Description

exerciser

The invention relates to a training device with a suspension for anchoring to a fixed structure, such as a ceiling or a door, according to the specified in the preamble of claim 1. Art.

From WO 2007/079281 A2 such a training device is known. This training device has a suspension by means of which the training device can be fixed to a fixed structure, such as a ceiling or a door. Fixed, inelastic bands are attached to the suspension, which are connected to handles and / or loops. The handles or slings serve for the admission of the extremities, thereby only the hands or feet. The bands are connected to the suspension so that a rotational movement over a certain angle is possible. The suspension is in any case mounted above the center of gravity and indeed so high that the weight of the

Training person acts on the bands in the starting position. In this respect, the bands, but also the suspension and the means of attack in the form of handles and loops are dimensioned so as to absorb the resulting forces readily.

The suspension consists of at least one anchor part, which is connected to the fixed structure and another anchor part. When attached to a door, the door forms the further anchor part, which cooperates with the corresponding trained anchor part of the suspension. The other anchor part of the suspension and the door together form a door anchor.

It is also known to adjust the length of the bands to adjust the height of the engaging means to the length of the body of the training person.

Such training devices are versatile and essentially serve to strengthen the trunk muscles. The training person lies down with the trunk, the hands and / or the feet in the attacking means and leads in this position under the effect of the weight force on the bands Exercises. The bands thus form a movement limit according to the radius in the

Directions from the suspension to the target. There are rotating movements of the attack means based on beispielsweise the ceiling anchor possible and thus one

two-dimensional movement of the attacking means in a parabolic plane.

In addition to this type of generic training devices and elastic training bands are known. During training, the body's center of gravity of the training person may be above the anchorage. The anchoring can thus be below the center of gravity of the

Be training device. In addition, the elastic training bands have another

Training function: The training person works against the elastic training band. Here, the exercise is repeatedly reduced to start the training exercise again and to build up the elasticity of the elastic training band with physical strength, to keep controlled or lowered controlled. The weight of the training person for making a

Training load forming starting position plays no role in the elastic bands. These are designed only for pure physical strength. In this respect, these elastic training bands have a completely different training function.

However, both the known exercise equipment and the elastic training bands are limited in terms of the effectiveness of training.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to further develop the training device mentioned in the preamble of claim 1 such that the training effectiveness increases as well

Training options are expanded. This object is solved by the characterizing features of claim 1 in conjunction with the preamble features.

The dependent claims form advantageous developments of the invention. The invention is based on the finding that completely new training stimuli result from the use of elastic bands in the generic training device and the training effectiveness is increased in a simple manner. Here, with the weight of the body, an elongation is generated in the elastic bands - starting position. From the starting position, the tension can be changed oscillatingly by the training person, the elastic bands in the Essentially always stay energized. The bias generated by the weight force is a prerequisite for the frequency to be generated during training in the elastic bands. The frequency of the elastic band acts against or with the deflection of the elastic band applied physical strength of the training person. The training exercises are thus started from the bias of the elastic bands produced by the weight of the exerciser.

According to the invention, therefore, the bands are elastic. In a simple way, this not only results in better training effectiveness, but also in a three-dimensional movement of the means of attack during the training exercise. The bands are under an elastic bias. The elastic preload is continuously changed during the training and it now creates an oscillating movement of the bands - resulting in an oscillating external force on the body - during training. As a result, antagonizing muscles are also used to stabilize the body during exercise and make training more effective. The bands are thus primarily not as a movement limitation and definition of the initial state as in the prior art but as an additional burden but also support for the exercises of the training person.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the elasticity of the band leaves an elastic

Extension of the elastic band by at least 10% of the total length, in particular by at least 50% of the total length, preferably by at least 100% of the total length, too. As a result, different amounts of movement during training can be easily admitted and adjusted with regard to the elasticity of the band.

