Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Trainingsbank mit einer an einem Rahmen abgestützten Auflage, die in ein Sitzpolster und ein sich daran anschließendes Rückenpolster aufgeteilt ist, dessen Kopfbereich bzw. oberes Ende unterhalb von an zwei seitlichen senkrechten Stützen angeordneten Gewichten liegt, wobei das Rückenpolster an seinem unteren Ende um eine quer verlaufende waagerechte Schwenkachse aufschwenkbar gelagert ist.The invention relates to a training bench with a support supported on a frame, which is divided into a seat cushion and an adjoining back cushion, the head region or upper end of which is arranged below on two lateral vertical supports Weights lies, the back cushion being pivotally mounted at its lower end about a transverse horizontal pivot axis.

Mit einer solchen bekannten Trainingsbank lassen sich gymnastische Übungen wie Bank- oder Schrägbankdrücken durchführen. Der übende liegt mit dem Rücken auf dem Rückenpolster und kann mit den Händen beispielsweise Hanteln als Gewichte ergreifen und von den Stützen abnehmen. Zum Zweck des sogenannten Schrägbankdrückens wird das Rückenpolster in eine Schräglage gestellt und in dieser Lage befestigt. Dabei kann zur besseren Abstützung des übenden zumeist auch das Sitzpolster in eine gegenläufige Schräglage geneigt und darin festgelegt werden.With such a known training bench, gymnastic exercises such as bench or incline bench presses can be carried out. The practitioner lies with his back on the back cushion and can take dumbbells as weights with his hands and remove them from the supports. For the purpose of the so-called incline bench press, the back cushion is placed in an inclined position and fastened in this position. For better support of the practicing, the seat cushion can usually also be inclined in an opposing inclined position and fixed therein.

Die Schwenkachsen des Rückenpolsters und des Sitzpolsters sind bei der bekannten Trainingsbank in Bezug auf deren Rahmenteile fest angeordnet, so daß eine gleichbleibende Position der Schwenkachsen zu den Gewichtsablagen besteht. Daraus ergibt sich folgender wesentlicher Nachteil: Beim Aufschwenken des Rückenpolsters bewegt sich jeder Punkt des Rückenpolsters auf einem Kreisbogen. Der bei waagerechter Stellung des Rückenpolsters unter dem Gewicht befindliche Schulterbereich des Übenden bewegt sich bei dieser Kreisbewegung aus der senkrechten Ebene, in der sich das Gewicht befindet, heraus, so daß sich ein waagerechter Abstand von dem Schulterbereich zu der Hantelebene ergibt, der mit zunehmendem Schwenkwinkel größer wird. Bei extremer Schräglage von etwa 45° Neigung des Rückenpolsters befindet sich die senkrechte Ebene der Gewichtsanordnung und damit die Wirkungslinie des Gewichtes bereits hinter dem Kopf des übenden. Dadurch wird ein Abnehmen des Gewichts aus einer Ablage sehr erschwert.The pivot axes of the back cushion and the seat cushion are fixed in the known training bench with respect to the frame parts thereof, so that there is a constant position of the pivot axes to the weight racks. This results in the following major disadvantage: When the back cushion is swung open, each point of the back cushion moves on an arc. The shoulder area of the practitioner when the back cushion is in a horizontal position moves with this circular movement out of the vertical plane in which the weight is located, so that there is a horizontal distance from the shoulder area to the dumbbell level, which increases with the pivoting angle gets bigger. In the case of an extreme inclination of about 45 ° of the back cushion, the vertical plane of the weight arrangement and thus the Line of action of weight already behind the head of the exercising. This makes it very difficult to lose weight from a shelf.

