Definitions

  • the present cover for backs, seats and supports of exercise machines object of the present invention consists of a body essentially formed by a more or less thick fabric with an impermeable side preferably of plastic, and the other side is a cellulose layer with sweat absorbent beads of gel, having diagonal bands of resilient material which stretch and permit being adapted to different shapes and sizes of the supports, furthermore, they have elastic in the corners of the cover so as to be adjusted to the corners of the back where the user leans his/her back.
  • This invention has an application within the textile industry as well as in that related with apparatuses for physical exercise and, definitively, where it is necessary to prevent contact of sweat with the sport material which is common for all.
  • Towels are not impermeable, sweat therefore passes through and remains impregnated on the support.
  • Towels have no systems to be fixed to the seat, they therefore usually fall to the ground or move, thus permitting contact of the users with the seats or supports.
  • the clients are obliged to take a towel for the shower and another one for the machines, two towels as a minimum which they later have to wash.
  • the cover for backs, seats and supports for exercise machines object of the present invention intends to prevent or lessen all these drawbacks, to do so it is based on a body composed of an absorbent material on one side, based on layers of cellulose inside of which there are beads of gel absorbing the moisture, as well as having on the other side an impermeable surface preventing the moisture from passing in both directions.
  • a cover of this kind according to the preamble of claim 1 is already known by e.g. DE-A-19859039.
  • this body houses one ore several transversally elastic bands permitting this cover from adapting to different sizes, depending on the dimensions of the support or seat of the machine, therefore a same cover can be used for several different sized machines by only stretching these elastic bands until reaching the size, within some limits.
  • this cover mainly ensures against the absorption of sweat or moisture generated while exercising, on one hand preventing contact between the user's sweat and the back of the machine as a result of the impermeable contact surface between the cover and back, in addition to the cover body being of beads of gel, they absorb all the moisture, preventing its passing through towards the back.
  • this machine cover is a low cost accessory, but enough to imply a business, at the same time providing an image of uniformity and cleanliness since advertising or logotypes, prints, etc., can be placed providing the establishment with uniformity, effectively protecting the machines against the sweat of the users; and lastly, it also implies one less concern for the users of these facilities, as they can forget at least one towel and save in washing and transport thereof.
  • a cover body (1) is first distinguished, formed by areas composed of cellulose layers (2), several lower resilient bands (3) and other transversal (7) ones, adjustable bands (4) for coupling to the back (5), the lower part of the cover incorporating an impermeable layer (6). Also, and for the purpose of greatly facilitating the adjustment and fixing to the seat (5), there are elastic strips (8) one the cover which, starting from one of the lower strips, it is fixed to one of the ends of the cover, being made to pass under the back for the coupling thereof.
  • the cellulose bodies (2) are internally provided with beads of gel absorbing the user's sweat, this area will therefore be placed facing up, in direct contact with the user or athlete.
  • the cellulose bodies work like a baby's diaper, collecting the moisture of the surface and it is retained by the beads of gel inside, the contact surface remaining dry, favoring its daily use for more time in better conditions than a cloth towel.
  • the lower part of this body is made impermeable by an impermeable surface (6) layer, such as plastic or any other material, preventing direct contact of the moisture retained inside with the bench or back (5), eliminating the risk that it becomes cut and deteriorates, helping to maintain a good image of the facilities.
  • an impermeable surface (6) layer such as plastic or any other material
  • the elastic bands (7) are preferably arranged transversal to the cover body (1), such that it permits significantly varying the length of the cover, such that it is capable of adapting to benches or backs (5) of different sizes, as well as seats of exercise machines, favoring product standardization, economizing costs, at the same time that the same cover can be used for several different backs, the necessary stock being reduced to a minimum.
  • the lower strips (3) are also of elastic material, similar to rubber, such that it permits the cover to couple to the back by its lower part.
  • a span of elastic strip (8) is arranged which, starting from one of the lower strips (3), finishes off on one of the ends of the cover (1), securing the fixing of the cover on the corresponding end of the bench (5), which facilitates placement.
  • These strips (3, 8) can be joined to the cover by any known method, such as sewed, stapled, clipped on, etc.
  • the body (1) also includes several adjustable bands or cases (4) placed towards the ends of the cover, they are either rectangular or the like, or by means of another fixing method when the cover is of more sinuous shapes, such as circular, elliptical, etc., such as tapes or the like, although strips or bands adjustable to the lower part of the back (5) will preferably be used, such as the corner of a sheet, which is adjusted to the respective corner of the back (5) such that it can be easily placed and removed, preventing this cover from moving.
  • adjustable bands or cases (4) placed towards the ends of the cover they are either rectangular or the like, or by means of another fixing method when the cover is of more sinuous shapes, such as circular, elliptical, etc., such as tapes or the like, although strips or bands adjustable to the lower part of the back (5) will preferably be used, such as the corner of a sheet, which is adjusted to the respective corner of the back (5) such that it can be easily placed and removed, preventing this cover from moving.
  • a cover (1) which best adjusts to the dimensions of the back or seat (5), it is unfolded on the surface, with the impermeable side (6) towards the seat or back (5), stretching the corners of the cover until it reaches the respective corners of the back; in this position, the transversal elastic strips (3) are passed under the cover, in addition to the longitudinal strip (8) being coupled to the corresponding end of the seat (5), it being possible to stretch the end of the opposite corner to adjust it, for this purpose, the transversal elastic bands (7) slightly give way, according to the direction of the arrows, until the adjustable band (4) can be adjusted on the corners of the back, being perfectly adjusted to the bench or back (5).
  • the user can lean the back on this side of the cover (1) based on cellulose layers, such that as sweat is generated, it is absorbed by the cellulose layers between which there are beads of gel soaking up the moisture, its surface remaining dry.
  • this cover (5) can be used as a pad on the ground, tatami, or other surface, on which physical exercise can be carried out, also having the application in gymnasiums and the like, where by simply extending it the surface, the athlete lies on it, preventing direct contact with the floor, it also has absorbent features.
