Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Steigübungsgerät mit zwei in parallelen Ebenen verlaufenden gegenläufig bewegbaren Fußauflagen, die frei auskragend geführt und zur Veränderung der aufzunehmenden Kraft an einem verstellbaren Stoßdämpfer angeschlossen sind, und mit einem am oberen Ende eines Tragskeletts gelenkig gelagerten Handgriff.The invention relates to a climbing exercise device with two oppositely movable footrests running in parallel planes, which are freely cantilevered and connected to an adjustable shock absorber for changing the force to be absorbed, and with a handle which is articulated at the upper end of a supporting skeleton.
Bei den bekannten Steigübungsgeräten sind die Fußauflagen einstückig mit den Tragteilen hergestellt, wobei die Fußauflagen in der gleichen Ebene wie die Tragteile verlaufen. Durch diese Ausbildung nehmen die Füße in jeder Höhenlage der Steigübung unterschiedliche Winkel zur Bodenauflage ein. Eine derartige Fußposition ist für die die Steigübungen ausführende Person nicht optimal, wirklichkeitsfremd sowie äußerst ermüdend.In the known climbing exercise devices, the footrests are made in one piece with the supporting parts, the footrests running in the same plane as the supporting parts. With this design, the feet assume different angles to the floor support at every height of the climbing exercise. Such a foot position is not optimal for the person performing the climbing exercises, unrealistic and extremely tiring.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, bei einem Steigübungsgerät der aufgezeigten Gattung die Fußauflagen so anzuordnen, daß eine verbesserte Durchführung der Steigübungen möglich ist.The invention has for its object to arrange the footrests in a climbing exercise device of the type shown so that an improved performance of the climbing exercises is possible.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Fußauflagen an je einem parallelogrammartigen Tragteil angeordnet und in jeder Höhenlage der Steigübung annähernd parallel zur Bodenauflage geführt sind. In Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind die Fußauflagen starr an den parallelogrammartigen Trägerteilen angeschlossen, wobei jede Fußauflage mit einer Fußschlaufe versehen ist und die parallelogrammartigen Tragteile gelenkig ausgebildet sind.This object is achieved in that the footrests are each arranged on a parallelogram-like supporting part and are guided approximately parallel to the floor support at each height of the climbing exercise. In an embodiment of the invention, the footrests are rigidly connected to the parallelogram-like support parts, each footrest being provided with a foot loop and the parallelogram-like support parts being articulated.
Zweckmäßigerweise ist der Handgriff an einem Trägerrohr des Tragskeletts angeordnet, wobei das Trägerrohr des Tragskeletts teleskopartig verlängerbar ausgebildet sein kann.The handle is expediently arranged on a support tube of the support skeleton, wherein the support tube of the support skeleton can be made telescopically extendable.
In Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist am Trägerrohr des Tragskeletts eine Umlenkrolle zur Führung eines Verbindungsseils angeordnet, das mit seinen Enden fest an je einem parallelogrammartigen Tragteil angeschlossen ist. Bei einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel ist das Steigübungsgerät auf drei Punkten auf dem Boden gelagert, wobei sich anbietet, am vorderen Teil eine und am hinteren Teil zwei Bodenauflage(n) anzuordnen.In an embodiment of the invention, a deflection roller for guiding a connecting cable is arranged on the support tube of the support skeleton, the ends of which are firmly connected to a parallelogram-type support part. In a preferred exemplary embodiment, the climbing exercise device is mounted on the floor at three points, it being advisable to arrange one floor support (s) on the front part and two on the rear part.
Durch die erfindungsgemäße Führung der Fußauflagen annähernd parallel zur Bodenauflage in jeder Höhenlage der Steigübung werden die stets wechselnden Winkelstellungen der Füße vermieden. Dadurch wird eine verbesserte Durchführung der Steigübungen ermöglicht.Due to the inventive guidance of the foot supports approximately parallel to the floor support at every height of the climbing exercise, the constantly changing angular positions of the feet are avoided. This enables an improved performance of the climbing exercises.
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und wird nachfolgend näher beschrieben. Es zeigen:
- Fig. 1 eine Seitenansicht eines Steigübungsgeräts und
- Fig. 2 eine Draufsicht auf ein Steigübungsgerät.
- Fig. 1 is a side view of a climbing device and
- Fig. 2 is a plan view of a climbing exercise device.
Wie aus Fig. 2 erkennbar, verlaufen die Fußauflagen 1 in zwei parallelen Ebenen. Zum besseren Halt der Füße sind die Oberflächen der Fußauflagen 1 profiliert, zweckmäßigerweise in Form einer Gummiauflage, und besitzen je eine Fußschlaufe 4. Jede Fußauflage 1 ist starr an einem parallelogrammartigen Tragteil 2 angeschlossen und in jeder Höhenlage annähernd parallel zur Bodenauflage 3 geführt. Die parallelogrammartigen Tragteile 2 sind gelenkig ausgebildet.As can be seen from Fig. 2, the footrests 1 run in two parallel planes. To better hold the feet, the surfaces of the footrests 1 are profiled, expediently in the form of a rubber pad, and each have a
Die Fußauflagen 1 sind gegenläufig bewegbar. Über ein über eine Umlenkrolle 7 geführtes Seil sind die beiden parallelogrammartigen Tragteile 2 miteinander verbunden, wobei dieses Verbindungsseil 8 mit seinen Enden fest an den Tragteilen 2 angeschlossen ist. Bei einer Steigbzw. Trittbewegung wird die entsprechende Fußauflage 1 mit dem dazugehörigen parallelogrammartigen Tragteil 2 nach unten gedrückt und über das Verbindungsseil 8 gleichzeitig die andere Fußauflage 1 mit dem dazugehörigen parallelogrammartigen Tragteil 2 angehoben.The footrests 1 can be moved in opposite directions. The two parallelogram-
Das Tragskelett des Steigübungsgeräts besitzt ein Trägerrohr 6, an dessen oberem Ende ein gelenkig gelagerter Handgriff 5 angeordnet ist. Zur Anpassung an verschiedene Körpergrößen ist das Trägerrohr 6 teleskopartig verlängerbar ausgebildet. Dieses Trägerrohr 6 dient auch zur Aufnahme eines verstellbaren Stoßdämpfers 9, der auf der anderen Seite an die parallelogrammartigen Tragteile 2 angeschlossen ist. Über den Stoßdämpfer 9 lassen sich unterschiedliche Belastungen einstellen.The supporting skeleton of the climbing exercise device has a
Das Steigübungsgerät ist im vorderen Teil mit einer und im hinteren Teil mit zwei Bodenauflage(n) 3 versehen. Durch diese Dreipunktlagerung ist auch auf einer unebenen Unterlage die Standfestigkeit garantiert. Außerdem wird bei einer Dreipunktlagerung durch Materialeinsparung das Gewicht des Steigübungsgeräts reduziert.The climbing device is provided with one floor pad (s) 3 in the front part and two in the rear part. Thanks to this three-point bearing, stability is guaranteed even on an uneven surface. In addition, the weight of the climbing exercise device is reduced in three-point storage by saving material.
