DUMBBELL DEVICE FOR TRAINING MUSCLES ON A PERSON

Abstract

The present invention relates to a dumbbell device for training muscles on a person, wherein at least one gripping element is adapted and provided to be raised and/or lowered by the person, and further wherein at least one gripping element is mechanically fixedly, releasably or non-releasably, connected to the weight element and is grippable by the person for the purpose of raising and/or lowering, wherein at least one adjusting element displaces and thereby adjusts a center of gravity of the weight element relative to the gripping element by means of an adjusting weight.

Claims

1. A dumbbell device (100) for exercising muscles on a person, comprising at least one weight element (1), which is arranged and intended to be lifted and/or lowered by the person, at least one gripping element (2) which is mechanically fixedly, releasably or non-releasably, connected to the weight element and which can be gripped by the person for the purpose of lifting and/or lowering, characterized in that at least one adjusting element (3) which is designed and intended for displacing and thus adjusting a center of gravity of the weight element (1) relative to the gripping element (2) by means of an adjusting weight (31).

2. The dumbbell device (100) according to claim 1, characterized in that the adjusting weight (31) is movable along a main extension direction (H2) of the gripping element (2) or at an angle to this main extension direction (H2) of the gripping element (2).

3. The dumbbell device (100) according to claim 2, characterized in that the adjusting weight (31) is guided on or within, i.e. in a cavity (11) of the gripping element (2), and/or a cavity (11) of the weight element (1).

4. The dumbbell device (100) according to claim 1, characterized in that the adjusting element (3) has a guide element (32) by means of which the adjusting weight (31) can be moved back and forth relative to the gripping element (2).

5. The dumbbell device (100) according to claim 4, characterized in that the guide element (32) is arranged on an outer surface of the gripping element (2) or in an inner space (33) of the gripping element (2), in particular wherein the adjusting weight (3) is mechanically connected to the guide element (32).

6. The dumbbell device (100) according to claim 5, characterized in that both the guide element (32) and the adjusting weight (31) are arranged within the gripping element (2).

7. The dumbbell device (100) according to claim 6, characterized in that the adjusting element (3) has a drive element (35) by means of which the adjusting weight (31) can be moved back and forth relative to the gripping element (2), in particular along a direction (H3) running perpendicular to the main extension direction (H2).

8. The dumbbell device (100) according to claim 7, characterized in that the drive element (35) moves the setting weight (31) back and forth along the main extension direction (H2) of the gripping element (2) or at an angle to this main extension direction (H2) of the gripping element (2) with at least one predeterminable frequency, for example periodically or aperiodically.

9. The dumbbell device (100) according to claim 8, characterized in that by means of the drive element (35) a substantially ellipsoidal and/or substantially circular path around a center point defined within the gripping element (2) the adjusting weight (31) is movable.

10. The dumbbell device (100) according to claim 9, characterized in that said path traverses only a partial circumference of an ellipse or circle.

Description

[0021] In the following, the invention mentioned here above will be described in more detail on the basis of an embodiment example and associated FIGURE.

[0022] Thereby, FIG. 1 shows a holding device 100, wherein at least one weight element 1, which is lifted and/or lowered by the person, is shown, and further wherein at least one gripping element 2, which is mechanically fixedly, releasably or non-releasably connected to the weight element 1 and which can be gripped by the person for the purpose of lifting and/or lowering, so that at least one adjusting element 3 displaces and thus adjusts a center of gravity of the weight element 1 relative to the gripping element 2 by means of an adjusting weight 31.

[0023] Moreover, it is shown that the adjustment weight 31 is movable along a main extension direction H2 of the gripping element 2 or at an angle to this main extension direction H2 of the gripping element 2.

[0024] This adjustment weight 31 is guided on or within, i.e. in a cavity 11 of the gripping element 2, and/or a cavity 11 of the weight element 1.

[0025] The adjusting element 3 has a guide element 32, by means of which the adjusting weight 31 can be moved back and forth relative to the gripping element 2 and which is arranged on an outer surface of the gripping element 2 or in an interior 33 of the gripping element 3, in particular wherein the adjusting weight 3 is mechanically connected to the guide element 32. Thereby, both the guide element 32 and the adjustment weight 31 are shown inside the gripping element 2.

[0026] In addition, it is shown that the adjusting element 3 has a drive element 35 by means of which the adjusting weight 31 can be moved back and forth relative to the gripping element 2, in particular along a direction H3 running perpendicular to the main extension direction H2.

[0027] This drive element 35 moves the adjustment weight 31 back and forth along the main extension direction H2 of the gripping element 2 or at an angle to this main extension direction H2 of the gripping element 2 with at least one predeterminable frequency, for example periodically or aperiodically. By means of this drive element 35, a substantially ellipsoidal and/or substantially circular path around a center point defined within the gripping element 2 can move the adjusting weight 31, wherein this path traverses only a partial circumference of an ellipse or a circle.
