[0001] ATTACHMENT FOR A TRAINING DEVICE
[0002] Field of the invention
[0003] The present invention relates to a training device for supporting physical training. This primarily concerns fitness and muscle building. More specifically, it concerns an add-on component for an existing training device or a support component that can then be used to create a training device with the desired function.
[0004] Background of the invention
[0005] US patent application 2017 / 0106230 A1 discloses a training device that supports the execution of squats (or "squats"). A movable element with a shoulder support is guided by vertical bars. This allows for a controlled, precise movement of the shoulders and upper body. The movable element can be weighted.
[0006] A potential disadvantage is that this device is relatively complex and inevitably expensive, and seems to only allow for one exercise. While this option may be acceptable for gyms, it generally won't be attractive in situations where effort needs to be limited, such as training at home.
[0007] The present invention aims to provide an attachment for a training device. This enables effective training without the need to purchase an expensive and complex device. This object is achieved by an attachment according to claim 1. Advantageous further developments are specified in the subclaims. The corresponding advantages are provided by the methods according to claims 11 to 14.
[0008] Further description
[0009] The present invention relates to an attachment for physical training, which, together with a support part, can form a training device. The attachment should be individually transportable and manageable. A potential user who purchases such an attachment is generally not interested in the attachment itself, but rather in the use of a training device. However, it will often be the case that the user does not have to purchase a support part specifically to use the attachment, but can use it with an existing support part.
[0010] Such an attachment should be individually manufactured, individually sold, and individually transportable. The attachment on its own does not constitute a fitness device. However, it can be mounted, for example, on a post. Mounted on the post, the attachment forms a training device for fitness training. The attachment should be easy to connect to a support element or part, such as a post. It should also be easy to detach. Preferably, both can be done without tools. From the perspective of a user of the training device, for example, from the perspective of an average athlete or rehabilitation patient, the attachment should be easy to connect and detach, preferably without tools. It may be interesting to offer the attachment together with a frame, even mounted on such a frame.
[0011] A suitable support part offers a first and a second receiving element. The add-on part can be connected to these receiving elements. The connection creates a training device. The support part can take on various forms. It may be sufficient if suitable receiving elements are offered on a wall at a suitable height. It is also conceivable that suitable receiving elements are offered on a wall bars, for example. It is also well conceivable to offer suitable receiving elements on a door frame. The user will often use a training frame or training rack as the support part. Such a rack usually has vertical posts, for example four vertical posts arranged in a rectangle.The posts usually have a large number of holes, which run vertically as rows of holes and can serve as receiving elements themselves or offer a convenient fastening option for additional receiving elements.
[0012] The tool-free connection and release of the attachment from a support part, also referred to herein as a support element, can be achieved in various ways. A mechanical connection is generally advantageous. A female and a male element can act together as the first and second connecting elements.
[0013] Practical mechanical fasteners can, in principle, include hook-and-loop fasteners, magnetic fasteners, spring clips, snap fasteners, quick-release couplings, clamp locks, or even bayonet locks. A practical clamp lock, for example, might offer a cam mechanism that can be closed or opened by turning. A bayonet lock, for example, might offer a pin that is inserted into a groove and locked or unlocked by turning.
[0014] Since the support elements often have numerous holes, these can be used as the first connecting elements. For example, bolts can engage in the holes. Hooks or screws could also be used.
[0015] It is also sensible to use first, second and third connecting elements. The first and third connecting elements can be female and the second connecting element male. The first and third connecting elements can be of the same type. Both the support part and the attachment part can have a plurality of holes. These can be arranged as rows of holes. A hole in the support part can serve as the first connecting element and a hole in the attachment part can serve as the third connecting element. These connecting elements can be connected to one another by a second connecting element. This second connecting element can be a male one, for example in the form of a bolt (or a hook or a screw). Hole / bolt connections have generally proven advantageous within the scope of the present invention.
