Description

[0001] The invention relates to a strength training device according to the features of claim 1. I. Background of the present invention: Environment of the invention and problems

[0002] Current fitness equipment is designed to train muscles through stress. Mass is used in the following ways: - static masses that are lifted or moved based on the force of gravity, and - Rotating masses, in the form of discs, which are set in rotation by muscle power, whereby gravity no longer plays a role here.

[0003] The load on the muscles when training with static weights is constant and monotonous. For example, when lifting a 10 kg dumbbell, the muscles are always loaded with a force of 10 kg throughout the entire training session, regardless of whether you raise or lower the arm with the weight, or just let it hang passively. This load doesn't allow for relaxation during training. You have to repeatedly take breaks from training and release the weight to relax the muscles and tendons, and then start the load again and again.

[0004] In addition, prior publications describing a fitness device using a flywheel are known. Reference should be made to the prior publications US 4,632,392 and US 5,242,351.

[0005] In the aforementioned prior publications, a cylindrical disc, similar to those used for fitness training, is mounted on a bearing-mounted shaft. The shaft is rotated by the tangential application of a tensile force on a flexible belt that is initially wound around it. Due to the stored kinetic energy, the shaft continues to rotate along with the disc, even after the belt has been completely unwound. This means that the belt is wound in the other direction without the aid of muscle power (like a "yo-yo"). This creates a double training cycle: In the first phase, the muscle exerts a tensile force to accelerate the disc. In the second phase, the muscle is required to decelerate the tensile force exerted on the tensile element by the rotating disc. Between the two phases, the muscle can be relaxed for a short time, depending on the user's wishes. The problems with previously known flywheel devices:

[0006] A number of problems are known with the previously known devices, namely - the devices are very solid because they are built together with a solid and solid base, so in most cases they cannot be taken away and used anywhere other than in the place specifically defined for them, - the length of the belt is usually very difficult to adjust, - they have a large volume, are very solid and statically oversized, weigh a lot and can only be shipped with high shipping costs, - they require a large storage room and plenty of space to train, almost exclusively indoors, - are very expensive and for this reason only affordable for top athletes or professional sports clubs. II. Object of the present invention

[0007] Against this background, it is the object of the present invention to provide an improved training device and / or improved training device components and / or attachments.

[0008] The object is achieved according to the invention in accordance with the independent claims. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.

[0009] The present invention provides a number of improvements, including, for example, - the invention proposes a lightweight, portable, compact, affordable training device; - the device according to the invention is of modular construction, whereby the massive, heavy support or base has been completely eliminated and replaced by several, partly universal connection adapters that enable the connection to stable or stationary supports; - the training device according to the invention offers the possibility of being fixed anywhere, indoors or outdoors, in order to be able to train with the device; - training with the training device according to the invention is carried out with the aid of a novel handle, with the aid of which training can be carried out either with one or with both hands; - within the scope of the invention, it is preferably possible to adjust the length of the pulling element continuously in a simple and convenient manner by means of novel couplings between the handle and the pulling element (preferably a pulling strap); - with the training device according to the invention, the training force can be exerted not only by hand, but also by other parts of the body with the help of special body cuffs; - In addition, if necessary, mechanical and / or electrical or electronic accessories can be attached to the strength training device, i.e. preferably built in, in order to improve and measure user-friendliness such as the fun effect and to train together through the connection to “social media”; - Finally, in a modification and / or further development of the invention, electricity can also be generated during the training process.

in these examples, both the "fork-like" internal structures and the housings are not solid but at least partially modular); Figures 104a to 104e: a further modification of an embodiment, wherein a rigid (i.e. fixed), non-rotating adapter is attached to an outer housing, which is provided with a preferably bayonet-like coupling.

[0011] The training or therapy device according to the invention is basically constructed from the following main modules: Power module (such as 1, or 99 to 104), with or without outer housing, provided with various couplings for the attachment of various adapters such as 2. The power module has a bearing-mounted shaft such as 12.1, on which one or more flywheel masses such as 13 are placed. A tension element 3 is preferably elastically / dampingly attached to the shaft, which protrudes from the power module in the opposite direction to the coupling 2. At the other end of the tension element 3, a fixed or stiff (rigid) handle 4 or one equipped with a removable / roll-up coupling etc. is provided, or a body cuff as in Fig. 76 to 81 shown, attached.

[0012] From the Fig. 1 to 4, it can be seen that the training device comprises a fastening module 2 in various designs, tension elements 3 for exerting force (for example, in the form of a band, a belt, a cord, etc.), and preferably an ergonomic handle 4, which can have a coupling between the tension element and the handle for fastening and / or uncoupling. The tension element 3 is thus generally flexible and / or rollable, i.e., in particular, similar to a band or belt. Furthermore, a sleeve adapter (or "body cuff") can also be provided, which is useful when other body parts are to be trained or treated with the device according to the invention.

[0013] The force module 1 basically contains, in a preferred variant, the following components (as can be seen in particular from the Fig. 5 to 10 results in): A shaft 12 mounted in a housing 20, preferably on ball bearings 16, one or more flywheel masses 13, traction element(s) 3, a possible braking system (not shown), possibly a guide 7 for the traction element 3 sliding in the opening 24 of the housing 20, a "coupling" 5 (available in several designs) for attaching the force module to the handle 4 (also available in several designs). The force module 1 can be attached or positioned directly, via a recessed coupling 9.2 or another type of coupling such as 362 (Fig. 102b), or via a fastening module 2 on a fixed "base" 46.

[0014] The following elements are unique to the design of the power module (although they may differ from the following description). The training device according to the invention preferably comprises the following parts: - a housing which consists of or is formed from two “doubly symmetrical” and, in this respect, preferably identically designed housing halves 20, - one or more flywheel masses 13 are also provided, - the specific design of a shaft 12 or 12.1, which offers a very simple possibility for connecting the tension element by means of a pin 81, - a connection of the two housing halves 20 preferably with very few fastening elements 21 (for example in the form of screws or magnets) - a multifunctional “mask” 8 with a design element (where the mask 8 represents a cover flap for the screw 18; in Fig. 7 only the left cover flap 8 is attached or fitted and the right cover flap 8 is not shown), - wherein further preferably the possibility is provided that the force module can be attached to a plurality of supports 46 directly or indirectly, for example with the aid of a fastening module, as shown in Fig. 25 to 28.

[0015] A braking system (not shown) can also be installed between the rotating shaft 12 and the static housing 20, as well as a switching system that automatically activates the brake if, for example, the user no longer has the handle 4 in his hand during operation, and serves to protect against possible damage to the device. The fastening of the pulling element 3 to the shaft 12 can be realized in a variety of ways, but preferably in a very simple way, as shown in the Fig. 10b to 11d, namely as follows: the tension element 3 is inserted into a through hole 25 and the end is pushed back in. This creates a loop into which a pin or wedge 81 is inserted, e.g. pushed in (see also Fig. 10b to 11d).

[0016] The housing 20 can have transparent walls or windows so that the rotating flywheels 13 are visible from the outside. In this case, the flywheels 13 can have a decorative element, such as a logo or "glitter elements" such as semi-crystals or LEDs, etc., on at least one side.

[0017] The force module (including the housing 20) is preferably fitted with (Hall) sensors for measuring the rotational speed of the flywheel masses, sensors for force measurement, LCD or other types of (LCD or other types of) displays, LED lighting, etc. Mounting options

[0018] The special feature of this preferred construction is the simple, modular design and, above all, the fastening options for the strength device 1 (see Fig. 12 to 16 and 25 to 28).

[0019] For this purpose, the housing 20, in the "rear area" opposite the opening 24, offers the possibility of being directly attached to a fixed "base" or support 46 (for example, in the form of a post shown in section), for example with a tensioning strap 45 (which preferably runs through the recess 35 in the fastening module 2, which is placed around the base or post 46). The housing 20 has a "cylindrical area" with a round or, for example, a polygonal cross-section in plan view, which can be extended "downwards or upwards" if necessary or can have other shapes (with or without recesses), with the purpose of enabling the housing to be attached to a fixed base or to be held by hand.

