Description

APPAREIL DE MUSCULATION MUSCULATION TOOL
La présente invention concerne un appareil de musculation et/ou de rééducation consistant à tourner une manivelle avec une ou deux mains pour déplacer et entraîner un ensemble mécanique à couple ajustable du type vélo d'appartement et permettant, en fonction de la position du corps de l'opérateur, de tonifier tous les muscles en un seul geste.The present invention relates to a weight training device and / or rehabilitation consisting of turning a crank with one or two hands to move and drive a mechanical assembly with adjustable torque type exercise bike and allowing, depending on the position of the body of the operator, to tone all the muscles in one gesture.
II est bon de savoir qu'il existe déjà de nombreuses propositions d'appareils de musculation et/ou de rééducation consistant à tourner une manivelle. Des recherches à l'INPI (Institut National de la Propriété Industrielle) font valoir trois brevets tels que :It is good to know that there are already many proposals for weight machines and / or rehabilitation to turn a crank. Research at the INPI (National Institute of Industrial Property) asserts three patents such as:
- EP 1566204 du 24 août 2005, - US 4772015 du 20 septembre 1988,EP 1566204 of August 24, 2005, US 4772015 of September 20, 1988,
- US 4773398 du 27 septembre 1988.US 4773398 of 27 September 1988.
Ces trois brevets présentent des appareils aux fonctions à peut près semblables. C'est à dire celles où l'opérateur positionne ses pieds et/ou son corps pour faire travailler principalement les muscles supérieurs de son corps. Cependant, selon ces conditions, il n'y a pas de déplacement de pied pour la recherche, par exemple, d'un nouvel appui nécessitant l'action d'autres muscles.These three patents present devices with almost similar functions. That is to say those where the operator positions his feet and / or his body to work mainly the upper muscles of his body. However, under these conditions, there is no foot movement for research, for example, a new support requiring the action of other muscles.
Il existe d'autres appareils de musculation très efficaces tels que ; le rameur à tirage latéral ou central et le vélo elliptique, mais ils présentent quelques inconvénients. En effet, certains muscles sont insuffisamment sollicités en effort et en déplacement. Il en va de même pour les articulations, la cage thoracique et la colonne vertébrale.There are other very effective weight machines such as; the side or center puller and the elliptical trainer, but they have some disadvantages. Indeed, some muscles are insufficiently stressed in effort and movement. The same goes for the joints, the rib cage and the spine.
L'appareil selon l'invention permet de remédier à ces inconvénients. Il comporte en effet un axe de manivelle réglable à hauteur d'homme grâce à des moyens mécaniques montés sur un ensemble mécanique provenant d'un vélo d'appartement. Le bras de levier de la manivelle est télescopique, il est ajustable en longueur pour décrire des ronds de rayon plus ou moins grands. L'opérateur choisit, suivant le type de mouvement recherché, de positionner son corps face au mécanisme ou de le tourner sur le côté. Quand l'opérateur actionne la manivelle, l'axe de rotation se déplace de manière simultanée, obligeant l'opérateur à changer la position d'appui de ses pieds sur le sol ou sur une estrade à plan inclinable. Le changement d'appui peut être du à une position assise sur les talons, soit à une position en extension sur la pointe des pieds, soit à un déplacement du pied sur le sol pour une meilleure position d'équilibre.The apparatus of the invention overcomes these disadvantages. It has indeed an adjustable crank axis at the height of man through mechanical means mounted on a mechanical assembly from a bicycle. The lever arm of the crank is telescopic, it is adjustable in length to describe circles of radius larger or smaller. The operator chooses, according to the type of movement sought, to position his body facing the mechanism or turn it to the side. When the operator actuates the crank, the axis of rotation moves simultaneously, forcing the operator to change the support position of his feet on the ground or on a tilting platform. The change of support may be due to a sitting position on the heels, either to an extended position on the tips of the feet, or to a movement of the foot on the ground for a better balance position.
L'invention est décrite ci-après à l'aide de deux exemples et de références aux dessins joints, dans lesquels : - la figure 1 est une vue en plan d'une première version de l'appareil suivant un montage en portique,The invention is described below with the aid of two examples and references to the accompanying drawings, in which: FIG. 1 is a plan view of a first version of the apparatus according to a gantry assembly,
- la figure 2 est une vue en plan d'une deuxième version de l'appareil suivant une embase constituée par une mécanique de vélo d'appartement, - la figure 3 est une vue sur le côté de l'appareil deuxième version,FIG. 2 is a plan view of a second version of the apparatus according to a base consisting of an exercise bike mechanism; FIG. 3 is a view on the side of the second version apparatus;
- la figure 4 est une vue de détail de l'équipement vis/écrou.- Figure 4 is a detailed view of the equipment screw / nut.