[0016] Bolts can also be provided with a securing mechanism, for example through an additional securing element, such as a plug-in wire, pin or cotter pin, or expediently also a spring pin and socket pin. These plug-in elements can be easily removed without tools to release the bolt again. Such a securing mechanism can also be a mechanism integrated into the bolt that fixes the bolt in the desired position, for example elements protruding from the bolt, such as pins or balls. These can be pushed outwards under spring load. The bolt is preferably thread-free and at least has no external thread, which makes it easier to handle. In this respect, a nut placed on a thread would not be understood as a securing mechanism for a bolt. The first and second receiving elements are expediently provided at a user's shoulder height.This is because the attachment comprises an upper frame which is intended to provide a support surface for the user's shoulder and is therefore expediently attached at the user's shoulder height. The term "shoulder height" is used here as a rough guide but is not intended to be highly restrictive. On the one hand, this is because a user's shoulder height can vary greatly; on the other hand, even if the shoulder height is known, attaching the attachment slightly above or slightly below shoulder height can be expedient. The term "shoulder height" will therefore typically describe a height of 1.00 m to 2.20 m in the context of the present invention.
[0017] The attachment should comprise a circumferential upper frame. This upper frame should comprise a left shoulder lever and a right shoulder lever. Both shoulder levers are usually long pieces that are particularly resistant to stretching, meaning they are essentially non-stretchable and, advantageously, also non-compressible and non-bendable. The terms stretchability, compressibility, and flexibility in this context are to be understood in relation to typical forces during use.
[0018] The left and right shoulder levers are complemented by a shoulder cross brace. This shoulder cross brace typically also serves as the primary connection between the left and right shoulder levers, allowing the upper frame to wrap around the shoulder levers and the shoulder cross brace.
[0019] The shoulder cross brace should provide a support surface for the user's shoulder. This support surface can be a section of the cross brace itself. The support surface can also be anatomically shaped; in particular, the support surface can also be padded. The shoulder levers should each have a support-side end and a body-side end. The support-side end is generally oriented toward the support part, and the body-side end is generally oriented toward the user's body, more specifically, toward the shoulder area. The support-side end should be connected to the support part.
[0020] The training device should enable a guided up and down movement of at least one part of the user's body, in particular a guided up and down movement of the shoulders. Naturally, a supported up and down movement of the user's upper body as a whole is generally achieved. During the downward training movement, the knees are bent. During the upward training movement, the knees are straightened. The up and down movement of a user is therefore generally similar to performing squats. However, it is a guided movement in which the user's shoulders cannot move freely. The left and right shoulder levers create a fixed distance between the user's shoulders and the support-side end of the shoulder levers, and thus to the receiving elements.
[0021] In another embodiment, the training device alternatively or additionally supports a guided up-and-down movement of the legs, similar to a leg press. The arrangement of the upper frame at the approximate shoulder height described above is also useful when used as a leg press.
[0022] The upper frame should be movable. Ideally, the shoulder cross brace should be movable along a circular path. To achieve this, it is advantageous if the left and right shoulder levers each move along a circular path. It is especially useful if the left and right shoulder levers are movable around a single horizontal axis. This will usually be a geometric axis and does not need to be implemented as a physical component.
[0023] A training device which, in addition to the upper frame, also has a lower frame is particularly useful. Accordingly, an attachment which also includes a surrounding lower frame is useful. This is expediently formed from a left hip lever, a right hip lever and a hip cross brace. The hip cross brace expediently has a support surface for the user's hip. This support surface can in turn be a section of the hip cross brace; it is expediently anatomically shaped and can also include a pad. The hip cross brace connects the left hip lever to the right hip lever. The hip levers each have a support-side end and a body-side end. They are connected to the support part with the support-side end.
[0024] As a rule, the support part therefore also has a third and a fourth receiving element, with the third receiving element accommodating the left hip lever and the fourth receiving element accommodating the right hip lever. Conveniently, the left hip lever and the right hip lever are each rotatable, with rotation around a (geometric) axis being particularly advantageous.
[0025] It is also useful if the shoulder cross brace and the hip cross brace are connected by a connecting element. This connection allows the shoulder cross brace and the hip cross brace to move together and at a predetermined distance. As a result, the upper and lower circumferential frames also move together. This connection provides even better guidance, as the exerciser can then perform guided movements in both the shoulder and hip areas. The connecting element is conveniently designed as a back support. This back support can offer support in the shoulder area, serving as a support surface for the shoulder, and it can also offer support in the hip area, serving as a support surface for the hip.
