Definitions

• the present invention relates to a weight training device and / or rehabilitation consisting of turning a crank with one or two hands to move and drive a mechanical assembly with adjustable torque type exercise bike and allowing, depending on the position of the body of the operator, to tone all the muscles in one gesture.
• the apparatus of the invention overcomes these disadvantages. It has indeed an adjustable crank axis at the height of man through mechanical means mounted on a mechanical assembly from a bicycle.
• the lever arm of the crank is telescopic, it is adjustable in length to describe circles of radius larger or smaller.
• the operator chooses, according to the type of movement sought, to position his body facing the mechanism or turn it to the side.
• the axis of rotation moves simultaneously, forcing the operator to change the support position of his feet on the ground or on a tilting platform.
• the change of support may be due to a sitting position on the heels, either to an extended position on the tips of the feet, or to a movement of the foot on the ground for a better balance position.
• FIG. 1 is a plan view of a first version of the apparatus according to a gantry assembly
• FIG. 2 is a plan view of a second version of the apparatus according to a base consisting of an exercise bike mechanism;
• FIG. 3 is a view on the side of the second version apparatus;
• FIG. 4 is a detailed view of the equipment screw / nut.
• the apparatus represented in FIG. 1, comprises a gantry (15) whose two braced columns (Hi-14 2 ) are mounted on feet fixed to the ground (25) which impose an inclination of the columns ( 14) on the adjustable side from 0 ° to plus depending on the physical exercise sought by the operator.
• the gantry is moored to the ceiling by a shoring system (17).
• a cage (13) slides on the columns (14) .
• the equipment of the cage comprises at its lower part the mechanical assembly (2) with adjustable torque (10) of the home bike type whose output axis (23) is coupled to the axis (3) of the crank (1) by mechanical means (5 ') of the belt / pulley or sprocket / chain or gear type.
• the choice of the direction of rotation of the crank is given by a gearbox (21) controlled by a lever (20) with two positions. From the same gear case (21) comes a rack (24) or a rope attached to the gantry (35).
• a value (.DELTA.h) the whole of the cage (13) at a controlled rate by a control lever (16 ). In the case of the rope, it wraps or unrolls on the axis (3).
• the apparatus represented by FIGS. 2 and 3 comprises a mechanical assembly (2) with an adjustable torque (10) of the type of exercise bike (4) fixed to the ground (32) and, on request, also fixed on the ceiling by a shoring system (19).
• the axis (3) of the crank (1) is connected to the axis (23) of the output of the basic mechanical assembly (2) through a mechanical means (5) comprising a shaft equipped with a pulley assembly / belt or sprocket / chain (22).
• a gearbox (21) controlled by a lever (20) allows to choose the direction of rotation of the crank.
• a worm gear housing (12) moored to a large articulated screw (11) (29) on the structure.
• the action of the housing has the effect of varying the inclination ((X) of the shaft of the mechanical hub (5) and therefore of also move the axis (3) of the crank (1) from A to B for a variation in height of ( ⁇ h).
• This variation of the position of the axis (3) from A to B or from B to A causes the operator (7) to change the position of his feet (26) on the floor or on a tilting platform (27) while turning the crank.
• Figure 4 shows a screw / nut system according to one embodiment. Indeed it comprises a casing (12) worm hinged on an axis (31) on which a chain (28) provides the coupling with the gear housing (21).
• the toothed wheel (33) of the housing (12) transmits its rotation to a ball nut (34) mounted on a large ball screw (11).
• the latter is on one side articulated on the structure by an axis (29) and the other sliding in a slide (30) constructed in an arc.
• the length of the lever arm (1) defines the radius of circle to be scanned (Ri - R 2 ) which is fixed by a locking screw (8).
• a rotating handle (9) promotes the grip of the operator (7).
• the latter in the case of maneuvering on the side can have a crank-shaped crankshaft with two rotating handles.
• the feet of the operator are fixed by fasteners to obtain positions ordered by the instructor according to the type of work of the body sought.
• the apparatus according to the two versions, can be equipped with an electronic box (18) giving the information of physical expenses of the operator such as the calories, the duration ...
• the apparatus according to the invention should find a place of choice in sports halls and at home by a major and original contribution to bodybuilding.