[0020] Another fastening option is provided by the use of a fastening module 2, as shown in the Fig. 12 to 20, which is attached to the housing by means of a pin 6 that can be inserted through a through hole 37 provided in the housing. The pin 6 is angularly designed, with essentially only the angular projection 6' being visible from the outside, in order to grip the pin and insert its long leg into the hole 37, whereby the housing 20 of the force module 1 is connected to the fastening module 2. This creates a type of "hinge connection" between the elements 2, 20 and 6, which enables the preferably vertical pivoting, alignment and orientation of the force module 1 fixed on a base 46 (depending on the pulling direction on the pulling element 3).

[0021] The fastening module can, for example, consist of two pairs of self-aligning adapters (as shown in Figure 101), which can be pivoted independently of one another and thus also relative to one another. Several pairs of "support feet" 33 and / or further support feet 34 can be provided. The recess 30 serves to facilitate the placement of the tensioning belts 45, in particular on, for example, rod- or column-shaped supports 46, especially when these have a small diameter. The tensioning belt 45 can preferably be guided through a recess 9 or via the "cylindrical area" 58 ( Fig. 16). The recess 35 serves as an additional coupling for inserting various accessories 47 (for example in the form of pads, adapters or supports, for example, for a mobile phone, a tablet, a laptop, for books) or, for example, a mirror 48, loudspeakers, heating plates, etc. Other accessories, such as a spirit level 32 for precise adjustment, can also be attached to the fastening module 2, for example by using the recesses 32 (see also Fig. 25 and Fig. 28).

[0022] The strength device 1 is connected to the body by means of one or more belts 45 etc., as shown in Fig. 25 to 28 or 100, fixed to trees, masts 46, etc., preferably in a vertical orientation for training, using the fastening module 2. As mentioned, the housing 20 of the power module 1 is attached to the fastening module 2, for example, via the aforementioned angled pin 6. The aforementioned fastening module 2 can then be brought into contact with a post-like anchorage with its support feet 33, 34 (which are aligned at an angle to one another in plan view) and secured thereto by wrapping tensioning straps (45 or 360 - one in the middle or two at the extremities).

[0023] As mentioned, a variant of a fastening module 2 is based on the Fig. 12 to 16. A slightly modified version is shown on the Fig. 16a, Fig. 16b in perspective view, based on Fig. 16c in plan view and based on the Fig. 16d, Fig. 16e and Fig. 16f can be shown in different side views.

[0024] A common feature of this variant with the variant according to Fig. 12 to 16 is that the fastening module 2 has a longitudinal extension, thereby having a so-called cylindrical region or cylindrical anchoring region 58 spaced apart in the longitudinal direction, which comprises, on the one hand, a longitudinally extending axial bore 31 located at the top and bottom, into which the aforementioned pin 6 can be inserted. Furthermore, as mentioned, the force module 1 or the housing 20 of the force module 1 is hinged and thus connected in an articulated manner about the pivot axis formed by the longer leg of the pin 6. Parallel to the aforementioned axial bore 31, a further axial bore 35 is provided, extending over a partial length, which serves as a recess for coupling elements (which may, for example, have a round or other profile cross-section, which will be discussed later). The aforementioned recess 32 ( Fig. 16) serves, for example, as a recess for inserting or attaching a spirit level, sensors, lighting elements (LED), etc. There are no restrictions in this regard. The aforementioned recess 30 serves to guide a strap around it, for example, to firmly attach the aforementioned fastening module 2 to a (possibly thinner) post.

[0025] In the variant according to the Fig. 16a to 16d, the outer support foot delimiting the recess 30 at the two opposite ends (which, in plan view, is aligned with the support feet 34 located underneath) has been omitted, which facilitates the attachment of straps for securing the fastening module 2 to a post or a post-like structure. As mentioned, for example, a strap (not shown in detail in the figures) can be passed through the slot-like recess 9, with two straps preferably being used for attachment, which are anchored to an upper and a lower recess area 30 around a post 46 and extend through the slots 9 in the upper and lower anchoring section 58.This, as well as a modification, will be discussed later, whereby the modification is possible insofar as, for example, a middle belt strap can be guided not only around the fastening module 2, but also around the fastening module 2 while it is in contact with a post, in order to fix the fastening module, for example, to a post 46.

[0026] The strength training device 1 can also be held by one person with their hands while training, allowing two people to train simultaneously using the same device, as follows: One person holds the strength training device with their hands on the housing or on the handles 4a and 4b, while the other pulls on the handle 4. The load and thus the training effect is distributed equally between both people. Another reason why two people could train together is to strengthen team spirit, the fun factor, and stimulate the ambition of both people.

[0027] In this case, an ergonomic adapter can be attached to the device, if desired, preferably with two opposing handles for grasping and holding the strength training device. The other person can then operate the strength training device using the aforementioned belt. The resulting forces are felt by both people according to the "action" = "reaction" principle, and both must react accordingly.

[0028] The strength device 1 can also be mounted on a rail, for example a rail or a profile 401, for example on a wall. Such a rail 401 can comprise a profile 403, which is designed, for example, in the shape of a groove and is formed on the two opposite transversely oriented side surfaces 405 of such a profile or such a rail 401, as can be seen, for example, from the Fig. 16g, Fig. 16h and the Fig. 16i and Fig. 16j is reproduced in plan view. On this profile rail, two corresponding screws (not shown in detail) are anchored in their position at a distance from one another by adapters 409, which are provided parallel to the rail 401 with a connection option 411 (designated 35 in other examples), for example a hole-shaped recess into which an anchoring pin can be inserted, which extends through both spaced-apart adapters 409. Between the thus spaced-apart adapters 409, a corresponding holding body 48 or 415 or 358 can then be anchored, which is firmly connected to the housing 20 or anchoring area 358 of the force module 1 or can be attached there, preferably also at least approximately elongated, and which is firmly connected or articulated to the housing 20 of the force module 1.Preferably, the force module 1 can also be pivotally connected to the adapter assembly 411 via the holding body 415 and pivotable relative thereto, i.e., about an axis running parallel to the profile 401. The profile rail 401 itself can then be mounted on any solid surface, for example, a wall. The aforementioned adapters 409 preferably do not engage around the profile 401 or the profile rail 401 on their rear side, so that the profile rail can be attached directly to a wall, for example, without additional spacers.

[0029] The strength device 1 can also be placed in an open shelf or a cabinet 50 (with doors not shown) or 155 to 158, which is permanently attached to a wall or by means of a removable coupling on the wall, as in Fig. 29 and Fig. 29a and Fig. 30 and Fig. 30a. The cabinet 50 may have one or more compartments arranged side by side and / or one above the other (not shown). Other strength or training equipment or accessories such as straps, handles, gloves, holders, athletic wear, drinking fluids, etc., can be placed in the other compartments.

[0030] The cupboard made of Fig. 30 and Fig. 30a can also be built modularly, whereby, for example, part 155 is fixed to the wall and the assembly 157 and 158 is “removable”.

[0031] The cabinet 50 can also slide up and down on vertical sliding guides / sliding rails, which are provided on a wall-mounted base (not shown) and can be fixed at a certain height. A mirror can be placed between the two sliding rails on the "fixed base" so that the user can observe themselves while exercising for motivation.

[0032] The aforementioned "cabinet" can be hung on the wall, and one or more of the interior compartments can be filled with power storage batteries. The training power generator is placed inside the cabinet, and a "hotplate" or other cooking appliances powered by the electricity generated by the device could be placed above the cabinet. This creates a more complex, completely energy-independent "cooking ensemble" that can be used in simpler households or on the go, for expeditions, or in emergency situations, etc.

[0033] For this and other purposes, the recesses 35 and 36 were provided on the fastening module 2, which serve as couplings for the attachment of, for example, a base 47 for a mobile phone / smartphone, “tablet”, laptop, books, mirrors, loudspeakers, etc.

[0034] All other surfaces and recesses of the mounting module 2 can be used as couplings for attaching various accessories. The tension element

[0035] The tension element is basically flexible and rigid, but can also be slightly stretchable if necessary in order to absorb the shock when the direction of rotation of the flywheel masses changes (which is reached when the "dead center" is reached when the tension element is completely unwound from the shaft).