[0026] It is also advantageous if the connecting part allows the distance between the shoulder cross brace and the hip cross brace to be varied. The distance between the shoulder cross brace and the hip cross brace can be adjusted to match the distance between the upper frame support elements and the lower frame. If the shoulder levers move around a first horizontal axis and the hip levers around a horizontal axis located below them, the distance between the shoulder cross brace and the hip cross brace can be exactly the same as the distance between these horizontal axes. However, a different distance may be preferred.
[0027] During the movement, a shoulder lever, a hip lever positioned below it, the connecting piece, and an imaginary line between the upper horizontal axis of rotation and the lower horizontal axis of rotation form a parallelogram in the side view. The parallelogram shape is maintained even during the movement.
[0028] It can also be useful to create a larger or smaller distance between the shoulder cross brace and hip cross brace using the connecting element. It has proven particularly useful to create a slightly smaller distance. This means that one shoulder lever and one corresponding hip lever converge towards the body of the trainee. The imaginary extensions of the levers then cross at a point far behind the trainee. This results in a movement that is not entirely circular, which has proven advantageous. It is useful if the attachment is equipped with at least one weight holder (this can be provided on the upper or lower frame, for example). The training can be intensified by adding weight using the weight holder. The upward movement in particular must then be performed against a downward pulling weight.It's particularly useful to provide two weight holders, designed as two mandrels. These mandrels can accommodate weight plates (with a center hole). Since many exercisers have such weight plates on hand, the attachment makes it easy to intensify training without having to purchase expensive additional equipment.
[0029] It is also useful if the attachment can be supported on the floor by a stand. Especially if the attachment is weighted, it does not have to be held close to the ground by the exerciser or supported in a low position on the floor, but can be supported above floor level at a convenient height. Such a stand can have two feet. The feet can be conveniently rotated to bring them into contact with the floor. The stand usually has a position where it is not in contact with the floor, for example by placing its feet in a substantially horizontal position. For this purpose, it is useful if the stand can be rotated.
[0030] It is also useful if the attachment can be supplemented with a floor-facing press plate. This plate can be designed to be removable. The attachment can then be used with or without such a plate. Various mechanical connections can facilitate this. This floor-facing press plate can be used for leg training exercises, in which a user lies on the floor and supports their legs against the press plate from below.
[0031] The pressure plate can therefore be designed in various shapes, from a flat plate to an anatomically shaped plate. The key is that the user can exert upward pressure with their feet.
[0032] The exact orientation of the press plate is not crucial. In principle, the press plate can be oriented essentially parallel to the upper frame 12 or the lower frame 22. A slight inclination relative to the plane defined by the lower frame 22 is also possible; an inclination of plus to minus 30° is advantageously chosen.
[0033] Overall, the invention relates to an attachment 10 for physical training, which, together with a support member 20, can be used to form a training device that offers at least one four-bar linkage for guided body movement. This linkage consists of a section of the support member, an upper arm (such as the right or left shoulder lever), a lower arm (such as the right or left hip lever), and a connecting link between the upper arm and lower arm (e.g., a back support). The body movement is intended to take place against a selectable force.
[0034] The present invention also relates to a method for physical training, in which
[0035] - a movable upper frame (12) is provided
[0036] - the upper frame (12) is connected to a support part (20) guided by the upper frame (12) an up and down movement of the body of a user is carried out
[0037] Of particular interest is a method for physical training in which weights are attached to the attachment. A method for physical training in which a lower frame is provided and connected to the support part is also of interest.
[0038] It is also useful if, as part of the process, a press plate is connected to the attachment and physical training is carried out by pressure against the press plate and against the counterpressure of weights.
[0039] The method is to be understood as relating to the attachment according to the invention. This means that features of the design of the attachment are to be transferred analogously to the method, and features of the method are to be transferred analogously to features of the attachment.