Außerdem verringert sich bei zunehmender Schräglage des Rückenpolsters dessen Abstand und damit der Abstand des Kopfes des Übenden von einer Hantelstange o.dgl. derart, daß die als Gabelenden ausgebildeten Hantelablagen angehoben und in dieser höheren Stellung befestigt werden müssen, wodurch sich die Abnahme der Hantel noch ungünstiger gestaltet.In addition, with increasing inclination of the back cushion, the distance and thus the distance of the head of the practitioner from a barbell or the like decreases. in such a way that the barbell racks designed as fork ends have to be raised and fastened in this higher position, which makes the removal of the barbell even more unfavorable.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Trainingsbank zu schaffen, bei welcher der die Schultergelenkpartie abstützende Bereich des Rückenpolsters sich bei unterschiedlichen Neigungen des Rückenpolsters immer im Bereich der senkrechten Ebene der Gewichte und damit der Wirkungslinie der Gewichte befindet, so daß gewährleistet ist, daß bei jeder gewählten Schrägstellung etwa der gleiche Kraftaufwand zum Abnehmen beispielsweise einer Hantel als Gewicht erforderlich ist. Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Trainingsbank sollen das Rückenpolster und das Sitzpolster bei leichter Verschiebbarkeit am Geräterahmen eine besonders gute Seitenstabilität aufweisen, so daß auch bei Gewichtsverlagerungen des Ubenden in Querrichtung die oberen Polsteroberflächen sich in den vorgesehenen Ebenen, nämlich in der Waagerechten bzw. in den nur in Längsrichtung geneigten Ebenen befindet.The invention has for its object to provide a training bench in which the area of the back cushion supporting the shoulder joint area is always in the range of the vertical plane of the weights and thus the line of action of the weights with different inclinations of the back cushion, so that it is ensured that at Each selected inclination requires approximately the same amount of force to remove, for example, a dumbbell as a weight. In the training bench according to the invention, the back cushion and the seat cushion should have particularly good lateral stability with easy displacement on the device frame, so that even when the weight is shifted in the transverse direction, the upper cushion surfaces are in the intended planes, namely in the horizontal or only in the longitudinal direction inclined planes.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Schwenkachse des Rückenpolsters an einer Brücke mittels an zwei parallelen Längsholmen des Rahmens verschiebbar gelagerten Hülsen gehalten sind.This object is achieved in that the pivot axis of the back cushion ver on a bridge by means of two parallel longitudinal bars of the frame sliding sleeves are held.

Beim Schrägstellen des Rückenpolsters beschreiben dessen Punkte nicht mehr nur Kreise um eine feste Schwenkachse, sondern je mehr das Rückenpolster aufgeschwenkt wird, desto weiter bewegt sich sein unteres Ende mit der waagerechten Schwerkachse an dem Rahmen entlang auf die senkrechte Ebene der Gewichte zu. Dabei bleibt der Schulterbereich des auf dem Rückenpolster liegenden Übenden immer im Bereich der senkrechten Ebene der Gewichte.When the back cushion is tilted, its points no longer describe circles around a fixed swivel axis, but the more the back cushion is swung open, the further its lower end moves with the horizontal center axis along the frame towards the vertical plane of the weights. The shoulder area of the practitioner lying on the back cushion always remains in the area of the vertical plane of the weights.

Bevorzugt ist an der vorzugsweise im Querschnitt U-förmigen Brücke parallel zu der Schwenkachse des Rückenpolsters eine zweite Schwenkachse für das Sitzpolster gelagert. Diese ist bevorzugt auf zwei in dessen Längsrichtung verlaufenden Sitzpolsterrobren abgestützt, deren dem Rückenpolster zugewandte Enden zu beiden Seiten der Brücke von der Schwenkachse des Sitzpolsters gehalten sind. Auf diese Weise ergibt sich auch für das Sitzpolster in jeder Neigung eine erhöhte Seitenstabilität.A second pivot axis for the seat cushion is preferably mounted on the bridge, which is preferably U-shaped in cross section, parallel to the pivot axis of the back cushion. This is preferably supported on two seat cushion tubes running in its longitudinal direction, the ends of which facing the back cushion are held on both sides of the bridge by the pivot axis of the seat cushion. In this way, there is increased lateral stability for the seat cushion at every incline.

Der Schutzumfang erstreckt sich nicht nur auf die beanspruchten Einzelmerkmale, sondern auch auf deren Kombination.Preferred embodiments of the invention are contained in the claims.

Eine beispielhafte Trainingsbank weist einen Rahmen auf, an dem ein Sitzpolster 11 und ein Rückenpolster 12 abgestützt sind. Das Rückenpolster 12 ist nur mit seinem unteren Ende an dem Geräterahmen abgestützte während sein oberes Ende oder Kopfende von dem waagerechten Steg eines U-förmigen Bügels im Bereich zweier Hantelstützen 14 abgestützt wird. Diese senkrechten Hantelstützen 14 tragen obere Gabelenden 15, in denen eine sich oberhalb des Rückenpolsters 12 und quer zu diesem erstreckende Hantel 16 ruht.An exemplary training bench has a frame on which a seat cushion 11 and a back cushion 12 are supported. The back cushion 12 is supported only with its lower end on the device frame while its upper end or head end is supported by the horizontal web of a U-shaped bracket in the region of two barbell supports 14. These vertical barbell supports 14 carry upper fork ends 15, in which a dumbbell 16 extends above the back cushion 12 and transversely thereto.