[0036] The at least one flywheel 13 provided or the two or more flywheels 13 are caused to rotate by exerting a tangential tensile force on a shaft section. The force can be exerted by means of a belt 3, a cord, a rope, a belt, a chain, etc., which is fastened to the shaft 12. The fastening of the belt 3 to the shaft 12 can be carried out in many ways, but preferably the belt is inserted through a continuous recess 25. The "thickened" end of the belt 3 (not shown) will remain in the thicker recess 26. However, the belt can preferably be most simply inserted as shown in the Fig. 9 to 11d. (In this variant, the end of the belt forms a loop into which a wedge / pin 81 is inserted, thereby creating a simple connection between the tension element 3 and the shaft 12.) Fig. 10.1a to 10.1h, the pin 81 rests on two compression springs 135 placed axially in the shaft 12.1, which absorb the shock occurring at the dead center.

[0037] In other words, in the above-mentioned Fig. 10.1a to 10.1h show that a spring-loaded damping device can also be provided for anchoring the end of the tension element 3 to the shaft 12, which, when the dead center position of the flywheel 13 is reached, enables a damping movement of the tension element required against the force of the energy accumulator. For this purpose, the pin or wedge 81 is provided and pressure-loaded by the spring energy accumulator with the two compression springs 136 shown, which hold the actual pin holding the tension element end in its initial position with a stop against the tension direction F. When tensile forces F are introduced onto the tension element and the flywheel is set in rotation, the described pin 81 or an equivalent device is then displaced in the direction of arrow F by the tensile force F against the force of the spring of the spring energy accumulator 135 when the dead center position is reached, which ultimately dampens the "jerk" or "shock" generated when the dead center position is reached.Based on the . Fig. 10.2a to 10.2d show that the opposite ends of the shaft 12 can also be mounted by means of a bayonet fitting, for example on the housing or an internal support structure, rather than by using nuts or bolts screwed into or onto the end faces.

[0038] In addition, this variant shows a wedge-shaped recess KA, which in the cross-sectional view according to Fig. 10.2c extends in the tensile direction F in a wedge shape or with converging surfaces, into which the stop-limited pin or wedge 81 can be inserted, which, when the tension element is subjected to tensile stress, is held compressed in this wedge-shaped recess, particularly in the form of a tension band. Preferably, the end of the tension cable or the end of the strap is looped around this pin or wedge 81, so that the loop is held compressed on the two opposite contact sides of the wedge-shaped, tapered recess.

[0039] Based on the drawings according to the Fig. Figures 10.3a to 10.3g show a foldable wedge device 81.1 for securing the tension element 3 in the wedge-shaped recess KA in the shaft 12.2. As mentioned, the end of the webbing is wrapped around this foldable wedge device 81.1, with the two legs of the foldable wedge device 81.1 extending toward the tapered receiving space.

[0040] The Fig. 10.4a to 10.4f show the above-mentioned foldable wedge device 81.1 with the belt end surrounding it, which is inserted into the corresponding recess KA. THE SUITCASE

[0041] Based on the Fig. 32b, Fig. 32c as well as 32d and 32e it is explained how the case 61 explained with reference to the previous figures with the two case halves 62a and 62b can still be used.

[0042] The illustration shows Fig. 32b the already described case 61 with the two case halves 62a, 62b in the opened position, namely with reproduction of its inside, whereas by Fig. 32c shows the unfolded suitcase with its two suitcase halves 62a, 62b, in a plan view of its top and outside.

[0043] Based on Fig. 32d is a cross-sectional view along line AA of Fig. 32b. The Fig. 32d circular framed section is based on Fig. 32e shown in an enlarged view.

[0044] These examples demonstrate that the unfolded case can be placed, for example, on a floor surface, with an anchoring section of the force module 1 being attached to its top or outer side in its central region. In other words, one can then stand on the two outer sides of the case halves 62a, 62b, whereby the two case halves are weighted down by one's own body weight and held securely to the ground. In addition, a stop limit is provided so that the two case halves are held in their open position when the anchoring section is inserted.

[0045] Since the case 61, i.e. also the case halves 62a and 62b, is / are preferably made of lightweight plastic material or foam material, it is provided for this case that the outer surfaces 212a and 212b of the two case halves 62a, 62b are provided with a corresponding force-absorbing hard plate (for example made of hard plastic or wood or metal, etc.) so that the case halves cannot be damaged in the described use when a person stands with both feet on the unfolded case halves in order to train in the strength module 1.

[0046] The force module is fixed inside the unfolded hard plates 212, using the reinforcement elements 211. The ergonomic handle

[0047] For a balanced, comfortable, and ergonomic contact with the hand, the outer end of the tension element 3 is connected to a unique handle, which can be ring-shaped or linear (straight), but also as known in the art. Other types of handles are also possible. For this application, a handle is chosen where the tension element is wound to the desired length within the handle, e.g., on a spool with the help of a tensioned ribbon / coil spring (see also Fig. 21 24). However, the described handle and / or the coupling explained in this context, as well as other parts of the handle, can also be used in completely different ways, e.g. with completely different sports or training equipment.

[0048] The fastening or loosening of the belt is carried out, for example, by operating a button or pivoting lever 5 which is mounted on the handle.

[0049] The handle functions similarly or can be a “belt-retractable leash,” as described, for example, in US patent 7,168,393, where the length of the belt can be continuously adjusted.

[0050] Control switches, knobs, or potentiometers for adjusting rotational energy, lighting, or sound (displaying all training data) could be placed on the handlebar. Control information would be provided remotely or via electrical cables installed in the traction elements.

[0051] To ensure optimal use of the device, a special handle is used, as shown in the Fig. 21 and Fig. 22 or as in the Fig. 21 to 24 or 86 to 88 are preferably used. Such a handle 4 allows the strength training device to be used with one or both hands, whereby the pulling / training force is always applied in a "centered" manner. The handle 4 has two side handles 40, a center handle / central handle 41, and a "center curve" 44, which provides the connection to the pulling element 3. The connection of the handle 4 to the pulling element 3 is created with the aid of a coupling 5. To optimize ergonomics, recesses 42 and 43 were provided, which allow for better adaptation to the index and middle fingers.

[0052] Another design of this novel handle, with applications in many other areas, is in the Fig. 23 to 24. This represents a "modular" design of the handle and also includes a spool 59 for winding a tension element to effect its length change.

[0053] Of course, you can also create unique handles by combining different elements shown and described, such as by placing the coupling in Fig. 87 to 89 are shown, on the middle handle 41 ( Fig. 23) and by using the handle from Fig. 23 and Fig. 23a in the wrong direction, etc.

[0054] The Fig. Figures 23 to 24 show a modular handle in a partial perspective view. In this embodiment, the side handles 40 are mounted on a tube 93. The tube 93 can rotate within a guide in the central arch 44 and can be secured against rotation with the aid of pins or the like, thus determining the length of the tension element 3. The tension element 3 winds up within the spool 92.

[0055] Based on the Fig. 24a to 24c show a simplified or only schematically illustrated housing 20 for the force module 1 with an anchoring section 358 preferably rearwardly facing the tension opening for the tension element 3. This anchoring section 358 can, for example, as shown in FIG. Fig. 70, Fig. 71, Fig. 72, Fig. 72a and Fig. 73, ultimately be used to form, for example, a vertical pivot axis for attachment to an adapter, which in turn can be attached to a fixed wall, post or the like.

[0056] Based on the Fig. 24a to 24c now show a simplified representation of a force module 1 with associated anchoring section 358 or 58 (which, for example, as in Fig. 73 may consist of a hollow cylinder). As described, the force module can ultimately be mounted in a variety of places using a mounting module 2, in particular in a fixed position, and if necessary in a pivotable position. In the variant according to Fig. 24a to 24c, on the other hand, handle sections 4a and 4b are inserted and / or fastened to the anchoring section 358 on the two opposite end faces, for example, by means of a screw connection. This makes it possible, for example, for two people to train together with such a device, with one person holding the power module via the two handles 4a, 4b, which is pivotable about a central axis running between the two handles 4a, 4b through the preferably hollow-cylindrical anchoring section 358 or 58, respectively, while the second person, as usual, sets the flywheel masses in corresponding rotation using a handle attached to the end of the tension element 3. The suitcase

[0057] The strength device 1 with the associated handle 4 can be stored particularly advantageously and inexpensively in a case specially adapted for the training device, as shown in Fig. 31 and Fig. 32 as well as 31a and 31b, wherein the handle 4, in the packaged state, simultaneously serves as the handle for the entire unit comprising the power tool and packaging. This case 61 can be cut / cast / pressed / carved from foam, Styrofoam, cardboard, wood, etc., wherein the half-sections or case halves (or case box and case lid) 62a and 62b can even be designed identically. In this respect, there are no fundamental restrictions either with regard to the materials used or to the shape. What is special about the embodiment shown is that the case itself preferably does not have its own "handle", but that the handle of the device simultaneously serves as the handle for the entire case. In other words, the carrying function of the packaged device is taken over by the inserted handle 4, which protrudes and projects outwards with its central handle 41.Another special feature of the design is the recess (the hole 60), through which the mask 8 becomes visible. This recess could also be formed by a transparent window or by a continuous, preferably transparent, wall section of the case material. - Power sleeves (body cuffs) for various body parts

[0058] The force exerted during training is often exerted almost exclusively through the hands.

