Description

[0001] The invention relates to a standing board which has a variety of positive effects on health and is used for a wide variety of purposes.

[0002] Relevant prior art can be found in US 2017 / 0 361 143 A1, WO 2018 / 192 138 A1, US 2019 / 0154 115 A1, US 2018 / 0 353 789 A1, DE 94 06 778 U1.

[0003] Balance boards promote balance, strengthen various muscle groups, and promote all the positive qualities of standing, but they generally have the following disadvantages: a) a rigid base: Due to the rigid base (board) on which both feet are positioned, independent movement of the feet is not possible; and b) support of the base: Such boards are usually mounted on a movable roller or even a ball. This requires a high degree of concentration and balance, making these boards almost exclusively suitable for sporting purposes.

[0004] Based on the aforementioned balance board as the closest state of the art, the task of this task is to develop a corresponding standing board that can be used at any time without placing any specific requirements on the user.

[0005] The present invention solves the above-mentioned problem by providing a standing board with the features of independent claims 1, 5, 10 and 22.

[0006] Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the subclaims.

[0007] The standing board features a frame with an extruded aluminum profile and a mounting groove underneath. The frame allows for the installation of any number of feet and / or other accessories in any position using screw fasteners that are slidably guided along the extruded profile.

[0008] Suitable screw connection elements can be, for example, T-nuts with corresponding threaded holes. These T-nuts are slidably guided in grooves of the extruded profile. However, the basic concept of this connection also allows for the well-known possibility of achieving a screw connection between the frame and the feet comparable to the aforementioned T-nut screw connection by positioning the screw heads of the feet within the aforementioned mounting groove.

[0009] In particular, the aforementioned screw connection fixes the position of each stand foot within the aforementioned mounting groove.

[0010] The extruded profile is designed in particular as a hollow chamber profile.

[0011] The frame may have an opening that can be closed by a closure element. The closure element may be sleeve- or tube-like.

[0012] The opening to be closed by the closure element can have a circumference of approximately 20mm.

[0013] Within the scope of the present invention, closed and / or compressed rubber rope rings can be threaded onto the frame through the opening and connected to the mat using rope bolts. After the rubber rope rings have been installed, the opening can be closed with the aforementioned closure element.

[0014] Furthermore, according to the invention, the connection of the mat to the frame can be made by means of rope bolts through loops attached to the mat, and these can be elastically connected to the frame on each side by at least one rubber rope ring.

[0015] Rope bolts can be rod-shaped elements with a bearing surface for loops and two radially projecting projections arranged on the edge of the bearing surface. This serves to better position the rope bolts in relation to the rubber rope rings.

[0016] The rubber rope rings are preferably designed as loops, with a looped arch to enclose the extruded profile of the frame and two interconnected rope ends. The loop shape defines a tapered area in which the rope bolts are arranged. This eliminates the need for additional determination of the position of the rope bolts, as this is already predefined by the tapered area.

[0017] In a structurally advantageous manner, exactly two rubber rope rings are always connected to exactly one loop of the mat via exactly one rope bolt.

[0018] The rope bolts can be advantageously arranged loosely, i.e., without additional fasteners or fabric connections, in the tapered section of the loop-shaped rubber rope rings. The hold and position are provided by the pull of the loop toward the mat, which presses the rope bolt into the tapered section, which serves as a bearing seat.

[0019] The loops attached to the mat are preferably connected to the mat in a material-to-material manner, in particular glued and / or sewn to the mat.

[0020] To reduce weight, the feet can be designed as hollow profiles.

[0021] Preferably, the number of feet can be six.

[0022] In contrast to the balance board described above, the standing board according to the invention does not have a rigid base, but rather a mat held in place by elastic rope rings. The mat is held in place by several rope bolts, each of which is wrapped around two rope rings at its ends and which are wrapped around in the middle by a loop attached to the mat.

[0023] Due to a preferred application in the workplace, the mat of the standing board and / or the frame of the standing board can be oval.

[0024] Apart from the opening, which is slot-shaped, the rest of the frame, the said extruded profile, is made in one piece and is designed as a circumferential oval shape.

[0025] Furthermore, the mounting groove is designed to run all the way around the entire length of the extruded profile, i.e., apart from the slot-shaped opening.

[0026] In a further variant according to the invention, a corresponding standing board with a frame and a mat attached thereto can also have a frame component and / or a profile. According to the invention, this frame component and / or profile is fixed to the remaining frame via a connecting element. The connecting element has a receiving sleeve for inserting the ends of one or more frame profile elements, in particular extruded profiles. The receiving sleeve also has a receiving opening for inserting the frame component and / or the profile, and the receiving sleeve has a clamping piece which is movably arranged in the receiving sleeve, such that the frame component and / or the profile can be clamped in the receiving sleeve by the clamping piece.

[0027] The connecting element enables a stable connection of elements that protrude from the frame contour surrounding the mat, without significantly reducing the stability of the frame contour.

[0028] It is advantageous if the receiving sleeve has a fixing means for determining the linear movement between the receiving sleeve and one or more frame profiles of the frame 1.