Die Hantelstützen 14 sind rohrförmige Träger. Sie weisen in den oberen Bereichen waagerechte Bohrungen 26 auf, die mit entsprechenden Bohrungen der eingesteckten Gabelenden 15 fluchten und eine stufenweise Höhenverstellung der Gabelenden und damit der Hantel 16 ermöglichen. Auf jede Hantelstütze 14 ist eine senkrechte Hülse 27 passend aufgesetzt, die ebenfalls waagerechte Bohrungen 28 aufweist und mit Hilfe von Steckbolz en 29 an der Hantelstütze 14 in einer bestimmten gewünschten Höhe festgesteckt werden kann.The dumbbell supports 14 are tubular supports. They have horizontal bores 26 in the upper regions, which are aligned with corresponding bores of the inserted fork ends 15 and enable a gradual height adjustment of the fork ends and thus the barbell 16. A vertical sleeve 27 is fitted onto each dumbbell support 14, which also has horizontal bores 28 and can be plugged into the dumbbell support 14 at a specific desired height by means of plug pins 29.

An den Hantelstützen 14 sind an den Rückseiten der Hantelstützen 14 in Bezug auf das Rückenpolster 12 Lagervorrichtungen für den waagerechten Steg 13 befestigt, auf dem der Kopfbereich des Rückenpolsters 12 abgestützt ist. Diese bestehen aus je zwei deckungsgleichen, in senkrechten Ebenen sich erstreckenden parallelen Platten 3o, die mit einem Abstand zueinander an jeder senkrechten Hülse 27 befestigt, beispielsweise angeschweißt sind. Die von dem Steg aufragenden Schenkel 31 des das Rückenpolster 12 tragenden U-Bügels befinden sich mit ihrem größten Teil z wischen den Platten 3o eines Plattenpaars, wobei das obere Ende jedes Schenkels 31 mit Hilfe eines waagerechten Lagerbolzens 32, der durch fluchtende Bohrungen der Platten 3o hindurchgesteckt ist, hier gelagert ist. Der Steg 13 kann sich also um eine durch die beiden waagerechten Lagerbolzen 32 bestimmte waagerechte Achse verschwenken. Er kann an der Unterseite des Rückenpolsters sowohl fest als auch gelenkig angeordnet sein. Im Ausführungsbeispiel ist der Steg 13 des in den Platten 3o gelagerten U-förmigen Bügels an der Unterseite des Rückenpolsters 12 in dessen Kopfbereich fest angeordnet,kann sich also gegenüber dem Rückenpolster 12 nicht drehen.On the dumbbell supports 14, on the rear sides of the dumbbell supports 14 with respect to the back cushion 12, mounting devices for the horizontal web 13 are fastened, on which the head region of the back cushion 12 is supported. These consist of two congruent, parallel plates 3o extending in vertical planes, which are fastened, for example welded, to each vertical sleeve 27 at a distance from one another. The upstanding from the web leg 31 of the U-bracket supporting the back cushion 12 are located with their major part z between the plates 3o of a plate pair, the upper end of each leg 31 with the help of a horizontal bearing bolt 32, which is due to aligned holes in the plates 3o is put through, is stored here. The web 13 can thus pivot about a horizontal axis determined by the two horizontal bearing bolts 32. It can be both fixed and articulated on the underside of the back cushion. In the embodiment If the web 13 of the U-shaped bracket mounted in the plates 3o is firmly arranged on the underside of the back cushion 12 in its head region, it cannot rotate with respect to the back cushion 12.

