Abstract
The invention relates to a device for training the muscles of the body, comprising a stack of weights (1) disposed one over the other. In order to couple the weights (1) to a lifting device (2), each weight (1) is associated with a pin (3) or a pivot plate (12) arranged in a vertical line and aligned correspondingly equally. A linearly adjustable actuation device presses the desired pin (3) inward, or pivots the pivot plate (12), and produces the coupling to the lifting device (2).
Description
- The invention concerns a device for training the muscles of the body according to the preamble of
claim 1. - Training devices for developing and/or strengthening the muscles or joints of the body by overcoming a counterforce are known in various embodiments.
- The device according to the invention for training the muscles of the body is based on a tower of weights in which the plate-shaped weights are stacked in a stack on top of each other. This stack of weights is penetrated by a vertical rod which forms the lifting device for all weights or some of the weights. In order to be able to adjust the desired weight load, a bolt is provided. The latter is pushed through an appropriate bore through the weight in question. The rod of the lifting device has an aligned bore for this purpose that will then be engaged by the leading end of the bolt. In this way, the weight is coupled to the lifting device. By lifting the lifting device, the weight as well as all weights positioned on top are lifted while the weights underneath will remain in their rest position.
- The disadvantage of this fitness device is however that for changing the weight load, the person must leave the device in order to be able to transfer the bolt into a new position, i.e., the bolt must first be pulled out and then reinserted into the new position.
- Based on this, the object of the invention is to provide an improved adjusting device for selecting the weight force for a device for training the muscles of the body of the aforementioned kind.
- The technical solution is characterized by the features of the characterizing portion of
claim 1. - In this way, an adjusting device for the weight force of the fitness device is provided that is adjustable in the training position by the person that is training without the person having to leave the fitness device. The basic idea of the adjusting device resides in that an actuating device is provided that is linearly slidable. Along the displacement path of this actuating device the corresponding positions for the desired weight force are provided. The technical realization provides that each position for adjusting the weight force has correlated therewith a coupling element that in the basic position is in a disengaged position with the correlated weight. By means of the actuating device the desired coupling element can be adjusted so that the appropriate weight is coupled to the lifting device. Inasmuch as a new weight force is to be adjusted, it is only required to return by means of the actuating device the coupling element, to linearly move the actuating device in order to then adjust in the new position the appropriate weight force in that the coupling element by means of the actuating device is moved into the engagement position at the lifting device. The basic idea resides thus in a slide control that is moveable along the weights and actuatable accordingly.
- According to the embodiment of
claim 2, the adjusting movement of the actuating device can either be carried out by hand or by means of an electrical drive. - Preferably, the actuating device according to the embodiment of
claim 3 has a gripping device for positive-lockingly gripping the coupling element. The basic idea resides thus in that after the linear displacement of the actuating device, the latter grips the desired selected coupling element so that it, by means of the actuating device, is transferred into the engagement position at the lifting device. - In order to be able to adjust by means of the actuating device in a technically simple way the coupling element, the embodiment according to
claim 4 proposes that the actuating device is pivotable. This means that first for selecting the appropriate weight or coupling element the actuating device is moved linearly. Once the actuating device has reached the position of the desired coupling element, the actuating device is then pivoted. This pivot movement then exerts an adjusting movement onto the coupling element. - The embodiment according to
claim 5 proposes a concrete technical realization of the actuating device. The basic idea resides in that the actuating device is arranged so as to be longitudinally slidable on a vertical rod. However, the actuating device is non-rotatably arranged on this rod. This is to be understood such that a pivot movement of the rod exerts a pivot movement on the actuating device and vice versa. Moreover, on the rod an adjusting device is arranged. This adjusting device is a device that is actuated by hand. Here, the adjusting device is also freely longitudinally slidable but again non-rotatably connected to the rod. In this way, by a linear movement of the adjusting device on the rod the actuating device can be moved into the desired position relative to a selected coupling element. Subsequently, it is only necessary to rotate the adjusting device somewhat. The coupling of the movement with the pivotable rod causes the actuating device to also carry out a pivot movement that transfers the coupling element into the engagement position at the lifting device. As an alternative to the pivotable rod, a stationary vertical rod can be provided also on which a sleeve is supported so as to be rotatable as well as longitudinally slidable. On this sleeve the actuating device as well as the adjusting device are fixedly arranged. - The adjusting device can be arranged directly on the actuating device so that the adjusting device and the actuating device form an assembly. However, it is also conceivable that according to the embodiment of
