Definitions

  • the present invention relates to devices allowing physical exercise, often designated "home trainers".
  • the invention relates, more particularly, to such an apparatus in which two pedal cranks, which can be actuated in rotation by the feet, and two cranks with handles, which can be actuated in rotation by the hands, are kinematically connected.
  • Devices of this type are used not only for healthy people who can exercise both their lower limbs and their upper limbs, but also for people with disabilities or in rehabilitation phase who can, using their valid lower limbs, passively mobilize their disabled or weakened upper limbs, or vice versa.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide an exercise device which is better suited than the devices known to be used by disabled people.
  • the exercise apparatus according to the invention is remarkable in that its frame exclusively comprises a support base and a column carrying the pedal device and the handle device, this column being inclined so that that a user, seated in a seat on the side where the column is tilted, is automatically in the position which naturally allows him to operate the pedals and the handles.
  • the apparatus comprises a support base 10 and a column 12 fixed to the base and containing the movable members.
  • the support base 10 essentially consists of two identical pieces of steel 14 and 16, assembled in a zone 18, by welding or any other suitable means, to form an X whose branches are substantially longer on one side of the assembly area 18 than on the other.
  • the two long branches move apart enough to ensure satisfactory stability of the device, but above all to leave a free space between them which allows to place the legs of a chair or the wheels of 'A wheelchair.
  • the column 12 hollow and of generally parallelepiped shape, is fixed to the base 10 at the level of the zone 18, also by welding or any other suitable means.
  • This column rises in the median plane X of the base and is inclined in the direction of its long branches to form with the plane of the latter a generally included angle between 55 0 80 0 ⁇ t.
  • Column 12 has, in its lower part, a device 20 for pedaling with the feet.
  • This device essentially consists of a pin 22 mounted on two bearings 24 and carrying in its center a pinion 26 and two crank; with pedals 28, similar to those of a bicycle, fixed to the ends of the axle 22.
  • the column 12 has, in its upper part, a device 30 perme: both pedaling with the hands.
  • This device is similar to device 20.
  • An axis 32 mounted on two bearings 34, carries in its center a pinion 36.
  • Two cranks with handles 38 are fixed to the ends of this axis.
  • a chain 40 provides the kinematic connection between the two sprockets 26 and 36. It may be advantageous to provide a system for adjusting the tension of this chain.
  • the device is equipped with a braking system (not shown in the drawings since its production is within the reach of those skilled in the art) making it possible, by means of a button 42, to dose the effort necessary for rotate the two mobile devices 20 and 30.
  • the device it suffices, in fact, to use the device, to be seated on a chair, normal or rolling, placed between the branches of the base 10. Thanks to the inclination of the column 12 which brings the device to handles 30 plus near the body as the pedal device 20, the seated user is automatically in the position which allows him to reach the pedals with the feet and the cranks with the hands. He can then either exercise his lower limbs and his upper limbs simultaneously, or act actively with his lower limbs and passively mobilize his upper limbs, or vice versa. The device is therefore ideal for disabled people since they can use it without having to install it on a special seat.
  • the apparatus is at the same time space-saving and aesthetic, this being due to the fact that the sprockets and the chain are hidden inside the column. It should also be noted that the absence of a steering wheel, generally constituted, in known devices, by a bicycle wheel, largely contributes to reducing the bulk and improving the aesthetics.
  • the compactness of the device is an important advantage for the disabled because it does not hinder the movements of the user.
  • the device according to the invention is advantageously supplemented by a tachometer 44, conventional in devices of this type and therefore not shown in detail.
  • the sprockets 26 and 36 can have different numbers of teeth, which makes it possible to obtain different rotational speeds for the pedals and the handles.
  • a system similar to the derailleur of a bicycle can even be provided to allow the user a better dosage of the efforts of its lower limbs compared to the efforts of its upper limbs.
  • the kinematic connection between the two devices can be achieved by a cardan system.
