DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Example 1
[0039] In
[0040] In general, the device 1 according to the invention consists of three tubular elements coaxially arranged one above the other, namely: a fixed tubular element 4 situated at the base of the device 1, a lower tubular element 5 with possibility to rotation around the vertical axis 6 of the device. 1, an upper tubular member 7 with possibility to rotation around the same axis 6 of the device 1, a cover 8 designated for closing the open upper end of the upper tubular element 7 and a main base plate 9, designated for securing the whole device 1 to the chosen place for training and establishing its stable stationary position. The tubular elements 4, 5 and 7 have the same diameter, forming cavities, respectively 4′, 5′ and 7′ in the common space of which an inner body 18 is situated (
[0041] In the exemplary embodiment of
[0042] The cover 8, in the exemplary embodiment of
[0043] As can be seen in
[0044] The obstacles 2 and 3 of the device 1 according to the invention (
[0045] The magnet 14 provided at the end of the tubular arm 13 is intended to connect the given obstacle 2 or 3 with its corresponding sliding means 10, 10′ from the device 1. The provided magnetic connection, as a way of connecting the obstacles 2, 3 with the sliding means 10, 10′, allows, in the non-operating mode of the device 1, the obstacles to be easily removed from it, which makes the fitness device according to the invention essentially detachable. The magnet 14 is in the form of a plate with a width corresponding to the width of the sliding means 10,10′ to which it adheres under the action of the generated magnetic field between them. In order to obtain the required force of magnetic attraction and force of release of the magnet 14 from the sliding means 10, 10′ it has a larger area than that of the cross section of the tubular arm 13, chosen so that when lightly touching the respective obstacle 2 or 3 of the trainee, to detach it from its carrier—the sliding means 10, respectively 10′ and fall without injuring the trainee, thanks to it lightweight performance. From the point of view of the training process, the presumption of falling of an obstacle 2 or 3, at its light touch, trains the trainee's attention so that this does not happen, i.e. the concentration of the trainee, so that not only muscles but also brain functions are involved in the training process, which is an exclusive advantage of the device according to the invention. Preferably, the force of separation of the magnet 14 from the sliding means 10 is in the range of 0.1-0.2 Kg.
[0046] As can be seen in
[0047] It is important to note that in order to realize of the magnetic connection between the tubular arm 13 and the sliding means 10,10′, the sliding means 10 respectively 10′ must be made of a material which can not only be attracted by the magnet, but also which can retain its magnetic properties. Such are, for example, most types of steel or alloys (mixtures of metals). In this case, the sliding means 10,10′ is made of steel and in particular of low carbon, i.e. mild steel, including because of its plasticity, which makes it possible to achieve the right angle between the two arms 16 and 17 of the sliding means 10,10′. when this is done, for example, by bending.
