Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a handle for a training device. [Background technology]

[0002] For example, there are training devices such as lat pull machines that allow a user to train muscles by pulling a handle they hold onto toward their body or by holding a handle attached to a bar and doing pull-ups. In this type of device, changing the position and shape of the handle that the user grips can change the position of the muscles that are stimulated and the efficiency of the training. Therefore, it is considered that users can attach an easy-to-use handle to the main body that suits their purpose. For example, the handles in Patent Documents 1 and 2 are made up of a J-shaped hook portion that hooks onto an existing bar and a grip portion that is rotatable relative to the hook portion.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2023-143853 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2009-106721 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] All of the above conventional handles are used by hooking a J-shaped hook onto an existing bar. However, since the hook simply hooks onto the bar, there is a possibility that the bar may slip out through the opening in the hook. This limits the ways in which they can be used. For example, they can only be hooked onto a horizontally fixed iron bar for pull-ups or onto the shaft of a barbell placed on the floor for pulling up. In other words, the grip can only be moved in a direction that will prevent the bar from falling out of the opening in the hook. Therefore, the direction in which the arms can move is limited by the position of the opening in the hook, limiting the effectiveness of training. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a handle for a training device that can be attached to a variety of training devices and allows a user to perform training that suits their purpose. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] The first invention is a handle for a training device consisting of a bar attachment means and a rod-shaped grip member, wherein the bar attachment means surrounds and clamps the entire circumference of the bar of the training device and is equipped with a clamping means that is detachable from the bar, and a rotation means that is attached to the clamping means and is rotatable within a plane parallel to the axis of the portion of the bar that is clamped by the clamping means and whose rotation can be restricted, and the grip member is provided on the opposite side of the rotation means from the side on which the clamping means is attached.

[0006] In the second invention, the rotating means comprises a plate-shaped fixed member fixed to the clamping means, a plate-shaped rotating member fixed to the gripping member and connected to the fixed member by a rotating shaft so as to be rotatable relative to the fixed member, and a positioning means for regulating the relative rotation between the fixed member and the rotating member.

[0007] In a third aspect of the present invention, the clamping means is configured to change the inner diameter of the portion that clamps the bar. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] According to the first aspect of the present invention, the training device clamps the entire circumference of the bar, preventing the bar from falling off the clamping means and allowing the angle of the grip members relative to the bar to be set in various ways. As a result, the device is easy for users to use and allows them to efficiently train the target areas.

[0009] According to the second aspect of the present invention, the angle of the grip member relative to the bar can be fixed by fixing the rotating member to the fixed member.

[0010] According to the third aspect of the present invention, the inner diameter of the clamping means can be adjusted to fit the thickness of the bar. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0012] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is an overall view of the handle H of the embodiment, FIGS. 2 and 3 are views showing the open and closed states of the clamping means 1, FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of the rotating means 2, and FIG. 5 is a view showing an example of how the handle H is attached to a training device.

[0013] The handle H of this embodiment is attached to the bar b of the training device shown by the two-dot chain line in Fig. 1 and includes a clamping means 1 for clamping the bar b, a rotating means 2, and a grip member 7 connected to the rotating means 2 by a connecting piece 6 on the side opposite to the attachment side of the clamping means 1 across the rotating means 2. Here, the clamping means 1, rotating means 2, and connecting piece 6 make up the bar attachment means.

[0014] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the clamping means 1 includes a support portion 1a having a curved surface that supports the bar b, and a pressing piece 1b. The clamping means 1 also includes a lever 1c, a rod screw 1d, a coil spring 1e, and a circular member 1f. One end of the pressing piece 1b is rotatably attached to the support portion 1a. The other end of the pressing piece 1b protrudes radially, and a notch (not shown) is formed in the protruding portion. The lever 1c is threadedly connected to one end of the rod screw 1d, and the other end of the rod screw 1d is fixed to the end of the support portion 1a. By rotating the lever 1c, the distance between the tip of the support portion 1a and the base end of the lever 1c can be changed. The rod screw 1d is inserted through the coil spring 1e and the circular member 1f, and they are positioned between the support portion 1a and the lever 1c. Coil spring 1e is located on the support portion 1a side, and circular member 1f is located on the pressing piece 1b side, and coil spring 1e biases circular member 1f toward lever 1c. The width of the notch formed at the other end of pressing piece 1b is narrower than the diameter of circular member 1f and wider than the outer diameter of coil spring 1e. With such clamping means 1, the bar screw 1d is fitted into the notch at the tip of the pressing piece 1b, and the lever 1c is lowered to clamp the bar b between the support part 1a and the pressing piece 1b (see FIG. 3).

[0015] The rotating means 2 is attached to the clamping means 1. The rotating means 2 includes a fixed plate 3, a rotating plate 4, a rotating shaft 5, and a stopper mechanism 8. One end of the rotating shaft 5 of the rotating means 2 is attached to the support part 1a. The fixed plate 3 is a plate-shaped member and is fixed to the rotating shaft 5. The fixed plate 3 has a surface parallel to the axis of the bar b shown in FIG. 1. The rotating plate 4 is a plate-shaped member having a similar shape to the fixed plate 3, faces the fixed plate 3, and is rotatably attached to the rotating shaft 5. A gripping member 7 is connected to the rotating plate 4 by a connecting piece 6. As a result, the gripping member 7 rotates together with the rotating plate 4 around the rotating shaft 5 relative to the bar b. 1, the rotary plate 4 is formed with a plurality of stopper holes 4a penetrating the rotary plate 4 on a circumference c centered on the rotary shaft 5. Here, ten stopper holes 4a are arranged at equal intervals.

