Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Gymnastikgerät gemäß Oberbegriff Patentanspruch 1.The invention relates to a gymnastic apparatus according to the preamble of claim 1.

Gymnastikgeräte oder -stäbe dieser Art sind in verschiedenen Ausführungen bekannt (beispielsweise DE 20 2005 020 652 U1 , DE-U-202007008017 ) und bieten unterschiedliche Möglichkeiten für gymnastische oder sportliche Übungen, u.a. auch durch Fassen des Gerätes an einem in der Mitte vorgesehenen Handgriff und durch Versetzen des Stabes bzw. der mit den Gewichten versehenen Stabenden in schwingende Bewegungen.Gymnastic equipment or rods of this type are known in various designs (for example DE 20 2005 020 652 U1 . DE-U-202007008017 ) and offer different possibilities for gymnastic or sporting exercises, including by grasping the device to a handle provided in the middle and by moving the rod or the weights provided with rod ends in swinging movements.

Nachteilig ist bei bekannten Gymnastikgeräten ihre relativ große Länge, die u.a. den Transport und/oder die Lagerung erschwert. Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es ein Gymnastikgerät aufzuzeigen, welches diesen Nachteil vermeidet.A disadvantage of known gymnastics their relatively large length, the u.a. difficult to transport and / or storage. The object of the invention is to show a gymnastic apparatus which avoids this disadvantage.

Das erfindungsgemäße Gymnastikgerät ist zweiteilig mit zwei lösbar miteinander verbundenen Geräteteilen ausgebildet. Hierdurch besteht die Möglichkeit das Gymnastikgerät für den Transport und/oder die Lagerung in seine beiden Teile zu trennen.The gymnastic apparatus according to the invention is formed in two parts with two detachably connected device parts. This makes it possible to separate the gymnastics device for transport and / or storage in its two parts.

Bei der Verwendung des Gymnastikgerätes treten aufgrund der schwingenden Bewegung der Gewichte und des elastischen Verformens des Stabes erhebliche Kräfte zwischen dem Stab und dem Handgriff auf. Dies führt insbesondere bei einer zweiteiligen Ausbildung, die ein Trennen des Stabes in zwei Stabelemente oder Stabteile voraussetzt, zu ganz erheblichen, sich ständig ändernden, d.h. dynamischen Belastungen und Biegeelementen zwischen dem jeweiligen Griffteil und dem an diesem vorgesehenen Stabteil. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung ist ein Lösen des jeweiligen Stabelementes von dem zugehörigen Griffteil bzw. ein Brechen des Gymnastikgerätes am Griffteil und dadurch bedingte eventuelle Verletzungen wirksam vermieden.When using the gymnastic device occur due to the oscillatory movement of the weights and the elastic deformation of the rod considerable forces between the rod and the handle. This leads, in particular in a two-part design, which requires a separation of the rod into two rod elements or rod parts, to very considerable, constantly changing, ie dynamic loads and bending elements between the respective handle part and the rod part provided thereon. The inventive construction a release of the respective rod element of the associated handle part or a breaking of the gymnastic device on the handle part and consequent possible injury is effectively avoided.

Das in den Figuren allgemein mit 1 bezeichnete Gymnastikgerät besteht im Wesentlichen aus einem Stab 2 aus einem elastischen Material, beispielsweise aus Glasfaser, an dessen Enden jeweils ein beispielsweise als Formteil aus Kunststoff ausgebildetes Massengewicht 3 vorgesehen. In der Mitte ist der Stab 2 mit einem Handgriff 4 versehen.The generally designated 1 in the figures gymnastics device consists essentially of a rod 2 made of an elastic material, for example made of glass fiber, at the ends of each one designed, for example, as a molded plastic part mass weight 3. In the middle of the rod 2 is provided with a handle 4.

Eine Besonderheit des Gymnastikgerätes oder -stabes 1 besteht darin, dass es zur Reduzierung der Transport- und/oder Lagerlänge im Bereich des Handgriffes 4 teilbar ist, d.h. aus zwei lösbar miteinander verbundenen Teilen besteht, von denen jedes ein Stabelement 2.1 bzw. 2.2 mit einem Gewicht 3 an einem Ende und mit einer Handgriffhälfte oder einem Griffelement 4.1 bzw. 4.2 am anderen Ende des Stabelementes aufweist.A special feature of the gymnastic apparatus or staff 1 is that it is divisible to reduce the transport and / or storage length in the region of the handle 4, that consists of two releasably interconnected parts, each of which a bar element 2.1 or 2.2 with a Has weight 3 at one end and with a handle half or a handle element 4.1 or 4.2 at the other end of the rod element.

