Abstract

The force curve ruler for exercise machines has one long side corresponding to the force curve of the associated muscle for whose training the relevant force curve ruler is inserted in the corresponding training machine. Both long sides can correspond to the force curve of two identical muscles which are to be built up individually or simultaneously in the corresponding machine. The curve of the force curve ruler can also be straight. The ruller can be mounted for swivel movement or can be rigidly fixed on the apparatus. The ruller can be made from various types of material. ADVANTAGE - The lightweight design allows the weight and manufacturing costs of the exercise machine to be considerably reduced.

Description

Stand der TechnikState of the art

In den bekannten Kraftsportgeräten wird der Kraftkurvenverlauf eines Muskels mittels eines scheibenförmigen Exzenters simuliert. Das Trainingsgewicht wird über Gewichtsplatten erzeugt.In the well-known weight training machines, the strength curve of a muscle simulated by means of a disc-shaped eccentric. The training weight will generated via weight plates.

Als nachteilig wird dabei empfunden, daß bei Geräten mit scheibenförmigen Ex­ zentern der Hub der Gewichtsplatte groß ist und der dafür erforderliche Ge­ wichtsturm entsprechend hoch sein muß. Die Größe des Gewichtsturmes hat wei­ tere Nachteile wieIt is perceived as a disadvantage that devices with disc-shaped Ex center the stroke of the weight plate is large and the required Ge weight storm must be correspondingly high. The size of the weight tower has white other disadvantages like

  • - großes Gewicht,- great weight,
  • - Transportschwierigkeiten in Treppenhäusern ohne Lastenaufzug,- transportation difficulties in stairwells without freight elevator,
  • - größeres Gewicht bedingt höheren Materialpreis,- greater weight means higher material price,
  • - höherer Materialpreis bedingt höheren Verkaufspreis,- higher material price means higher sales price,
  • - beschränkte designerische Möglichkeiten,- limited design options,
  • - psychologischer Negativeffekt als "große Maschine",- psychological negative effect as a "big machine",
  • - mehrere verschieden hohe Gewichtstürme,- several weight towers of different heights,
  • - daraus resultierend: keine kostengünstige Herstellung,- as a result: no inexpensive manufacture,
  • - keine kostengünstige Lagerhaltung.- No inexpensive warehousing.

Das erfindungsgemäße Kraftkurvenlineal bewirkt in allen genannten Punkten wesentliche Verbesserungen:The force curve ruler according to the invention brings about all of the points mentioned significant improvements:

  • - kleinstmögliche Bauhöhe des Gewichtsturmes (ca. 1,20 m),- smallest possible height of the weight tower (approx. 1.20 m),
  • - einheitliche Baugruppe des Gewichtsturmes für alle Geräte, die derzeit mit scheibenförmigen Exzentern ausgerüstet sind,- Uniform assembly of the weight tower for all devices that are currently using disc-shaped eccentrics are equipped,
  • - Trainingsgewichtswahl bei den Geräten von der Sitz-/Liegeposition aus,- Training weight selection for the devices from the sitting / lying position,
  • - vereinfachte Plexiglasabdeckung für den deutschen Markt,- simplified plexiglass cover for the German market,
  • - vielfältige designerische Varianten,- diverse design variants,
  • - Reduzierung des Gesamtgewichtes,- reduction of the total weight,
  • - erhebliche fertigungstechnische Vereinfachung,- considerable simplification of production engineering,
  • - vereinfachte Logistik bei der Herstellerfirma,- simplified logistics at the manufacturing company,
  • - preiswerterer Materialeinkauf,- cheaper material purchases,
  • - besserer Platzausnutzung von Transportfläche,- better use of space in the transport area,
  • - geringerer Transportpreis,- lower transport price,
  • - besserer Transport in Treppenhäusern ohne Lastenaufzüge,- better transport in stairwells without freight lifts,
  • - psychologischer Vorteil: das "Großmaschinenhafte" bzw. das Image von "Foltergeräten" entfällt,- Psychological advantage: the "big machine" or the image of "Torture devices" are omitted,
  • - kleinstmögliche Stellfläche pro Gerät,- smallest possible footprint per device,
  • - der Einsatz eines einstellbaren Bewegungsbegrenzungssystems ist ohne jede Einschränkung möglich,- The use of an adjustable movement limitation system is without any Restriction possible,
  • - der Einsatz von Elektronik erfährt vom Grundsatz her keinerlei Einschränkung.- The use of electronics is fundamentally not restricted.
Beschreibungdescription

