Die Bewegungsgeräte können aber auch für Reha-Maßnahmen, für Personen mit eingeschränkter Beweglichkeit und sogar für junge Personen eingesetzt werden. Im Grunde kann mit den Bewegungsgeräten jede Personengruppe Übungen durchführen.The movement devices are intended especially for outdoor use and are characterized by longevity, robustness and by a senior-friendly design. The exercise devices can be used in public facilities, outdoor areas of clinics and care facilities, but also in hotels and leisure facilities. Seniors can perform simple exercises on these exercise machines to train their ability to move and coordinate movement. The exercise devices can also be used for rehabilitation, for people with reduced mobility and even for young people. Basically, any group of people can do exercises with the exercise machines.

Fig. 1 zeigt ein Bewegungsgerät, das zwei parallel zueinander liegende, im Boden zu verankernde Ständer 1, 2 aufweist, die am oberen Ende durch einen Bügel 3 miteinander verbunden sind. An ihm kann sich die Übungsperson während der Übung festhalten. Fig. 1 shows a moving device, which has two mutually parallel, to be anchored in the ground stand 1, 2, which are connected to each other at the upper end by a bracket 3. The practice person can hold on to him during the exercise.

An den einander zugewandten Innenseiten ist nahe dem oberen Ende der Ständer 1, 2 schwenkbar jeweils ein Träger 4, 5 gelagert, der am unteren Ende mit einer Trittfläche 6, 7 versehen ist. Die auf den Trittflächen 6, 7 stehende Übungsperson kann hin- und hergehende Beinbewegungen ausführen, wobei sie sich mit ihren Händen am Bügel 3 festhält.On the mutually facing inner sides, a support 4, 5 is pivotally mounted near the upper end of the uprights 1, 2, which is provided at the lower end with a tread surface 6, 7. The standing on the treads 6, 7 exercise person can perform reciprocating leg movements, with her hands on the bracket 3 holds.

Die Ständer 1, 2 sind an ihrer Vorderseite nahe dem oberen Ende mit jeweils einem Haltebügel 8, 9 versehen, der vorteilhaft eine Hilfe beim Auf- und Absteigen ist.The stands 1, 2 are provided at their front near the upper end, each with a headband 8, 9, which is advantageous to help you get on and off.

Am oberen Ende der Träger 4, 5 ist jeweils eine Achse 10, 11 befestigt, die in Lagergehäuse 12, 13 ragen. Die Lagergehäuse 12, 13 sind an den einander zugewandten Innenseiten der Ständer 1, 2 befestigt. In den Lagergehäusen 12, 13 ist jeweils eine Dämpfungseinrichtung untergebracht, mit der dafür gesorgt wird, dass die vom Übenden ausgeführten Bewegungen, im vorliegenden Fall das Gehtraining, nicht zu leichtgängig erfolgt und eine Gegenkraft erzeugt wird.At the upper end of the carrier 4, 5 each have an axis 10, 11 are fixed, which protrude into bearing housing 12, 13. The bearing housings 12, 13 are fastened to the mutually facing inner sides of the uprights 1, 2. In the bearing housings 12, 13 each have a damping device is housed, with which it is ensured that the movements performed by the exerciser, in the present case, the walking training, not too smooth and an opposing force is generated.

Das Bewegungsgerät gemäß Fig. 2 hat einen Ständer 14, der im Boden verankert wird und am oberen Ende einen Griffring 15 aufweist, der mit Abstand oberhalb des Ständers 14 angeordnet und durch schräg verlaufende Streben 16 mit ihm verbunden ist. Der Griffring 15 hat beispielhaft sechseckigen Umriss, kann aber auch eine andere Umrissform, beispielsweise kreisförmigen Umriss haben. Die eckige Gestaltung des Griffringes 15 hat den Vorteil, dass sich der Übende sicher und ohne die Gefahr des Wegrutschens seiner Hände halten kann.The movement device according to Fig. 2 has a stand 14 which is anchored in the ground and at the top of a handle ring 15 which is arranged at a distance above the stator 14 and connected by oblique struts 16 with him. The grip ring 15 has an example hexagonal outline, but may also have a different outline shape, for example, circular outline. The angular design of the handle ring 15 has the advantage that the practitioner can hold his hands safely and without the risk of slipping.

Mit Abstand neben dem Ständer 14 befindet sich ein Ständer 17, der ein Sitzteil 18 trägt, das begrenzt hin und her drehbar im Ständer 17 gelagert ist. Im unteren Bereich ist auf dem Ständer 17 eine Fußstütze 19 befestigt, auf der der Übende seine Füße während der Übungen stellen kann.At a distance next to the stand 14 is a stand 17, which carries a seat part 18 which is limited rotatably supported in the stand 17 back and forth. In the lower part of the stand 17, a footrest 19 is fixed on which the practitioner can put his feet during the exercises.

Auf der dem Ständer 17 gegenüberliegenden Seite des Ständers 14 befindet sich ein weiterer, im Boden verankerter Ständer 20, der ein Fußteil 21 trägt, das in Richtung des eingezeichneten Doppelpfeiles begrenzt gegenüber dem Ständer 20 drehbar ist. Der Ständer 20 hat nur geringe Länge, während der das Sitzteil 18 tragende Ständer 17 größere Länge aufweist. Die Ständer 17, 20 sind so abgestimmt, dass der Übende sich jeweils mit seinen Händen am Griffring 15 bequem abstützen kann.On the side opposite the stand 17 of the stand 14 is another, anchored in the ground stand 20, which carries a foot part 21 which is limited in the direction of the double arrow marked relative to the stator 20 is rotatable. The stand 20 has only a small length, while the seat part 18 carrying stand 17 has greater length. The stand 17, 20 are tuned so that the practitioner can each be comfortably supported with his hands on the handle ring 15.

Sowohl im Ständer 17 als auch im Ständer 20 ist jeweils eine Dämpfungseinrichtung untergebracht, die dafür sorgt, dass das Sitzteil 18 bzw. das Fußteil 21 nach dem Auslenken durch den Übenden eine Rückstellkraft in Richtung auf die Ausgangslage erfährt. Sitzt der Übende auf dem Sitzteil 18, dann kann er durch hin- und hergehende Bewegungen des Oberkörpers das Sitzteil 18 in Richtung des Doppelpfeiles hin und her bewegen. Steht der Übende auf dem Fußteil 21, dann kann er ebenfalls durch entsprechende Körperbewegungen das Fußteil 21 begrenzt hin und her drehen.Both in the stand 17 and in the stator 20 each have a damping device is housed, which ensures that the seat part 18 and the foot part 21 experiences a restoring force in the direction of the initial position after the deflection by the exerciser. The practitioner sitting on the seat part 18, then he can by reciprocating movements of the upper body, the seat part 18 in the direction of the double arrow to move back and forth. If the practitioner is standing on the foot part 21, then he can likewise rotate the foot part 21 to a limited extent by appropriate body movements.

