A ski exerciser used for simulating the motions required in cross-country skiing on which a skier can practice and exercise under conditions substantially similar conditions to those encountered during cross-country skiing.
Description
~ O 7~9 ~
The present invention relates to exercisers and simulators used for simulating the motions used during cross-country skiing.
In the prior art there are quite a large number of downhill skiing simulators or exercisers that are used by skiers during the off-season for get~ing in shape and also for practicing skiing techniques.
For example, United States Patent No. 3,711,089, Issued January, 1973 to Reinhard discloses a ski simulator that used a belt mounted over rollers, and in ~igure 5 through 9 of that patent, rollers which are not powered are shown.
However, the action is different from that shown in the present device.
The p~sent device does use a flywheel, and flywheels are shown in exercising devices, for example, in United States Patent No. 2,274,081, Issued June, 1941 to Mautin where a fly-wheel is used to store energy, and also in Patent No.
3,554,541, Issued January, 1971 to ~eaman, a flywheel is disclosed.
United States Patent No. 3,941,377, Issued March, 1976 to Lie also shows a simulator ski exerciser.
The present invention relates to a simulator device or exerciser that simulates the motions encountered in cross-country skiing and permits a skier to use the device for exer-cising under simulated cross-country skiing conditions. The device includes a framework that is large enough to accommodate a person wearing cross-country skis, and the skis in turn are supported on individual drive means that have one-way drive means so that they will free wheel in one direction and will ~07 79 ~ ~
drive an energy storage device when moved in the opposite direction. In the form disclosed the energy storage device comprises a flywheel that has a brake band engaging its sur-face to dissipate energy as heat. The one-way drive means comprise one-way clutches, as shown driving a shaft by motion of the skis. In cross-country skiing, as opposed to downhill skiing, the skis are used for propulsion over the ground, and resistance to rearward movement of each leg permits the skier to move the other ski forward. Thus, in the device shown, on the backward thrust of each leg an individual roller driven by that ski will drive the energy storage unit in accordance with the amount of force provided by the person using the exerciser.
Then, when that leg is moved forward, the roller will free wheel with little or no drag, just as is done when a cross-country skier moves a ski forward.
Restraint means are provided for restraining the movement of the skier relative to the frame so that the exer-ciser comprises an in-place exercising unit. In addition, for use with the exerciser, cross-country ski poles ha~ng rotatable discs or wheels at the lower end are used, and the discs are frictionally mounted to simulate, also, resistance of the snow encountered during skiing~
Sui~able supports are provided on the framework for stability, and if desired, a speedometer can be driven to indicate the speed with which the skier is moving. The energy absorbing device comprising a brake member and a flywheel in this form of the invention, can be adjusted to regulate the force required during operation so that different conditions can be simulated, such as, for example, simulating skiing on level, and simulating skiing going up a hill.
The device is manufactured out of standar~ existing mechanical components arranged in such a way that the simula-tion of cross-country skiing is accomplished easily, and fairly exactly. The restraint for the skier is shown as a forward restraint again~ which the skier leans, but it also can be a restraint such as a belt which was fastened to a wall or other support to the rear of the skier.

Figure 7 is a fragmentary side view of the lower portion of the ski pole illustrated in Figure l; and Figure 8 is a sectional view taken as on line 8--8 of Figure 7.
Referring to the drawings, the ski exerciser illus-trated generally at 10 includes a main frame 11. The frame 11 is made up of `iateral side members 12,12 which extend in a fore and aft direction, and are spaced apart a sufficient distance 1al77988 to approxima~e the space required for a normal skiing path for a cross-country skier. The frame members 12,12 are held to-gether with a front cross piece 13, and a rear cross piece 14.
A longitudinally extending central support assembly 15 may also be provided and the assembly 15 connects between the cross pieces 13 and 14.
There are lateral supports 12A on opposite sides of the frame to provide surfaces for supporting the ends of the ski poles used, as will be explained.
The center assembly 15 is made so that it leaves laterally spaced tracks on opposite sides thereof and be~-een the center member and the side frame members 12,12.
As shown, the front and rear supports 13 and 1~ are both recessed or notched, as perhaps best seen in Figure 3, and these recesses indicated in Figures 3 and 4 at 13A, 13B
and at 14A and 14B are used for rotatably mounting front idler rollers 16A and 16B, and rear idler rollers 17A and 17B.
These rollers 16 and 17 are idlers that may be covered with suitable elastomeric or soft plastic matffial that gives a reasonably high coefficient of friction, and re-duces noise of skis that might be run over them.