[0059] Most weight machines are equipped with weights that are moved or lifted using handles or levers, cords, or straps. The only contact surface between the human body and the weights is usually the palm of the hand. All other body parts are only indirectly stressed "from within" through the contractions of the muscles, tendons, and bone connections and pathways.

[0060] The invention allows all other parts of the body to be directly stressed, whereby the training force is transferred directly to different parts of the body through the so-called “power shells” (as in Fig. 76 to 81 shown).

[0061] When using the training device according to the invention, the following steps or method steps developed by the inventor can preferably be taken into account, namely: Apply organic cream to the skin or the cover and massage it into the skin using kinetic movements.

[0062] Observation: The inside of the hand / palm hardly develops any or all wrinkles until old age, in contrast to the outside of the hand (outer palm / back of the hand), which develops wrinkles very quickly. The soles of the feet also don't develop wrinkles, unlike the back of the feet. Frequent massages using our invention would free these body parts (including the face and décolleté) of wrinkles and delay the onset of wrinkles (age spots) and diseases (skin, circulatory, etc.).

[0063] It can also be noted that cancer rarely occurs in the inner part of the hand / palm or on the sole of the foot (due to stress, massage, etc., these parts of the body are better supplied with blood, and sweating makes the skin cleaner and more elastic even into old age).

[0064] The figures shown in the drawings Fig. The power sleeves (or body cuffs)200 shown in Figures 76 to 81 preferably consist of textile-like fabrics, which may be padded with other materials such as foam or gel and which can envelop various parts of the body (as for example in Fig. 76 and Fig. 77 is shown) and are connected to a strength device 1, e.g. via a handle 4 or directly via pulling elements 3 which are preferably removable with the aid of couplings.

[0065] A power sleeve 200 preferably consists of a flexible but rather firm, less elastic sleeve 201, which can be applied to a body part 205 and which is or can be attached preferably by means of a hook-and-loop fastener 203.

[0066] The connection to the connecting element / coupling 206 is established via connecting elements 204 permanently attached to the casing 201, either according to the prior art or by means of a coupling 5 as described. The connecting element 206 (for example, a clamp 5) establishes the connection to the tension element 3.

[0067] A scaled surface can be attached to the overlapping area of ​​the shell 201, where the user can track their progress, for example, in weight loss. Vibration motors, magnets, or heating / cooling elements can also be incorporated into the shell 201.

[0068] By rotating the force envelope around the body part 205, the user can determine the direction of the load. Particularly large-area or asymmetrically combined force envelopes cannot be rotated, but they have several connections 204 and 206 around the circumference, through which the tensile forces can be applied at one or several points simultaneously.

[0069] Training a body part with the help of connected force sleeves 200 is achieved by exerting a tensile force on device 1. During this phase, the respective body part is pushed to the side opposite the tensile force. At the "dead point" (where the flywheels change direction of rotation), no force is applied for a short time, allowing the stressed contact surface of the body to relax.

[0070] During the initial training phase, pressure is preferably applied to the body, compressing the skin, muscles, nerves, and lymphatic vessels. The pressure on the vessels will act like a peristaltic pump, provided that a release phase follows the pressure.

[0071] During the relaxation phase, the stressed parts of the body are relieved, so that one could say that "pulsating, similar to sinusoidal stress cycles" take place. These have a very positive effect on the body because more blood can pulsate to the finest veins. The lower layers of the skin are also supplied with blood and, due to the rhythmic-cyclical stress, become elastic and wrinkle-free (like the palm of the hand).

[0072] This constant, natural strain is also the reason why the palm remains wrinkle-free and smooth well into old age, unlike the palm, for example, which is hardly used at all and thus begins to wrinkle at a younger age. Body parts that are less used become fatty, prone to spots, inelastic, and wrinkled. Examples include the (double) chin, the back of the hand, the back of the upper arms, the upper inner thighs, the upper chest, etc.

[0073] By using the power sleeves and pulsating strength training, body parts can be styled in a targeted manner.

[0074] The power sleeves can preferably be heated with built-in and / or sewn-in electrically conductive textiles.

[0075] The power enclosures can also accommodate vibrating elements such as motors with eccentrically mounted masses on the rotor or conductive electrodes for electrotherapy or training. The current can come from built-in rechargeable batteries or batteries, but also from external power lines.

[0076] In the Fig. Figures 78 to 81 depict various body parts where a power sleeve can be used or applied. This shows that power sleeves can be created and applied for individual muscles or body segments, such as thighs, upper arms, and knees, but also for combinations of larger areas, such as upper arms, shoulders, and chest, or abdomen, buttocks, and thighs.

[0077] In this regard, express reference is made to the accompanying figures, including to the individual parts, shapes, mounting positions of individual parts, or relationships between parts that can be seen in the figures, including the shape, size, and position of the force envelopes, which clearly show how the parts are formed, arranged, or related to one another. In this respect, a written description is at least partially omitted.

[0078] Additional components that cause additional loads can also be attached to body parts via lateral couplings 207. These loads can also be "vibrations," generated, for example, by the oscillation of an eccentric shaft. Sensors, accessories, electronics, controls

[0079] A variety of sensors can be installed in or on the device, either simultaneously or selectively: a speed sensor (such as a Hall sensor) and / or a force sensor for measuring the tensile force exerted on the tension element 3. The force sensor can be installed, for example, at one end of the tension band or in the handle 4.

[0080] Here is the list of sensors that can be installed in or on the device as needed (distributed to all components and / or modules as needed): Accelerometer or accelerometer (to measure the acceleration / deceleration of the wheel (discs)), fingerprint sensor, gyro sensor, geomagnetic sensor, hall sensor (for measuring the speed of the flywheel 13), light sensor, RGB light sensor, speaker, “Siri” or other voice recognition software, Touch ID fingerprint sensor, barometer, proximity sensor, GPS sensor / location locator, thermometer, motion sensors, infrared sensor. Additional functions

[0081] In addition, additional functions can also be implemented within the scope of the invention, which are briefly listed below: Theft sensors / locator, heart rate monitor, blood pressure monitor, own display for the control, emergency signal transmitter with the push of a button (geolocation + standard message to specified recipients in an emergency), “screen mirroring” function = share the screen of your device with another device, mobile hotspot = connect to another device that has internet access in order to get internet access yourself, data exchange with other devices, alarm system that sounds very loudly in an emergency.

[0082] The device can also be connected to the Internet so that users can network using their devices attached to the device (or near the device) to train together, live stream, etc. This includes an Internet cable connection, mobile box, USB stick, stationary box, Bluetooth sensor, payment service connection.

[0083] A battery is connected to the device or a power source connection is essential. Accessories for the strength training device

[0084] Hob, liquid warmer, fan heater, hairdryer, juicer / juicer, blender, grinder, chopper, heating element, water pump, air pump, air blower, basically all electronic and / or non-electronic devices needed in a household.

[0085] For the Do it Yourself (DIY) area: grinder, drilling, with elastic power cable, for example for engraving.

[0086] Light with daylight wavelengths is known to interrupt the release of the depressant hormone melatonin. Our device incorporates illuminated or luminous parts or surfaces that motivate exercise and have a positive psychological effect.

[0087] The electronically evaluated sensor signals can be perceived, for example, as light columns on the housing or as sound via loudspeakers that are built into or mounted on the housing 20.

[0088] The housing can be covered with electroluminescent film (EL film for short), also known as luminescent film, light film, or capacitor light film. EL film is a technical application of electroluminescence for converting electrical energy into light.

[0089] The energy for the EL foil can come from an external source or from a power generator installed in the housing or from a battery, accumulator, etc.