Die Fig. 3 bis 5 zeigen eine erste Möglichkeit einer Dämpfungseinrichtung. Fig. 3 zeigt den Ständer 1 des Bewegungsgerätes gemäß Fig. 1. Am Ständer 1 ist der Träger 4 schwenkbar gelagert, der am oberen Ende die Achse 10 trägt, die drehfest mit dem Träger 4 verbunden und im Lagergehäuse 12 (Fig. 1) drehbar gelagert ist. Am unteren Ende des Trägers 4 befindet sich die Trittfläche 6, die in Fig. 3 nur schematisch dargestellt ist. Sie kann starr mit dem Träger 4, aber auch, wie aus Fig. 1 hervorgeht, begrenzt beweglich mit dem Träger 4 verbunden sein. Bei der Ausführungsform nach Fig. 1 können die Trittflächen 6, 7 jeweils um eine horizontale Achse 27, 28 gegenüber dem jeweiligen Träger 4, 5 geschwenkt werden.The Fig. 3 to 5 show a first possibility of a damping device. Fig. 3 shows the stand 1 of the movement device according to Fig. 1 , On the stand 1, the carrier 4 is pivotally mounted, which carries the axis 10 at the upper end, which is non-rotatably connected to the carrier 4 and in the bearing housing 12 (FIG. Fig. 1 ) is rotatably mounted. At the lower end of the carrier 4 is the tread surface 6, which in Fig. 3 is shown only schematically. It can be rigid with the carrier 4, but also like Fig. 1 shows, limited mobility to be connected to the carrier 4. In the embodiment according to Fig. 1 can the treads 6, 7 each about a horizontal axis 27, 28 with respect to the respective carrier 4, 5 are pivoted.

Bei der Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 3 sind an der Unterseite der Trittfläche 6 die Enden zweier gummielastischer Bänder oder Riemen 29, 30 befestigt, deren andere Enden im Untergrund oder an einer (nicht dargestellten) Befestigungsplatte des Bewegungsgerätes befestigt sind. Die beiden Dämpfungselemente 29, 30 erstrecken sich entgegengesetzt schräg zueinander nach unten. In der in Fig. 3 dargestellten Grundstellung des Trägers 4 sind die Dämpfungselemente 29, 30 vorgespannt, so dass der Träger 4 in der dargestellten Grundstellung gehalten wird, in der er sich parallel zum Ständer 1 erstreckt. Wird der Träger 4 um die Achse 10 geschwenkt, wird je nach Schwenkrichtung das Dämpfungselement 29 oder 30 elastisch gedehnt, wodurch auf den Träger 4 eine Rückstellkraft ausgeübt wird. Je stärker der Träger 4 geschwenkt wird, desto größer ist die vom Dämpfungselement 29, 30 ausgeübte Rückstellkraft. Durch diese Dämpfungseinrichtung 29, 30 ist somit sichergestellt, dass die Bewegung nicht zu leichtgängig ist. Die Dämpfungselemente 29, 30 sorgen außerdem dafür, dass der Träger 4 in seine Grundstellung zurückgeschwenkt wird, wenn die Übungsperson nicht mehr auf der Trittfläche 6 steht.In the embodiment according to Fig. 3 are at the bottom of the tread 6, the ends of two rubber-elastic bands or belts 29, 30 are fixed, the other ends are fixed in the ground or on a (not shown) mounting plate of the movement device. The two damping elements 29, 30 extend opposite to each other obliquely downward. In the in Fig. 3 illustrated basic position of the carrier 4, the damping elements 29, 30 are biased so that the carrier 4 is held in the illustrated basic position in which it extends parallel to the stator 1. If the carrier 4 is pivoted about the axis 10, depending on the pivoting direction, the damping element 29 or 30 is elastically stretched, whereby a restoring force is exerted on the carrier 4. The stronger the carrier 4 is pivoted, the greater the restoring force exerted by the damping element 29, 30. By this damping device 29, 30 is thus ensured that the movement is not too smooth. The damping elements 29, 30 also ensure that the carrier 4 is pivoted back to its normal position when the person practicing is no longer standing on the tread surface 6.

Die Fig. 4 und 5 zeigen eine einfachere Ausgestaltung der Dämpfungseinrichtung. An der Unterseite der Trittfläche 6 ist nur ein einziges Dämpfungselement 31 befestigt, das als gummielastisches Spannband oder dergleichen ausgebildet ist. Das untere Ende des Dämpfungselementes 31 ist auf einer Bodenplatte 32 befestigt, die am unteren Ende des Ständers 1 vorgesehen ist. In der Grundstellung des Trägers 4 (Fig.4) erstreckt sich das Dämpfungselement 31 vertikal.The 4 and 5 show a simpler embodiment of the damping device. On the underside of the tread surface 6, only a single damping element 31 is attached, which is designed as a rubber-elastic strap or the like. The lower end of the damping element 31 is mounted on a bottom plate 32 which is provided at the lower end of the stator 1. In the basic position of the carrier 4 ( Figure 4 ), the damping element 31 extends vertically.

Fig. 5 zeigt den Fall, dass der Träger 4 entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn gegenüber dem Ständer 1 geschwenkt worden ist. Das Dämpfungselement 31 wird hierbei elastisch gedehnt und übt dementsprechend eine Rückstellkraft auf den Träger 4 aus. Je größer der Schwenkwinkel des Trägers 4 ist, desto größer ist diese Rückstellkraft. Fig. 5 shows the case that the carrier 4 has been pivoted counterclockwise relative to the stator 1. The damping element 31 is elastically stretched and accordingly exerts a restoring force on the carrier 4. The greater the pivoting angle of the carrier 4, the greater is this restoring force.

