Description

Upper limb belt simulator

The utility model relates to sports equipment and is designed to strengthen and develop the strength of the muscles of the upper limb (shoulder girdle) of athletes.

Widely known simulators for performing push-ups from the floor, which contain a housing, the upper part of which is removable and has a handle for the athlete to grab. The upper part of the body is movable and is connected to the base of the body with the possibility of rotation relative to the base. The rotation of the upper part of the housing is provided by the installation of a bearing support between the upper part of the housing and the base (US Pat. Ns2006040809, 2008200318).

However, a disadvantage of the known constructions of simulators is a sufficiently low physical load on the muscles when performing exercises on the simulator, which does not allow you to effectively strengthen the muscles during training.

Also, when using the said simulators, it is not possible to adjust the level of physical load on the muscles when performing exercises on the simulator.

In addition, none of the known designs of simulators does not imply a mechanism for limiting the rotation of the simulator body relative to the base of the body, which does not allow us to consider these simulators safe. This is due to the fact that in the process of performing exercises involving push-ups from the floor while turning the handles, it is possible to get muscle injuries by an athlete (especially a novice athlete) due to an uncontrolled sudden sharp turn of the handle to a larger angle.

The technical problem to be solved by the claimed utility model is to develop a simulator design that allows for effective strengthening of the athlete’s muscles due to the effect of higher physical exertion on the muscles.

The technical result of the utility model is to increase the efficiency of muscle training due to the general design of the simulator and maintainability. The specified technical result is achieved due to the fact that the simulator of the upper limb belt is an emphasis for push-ups and includes a housing consisting of a base and a cover, a handle, a shock absorber, a platform located inside the housing on the base with the possibility of rotation relative to it and connected to the handle, while the depreciation device is connected with the platform and the base.

The platform can be made of polymers, including those having antifriction properties, for example, fluoroplastic.

The rotation of the platform relative to the base can be achieved by installing the platform on a needle fixed to the base of the simulator. In this case, the platform in the lower base has a blind hole and is made of a material with high antifriction properties.

The implementation of the platform from materials with high antifriction properties provides free rotation of the platform on the needle, made, for example, of steel STZ.

In addition, the rotation of the platform relative to the base can also be achieved by a bearing assembly mounted on the base.

In addition, the cushioning device is at least one spring (for example, metal or plastic) or a rubber band.

The depreciation device from opposite sides can have fasteners, for example, hooks for fastening on their corresponding fasteners, for example, loops made on the sides of the platform and the inner side of the base. Also, the depreciation device, on the one hand, can have a hook for fastening on a return loop made on the inner side of the base, and on the other hand, a ball clamp for connecting to the platform by aligning with the response grooves made on the sides of the platform.

The design of the simulator with a depreciation device can significantly increase the physical load on the muscles when performing exercises due to the resistance of the depreciation device to tensile when the athlete rotates the handle of the simulator.

The simulator is made with the possibility of simultaneous installation of several springs or rubber bands. In this case, the platform may contain on its sides additional fasteners (hooks) or grooves for attaching springs or rubber bands. In addition, the depreciation device can be made removable, which allows you to adjust the physical load on the muscles during exercise, increasing the load when adding springs or rubber bands, or decreasing when reducing the number of springs or rubber bands.

In addition, adjusting the level of muscle load when performing exercises on the simulator can be carried out not only by increasing or decreasing the number of springs or bundles (depreciation device) in the simulator design, but also by using springs or bundles made of materials of different elasticities. The athlete can independently adjust the load on the muscles during training and gradually increase it when the need for higher loads.

Thus, the ability to adjust physical activity when using the simulator is an additional advantage of its use in training, which also leads to the expansion of the simulator's functional capabilities by implementing a system in the simulator design that allows you to adjust the level of physical activity on the muscles, thereby using the same simulator for the development of muscle strength with a gradual increase in load.

The device can be made with the possibility of limiting the rotation of the platform by an angle of 90 degrees, which is extremely important for a novice athlete in order to avoid injury from uncontrolled rotation of the platform. For this, the corresponding restrictive elements are made on the basis of the hull and platform. As the restrictive elements, a bolt and a self-tapping screw can be used, while the bolt is screwed perpendicularly to the base, and the self-tapping screw is installed on the platform wall horizontally to the base, while the restrictive elements are screwed into the base and platform not to the full length, so that when the platform is rotated by the angle of 90 degrees, the self-tapping limiter rested against the bolt limiter, thereby preventing the platform from turning 90 degrees. Accordingly, the restrictive elements are located at a distance from each other so that the rotation of the platform occurred when the platform was rotated through an angle of up to 90 degrees. Thus, the design of the simulator with restrictive elements can improve the safety of the athlete during the operation of the simulator, which is an additional advantage of the utility model.