In approximately the center of the frame in a longitudinal direction, there is a cross shaft 20 rotatably mounted between the side members 12,12. The shaft 20 may be supported with respect to the center assembly 15, but is below the top plane thereof. This cross shaft 20 has a fly~heel member 21 drivably mounted thereon with a suitable key, and on opposite sides of the center member 15, there are drive roller assemblies 22A and 22B, respectively, mounted to the shaft 20.
The roller assemblies 22 are connected to the shaft 20 through one-way clutches which are illustrated only schematically at 23A amd 23B. The one-way clutches can be any desired type of on~e-way clutch which permits the rollers to drive the shaft 20, individually, but only when the rollers are driven in one direction. As shown, when the one-way clutches are installed so thatwhen the rollers are driven in a counter-clockwise direction as viewed in Figures 1, 5 and 6, the individual rollers 22A and 22B will tend to drive the shaft 20 in such counter-clockwise direction. However, when the rollers are moved in clockwise direction as viewed in these figures, the rollers will free wheel and not drive the shaft. Thus, the one-way clutches 23A and 23B provide free wheeling action when the rollers are moved clockwise. Other suitable one-way drive means can be utilized if desired, but the commercially available clutches make a convenient assembly.
The upper part of flywheel 21 extends upwardly through a provided opening 24 in the center support member 15, and it should be noted that the upper edges of the rollers 22A and 22B
are generally along the same plane as the corresponding rollers 16A and 17A, and 16B and 17B, respectivelyO This can be perhaps best seen in Figure 5. The rollers 22A and 22B may be covered with suitable noise reducing, high friction elastomeric material, or other suitable material.
The center support member 15 also is used for mounting an upright pedestal illustrated generally at 25~ The pedestal 25 comprises a box-like structure having upright side support members, and fore and aft members enclosing it. This pedestal is used to provide a restraint for the skier who is illustrated ~ o779~8 generally at 26. The skier restraint, in this form of the invention, is th~gh a vertically adjustable foam cushion pad 27 that is adjustably mounted to the rear wall of the upright membe:r 25 through the use of the slots in the walls of the up-right member and in a bracket 28 that is attached to the foam pad 27. Suitable adjustment screws 32 can be provided for adjusting the bracket 28 relative to the pedestal 25.
The pedestal 25 is hollow, as shown in Figure 6, and on the interior of the pedestal 25 a hand screw indicated at 33 is mounted at the top, and is threadably mounted through a nut 34 that is attached to the top of the pedestal. The hand screw in turn controls a cable 35 acting through a spring 36 which in turn is connected to another cable 37 that is attached to a leg 38A of a bell crank 38 that is pivotally mounted to a block 39 at the lower portion of the pedestal 25. The bell crank 38 has a sec~ leg 38B that has one end of a flexible brake band 42 pivotally connected thereto. The brake band 42 passes around the periphery of the flywheel 21, as shown perhaps best in Figure 6, and is anchored back at a fixed anchor point comprising an ear 43 that is attached to the pedestal 25 below the center member 15.
It can be seen that any force exerted through the spring 36 on the bell crank 38 will tend to tighten the flexible brake band 42 against the flywheel and tend to increase the friction drag on the flywheel.
Additionally, a gear unit indicated generally at 44, and of suitable design, can be mounted to be driven by a gear on the shaft 20 to drive a speedometer cable 45 which drives a speedometer-odometer indicator 46 calibrated to show speed of the movement of the skier, as well as the total simulated miles that have been skied.
When the exerciser is to be used, the skier 26 will put on a pair of cross-country s~is indicated at 46A and 46B.
Suitable bindings 47 will be used, and these will be the normal cross-country bindings. Also, the skier can use boots 48 of normal design. The skier will then place the skis in position so that ski 46A is resting on rollers 16A, 22A, and 17A, and ski 46B is resting on rollers 16B~ 17B and 22B.
