Description

[0001] The invention relates to a multifunctional fitness device for elastic resistances, as is described in the preamble of claim 1.

BACKGROUND AND RESEARCH

[0002] Multifunctional fitness devices are known from the state of the art. In most cases, such devices require a great amount of space and are often also complicated to operate. The devices consist of several training machines. The modification of the exercise devices for executing an exercise for others requires a lot of skill and time. Moreover, the sequences of movement by the claims of multifunctionality are not optimal in their biomechanical sequence. Preset sequences of movement limit the user. The weight-loading of these devices is accomplished in most cases by iron weight plates. Noise is generated by the weight plates striking one another when the exercises are executed. In many devices, a fine weight gradation is not possible since the difference in weight between the plates is too large. The kinetic centrifugal mass has a negative effect in quick sequences of movement and prevents optimum training results. The size of the devices is often an obstacle for set-up in living areas. Multifunction fitness devices are also known whose resistance is produced by elastic resistance units (U.S. 2008/0039302 A1). The devices of this design that are on the market have drawbacks, however. Because of the technology known and used for this design, ideal extension behavior is not perceptible, and, owing to this, optimum efficiency is also not achieved. Another significant drawback is the limited pull length and the thus limited sequence of movement. With the resistances, different degrees of difficulty can be selected, but it is not possible to load the extremities and their muscular system independently of one another, e.g., left and right arms at the same time, or else upper and lower extremities, with varying degrees of difficulty. Almost all devices with elastic resistances are constructed for the purpose of being used as a resistance system of a monofunction fitness device (WO 2009/015039, U.S. 2008318740).

[0003] The drawbacks listed above of existing devices have been improved and corrected by the invention of a multifunction fitness device with a mechanical resistance holding system that is designed in one or two pieces, a mechanical drive-positioning system, and a mechanical carrier system for elastic resistances, and thus enhanced properties with higher efficiency have been provided for fitness enthusiasts.

[0004] In addition, the invention is distinguished by: [0005] Noise-free operation [0006] Extremely fine weight gradations possible [0007] Free and largest possible sequences of movement during training that are possible [0008] Speed training possible [0009] Suitable for children and for rehabilitation purposes [0010] Maintenance-free [0011] Maximum safety [0012] Simple operation [0013] Low individual weight [0014] Minimum necessary space [0015] Small design

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0016] The invention relates to a multifunction fitness device for elastic resistances. The purpose of the invention is to offer to the user, by a new technology, expanded options for configuring sequences of movement in such a way that the latter come as close as possible to a human's natural sequence of movement. The objectives are the improvement, recovery, and stabilization of health and fitness. The invention makes possible the best possible training results for the user by the simplest operation relative to a well-balanced overall body training simultaneously with maximum economy of time. Technology entails the highest possible safety, freedom from wear and tear, small design, and the least amount of maintenance. The comfort of training is maximized by the selection of the extremely finely nuanced elastic resistance materials, free movement development (three-dimensional training), as well as noise-free operation.

[0017] The combination with a mechanical resistance holding system that is designed in one or two pieces in each case, a mechanical drive-positioning system, and a mechanical carrier system for elastic resistances incorporated into a holding structure with a lifting block system represent the focus of the invention.

[0018] The holding structure consists of four shaped pipes and one guide pipe, which are connected to one another by means of mounting plates. The mechanical parts of the mechanical resistance holding system, the mechanical drive-positioning system, and the mechanical carrier system are connected to the mounting plates. Two mechanical resistance holding system parts equipped with elastic resistance materials, which are designed as rotating mechanisms or disk elements, bring the resistance elements into the desired position by operation of the mechanical drive-positioning system. The mechanical resistance holding system parts with the elastic resistance materials are mechanically operated depending on the model or are equipped with electronics (control and switching unit) and an electric motor, which serves as a drive.

