Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Trainingsgerät zum Bodybuilding, insbesondere zum Trainieren der Oberschenkel- und Wadenmuskeln des menschlichen Körpers, mit einer Vorrichtung, durch die die Oberschenkel und Unterschenkel einer stehenden, kniebeugeausführenden Person belastbar sind.The invention relates to a training device for bodybuilding, in particular for training the thigh and calf muscles of the human body, with a device through which the thighs and lower legs of a standing, squat person can be loaded.

Derartige Trainingsgeräte sind bekannt und in beinahe jedem Fitness-Center oder Bewegungsstudio, aber auch in orthopädischen Praxen zu finden. Die übliche Erscheinungsform eines solchen Gerätes ist die Hantel, die zum Krafttraining dient und u.a. von den Gewichthebern benutzt wird.Such training devices are known and can be found in almost every fitness center or exercise studio, but also in orthopedic practices. The usual form of such a device is the barbell, which is used for strength training and among other things. used by the weight lifters.

Beim Trainieren mit derartigen Hanteln lastet nicht nur das gesamte Körpergewicht sondern auch das Gewicht der Hanteln auf der Wirbelsäule der trainierenden Person, also den 34 Wirbeln und den dazugehörigen empfindlichen Bandscheiben. Diese Belastung kann insbesondere bei untrainierten Personen, die bei der Ausübung dieses Trainings nicht beobachtet und beraten werden, rasch zu Wirbelsäulenschäden führen, die das Gegenteil dessen bewirken, was eigentlich mit einem solchen Training beabsichtigt ist, den Körper also ernsthaft schädigen.When exercising with such dumbbells, not only the entire body weight but also the weight of the dumbbells weighs on the spine of the exercising person, i.e. the 34 vertebrae and the associated sensitive intervertebral discs. This strain can quickly lead to spinal damage, especially for untrained people who are not observed and advised during the exercise, which does the opposite of what is actually intended with such exercise, i.e. seriously harming the body.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht deshalb darin, das Trdiningsgerät der genannten Art so weiterzubilden, daß die Wirbelsäule beim Trainieren nicht belastet, sondern entlastet wird, so daß Muskelverspannungen gelockert, der Kreislauf stabilisiert und das allgemeine Wohlbefinden gesteigert werden und gleichzeitig ein intensives Oberschenkel- und Unterschenkel- bzw. Wadentraining ermöglicht wird.The object of the invention is the Tr d iningsgerät the type mentioned at so that the spine does not charged while exercising, but is relieved so that muscle tension loosened, the circuit stabilizes and the overall well-being is increased and at the same time an intense thigh and lower leg or calf training is made possible.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch einen zwischen den Beinen der stehenden Person'angeordneten Schwinghebel, bestehend aus einem unteren, mit seinem unteren Ende an einem Podest, auf dem die Person steht, angelenkten Schenkel und einem oberen Schenkel, der mit dem oberen Ende des unteren Schenkels gelenkig verbunden ist, im Bereich seines oberen Endes mit einer Einrichtung zur Aufnahme von Gewichten versehen ist und zwischen den beiden genannten Enden ein Befestigungselement mit einem an diesem befestigbaren Gürtel aufweist, den sich die trainierende Person zu ihrer Ankopplung an den Schwinghebel um die Hüfte legt.This object is achieved by a between the legs of the standing person 'arranged rocker arm, consisting of a lower, with its lower end hinged to a pedestal on which the person stands, and an upper leg, which is articulated to the upper end of the lower leg, in the area is provided at its upper end with a device for receiving weights and between the two ends mentioned has a fastening element with a belt which can be fastened to it and which the exercising person puts on his waist for coupling to the rocker arm.