The skier then will use a pair of ski poles for stability. These ski poles are illustrated generally at 50, and are supported by lateE~ supports 12A. The skier will rest against the foam block 27, or other suitable restraint that might be p~ovided, such as a belt anchored to the wall of a building in which the simulator can be used, and will just commencing moving his feet in much the same manner as is done in skiing. It can be seen that when the ski is thrust to the rear, for example, ski 46A, which has been moved rearwardly in Figure 1, the ski bottom will engage the surface of the roller 22A and because the roller will then tend to be driven in counter-clockwise direction, the one-way clutch 23~ will drive the shaft 20c This will tend to rotate flywheel 21, storing the energy that is expended by the rearward movement of the skier's leg, and any movement of course will be resisted by the friction between the brake band 42 and the outer surface of the flywheel. Then, the skier will move the opposite or left leg rearwardly, while the right leg is moved forwardly. The movement forwardly will cause the roller 22A to free wheel, much as is done during skiing operation, while the left leg will tend ~ o77988 to drive roller 22B in counter-clockwise direction thereby acting through the one-way clutch 23B to drive the shaft 20 further. The free wheeling action will require that the skier move the legs to rotate rollers 22 faster than shaft 20 before the rollers will drive the shaft.
The operation is merely continued, and the amount of force or energy expended tending to rotate the flywheel can be changed by adjusting the hand wheel 33 to increase the drag (or decrease the drag) of the brake band 42 through the operation of the bell crank 38.
When skiing cross-country, ski poles are used for stability and also for added thrust. In the present device, the simulation of the use of the ski poles is desired, and in the form shown, the ski poles 50 a~ ~ade in a special way. The ski poles have handles 52 of conventional design on the ski pole shafts 53, that are of the desired length for the user, and at the lower end of the shaft 53, a notched or toothed disc 54 is rotatably mounted onto a bolt 55 that passes through the shaft, and through a support disc 56, as well as through a friction disc 57. By tightening the bolt 55 through the use of a wing nut 55A, the amount of friction resisting rotation of the disc or wheel 54 can be changed. The disc 54 will be ad-justed so that the frict~nal force will simulate the resistance encountered in normal snow conditions, and can ~ changed if desired to closely approximate the forces encountered during cross-country skiing. The disc 5~ can be of any suitable material. The supports 12A are generally covered with carpeting to provide a suitable poling surface.
The platform 12A on each side of the frame can be eliminated if the ski poles are lengthened sufficiently so that they wi~l run on the floor 51.
The exerciser provides means for exercising both arms and legs, when used with the provided poles. Complete exercise is achieved, and because it closely simulates actual conditions cross-country racers can use it to stay in shape in period of no snow.
The flywheel can be eliminated if a suitable friction -device or other energy dissipation device is provided instead of the flywheel. ~or satisfactory operation there should be means to exert a desired amount of resistance for simulated skiing when the skis are moved in one direction.
_g_ .
The present invention relates to exercisers and simulators used for simulating the motions used during cross-country skiing.
In the prior art there are quite a large number of downhill skiing simulators or exercisers that are used by skiers during the off-season for get~ing in shape and also for practicing skiing techniques.
For example, United States Patent No. 3,711,089, Issued January, 1973 to Reinhard discloses a ski simulator that used a belt mounted over rollers, and in ~igure 5 through 9 of that patent, rollers which are not powered are shown.
However, the action is different from that shown in the present device.
The p~sent device does use a flywheel, and flywheels are shown in exercising devices, for example, in United States Patent No. 2,274,081, Issued June, 1941 to Mautin where a fly-wheel is used to store energy, and also in Patent No.
3,554,541, Issued January, 1971 to ~eaman, a flywheel is disclosed.
United States Patent No. 3,941,377, Issued March, 1976 to Lie also shows a simulator ski exerciser.
The present invention relates to a simulator device or exerciser that simulates the motions encountered in cross-country skiing and permits a skier to use the device for exer-cising under simulated cross-country skiing conditions. The device includes a framework that is large enough to accommodate a person wearing cross-country skis, and the skis in turn are supported on individual drive means that have one-way drive means so that they will free wheel in one direction and will ~07 79 ~ ~
drive an energy storage device when moved in the opposite direction. In the form disclosed the energy storage device comprises a flywheel that has a brake band engaging its sur-face to dissipate energy as heat. The one-way drive means comprise one-way clutches, as shown driving a shaft by motion of the skis. In cross-country skiing, as opposed to downhill skiing, the skis are used for propulsion over the ground, and resistance to rearward movement of each leg permits the skier to move the other ski forward. Thus, in the device shown, on the backward thrust of each leg an individual roller driven by that ski will drive the energy storage unit in accordance with the amount of force provided by the person using the exerciser.
Then, when that leg is moved forward, the roller will free wheel with little or no drag, just as is done when a cross-country skier moves a ski forward.