[0019] In the embodiment as a rotating mechanism, the upper and lower parts of the resistance mechanical units consist of metal or plastic disks, which are vertically connected to one another by means of a shaft. From the latter, angular gears lead to the switching unit. The resistance is produced by means of elastic materials. The adjustment of the resistance is done by means of the unlocking pin and the adjustment selector switch. In the variant as a disk mechanism, the upper and lower parts of the mechanical resistance holding system are angular sections with disk elements that serve to accommodate the elastic resistance materials. Adjustment is done here via an unlocking angular rod and the adjustment selector switch with a magnetic mechanism and a spring mechanism. A lifting block system, consisting of 16 rollers, is responsible for guiding the rope and transferring force. The resistance materials are expanded by the resistance carrier mechanism part, which consists of a carrier part and a guide slot and which slides along on guide pipes. In the electronic embodiment, adjustment is done via the electronic control and switching unit, and the drive via an electric motor. A fifth shaped pipe serves as a guide bar and for accommodating an infinitely height-adjustable caster wheel mechanism. The latter is equipped with caster wheels, in which the ropes for the transfer of resistance run. At the ends of the ropes, devices such as handles, loops, etc., are attached by means of a coupling device (carabiner, etc.). By pulling on the ropes by means of muscular strength, energy is released; this produces the training effect, which has the purpose of improving athletic-motor conditional capabilities in general.

[0020] Two stabilization weights, which are screwed with the upper mounting plate and prevent the device from tilting, are part of the multifunction fitness device.

NUMBERED DESCRIPTION

Holding Structure (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

[0044] The holding structure consists of 4 shaped pipes (1), one upper mounting plate (3), middle mounting plate (5), and lower mounting plate (4), and a gear holding device (6). A guide bar (2) is attached on the front side between the upper mounting plate (3) and the lower mounting plate (4). This guide bar is secured by the upper positioning plate (7) and the lower positioning plate (13) before rotation. A stopper (11) is located on the inside of the guide bar (2), approximately 10 cm below the upper mounting plate (3) and also approximately 10 cm above the lower mounting plate (4). The shaped pipes (1) are screwed with the mounting plates and the gear holding device (3, 4, 5, 6).

Mechanical Weight Resistance Holding System (14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20) that is Designed in One or Two Pieces

[0045] The mechanical weight resistance holding system (14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20) that is designed in one or two pieces is designed as a rotating mechanism or as a disk mechanism. In the rotating mechanism, the resistance holding unit consists of two drum rotating mechanisms that are to be operated independently of one another, consisting of upper and lower rotary disks (20 and 14). The two disks (20 and 14) are manufactured from metal or other materials. In the upper disks, recesses are milled on the outer edge, and said recesses serve to position the spring mechanism (34, 35, 36), which is fastened on the outer left and right sides from below to the middle mounting plate (5) of the holding structure. In addition, the upper disks have holes in the outer region and the lower disks have partial holes, which serve to accommodate the coupling elements and the coupling sockets with the resistance materials. The disks are connected to one another with the vertical connecting shaft (19) in such a way that they are kept from rotating by the vertical connecting shaft being inserted into a notch that is located in the middle of the disk. The mechanical weight resistance holding system is mounted vertically on the middle and lower mounting plates (5 and 4) of the holding structure. The mechanical weight resistance holding system is clad in a cover (17), (64).

[0046] In the variant with the disk mechanism, the upper and lower parts of the mechanical weight resistance holding system are angular sections (59, 60), which serve to accommodate the elastic resistance materials (15) and which slide on rail elements (61). A part of the rail elements is connected together with the angular sections on one side, and the other part is fastened to the underside of the middle mounting plate (52) and on the top side of the lower mounting plate (50). The upper angular section (59) and the lower angular section (60) are connected by means of a U-section holding structure (56). To adjust the elastic resistance materials and the drive of the rail elements, roller holding devices (8) with rollers are fastened to the underside of the middle mounting plate of the holding structure. A drive rope (62) runs over these rollers. The drive rope is clamped in a rope fastening block (63), which is fastened to the angular sections (59, 60). The angular sections are provided with holes, in which the pins of the spring mechanism (34) engage. Also, holes that serve to accommodate the coupling elements (18) are on the angular sections (59, 60). The mechanical weight resistance holding system of the disk variants is lined with a cover (64).

Mechanical Drive-Positioning System

[0047] The mechanical drive-positioning system consists of an angular gear unit, a switching and adjusting mechanism, and an unlocking and locking unit.

[0048] The unlocking unit (34, 35a, 35b, 36) consists of the spring holding device (34), the unlocking-spring mechanism (35b), the unlocking pin (35a), and the unlocking knob (36).