Die Fig. 6 und 7 zeigen die Dämpfungseinrichtung, die bei den Bewegungsgeräten gemäß den Fig. 1 und 2 innerhalb des Lagergehäuses 12, 13, 26 angeordnet ist. Die Achse 10/11 wird durch wenigstens einen Diametralschlitz 33 durchsetzt, durch den sich ein gummielastisches Dämpfungselement 34 erstreckt. Es kann aus einem Spannriemen, Spannband und dergleichen gebildet sein. Die beiden Enden des Dämpfungselementes 34 sind innerhalb des Lagergehäuses 12, 13 fest mit ihm verbunden.The 6 and 7 show the damping device in the movement devices according to the Fig. 1 and 2 within the bearing housing 12, 13, 26 is arranged. The axis 10/11 is penetrated by at least one diametrical slot 33, through which a rubber-elastic damping element 34 extends. It may consist of a tensioning strap, strap and the like be formed. The two ends of the damping element 34 are connected within the bearing housing 12, 13 fixed to it.

Fig. 6 zeigt die Grundstellung der Achse 10/11, in welcher der Diametralschlitz 33 so ausgerichtet ist, dass das Dämpfungselement 34 über seine Länge geradlinig verläuft. Die Achse 10, 11 nimmt diese Lage dann ein, wenn sich beim Bewegungsgerät gemäß Fig. 1 die Träger 4, 5 in der Ausgangsstellung befinden, in der sie parallel zu den Ständern 1, 2 verlaufen. In ähnlicher Weise sind auch beim Bewegungsgerät gemäß Fig. 2 die Achsen des Sitzteils 18 und des Fußteils 21 (Fig. 2) mit solchen Diametralschlitzen versehen, durch welche das Dämpfungselement 34 verläuft. Der Übergang der den Diametralschlitz 33 begrenzenden Wandungen 33a, 33b in den Mantel der Achse 10/11 ist gekrümmt ausgebildet. Dadurch wird das Dämpfungselement 34 beim Drehen der Achse 10/11 nicht abgeknickt (Fig. 5). Fig. 6 shows the basic position of the axis 10/11, in which the diametrical slit 33 is aligned so that the damping element 34 is rectilinear over its length. The axis 10, 11 assumes this position when, according to the movement device Fig. 1 the carriers 4, 5 are in the starting position, in which they run parallel to the uprights 1, 2. Similarly, the movement device according to Fig. 2 the axes of the seat part 18 and the foot part 21 (FIG. Fig. 2 ) provided with such diametral slots through which the damping element 34 extends. The transition of the diametrical slit 33 bounding walls 33a, 33b in the mantle of the axis 10/11 is formed curved. As a result, the damping element 34 is not bent during rotation of the axle 10/11 ( Fig. 5 ).

Wird der Träger 4, 5 bzw. der Sitzteil 18 oder der Fußteil 21 geschwenkt, dann wird das Dämpfungselement 34 elastisch gedehnt (Fig. 7), wodurch auf die Achse 10/11 eine Rückstellkraft in Richtung auf die Ruhestellung gemäß Fig. 6 ausgeübt wird. Wie schon bei den Ausführungsformen nach den Fig. 3 und 5 nimmt die Rückstellkraft mit steigendem Drehwinkel der Achse 10/11 zu. Aufgrund dieser Ausbildung ist gewährleistet, dass die Träger 4, 5 nicht zu leichtgängig geschwenkt werden können, wodurch, insbesondere bei gebrechlichen Übungspersonen, eine hohe Unfall- und Verletzungsgefahr bestehen würde.If the carrier 4, 5 or the seat part 18 or the foot part 21 is pivoted, then the damping element 34 is elastically stretched ( Fig. 7 ), whereby on the axis 10/11 a restoring force in the direction of the rest position according to Fig. 6 is exercised. As with the embodiments according to the FIGS. 3 and 5 takes the restoring force with increasing angle of rotation of the axis 10/11. Due to this design ensures that the carrier 4, 5 can not be swiveled too smoothly, which, especially in frail exercise people, a high risk of injury and injury would exist.

Die Ausgestaltung der Dämpfungseinrichtung ist konstruktiv sehr einfach ausgebildet und damit kostengünstig herzustellen. Je nach Länge der Achse 10/11 können auch zwei oder mehr Diametralschlitze 33 vorgesehen sein, die jeweils von einem Dämpfungselement 34 durchsetzt sind.The design of the damping device is structurally very simple and thus inexpensive to manufacture. Depending on the length of the axis 10/11, two or more diametrical slots 33 may be provided, which are each penetrated by a damping element 34.

Im Folgenden werden die unterschiedlichen Ausführungsformen der Dämpfungseinrichtungen anhand der Achsen 10/11 des Bewegungsgerätes gemäß Fig. 1 erläutert. Diese Dämpfungseinrichtungen sind aber auch beim Bewegungsgerät gemäß Fig. 2 einsetzbar, bei dem ebenfalls Achsen vorgesehen sind, die in entsprechende Lagergehäuse eingreifen.In the following, the different embodiments of the damping devices based on the axes 10/11 of the movement device according to Fig. 1 explained. These damping devices are also according to the movement device Fig. 2 can be used, in which also axes are provided, which engage in corresponding bearing housing.

Bei der Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 8 sind an diametral einander gegenüberliegenden Stellen der Achse 10/11 die Enden jeweils eines Dämpfungselementes 35, 36 befestigt. Sie können wie bei den vorigen Ausführungsformen durch Spannriemen, Spannbänder und dergleichen gebildet sein. Die Anbindungspunkte der Dämpfungselemente 35, 36 liegen in Höhe einer Radialebene 37 der Achse 10/11. Die anderen Enden der Dämpfungselemente 35, 36 sind geräteseitig befestigt. In der in Fig. 8 dargestellten Ruhestellung sind die Dämpfungselemente 35, 36, wie auch bei den vorigen Ausführungsformen, vorgespannt. Dadurch wird erreicht, dass die Achse 10/11, wenn keine Übungsperson am Bewegungsgerät arbeitet, in die Grundstellung gemäß Fig. 8 zurückgedreht wird. Werden die Träger 4, 5 in der beschriebenen Weise während der Übung gegenüber dem Ständer 1, 2 geschwenkt, wird die Achse 10/11 entsprechend gedreht. Je nach Drehrichtung wird das eine oder das andere Dämpfungselement 35, 36 gedehnt und übt dadurch eine mit zunehmenden Drehwinkel größer werdende Rückstellkraft auf die Achse 10/11 und damit auf den Träger 4, 5 aus.In the embodiment according to Fig. 8 are at diametrically opposite positions of the axis 10/11, the ends of each of a damping element 35, 36 attached. They may be formed by tensioning straps, straps and the like as in the previous embodiments. The connection points of the damping elements 35, 36 are in the amount of a radial plane 37 of the axis 10/11. The other ends of the damping elements 35, 36 are mounted on the device side. In the in Fig. 8 shown rest position, the damping elements 35, 36, as in the previous embodiments, biased. This ensures that the axis 10/11, if no exercise person works on the movement device, in the normal position according to Fig. 8 is turned back. If the carriers 4, 5 are pivoted in the manner described during the exercise with respect to the stand 1, 2, the axis 10/11 is rotated accordingly. Depending on the direction of rotation, one or the other damping element 35, 36 is stretched and thereby exerts a restoring force increasing with increasing rotational angle on the axis 10/11 and thus on the carrier 4, 5.