Die Tatsache, daß mit Hilfe des Hüftgürtels die an dem Schwinghebel befindliche Last unterhalb der Wirbeliäule auf den Körper der kniebeugeausführenden, trainierenden Person zur Einwirkung gelangt, bringt die gewünschte Entlastung der Wirbelsäule mit sich. Dies bedeutet, mit Hilfe des erfindungsgemäßen Gerätes arbeiten nur die Muskeln der Ober- und Unterschenkel gegen das an den Schwinghebel angreifende Gewicht, dessen Größe veränderlich ist bzw.eingestellt werden kann.The fact that with the help of the hip belt the load on the rocker arm below the spine affects the body of the squat exercising person brings the desired relief of the spine with it. This means that with the aid of the device according to the invention only the muscles of the upper and lower legs work against the weight acting on the rocker arm, the size of which can be changed or adjusted.

Damit die trainierende Person sich beim Ausführen der Kniebeuge unter Einwirkung des Trainingsgewichtes festhalten kann, hat es sich gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung als zweckmäßig erwiesen, das Gerät so auszubilden, daß vor ihr wenigstens zwei parallele, senkrechte Stangen befestigt sind, die sie ergreifen kann.So that the exercising person can hold on when performing the squat under the influence of the training weight, it has proven to be advantageous according to an advantageous embodiment of the invention to design the device so that at least two parallel, vertical bars are attached in front of it, which it can grip .

Zur Verbesserung der Stabilität und Standfestigkeit des Gerätes lassen sich die beiden Stangen gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung durch eine-dritte senkrechte Stange ergänzen, die mit den erstgenannten durch kopf- und bodenseitige Querstege zur Bildung eines räumlichen, eine dreieckige Grundfläche aufweisenden Gestells fest verbunden ist und die Rastelemente aufweist, in denen von Hand das obere mit beliebigen Gewichten versehene Ende des oberen Schenkels des Schwenkhebels eingehängt werden kann.In order to improve the stability and stability of the device, the two rods can be supplemented by a third vertical rod according to a further embodiment of the invention, which is firmly connected to the former by transverse webs at the top and bottom to form a spatial frame with a triangular base and has the locking elements in which of Hand the upper end of the upper leg of the swivel lever can be attached with any weights.

Zu diesem Zweck und zur Aufnahme der Trainingsgewichte läßt sich nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung das obere Ende des oberen Schenkels des Schwinghebels mit einem an ihm gelenkig befestigten Gestell versehen, in dem sich eine in etwa waagrecht verlaufende Stange befindet, die in die Rastelemente einhängbar ist und auf deren Enden beliebige Gewichte aufsteckbar sind.For this purpose and to accommodate the training weights, according to a further advantageous embodiment, the upper end of the upper leg of the rocker arm is provided with an articulated frame, in which there is an approximately horizontal rod which can be suspended in the locking elements and arbitrary weights can be attached to the ends.

Als besondere konstruktive Ausgestaltung des Schwinghebels selbst läßt sich sein unterer Schenkel aus zwei mit Abstand parallelen Armpaaren herstellen, die an dem unteren Ende mit das Podest bildenden Bodenkörpern verbunden sind, und sein oberer Schenkel kann aus zwei mit Abstand übereinander und parallel zueinander angeordneten Armen bestehen, deren untere Enden zwischen den parallelen Armpaaren des unteren Schenkels angeordnet und mit ihren unteren Enden an dessen oberen Enden angelenkt sind sowie mit ihren oberen Enden mit dem die Stange tragenden Gestell in Gelenkverbindung stehen.As a special structural design of the rocker arm itself, its lower leg can be made from two pairs of parallel arms, which are connected at the lower end to floor bodies forming the pedestal, and its upper leg can consist of two arms spaced one above the other and parallel to each other, the lower ends of which are arranged between the parallel pairs of arms of the lower leg and are articulated with their lower ends at the upper ends thereof and are articulated at their upper ends with the frame carrying the rod.