A hole is made in the lid for its free removal, taking into account the presence of a handle in the 5th center of the device. The implementation of a removable cover with a hole in the center allows to simplify its removal if it is necessary to repair the simulator or add / remove a depreciation device without resorting to removing the platform.

In addition, on the outer lower side of the base material is fixed that counteracts sliding when the simulator is placed on the floor to ensure the simulator is stationary during the exercises.

The invention is illustrated by figures 1-8.

Example 1

The design of the upper limb belt simulator includes a housing consisting of a base and a cover, a platform made in the form of a cylinder with a handle fixed to its upper base. The platform is made of fluoroplastic and is connected to the handle by a fastener (screws or bolts). The platform is located in the center of the base of the simulator. A hole is made in the center of the lid, the diameter of which ensures the unhindered passage of a handle through it fixed on the platform when removing the lid from the base or closing the base with a lid. The platform is made with the possibility of free rotation relative to the base; for this, in the lower base of the platform, a blind hole is made in the center to place the needle in it. The needle is made in the center of the disk, and in the center of the needle a blind threaded hole is made for screwing a fastener (screw or bolt) into it. The needle is made of STZ steel, centered on the base of the simulator and fixed on it with a fastener (screw or bolt). When placing the needle in the blind hole of the platform, between the walls of the blind hole of the platform and the needle there is a gap to ensure free rotation of the platform. In the design of the simulator, a depreciation device in the form of a metal spring with connecting elements at the ends (for example, hooks) is installed. On the side wall of the platform, a mating connector is made for the hook of the damping device (for example, a loop). In addition, on the inside of the base also a mating connector is made for the hook of the depreciation device (for example, a loop). The shock absorption device is installed in the simulator case by connecting a hook on one side of the shock absorption device with a loop on the platform and a hook on the second side of the shock absorption device with a loop on the inner wall of the base. The platform has the first element of the platform rotation restriction, made in the form of a self-tapping limiter. The screw is screwed into the side wall of the platform horizontally to the base. On the basis of the set second element of the rotation limit of the platform, which is a limiter bolt. Screw the bolt vertically into the base. At the same time, the platform rotation restriction elements are screwed, respectively, into the platform and the base not to the full length, so that when the platform rotates 90 degrees, one of the rotation restriction elements abuts the second one, thereby preventing the platform from rotating more than 90 degrees .

On the outside of the base there are supports made of anti-slip material, which ensures the simulator's immobility when it is located on a slippery floor when performing exercises.

Example 2

The design of the upper limb belt simulator includes a housing consisting of a base 1 and a cover 2, a platform 3 made in the form of a cylinder with a handle 4 fixed on its upper base. The platform is made of fluoroplastic and connected to the handle with a fastener (screws or bolts) 5. Platform located in the center of the base of the simulator. A hole 6 is made in the center of the lid, the diameter of which ensures the unhindered passage of a handle through it fixed on the platform when removing the lid from the base or closing the base with a lid. The platform is made to rotate freely relative to the base, for this purpose a blind hole 20 is made in the center bottom of the platform to accommodate the needle 7. The needle is made in the center of the disk 8, and a blind threaded hole 18 is made in the center of the needle for screwing the connecting element into it (screw or bolt) 9. The needle 7 is made of steel STZ, centered on the base of the simulator and fixed on it with a connecting element (screw or bolt) 9. When placing the needle 7 in the blind hole 20 of the platform 3, between the walls of the blind a platform hole 20 and the needle 7 has a clearance to allow free rotation of the platform. For the ability to regulate the load when performing exercises the simulator design uses a depreciation device 10 in the form of metal springs with connecting elements at the ends (for example, hooks) 11. On the side walls of the platform, mating connectors 12 for hooks of the depreciation device (for example, a loop) are made. In addition, mating connectors 13 for hooks of a shock absorber device (for example, a loop) are also provided on the inside of the base. The shock absorption device is installed in the simulator case by connecting a hook on one side of the shock absorption device with a loop on the platform and a hook on the second side of the shock absorption device with a loop on the inner wall of the base. It is possible to install several springs. At the same time, the addition of springs increases the resistance to rotation of the platform when the athlete turns the handle. The platform has a first element for restricting the rotation of the platform, made in the form of a self-tapping limiter 16. The self-tapping screw 16 is screwed horizontally to the side wall of the platform. On the basis of 1, a second platform rotation restriction element is installed, which is a stop bolt 15. The bolt 15 is screwed vertically into the base. At the same time, the platform rotation restriction elements are screwed, respectively, into the platform and the base not to the full length, so that when the platform rotates 90 degrees, one of the rotation restriction elements abuts the second one, thereby preventing the platform from turning the angle more than 90 degrees .

On the outside of the base there are supports 14 made of anti-slip material, which ensures the simulator's immobility when it is located on a slippery floor when performing exercises.