Die Befestigung der Dämpfungselemente 35, 36 am Umfang der Achse 10/11 ist so gestaltet, dass sie auch bei größeren Drehwinkeln der Achse 10/11 nicht gelöst wird.The attachment of the damping elements 35, 36 on the circumference of the axis 10/11 is designed so that it is not solved even at larger angles of rotation of the axis 10/11.

Während sich die Dämpfungselemente 35, 36 bei der Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 8 tangential zur Achse 10/11 erstrecken, verlaufen sie bei der Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 9 radial zur Achse 10/11. Fig. 9 zeigt die Grundstellung, in der die beiden Dämpfungselemente 35, 36 fluchtend zueinander liegen und in der Radialebene 37 angeordnet sind. Wird die Achse 10/11 gedreht, wird je nach Drehrichtung das eine oder andere Dämpfungselement 35, 36 elastisch gedehnt und übt dementsprechend eine Rückstellkraft auf die Achse 10/11 in Richtung auf die Ausgangslage aus. In der Grundstellung nach Fig. 9 sind die Dämpfungselemente 35, 36 vorgespannt.While the damping elements 35, 36 in the embodiment according to Fig. 8 extend tangentially to the axis 10/11, they run in the embodiment according to Fig. 9 radial to the axis 10/11. Fig. 9 shows the basic position in which the two damping elements 35, 36 are aligned with each other and arranged in the radial plane 37. If the axis is rotated 10/11, depending on the direction of rotation, one or the other damping element 35, 36 elastically stretched and accordingly exercises a restoring force on the axis 10/11 in the direction of the starting position. In the basic position Fig. 9 the damping elements 35, 36 are biased.

Je nach Länge der Achse 10/11 können mehrere Dämpfungselemente 35, 36 bei den Ausführungsformen nach den Fig. 8 und 9 mit Abstand hintereinander angeordnet sein, so dass auf die Achse 10/11 gleichmäßig eine Rückstellkraft wirkt.Depending on the length of the axis 10/11, a plurality of damping elements 35, 36 in the embodiments of the 8 and 9 be arranged at a distance one behind the other, so that acts on the axis 10/11 evenly a restoring force.

Die Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 10 ist ähnlich ausgebildet wie das Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig. 9. Die Dämpfungselemente 35, 36 sind keine Spannbänder oder Spannriemen, sondern Zugfedern, die mit ihrem einen Ende diametral einander gegenüberliegend am Umfang der Achse 10/11 und mit ihrem anderen Ende geräteseitig befestigt sind. Die Achsen der Zugfedern 35, 36 liegen in der Grundstellung gemäß Fig. 10 in der Radialebene 37 der Achse 10/11. Die Druckfedern 35, 36 haben ein radial zur Achse 10/11 sich erstreckendes Anschlussstück 38, 39, das einstückig mit der Zugfeder ausgebildet und so lang ist, dass beim Drehen der Achse 10/11 der gewendelte Bereich der Zugfedern nicht in Kontakt mit der Achse 10/11 gelangt. Beim Drehen der Achse 10/11 werden die Zugfedern 35, 36 gedehnt und erzeugen somit eine auf die Achse 10/11 wirkende Rückstellkraft.The embodiment according to Fig. 10 is similar to the embodiment according to Fig. 9 , The damping elements 35, 36 are no tension bands or tensioning belts, but tension springs, which are fixed at one end diametrically opposite each other on the circumference of the axis 10/11 and the other end of the device side. The axes of the tension springs 35, 36 are in the normal position according to Fig. 10 in the radial plane 37 of the axis 10/11. The compression springs 35, 36 have a radially extending to the axis 10/11 fitting 38, 39, which is formed integrally with the tension spring and is so long that when turning the axis 10/11 of the coiled portion of the tension springs are not in contact with the axis 10/11 arrived. When turning the axle 10/11, the tension springs 35, 36 are stretched and thus generate a force acting on the axis 10/11 restoring force.

Fig. 11 zeigt eine Ausführungsform, bei der anstelle einer zylindrischen Achse ein um eine Achse 40 schwenkbares Lagerteil 41 vorgesehen ist. Es hat unrunden Querschnitt mit diametral einander gegenüberliegenden verjüngten Enden 42, 43, an deren Spitzen 44, 45 Dämpfungselemente 46, 47 befestigt sind. Es ist möglich, an den beiden Spitzen 44, 45 die Enden jeweils zweier Dämpfungselemente 46, 47 zu befestigen. Es ist aber auch möglich, an jeder Seite des Lagerteiles 41 nur ein Dämpfungselement 46 und 47 vorzusehen, das mit seinen beiden Enden jeweils geräteseitig befestigt und im Bereich zwischen diesen Enden an den Spitzen 44, 45 des Lagerteiles 41 befestigt wird. Die Dämpfungselemente 46, 47 können wiederum Spannbänder oder Spannriemen sein. In der in Fig. 11 dargestellten Ausgangslage sind die Dämpfungselemente 46, 47 vorgespannt, so dass das Lagerteil 41 in die dargestellte Ausgangslage geschwenkt wird, wenn am jeweiligen Bewegungsgerät keine Übungsperson im Einsatz ist. Sobald das Lagerteil 41 um die Achse 40 geschwenkt wird, wird je nach Drehrichtung das eine oder andere Dämpfungselement 46, 47 stärker gespannt, so dass entsprechend dem Schwenkwinkel eine zunehmend größere Rückstellkraft auf das Lagerteil 41 ausgeübt wird. Fig. 11 shows an embodiment in which instead of a cylindrical axis a pivotable about an axis 40 bearing part 41 is provided. It has non-circular cross-section with diametrically opposed tapered ends 42, 43, at the tips 44, 45 damping elements 46, 47 are attached. It is possible to attach the ends of two damping elements 46, 47 to the two tips 44, 45. But it is also possible to provide on each side of the bearing part 41, only one damping element 46 and 47, which is fixed at the device ends with its two ends and in the region between these ends to the tips 44, 45 of the bearing part 41 is attached. The damping elements 46, 47 may in turn be tension bands or tension belts. In the in Fig. 11 shown Starting position, the damping elements 46, 47 biased so that the bearing member 41 is pivoted to the initial position shown when no exercise person is in use on each movement device. As soon as the bearing part 41 is pivoted about the axis 40, depending on the direction of rotation, one or the other damping element 46, 47 is stretched more, so that an increasingly greater restoring force is exerted on the bearing part 41 in accordance with the pivoting angle.

