Abstract

The present invention relates to an exercise apparatus (1) for exercising the muscles, which allows simplified handling in terms of transport and/or in terms of exercises with a fastenable or blocked resistance element, in particular pull-ups. The exercise apparatus according to the invention can be folded into a compact form and/or has a blocking function which facilitates the conversion of the exercise apparatus for specific exercises. By virtue of the novel blocking element, no incorrect manipulation is possible Thus, firstly the risk of the user suffering an injury is reduced, and secondly a defect and/or breakage of the exercise apparatus is prevented. Accordingly, the handling of the exercise apparatus is improved in two respects.

Abstract

The invention relates to an apparatus (1) for exercising the muscles, comprising a support structure (30) and also a first exercise unit (10) and a second exercise unit (20), wherein each of these exercise units (10, 20) has a force arm (2, 2') with a first end (3, 3'), which can be equipped with actuation elements (4, 4'), and a second end (5, 5'), a holding element (6, 6') with a first end region (7, 7'), on which a first joint (8, 8') is arranged about which the second end (5, 5') of the force arm can be arranged pivotably about a pivot axis (9, 9'), and with a second end region (11, 11'), a resistance element (12, 12') for generating a resistance force (13, 13') against which the force arm (2, 2') can be actuated, wherein the resistance element (12, 12') can be articulated with a first end portion (14, 14') on a first articulation point (15, 15') on the force arm (2, 2') and with a second end portion (16, 16') on a second articulation point (17, 17') on the second end region (11, 11') of the holding element (6, 6'), and a carrier (31, 31') for fastening the exercise unit (10, 20) to the support structure (30). The first exercise unit (10) and the second exercise unit (20) can be arranged spatially separate from each other on the support structure (30) in such a way that they are connectable to each other releasably and with play by means of a connection element (40), and in such a way that the respective resistance forces (13, 13') of the first exercise unit (10) and of the second exercise unit (20) can be individually adjusted independently of each other. This exercise unit permits maximum flexibility in terms of the resistance force of the first and second exercise units.

Abstract

An apparatus for exercising the muscles. The apparatus includes an exercising device having a power arm or lever, which can be equipped with actuating elements at a first end of the power arm or lever. A second end of the power arm or lever is arranged on a retaining element in a way pivotable about a pivot axis at a first articulated joint. A compression-spring element can be articulated, by way of a first end of the compression-spring element at a first point of articulation on the power arm and articulated, by way of a second end of the compression-spring element at a second point of articulation on the retaining element. A cable-pull arrangement has a cable and is fixed in a releasable manner in a spatial relationship to the exercising device, independently of the exercising device, by means of a first fixing device and is able to be combined with the power arm of the exercising device by means of a second fixing device, so that the cable-pull arrangement is connectible to the exercising device in order for training to take place.

Abstract

An apparatus (1) for exercising muscles comprises a power arm (2), which is pivotable about a pivot shaft (5), which is disposed on a holding element (6). The first articulation point (7) at which a compression spring element (9) is linked to the power arm (2) is adjustable along the power arm (2). To achieve this, one end region (8) of the compression spring element (9) is provided with a first joint surface (14), and a series of second joint surfaces (16), which are designed complementary to the first joint surface (14), is disposed across an adjustment zone (10) along the power arm (2). The first joint surface (14) is operatively connectible to one of the second joint surfaces (16), and the power arm (2) is pressed via a further spring element (18) toward the one end region (8) of the compression spring element (9) such that the two operatively connected joint surfaces are kept in contact with each other. Resulting thereby is a simple possibility of adjustment of the force to be applied to the power arm.

Abstract

An apparatus (1) for training muscles comprises a power arm (2) that can pivot about a pivot pin (5) located on a holding element (6). The first linkage point (7) at which a compression spring element (9) is linked to the power arm (2) can be adjusted along the power arm (2). In order to be able to do so, one end region (8) of the compression spring element (9) has a first joint surface (14), and a series of second joint surfaces (16) which are complementary to the first joint surface (14) is located across an adjustment zone (10) along the power arm (2). The first joint surface (14) can be operatively connected to one of the second joint surfaces (16), and the power arm (2) is pressed by another spring element (18) against the one end region (8) of the compression spring element (9) such that the two operatively connected joint surfaces remain in contact with each other. This makes it easy to adjust the force to be applied to the power arm.

Abstract

An apparatus for exercising the muscles, comprising a power arm having actuating elements at one end area, and where the other end of the power arm is pivotally connected to a holding element through a first hinge. The apparatus further comprises a spring element, wherein one end of the spring element is linked to the power arm at a first articulation point, and a second end of the spring element is linked to the holding element through a second articulation point. A support is further included which lies on an imaginary plane defined by an x-axis and a y-axis. The holding element is connected to the support by a rotary hinge which allows the holding element to rotate with respect to the support about a shaft which lies on an axis that is normal to the imaginary plane.

Abstract

An apparatus (1) for exercising the muscles comprises a power arm (2) which, at one end area (3), is equipped with actuating elements (4) and, with the other end area (5), is pivotable about a first joint (9). This first joint (9) is arranged on a holding element (6). One end area (10) of a spring element (11) is articulated on the power arm (2) at a first articulation point (12), while the other end area (13) is articulated on the holding element (6). The holding element (6) is connected to a support (17) via a rotary joint, is rotatable about this support (17) in one plane and can be locked in each suitably adjusted rotation position. This apparatus allows a wide variety of muscle groups to be exercised and moved in a very simple way.
