Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a physical training implement for exercising abdominal muscles.
  • Prior gymnastic implements of the above mentioned type conventionally comprise a bearing frame, a resting or supporting base as well as a pair of cross supporting elements.
  • the implement construction comprises moreover a pedestal which is firmly anchored to the floor.
  • the provided physical exercising is of a type involving a strengthening of the abdominal muscles.
  • these abdominal muscles operate, for example, in a case in which the bearing base of the implement would not be in a perfect equilibrium condition with respect to the floor.
  • the aim of the present invention is to overcome the above mentioned drawbacks, by providing a physical training implement, specifically designed for gymnastic applications, allowing to exercise all the muscles operating for holding the implement in an equilibrium condition on an unstable base.
  • a main object of the present invention is to provide such a physical training implement which is also suitable to exercise those muscles which, in conventional training implements, would not be involved in the gymnastic exercises such as, for example, the side abdominal muscles.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide such a physical training implement which is very safe and reliable in operation.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide such a physical training implement which can be also used in small rooms such as, for example, apartment rooms and palestra rooms.
  • a physical training implement for exercising abdominal muscles, according to claim 1.
  • the physical training implement comprises an implement structure 1, including a supporting frame 2, a bearing base 3 and a pair of cross supporting elements 4.
  • the bearing base 3 and pair of cross supporting elements 4 are connected to the supporting frame 2.
  • figure 1 is substantially analogous to prior physical training implements for exercising abdominal muscles.
  • the structure 1 comprises supporting means specifically designed for allowing, as the implement is used, the structure 1 to swing in a longitudinal and/or cross middle plane thereof.
  • said supporting means can comprise a pair of curved elements 5a and 5b which are coupled, at respective end portions thereof, to the bottom portion of the pedestal 6 of the structure 1 and being arranged transversely of the longitudinal middle plane of the structure 1.
  • the two curved elements 5a and 5b are arranged parallel to one another and are spaced from one another along the longitudinal extension of the structure 1.
  • the two curved elements 5a and 5b bear, by the curved sides thereof, on the floor so as to allow, as the implement is used, the structure 1 to swing transversely of the longitudinal middle plane thereof.
  • the curved elements which, in this figure, have been indicated by the reference numbers 7a and 7b, can be directly formed on the same pedestal or supporting base 6 as the structure 1.
  • Figure 2 illustrates another embodiment of the subject implement in which the supporting means of the structure 1, which allow, likewise to the embodiments shown in figures 1 and 3, the structure 1 to swing transversely of the longitudinal middle plane thereof, comprise a curved supporting element 8, bearing its curved side against the floor and being coupled to the bottom portion of the pedestal 6.
  • the swinging of the structure 1 instead of being provided by using a pair of curved elements 5a, 5b or 7a, 7b, is provided by continuous type of curved surface, the curvature axis thereof substantially lays on the longitudinal middle plane of the structure 1.
  • the pedestal 6 preferably comprises a pair of cross elements 9a, 9b spaced from one another in a parallel relationship, along the longitudinal extension of the structure 1 and being coupled at a central portion thereof, by a longitudinal middle beam 10.
  • the supporting means comprise a cap element 11 the base of which is coupled to the bottom portion of the plate 12 in turn coupled under the pedestal 6.
  • the cap element 11 is preferably coupled to a central region of the pedestal 6 of the implement structure, so as to allow said structure to swing in any desired direction.
  • the supporting means comprise a pair of cap elements 13a and 13b which are coupled to the bottom portion of the pedestal 6 and are spaced from one another along the longitudinal extension of the implement.
  • the pedestal 6 is pivoted to bearing foot elements 14a and 14b, about a pivot axis 15, which extends substantially horizontally, and lays in the longitudinal middle plane of the structure 1, so as to allow the structure 1 to swing about said pivot axis 15.
  • Figure 9 shows yet another embodiment, in which the swinging movement of the structure 1, both in a longitudinal direction, and in a cross direction, as well as in a composite manner with respect to said two swinging directions, is obtained by four resilient bearing foot elements, comprising springs 16 which are spaced from one another, from the longitudinal middle plane as well as from the cross middle plane of the structure 1.
  • Figure 10 illustrates yet another embodiment, like that shown in figure 2, in which the supporting means still comprise a curved supporting element 17 which, in this case, includes a curvature or bending axis perpendicular to the longitudinal middle plane of the structure 1.
  • Figures 11 to 14 show yet another embodiment of the subject implement, in which the supporting means comprise a pair of curved supporting elements 18 and 19 which are diagonally fixed to the bottom portion of the pedestal 6 so as to provide two curved bearing surfaces for the pedestal 6.
  • Said curved supporting elements 18 and 19, in particular, cross one another at a central vertical axis of the structure 1 and define two curved bearing surfaces having bending or curvature axes respectively parallel and perpendicular to the longitudinal middle plane of the structure 1, so as to allow said structure 1 to swing both on its longitudinal middle plane and on its cross plane.
  • the implement according to the invention comprises moreover means for limiting the amplitude of the swinging movement of the structure 1.
  • swinging limiting means can simply comprise, as shown in figure 3, side extensions of the cross elements 9a and 9b of the pedestal 6, or they can be also constituted by suitable extensions 20, 21 coupled to the end portions of the cross elements 9a and 9b of the base 6, as shown in figures 4 and 8.
  • the foot element 22, in a vertical equilibrium condition of the implement structure 1, will be spaced from the floor and they can be of a head adjustable type, in order to vary the amplitude of the swinging movement of the structure 1.
  • springs 23 are furthermore provided, for counter-biassing the swinging movement in a set direction, or in the other direction, of the structure 1 about the pivot axis 15.
  • a physical training implement which, owing to its capability of swinging in a longitudinal direction, in a cross direction or in a composite manner along both directions, will allow an user to properly exercise all of his/her abdominal muscles, the side abdominal muscles included.