claim 6 coupling of the movement between the adjusting device and the actuating device is realized by means of an endless belt or the like. This means that the actuating device as well as the adjusting device are attached to the endless belt so that upon movement of the adjusting device the actuating device carries out a corresponding movement. In this way it is possible to arrange the adjusting device at an entirely different location than the actual operative area of the actuating device. - The embodiment according to
claim 7 proposes a technically simple possibility for engaging and disengaging the respective coupling element by means of the actuating device. The basic principle resides in that the coupling elements each have a head. The heads of these coupling elements are aligned in the basic position of the coupling element on a line on top of each other. This means that the actuating device with the two prongs can be moved along these heads successively wherein the heads are positioned between the two prongs, respectively. Upon reaching the desired coupling element it is then only necessary to move the actuating device such that one of the prongs of the actuating device moves the head of the coupling element and the coupling element is correspondingly adjusted. In order to be able to return the coupling element into the release position, the actuating device is moved in opposite direction so that the other prong becomes active. - Moreover, the embodiment according to
claim 8 proposes that for fine adjustment of the weights also additional weights can be engaged. These additional weights have a smaller mass than the actual main weight. The basic principle in activating these additional weights resides in that the coupling element can be adjusted in a two-step manner. In the first step, initially the main weight is engaged and in the second step in which the coupling element is still further adjusted the additional weight is engaged also. - According to the embodiment of
claim 9 the coupling element can be formed by a bolt that this movable in longitudinal direction. The basic principle resides in that this bolt is longitudinally slidably supported within the corresponding weight. When the bolt is pushed inwardly, its tip will be positioned in a corresponding cutout in the lifting device and in this way provides positive-locking action. Accordingly, the corresponding weight is coupled with the lifting device. By pulling out the bolt, decoupling is realized. - Preferably, the bolt according to the embodiment of
claim 10 has a head that is fixedly connected by a neck to the actual bolt body. The basic principle resides in that the head is surrounded by a fork-like actuating device with two prongs. This means that the actuating device embodied in this way is arranged perpendicularly to the displacement direction of the bolt and in this way surrounds the head with its two prongs. By a pivot movement of the actuating device in the appropriate direction the bolt is pushed inwardly. By a pivot movement of the actuating device in the other direction, the bolt is then pulled out again. In both cases, the corresponding prongs of the actuating device will rest against a head of the bolt. This arrangement of the bolts with their heads has moreover the advantage that the afore described actuating device can be moved along the heads of the bolts. - An alternative to the afore described bolts proposes according to the embodiment of claim 11 a pivot plate as a coupling element. The pivot plate is arranged pivotably on the correlated weight, respectively. The pivot plate is provided with a profiling that corresponds to a profiling of the lifting device. When the pivot plate is in the basic position, no positive-locking connection between the pivot plate, on the one side, and the lifting device, on the other side, is provided. This means that the pivot plate is decoupled from the lifting device and thus from the weight. As soon as the pivot plate is transferred into its pivot position, a positive-locking engagement of the pivot plate with the lifting device is realized. This means that the corresponding weight plate is coupled with the lifting device and can be lifted.
- According to the embodiment of
claim 12, the lifting device is embodied as a rod. This rod penetrates the pivot plate. This means that the pivot plate is provided with an opening. This opening is provided with two shapes. Within one shape the pivot plate is movable along the rod providing the lifting device without coupling taking place. After pivoting the pivot plate into the other shape of the opening, a positive-locking connection between pivot plate and rod is generated and in this way the desired coupling action is achieved. - Two embodiments of the device according to the invention for training the muscles of the body will be disclosed in the following with the aid of the drawings. They show in:

FIG. 4 a a perspective illustration of the fitness device of a second embodiment in the initial position without a weight being engaged; -
FIG. 4 b an illustration according toFIG. 4 a but with a weight being engaged; -
FIG. 5 a a plan view onto a weight with pivot plate wherein in solid line the released position and in dash-dotted line the locked position is indicated; -
FIG. 5 b a side view of the illustration inFIG. 5 a; -
FIG. 5 c an illustration of the corresponding lifting device in the form of a rod. - In
FIGS. 1 a to 3 b a first embodiment and inFIGS. 4 a to 5 c a second embodiment of the fitness device is illustrated. - The fitness device in the first embodiment of
FIGS. 1 a to 3 b has a stack of plate-shapedweights 1. Theseweights 1 have correlated therewith a rod-shapedlifting device 2 that penetrates theweights 1 vertically. - Each of these
weights 1 has ahorizontal bolt 3 correlated therewith. In this connection, thebolt 3 is movable in horizontal direction linearly, in particular within a matching horizontal through bore within theweight 1. Thebolt 3 each have ahead 4 that by means of aneck 5 is connected fixedly to the actual bolt body. Theheads 4 of thebolts 3 are positioned on a vertical line on top one another. - The
bolts 3 have correlated therewith anactuating device 6. The latter has twoprongs 7. It is arranged so as to be movable freely in vertical direction on avertical rod 8. However, theactuating device 6 is non-rotatably secured relative to therod 8. Therod 8 itself is however pivotable above its vertical center axis. - Moreover, on the