[0090] With the help of a processor, the mass moment of inertia can be evaluated and automatically adjusted based on the specified body weight or for a preset training plan. Data entry and device control are carried out via displays that are attached directly to the housing 20 or to the mounting module 2 using various couplings shown. The device is preferably controlled via an app (software application) for smartphones or tablets, and device users are connected via the internet. This allows them to train together, follow training sessions and demonstrations, etc.

[0091] One possible application for the strength training device according to the invention can be its use as a training device for cosmonauts in space, whose muscles have a tendency to atrophy due to weightlessness.

[0092] Training with the help of conventionally constructed training devices, which require the muscles to be activated by masses subjected to gravitational forces, seems less sensible and effective, because the masses have no weight in zero gravity. Hauling tens of kilograms of weight into space would be an extremely costly undertaking, as every gram of useful cargo, such as research equipment and materials, would be precisely balanced. Our solution is quite simple: The device, including the housing, shaft, etc., should be made of very lightweight materials. Not even the flywheel masses need to be heavy: they can be constructed from hollow shells / disks with separate interiors, which would later be filled with liquid waste such as urine in space and then sealed. Our device would function in space just as it does on Earth and would have the same effect on the body as it does on Earth! power generator

[0093] Based on the Fig. 33, Fig. 34 and Fig. 35 shows various representations of the power module 1, partly in a disassembled view, which is equipped with a generator device through which electricity can be generated. Further details are shown in Fig. 36 and Fig. 37. The basic design is such that a power generator, for example a radial power generator 52, is mounted on or at the housing 20, i.e., is fixed thereto or is part of the housing, which can then be set in rotation together with the flywheels and / or the shaft 12 and is set in rotation during training. Reference numeral 53 designates the housing of the power generator 52. Furthermore, a power storage device or accumulator is provided, which is indicated in the drawings by reference numeral 54 (or the housing of such a power storage device or accumulator).

[0094] Fig. Figure 36 shows the power device according to the invention, which is constructed and functions like a "pancake" or "sandwich" generator. The (neodymium) magnets of a "rotor" are mounted on a flywheel 13, and the wound coils 64 of a "stator" are mounted on the housing 20.

[0095] Fig. 37 shows the power device according to the invention in a Fig. 36 different perspective representation.

[0096] The training device or the device in general can also function and / or be used as a power generator by converting one or more flywheel masses 13 into the "rotor" of a power generator by fitting them with (preferably neodymium) permanent magnets. The "stator" of the generator is attached to the fixed housing by installing corresponding "coils" 64. Likewise, the generator can also be placed inside the strength training device, ie inside the housing, as described in the Fig. 38 and Fig. 39. The electricity that results as "waste" from training can be used for a variety of purposes!

[0097] In the Fig. 38 and Fig. 38a and Fig. Figure 38b shows a different design of the device, with an emphasis on power generation. Very relevant is that the flywheel(s) 13, which are fixed to the shaft 12, can rotate in a specific direction and can be operated at a nearly constant rotational speed by the tensile force exerted by the tension element 3. This is made possible by the installation of element 94 (one-way freewheel bearing) on ​​the shaft 12, which functions like a ball bearing but can only rotate in one direction. It is rigid in the opposite direction and can transmit torque.

[0098] This element (partially designated with reference numeral 65 and partly with reference numeral 94) can, of course, be replaced with another element that can only transmit torque in one direction (such as the rear / drive wheel of a bicycle). In this case, the design will be different, in particular more voluminous. Element 65, i.e., the ball bearing shown in the drawings, allows free rotation in one direction, whereas, upon rotation in the opposite direction, the flywheel masses are driven and driven by the drive connection. It is also possible to provide a so-called freewheel bearing (for example, a "sprag clutch bearing") on element 94, whereby a rotational movement in one direction is freely possible, and a rotational movement of the bearing in the other direction, in turn, exerts a torque on the flywheel. A special coil 66 (see [Fig. 1]) is used for this purpose. Fig. 74) is installed, whereby the tension element 3 is wound up in the "upper" part and is fastened in a suitable manner, for example, at point 67. The spiral or spring band 68 or 96 is installed under the coil 66. As also shown in Fig. 74, the spiral spring 68 / 69 is fixed at one end to the spool at position 69 (fixed inside the spool) and at the other end to the housing 20, which is stationary relative to it, on the protruding “tongue” 71. An additional task of the tongue 71 is to maintain a distance from the special freewheel bearing 65. Due to the fact that the inner ring of the special ball bearing 65 rotates and the housing / tongue 71 is fixed and, in addition, a certain pressure contact is necessary to stabilize the position of the special ball bearing 65 which carries the spool construction 66 and 68, frictional heat develops in the contact area, which could, for example, cause the housing 20 / 71 to melt (if it is made of plastic).To prevent this, one or more special spacers 72 are installed between 71 and 65. These spacers allow contact between the parts with reference numerals 65 and 71 and simultaneously represent a "thermal barrier" for heat transfer toward 71. These are "special" because they are made of a heat-resistant yet low-friction material, such as (PolyTetraFluorEthylene) PTFE / Teflon.

[0099] Furthermore, the generator's "rotor," which also serves as a flywheel, is attached to shaft 12. Although an additional flywheel in a power generator might seem like a disadvantage at first glance—for example, the entire device becomes heavier due to successive / alternative / irregular manual operation—this flywheel becomes a speed regulator: the larger the flywheel, the more stable the speed. This speed is precisely measured, for example, by installing a (Hall) sensor, shown on a display, and the person exercising / generating power can adjust their (pulling) force to achieve a certain speed, which can also be converted into a certain current strength, or to achieve a certain goal (such as charging a power battery, lighting a room, sending an emergency signal, preparing food by cooking, frying, chopping, etc.).

[0100] In Fig. 38, the "rotor" is constructed as a coherent "ensemble," consisting of the flywheel 13 and the magnet holder 73 (such as a resin-like mass in which the magnets are fixed or cast), and the (neodymium) permanent magnets 63 and 74, respectively. Technologically, the assembly is simplified by integrating the magnets 74 into a holder (made of non-magnetic materials) that resembles parts 13 and 73. This assembly will also work because the magnets 74 have a high density and, as a whole, function like a "flywheel."

[0101] The “coil” of the power generator is in Fig. 38 is installed in the housing 20 or in the cover 20.1, whereby Fig. 38 several coils 64 are provided, which can be cast in, glued on, etc.

[0102] As in Fig. 38 and Fig. As shown in Figure 39, the shaft 12 can have a coupling 76 at one (or both) ends for coupling the existing generator to another "generator." This allows several people to exercise and generate power simultaneously, and allows the generated power to be connected in parallel or series to achieve a specific target.

[0103] The coupling 76 can be made according to the state of the art or as in Fig. 38, wherein it has a central recess 78 in which (if a coupling to further devices is to be carried out) a centering pin 79 can be inserted in order to fix several shafts 12 to one another with respect to several coupled devices, i.e. to connect them to one another, specifically by centering the individual shafts to one another.

[0104] In other words, Fig. 38 shows another design of the device according to the invention, wherein the special feature is that the flywheel(s) 13 cannot rotate back and forth, i.e., alternately in both directions (like a yo-yo), but only in one direction at a nearly constant rotational speed. This is possible with the help of a mechanism that is installed on the shaft 12 and functions as follows: the power element 1 is constructed as before, with the difference that the pulling force is not transmitted directly to the shaft 12 but to a coil 95, which is mounted on a one-way bearing 94. At the same time, the coil is attached to the outer diameter of the spiral spring 96. The inner end of the spiral spring 96 is fixed to the housing 20. By pulling the pulling element 3 in one direction, first the coil, then the freewheel bearing 94, then the shaft 12, and finally the flywheel(s) 13 (with the neodymium magnets = rotor of a "pancake power generator") are caused to rotate.The large masses 13 ensure a nearly constant speed. The stator coils 64 are attached to the fixed housing 20. Current is induced by the rotation.

[0105] Regarding the construction, as in Fig. 38, it should be noted that the housing 20 is constructed differently than in the other embodiments shown, with an "inner part of the housing" enclosing the coil 95. This construction is applicable to both "conventional" power modules 1 and power modules for power generators and is in Fig. 39 is presented in more detail.

[0106] Finally, Fig. 39 the force module according to the invention with the housing 20, which is arranged around the coil 97.

