix the axle at various selected positions along the guides.
  • the scrum machine further includes a pair of static handgrips 36a and 36b fixed to the outsides of the arch columns 10a, and two resilient, manually operable binding simulators 38, 40 disposed laterally outwardly of the shoulder pads 20 on each side of the arch 10 to allow the user to simulate binding with adjacent player (s) .
  • the binding simulator 38 comprises a handgrip 42 which can be pulled downwardly against the bias of adjustable weights 44 tending to pull the handgrip upwards.
  • the weights 44 slide on parallel guide rods 46 and are connected to the handgrip 42 by a cord 48 which passes freely over a pulley 50.
  • the binding simulator 40 comprises a forearm rest 52 which, by rotation about a horizontal axle 54 at least approximately normal to the plane containing the pads 20, can be pivoted downwardly and inwardly towards the arch 10 against the bias of adjustable weights 56 tending to pivot the forearm rest 52 upwardly.
  • the weights 56 slide on parallel guide rods 58 and are connected by a cord 60 to the circumference of a pulley 62.
  • the pulley 62 is mounted on the same axle 54 as the forearm rest 52, and via the cord 60 the weights 56 tend to rotate the pulley in a direction (anticlockwise in Figure 5) which raises the forearm rest 52.
  • the arch 10 could be moveably mounted relative to the base 12 against a bias (not shown) , so that in use, a player located between the pads 20 and the footrest 16 could push the arch relative to the base.
  • a spring (not shown) could be employed to bias the grip 42 and rest 52.
  • the bias could be integrated or located inboard within or around the arch 10.
  • the pads 20 could be mounted to slide up and down relative to the arch 10.
  • the pads 20 could also be shaped to extend rearwardly so that if released once a player is in position with their shoulders under the rearwards extension of the modified pads, one or both of the pads could be allowed to bear down on the player, so more accurately simulating scrum play.
  • the flap 22 would need to be connected at each end of the axle 24 to respective pads 20 to move in tandem with the pads 20.

Abstract

L'invention porte sur une machine de mêlée comprenant un châssis, et monté sur le châssis, un repose-pied à ou près du niveau du sol et une paire d'éléments matelassés tournés vers l'arrière espacés latéralement disposés à l'avant de et à un niveau plus élevé que le repose-pied pour un engagement par les épaules opposées d'un utilisateur s'accroupissant vers l'avant, la tête de l'utilisateur s'étendant entre les éléments matelassés. La machine comprend en outre des dispositifs souples pouvant être actionnés manuellement disposés latéralement vers l'extérieur des éléments matelassés sur chaque côté de la machine pour permettre à l'utilisateur de simuler une liaison avec un ou des joueurs adjacents.