Die beiden Schenkel des Schwinghebels sind zweckmäßigerweise in bezug aufeinander so verschwenkbar, daß sie Winkel zwischen 0 und etwa 60° einschließen.The two legs of the rocker arm are expediently pivotable with respect to each other so that they enclose angles between 0 and about 60 °.

Damit Personen unterschiedlichster Größe mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Gerät trainieren können, hat es sich als zweckmäßig erwiesen, das Befestigungselement für den Hüftgürtel an dem oberen Schenkel des Schwinghebels so auszubilden, daß es mehrere über die Länge des Schwinghebels verteilt angeordnete ösen aufweist, in die in Anpassung an die Größe der trainierenden Person der Gürtel einhängbar ist.So that people of different sizes can train with the device according to the invention, it has proven to be expedient to design the fastening element for the hip belt on the upper leg of the rocker arm in such a way that it has several eyelets distributed over the length of the rocker arm, into which to adapt the size of the person exercising the belt can be attached.

An dem oberen Schenkel 3 des Schwinghebels befindet sich, wie aus Fig. 2 ersichtlich, ein Befestigungselement 15 in Form wenigstens einer Öse, an der ein Gürtel 33 mit Hilfe einer an ihm befindlichen Kette 35 befestigt werden kann, nachdem ihn sich die trainierende Person um ihre Hüfte gelegt hat. Das danach erfolgende Schließen des Gürtels ist mittels eines bekannten Verschlußelementes an der Kette 35 bzw. an dafür vorgesehenen Ösen oder Schlaufen des Gürtels möglich. Darüberhinaus ist der Gürtel hinsichtlich seiner Länge an den Hüftumfang der trainierenden Person anpaßbar, also verstellbar.Two parallel, vertical bars 22, 24 are fastened to the training device in front of the exercising person 18 on both sides of the platform 4, to which the exercising person can hold on when performing his squat. Between these two rods, as can be seen from FIGS. 1 and 4, there is a third vertical rod 27, which is connected to the former by transverse webs 23, 30; 25,34 to form a spatial frame with a triangular base is firmly connected. This frame gives the device a particularly high level of stability and the person exercising. At the side facing the oscillating lever inside of the third rod 27 at a distance above each other a plurality of detent elements 20 are mounted, in which the St d length ö, which is shown in the drawing without weights, can be suspended by the training person, said oscillating lever having both Legs 2,3 enclose an angle α of 0 to about 60 ° C with each other, then is in the rest position. On the upper leg 3 of the rocker arm, as can be seen from FIG. 2, there is a fastening element 15 in the form of at least one eyelet, to which a belt 33 can be fastened with the aid of a chain 35 attached to it after the exercising person has put it around his waist . The subsequent closing of the belt is possible by means of a known closure element on the chain 35 or on eyelets or loops of the belt provided for this purpose. In addition, the length of the belt is adaptable to the waist circumference of the exercising person, that is, it is adjustable.

Nachdem der um die Hüfte der trainierenden Person gelegte und geschlossene Gürtel 33 auf diese Weise mit dem Schwinghebel verbunden worden ist, wird das Gewicht des Schwinghebels, zu dem auch das Gewicht der auf die Stange 8 aufgeschobenen Scheiben oder sonstigen Körper gehört, über die Hüfte der trainierenden Person und nicht über deren Wirbelsäule 16 übertragen. Führt nun die trainierende Person 18 eine Kniebeuge aus, so müssen ihre Oberschenkel und Unterschenkel gegen das Gewicht des Schwinghebels arbeiten, die Wirbelsäule 16 bleibt also entlastet bzw. braucht nur das Körpergewicht der Person zu tragen. Dadurch werden Wirbelsäulenschäden vermieden bzw. Personen, die bereits solche Schäden besitzen, die Möglichkeit gegeben, ein solches Muskeltraining für die Oberschenkel und Waden durchzuführen, ohne daß Gefahr besteht, daß sich die vorhandenen Schäden verschlimmern.After the belt 33, which is placed around the waist of the exercising person and closed, is connected to the rocker arm in this way, the weight of the rocker arm, which also includes the weight of the disks or other bodies pushed onto the rod 8, is passed over the hip of the exercising person and not transmitted through their spine 16. If the exercising person 18 now squats, their thighs and lower legs must work against the weight of the rocker arm, so the spine 16 remains relieved or only needs to bear the body weight of the person. This prevents damage to the spine and gives people who already have such damage the opportunity to carry out such muscle training for the thighs and calves without there being any risk of the existing damage becoming worse.