[0049] The spring mechanism (34, 35a, 35b, 36) engages in the outer recesses of the upper rotary disks (20), and is used for precisely accurate setting and adjustment of the mechanical weight resistance holding system. The mechanical weight resistance holding system can be rotated in both directions by means of a switching unit (26, 27) in such a way as to adjust the respective weight resistances. Since the mechanical weight resistance holding system consists of two separate units that are arranged and operated beside one another or else behind one another, which thus operate independently of one another, it is possible to adjust varying loads. With the disk mechanism, the adjustment is also done with the switching unit (26, 27) and an unlocking angular rod with a magnet (54) and a spring mechanism (34). The angular rod (54) is fastened between U-shaped sections (57). These U-shaped sections sit on a fastening block (55), which is attached to the top side of the middle mounting plate (52) of the holding structure. An unlocking knob (36) is mounted on the outside of the unlocking angular rod (54).

[0050] Holes that serve to accommodate the coupling elements (18) and coupling sockets (16) with the elastic resistance materials (15) in various thicknesses are in the upper and lower rotating disks and the angular sections with the disk elements. The coupling elements consist of plastic and have a hole in the center thereof. The elastic resistance materials (15) are drawn into the coupling element (18) and the coupling socket and are secured with a ball against slipping out from inside. To make possible a different adjustment of the various resistances, a gear holding device (6), to which an angular gear (24a, 24b) is attached, is screwed above the middle mounting plate (5) of the holding structure between the holding structures. From there, a shaft (25) runs horizontally to the switching unit (26, 27). The rod is inserted into the switch and secured with a splint. Another shaft runs vertically from the angular gear to the middle mounting plate (5) of the holding structure where it is connected to the vertical connecting shaft (19) of the rotating disk (20) by means of connecting sleeves (38). A rotating locking disk (22) is incorporated in the vertical connecting shaft (19) above the medium mounting plate (5) of the holding structure. The locking disk (22) produces a locking unit with the locking pin (23) to preclude operator errors. With the disk mechanism, the rod runs from the upper angular gear (24a) vertically to the lower angular gear (24b). A shaft then runs horizontally to the drive rollers (58). Between the holding structure, a short gear holding device (53) is fastened to whose top side the angular gear and a mounting bracket are attached, which bracket serves as support for the drive shaft (25) of the switching unit (26, 27).

Switching/Adjusting Mechanism

[0051] The switching and adjusting mechanism consists of the switching unit (21, 24, 25, 26, 27) and the unlocking unit (34, 35, 36).

[0052] The switching unit consists of the angular gear (24a, 24b), the horizontal adjustment selector switch-connecting shaft (25), the vertical gear shaft (21), and the adjustment selector switch (26, 27), which consists of the adjustment selector switch (27) and the adjustment selector switch-scaling disk (26).

[0053] The adjusting switches serve to adjust the weight-loading to individual needs. They are made of metal or plastic, etc. The switching unit consists of two parts, the actual switch (27), and an outside ring (26) with markings that indicate the selected resistance. A second variant of the outside ring contains notches, which are illuminated from the rear. Below these adjustment switches (26, 27), there is a spring mechanism, consisting of (34), (35), and (36). To select the resistance, the unlocking pin (35) is first pulled out, and then the adjustment selector switch (27) is rotated to the desired position. To eliminate operating errors, a mounting bracket (28), an attachment locking disk (29), and an electromagnetic locking pin (30) are fastened to the gear holding device (6). The mounting bracket (28), which serves as a base, and the locking disk (29) have a hole in the middle through which the adjustment selector switch-connecting shaft (25) runs. The electromagnetic locking pin (30) is connected to the magnetic switch (37), which is fastened near the mechanical carrier system on the top side of the middle mounting plate of the holding structure. Another variant of the locking mechanism is if the locking magnet is incorporated with the locking pins in the spring holding device (34) directly below the spring mechanism.

[0054] In the design with electronics and motor, a motor-gear unit (46) is attached between a lower mounting plate (4) of the holding structure and a lower rotary disk (14), or above the middle mounting plate (5) of the holding structure. This unit serves to automatically adjust the desired elastic resistance materials. To control the motor and to adjust the elastic resistance materials, an adjustment electronic system (47) is fastened to the holding structure on the left and the right. In the disk variant, the motor-gear unit is attached above the middle mounting plate (52) of the holding structure.

