Abstract
Description
La présente invention se rattache au secteur technique des moyens de musculation à des fins sportives ou correctives. The present invention relates to the technical sector of bodybuilding means for sports or corrective purposes.
A notre connaissance il n'existe actuellement dans le domaine de l'invention qu'une planche basculante destinée a exercer l'équilibre en s'y plaçant debout. To our knowledge there is currently in the field of the invention only a tilting board intended to exercise balance by standing there.
L'appareil selon l'invention se comPose d'une semelle servant de soutien plantaire reposant sur une rotule. I1 peut être simple ou double suivant que l'usager désire exercer l'un ou les deux pieds. I1 s'utilise en position assise, les Jambes étant verticales ( voir planche 1 fig. 2 et 3 )
La longueur de la semelle est volontairement limitée pour éviter les mouvements de compensation du tarse.The apparatus according to the invention consists of a sole serving as plantar support resting on a patella. It can be simple or double depending on whether the user wishes to exercise one or both feet. It is used in a seated position, the Legs being vertical (see plate 1 fig. 2 and 3)
The length of the sole is deliberately limited to avoid compensating movements of the tarsus.
Le figure 1 représente une solution de construction utilisant une sphère pour rotule. Ici l'appareil destiné au pied droit est vu coté talon. On distingue le bridage 1 du pied sur la semelle 2 . La fixation par lacet n'est pas limi tative,toute autre solution peut être envisagée ; ruban auto agrippant à crochets par exemple. La semelle 2 repose sur la sphère 3 encastrée dans l'embase 4 qui évite les glissements intempestifs. Pour cette même raison la plaque 5 assure l'écartement entre les deux embases,elle peut présenter une surface antidérapante en contact avec le sol. L'écartement des deux embases sur la plaque 5 peut etre réglable. Figure 1 shows a construction solution using a ball joint. Here the device for the right foot is seen on the heel side. There is a bridle 1 of the foot on the sole 2. Attachment by lace is not restrictive, any other solution can be envisaged; self-gripping tape with hooks for example. The sole 2 rests on the sphere 3 embedded in the base 4 which prevents inadvertent slipping. For the same reason the plate 5 ensures the spacing between the two bases, it may have a non-slip surface in contact with the ground. The spacing of the two bases on the plate 5 can be adjustable.
Les fig.4,5,6,7 illustrent les angulations anatomiques 10,11,12,13 nécessaires aux mouvements des diversssarticula- tions du pied. Des taquets 6 fixés sur la sphère permettent de matérialiser ces angulations et servent de repères pour l'exercice. Figs. 4,5,6,7 illustrate the anatomical angulations 10,11,12,13 necessary for the movements of the various joints of the foot. Cleats 6 fixed on the sphere make it possible to materialize these angulations and serve as benchmarks for the exercise.
La fixation de la sphère sous la semelle peut étre réalisée en observant un décentrage ( 5 fim.l) de l'axe de la sphère par rapport à l'axe de la semelle. Ce décentrage est calculé pour permettre les dIvers mouvements dans leur amplitude extraie sans possibilité de lésion articulaire ou ligamentaire. The fixing of the sphere under the sole can be carried out by observing an off-center (5 fim.l) of the axis of the sphere relative to the axis of the sole. This decentering is calculated to allow different movements in their extracted amplitude without the possibility of joint or ligament damage.
Le centre d'oscillation de la semelle peut étire situé sous le talcn du riez à un once comnarable à celle de la semelle i'un ski. The center of oscillation of the sole can be stretched under the talcn of the laugh to an ounce comnarable to that of the sole of a ski.