Die Breite des Lagerteiles 41 nimmt von den Enden 42, 43 aus zu. In halber Länge weist das Lagerteil 41 seine größte Breite auf.The width of the bearing part 41 increases from the ends 42, 43 from. Halfway along, the bearing part 41 has its greatest width.

Beim Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig. 12 sind anstelle der Spannbänder oder Spannriemen Zugfedern 48, 49 als Dämpfungselemente befestigt. Wie bei der Ausführungsform nach Fig. 10 sind die Zugfedern über jeweils ein gerades Anschlussstück 50, 51 an den Spitzen 44, 45 des Lagerteiles 41 befestigt. Die Anschlussstücke 50, 51 sind wiederum so lang, dass die gewendelten Bereiche der Zugfedern 48, 49 beim Schwenken des Lagerteiles 41 nicht in Kontakt mit ihm gelangen.According to the embodiment Fig. 12 are instead of the straps or tensioning straps springs 48, 49 attached as damping elements. As in the embodiment according to Fig. 10 are the tension springs via a respective straight connector 50, 51 attached to the tips 44, 45 of the bearing part 41. The connecting pieces 50, 51 are in turn so long that the coiled regions of the tension springs 48, 49 do not come into contact with it when the bearing part 41 is pivoted.

Beim Ausführungsbeispiel nach den Fig. 13 und 14 sind die Dämpfungselemente 35, 36 über einen Teil des Umfanges auf der Mantelfläche der Achse 10/11 befestigt. Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel sind die Dämpfungselemente 35, 36 Spannriemen, die mit axialem Abstand hintereinander auf der zylindrischen Achse 10/11 befestigt sind. Die beiden Dämpfungselemente 35, 36 sind so auf der Achse 10/11 befestigt, dass ihre jeweiligen Enden 52, 53 in Höhe der Radialebene 37 der Achse 10/11 liegen. Die beiden Dämpfungselemente 46, 47 erstrecken sich von ihrem Ende 52, 53 aus in entgegengesetzten Richtungen längs des Umfanges der Achse 10/11. Die anderen Enden der Dämpfungselemente 48, 49 sind geräteseitig fest befestigt. Wird die Achse 10/11 gedreht, werden je nach Drehrichtung die Dämpfungselemente 35, 36 elastisch gedehnt und dadurch eine Rückstellkraft auf die Achse 10/11 in Richtung auf die in Fig. 14 dargestellte Ruhelage ausgeübt. Da die Dämpfungselemente 35, 36 über einen Teil ihrer Länge am Umfang der Achse 10/11 befestigt sind, besteht nicht die Gefahr, dass sie von der Achse unbeabsichtigt gelöst werden. Im Ausführungsbeispiel sind die Dämpfungselemente über den halben Umfang an der Achse 10/11 befestigt. Der Befestigungsbereich kann sich aber auch über mehr oder weniger als den halben Umfang erstrecken. Die als Spannriemen ausgebildeten Dämpfungselemente 35, 36 nehmen nur wenig Raum in Anspruch, so dass die Dämpfungseinrichtung auch bei beengten Einbauverhältnissen eingesetzt werden kann.In the embodiment of the FIGS. 13 and 14 the damping elements 35, 36 are fixed over part of the circumference on the lateral surface of the axis 10/11. In the illustrated embodiment, the damping elements 35, 36 tensioning straps, which are mounted at an axial distance one behind the other on the cylindrical axis 10/11. The two damping elements 35, 36 are mounted on the axle 10/11 such that their respective ends 52, 53 are at the level of the radial plane 37 of the axle 10/11. The two damping elements 46, 47 extend from their ends 52, 53 in opposite directions along the circumference of the axis 10/11. The other ends of the damping elements 48, 49 are firmly attached to the device. If the axis is rotated 10/11, depending on the direction of rotation, the damping elements 35, 36 elastically stretched and thereby a restoring force on the axis 10/11 in the direction of the in Fig. 14 shown rest position exercised. Since the damping elements 35, 36 over part of their length on the circumference The axis 10/11 are fixed, there is no risk that they are unintentionally released from the axis. In the exemplary embodiment, the damping elements are mounted over half the circumference of the axis 10/11. The mounting area may also extend over more or less than half the circumference. The damping elements designed as tensioning straps 35, 36 occupy only a small amount of space, so that the damping device can also be used in cramped installation conditions.

Beim Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig. 15 ist das Dämpfungselement 54 ebenfalls am Umfang der zylindrischen Achse 10/11 angeordnet. Der auf der Achse liegende Teil 54' des Dämpfungselementes 54 kann aus einem nichtelastischem Material bestehen. An seinen beiden Enden 55, 56 ist jeweils ein Ende einer Zugfeder 57, 58 befestigt, deren anderes Ende geräteseitig befestigt ist. Die Zugfedern 57, 58, die in der in Fig. 15 dargestellten Ruhestellung der Achse 10/11 vorgespannt sind, erzeugen beim Drehen der Achse die auf diese wirkende Rückholkraft. Der unelastische Teil 54' steht so weit vor, dass beim Drehen der Achse 10/11 die Zugfedern 57, 58 nicht in Berührung mit der Achse kommen.According to the embodiment Fig. 15 the damping element 54 is also arranged on the circumference of the cylindrical axis 10/11. The on-axis portion 54 'of the damping element 54 may be made of a non-elastic material. At its two ends 55, 56 one end of a tension spring 57, 58 is fixed, the other end is fixed to the device side. The tension springs 57, 58, in the in Fig. 15 shown rest position of the axis 10/11 are biased, generate when turning the axis acting on this return force. The inelastic part 54 'is so far that when the axle 10/11 is rotated, the tension springs 57, 58 do not come into contact with the axle.

