Abstract
Description
Technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a receiving device for the elastic support of a front support of an indoor training device, in particular an indoor bicycle trainer, wherein the front support rests on the receiving device during operation. State of the art
[0002] Various solutions for supporting indoor training equipment are known in the prior art. Front supports are often rigidly placed on the floor or positioned using fixed adapter elements. However, such solutions result in a largely inflexible support, which, especially under dynamic loads, leads to increased peak forces being transferred to the floor and the training equipment. Alternatively, solutions are known in which several elastic elements are used for load distribution, arranged laterally or offset from the front support. In such arrangements, the load on the elastic elements is not borne along the main load axis of the front support, but at least partially laterally offset.
[0003] This can cause the elastic elements to deflect laterally, tilt, or deform unevenly under load, resulting in unstable support behavior. Particularly under high or dynamic loads, there is a risk that individual elastic elements may "break" laterally or lose their defined support function. Furthermore, such systems are structurally complex and require a large number of individual components. Technical problem
[0004] The invention is therefore based on the problem of providing a receiving device with which a front support of an indoor training device can be stably, definedly and reliably elastically supported, whereby in particular lateral deflection or breaking of elastic support elements is avoided.
[0005] At the same time, the recording device should be simple and compact in design and do without complex multi-component systems. Description of the invention
[0006] This problem is solved by a recording device having the features of claim 1.
[0007] The receiving device according to the invention comprises a receiving body which has a contact surface for receiving the front support. A single elastic element is arranged below the contact surface, by means of which the front support is elastically supported during operation.
[0008] The front support rests directly or indirectly on the contact surface, so that the loads occurring during operation are transferred to the elastic element via the contact surface. The elastic element is preferably subjected to predominantly vertical loads.
[0009] The elastic element can be held in a recess of the receiving body. The recess can have a retaining structure, in particular an undercut, to ensure the elastic element is positioned securely. The retaining structure serves only to position and secure the elastic element and is not essential for elastic support.
[0010] The use of a single elastic element achieves a compact, cost-effective and at the same time effective elastic support for the front support. Character description Fig. Figure 1 shows a receiving body (1) with a contact surface (1a). Below the contact surface (1a) is a receptacle into which an elastic element (2) can be inserted. Above the contact surface (1a) is a receiving or guide area (1c) into which a front support (3) can be inserted. The elastic element (2) and the front support (3) are in Fig. 1 is shown separately from the receiving body (1). The front support (3) is shown in abbreviated form in the drawing. Fig. Figure 2 shows the insertion of the elastic element (2) and the front support (3) into the receiving body (1). The receiving body has a retaining structure (1b) by which the elastic element (2) is elastically deformed during insertion, as indicated by the arrows. Fig.Figure 3 shows the assembled state of the receiving device. The elastic element (2) is arranged in the receptacle of the receiving body (1) and positioned below the contact surface (1a). The front support (3) is arranged in the receiving or guide area (1c) and rests directly or indirectly on the contact surface (1a), so that the front support (3) is elastically supported by the elastic element (2).
