TRAINING DEVICE

Abstract

A training device in the form of a bar has a length that corresponds to at least the length of the spinal column and the head of the user when the user lies down on the training device lengthwise with his/her back, wherein the user's spinal column and head come to lie on the bar. The bar is a composite bar that has a core composed of a hard material and a mantle composed of a soft material.

Claims

1. A training device (10) in the form of a bar that has a length that corresponds to at least the length of the spinal column and the head of the user when the user lies down on the training device lengthwise with his/her back, wherein the user's spinal column and head come to lie on the bar, wherein the bar is a composite bar that has a core (12) composed of a hard material and a mantle (14) composed of a soft material.

2. The training device (10) according to claim 1, wherein the core (12) comprises plastic, wood or metal.

3. The training device (10) according to claim 1, wherein the mantle (14) comprises foam material.

4. The training device (10) according to claim 1, wherein the core (12) is configured as a tube or preferably as a rod, and the mantle (14) is configured as a tube, wherein the core (12) configured as a tube or a rod is inserted into the tube configured as the mantle (14), so as to produce the composite bar, preferably in a reversible manner.

5. The training device (10) according to claim 1, wherein the composite bar has an oval or preferably a circular cross-section.

6. The training device (10) according to claim 1, wherein the length of the composite bar amounts to 100 to 200 cm.

7. The training device (10) according to claim 1, wherein the diameter of the composite bar amounts to 50 to 90 mm, preferably 60 to 80 mm.

8. The training device (10) according to claim 1, wherein the diameter of the core (12) amounts to 15 to 30 mm.

9. The training device (10) according to claim 1, wherein the wall thickness of the mantle (14) amounts to 20 to 40% of the diameter of the composite bar.

Description

[0019] In the following, the invention will be explained using an exemplary embodiment that is shown in the drawing. In the drawing, the figures show:

[0020] FIG. 1 a schematic top view of an end face of the training device according to the invention,

[0021] FIG. 2 a schematic perspective view of the training device according to the invention, and

[0022] FIG. 3 a schematic longitudinal sectional view of the training device according to the invention.

[0023] If the same reference symbols are used in the figures, these refer to the same parts, so that for the purpose of avoiding repetition, an element that has already been described in a figure description does not need to be discussed again in another figure description.

[0024] The training device 10 according to the invention, shown in different schematic representations in FIGS. 1-3, is a composite bar having a core 12 configured as a round rod, composed of a hard material, in particular of wood, and having a mantle 14 configured as a tube, composed of a soft material, in particular of foam rubber. In total, the training device has a round.

[0025] The training device 10 has a length of preferably 1.60 m and a diameter of approximately 8 cm. The diameter of the core 12 amounts to approximately 2.5 cm.

[0026] Such a training device 10 allows a user to position the same 10 on a mattress, so that the user can then lie down on the training device 10 lengthwise, with his/her back, wherein the spinal column and the head of the user come to lie on the composite bar. In this regard, the embodiment of the training device 10 according to the invention has the rigidity required for training or for therapy, supported by the hard core 12 of the composite bar, wherein the soft mantle 14 of the composite bar advantageously prevents the composite bar from excessively sinking into the mattress, so that the desired training effect or therapy effect can be achieved in spite of the absence of a hard surface underneath.