Des variantes peuvent être retenues polir la construct- tion de l'aPpareil ssns pour autant modifier la nature de l'invention. Ainsi,suivant les fig.8,9,10,11,planche 2 la sphère 3 de la fig. 1 pl.l peut être matérialisée par deux pièces ail tôle ou en plastiqua aui s'enchâssent en croix et sont fixées sous la semelle par les trous 9. Variants can be chosen to polish the construction of the device without changing the nature of the invention. Thus, according to fig.8,9,10,11, plate 2 the sphere 3 of fig. 1 pl. L can be materialized by two pieces of sheet metal or plastic, which are set in a cross and are fixed under the sole by the holes 9.
Chacune de ces pièces comprend deux bossages : qui limitent les angulations 10,11,12,13 en butant contre le socle 4 comme les ergots 6 de la fig.l. Sur les fig.lO et 11 on constste que le fait de retourner la pièce fig.9 de 1800 par rapport à sa position en fig. 10 permet d'obtenir des rotules droites et des rotules gauche. De même,par une disposition judicieuse des trous 9 et des points de fixation sous la semelle,on peut à l'aide de six points prédéterminés assurer le décentrage 5 prévu fig.l an faisant usage d'une unique semelle qui deviendra droite ou gauche seulement après la firation des pièces de la rotule.Each of these parts includes two bosses: which limit the angulations 10,11,12,13 by abutting against the base 4 like the pins 6 of fig.l. On fig.lO and 11 we see that turning the piece fig.9 of 1800 from its position in fig. 10 makes it possible to obtain right ball joints and left ball joints. Likewise, by a judicious arrangement of the holes 9 and the fixing points under the sole, it is possible, with the aid of six predetermined points, to provide the off-center 5 provided for in fig. 1 making use of a single sole which will become right or left. only after the firation of the patella parts.
Sans épuiser pour autant toutes-les solutions possibles, on peut remplacer la sphère 3 et son socle 4 par une articulation à la Cardan,voire des rotules en métal ou en caoutchouc
Lesflg.l2 et 13 illustrent des solutions oû l'oscilla-' tion est assurée par un point de pivot situé au sommet d'une pyramide ou d'une tige s'appliquant sous une cloche solidaire de la semelle. La fig.12 présente une cloche de forme symétrique placée sur une pyramide quadrangulaire assymétrioue dont chaque coté présente une pente dont 1 'angle limite l'un des débattements 10;ll;12;13 . La fig.13 comporte une tige qui s'engage dans une cloche assymétrique dont l'angulatlon des paroles contrôle les mêmes débattements. Bien entendu il est possible d'inverser la position des pièces sus décrites dans les fig. 13 et 13 de telle sorte que tige ou pyramide soit solidaire de la semelle.Without exhausting all possible solutions, we can replace the sphere 3 and its base 4 by a Cardan joint, or even metal or rubber ball joints
Lesflg.l2 and 13 illustrate solutions where the oscillation is provided by a pivot point located at the top of a pyramid or a rod applying under a bell integral with the sole. Fig.12 shows a bell of symmetrical shape placed on an asymmetrical quadrangular pyramid, each side of which has a slope whose angle limits one of the deflections 10; ll; 12; 13. Fig.13 includes a rod which engages in an asymmetrical bell whose angulation of the words controls the same deflections. Of course it is possible to reverse the position of the parts described above in figs. 13 and 13 so that the rod or pyramid is integral with the sole.
La fig.l4 représente une solution nettement différente car la semelle est mûe par deux vérins à double effet.te vérin 20 contrôle les angulations 12 et 13 tandis que le vérin 21 contrôle les angulations 10 et 11. En utilisant une distribucorrecte d'un fluide habituel sur ces vérins on obtiendra des sollicitations à la fois contrôlées en puissance et en ampli tude des muscles, articulations et ligaments de la cheville. Fig.l4 represents a clearly different solution because the sole is moved by two double-acting cylinders. Your cylinder 20 controls the angles 12 and 13 while the cylinder 21 controls the angles 10 and 11. Using a correct fluid distribution usual on these cylinders we will obtain stresses both controlled in power and amplitude of the muscles, joints and ligaments of the ankle.