[0029] The movement of the clamping piece can advantageously be triggered in an uncomplicated manner by an actuating element, wherein the actuating element is designed as a lever, a handle, a handwheel and / or a tool engagement.

[0030] A threaded rod can be provided between the respective actuating element and the clamping piece so that the threaded rod and the clamping piece can be supported on a thread arranged in the receiving sleeve.

[0031] For a defined transmission of clamping forces, it is advantageous if the clamping piece is guided in the receiving sleeve in a linearly movable manner.

[0032] It is also advantageous if the receiving sleeve has two opposite receiving openings for receiving the frame component and / or profile. This allows the insertion depth and the extent of the overhang on both sides of the frame component and / or profile to be adjusted.

[0033] Finally, the clamping piece can have one or more guide segments, each of which is adapted to the width of a hollow chamber of the extruded profile designed as a hollow chamber profile, thus enabling simple guidance without additional guide means.

[0034] The invention is explained in more detail below using an exemplary embodiment with the aid of the accompanying figures. They show: Figure 1: an isometric top view; Figure 2: an isometric view from below; Figure 3: isometric details; Fig. 4a-c: various views of a connecting element as part of the standing board according to the invention

[0035] Figure 1 shows a standing board according to the invention with a frame 1 and a mat 4, which is attached to the frame by rope rings 3. The mat is designed to be movable. The mat can, for example, be made of a sewable plastic mat. The seam to a Figure 1 The loop on the back (not shown) can be made as a thread seam, glued seam, or welded seam. Accordingly, the material of the plastic mat can be sewn, glued, and / or welded.

[0036] The frame 1 has an aluminum extruded profile 8. The extruded profile is, as can be seen from Figure 3 recognizable, designed as a hollow chamber profile. The view of the Figure 1shows the top of the standing board with the visible side of the mat 4.

[0037] Fig. 2shows the standing board from its underside. The aforementioned loops 4.1 are visible from this side. They are secured by a seam on the mat 1 4. A loop 4.1 wraps around the bearing surface 5.1 of each cable bolt 5. The bearing surface 5.1 is arranged between two radially projecting projections 5.2. Axially spaced from each of these projections 5.2, the cable bolt 5 has a further projection 5.3. Between the projections 5.2 and 5.3 is a groove for receiving and storing the cable strands of a cable ring 3 before their connection 5.4. The connection 5.4 of the cable strands with provision of the loop-shaped cable ring 5 can be achieved by a material-to-material connection or by a mechanical connection, e.g. a clamping connection, preferably by a ring clamp, in particular by a metal sleeve or by a winding.

[0038] As in Fig. 2-4As can be seen, the respective cable rings 5 ​​are not round, but loop-shaped. The tapered portion 5.5 of the cable ring before the connection 5.4 of the two cable strands of the loop-shaped cable ring 3 allows both cable strands to lie in the groove between the projections 5.2 and 5.3, thus enabling the cable ring to be axially positioned on the cable bolt. The projections 5.2 are not absolutely necessary, as the position of the cable rings 5 ​​is also made possible by the loop 4. However, the spacing between the cable ring 3 and the loop 4 by the projection 5.2 is advantageous in order to avoid load-related friction between the cable ring 3 and the loop 4.

[0039] Advantageously, exactly two rope rings 3 for connection to the frame 1 are wrapped around a single rope bolt 5, which in turn is wrapped around a single loop 4.1 and is thus connected to the mat 4.

[0040] Viewed from the bottom, the frame 1 of the standing board has a mounting groove 1.1. As can be seen in particular in Figure 3 As can be seen, the mounting groove 1.1 has an opening slot 6 and a receiving space 7 arranged in the extruded profile. The receiving space 7 has in the sectional view of the Figure 3 a greater width than the opening slot 6. This makes it possible to hold a screw connection element, e.g., a slot nut with a screw thread channel or the screw head of a screw. Without a clamping connection with a corresponding screw connection element, the screw connection element mounted in the mounting groove 1.1 is arranged to be displaceable along the longitudinal extent of the mounting groove of the extruded profile.

[0041] The screw connection element mounted in this way is Fig. 1-4connected to support feet 2. The support feet 2 are designed as hollow tubes and have a screw connection element corresponding to the screw connection element mounted in the mounting groove. This can be a plug mounted in the hollow tube with a threaded rod extension, which can form a screw connection with a T-slot nut. Alternatively, a screw connection can also be achieved by mechanical reversal, so that the T-slot nut has the threaded rod extension and the plug in the support foot has a corresponding threaded hole. The T-slot nut is merely one variant of the fastening. Similar fastening options can be achieved, for example, using screws with screw heads or the like.

[0042] The mounting groove 1.1 allows for numerous options for attaching elements to the standing board. These can include feet, for example, or alternatively, other accessories such as retaining hooks, securing rods, adapters, spacers for the rope rings, and / or other components. The possibilities are numerous and can be combined with one another.

[0043] To thread the screw fasteners into the receiving space 7 of the extruded profile of the frame 1 and, if necessary, also for threading the loop-shaped cable rings 3, the extruded profile has an interruption in the form of a slotted opening. The slotted opening 1.2 can have a width of approximately 20 mm. However, the fluctuation range of this can be up to several centimeters, e.g., up to 5 cm.