Die zu beiden Seiten des Rückenpolsters 12 aufragenden Schenkel 31 bilden mit der Fläche des Rückenpolsters 12 also stets einen rechten Winkel. Das Aufschwenken des Rückenpolsters 12 aus der waagerechten Lage erfolgt nur dadurch, daß die beiden senkrechten Hülsen 27 an den Hantelstützen 14 entlang nach oben verschoben und in einer gewünschten Lage mittels der Steckbolz en 29 befestigt werden. Bei dieser Bewegung wird das Kopfende des Rückenpolsters 12 von dem Steg 13 angehoben, wobei die Schenkel 31 des U-Bügels sich innerhalb der Platten 3o nach hinten verschwenken und dabei das Rückenpolster 12 mit seinem unteren Ende an dem Geräterahmen entlang nach hinten ziehen. Bei dieser Bewegung erfolgt gleichzeitig eine Verschwenkung des Rückenpolsters 12 um seine waagerechte Schwenkachse 33 am unteren Ende.The legs 31 projecting on both sides of the back cushion 12 therefore always form a right angle with the surface of the back cushion 12. The swiveling of the back cushion 12 out of the horizontal position takes place only in that the two vertical sleeves 27 are moved upwards along the weight supports 14 and are fastened in a desired position by means of the plug pins 29. During this movement, the head end of the back cushion 12 is raised by the web 13, the legs 31 of the U-bracket pivoting backward within the plates 3o and thereby pulling the lower end of the back cushion 12 backwards along the device frame. During this movement, the back cushion 12 is simultaneously pivoted about its horizontal pivot axis 33 at the lower end.

Dieses Aufschwenken des Rückenpolsters 12 mit gleichzeitigem Verschieben seiner Lagerstelle am unteren Ende bewirkt, daß sich beim Aufschwenken der Schulterbereich des auf dem Rückenpolster 12 liegenden Übenden immer im Bereich der senkrechten Ebene der Hantelstützen 14 befindet. Gleichzeitig mit der Verschiebung des Rückenpolsters 12 erfolgt die Verschiebung des Sitzpolsters 11 am Rahmen entlang. Anstelle von Hanteln können auch andere verschiebbare Gewichtsvorrichtungen vorgesehen sein.This swiveling of the back cushion 12 with simultaneous shifting of its bearing point at the lower end has the effect that when the swiveling open the shoulder area of the practitioner lying on the back cushion 12 is always in the region of the vertical plane of the barbell supports 14. Simultaneously with the displacement of the back cushion 12, the displacement of the seat cushion 11 takes place along the frame. Instead of dumbbells, other displaceable weight devices can also be provided.

Der Geräterahmen einschließlich der Hantelstützen 14 ist von rohrförmigen Trägern gebildet. An einem vom Boden aufragenden mittleren Rahmenrohr 34 sind am waagerechten Stutzen mit Hilfe einer aus einer unteren Schellenhälfte 35 und einer oberen Schellenhälfte 36 gebildeten Schelle zwei waagerechte parallele Holme jeweils mit einem Ende befestigt, wobei sich der Stutzen des Rahmenrohrs 34 zwischen diesen befindet. Diese Holme, ein rechter Längsholm 37 und ein linker Längsholm 38, verlaufen bis zu der von den beiden Hantelstützen 14 gebildeten senkrechten Ebene und sind hier mit ihren anderen Enden an den Hantelstützen 14 befestigt. Die Befestigung an dem Stutzen mit den Schellenhälften 35 und 36 ist mit Hilfe von senkrechten Schrauben 39, die durch fluchtende Bohrungen der Schellenhälften 35 und 36 und der Längsholme 37 und 38 hindurchgesteckt sind und mit auf diese Schrauben 39 aufgeschraubten Hutmuttern 4o durchgeführt.The device frame including the dumbbell supports 14 is formed by tubular supports. On a central frame tube 34 projecting from the floor, two horizontal parallel bars are each fastened at one end to the horizontal connection piece with the aid of a clamp formed from a lower clamp half 35 and an upper clamp half 36, the connection piece of the frame pipe 34 being located between them. These spars, a right longitudinal spar 37 and a left longitudinal spar 38, extend up to the vertical plane formed by the two barbell supports 14 and are fastened here to the barbell supports 14 with their other ends. The attachment to the socket with the clamp halves 35 and 36 is carried out with the aid of vertical screws 39 which are inserted through aligned bores of the clamp halves 35 and 36 and the longitudinal spars 37 and 38 and with cap nuts 4o screwed onto these screws 39.