Das Gymnastikgerät 1 wird beispielsweise so verwendet, dass der Handgriff 4 mit einer Hand gegriffen und dann durch Bewegen des Handgriffes 4 radial zum Stab 2 dieser Stab mit seinen Gewichten 3 in Schwingung versetzt wird.The gymnastic apparatus 1 is used, for example, so that the handle 4 is gripped with one hand and then moved by moving the handle 4 radially to the rod 2 of this rod with its weights 3 in vibration.

Die Figuren 2 und 3 zeigen in vereinfachter Darstellung jeweils einen Längsschnitt durch die miteinander verbindbaren und voneinander lösbaren Handgriffelemente 4.1 und 4.2. Wie die Figuren zeigen, ist jedes Handgriffelement innen liegend mit einer Halte- und Verbindungs-Struktur 5.1 bzw. 5.2 versehen, die aus einem hochbelastbaren Werkstoff, beispielsweise aus Stahl besteht. Die Struktur 5.1 ist bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform von einer äußeren kreiszylinderförmigen Hülse 6 und einer innen liegenden, konzentrisch zu der äußeren Hülse 6 angeordneten Hülse 7 gebildet. Beide Hülsen 6 und 7 sind an einem Ende über einen Wandabschnitt 8 miteinander verbunden, und zwar in der Form, dass die innere Hülse 7 in eine Öffnung des Wandabschnitts 8 hineinreicht, der sowohl mit der Hülse 6, als auch mit der Hülse 7 in geeigneter Weise, beispielsweise durch Verschweißen oder Hartlöten verbunden ist.The FIGS. 2 and 3 show in a simplified representation in each case a longitudinal section through the interconnectable and detachable handle elements 4.1 and 4.2. As the figures show, each handle element is provided internally lying with a holding and connecting structure 5.1 and 5.2, which consists of a heavy-duty material, such as steel. The structure 5.1 is formed in the illustrated embodiment by an outer circular cylindrical sleeve 6 and an inner, concentric with the outer sleeve 6 arranged sleeve 7. Both sleeves 6 and 7 are connected at one end via a wall portion 8 with each other, in the form that the inner sleeve 7 extends into an opening of the wall portion 8, with both the sleeve 6, and with the sleeve 7 in suitable Way, for example by welding or brazing is connected.