[0107] Furthermore, Fig. 40, which shows a variant for mounting the strength device 1 according to the invention on a rod 82 (namely in side view).

[0108] In Fig. Figure 41 shows a perspective view of the mounting of the strength device 1 on a rod 82. In both variants, the rod is inserted within the cylindrical holding area 58 of the half-housing 20. The height is adjusted using a ring-like stopper 83, for example, which can be secured with a fixing screw 84.

[0109] The Fig. 42 to 46 show a variant for fastening the power device 1 according to the invention by means of a fastening adapter 85, which can be attached to door frames or wall ends (in this case Fig. 42 to 46 the mounting adapter 85 is shown in different views). With the adapter 85 the force module 1 is attached to a door frame or to a free wall end, as shown in Fig. 47 to 50. The mounting adapter 85, like the mounting module 2, has a variety of coupling options, which, however, are not shown in these drawings.

[0110] In the Fig. Figures 47 to 50 show the attachment of the force module 1 to a door frame 89 or to a free wall end. Using mounting holes 111, an adapter can be attached directly to a wall, e.g., using screws.

[0111] In the Fig. Figures 51 to 55 show the fastening of the force module 1 according to the invention to a wall using an assembly with a board 99. The base or board 99 is preferably fastened to a wall, for example, using screws. The force module 1 is attached to the board 99 via the fastening adapter 101. The fastening adapter 101 (which can be constructed similarly or identically to the previously described adapter 87), like the fastening module 2, has a variety of coupling options.

[0112] In Fig. Figures 56 to 61 depict guide mask 102, which represents a further development of guide mask 7. A key feature is its more solid construction, which inhibits vibrations and reduces noise. Furthermore, the tension element 3 between the guide walls 105 ensures smooth winding without contacting the flywheels 13, secures the two half-housings 20 with the help of the guide pins 103 and the magnets 104, serves a protective function by preventing finger access to the rotating flywheels 13, and also serves a design function.

[0113] The Fig. Figures 62 to 66 represent a further developed variant of the mounting adapter 85, which allows for more versatile use, shown in different views. In other words, a variant is discussed below that concerns the universal mounting module, with which the force module 1 can be mounted both on a wall (as in the Fig. 51 to 55) as well as on a door frame (as shown in the Fig. 57 to 60) can be attached or mounted, and generally can be supported. The following elements are particularly important: - the support surface 86 is provided with a possibly removable anti-slip and / or anti-vibration layer 107, which can be additionally raised 108 in the force application area 87 (necessary for fastening), - the important thing is that this results in a universal mounting module that can be used both for attaching the force module 1 to a wall and in Fig. 51 to 55, as well as for mounting on a door frame, as shown in Fig. 47 to 50, is suitable, - it increases the pivotability of the power module, through the taper 110 in the holder 88, - the mounting holes 111 allow for direct attachment to a wall / surface.

[0114] This mounting adapter 109, like the mounting modules 2 and 85, has a variety of coupling options, which are not shown in these drawings.

[0115] In the case that the adapter 109 is used for a preferably direct and thus fixed (by screwing) wall mounting, the remaining free zone 87 is covered by the mask 112. This mask 112 also has a variety of coupling options, which, however, are not fully illustrated in these drawings.

[0116] In the Fig. 67 to 69, the universal fastening module 109, the cover mask 112 and the force module 1 are shown in different views.

[0117] In the Fig. 70 to 73, a housing is shown, wherein the cylindrical segment 58 is hollow inside. This allows for attachment and fastening to a rod, as in Fig. 40 and Fig. 41. To make this housing more universal, the cover plug 113 was designed, which is attached to the cylindrical portion 58 by a dedicated coupling (such as a bayonet, thread, etc.). Furthermore, this plug 113, like the mounting modules 2, 85, and 106, has a variety of coupling options, which, however, are not or only partially illustrated in these drawings.

[0118] In Fig. 74 shows a power module 1 that has been converted into a power generating module. The construction is very similar to that shown in the Fig. 33 to 39, but with the difference that the previously described and thus simpler housing 20 is used. The operation is similar to that in Fig. 38 described. In Fig. 74, the zone "beneath" the spiral spring 96, where the extension / tongue 71 of the non-rotating housing 20 (necessary for attachment to the spiral spring) meets the rotating inner diameter of the one-way freewheel bearing 94, is more clearly visible. Rotation generates friction and heat. To prevent melting or destruction of the housings, one or more thermally and friction-resistant discs 114 were installed here (between 20 and 94). This design can be circumvented by replacing the tubular extension / tongue of the housing 20, which is necessary for attaching the spiral spring 96 to itself, with a real, preferably separate tube (which is also friction- and thermally resistant).

[0119] Fig. 75 is similar to Fig. 7, with the difference that the guide element 7 has been replaced by the guide mask 102.

[0120] In Fig. Figure 76 illustrates the basic principle of a force sleeve 200. A force sleeve is made of a flexible but difficult-to-stretch material, such as a textile material, which can also be "breathable." The body sleeve 201 surrounds the relevant body part and overlaps it in the area 202. This overlap is preferably provided with a "Velcro fastener" 203 to attach the sleeve to the body part 205. Instead of a "Velcro fastener," another coupling option can of course be used. The force is applied to the force sleeve via a "connecting sleeve" 204, which is firmly tied (if necessary along the entire "height") to the body sleeve 201. The (preferably two separate) lateral connecting sleeves are attached to a coupling 206, which in turn is connected to the traction element 3. By exerting a traction force F, the body part positioned opposite the exerting force is stressed.

[0121] In Fig. 78 to 81 show (in solid black) different types of force shells that protect individual body parts ( Fig. 78 to 79) such as forehead, chin, chest, upper arm, forearm, hip belt, hand, thigh, calves, feet, neck, shoulder, elbow joint, abdomen, knee joint, ankle joint or larger body areas (as in the Fig. 80 and Fig. 81 shown).

[0122] In the Fig. 82, 82a to 82d show a wall adapter for mounting the strength training device according to the invention. The wall adapter 116 can be attached to a wall at its upper and lower ends, for example, by means of screws, for which purpose corresponding holes 118 are provided. These holes provided at the upper and lower ends of the adapter 116 can be closed by attachable wall adapter masks 117, so that the screws used for fastening are then not visible.

[0123] In Fig. 83 and 83a to 83d is a wall adapter with which the Fig. 13 to 16 shown and described fastening module in the form of a universal adapter in various representations. Fig. 84a to 84d, which show an adapter 121, for example with a support 123, which can be mounted on the strength training device, preferably at different locations.

[0124] The support 123 is also referred to below as the rear support 123, which comprises a rear wall 123' and a base, base support, or base support 124, which is preferably provided with an upwardly projecting edge 124a spaced at least partially from the rear wall 123'. The front side of the rear wall 123' is designated by the reference numeral 123a, and the rear side of the rear wall 123' is designated by the reference numeral 123b.

[0125] This support 123 is preferably provided with a coupling part 122 projecting downwards, via which this support 123 can be attached to the housing 20 or to the housing frame 141 of the force module 1, for example by means of a pin or a hinge coupling 6.

[0126] For example, a mobile phone, a smartphone or a tablet 121b can be placed on this support, so that it is possible to use the power module 1 to simultaneously make phone calls and / or view photos, select and listen to music, view photos and / or films or even record and / or transmit or save current videos via the connected mobile phone.

[0127] A recess 125 provided in the rear wall 123' also serves this purpose, which recess is preferably of such a position and / or size that a camera is freely positioned above it and can take pictures.

[0128] Based on the Fig. 84a to 84d the support 123 is shown in perspective in various side views.

[0129] Based on the Fig. 85a to 85f show a comparable support 123, which also serves, for example, to deposit and secure a mobile phone device, in particular a cell phone or a tablet 124b etc., so that this mobile phone device or tablet can also be used during use of the force module 1.

[0130] The Fig. The support 123 shown in various representations in Figures 85a to 85f differs by a different coupling part, which, instead of a more tubular coupling part 122 provided in the previous figures at the lower area of ​​the support 123, has a coupling part 127 formed on the rear side 123b of the rear wall 123', which is designed more than semicircular in plan view and can therefore be plugged in a snap-on or locking manner onto a corresponding bar-like section of the housing or housing frame of the force module.