[0044] Through this opening 1.2, closed and / or compressed rubber rope rings 3 can be threaded onto the frame and connected to the mat 4 via rope bolts 5. After assembly, the opening 1.2 is closed with a closure element 1.3. As shown in Figure 2 As can be seen, the closure element can be sleeve-shaped. For example, it is possible and preferred if the closure element is designed to be linearly displaceable along the extruded profile, so that it covers the opening in a first position and uncovers the opening in a second position.

[0045] The mat is connected to the frame using elastic rubber rope loops. Various elastomer types are available. The rope strands of the rubber rope rings are preferably designed as round strands, which are particularly durable.

[0046] The standing board has an oval contour when viewed from above, ensuring minimal space requirements.

[0047] The Standing Board 1 can be used in the workplace, for medical / physiotherapeutic purposes as well as for training purposes in the sports sector.

[0048] The stand-up board features a frame with feet to ensure a certain level of ground clearance. Furthermore, the stand-up board features a mat attached to the frame with elastic rubber rope rings, which serves as a standing surface.

[0049] This design achieves the following properties, which are particularly effective when working while standing compared to sitting: Stable standing on a moving mat Both feet can be moved almost independently of each other Permanent balancing of the balance Promotes the sense of balance / sensorimotor skills / movement coordination Strengthening of the micro-muscles Promotes concentration Prevents tension Prevents back problems Prevents disc problems Prevents rapid fatigue Compensation for lack of exercise

[0050] The standing board has approximately the dimensions 1000×600×130mm (LxWxH) and can be easily transported in a specially made carrying bag.

[0051] Fig. 1-3 show a single-piece extruded profile. However, it is possible that the frame is composed of several extruded profiles with several connecting elements.

[0052] Fig. 4a-cshow a variant of the closure element 1.3 further developed according to the invention as a connecting element 11 for connecting the ends of one or more extruded profiles to form a corresponding frame of a standing board.

[0053] The connecting element 11 has a receiving sleeve 12 into which the ends of the extruded profile can be inserted. The receiving sleeve 11 can have a fixing means 19 for determining the linear movement between the receiving sleeve and the extruded profile 8 of the frame 1. The fixing can take place in an overlap area where the connecting element 11 covers the extruded profile. The fixing means 19 can be, for example, a screw which is screwed against the surface of the respective extruded profile, thus achieving fixing. There are also other possible fixing means, for example a screw connection using a T-slot nut arranged in the mounting groove.

[0054] The connecting element 11 also has a clamping piece 13, which is connected to an actuating element 14. The actuating element 14 is in Fig. 4 It is designed as a lever, but it can also be a handle, a handwheel, or a tool engagement, such as a screw head or a hexagon socket. Other actuating elements can also be provided. A threaded rod can be provided between the respective actuating element and the clamping piece 13.

[0055] By transmitting a rotation via the actuating element 14 to the threaded rod, a linear forward movement of the clamping piece 13 takes place until the clamping piece 13 reaches a stop.

[0056] The receiving sleeve 12 has at least one receiving opening 15, preferably two opposite receiving openings. The receiving opening 15 allows access to the opening 1.2 between the ends of one or more extruded profiles 8. The clamping piece 13 is arranged in the opening 1.2 for linear movement.

[0057] The insertion direction 16 for the frame component or the profile is perpendicular to the insertion direction for the ends of the extruded profile 8 or the extruded profiles.

[0058] The frame 1 can be fixed by the connecting element 11 to a further frame component and / or a further profile by inserting the frame component and / or the profile through the receiving opening 15 into the area of ​​the opening 1.2, so that at least a region of the frame component and / or the profile is arranged between the ends of the extruded component and / or the extruded components.

[0059] In the inserted state, the clamping piece 13 is moved to the stop against the frame component and / or the profile by actuating the actuating element 14 and is then tightened, so that a clamping fixation to the rest of the frame 1 takes place in the inserted state.

[0060] In the Fig. 4 In the variant shown, the clamping piece 13 has a punch surface 17, analogous to a punch brake. At the edge of this punch surface, the clamping piece 13 has one or more guide segments 18, each of which is matched to the width of a hollow chamber 9 of the extruded profile 8, which is designed as a hollow chamber profile.

[0061] Thus, the guide segment 18 rests within the hollow chamber 9 and is guided during its linear movement within the hollow chamber. This advantageously prevents the clamping piece 13 from rotating when the actuating element 14 is actuated.

[0062] A corresponding guide element 18 can be provided on one side of the clamping piece 13 or on both sides, as in Fig. 4 shown, be provided on both sides of the clamping piece 13, whereby a more linear movement of the clamping piece is achieved.

[0063] The frame component or profile can, for example, be a railing bar, e.g., for use in senior gymnastics, or a bar, e.g., an angle bar for wall mounting the standing board. A support bracket is also conceivable, allowing the feet to be inserted, allowing multiple standing boards to be stacked on top of each other. A multitude of other applications are possible.