Bei der Durchführung des Tainings wird sich die betreffende Person 18 zunächst auf das Podest 4 stellen und dabei den Schwinghebel zwischen sich nehmen. Daraufhin wird sie sich mit dem um ihre Hüfte gelegten Gürtel 33 in das ösenförmige Befestigungselement 15 des Schenkels 3 des Schwinghebels einhängen und dadurch eine Verbindung ihres Körpers mit dem Schwinghebel herstellen. Die Person ergreift dann mit beiden Händen 17 die Stangen 22 und 24. Wenn sie sich dann etwas aufrichtet, hebt sie die mit Gewichten versehene Stange 8 von dem Rastelement 20 ab, auf dem die Stange ruht. Dabei wird sie die Stange an sich heranziehen, wobei das kopfseitige Gestell 29 mit der Stange 8 eine Kreisbahn beschreibt. Gleichzeitig bewegen sich die beiden Schenkel 2 und 3 des Schwinghebels in bezug aufeinander, d.h. der eingeschlossene Winkel α ändert sich. Das Anheben der Stange 8 von dem Rastelement 20 bewirkt, daß das gesamte Gewicht des Schwinghebels über den angehängten Gürtel 33 auf die Hüfte der betreffenden Person einwirkt. Führt nun die Trainingsperson eine Kniebeuge aus, so arbeitet sie mit der Hüfte und allen unterhalb ihrer Hüfte gelegenen Muskeln ihres Körpers gegen das Gewicht des Schwinghebels, der beim Aufwärts- und Abwärtsbewegen der Ober- und Unterschenkel über den Hüftgürtel 33 mitbewegt werden muß.When performing the training, the person 18 in question will first stand on the platform 4 and take the rocker arm between them. Then she will hang with the belt 33 placed around her waist in the eyelet-shaped fastening element 15 of the leg 3 of the rocker arm and thereby establish a connection between her body and the rocker arm. The person then grips the rods 22 and 24 with both hands 17. When they then straighten up a little, they lift the weighted rod 8 from the locking element 20 on which the rod rests. It will pull the rod towards itself, the head-side frame 29 describing a circular path with the rod 8. At the same time, the two legs 2 and 3 of the rocker arm move with respect to one another, ie the included angle α changes. The lifting of the rod 8 from the locking element 20 causes the entire weight of the rocker arm to act on the hip of the person concerned via the attached belt 33. If the training person now squats, he works with the hip and all the muscles of his body located below her hip against the weight of the rocker arm, which has to be moved over the hip belt 33 when the upper and lower legs are moved up and down.

Damit das Trainingsgerät von Personen unterschiedlicher Größe und unterschiedlichen Körperbaus benutzt werden kann, sind mehrere über die Länge des oberen Schenkels 3 verteilt angeordnete ösen als Befestigungselemente für den Gürtel 3 vorgesehen. Je nach Größe der trainierenden Person wird diese dann den Gürtel in die für sie passende öse einhängen.So that the training device can be used by people of different sizes and different body types, several eyelets arranged over the length of the upper leg 3 are provided as fastening elements for the belt 3. Depending on the size of the person training, they will then hang the belt in the eyelet that suits them.