Der Dämpfungsteil 54' wird beispielhaft durch eine Kette gebildet, die über ein Ketten- oder Taschenrad 59 geführt ist. Es kann Teil der Achse 10/11, aber auch eine eigenständige Einheit sein, die entweder zusätzlich zur Achse 10/11 oder als alleiniges Drehteil vorgesehen sein kann. An die Kettenenden 55, 56 sind die Zugfedern 57, 58 angeschlossen. Anstelle der Zugfedern können auch andere elastische Teile, wie Spannbänder, Spannriemen und dergleichen verwendet werden.The damping member 54 'is exemplified by a chain which is guided over a chain or pocket wheel 59. It may be part of the axle 10/11, but also a separate unit, which may be provided either in addition to the axle 10/11 or as the sole rotating part. At the chain ends 55, 56, the tension springs 57, 58 are connected. Instead of the tension springs, other elastic parts, such as tension bands, tensioning straps and the like can be used.

Die Fig. 16 und 16a zeigen eine besonders kompakte Gestaltung der Dämpfungseinrichtung. Sie besteht aus zwei gegensinnig gewickelten, jeweils vorgespannten Spiralfedern 60, 61, die zwischen dem Lagergehäuse 12/13 und der Achse 10/11 angeordnet sind. In Fig. 16 sind die beiden Spiralfedern 60, 61 nur schematisch dargestellt. Das eine abgewinkelte Ende 62 der Spiralfeder 60 ist am Lagergehäuse 12/13 befestigt. Von diesem Federende 62 aus verläuft die Spiralfeder 60 im Uhrzeigersinn. Das andere Ende 63 dieser Spiralfeder 60 ist in der Achse 10/11 befestigt. Das Ende 64 der anderen Spiralfeder 61 ist dem Spiralfederende 62 diametral gegenüberliegend ebenfalls am Lagergehäuse 12/13 befestigt. Von diesem Ende aus erstreckt sich die Spiralfeder 61 entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn. Das andere Ende 65 der Spiralfeder 61 ist dem Spiralfederende 63 diametral gegenüberliegend an der Achse 10/11 befestigt. Je nach Drehrichtung der Achse 10/11 wird die eine oder die andere Spiralfeder 60, 61 zusammengezogen, wodurch eine Rückstellkraft auf die Achse 10/11 ausgeübt wird.The Fig. 16 and 16a show a particularly compact design of the damping device. It consists of two oppositely wound, each biased coil springs 60, 61, which are arranged between the bearing housing 12/13 and the axis 10/11. In Fig. 16 the two coil springs 60, 61 are shown only schematically. The one angled end 62 of the Spiral spring 60 is attached to the bearing housing 12/13. From this spring end 62 of the spiral spring 60 extends in a clockwise direction. The other end 63 of this coil spring 60 is fixed in the axis 10/11. The end 64 of the other coil spring 61 is the coil spring end 62 diametrically opposite also attached to the bearing housing 12/13. From this end, the coil spring 61 extends counterclockwise. The other end 65 of the coil spring 61 is attached to the coil spring end 63 diametrically opposite to the axis 10/11. Depending on the direction of rotation of the axle 10/11, one or the other coil spring 60, 61 is contracted, whereby a restoring force is exerted on the axle 10/11.

Fig. 17 zeigt eine Kurvenscheibe 66, die dreieckförmigen Umriss mit abgerundeten Ecken hat. Die Kurvenscheibe 66 kann um die Achse 67 geschwenkt werden. An den geraden Außenseiten 68 bis 70 der Kurvenscheibe 66 greifen Dämpfungselemente 71 bis 73 an. Sie weisen jeweils Druckfedern 74 bis 76 auf, die jeweils über eine Druckscheibe 77 bis 79 einen Rollkörper 80 bis 82, wie eine Rolle, eine Kugel und dgl., gegen den jeweiligen Rand 68 bis 70 der Kurvenscheibe 66 drücken. Fig. 17 shows a cam 66 which has triangular outline with rounded corners. The cam 66 can be pivoted about the axis 67. At the straight outer sides 68 to 70 of the cam 66 engage damping elements 71 to 73. They each have compression springs 74 to 76 which each press a rolling element 80 to 82, such as a roller, a ball and the like, against the respective edge 68 to 70 of the cam 66 via a pressure plate 77 to 79.

Die anderen Enden der Druckfedern 74 bis 76 sind geräteseitig befestigt.The other ends of the compression springs 74 to 76 are mounted on the device side.

In der in Fig. 17 dargestellten Grundstellung liegen die Rollkörper 80 bis 82 in halber Länge an den Außenseiten 68 bis 70 der Kurvenscheibe 66 unter der Kraft der Druckfedern an. Die Druckfedern 74 bis 76 sind in der Grundstellung so angeordnet, dass ihre Längsachsen einander in der Schwenkachse 67 schneiden. Dadurch wird die Kurvenscheibe 66 in einer definierten Ausgangsstellung gehalten. Wird die Kurvenscheibe 66 von der Übungsperson um die Achse 67 geschwenkt, werden die Druckfedern 74 bis 76 zusammengedrückt, wobei die Rollkörper 80 bis 82 sich relativ zur Kurvenscheibe 66 längs der Außenseiten 68 bis 70 bewegen. Die Rollkörper 80 bis 82 erlauben ein leichtgängiges Drehen der Kurvenscheibe 66. Die Druckfedern 74 bis 76 üben somit in verschwenkter Lage stets eine Rückholkraft auf die Kurvenscheibe 66 aus. Die Kurvenscheibe 66 kann um die Achse 67 maximal so weit geschwenkt werden, dass die Rollkörper 80 bis 82 nicht auf die nächste Außenseite 68 bis 70 der Kurvenscheibe gelangen.In the in Fig. 17 illustrated basic position are the rolling elements 80 to 82 in half the length of the outer sides 68 to 70 of the cam 66 under the force of the compression springs. The compression springs 74 to 76 are arranged in the basic position so that their longitudinal axes intersect each other in the pivot axis 67. As a result, the cam 66 is held in a defined starting position. When the cam 66 is pivoted about the axis 67 by the exerciser, the compression springs 74-76 are compressed, with the rollers 80-82 moving relative to the cam 66 along the outer sides 68-70. The rolling elements 80 to 82 allow a smooth turning of the cam 66. The compression springs 74 to 76 thus exert in the pivoted position always a return force on the cam 66 from. The cam 66 can about the axis 67th be pivoted so far that the rollers 80 to 82 do not reach the next outer side 68 to 70 of the cam.