[0048] In
[0049] As can be seen in
[0050] The main supporting chassis 20 (
[0051] In
[0052] As already mentioned, the lower sub-frame 21 is disposed in the cavity 5′, defined by the lower tubular element 5 and is intended to receive the rotational motion given thereto by the gear 26 transforming the translational motion of the motor into a rotary, generally known from the above-mentioned prior art, incorporated herein by the reference or other gear for the same purpose without to come out from the scope of the present invention. The rotational motion thus received is transmitted to the upper sub-frame 22 disposed in the cavity 7′ of the upper tubular element 7 by the spindle 24. As shown in
[0053] The welded structure 35 (
[0054] As can be seen in
[0055] In
[0056] As mentioned, the upper sub-frame 22 of the inner body 18, shown in more detail in
[0057] The second welded structure 50 is composed of two pairs of tubular rods, a first pair 52 and a second pair 52′, standing parallel to each other and at a distance from each other, defined by openings a.sub.2-a.sub.3 and b.sub.2-b.sub.3 (
[0058] As mentioned, the periphery of the upper base plate 49 is provided with a limiting ring 56. In the limiting ring 56, a cut-out 57 is provided for passing the sliding means 10′ through it when adjusting the suspension height of the upper obstacle 3. And in this case, the sliding means 10′(

Example 2
[0060] The possibility, the lower obstacle 2 and the upper obstacle 3 of the fitness device 1 according to the invention to be detachably attached to it, allows the device 1 to be used for “preparatory adaptation” to the movements, here called “jump” and “squat”, which device 1 obliges the trainee to perform. By “preparatory adaptation” is meant here, for example, the assembly of only one of the obstacles 2 or 3 and the training of only one of the movements which the attached obstacle 2 or 3 obliges to be performed. In
[0061] The device 1 according to the invention provides the same possibility for “preparatory adaptation” also with regard to the “squat” movement, in which only the upper obstacle 3 is attached to the device 1 and only squats are performed. Here, too, the trainee can change the suspension height of the upper obstacle 3 by moving the magnet 14 from 0 to 400 mm within the effective length of the arm 16 of the sliding means 10′ to which it is attached to adapt and choose the height that would be most suitable for him, in terms of strength and mental load, when switching to the combination of “jump-squat”. It follows from the foregoing that a so-called first possibility for adjusting the suspension height of obstacles 1 and 2 has been formed by moving the magnet 14 along the arm 16 of the sliding means 10,10′ and more precisely, by changing the location of the “magnet-sliding means” magnetic connection.
[0062] A positive quality of the device according to the invention is that it also provides a second possibility for adjusting the height of the suspension of obstacles 1 and 2 by moving the sliders 42 and 51, to which the respective sliding means 10,10′ is detachably attached, along the pair of vertical pipes 38 and respectively the tubular rods 52 and, more precisely, by changing the place of the detachable “sliding means-slider” connection, which change is again defined by the effective length of the sliding means 10,10′ and is in the range from 0 to 400 mm.
[0063] It should be noted the abundant possibilities that the device according to the invention offers in terms of force diversification of the training process, through the two possibilities to change the suspension height adjustment of obstacles 1 and 2, for example only by changing the place of the connection “magnet-sliding means “in the range from 0 to 400 mm, or only by changing the place of the prefabricated connection” sliding means-slider” in the range from 0 to 400 mm or by applying both changes in the range from 0 to 2×400 mm.
[0064] The fitness device according to the invention operates as follows:
A. Preparatory actions:
[0065] the suspension height of the upper obstacle 3 is determined according to the height of the trainee or as a result of a “preparatory adaptation” performed by the trainee in one of the possible ways of adjusting the height described above,
[0066] at the selected height the second slider 51 is screwed with the sliding means 10′ attached to it and/or the magnet is attached to the sliding means 10′,
[0067] the suspension height of the lower obstacle 2 is determined according to the trainee's wish or as a result of a “preparatory adaptation” performed by the trainee in one of the possible ways of adjusting the height described above,
[0068] at the selected height the slider 42 is locked with a screw with the sliding means 10 attached to it and/or the magnet 14 is attached to the sliding means 10.
In this situation, the device is ready for use.
B. Actual actions:
[0069] the trainee stands on the training place, which is a circular area around the axis 6 of the device 1, with a radius defined by the length of the lower and upper obstacles 2 and 3, respectively, i.e. with a radius in the range up to 200 mm and preferably 115 mm,
[0070] the engine 25 is started, whereby the lower sub-frame 21 with the lower tubular element 3 attached to it and the lower obstacle 2 attached to the inner body 18 and the upper sub-frame 22 with the upper tubular element 7 attached to it, and attached to inner body 18 upper obstacle 3 start to rotate about the axis 6 of the device 1 in the same direction, arriving sequentially and alternately in the training place/not shown/, where the trainer makes a jump, when the lower obstacle 2 reaches at him and performs squatting, when the upper obstacle 3 reaches at him, in continuously repeated cycles “jump-squat”.