Bei der in den Fig. 6 und 7 dargestellten Ausführungsform des Trainingsgerätes handelt es sich um ein Gerät, das prinzipiell der Ausführungsform der Fig. 1 bis 4 entspricht, wobei jedoch gewisse Abänderungen vorgenommen sind, die die Trainingsmöglichkeiten weiter verbessern sollen und insbesondere eine noch weitergehende Entlastung der Wirbelsäule bei der Durchführung von Kniebeugen unter Belastung der über den Hüftgürtel auf den Körper einwirkenden Gewichte mit sich bringen sollen.The embodiment of the training device shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 is a device which corresponds in principle to the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 4, but certain changes have been made which are intended to further improve the training options and in particular an even more extensive one Relief of the spine when performing squats under the load on the body via the waist belt.

Bei dieser Ausführungsform des Trainingsgerätes liegt der Anlenkungspunkt 36 des unteren Endes 5 des unteren Schenkels 2 des Schwinghebels an einem Schlitten 37, der auf einer mit dem Podest 4 verbundenen Führungsschiene 38, zwischen den Beinen 31, 32 der auf dem Podest 4 stehenden, trainierenden Person 18 (Fig. 2) beim Aufwärts- und Abwärtsbewegen des Schwinghebels hindurch hin- und herbewegt wird. An dem Schlitten 37 ist das eine Ende einer starren, stangenförmigen Koppel 39 angelenkt, deren anderes Ende an einer Stelle 41 zwischen den beiden Enden des oberen Schenkels 3 gelenkig verbunden ist. Der untere Schenkel 2 besteht aus zwei parallelen Armen 9, 10, die an ihrem oberen Ende zwischen sich das untere bzw.'hintere Ende des oberen Schenkels 3 aufnehmen, der hier aus einem einzigen Arm 14 besteht, der auf seiner Oberseite zwischen seinen beiden Enden wenigstens eine Use 15 zur Befestigung des Hüftgürtels für die trainierende Person aufweist. Die übrigen Elemente dieser Ausführungsform des Trainingsgerätes entsprechen weitgehend der Ausführungsform der Fig. 1. Der wesentliche Unterschied zur letztgenannten Ausführungsform besteht somit darin, daß der untere Schenkel 2 mit dem Podest 4 nicht ortsfest verbunden ist, sondern sich- in Bezug auf das Podest verschieben kann, so daß beim Aushängen oder Ausheben der auf der waagrechten Stange 8 sitzenden, nicht dargestellten Gewichte aus ihrer Ruhestellung an der Stange 21 eine Bewegung des Schlittens 34 nach hinten, also von dem Podest 4 weg erfolgt, wodurch zumindest eine Teilentlastung des Hüftgürtels erreicht wird, da sich die auf die Hüfte einwirkende, senkrecht gerichtete Kraftkomponente des Gewichts durch diese Bewegung des Schlittens verkleinert.In this embodiment of the training device, the articulation point 36 of the lower end 5 of the lower leg 2 of the rocking lever lies on a slide 37, which is mounted on a guide rail 38 connected to the platform 4, between the legs 31, 32 of the person standing on the platform 4 18 (Fig. 2) is moved back and forth when moving the rocker arm up and down. One end of a rigid, rod-shaped coupling 39 is articulated on the carriage 37, the other end of which is articulated at a point 41 between the two ends of the upper leg 3. The lower leg 2 consists of two parallel arms 9, 10, which receive at their upper end between them the lower or rear end of the upper leg 3, which here consists of a single arm 14, which is on its top between its two ends has at least one use 15 for attaching the waist belt for the exercising person. The remaining elements of this embodiment of the training device largely correspond to the embodiment of FIG. 1. The main difference from the latter embodiment is that the lower leg 2 is not fixed to the pedestal 4, but can move with respect to the pedestal , so that when unhooking or lifting the seated on the horizontal rod 8 weights, not shown, from their rest position on the rod 21, a movement of the carriage 34 to the rear, that is to say away from the pedestal 4, whereby at least partial relief of the waist belt is achieved since the vertical force component of the weight acting on the hip is reduced by this movement of the slide.