Grundsätzlich besteht auch die Möglichkeit, die äußere Hülse 6 durch ein geeignetes Verfahren, beispielsweise durch Tiefziehen oder Stauchen mit dem Wandabschnitt 8 herzustellen oder aber anstelle des Wandabschnittes 8 die äußere Hülse 6 so zu formen, dass sie mit einem sich im Querschnitt reduzierten Abschnitt 6.1 die innere Hülse 7 umschließt und mit diesem Abschnitt mit der Innenhülse 7 in geeigneter Weise, beispielsweise durch Verschweißen oder Hartlöten verbunden ist, wie dies in der Figur 2 mit der unterbrochenen Linie 6.1 angedeutet ist, sodass der Wandabschnitte 8 entfallen kann. In der inneren Hülse 7 ist das Stabelement 2.1 mit einem Ende passend aufgenommen und dort in geeigneter Weise, beispielsweise durch Klemmsitz oder auf andere Weise fixiert, sodass das Stabelement 2.1 sich mit einer Teillänge innerhalb der Hülse 7 erstreckt und mit der weitaus größeren Teillänge aus der dem Wandabschnitt 8 oder dem Abschnitt 6.1 abgewandten offenen Seite der Hülse 7 vorsteht. An der den offenen Seiten der Hülsen 6 und 7 abgewandten Seite ist an dem Trag- und Verbindungselement oder -struktur 5.1 ein Muttergewindestück 9 mit einem Innengewinde vorgesehen, welches achsgleich mit der gemeinsamen Achse der Hülsen 6 und 7 angeordnet ist. Die Tragstruktur 5.1 und das Muttergewindestück 9, welches beispielsweise ebenfalls durch Verschweißen oder Hartlöten mit der inneren Hülse 7 oder dem Wandabschnitt 8 verbunden ist, sind mit einem die Außenfläche des im Wesentlichen zylinderförmigen Griffelementes 4.1 bildenden Elastomer 10, beispielsweise mit thermoplastischen Elastomer umspritzt, und zwar derart, dass die den Hülsen 6 und 7 abgewandte Seite des Muttergewindestücks 9 und die dortige Gewindeöffnung freiliegen. Das Elastomer bildet die Außenfläche des im Wesentlichen zylinderförmigen Griffelementes und umschließt das Tragelement oder die Tragstruktur 5.1 sowie das Muttergewindestück 9 mit Ausnahme der den Hülsen 6 und 7 abgewandten Stirnseite des Muttergewindestücks 9 vollständig, sodass auch im Bereich der äußeren Hülse 6 das Elastomer 10 eine eine weiche Grifffläche sicherstellende Schicht bildet. Weiterhin ist auch der Raum zwischen den Hülsen 6 und 7 vollständig mit dem Elastomer 10 ausgefüllt. Um das Umspritzen des mit dem Stabelement 2.1 vormontierten Tragelementes 5.1 zu erleichtern und insbesondere auch das Einbinden des Tragelementes 5.1 in das Elastomer 10 zu verbessern, sind in der äußeren Hülse 6 Öffnungen 11 vorgesehen, die nach dem Umspritzen ebenfalls mit dem Elastomer 10 ausgefüllt sind.In principle, it is also possible to produce the outer sleeve 6 by a suitable method, for example by deep drawing or compression with the wall section 8 or instead of the wall section 8, the outer sleeve 6 to form so that they with a section reduced in section 6.1 inner sleeve 7 surrounds and is connected to this section with the inner sleeve 7 in a suitable manner, for example by welding or brazing, as shown in the FIG. 2 is indicated with the broken line 6.1, so that the wall sections 8 can be omitted. In the inner sleeve 7, the rod element 2.1 is suitably accommodated with one end and fixed there in a suitable manner, for example by clamping fit or otherwise, so that the rod element 2.1 extends with a partial length within the sleeve 7 and with the much greater part length from the the wall section 8 or the section 6.1 facing away from open side of the sleeve 7 protrudes. At the open sides of the sleeves 6 and 7 side facing away from the support and connecting element or structure 5.1 a nut threaded piece 9 is provided with an internal thread, which is coaxially with the common axis the sleeves 6 and 7 is arranged. The support structure 5.1 and the nut threaded piece 9, which is also connected, for example, by welding or brazing with the inner sleeve 7 or the wall portion 8, with an outer surface of the substantially cylindrical handle element 4.1 forming elastomer 10, for example, encapsulated with thermoplastic elastomer, namely such that the sleeves 6 and 7 facing away from the side of the female threaded part 9 and the local threaded opening exposed. The elastomer forms the outer surface of the substantially cylindrical grip element and surrounds the support element or the support structure 5.1 and the nut thread piece 9 with the exception of the sleeves 6 and 7 facing away from the end face of the nut threaded piece 9 completely, so that in the outer sleeve 6, the elastomer 10 a soft grip surface ensures ensuring layer. Furthermore, the space between the sleeves 6 and 7 is completely filled with the elastomer 10. In order to facilitate the encapsulation of the pre-assembled with the rod element 2.1 support element 5.1 and in particular to improve the integration of the support element 5.1 in the elastomer 10, 6 openings 11 are provided in the outer sleeve, which are also filled with the elastomer 10 after encapsulation.

Das Griffelement 4.2 ist mit dem Tragelement 5.2 ausgebildet, welches wiederum die an einem Ende miteinander verbundenen Hülsen 6 und 7 aufweist, von denen die innere Hülse 7 zur Aufnahme und Fixierung des dem Gewicht 3 entferntliegenden Endes des Stabelementes 2.2 dient.The grip element 4.2 is formed with the support element 5.2, which in turn has the sleeves 6 and 7 connected to one end, of which the inner sleeve 7 serves to receive and fix the weight 3 remote end of the rod element 2.2.

Das Griffelement 4.2 bzw. dessen Tragelement 5.2 unterscheiden sich vom Griffelement 4.1 bzw. vom Tragelement 5.1 lediglich dadurch, dass anstelle des Muttergewindestückes 9 an der der offenen Seite der Hülsen 6 und 7 abgewandten Seite des Tragelementes 5.2 ein Gewindebolzen 12 vorgesehen ist, der in das Gewinde des Muttergewindestücks 9 einschraubbar ist. Das Tragstück 5.2 ist mit dem Elastomer 10 zur Bildung des ebenfalls im Wesentlichen zylinderförmigen Griffelementes 4.2 derart umspritzt, dass das Tragelement 2 wiederum vollständig in dem Elastomer eingebettet ist, der Raum zwischen den Hülsen 6 und 7 insbesondere auch durch die Öffnungen 11 vollständig mit dem Elastomer 10 ausgefüllt ist und lediglich der Gewindebolzen 12 freiliegt, sodass dieser zum Verbinden der beiden Teile des Gymnastikgerätes 1 in das Gewinde des Muttergewindestückes 9 eingeschraubt werden kann.The grip element 4.2 or its support element 5.2 differ from the grip element 4.1 or from the support element 5.1 only in that instead of the threaded nut piece 9 on the side facing away from the open side of the sleeves 6 and 7 side of the support element 5.2, a threaded bolt 12 is provided in the Thread of the nut threaded piece 9 can be screwed. The support piece 5.2 is encapsulated with the elastomer 10 to form the likewise substantially cylindrical grip element 4.2 such that the support member 2 is in turn completely embedded in the elastomer, the space between the sleeves 6 and 7 in particular through the openings 11 completely with the elastomer 10 is completed and only the threaded bolt 12 is exposed, so that it can be screwed for connecting the two parts of the gymnastic apparatus 1 in the thread of the nut threaded piece 9.