Auf die zwischen dem Rahmenrohr 34 und der senkrechten Ebene der Hantelstützen 14 waagerecht verlaufenden Längsholme 37 und 38 sind Hülsen 41 passend aufgesteckt, deren innere Durchmesser den äußerenburchmessern der Längsholme 37 und 38 entsprechen. Diese beiden in Längsrichtung der Längsholme 37 und 38 verschiebbaren Hülsen 41 tragen eine darüber befindliche Brücke 42, die im senkrechten Querschnitt die Form eines umgekehrten U aufweist. Die von dem waagerechten Brückensteg herabragenden senkrechten Schenkel 43 der Brücke 42 sind an ihren unteren Enden an den Hülsen 41 angeschweißt.Sleeves 41 are fitted onto the horizontally extending longitudinal bars 37 and 38 between the frame tube 34 and the vertical plane of the barbell supports 14, the inner diameters of which correspond to the outer diameters of the longitudinal bars 37 and 38. These two sleeves 41, which can be displaced in the longitudinal direction of the longitudinal bars 37 and 38, carry a bridge 42 located above them, which has the shape of an inverted U in the vertical cross section. The vertical legs 43 of the bridge 42 protruding from the horizontal bridge web are welded to the sleeves 41 at their lower ends.

Die Brücke 42 dient zur Lagerung der Schwenkachse 33 des Rückenpolsters 12 und zur Lagerung einer dazu parallelen Schwenkachse 44 des Sitzpolsters 11. Die Schwenkachsen 33 und 34 verlaufen waagerecht in Querrichtung und sind in fluchtenden Bohrungen der senkrechten-Schenkel 43 gelagert. Die Schwenkachse 33 ist an ihren Enden mit parallelen Rückenpolsterrohren 45 verbunden, auf denen das Rückenpolster 12 aufliegend befestigt ist, während die Schwenkachse 44 des Sitzpolsters 11 an ihren beiden Enden mit parallelen Sitzpolsterrohren 46 zur Abstützung des Sitzpolsters 11 verbunden ist. Die Sitzpolsterrohre 46 können die Schenkel eines U-förmigen Bügels sein.The bridge 42 serves to support the pivot axis 33 of the back cushion 12 and for mounting a parallel pivot axis 44 of the seat cushion 11. The pivot axes 33 and 34 run horizontally in the transverse direction and are mounted in aligned bores in the vertical legs 43. The pivot axis 33 is connected at its ends to parallel back cushion tubes 45, on which the back cushion 12 is fastened, while the pivot axis 44 of the seat cushion 11 is connected at both ends to parallel seat cushion tubes 46 for supporting the seat cushion 11. The seat cushion tubes 46 can be the legs of a U-shaped bracket.

Zur Feststellung des stufenweise in der Neigung verstellbaren Sitzpolsters 11 dient ein U-förmiger Stellbügel 47, der unterhalb des Sitzpolsters 11 an den beiden Sitzpolsterrohren 46 mit seinen Schenkeln schwenkbar gelagert ist, wobei sein Steg sich innerhalb von Ausnehmungen auf Rastverzahnungen 48 der senkrechten Schenkel 43 der Brücke 42 abstützt. Der Steg läßt sich durch einen in dem Brückensteg ausgebildeten, quer verlaufenden Rasterschlitz 49 in diese Ausnehmungen einführen.To determine the gradually adjustable seat cushion 11 is a U-shaped adjusting bracket 47, which is pivotally mounted below the seat cushion 11 on the two seat cushion tubes 46 with its legs, its web being within recesses on locking teeth 48 of the vertical legs 43 Bridge 42 supports. The web can be inserted into these recesses through a transverse raster slot 49 formed in the bridge web.

Infolge der Abstützung der die Polster 11 und 12 tragenden Brücke 42 über die Hülsen 41 auf zwei parallelen Längsholmen 37 und 38, die in waagerechter Querrichtung einen Abstand voneinander einhalten, ergibt sich eine besonders gute Seitenstabilität der Rister. Es ist nicht möglich, daß die Polster in Querrrichtung geneigt werden, weil die über die Brücke 42 miteinander verbundenen waagerechten Hülsen 41 sich an den Längsholmen 37 und 38 in Umfangsrichtung nicht verdrehen, sondern nur in Längsrichtung verschieben können.As a result of the support of the bridge 42, which supports the pads 11 and 12, via the sleeves 41 on two parallel longitudinal bars 37 and 38, which keep a distance from one another in the horizontal transverse direction, the risters have particularly good lateral stability. It is not possible for the cushions to be inclined in the transverse direction, because the horizontal sleeves 41 connected to one another via the bridge 42 do not twist in the circumferential direction on the longitudinal spars 37 and 38, but can only move in the longitudinal direction.