Restraint means are provided for restraining the movement of the skier relative to the frame so that the exer-ciser comprises an in-place exercising unit. In addition, for use with the exerciser, cross-country ski poles ha~ng rotatable discs or wheels at the lower end are used, and the discs are frictionally mounted to simulate, also, resistance of the snow encountered during skiing~
Sui~able supports are provided on the framework for stability, and if desired, a speedometer can be driven to indicate the speed with which the skier is moving. The energy absorbing device comprising a brake member and a flywheel in this form of the invention, can be adjusted to regulate the force required during operation so that different conditions can be simulated, such as, for example, simulating skiing on level, and simulating skiing going up a hill.
The device is manufactured out of standar~ existing mechanical components arranged in such a way that the simula-tion of cross-country skiing is accomplished easily, and fairly exactly. The restraint for the skier is shown as a forward restraint again~ which the skier leans, but it also can be a restraint such as a belt which was fastened to a wall or other support to the rear of the skier.

Figure 7 is a fragmentary side view of the lower portion of the ski pole illustrated in Figure l; and Figure 8 is a sectional view taken as on line 8--8 of Figure 7.
Referring to the drawings, the ski exerciser illus-trated generally at 10 includes a main frame 11. The frame 11 is made up of `iateral side members 12,12 which extend in a fore and aft direction, and are spaced apart a sufficient distance 1al77988 to approxima~e the space required for a normal skiing path for a cross-country skier. The frame members 12,12 are held to-gether with a front cross piece 13, and a rear cross piece 14.
A longitudinally extending central support assembly 15 may also be provided and the assembly 15 connects between the cross pieces 13 and 14.
There are lateral supports 12A on opposite sides of the frame to provide surfaces for supporting the ends of the ski poles used, as will be explained.
The center assembly 15 is made so that it leaves laterally spaced tracks on opposite sides thereof and be~-een the center member and the side frame members 12,12.
As shown, the front and rear supports 13 and 1~ are both recessed or notched, as perhaps best seen in Figure 3, and these recesses indicated in Figures 3 and 4 at 13A, 13B
and at 14A and 14B are used for rotatably mounting front idler rollers 16A and 16B, and rear idler rollers 17A and 17B.
These rollers 16 and 17 are idlers that may be covered with suitable elastomeric or soft plastic matffial that gives a reasonably high coefficient of friction, and re-duces noise of skis that might be run over them.
In approximately the center of the frame in a longitudinal direction, there is a cross shaft 20 rotatably mounted between the side members 12,12. The shaft 20 may be supported with respect to the center assembly 15, but is below the top plane thereof. This cross shaft 20 has a fly~heel member 21 drivably mounted thereon with a suitable key, and on opposite sides of the center member 15, there are drive roller assemblies 22A and 22B, respectively, mounted to the shaft 20.
The roller assemblies 22 are connected to the shaft 20 through one-way clutches which are illustrated only schematically at 23A amd 23B. The one-way clutches can be any desired type of on~e-way clutch which permits the rollers to drive the shaft 20, individually, but only when the rollers are driven in one direction. As shown, when the one-way clutches are installed so thatwhen the rollers are driven in a counter-clockwise direction as viewed in Figures 1, 5 and 6, the individual rollers 22A and 22B will tend to drive the shaft 20 in such counter-clockwise direction. However, when the rollers are moved in clockwise direction as viewed in these figures, the rollers will free wheel and not drive the shaft. Thus, the one-way clutches 23A and 23B provide free wheeling action when the rollers are moved clockwise. Other suitable one-way drive means can be utilized if desired, but the commercially available clutches make a convenient assembly.
The upper part of flywheel 21 extends upwardly through a provided opening 24 in the center support member 15, and it should be noted that the upper edges of the rollers 22A and 22B
are generally along the same plane as the corresponding rollers 16A and 17A, and 16B and 17B, respectivelyO This can be perhaps best seen in Figure 5. The rollers 22A and 22B may be covered with suitable noise reducing, high friction elastomeric material, or other suitable material.
The center support member 15 also is used for mounting an upright pedestal illustrated generally at 25~ The pedestal 25 comprises a box-like structure having upright side support members, and fore and aft members enclosing it. This pedestal is used to provide a restraint for the skier who is illustrated ~ o779~8 generally at 26. The skier restraint, in this form of the invention, is th~gh a vertically adjustable foam cushion pad 27 that is adjustably mounted to the rear wall of the upright membe:r 25 through the use of the slots in the walls of the up-right member and in a bracket 28 that is attached to the foam pad 27. Suitable adjustment screws 32 can be provided for adjusting the bracket 28 relative to the pedestal 25.