Preferably, the elastic bands are encased by a safety tube, which is not elastic, but has a length which corresponds to the maximum possible elastic strain of the band. This allows the safety hose in a simple way as

Strain limit of the elastic band serve. An overuse of the elastic band is thereby avoided. The safety hose can also be designed as a securing connection between the suspension and engaging means, which maintains the connection even if the elastic band is damaged and is correspondingly dimensioned for this purpose. In particular, to be able to make a height adjustment of the attack means, which is necessary due to the different body sizes of training persons, is the suspension

adjustable in length. About the length adjustment of the suspension, the height of the

Set offensive. Preferably, a length adjustment device is provided for this purpose, which is arranged adjacent to the elastic band in the suspension. This ensures that, for example, in the mounted state on a ceiling, the length adjustment is further accessible, since it is located at the lower end of the suspension.

The suspension may have flat belts, in particular with a width of 0.5 cm to 15 cm.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the suspension has at least one anchor part.

In this case, the anchor part can be designed as a stop for a door - door anchor. The stop is connected to a belt. The belt runs in the assembled state between door and door frame. In this case, the anchor part on one side of the door and the elastic band and the engagement means are arranged on the other side of the door.

In addition, the anchor member may be formed as a carabiner, which engages in an associated associated with a fixed structure anchor part - ceiling anchor. As a result, a simple mounting and dismounting of the training device to a solid support structure, such as a ceiling, guaranteed.

Preferably, the suspension for selectively receiving an anchor part for a door anchor or a ceiling anchor is formed. This expands the mounting options. The

Exercise device can also easily be taken while traveling and training in the

Hotel rooms are made possible by means of door anchors. At home, the ceiling anchor can then be used again.

To allow easy replacement of the elastic band, the elastic band is provided with at least one quick release. The quick release can at the

Suspension associated with the end arranged and be adapted to connect to the suspension and / or the quick release can be arranged at the engagement means associated end and formed for connection to the engagement means. As a result, the elastic bands can be easily replaced, for example, the elasticity with the body weight of To adjust the training person. There may be a set of elastic bands that are designed for different body weights and / or body sizes.

In particular, the quick release engages in a fixed ring, in particular a metal ring, which is connected to the suspension or the engagement means. The ring ensures easy connection with the quick release.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the engagement means is formed by a handle or a loop. Depending on the use of the handle offers, for example, if the hands of the training person attack it, or the snare, for example, when the trunk or a limb portion, for. B. lower / thigh, lower / upper arm, or a foot attacks it.

Preferably, two different engagement means are provided at one end of the elastic band, for example a handle and a sling. In this way, on the attacking means on the one hand or a limb portion, for. B. lower / thigh, lower / upper arm, or attack a foot optionally and perform appropriate training exercises.

Preferably, the width of the loop is a multiple of the flat belts, in particular, the loop has a width of 5 cm to 30 cm. This allows the entire body weight over one or both loops are conveniently transferred to the forearms or lower legs, without causing uncomfortable pressure points or even cuts in the training person.

Further advantages, features and possible applications of the present invention will become apparent from the following description in conjunction with the embodiments illustrated in the drawings.

FIGS. 1 to 5 show an embodiment of a training device 10 according to the invention. The training device 10 consists of a suspension 12, which consist of two längenverstel Ibaren belts 14 and 16. Each length-adjustable belt has a belt clamp 14a or 16a. The belt clamp 14, 16 is fastened to a lower part 14c or 16c of the length-adjustable belt 14, 16 and clamps the further upper part 14b or 16b of the length-adjustable belt 14, 16. At the upper part 14b, 16b of the length-adjustable belt 14 or 16. In each case, a door suspension 18 is attached via a flat belt 20. The upper parts 14b and 16b each have a loop. The loops each carry a carabiner 22. About the carabiner training device 10 can be hinged to a solid structure, such as a blanket over a hook.

The lower part 14c, 16c of the adjustable-length belt 14, 16 is in each case provided with a ring 24 made of metal. The ring 24 is used to connect with associated carabiners 26 of elastic bands 28. Per ring 24 engage at least one, at most 4 elastic bands 28 on their carabiner 26 at. In the figures, two elastic bands 28 are shown. The elastic bands 28 are each constructed identically and not only in the area where they engage the suspension 12, a carabiner 26, but also at its opposite end a carabiner 30. The carabiner 30 engages in each case in a ring 32nd a handle 34 and two rings 36 a support loop 38 a. The handle 34 and the support loop 38 form a means of attacking body parts of a training person, at least for a limb portion, for. B. lower / thigh, lower / upper arm, or a foot.

