Benefits of technology

[0011]When the user operates the crank, the rotation axle moves simultaneously, obliging the user to change the placement of the feet on the ground or on a sloping platform. The change of foot position can be caused by being thrown onto the heels or onto the forward part of the foot, or a by movement of the feet on the ground in order to find a better balance position.

Problems solved by technology

In these conditions however, it is not possible to move the feet in order to find a new position that would require the use of other muscles.
There already exist other very effective bodybuilding appliances such as the lateral or central rowing machine and the elliptical bicycle, but each of these has its drawbacks.
In fact certain muscles are insufficiently worked in terms of effort and movement.

Embodiment Construction

)

[0017]The apparatus represented in FIG. 1, according to a first version, includes a vertical framework (15) whose two braced uprights (141-142) are mounted on feet that are attached to the ground (25), imposing a slope ({circumflex over (1)}) of the uprights (14) to the side that is adjustable from 0° upwards according to the degree of physical exercise sought by the user. Depending on the rigidity required of the assembly, the vertical framework is anchored to the ceiling by a system of stays (17). A cage (13) slides on the uprights (14). The fittings of the cage include, at the bottom, the mechanical assembly (2) with adjustable torque (10) of the home exercise bicycle type, whose output axle (23) is coupled to the axle (3) of the crank (1) by mechanical means (5′) of the belt and pulley type, or the toothed wheel and chain type or the geared type. The choice of the direction of rotation of the crank is determined by a gearbox (21) that is controlled by a two-position lever (20)....

Abstract

A bodybuilding and / or re-education apparatus that comprises rotating has a crank rotatable with one or both hands for displacing and driving a mechanical assembly with adjustable torque of the stationary bicycle type and for toning all the muscles in a single motion based on the body position of the user. The apparatus includes a crank adjustable to a man's height through a mechanical means mounted on a mechanical assembly from a stationary bicycle. The lever arm of the crank is telescopic and has an adjustable length for making circles with greater or smaller radii. As soon as the operator actuates the crank, whether on the side or facing the mechanism, the rotation axis moves in a continuous manner from A to B or B to A, forcing the operator to constantly change the bearing position of his feet on the ground or on a stand with an inclinable plane. The apparatus can be used in gymnasiums and the home for a major and original bodybuilding contribution.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001](1) Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention concerns a bodybuilding and / or re-education apparatus that consists of turning a crank with one or both hands in order to move and drive a mechanical assembly with adjustable torque, of the home exercise bicycle type and which, depending on the position of the user's body, can be used to tone all of the muscles in a single movement.[0003](2) Prior Art[0004]As we know, there already exist many proposals of bodybuilding and / or re-education apparatus that are based on the turning of a crank. Searches at the INPI (Institut National de la Propriété Industrielle) identifies three such patents, namely:[0005]EP 1,566,204 dated 24 Aug. 2005,[0006]U.S. Pat. No. 4,772,015 dated 20 Sep. 1988, and[0007]U.S. Pat. No. 4,773,398 dated 27 Sep. 1988.[0008]These three patents present appliances with more or less similar functions, meaning those in which the user places his (or her) feet and / or body in order to exercise mainly the up...