[0040] Further features, but also advantages of the invention, emerge from the following drawings and the associated description. In the figures and the associated descriptions, features of the invention are described in combination. However, these features can also be included in other combinations of an inventive subject matter. Each disclosed feature is therefore also to be considered as disclosed in technically reasonable combinations with other features. The figures are partly slightly simplified and schematic.

[0050] Fig. 1 shows an attachment 10 according to the present invention. The attachment 10 comprises an upper frame 12. This upper frame 12 consists of a left shoulder lever 14 and a right shoulder lever 16. The two shoulder levers (one could also refer to them as levers or arms) are connected by a shoulder cross brace 18.
[0051] The attachment part 10 is mounted on a support part 20. For the sake of clarity, the support part 20 is only partially shown.
[0052] The attachment 10 further comprises a lower frame 22, which consists of the left hip lever 24, the right hip lever 26, and the connecting hip cross brace 28. The upper frame 12 and the lower frame 22 are connected to each other by the back support 30. More specifically, the back support 30 connects the shoulder cross brace 18 and the hip cross brace 28. The upper frame 12 and the lower frame 22 are thus only movable simultaneously.
[0053] The backrest is complemented by a left shoulder bar 32 and a right shoulder bar 34. This also provides good shoulder support. In particular, it's easy to move the shoulder bars, and thus the attachment 10, upwards with the shoulders.
[0054] At the level of the shoulder cross brace, a left pin 36 and a right pin 38 are provided. These are provided as an extension of the shoulder cross brace 18 and can expediently also form a common component with the shoulder cross brace 18. The pins are suitable for holding weight plates with a central hole. The weight plates are usually secured by clips placed on each pin. Another form of weight attachment would also be useful. The pins allow the use of commercially available round weight plates and the weight configuration to be easily adjusted. By adding weight to the attachment, effective training is possible, particularly for the leg muscles. The basic movement is similar to performing squats, but because the body is guided by the back support 30 and the shoulder bars 32 and 34, training is safer and more effective.
[0055] The downward movement of the attachment can be limited by the stand 40. The attachment 10 can be supported on the ground using the stand 40. This allows a trainee to more easily assume the correct training position, since the stand 40 can ensure that the shoulder bars 32 and 34 are at approximately the correct height. The stand 40 has a left leg 42 and a right leg 44. It also has an operating lever 46. The holder 48 of the stand 40 is designed as a sleeve that encloses the hip cross brace 28. In this way, the stand 40 can be rotated about the axis of the hip cross brace 28. This allows the simple construction of a load-bearing stand 40. By pulling the operating lever 46, the legs 42 and 44 can be brought into a position away from the ground. It is practical and aesthetically advantageous if the legs 42 and 44 run essentially parallel to the hip levers 24 and 26.
[0056] The attachment is advantageously combined with a footrest 50. The footrest has a support surface 52 for placing the feet. This support surface 52 is held by a frame 54. The angle of the support surface 52 can be adjusted relative to the frame 54.
[0057] The support part 20 comprises, in particular, the left support post 56 and the right support post 58. The attachment part 10 can be connected to these support posts. The support posts have receiving elements for this purpose. The left shoulder lever 14 is attached to the first receiving element 60, and the right shoulder lever 16 is attached to the second receiving element 62. The receiving elements are located at the same height, so that both shoulder levers can be rotated about a horizontal axis. Similarly, the third receiving element 64 is provided for the left hip lever 24, and the fourth receiving element 66 is provided for the right hip lever 26. The support part 20 also comprises further support elements 68, in particular cross braces, which are only partially shown here for the sake of simplicity. The support posts rest on feet 70.
[0058] Fig. 2 shows a perspective overall view of the attachment together with a support part 20. The support part 20 corresponds to that shown in Fig. 1, but in this view, four support posts can be seen, arranged in a square and connected by cross braces. The support part comprises, in particular, the vertical posts 56 and 58 already shown. These two support posts facing the attachment are supplemented by corresponding rear support posts, namely support posts 56A and 58A. The posts are connected by cross braces. For this purpose, cross brace 68A is provided at the top and, opposite, cross brace 68B. Support posts 56A and 58A are connected by cross brace 68C. Support posts 56 and 58 are connected by cross brace 68D. Cross braces are also provided in the lower part of the support posts, namely cross braces 68E, 68F and 68G.In this way, a support part can be provided which can also serve as a training frame for various other fitness exercises.
