Definitions
- Bodybuilding machine substantially shaped "clover" for muscle work of the lower and upper limbs.
- the present invention relates to the technical sector of weight machines in the form of an ellipse or an oval allowing inter alia muscular work of the lower and upper limbs.
- Ring-type devices "ring”, or “circle”, deformation on a single axis and two directions of a circle made of steel or carbon fibers or glass fibers are known. These are resistance ring type devices, essentially allowing the lower and upper limbs to be exercised.
- a disadvantage of these prior devices is that the user can only perform one type of force, which will always be the same, unless using an additional resistance means (for example, a "bungee” or strap) which requires adjustment.
- an additional resistance means for example, a "bungee” or strap
- Another disadvantage is that they are made of expensive materials and that they can be made up of several parts (for example, two arcs of assembled circles, handles, "bungees", etc.) making the manufacture relatively complex and thereby increasing the cost of producing the equipment.
- the present invention relates to a device of the body-building apparatus type including lower and upper limbs, having at least two resistance forces, preferably three forces. These forces being realized without the addition of an additional piece, and without any particular adjustment.
- the invention therefore relates to a device for the bodybuilding in particular of the lower and upper limbs (the pectoral, triceps, abdominal, dorsal, and the muscles of the legs and thighs, as well as other muscle groups, etc.).
- the lower and upper limbs the pectoral, triceps, abdominal, dorsal, and the muscles of the legs and thighs, as well as other muscle groups, etc.
- Figure 1 is a top view of the device according to the present invention, in a rest position.
- Figure 2 is a view of the same device which applies a first pressure resulting in a low resistance force.
- Figure 3 is a view of the same device where a second pressure is applied resulting in a very strong resistance force.
- FIG. 4 is a view of the same device in which a third pressure is applied, resulting in an intermediate resistance force.
- Figure 5 is a view of the same device where a fourth pressure is applied resulting in a strong resistance force.
- FIG. 6, which consists of FIGS. 6A (front view) and 6B (profile view), shows the device according to the invention where a pressure is applied which causes a fifth resistance force called "torsion".
- Fig. 7 is a view of said device according to the preferred embodiment.
- Figure 8 is a graph showing the evolution of the load over time, during a bench press exercise.
- FIG. 9 is a graph showing the evolution of the compressive load over time of the device according to the invention when a pressure is applied at the level of the strips (2 and 3), in order to obtain a force of weak resistance.
- FIG. 10 is a graph showing the evolution of the compression load over time of the device according to the invention when a pressure is applied at the level of the bands (A and C) or (B and D), in order to obtain an intermediate resistance force.
- FIG. 11 is a graph showing the evolution of the compression load over time of the device according to the invention when apply pressure at the bands (4 and 5) to obtain a very strong resistance force.
- FIG. 12 is a graph showing the evolution of the compression load over time of the device according to the invention when a pressure is applied at the level of the strips (6 and 7), in order to obtain a force of strong resistance.
- the invention relates to a device of substantially oval shape (1) which has two lateral extensions (4, 5) of the "ear” type allowing, inter alia, its gripping by a user.
- This device also comprises two strips (6, 7) of smaller thickness relative to that of the other main band forming the entire device (2, 3, 4, 5). These two thin strips are formed on the extension of the oval created by the device, thus pass through said extensions, and connect the points A and B / C and D.
- the radius of the main bands and lateral extensions of the "ear" type is preferably 120 mm, but this dimension can of course be adapted to the requirements of those skilled in the art.
- This device is preferably a monoblock piece of injected plastic (PA 6 ("nylon 6 polyamide").
- PA 6 nylon 6 polyamide
- the technological advance concerning plastic materials makes it possible to obtain relatively important memory effect materials, but to accentuate the memory effect it It is possible to place a steel band inside the plastic, this also to provide more resistance.
- the composite materials have the following characteristics: good tensile strength, bending capacity, good impact resistance, high mechanical strength, stiffness, hardness, good resistance to fatigue and wear; or by any other material accessible to those skilled in the art for making such a device in one piece, having a high rigidity and a large memory effect so that the piece can return to its original shape whatever the deformation applied and that the device can be used regularly over time by always offering optimal use qualities over time.
- reinforcement-type elements (9) in the places where the tensions applied are the strongest, that is to say essentially at the points vertex of curvature (e, f) and at the junction points of the bands (A, B, C, D).
- Said device has a dimension of about 50 cm in diameter.
- the thickness of the strips of the device is about 7 mm for the thick portions (2, 3, 4, 5) and about 4 mm for the thinnest portions (6, 7).
- the dimensions are as follows: diameter of 51 cm and width of the strips of 5 cm.
- the device comprises altogether ten elements of the comfort (8) and of the reinforcement type (9).
- this overmoulding is preferably ergonomic in order to improve the use of the device.
- the material used can be of any type accessible to those skilled in the art, as long as it can guarantee the user a good grip and good support on the legs.
- the device When the device is grasped at the level of the thin strips (6, 7) and pressure is applied inwards, a strong resistance force is created. In addition, starting from a certain pressure applied by the user, that is to say about 80% of the maximum force applicable, the device starts to oscillate and to tremble (because of the weight distributions notably of the lateral extensions of types "ears" ") And thus causes vibrations that are transmitted to the muscles of the forearms.
- the work carried out acts effectively on the big pectorals.
- the work carried out acts effectively on the pectorals.
- the vibration obtained due to this position makes it possible to improve even more the work on the pecs.
- the knee is placed on the device according to the invention at the junction points (A or C or D or B), and in support of the floor by opening the leg outwards, we work the abductor muscles of the leg.
- the invention also covers all the embodiments and all the applications which will be directly accessible to the person skilled in the art upon reading the present application, and of his own knowledge.
