Abstract

walking and running equipment as a guide to the arms Lifting and swinging, especially during fast walking, characterized in that a on the shoulder joints launched, symmetrical device consisting of rod (1), bendable Center piece (2), support pads (4), underarm loops (5), Drawbar points (6), draws (7), guy elements (8) and handles (11), adjusted, shaped and fixed so that the drawbar points (6) lie just outside the shoulder axis, the pad (4) lie on the shoulder joints adjusted, with armpit slings (5) as well as with anti-slip coating or with velcro are fixed and the height adjustment of the handles (11) by means of clamping elements (8), are infinitely jammed.

Description

The The invention relates to a walking and running equipment as a guide to the arms raising and swinging, especially during fast Walking.

Known walking and running equipment, ( US 4337 938 ) DE 37 08 567 C2 ) U.S. 4,993,705 ) US 7 147 590 B2 ), have cable guides for swinging the arms. If these devices are used in particular for rapid walking in the required manner, cause unfavorably placed Zugpendelpunkte inhibiting lateral tensile forces. The devices are also bulky for use and transportation.

task The present invention is a simple and lightweight Walking and running equipment as a guide to Poor lifting and swinging, especially during fast walking to accomplish. This is an arm oscillation laterally at the hips past, can be carried sideZugfrei. The device should rest on the shoulder joints with padding rest, while fixed and to various shoulder bends and Be adjusted sizes. The raising of the forearms should be made possible by height-adjustable handles become. The device should be dismountable and in a clothes bag can be transported.

According to the invention solves this problem by having an over the Shoulder axes extending, lightweight bar, with a bendable center piece and firmly connected cylindrically shaped support pads is used. The padding are by an anti-slip coating as well as by Achselschlingen fixed on the shoulder joints. The bar is to disassemble and for length adjustment with a sliding sleeve and equipped with a sleeve clamp. Trains are, starting from the Zugpendelpunkten, by guy elements, Grips and lower handle elements guided, with a loop returned to the guy elements and there attached. This provides a stepless comfortable handle height adjustment enabled with automatic deadlock.

With the invention is achieved that the trains due to the train pendulum points arranged outside the shoulder axis, can swing sideways. The shape and arrangement the cylindrical pad, which the rod in firmly connected Wrapping way gives the best possible Comfort and shapely design.

The Shoulder slings, made of highly elastic thin rubber cord, are created quickly regardless of clothing and allow that the fixation of the support pad made variable and individual can be. The integrated bendable centerpiece in the rod allows adaptation to different shoulder curvatures, so that the pad on the shoulder joints well laid can be. A slip-inhibiting coating or a Velcro closure ensure a slip-proof Fixation of the pad.

A Embodiment of the invention provides that the rod length adapted to different shoulder sizes or the rod can also be disassembled with it. There are for this several execution options, eg. Legs Sliding sleeve with retractable rod end and a sleeve clamping.

With The invented leadership help is a reciprocal Swinging rhythm of the arms with the feet automatically by itself. The rhythmic swinging with raised forearms mobilize the endurance powers and help shoulder tension to avoid. Transfer the load in the trains on the cushions, the user can easily by own technique determine yourself.

The Setting different handle heights can be done by moving the guy elements on the trains, even while of use.

The Device can be taken out of service at any time. By fixing the rod on the shoulder joints can Device can be easily carried on without falling down. The handles can be hooked together to secure against the chest become. Due to the low weight is the wearing of the device light and imperceptible.

The Division of the rod is held together ausziehsicher and can be solved quickly by hand. Stowage and transport become very handy. The device in collapsed Shape easily fits into any bag.

An embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to the drawing 1 explains:
The walking and Running sports equipment is symmetrically formed and is equipped with a rod ( 1 ), Center piece ( 2 ), Sleeve clamps ( 3 ), Padding pads ( 4 ), Shoulder slings ( 5 ), Draw points ( 6 ), Trains ( 7 ), Guy elements ( 8th ), Safety hooks ( 9 ), lower handle elements ( 10 ) and handles ( 11 ).

The rod ( 1 ) is provided with enclosed, firmly connected and cylindrically shaped support pads ( 4 ) fitted. Connected to this are also fixed to the staff shoulder straps ( 5 ). In the middle of the rod ( 1 ) is the bendable middle piece ( 2 ) built-in.

To change the length and disassembly of the Staff ( 1 ) sliding sleeves are used, in which the rod ends are inserted and with the sleeve clamping ( 3 ) are jammed. At the outer ends of the rod ( 1 ) following the pad ( 4 ) are draw pendulum points ( 6 ) for the trains ( 7 ) appropriate.

Trains ( 7 ) are rotatable with a closed loop in the Zugpendelpunkten ( 6 ). Continuing are the trains ( 7 ) by guy elements ( 8th ), Handles ( 11 ) and lower handle elements ( 10 ), with loops to the guy elements ( 8th ) and fastened there with knots. This design allows the grip height of the handles ( 11 ) can be adjusted continuously and is automatically jammed.

For hooking in the trains ( 7 ) when the device is taken out of service, is above a handle ( 11 ) a safety hook ( 9 ) appropriate.