The handle 34 consists of a grip belt 34a which is passed through a grip roller 34b. The grip belt 34a is sewn together with its ends and the associated ring 32. Of the The grip belt 34a is guided by the support loop 38 so that the training person can rest with the forearm in the support loop 38 and at the same time comfortably grasp the grip roller 34b with the ends. For this purpose, 38 corresponding openings 38a through which the grip belt 34a is guided in the support loop.

The training device 10 thus consists of a suspension 12 with two adjustable straps 14, 16. At each extendable belt 14, 16 two elastic bands 28 are articulated, which are connected to the ring 32 of the handle 34 and the ring 36 of the support loop 38. About the door hanger 18, the training device 10 can be attached to a door, so that the door hanger 18 on one side and the flat straps 20 extend from the door hanger 18 between the door and frame on the other side of the door, on which the further suspension 12th with the elastic bands 28, the handle 34 and the support loop 38 is arranged. Alternatively, the training device 10 can also be hung on the carabiner 22 on a ceiling via a hook.

Both in an arrangement on a door, as in an arrangement on a ceiling, the anchoring of the training device in the form of the carabiner 22 or the door hanger 18 above the body center of gravity of the training person. The training person lies down for training with his forearms in the support loop 38 and grips the handle 34 with his hands. By the weight of the training person, the elastic bands 28 are biased. Strengthening exercises can then be carried out from this preloaded position. Depending on the size of the training person, the length of the adjustable straps 14 and 16 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the angle of the body longitudinal axis to the ground.

The elasticity of the elastic band 28 allows at least one elastic extension by at least 10% of the total length, in particular by at least 50% of the total length, preferably by at least 100% of the total length of the band 28

Movement circumferences during training are easily approved and adjusted with regard to the elasticity of the band. In order to allow a quick replacement of the elastic bands 28, the carabiners 26 and 30 are provided. The carabiner 26 on one side and the carabiner 30 on the other side of the elastic band 28. The elastic bands 28 are surrounded by a security jacket 28a, which is gathered in the untensioned state, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, is gathered. The safety tube 28a is fixedly connected to the carabiner 26 on one side and the carabiner 30 on the other side. The safety hose has several functions. On the one hand, it serves as an expansion limit, in order to prevent overstressing of the elastic band material within the safety tube 28a. On the other hand, it serves to protect the training person, if it should come to a crack of the elastic band material. Injury caused by the voltage generated by the whip is easily avoided. Furthermore, the safety tube also serves as an emergency stop, so that the training person does not fall on a crack in the elastic band material on the ground.

The length-adjustable straps 14 and 16 are formed as flat belts and have a width of 0.5 cm to 15 cm. Preferably, the width of the support loop 38 is a multiple of the flat belts.

In particular, the support loop has a width of 5 cm to 30 cm. As a result, the entire body weight of the training person over one or both loops can be conveniently transferred to the forearms or lower legs, without causing unpleasant pressure points or even

Incisions in the training person comes. As a material for the support loop 28 is neoprene, since this provides a soft support and is also friendly to the skin.

The invention is characterized by the elastic bands 28. In a simple way, this not only results in a better training effectiveness, but also a three-dimensional movement of the support loop 38 and / or the handle 34 during the exercise. The elastic bands 28 are under an elastic bias. The elastic preload is constantly changed during the training. The result is now an oscillating movement of the bands 28, resulting in an oscillating external force on the body during exercise. As a result, antagonizing muscles are also used to stabilize the body during exercise and make training more effective. The elastic bands 28 thus serve primarily not as a movement limitation and definition of the initial state, as is the case in the prior art, but as an additional burden, but also support for the exercises of the training person.

According to another embodiment, not shown here, the flat belt 20 passes through the door hanger 18. On the one hand, the flat belt 20 is connected to the upper part 14b, 16b of the length-adjustable belt 14, 16. On the other side is a strap for the carabiner 22 provided. The flat belt 20 is so firmly connected to the door hanger 18 that no slipping of the flat belt 20 is possible.