[0131] In the variant according to Fig. 85a to 85f is therefore a support 123, which can also be referred to as a "rotatable adapter" or "rotatable or twistable or pivotable support." The rotation occurs because the side walls of the element 124 engage the housing 20 of the force module, as shown in Fig. 86 can be seen, and is thus carried along by its rotational movement.

[0132] The following will be Fig. 86a to 86c, which show an embodiment of the force module 1 according to the invention, with an exemplary wall adapter 116 and associated wall adapter end part 117 (which are shown here only as examples and which can also be designed completely differently), wherein three mobile radio devices 121b are shown, which are pivotally mounted on the force module 1 at various points using the described coupling parts 122 or are at least indirectly attached to the stationary wall adapter 116 or wall adapter end part 117 using the described coupling part 127 and are thus also partially pivoted when the module is pivotable about the pivot axis of the force module, so that the alignment is maintained according to the wall adapter 116 / 117.

[0133] In other words, the Fig. 86a to 86c show three differently designed connecting pieces 123 that are mounted at various locations on the force module 1, either movable with it, pivotable with it, or detachably mounted on the stationary adapter part. Even when pivoted, the force modules 1 are partially pivoted. Different mobile devices and / or tablets 121, etc., are shown here only as examples, which are placed in and held by the various supports. This illustration serves only as an example to illustrate the different variants.

[0134] The following refers to the Fig. 87a to 87d, whereby the Fig. 87d the in Fig. 87a shows an enlarged view of the circular section shown.

[0135] These figures show a coupling by means of which a respective tension element 3 (in particular a band or a belt 3) can be fixed accordingly, ie fastened.

[0136] This fastening serves to fasten the strap 3, for example, to the handle 4, in particular to its middle or central arch 44. With regard to the structure of a corresponding handle, reference is made to the preceding figures, which show various variants of such a handle in detail.

[0137] The exemplary embodiments for fastening a tension element or belt explained below with reference to the drawings are of significance in themselves and can also be used as an inventive solution in the context of completely different devices or applications.

[0138] Within the scope of the invention, the fastening of the belt 3 is preferably carried out using a stopper 129, which is preferably designed as a wedge 129.

[0139] This stopper 129 or wedge 129 is used to releasably fasten the tension element end 3', in particular a belt end 3', to the handle using the mentioned stopper or wedge 129.

[0140] In the following, we will focus on the Fig. 88a to 88c, which provide details in a larger format.

[0141] In particular from Fig. The overall structure can be seen in 88c.

[0142] For this purpose, the coupling device comprises an inner body 130 with an out-of-contact surface 130a and with a recess 130b which is preferably at least partially adapted to the stopper or wedge 129, into which recess 130b the stopper or wedge 129 is ultimately drawn further into the recess 130b when the tension element 3 is loaded in the tension direction F, and as a result the belt end 3' is ultimately compressed in a press fit between the outer surface 129a of the stopper or wedge 129 and the inner surface 130b of the inner body 130. The compression occurs because the diameter of the stopper or wedge 129 ultimately has a diameter or thickness extension which no longer allows further retraction into the spacing space for receiving the stopper or wedge 129, which in the illustrated embodiment tapers in the tension direction F.

[0143] In the Fig. 88a to 88c the belt end 3' is shown in the fixing position.

[0144] To adjust and / or thread or remove the tension element end 3', the coupling outer sleeve 128 would have to be adjusted relative to the inner body 130 according to the arrow 128a until the coupling outer sleeve 128 moves from the position shown in Figure 88c to the position shown in Fig. 89c shown opening position is adjusted.

[0145] In other words, in the fixed position, a clearance AR is formed between the end face 130a of the inner body 130 and the opposite end face 128b of the coupling outer sleeve 128. To open the coupling via the aforementioned coupling outer sleeve 128, the latter can be adjusted relative to the inner body 130 according to the arrow 128a until the inner end face 128b of the coupling outer sleeve 128 abuts the end face 130c of the inner body 130, thus eliminating the clearance AR.

[0146] It is important that the aforementioned coupling outer sleeve 128 is connected / adjusted via a screw or a bolt or another driver 132 to the stopper 129, preferably in the form of a wedge 129 tapering in the pulling direction F, relative to the inner body 130, so that the spacing surfaces between the stopper 129, in particular in the form of the wedge 129, and the inner contact surfaces of the inner body 130 have a greater distance.

[0147] Thus, the end of the tension element, preferably in the form of the webbing end 3', rests pressure-free in this space. The webbing end can now be easily pulled out, or a corresponding tension element end can be inserted through a through-hole 134 in the end wall 128b provided with the inner end face.

[0148] If a strap end 3' is guided through the through-hole 134, namely so far that the strap end 3' is placed over the loose stopper or wedge 129 and projects outwards again over the hole 134, and then starting from this opening position according to Fig. 88c the coupling outer sleeve 128 in the arrow representation 128a is adjusted in the pulling direction F of the pulling element 3, the stopper 129 or the wedge is also moved by the Fig. 88c shown opening position into the Fig. 88c shown closed position, so that the Fig. 89c, the distance AS between the contact or pressure surfaces between the stopper or wedge outer surfaces and the inner surfaces of the inner body 130 is overcome and the tension element end is held pressed in between these surfaces.

[0149] In order to be able to adjust the coupling outer part or the coupling outer sleeve 128 relative to the coupling inner body 130, the outer contact surface 130a on the inner body and the cooperating inner surface 133c of the coupling sleeve 128 are aligned axially and are of congruent shape, for example flat, cylindrical, etc., so that the coupling outer side 128 on the inner body 130 can be adjusted in the longitudinal direction in a slide-like manner by means of a guide 131 formed in this way.

[0150] As shown, the cross-sectional representation of the stopper 129 is preferably designed in the form of a wedge tapering in the pulling direction F and the corresponding receiving space for the stopper or wedge 129 is also adapted accordingly to the cross-sectional shape of this stopper.

[0151] This allows for easy and convenient attachment and / or replacement of a corresponding pulling element using the appropriate coupling.

[0152] The following refers to the Fig. 90a and Fig. 90c on the one hand and on the Fig. 91a to 91c.

[0153] These examples show that the force module 1 can have a housing that comprises two housing halves 20.2, wherein these housing halves 20.2 are also referred to as housing frames 141.

[0154] This housing 20 is preferably separated in a dividing plane TE running perpendicular to the axis of rotation, ie to the shaft 12, in the embodiment shown preferably by a center plane TE running perpendicular to the shaft 12.

[0155] In this case, these housing halves 20.2 can be pivoted on their rear adapter side (i.e. preferably opposite to their opening through which the tension element passes) about a pivot axis 141' from their Fig. 90a to 90c shown closed position into their position shown in the Fig. 91a to 91c, in which the two housing halves 20.2 are pivoted away from each other individually. In this pivoted position, the at least one inner flywheel is then located with the associated outer mask 8, which sandwiches the flywheel.

[0156] In the illustrated embodiments, the force module is, as described several times, attached to a fastening module 2 via a pin 6, whereby a vertical pivot axis for the force module 1 relative to a fastening module 2 is preferably realized. Furthermore, one can see from the Fig. 91a also includes the aforementioned housing frame 141, which may, for example, be flange-like and have an at least slightly angular cross-section, within which a housing side wall 142 may not only be formed but also inserted, made of a different material, which may, for example, be transparent. The preferably transparent housing side wall 142 may also be graphically designed, as is also indicated in the figures.

[0157] The fastening module 2 shown in the figures corresponds to the fastening module which is shown in the Fig. 16a to 16f and, except for the differently designed recess 30, largely corresponds to the embodiment according to the Fig. 13 to 16.

[0158] Based on the Fig. 92a and Fig. 92b shows, in extension to the above-mentioned embodiment, that areas of the force module 1 within the housing arrangement can also be used as storage space 143.

[0159] In the unfolded position according to Fig. 92a and Fig. 92b shows that one or more storage spaces 143 can be provided between the two flywheels 13 used therein, offset in the circumferential direction of the flywheels, in the space formed. This is possible because the actual tension element requires only a small receiving space around the shaft 12, even when the tension element is completely wound around the shaft 12. In other words, an outer radial space 143 remains which is exposed. This storage space 143 can, for example, be opened and closed via a cover 140 (particularly when the housing halves 20.2 are folded open), so that various utensils can also be stored here (such as ID cards, wallets, keys, etc.). There are no restrictions in this regard.