[0059] In this case, the attachment is mounted only on the front support posts, namely the left support post 56 and the right support post 58. For this purpose, the upper frame 12 is attached to the first receiving element 60 and the opposite second receiving element 62. The lower frame 22 is held by the third receiving element 64 and the fourth receiving element 66. The upper frame and the lower frame are connected by the back part 30. A footrest, which provides a support surface 52, can be placed loosely on the floor or connected to the support part 20.
[0060] Fig. 3 shows a plan view of the attachment 10, which is mounted on a support part 20. For the sake of clarity, only the essential elements are labeled. The left shoulder lever 14 and the right shoulder lever 16, which together with the shoulder cross brace 18 form the upper frame 22, are clearly visible. The left hip lever 24 and the right hip lever 26, which, connected by the hip cross brace 28, form the lower frame 32, are also clearly visible. In this illustration, it is clearly visible that the left pin 36 and the right pin 38 represent an extension of the axis of the shoulder cross brace 18. This allows the pins to be mechanically connected particularly firmly to the upper frame, for example, using a common component, such as a tube, to manufacture the shoulder cross brace 18 and the left pin 36 and the right pin 38.
[0061] It is also clearly visible that the left leg 42 and the right leg 44 each rest on the floor near the hip levers. A wide support surface 52 is provided on the footrest to support the feet of the trainee. The back support 30 is positioned centrally between the shoulder levers and the hip levers.
[0062] Fig. 4 shows a sectional side view of the attachment 10 according to the invention shown in Fig. 3 and a corresponding support part 20. The support part 20 provides, in particular, the right support post 58. On this support post, the right shoulder lever 16 is mounted on the second receiving element 62, and the right hip lever 26 is mounted on the fourth receiving element 66. The levers are rotatable about axes of rotation that extend through the receiving elements. This is generally desired within the scope of the present invention, although the axes of rotation may also be located near the receiving elements, depending on the design of the receiving element.
[0063] The shoulder lever 16 is connected to the shoulder cross brace 18 and supports it. The hip lever 26 is connected to the hip cross brace 28 and supports it. Both cross braces are connected by the back support, which also supports the shoulder bar 34. The hip cross brace 28 is connected to the stand 40, the right leg 44 of which can be seen. The footrest 50 is also positioned in the area of the support post 58. The use of a footrest is not necessary, but is generally advantageous. In general, within the scope of the present invention, the footrest can be connected to the support part or used without being connected to the support part. The right shoulder lever 16 runs along the axis A1, which runs through the pivot point of the lever, i.e., through the second receiving element 62. The hip lever 26 runs along the axis A2, which runs through its pivot point, i.e., through the fourth receiving element 66.In the illustrated configuration of the attachment 10, both axes move parallel around the specified pivot points. This results in a movement of the backrest 30 toward and away from the ground, during which it remains at a constant angle, measured, for example, to a vertical. Essentially, a parallelogram movement occurs, with the parallelogram being formed by a section of the post 58, the shoulder lever 16, a substantial portion of the backrest 30, and the hip lever 26.
[0064] Within the scope of the present invention, it is generally possible to vary the height of the receiving elements on the support part. For example, the receiving elements can comprise holes in the support part or even a row of holes. The shoulder levers and hip levers can then be accommodated at the height of each hole. Accordingly, it would also be possible to mount the right hip lever 26 higher on the support post 58. Then, the axis A2 would not run parallel to the axis Ai, but the axes would converge (and would meet in an area to the left of the support post 58, outside the drawing section).
[0065] This arrangement results in an alternative movement. With this alternative movement of the attachment 10, the lower part of the back support 30 would move downwards towards the support post 58. This would combine the up and down movement with a slight translational movement (particularly of the pelvis of a trainee) towards the support post 58. This training has proven to be particularly efficient. The attachment of the shoulder levers and / or the hip levers to pivot points of different heights is therefore certainly desirable within the scope of the present invention. In general, a four-bar linkage can be formed expediently within the scope of the present invention with one shoulder lever and corresponding hip lever, a section of the support part, and a connection of the body-side ends of the levers.