Example 3

The design of the upper limb belt simulator includes a housing consisting of a base 1 and a cover 2, a platform 3 made in the form of a cylinder with a handle 4 fixed on its upper base. The platform is made of fluoroplastic and connected to the handle with a fastener (screws or bolts) 5. Platform 3 is located in the center of the base 1 of the simulator. In the center of the lid 2, a hole 6 is made, the diameter of which allows the handle 4 to pass through it fixed on the platform 3 when removing the lid from the base 1 or closing the base 1 with the lid 2. The platform 3 is made to rotate freely relative to the base 1, for this platform 3 located on the ball bearing 17, mounted on the base of the connecting element (for example, a bolt with a nut) 9. To control the load when performing exercises in the design of the simulator, a depreciation device 10 is used, made in the form of elastic rubber bands with connecting elements 11 at the ends (for example, hooks). On the side walls of the platform, mating connectors 12 are made for the hooks of the damping device (for example, loops). In addition, on the inner side of the base 1, mating connectors 13 for hooks of a damping device (for example, a loop) are also made. Each of the elastic rubber bands 10 is installed in the simulator case by connecting a hook on one side of the elastic rubber band with a loop on the platform and a hook on the second side of the elastic rubber band with a loop on the inner wall of the base. It is possible to install several elastic rubber bands. At the same time, the addition of elastic rubber bands increases the resistance to rotation of the platform when the athlete turns the handle.

On the outer side of the base there are supports 14 made of anti-slip material, which ensures the simulator's immobility when it is placed on a slippery floor and exercises are performed.

Example 4

The design of the upper limb belt simulator includes a housing consisting of a base 1 and a cover 2, a platform 3 made in the form of a cylinder with a handle 4 fixed on its upper base. The platform 3 is made of fluoroplastic and is connected to the handle 4 by a fastener (screws or bolts) 5 Platform 3 is located in the center of the base 1 of the simulator. In the center of the lid 2, a hole 6 is made, the diameter of which allows the handle 4 to pass through it, fixed on the platform 3 when removing the lid 2 from the base 1 or closing the base 1 with the lid 2. The platform 3 is made to rotate freely relative to the base 1, for this the bottom base of the platform 3 has a blind hole 20 in the center for placing the needle 7. The needle is made in the center of the disk 18, and a blind threaded hole 18 is made in the center of the needle for screwing the connecting element into it (wines or a bolt) 9. The needle 7 is made of fluoroplastic, centered on the base of the 1 simulator and fixed on it with a connecting element (screw or bolt) 9. At the same time, between the walls of the blind hole 20 and the needle 7, when combined, there is a gap to ensure free rotation platforms 3. For the possibility of regulating the load when performing exercises in the design of the simulator, a depreciation device 10 is used in the form of elastic rubber bands (Fig. 8) with connecting elements at the ends, for example, a hook 11 on one side and a ball retainer 21 on the second side. On the side walls of the platform, grooves 19 mating to the ball clamps of the elastic rubber bands are made. In addition, mating connectors 13 for elastic rubber bands hooks (for example, loops) are also made on the inside of the base 1. Each of the elastic rubber harnesses is installed in the simulator case by placing a ball clamp 21 made on one side of the elastic rubber harness in the groove 19 on the platform 3 and the hook 11 on the second side of the elastic rubber harness with a loop 13 on the inner wall of the base 1. It is possible to install several elastic rubber harnesses. At the same time, the addition of elastic rubber bands increases the resistance to rotation of the platform when the athlete turns the handle.

On the outside of the base there are supports 14 made of anti-slip material, which provides immobility to the simulator when it is located on a slippery floor when performing exercises.

The given examples are special cases and do not exhaust all possible implementations of the utility model.

The device operates as follows.

Before operating the simulator, an athlete can adjust the level of muscle load during exercise, as well as set restrictive elements to control the angle of rotation of the simulator handle, which will ensure safety during exercise. Pre-configuration of the simulator is as follows. Remove the cover from the base of the simulator, connect the first hook of the spring (depreciation device) with a loop located on the side of the platform and the second with a loop located on the inside of the base, and the depreciation device is tensioned. If it is necessary to increase the load level, additional springs are installed in the same way. To limit the rotation of the handles, a self-tapping stop is screwed into the platform parallel to the base, not to the full length, but 2 stop bolts are inserted into the base. The stop bolts are screwed perpendicularly to the base also not to the full length so that the self-tapping stop rests against the stop bolts when the platform is rotated through an angle of 90 degrees. After that, a cover is put on the base. The simulator is installed on the floor. Having adopted the “lying position” position, the athlete takes the simulator handle with one hand. In addition, it is possible to install a pair of simulators on the floor at a distance of the athlete’s shoulder width. Having taken the position of “lying down”, the athlete takes on the handle of the simulator. When performing push-ups from the floor, the athlete turns the simulator handle clockwise or counterclockwise. The rotation of the handle relative to the base of the simulator is provided by connecting the handle with a movable platform, which has the ability to rotate relative to the base.