Fig. 18 zeigt eine Kurvenscheibe 83, die vier konvex gekrümmte Außenseiten 84 bis 87 aufweist. An jeder Außenseite greift jeweils ein Dämpfungselement 88 bis 91 an, das gleich ausgebildet ist wie bei der vorigen Ausführungsform. Zwischen den Außenseiten 84 bis 87 befinden sich vorstehende Anschläge 92 bis 95, welche die Außenseiten voneinander trennen. Dadurch wird verhindert, dass die Rollkörper 96 bis 99 der Dämpfungselemente 88 bis 91 auf eine benachbarte Außenseite gelangen. Fig. 18 shows a cam 83 having four convexly curved outer sides 84 to 87. On each outer side engages in each case a damping element 88 to 91, which is the same design as in the previous embodiment. Between the outer sides 84 to 87 are projecting stops 92 to 95, which separate the outer sides of each other. This prevents that the rolling bodies 96 to 99 of the damping elements 88 to 91 reach an adjacent outside.

In der in Fig. 18 dargestellten Ruhestellung schneiden die Längsachsen der Dämpfungselemente einander in der Schwenkachse der Kurvenscheibe 83.In the in Fig. 18 shown rest position cut the longitudinal axes of the damping elements each other in the pivot axis of the cam 83th

Die Kurvenscheibe 100 gemäß Fig. 19 hat im Wesentlichen Dreieckform. An einer Seite ist die Kurvenscheibe 100 mit einer Vertiefung 101 versehen, deren Boden 102 konvex gekrümmt ist. Am Boden 102 liegt unter der Kraft einer Druckfeder 103 eines Dämpfungselementes 104 ein Rollkörper 105 an. Das Dämpfungselement 104 ist gleich ausgebildet wie bei den Ausführungsformen nach den Fig. 17 und 18.The cam 100 according to Fig. 19 has essentially triangular shape. On one side of the cam plate 100 is provided with a recess 101, the bottom 102 is convexly curved. At the bottom 102 is under the force of a compression spring 103 of a damping element 104, a rolling body 105 at. The damping element 104 is the same design as in the embodiments according to the Fig. 17 and 18 ,

Die Kurvenscheibe 100 ist um die Achse 106 schwenkbar. Der Rollkörper 105 ermöglicht ein leichtgängiges Verschwenken der Kurvenscheibe 100. Die Seitenwände 107, 108 der Vertiefung 101 dienen als Anschläge für den Rollkörper 105. Die Seitenwände 107, 108 begrenzen somit den Schwenkwinkel der Kurvenscheibe 100. Die Krümmungsachse des Bodens 102 ist nicht die Achse 106. Dadurch ist gewährleistet, dass beim Schwenken der Kurvenscheibe 100 um die Achse 106 die Druckfeder 103 zusammengedrückt wird und eine Gegenkraft erzeugt. Der Boden 102 kann auch tangential zu einem gedachten Kreis (gestrichelte Linie) um die Achse 106 verlaufen.The cam 100 is pivotable about the axis 106. The rolling body 105 allows smooth pivoting of the cam 100. The side walls 107, 108 of the recess 101 serve as stops for the roller 105. The side walls 107, 108 thus limit the pivot angle of the cam 100. The axis of curvature of the bottom 102 is not the axis 106th This ensures that when pivoting the cam 100 about the axis 106, the compression spring 103 is compressed and generates a counterforce. The floor 102 may also be tangent to an imaginary circle (dashed line) about the axis 106.

Wie bei den Ausführungsformen nach den Fig. 17 und 18 liegt der Rollkörper 105 unter der Kraft der vorgespannten Druckfeder 103 am Boden 102 an. Die Vorspannung der Druckfeder 103 ist so groß, dass der Rollkörper 105 in jeder Schwenklage der Kurvenscheibe 100 gegen den Boden 102 drückt.As in the embodiments of the Fig. 17 and 18 the roller 105 is under the force of the prestressed compression spring 103 on the bottom 102 at. The bias of the compression spring 103 is so great that the roller body 105 presses against the floor 102 in each pivotal position of the cam 100.

Fig. 20 zeigt, wie die Druckfedern und der Rollkörper bei den Ausführungsbeispielen nach den Fig. 17 bis 19 ausgebildet und gelagert sein können. Die Druckfeder 103 ragt mit ihrem einen Ende in eine Vertiefung 109 eines gerätefesten Teiles 110, gegenüber dem die Kurvenscheibe gedreht wird. In der Vertiefung 109 ist die Druckfeder 103 lagegesichert. Die Druckscheibe 111 ist an dem aus der Vertiefung 109 ragenden Ende der Druckfeder 103 befestigt und weist an ihrer von der Druckfeder abgewandten Seite wenigstens eine vorstehende Lasche 112 auf, die eine Achse 113 für den Rollkörper 105 trägt. Er ist um die Achse 113 frei drehbar. Vorteilhaft liegt der Rollkörper 105 zwischen zwei Laschen 112, zwischen denen sich die Achse 113 erstreckt. Fig. 20 shows how the compression springs and the rolling body in the embodiments of the 17 to 19 can be trained and stored. The compression spring 103 protrudes with its one end into a recess 109 of a device-fixed part 110, against which the cam is rotated. In the recess 109, the compression spring 103 is secured in position. The pressure disk 111 is fastened to the end of the compression spring 103 projecting from the recess 109 and has on its side remote from the pressure spring at least one projecting lug 112 which carries an axle 113 for the roller body 105. It is freely rotatable about the axis 113. Advantageously, the roller 105 is between two tabs 112, between which the axis 113 extends.

Die in Fig. 20 dargestellte Ausbildung ist nur beispielhaft zu verstehen. Der Rollkörper kann auch auf jede andere geeignete Weise frei drehbar mit der Druckfeder 103 verbunden sein.In the Fig. 20 illustrated training is only to be understood as an example. The rolling body can also be freely rotatably connected to the compression spring 103 in any other suitable manner.