[0066] Fig. 5 shows an enlarged view of the stand 40. The stand 40 comprises, in particular, a left leg 42 and a right leg 44. These legs can support the lower frame and thus the entire attachment downwards. The legs 42 and 44 are generally supported on the same floor plane on which the support part 20 stands and, if necessary, is supported by its feet 70. The two legs 42 and 44 are connected to one another by the bracket 48. This is designed as a sleeve through which the hip cross brace 28 runs. In this way, the legs can effectively support the hip cross brace 28. Furthermore, it is easily possible to provide a rotatable stand 40. The axis along which the hip cross brace 28 runs serves as the pivot axis around which the legs 42 and 44 can rotate. The rotation of the stand 40 can be guided by the actuating lever 46.Conveniently, locking options are provided in the lower position, the support position, and in an upper position. An ideal upper position is achieved when legs 42 and 44 are essentially parallel to the hip levers 24 and 26.
[0067] Via the connection between the hip cross brace 28 and the shoulder cross brace 18, which is achieved by the back support 30, the stand 40 also supports the upper frame 12 so that, for example, the shoulder bars 32 and 34 can be held at a height suitable for entry.
[0068] Fig. 6 shows an enlarged view of a connection between the levers of the attachment and the support part that is generally useful within the scope of the invention. It shows the connection of the left shoulder lever 14 to the left support post 56. The support post 56 has a row of holes on the side intended to make contact with the shoulder lever 14, including, for example, hole 72. The shoulder lever 14 also has a plurality of holes, such as hole 74. By connecting two matching holes, the shoulder lever can be connected to the support post. A threaded bolt 76 can be used for this purpose, which is secured with the grip nut 78. By providing a plurality of alternatively usable holes, the position of the shoulder levers, but also of the hip levers, can be easily adjusted, particularly with regard to the height of the pivot points.Since training frames are available as support elements, which already have posts with rows of holes, a variable connection in this way is possible without much effort.
[0069] Figure 7 shows a perspective view of another attachment 10 according to the invention. This is mounted on the support part 20 already shown and not explained here. The attachment 10 again comprises the upper frame 12 and the lower frame 22 as basic elements. In this embodiment, however, a press plate 80 oriented toward the floor is provided in the area of the lower frame 22. By pressing (typically) the feet against this press plate, a muscle exercise can be performed, as is known from devices commonly referred to as "leg presses."
[0070] The upper frame 12 and the lower frame 22 are connected by the connecting element 90. While in other embodiments the connecting part or connecting element was essentially designed as a back support 30, no back support is provided here, since such a back support is not required. As a rule, it is expedient to provide a connecting element with removable back support / back padding. A mat 82 is positioned beneath the attachment. A stand 84 is provided next to the mat. This stand 84 is held by the bracket 86. The bracket 86 connects the stand 84 to the mat 82. The bracket 86 allows rotation of the stand 84. The stand 84 offers a plurality of rungs 88. These rungs 88 can support the attachment 10 at a suitable height. For this purpose, a part of the lower frame, for example the hip cross brace 28, can be received between the rungs.
[0071] In Figure 7, the training device provided by the attachment part 10 together with the support part 20 is shown in a ready position.
[0072] Figure 8 shows the same training device from the same perspective in a use position. As shown, the training device can be used by a user in a substantially reclining position. The user lies on the mat 82. The user's feet rest against the press plate 80. The press plate 80 moves the lower frame 22 upward. Naturally, the connecting element 90 also moves the upper frame 12 upward. The lower frame 22 carries the weight plates 92A and 92B on its weight mounts, but the weight mounts could also be provided on the upper frame 12.
[0073] In this usage position, the stand 84 is moved backward by rotating around the axis of the bracket 86. This allows free movement of the attachment 10 with the press plate 80 up and down. The training effect can be easily adjusted by selecting appropriate weights.
[0074] Overall, one can see how a sophisticated training device can be created using very simple means and utilizing an existing support element.