[0016] The stopper mechanism 8 is attached to the fixed plate 3. As shown in Fig. 4, the stopper mechanism 8 includes a cylindrical body 9 that penetrates the fixed plate 3 and is fixed to the fixed plate 3, and a stopper pin 10 that is movable in the axial direction within the cylindrical body 9. The cylindrical body 9 is provided on the fixed plate 3 with the rotary shaft 5 as its center and on a circumference of the same diameter as the circumference c on the rotary plate 4 on which the stopper holes 4a are arranged.

[0017] The stopper pin 10 inserted into the cylindrical body 9 consists of a small diameter portion 10a on the head side and a large diameter portion 10b on the tip side that is continuous with the small diameter portion 10a, and the tip of the large diameter portion 10b is kept protruding from the cylindrical body 9 by a spring member (not shown) that is built into the cylindrical body 9 and provided between the end of the cylindrical body 9 and a step at the boundary between the small diameter portion 10a and the large diameter portion 10b. The large diameter portion 10b that protrudes from the cylindrical body 9 by the spring member fits into the stopper hole 4a of the rotating plate 4, and has a length that allows it to escape from the stopper hole 4a by pulling the ring 11 in the direction of arrow y. Here, the stopper mechanism 8 and the stopper hole 4a constitute a positioning means.

[0018] [Actions and effects] The handle H described above is attached by clamping the bar b with the clamping means 1. When the bar b is clamped, the entire circumference of the bar b is enclosed by the support part 1a, the pressing piece 1b, and the bar screw 1d, as shown in Figure 3. Furthermore, by rotating the lever 1c, the length of the rod screw 1d surrounding the bar b can be adjusted, allowing the bar b to be securely clamped and also accommodating bars b of different thicknesses. Therefore, compared to conventional handle hooks, there is almost no possibility of the hook falling off the bar b, and it can be attached to the bars of various training devices.

[0019] FIG. 5 shows a pair of handles H of the present invention attached to a bar b of a training device. The pair of handles H, H have a symmetrical structure with the grip member 7 rotating around the rotation axis 5, so they can be used for either the left or right hand of the user. The pair of handles H, H made common in this way can be attached to any position on the left or right of the bar b by the clamping means 1, and can be moved as shown by the arrow x to freely change their position on the bar b. Moreover, the grip member 7 can be rotated together with the rotary plate 4 as shown by the arrow α, thereby changing the angle of the grip member 7 relative to the bar b. The cylindrical body 9 of the stopper mechanism 8 is provided on the fixed plate 3 on a circumference having the same diameter as the circumference c on the rotating plate 4, so that the large diameter portion 10b protruding from the cylindrical body 9 can be inserted into and removed from the stopper hole 4a on the rotating plate 4. This makes it possible to change the relative position of the bar b and the grip member 7, and to position them by restricting their rotation.

[0020] As described above, the handle H can be attached to any position on the bar b, and the angle of the grip member 7 can be adjusted, so that it can be used at any grip width and angle. Therefore, it will be possible for users who want to train various parts of their body to achieve training that suits their goals.

[0021] In this embodiment, the clamping means 1 and the rotating means 2 may have other structures as long as they are structured to perform the above-mentioned functions in the handle H.

[0022] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the fixed plate 3 is fixed to the rotating shaft 5 fixed to the clamping means 1, and the rotating plate 4 is provided so as to be rotatable relative to the rotating shaft 5, but as long as the fixed plate 3 fixed to the clamping means 1 and the rotating plate 4 are rotatable relative to each other, the relationship between the fixed plate 3, the rotating plate 4 and the rotating shaft 5 is not limited to the above. For example, the fixed plate 3 fixed to the clamping means 1 may not be fixed to the rotating shaft 5, and the rotating plate 4 may be fixed to the rotating shaft 5, so that the rotating plate 4 and the rotating shaft 5 rotate integrally, or the rotating shaft 5 may be free to rotate relative to both the fixed plate 3 and the rotating plate 4.

[0023] In the above, the stopper mechanism 8 is fixed to the fixed plate 3 and a plurality of stopper holes 4a are formed in the rotary plate 4, but a plurality of stopper holes may be provided in the fixed plate 3 and the stopper mechanism 8 may be provided on the rotary plate 4. In that case, the rotational position can be changed or the rotary plate 4 can be positioned by inserting or removing the stopper pin 10, which rotates together with the rotary plate 4, into or from the stopper hole in the fixed plate 3. The stopper hole is not limited to a through hole, but may be a bottomed hole having a depth sufficient to hold the stopper pin 10. [Industrial Applicability]

[0024] It can be attached to various training devices to enable training that suits the user's goals. [Explanation of symbols]