Fig. 21 zeigt die Dämpfungseinrichtung gemäß Fig. 8, die zusätzlich mit einem Anschlag 114 versehen ist. Er ist stabförmig ausgebildet und steht radial von der Achse 10/11 ab. Der Anschlag ragt in eine Vertiefung 115 des gerätefesten Teiles 110. Der Schwenkweg des Anschlages 114 wird von zwei Puffern 116, 117 begrenzt, die an Seitenwänden 118, 119 der Vertiefung 115 vorgesehen sind. Durch den Anschlag 114 im Zusammenwirken mit den Puffern 116, 117 ist somit gewährleistet, dass die Achse 10/11 nur um einen begrenzten Winkel gedreht werden kann. Der gerätefeste Teil 110 kann beispielsweise im Lagergehäuse 12, 13 vorgesehen sein. Fig. 21 shows the damping device according to Fig. 8 , which is additionally provided with a stop 114. It is rod-shaped and is radially from the axis 10/11 from. The stop protrudes into a recess 115 of the device-fixed part 110. The pivoting of the stop 114 is limited by two buffers 116, 117, which are provided on side walls 118, 119 of the recess 115. By the stop 114 in cooperation with the buffers 116, 117 is thus ensured that the axis 10/11 can be rotated only by a limited angle. The device-fixed part 110 may be provided, for example, in the bearing housing 12, 13.

Fig. 22 zeigt eine Dämpfungseinrichtung, die weitgehend gleich wie die Dämpfungseinrichtung gemäß Fig. 9 ausgebildet ist. Sie weist den zusätzlichen stabförmigen Anschlag 120 auf, der radial von der Achse 10/11 absteht und in die Vertiefung 115 des gerätefesten Teiles 110 eingreift. Der Schwenkweg des Anschlages 120 wird durch die Puffer 116, 117 an den Seitenwänden 118, 119 der Vertiefung 115 begrenzt. Die Dämpfungselemente 35, 36 sind mit ihren freien Enden am gerätefesten Teil 110 befestigt. In der dargestellten Ruhelage liegen die fluchtend zueinander liegenden Dämpfungselemente 35, 36 senkrecht zum Anschlag 120, der entsprechend der vorigen Ausführungsform mittig in die Vertiefung 115 ragt. Der Anschlag 120 begrenzt den Drehweg der Achse 10/11. Die Dämpfungselemente 35, 36 werden beim Drehen der Achse 10/11 in der beschriebenen Weise gedehnt, wodurch auf die Asche 10/11 eine entsprechende Rückstellkraft wirkt. Fig. 22 shows a damping device which is largely the same as the damping device according to Fig. 9 is trained. It has the additional rod-shaped stop 120, which projects radially from the axis 10/11 and engages in the recess 115 of the device-fixed part 110. The pivoting path of the stop 120 is limited by the buffers 116, 117 on the side walls 118, 119 of the recess 115. The damping elements 35, 36 are attached with their free ends on the device-fixed part 110. In the rest position shown, the mutually aligned damping elements 35, 36 are perpendicular to the stop 120, which projects centrally into the recess 115 according to the previous embodiment. The stop 120 limits the rotational path of the axis 10/11. The damping elements 35, 36 are stretched during rotation of the axle 10/11 in the manner described, whereby the ash 10/11 acts a corresponding restoring force.

Fig. 23 zeigt die Achse 10/11, an deren Umfang verteilt radial abstehende Arme 121 befestigt sind. Sie sind stabförmig ausgebildet und beispielhaft in Winkelabständen von 90° zueinander angeordnet. Die Zahl der Arme kann selbstverständlich variieren. Jeder Arm 121 greift in eine Vertiefung 122 des gerätefesten Teiles 110 ein. Sämtliche Vertiefungen 122 sind gleich ausgebildet und haben Seitenwände 123, 124. Innerhalb jeder Vertiefung 122 greift an einander gegenüberliegenden Seiten des Armes 121 jeweils ein Dämpfungselement 125, 126 an, das als Spannband, Spannriemen oder auch durch Zugfedern gebildet sein kann. Die Dämpfungselemente 125, 126 sind mit ihren anderen Enden an den Seitenwänden 123, 124 der Vertiefungen 122 befestigt. Fig. 23 shows the axis 10/11, distributed on the circumference radially projecting arms 121 are attached. They are rod-shaped and arranged by way of example at angular intervals of 90 ° to each other. The number of arms can of course vary. Each arm 121 engages in a recess 122 of the device fixed part 110 a. All recesses 122 are of identical design and have side walls 123, 124. Within each recess 122 engages on opposite sides of the arm 121 each have a damping element 125, 126, which may be formed as a strap, straps or by tension springs. The damping elements 125, 126 are attached at their other ends to the side walls 123, 124 of the recesses 122.

Von der Achse 10/11 steht ein stabförmiger Anschlag 127 ab, der in eine geräteseitige Vertiefung 128 ragt. Sie ist ähnlich ausgebildet wie die Vertiefung 122, jedoch in Umfangsrichtung schmaler als diese. An den Seitenwänden 129, 130 der Vertiefung 128 befinden sich die Puffer 116, 117, wie sie bei den Ausführungsformen nach den Fig. 21 und 22 vorgesehen sind. Sie sind vorteilhaft elastisch ausgebildet.From the axis 10/11 is a rod-shaped stop 127, which projects into a device-side recess 128. It is similar to the recess 122, but narrower in the circumferential direction than this. On the side walls 129, 130 of the recess 128 are the buffers 116, 117, as in the embodiments of the FIGS. 21 and 22 are provided. They are advantageously elastic.

Da die Vertiefung 128 schmaler als die anderen Vertiefungen 122 ist, kommen die Arme 121 nicht an den Seitenwänden 123, 124 zur Anlage, so dass nicht die Gefahr besteht, dass die Dämpfungselemente 125, 126 zwischen den Armen 121 und den Seitenwänden 123, 124 gequetscht und beschädigt werden . Der Anschlag 127 begrenzt den Schwenk- bzw. Drehweg der Achse 10/11.Since the depression 128 is narrower than the other depressions 122, the arms 121 do not come into contact with the side walls 123, 124, so that there is no risk of the damping elements 125, 126 being squeezed between the arms 121 and the side walls 123, 124 and get damaged. The stop 127 limits the pivotal or rotary path of the axis 10/11.