Die beschriebene Ausführungsform der Griffelemente 4.1 und 4.2 stellt eine zuverlässige Verankerung der beiden Stabelement 2.1 und 2.2 an diesen Griffelementen sicher. Insbesondere ist auch sichergestellt, dass selbst bei extremer Betätigung des Gymnastikgerätes 1 ein Brechen dieses Gerätes und der Stabelemente 2.1 und 2.2 im Bereich des Handgriffs 4 nicht zu befürchten ist, und zwar trotz der Zweiteiligkeit des Gerätes bzw. des Stabes 2.The described embodiment of the handle elements 4.1 and 4.2 ensures reliable anchoring of the two rod element 2.1 and 2.2 on these handle elements. In particular, it is also ensured that even with extreme actuation of the gymnastic apparatus 1, a breakage of this apparatus and of the bar elements 2.1 and 2.2 in the region of the handle 4 is not to be feared, in spite of the bipartite nature of the appliance or bar 2.

Da der Raum zwischen den Hülsen 6 und 7 jeweils mit dem Elastomer 10 vollständig ausgefüllt ist, steht auf großer Fläche eine Verbindung zwischen diesen beiden Hülsen, sodass Kräfte zuverlässig von der Außenfläche des Handgriffes 4 auf den Stab 2 bzw. auf die beiden Stabelemente 2.1 und 2.2 übertragen werden. Die Hülsen 6 dienen u.a. zur Verstärkung der Grifffläche des Handgriffs 4 bzw. der Griffelemente 4.1 und 4.2.Since the space between the sleeves 6 and 7 is completely filled with the elastomer 10 is on a large area a connection between these two sleeves, so that forces reliably from the outer surface of the handle 4 on the rod 2 and on the two rod elements 2.1 and 2.2 be transferred. The sleeves 6 serve u.a. for reinforcing the gripping surface of the handle 4 and the handle elements 4.1 and 4.2.

Bei beiden Griffelementen 4.1 und 4.2 besitzt jeweils die innere Hülse 7 eine kürzere axiale Länge als die äußere Hülse 6, sodass zwischen dem den Wandabschnitt 8 entfernt liegenden freien Ende der inneren Hülse 7, in der das jeweilige Ende des Stabelementes 2.1 bzw. 2.2 aufgenommen ist, und dem Ende der äußeren Hülse 6 ein Raum gebildet ist, der vollständig von dem das jeweilige Stabelement umgebenden elastomeren Material ausgefüllt ist, wodurch sich bei hoher mechanischer Festigkeit der Verbindung zwischen dem Stabelement 2.1 bzw. 2.2 und dem Griffelement 4.1 bzw. 4.2 auch ein optimales Schwingungsverhalten für den genannten Gymnastikstab 1 ergibt.In both handle elements 4.1 and 4.2 each have the inner sleeve 7 has a shorter axial length than the outer sleeve 6, so between the wall section 8 remote free end of the inner sleeve 7, in which the respective end of the rod element 2.1 and 2.2 is added , And the end of the outer sleeve 6, a space is formed, which is completely filled by the surrounding the respective rod member elastomeric material, whereby at high mechanical strength of the connection between the rod element 2.1 or 2.2 and the handle element 4.1 or 4.2 also a optimal vibration behavior for said gymnastics 1 results.

Die Erfindung wurde voranstehend an einem Ausführungsbeispiel beschrieben. Es versteht sich, dass zahlreiche Änderungen sowie Abwandlungen möglich sind, ohne das dadurch der der Erfindung zugrunde liegende Erfindungsgedanke verlassen wird.The invention has been described above by means of an embodiment. It is understood that numerous changes and modifications are possible without thereby departing from the inventive idea underlying the invention.