Kraftkurvenlineal für Kraftsportgeräte, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß es den Kraftkurvenverlauf eines menschlichen Muskels nicht als scheiben­ förmigen Exzenter, sondern als streckenartige Kurve darstellt. Der Kurven­ verlauf des Kraftkurvenlineals orientiert sich an dem jeweiligen Kraftkur­ venverlauf des jeweiligen menschlichen Muskels.Force curve ruler for weight training equipment, characterized in that it doesn’t look like the force curve of a human muscle shaped eccentric, but as a route-like curve. The curves The course of the force curve ruler is based on the respective force curve course of the respective human muscle.

Der Einsatz des Kraftkurvenlineals bewirkt Gewichtssenkung der Kraftsport­ geräte, Kostensenkung durch Fertigungsvereinfachung, vereinfachte Lager­ haltung von Einzelteilen bzw. Baugruppen, tritt dem psychologischen Nega­ tiveffekt des "Großmaschinenhaften" massiv entgegen und verringert Trans­ portprobleme (z. B. in Treppenhäusern ohne Lastenaufzüge) mit den damit verbundenen Kosten.The use of the strength curve ruler causes weight reduction in strength training devices, cost reduction through simplification of production, simplified storage holding individual parts or assemblies occurs to the psychological nega effective effect of the "large machine-like" massively counteracts and reduces Trans port problems (e.g. in stairwells without freight elevators) with them associated costs.

An Hand der Zeichnung wird der Einsatz des erfindungsgemäßen Kraftkurvenli­ neals beispielsweise dargestellt.The drawing shows the use of the force curve according to the invention for example.

Das Kraftkurvenlineal (1) ist am Grundrahmen (2) beweglich geführt. Ein Seil (3) führt über Rollen (4) zum absteckbaren Gewichtspaket (5). Zwischen dem Kraftkurvenlineal (1) und zweier parallel verlaufender Führungen (6) wird mittels Muskelkraft über die Achse (7) und dem Seil (8) ein Schlitten (9) so bewegt, daß das Kraftkurvenlineal zur Seite gedrückt und das Anheben des Gewichtspaketes (5) bewirkt wird. Der Hub (10) des Gewichtspaketes (5) ist nur so groß, wie der Abstand vom niedrigsten und höchsten Punkt der Kraftkurve (11) groß ist.The force curve ruler ( 1 ) is movably guided on the base frame ( 2 ). A rope ( 3 ) leads over rollers ( 4 ) to the removable weight package ( 5 ). Between the force curve ruler ( 1 ) and two parallel guides ( 6 ), a slide ( 9 ) is moved by means of muscle power via the axis ( 7 ) and the rope ( 8 ) so that the force curve ruler is pushed to the side and the weight package ( 5 ) is effected. The stroke ( 10 ) of the weight package ( 5 ) is only as large as the distance from the lowest and highest point of the force curve ( 11 ) is large.

Läßt die Muskelkraft nach, wird der Schlitten (9) durch das angehobene und sich nun absenkende Gewichtspaket (5) über das Seil (3) und dem beweglich gelagerten Kraftkurvenlineal (1) in seine Ausgangsposition gedrückt. Die Rollen (12) sind so auf dem Schlitten (9) angeordnet, daß die beiden äußeren Rollenpaare entlang der beiden Führungen (6) geführt sind und die mittlere Rolle (13) entlang dem Kurvenverlauf der Kraftkurve (11) läuft.If the muscle strength diminishes, the sled ( 9 ) is pressed into its starting position by the raised and now lowering weight package ( 5 ) over the rope ( 3 ) and the movably mounted force curve ruler ( 1 ). The rollers ( 12 ) are arranged on the carriage ( 9 ) such that the two outer pairs of rollers are guided along the two guides ( 6 ) and the middle roller ( 13 ) runs along the curve of the force curve ( 11 ).