rod 8 anadjusting device 9 is also freely movable in vertical direction but is again non-rotatably arranged. This adjustingdevice 9 has a manual lever. The coupling of the movement of theactuating device 6 and theadjusting device 9 is realized by means of anendless belt 10 or the like which is guided along therod 8 about rollers. - The function is as follows:
- In the initial position all
bolts 3 are in the pulled-out position. In this position none of theweights 1 is coupled with thelifting device 2. - By moving upwardly or downwardly the
adjusting device 9 along thevertical rod 8, theactuating device 6 is also moved up or down accordingly by means of the movement entraining mechanism with theendless belt 10. In this connection theheads 4 of thebolts 3 are positioned between the twoprongs 7 of theactuating device 6. With an appropriate indicator in the movement range of the adjustingdevice 9, theactuating device 8 can be moved into a desired position in which a selectedbolt 3 can be actuated. - For this purpose, the adjusting
device 9 is rotated somewhat by means of its manual lever such that theprongs 7 of theactuating device 6 move thehead 4 and thus thebolt 3 inwardly as is illustrated in particular in the detail view B ofFIG. 1 b as well asFIG. 2 b. In this inserted position of thebolt 3, its forward end is positioned in a corresponding opening of thelifting device 2. Accordingly, the coupling between theweight 1 and thelifting device 2 by means of thebolt 3 is provided. - In this position, the
lifting device 2 can be actuated, i.e., can be moved up or down. By coupling a selected weight with thislifting device 2, theweights 1 positioned above are entrained as a result of their stacked arrangement. - If it is desired to “add” an
additional weight 11, it is only necessary to rotate the adjusting device 9 a little farther (FIG. 1 c as well asFIG. 2 c). In this case, thebolt 3 is moved still a little father so that with its leading end it is positioned in a corresponding receiving bore of theadditional weight 11. Accordingly, not only theweight 1 but also the correspondingadditional weight 11 are coupled to thelifting device 2. - In order to realize a completely new weight adjustment, it is necessary to first return the
adjusting device 9 so that the selectedbolt 3 is pulled out again. Since thehead 4 of thisbolt 3 is then again aligned with theheads 4 of theother bolts 3, it is now possible again by means of the adjustingdevice 9 to move theactuating device 6 up or down in order to select in this way anew bolt 3. In this case, the movement sequence as described above is repeated. - The second embodiment, as illustrated in
FIGS. 4 a to 5 c, is based on the same principle as the first embodiment. The fitness device has a stack of plate-shapedweights 1. Theseweights 1 have a rod-shapedlifting device 2 correlated therewith that penetrates theweights 1 vertically. - Each of these
weights 1 has apivot plate 12 correlated therewith as a coupling element that is supported pivotably on the topside or bottom side of the correlatedweight 1. Thispivot plate 12 is of a sector-shaped embodiment and has ahead 4 at its rearward end that projects past the rim of theweight 1. Thispivot plate 12 is characterized in the interior by acutout 13. Thiscutout 13 is shaped on one side as acircular arc 14 and on the other side shaped as alongitudinal slot 15 that is perpendicular to the arc. - This
cutout 13 is penetrated by a rod-shapedlifting device 2. As can be seen inFIG. 5 c, the rod-shapedlifting device 2 has a sawtooth profile. This profile is designed such that thecircular part 14 of thecutout 13 of thepivot plate 12 will positive-lockingly engage the area of the reduced cross-section while thelongitudinal slot 15 is somewhat greater than the cross-section of the rod-shapedlifting device 2. - Moreover, a
vertical rod 8 is provided on which alongitudinal sleeve 16 is supported slidably in the longitudinal direction as well as supported pivotably. On the lower end of thesleeve 16 there is anactuating device 6. The latter is fixedly connected to thesleeve 16. Thisactuating device 6 has twoprongs 7. At the upper end of thesleeve 16 there is anadjusting device 9 in the form of a manual lever. - The function is as follows:
- In the initial position all
pivot plates 12 are in the same pivot position. This is illustrated inFIG. 5 a by the solid line. In this position, the rod-shapedlifting device 2 is located in allpivot plates 12 in theirlongitudinal slot 15 of thecutout 13. - By up and down movement of the adjusting
device 9 along thevertical rod 8 theactuating device 6 with itsprongs 7 is moved down or up. In this connection, theheads 4 of thepivot plates 12 are aligned so that theseheads 4 are always between the prongs of theactuating device 6. As soon as theactuating device 6 has reached the desiredweight 1 or itspivot plate 12, thesleeve 16 is pivoted by means of the adjustingdevice 9. In this way, thepivot plate 12 is moved into a pivot position as is indicated inFIG. 5 a by the dash-dotted line. In this position thecircular arc 14 of thecutout 13 of thepivot plate 12 will come to rest in the sawtooth-like constriction of the rod-shapedlifting device 2 in such a way that thepivot plate 12 is coupled with the rod-shapedlifting device 2 positive-lockingly in the lifting direction. - In this position, the
lifting device 2 can be actuated, i.e. moved up or down. By coupling a selectedweight 1 with thislifting device 2 by means of the positive-lockinglyengaging pivot plate 12 theweights 1 on top are entrained as a result of their stacked arrangement. - In order to realize a new weight adjustment it is necessary to first return the
adjusting device 9 so that thepivot plate 12 is returned again into its initial position. In this way, thepivot plate 12 is released from the rod-shapedlifting device 2 and is positioned in thelongitudinal slot 15. Since the head of thepivot plate 12 is then again aligned with theheads 4 of theother pivot plates 12, it is now possible again by means of the adjustingdevice 9 to move theactuating device 6 up or down in order to select in this way anew pivot plate 12. In this case, the sequence is repeated as described. -
