Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a gymnastic machine having a closed circuit sliding belt provided with security elements.
  • the invention relates to a closed-circuit sliding belt gymnastic machine of the type comprising a plurality of slats arranged transversely with respect to the running direction of the belt itself, and which forms an exercise surface that allows the user to perform gymnastic workouts, such as running, walking and the like, equipped with safety elements.
  • the sliding belt is automatically moved by an electric motor, and therefore the user must adapt his walk or run according to the sliding speed of the sliding belt.
  • the sliding belts of gymnastic machines on the market comprise slats, provided with a continuous and flat surface and are coupled to the base structure, occupying a part thereof, the remaining part of the base structure is occupied by the frame of the base structure itself.
  • a disadvantage of known machines is represented by the fact that if a user distracts the attention during a gymnastic workout or encounters a problem in the execution of the same, he can mistakenly place a foot outside the area of the base structure occupied by the sliding belt, for example on the frame of the base structure, while the remaining foot rests on the moving belt.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a gymnastic machine with a sliding belt with slats provided with safety elements for the user placed close to an operating gymnastic machine.
  • a gymnastic machine comprising a base structure comprising a first and a second longitudinal member, a sliding belt, on which a user can perform a gymnastic exercise, arranged between said first and second longitudinal member, configured for rotating according to a sliding direction and comprising a plurality of slats arranged side by side according to a transversal direction to said sliding direction and hinged to one other, said gymnastic machine being characterized in that at least one slat of said plurality of slats is provided with at least one security element.
  • said at least one slat comprises a first end and a second end, and said at least one security element is arranged in correspondence of said first or said second end.
  • said at least one slat is provided with a security element arranged in correspondence of said first end and a security element arranged in correspondence of said second end.
  • two or more slats of said plurality of slats are provided with at least one security element.
  • each slat of said plurality of slats is provided with at least one security element.
  • each slat of said plurality of slats is provided with one security element arranged in correspondence of said first end and a security element arranged in correspondence of said second end.
  • said security element is a relief made on said slat.
  • said security element is a thickening of the slat structure.
  • said security element is a plate connectable to said slat.
  • said plate has an L-shape.
  • Said gymnastic machine 1 essentially comprises a base structure 2, having a frame 21, comprising a first side member 22 and a second longitudinal member 23, parallel to each other, between which a sliding belt 3 is mounted, which is moved, according to a sliding direction indicated by X.
  • the gymnastic machine 1 also comprises a support structure 5, coupled to said base structure 2, used by the user during the ascent and the descent from the sliding belt 3, and in some moments, also as a support during the exercise.
  • Said sliding belt 3 is of the type also called "roller shutter-belt", due to the conformation of the operating surface, comprising a plurality of slats 31 a , 31 b , ..., 31 k , ... 31 n side by side, one next to the other according to a direction Y, transverse to the sliding direction X of said sliding belt 3, and articulated to each other.
  • Each slat 31 k of said sliding belt 3 is placed on, and fixed to the sides of two belts arranged below said slats, connected to the electric motor, not shown in the figure.
  • Each slat 31 k has an elongated shape, i.e., it has a prevalent dimension that extends along said Y-axis, and comprises a first end 311 k and a second end 312 k , opposite said first end 311 k .
  • At least one slat 31 k of said plurality of slats 31 a , 31 b , ..., 31 k , ... 31 n is provided with at least one safety element 4.
  • Said safety element is arranged in correspondence with said first end 311 k or said second end 312 k .
  • At least one slat 31 k is provided with a safety element 4, arranged in correspondence with said first end 311 k , and with a safety element 4, arranged in correspondence with said second end 312 k .
  • each slat 31 k of said plurality of slats 31 a , 31 b , ..., 31 k , ... 31 n is provided with a safety element 4, arranged in correspondence with said first end 311 k , and with a safety element 4, arranged in correspondence with said second end 312 k .
  • said safety element 4 is a relief.
  • the preferred configuration provides for the realization of a relief 4 in correspondence with said first end 311 k , and a relief 4 in correspondence with said second end 312 k of said slat 31 k .
  • the user avoids the risk of inadvertently placing a foot on the frame 21 of said gymnastic machine 1 during the workout, risking an injury.
  • Both said relief 4 and said thickening 4' can be realized in each slat 31 n using a suitable "negative" form in the mold used to make the slat 31 n itself.
  • Each slat 31 n comprises an aluminum part 41, 41', which is the structural part, and a rubber part 42, 42', which is the running surface, with specific damping, friction, and the like characteristics.
  • Each slat 31 n can be obtained by co-injection molding or compression of rubber compound in order to obtain the rubber part 42, 42', which is vulcanized on the aluminum support 41, 41'.
  • said safety element 4" is a plate.
  • said plate 4" is L-shaped and is fixed to said slat 31 k by means of fixing means or by means of shape couplings or by gluing.
  • said plate 4" can be fixed in correspondence with at least one end of at least one slat 31 k .
  • said plate 4" can be fixed at both said first 311 k and second 312 k ends of at least one slat 31 k .
  • said plate 4" can be fixed at both said first 311 k and second 312 k ends of each slat 31 k .
  • said plate 4" can be fixed at both the first 311 k and second 312 k ends of N-1 slats 31 k .
  • Said plate 4" can be made of any material and in a color different from the color of the slats 31 k , so as to be visible to a user who comes closer to the gymnastic machine 1 while operating.
  • Said material can also be fluorescent or luminescent, to be visible in poor visibility conditions.
  • the sliding belt 3 moves according to said sliding direction X.
  • the user avoids the risk of inadvertently placing a foot on the frame 21 of said gymnastic machine 1 during the workout, risking an injury.
  • the operation of the gymnastic machine 1 is also unchanged for the safety element 4' of the second embodiment and for the safety element 4" of the third embodiment.
  • said closed-circuit sliding belt gymnastic machine provided with safety elements, allows a user to reposition himself correctly on the sliding belt during the performance of a workout, should he perceive its proximity to the frame of the machine.
  • the safety elements allow a belt to be perceived from a distance, allowing a user to avoid the risk of getting on while the belt is moving.