The pedestal 25 is hollow, as shown in Figure 6, and on the interior of the pedestal 25 a hand screw indicated at 33 is mounted at the top, and is threadably mounted through a nut 34 that is attached to the top of the pedestal. The hand screw in turn controls a cable 35 acting through a spring 36 which in turn is connected to another cable 37 that is attached to a leg 38A of a bell crank 38 that is pivotally mounted to a block 39 at the lower portion of the pedestal 25. The bell crank 38 has a sec~ leg 38B that has one end of a flexible brake band 42 pivotally connected thereto. The brake band 42 passes around the periphery of the flywheel 21, as shown perhaps best in Figure 6, and is anchored back at a fixed anchor point comprising an ear 43 that is attached to the pedestal 25 below the center member 15.
It can be seen that any force exerted through the spring 36 on the bell crank 38 will tend to tighten the flexible brake band 42 against the flywheel and tend to increase the friction drag on the flywheel.
Additionally, a gear unit indicated generally at 44, and of suitable design, can be mounted to be driven by a gear on the shaft 20 to drive a speedometer cable 45 which drives a speedometer-odometer indicator 46 calibrated to show speed of the movement of the skier, as well as the total simulated miles that have been skied.
When the exerciser is to be used, the skier 26 will put on a pair of cross-country s~is indicated at 46A and 46B.
Suitable bindings 47 will be used, and these will be the normal cross-country bindings. Also, the skier can use boots 48 of normal design. The skier will then place the skis in position so that ski 46A is resting on rollers 16A, 22A, and 17A, and ski 46B is resting on rollers 16B~ 17B and 22B.
The skier then will use a pair of ski poles for stability. These ski poles are illustrated generally at 50, and are supported by lateE~ supports 12A. The skier will rest against the foam block 27, or other suitable restraint that might be p~ovided, such as a belt anchored to the wall of a building in which the simulator can be used, and will just commencing moving his feet in much the same manner as is done in skiing. It can be seen that when the ski is thrust to the rear, for example, ski 46A, which has been moved rearwardly in Figure 1, the ski bottom will engage the surface of the roller 22A and because the roller will then tend to be driven in counter-clockwise direction, the one-way clutch 23~ will drive the shaft 20c This will tend to rotate flywheel 21, storing the energy that is expended by the rearward movement of the skier's leg, and any movement of course will be resisted by the friction between the brake band 42 and the outer surface of the flywheel. Then, the skier will move the opposite or left leg rearwardly, while the right leg is moved forwardly. The movement forwardly will cause the roller 22A to free wheel, much as is done during skiing operation, while the left leg will tend ~ o77988 to drive roller 22B in counter-clockwise direction thereby acting through the one-way clutch 23B to drive the shaft 20 further. The free wheeling action will require that the skier move the legs to rotate rollers 22 faster than shaft 20 before the rollers will drive the shaft.
The operation is merely continued, and the amount of force or energy expended tending to rotate the flywheel can be changed by adjusting the hand wheel 33 to increase the drag (or decrease the drag) of the brake band 42 through the operation of the bell crank 38.
When skiing cross-country, ski poles are used for stability and also for added thrust. In the present device, the simulation of the use of the ski poles is desired, and in the form shown, the ski poles 50 a~ ~ade in a special way. The ski poles have handles 52 of conventional design on the ski pole shafts 53, that are of the desired length for the user, and at the lower end of the shaft 53, a notched or toothed disc 54 is rotatably mounted onto a bolt 55 that passes through the shaft, and through a support disc 56, as well as through a friction disc 57. By tightening the bolt 55 through the use of a wing nut 55A, the amount of friction resisting rotation of the disc or wheel 54 can be changed. The disc 54 will be ad-justed so that the frict~nal force will simulate the resistance encountered in normal snow conditions, and can ~ changed if desired to closely approximate the forces encountered during cross-country skiing. The disc 5~ can be of any suitable material. The supports 12A are generally covered with carpeting to provide a suitable poling surface.
The platform 12A on each side of the frame can be eliminated if the ski poles are lengthened sufficiently so that they wi~l run on the floor 51.
The exerciser provides means for exercising both arms and legs, when used with the provided poles. Complete exercise is achieved, and because it closely simulates actual conditions cross-country racers can use it to stay in shape in period of no snow.
The flywheel can be eliminated if a suitable friction -device or other energy dissipation device is provided instead of the flywheel. ~or satisfactory operation there should be means to exert a desired amount of resistance for simulated skiing when the skis are moved in one direction.
