Embodiment Construction

[0023] The invention generally relates to vibration units, in particular to movable vibration units that can be attached to various exercise machines and appliances. The vibration unit can be built into grips and other surfaces in contact with the body, comprising exercise machines for leg kicks, knee bends etc.

[0024] The invention comprises an external vibrating grip, which can be mounted on exercise machines, home gym appliances, free weights, bicycles, bars, etc. The grip is connected to a vibration generating element. Such elements are known per se, and can consist of two motors, each fitted with an eccentric load, causing vibrations when the motors rotate. Each motor is mounted on a steel frame, which in turn can be mounted on certain exercise machines by means of a mounting device. The unique aspect of the invention is the fact that it is movable, which enables gyms, rehab centres and private individuals to develop both their exercise appliances and their training methods.

Abstract

The invention relates to a vibration unit with a grip or a contact surface, to be mounted detachably on exercise machines or on a body part. The vibration unit comprises a vibration generating element (1, 2) and a mounting device (4). According to some embodiments of the invention, the mounting device is adapted for application around or inside a handle of an exercise machine. According to other embodiments of the invention, the mounting device is adapted for application on a frame of an exercise machine or on a body part, by means of various devices. According to other embodiments of the invention, the vibration unit is provided as a separate unit for mounting to a rigid support.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a vibration unit, comprising a grip or a contact surface, to be mounted detachably on exercise appliances or on a body part or as a separate unit. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] It is known that vibrations in exercise equipment or free weights, enhances the effect of the exercise on the muscles. [0003] In U.S. Pat. No. 5,813,951 an exercise machine with a permanently attached vibration unit is disclosed. [0004] It is also known to build in vibration units in free weights. See for example U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,039,679 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,868,653. [0005] There are many different machines in a gym, representing a considerable value. To replace a set of ordinary machines with a set of machines equipped with built-in vibration units would be very costly. Machines with vibration units are therefore seldom or never seen. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0006] The present inventor has realized that it would be advantageous if external d...