Mechanical Carrier System (Resistance-Absorbing and -Carrying System (31, 32))

[0055] The weight-absorbing and -carrying system (31, 32) consists of the guide slot with metal core (31) and the carrier part (32). The carrier part is connected to the guide slot horizontally in a cross through a recess. To guide and to adjust the guide slots exactly, two guide pipes (12) are provided with pushed-over magnets, which are fastened between the upper mounting plate (3) and the middle mounting plate (5) of the holding structure. A stopping mechanism, called a locking pin (23), is attached to the carrier part (32). Recesses, through which the weight-absorbing and--carrying system is run, are in the rear part of the middle mounting plate (5). To provide damping, rubber-spacing sleeves are pushed over the guide pipes (12).

[0056] By rotating or by pushing the mechanical weight resistance holding system, the coupling elements (18) with the elastic resistance materials (15) are brought into the position of the weight-absorbing and-carrying system. Guide slots and carrier parts are manufactured from metal or plastic and appear as follows: The carrier part (32) has a notch to accommodate the coupling element with the elastic resistance materials. The recesses are milled as a reference to ensure an exact accommodation of the coupling element. The guide slot (31) has two holes for the two guide pipes (12). On the top side of the guide slot, there is a roller holding device (8) in which a deflecting roller (10) is mounted. The deflecting roller is connected to a horizontal shaft with the aluminum U-shaped section. In the lower part, there is a U-shaped recess, in which the carrier part sits. Both parts of the weight-absorbing and--carrying system are pulled upward by means of a pull rope. Below the carrier part, there are holes with metal pins to support the magnetic action in the guide pipes (2).

Pull Rope/Lifting Block System

[0057] Overall, the pull rope/lifting block system consists of 16 identical rollers (10) and their roller holding devices (8). On the lower mounting plate (4) of the holding structure, two roller holding devices (8), in which two rope pulleys (10) are fastened, are positioned obliquely in the front region. On the upper mounting plate (3) of the holding structure, two roller holding devices (8), between which three rope pulleys each are mounted, are attached obliquely in the rear region. Stopper (11) is fastened in the rear, lower part between the roller holding devices (8). In the front part of the upper mounting plate (3) of the holding structure, two roller holding devices (8), in which one rope pulley (10) sits in each case, are also attached obliquely. Roller holding devices (8) that are equipped with rope deflecting pulleys (10) are embedded in the guide slots (31). The guide rope (43), which in an edge section on the rear side of the mechanical roller adjustment system, the rope clamp section (42) is clamped, runs over the rope pulleys. Devices such as handles, loops, etc., are attached by means of a coupling device (carabiner, etc.) to the ends of the ropes. A rubber ball is fastened between the carabiner and the rope clamp.

Mechanical Roller Adjustment System

[0058] A guide bar (2) with the basic holding structure is screwed onto the upper mounting plate (3) and the lower mounting plate (4) of the holding structure for individual height adjustment. The positioning plates (7 and 13) are used for positioning. A roller adjustment mechanism (39), which is equipped with an adjusting knob (40), is pushed over this guide bar (2). Two vertically mounted, pivoting roller holding devices (41) are attached to the rope guide on this roller adjustment mechanism (39). These two pivoting roller holding devices are equipped with two rollers (10) each. The roller adjustment mechanism (39) consists of metal or plastic. On the rear side of the roller adjustment mechanism, there is a rope clamp section (42), which is provided with two holes, in which the guide rope (43) is clamped. The adjusting knob (40) has a wide plastic part, the pressure distributor plate, on the inside, which plate makes possible a better pressure distribution. The mechanical roller adjustment system can also be designed as a double-guided mechanical roller adjustment system.

Force Measuring Station

[0059] To measure the force transferred by pulling the elastic resistance materials, two spring balances or resistance strain gauges (44) are attached between the rope clamp section (42) and the guide rope (43) as a force measuring station. The display is indicated by the external display of the force measuring station (45). The transfer is carried out by radio or via a cable connection between the spring balance (44) and the display (45).