[0160] The structure of the storage space is also based on the further Fig. 93a and Fig. 93b on the one hand and the Fig. 94a and Fig. 94b on the other hand, is explained below.

[0161] The storage space can be defined or formed by a segment-like insertable storage space housing or a storage space chamber 143', which can be opened or closed via the cover or pivoting cover 140 shown running in the circumferential direction and pointing radially outwards.

[0162] In the variants described, an upper and a lower storage space 143 with a respective storage space housing 143' is provided offset in the transverse direction transversely to the band guide 144 (via which the tension band is guided out and into the housing 20) and thus in the parallel direction to the pivot axis (which is determined by the longitudinal direction of the pin 6 in the fastening module 2).

[0163] In Fig. 95, the corresponding design with the two storage spaces 143 is shown again in a cross-sectional view along the shaft 12. In the cross-sectional view according to Fig. 95 also shows a band guide 144 comprising two disc- or plate-shaped elements, wherein the disc- or plate-shaped band guide elements are offset from one another in the direction of the rotation axis and are connected relative to the shaft 12 by a spacer band guide 150 which is offset radially outwards.

[0164] The following refers to the Fig. 96a to 96g in connection with Fig. 97a and Fig. 97b received.

[0165] In this embodiment, an upper and a lower storage space 143 are again provided, as explained with reference to the previous embodiments.

[0166] In the case of Fig. The special feature of the variants shown in Figures 96a to 96g and 97a and 97b is that the individual elements shown in the other preceding exemplary embodiments, namely the two partially annular band guide sections 144a, which are spaced apart from one another in the direction of the shaft 12 and aligned parallel, as well as the inner support structure 145, the so-called base of the inner structure 147, and the spacers 148 (for the housing frame 141), are formed as a single piece. This results in an inner housing 210 with two identical inner housing sections or inner housing halves 210a, which are arranged spaced apart from one another in the direction of the shaft 12 and are fastened to one another on their side opposite the cable guide.

[0167] At the same time, these inner housing halves 210a have an internal heart-like recess 208, in which the central section around the shaft 12 becomes visible at least in a partial circumferential area (with the outer housing halves 20.2 unfolded), from which the mentioned tension element 3 extends.

[0168] This allows direct access to the central shaft 12 without major disassembly of essential parts of the force module 1 when the housing halves 20.2 are open, and, for example, to attach a new tension band 3 there. This is particularly clearly visible in the perspective view shown in Figure 97a.

[0169] For better representation, the perspective reproduction according to Fig. 96a and Fig. 96f shows only one of the two inner housing halves 210a, as they are attached to the rear spacer 148 (identical to the anchoring area 358). It is important to note that the two housing halves 210 and the two housing frames 141 are identical.

[0170] The following refers to the Fig. 98a to 98d are discussed in order to illustrate in individual representation how the two housing halves 20.2 can be designed.

[0171] In the figures, 141 denotes the housing frame, 153 denotes the opening for the tension element 3, and 152 denotes a hinge for the housing frame 141 in order to pivot the housing half 20.2 thus formed, which, as shown, is also referred to as the housing frame or housing frame halves 142, relative to the rear holder into the closed or open position.

[0172] In Fig. 98c is a cross-sectional view along line BB of Fig. 98a.

[0173] In other words, in the Fig. 98a to 98d only show one of the two housing halves 20.2. Reference numeral 154 also shows a logo holder 154, which can be attached to the outside of at least one housing half 20.2.

[0174] Some simplified variants of the solution according to the invention are described below.

[0175] Based on the Fig. 99a to 99d show a simplified housing with an outlet opening for the tension element 3, which is provided on the opposite side with an anchoring section 358, as explained with reference to other exemplary embodiments. This anchoring section 358 is firmly connected to the housing or is an integral part of the housing 20. It is preferably provided with two opposing bores 37 in order to attach the force module 1 to corresponding adapters or fastening modules, as already explained with reference to other exemplary embodiments.

[0176] Figures 100a to 100e show how the force module can ultimately be attached to a post, tree, etc. using a fastening module 2. The fastening module 2 is connected to the force module 1 by means of corresponding pins 6, which are inserted into the aforementioned holes of the anchoring section 358, forming a pivot axis. The fastening module 2 shown can then be attached to the aforementioned fastening post using corresponding fastening straps 360.

[0177] As shown, two separate fastening straps 360 and 45 can be used, spaced apart in the direction of the pivot axis and thus offset from one another. It is also possible, in addition or as an alternative, to use only one fastening strap, preferably 360 or 45, in the middle.

[0178] In a variant according to Figures 101a to 101d, no continuous fastening module 2 extending longer in the direction of the pivot axis is provided, but rather two fastening module parts 2' spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of the pivot axis are used, which are approximately angular in design and comprise two leg sections that can be aligned at a largely arbitrary angle to one another (for example, between 45° and 135°). The two fastening modules mentioned are in turn, as explained, articulatedly connected to the anchoring section 358 of the housing 20 of the force module 1, whereby the two fastening straps 360 and 45 mentioned can be used circumferentially to enable fastening, for example, to a post 46.

[0179] In the variant according to Figures 102a to 102d, a housing 20 is shown, the two opposite housing sides of which are provided with a mounting section 362, which can, for example, be recessed in the housing surface but does not have to be.

[0180] For example, a replaceable anchoring section 358 can then be inserted into this, as shown in Figures 102a to 102d. The anchoring section 358 shown there has two fork-shaped, protruding anchoring regions 358a, with which the anchoring sections 358 thus formed can be plugged onto the housing 20 of the force module 1. The size and shape of these anchoring sections 358 can be adapted to the deepest mounting section 362. The connection can be made in the manner of a locking or clip element in order to ensure sufficient hold. For removal, the at least slightly elastic anchoring sections would then have to be bent apart from one another if necessary in order to be able to be pulled off the housing again.Preferably, however, the anchoring sections 358a also have a bore 360 ​​through which a screw can be screwed into a threaded bore 363 in the respective underlying section of the housing 20. This allows a firm connection to be established between the anchoring section 358 thus formed and the actual housing 20 of the force module 1. The attachment of a corresponding fastening module 2 is carried out as explained with reference to other exemplary embodiments.

[0181] In the variant according to Figures 103a to 103d 8 (in contrast to the exemplary embodiments described further above), the aforementioned anchoring regions 358a are longer than in the aforementioned exemplary embodiment and are not anchored, for example, via a clip or snap-in connection to a mounting portion 362 on the outer surface of the housing 20 of the force module 1, but are designed to be long and are provided, for example, with a recess 368 into which a portion or a protruding anchoring portion engages, which is ultimately connected centrally to the housing 20 and / or the rotating shaft, etc. As a result, the anchoring portion 358 can be supported directly on the housing and / or on the shaft, in particular if one or more flywheels are to be held freely running via this. In this case, the anchoring portion 358 with the protruding anchoring regions 358a would also act as a housing frame.

[0182] However, instead of the exposed flywheel masses 13 shown in the figures, a corresponding housing - as in the other embodiments - with a corresponding belt opening could be used, and at the same time have the corresponding fastening mechanism, as shown in Figures 103a to 103d.

[0183] In the variant according to Figure 103.1a to Figure 103.1d, a further modification of an embodiment of a training device without an outer housing is shown, wherein the coupling 358 for attachment to a fixed base is placed on a fork-like construction outside the flywheels.

[0184] Finally, in contrast to the aforementioned Figures 103.1a to 103.1d, a further variant according to Figures 103.2a to 103.2d is shown, in which the power module is implemented without a housing. However, instead of a fork-shaped support structure externally enclosing the two flywheels, a support structure is shown internally supporting the flywheels, which are axially offset along the shaft 12, and thus the flywheels are fully visible from the outside. In this variant, as a further example—which can also be implemented in other exemplary embodiments—only a rear, fixed anchoring section is connected to the inner support structure in order to bring the module into contact with, for example, a post, to which it can be fastened with a circumferential belt that can be passed through the slot-shaped opening 9.2 shown in the anchoring section 369.

[0185] The variant according to Figures 104a to 104e shows a modification compared to the previous embodiments 102a to 102d in that the anchoring sections 358a are simultaneously also provided with corresponding contact jaws to form a fastening module 2.