L'appareil représenté par la figure 1, selon une première version, comporte un portique (15) dont les deux colonnes (Hi - 142) entretoisées sont montées sur des pieds fixés au sol (25) qui impose une inclinaison î des colonnes (14) sur le côté réglable de 0° à plus selon l'exercice physique recherché par l'opérateur. Suivant la rigidité recherchée de l'ensemble le portique est amarré au plafond par un système d'étayage (17). Sur les colonnes (14) une cage (13) coulisse. L'équipement de la cage comprend à sa partie basse l'ensemble mécanique (2) à couple ajustable (10) du type vélo d'appartement dont l'axe de sortie (23) est couplé à l'axe (3) de la manivelle (1) par un moyen mécanique (5') du type courroie/poulie ou roue dentée/chaîne ou engrenage. Le choix du sens de rotation de la manivelle est donné par un boîtier d'engrenage (21) commandé par un levier (20) à deux positions. De ce même boîtier d'engrenage (21) est issue une crémaillère (24) ou une corde attachée sur le portique (35). Dès que l'opérateur (7) tourne la manivelle, son axe entraîne des engrenages qui font monter ou descendre d'une valeur (Δh) l'ensemble de la cage (13) à une vitesse réglée par un levier de commande (16). Dans le cas de la corde, celle-ci s'enroule ou se déroule sur l'axe (3).The apparatus represented in FIG. 1, according to a first version, comprises a gantry (15) whose two braced columns (Hi-14 2 ) are mounted on feet fixed to the ground (25) which impose an inclination of the columns ( 14) on the adjustable side from 0 ° to plus depending on the physical exercise sought by the operator. According to the desired rigidity of the assembly the gantry is moored to the ceiling by a shoring system (17). On the columns (14) a cage (13) slides. The equipment of the cage comprises at its lower part the mechanical assembly (2) with adjustable torque (10) of the home bike type whose output axis (23) is coupled to the axis (3) of the crank (1) by mechanical means (5 ') of the belt / pulley or sprocket / chain or gear type. The choice of the direction of rotation of the crank is given by a gearbox (21) controlled by a lever (20) with two positions. From the same gear case (21) comes a rack (24) or a rope attached to the gantry (35). Once the operator (7) rotates the crank, its axis causes of gears that are up or down by a value (.DELTA.h) the whole of the cage (13) at a controlled rate by a control lever (16 ). In the case of the rope, it wraps or unrolls on the axis (3).
L'appareil représenté par les figures 2 et 3 selon une deuxième version comporte un ensemble mécanique (2) à couple ajustable (10) du type vélo d'appartement (4) fixé au sol (32) et, à la demande, fixé aussi au plafond par un système d'étayage (19). L'axe (3) de la manivelle (1) est lié à l'axe (23) de sortie de l'ensemble mécanique de base (2) grâce à un moyen mécanique (5) comprenant une hampe équipée d'un ensemble poulie/courroie ou roue dentée/chaîne (22). A la partie supérieure, comme dans la première version, un boîtier d'engrenage (21) commandé par un levier (20) permet de choisir le sens de la rotation de la manivelle. Dès que l'opérateur (7) actionne la manivelle celle-ci entraîne d'une part la rotation de l'axe (23) de l'ensemble mécanique (2) et d'autre part la rotation de l'axe (31) d'un boîtier (12) à vis sans fin amarré à une grande vis (11) articulée (29) sur la structure. L'action du boîtier a pour effet de faire varier l'inclinaison ((X) de la hampe du moyeu mécanique (5) et donc de déplacer aussi l'axe (3) de la manivelle (1) de A vers B pour une variation en hauteur de (Δh). Cette variation de position de l'axe (3) de A vers B ou de B vers A entraîne l'opérateur (7) à changer la position de ses pieds (26) sur le sol ou sur une estrade à plan inclinable (27) tout en tournant la manivelle. La figure 4 représente un système vis/écrou suivant un mode de réalisation. En effet il comprend un boîtier (12) à vis sans fin articulé sur un axe (31) sur lequel une chaîne (28) assure le couplage avec le boîtier d'engrenage (21). La roue dentée (33) du boîtier (12) transmet sa rotation à un écrou à bille (34) monté sur une grande vis à bille (11). Cette dernière est d'un côté articulée sur la structure par un axe (29) et de l'autre coulissante dans une glissière (30) construite en arc de cercle.The apparatus represented by FIGS. 2 and 3 according to a second version comprises a mechanical assembly (2) with an adjustable torque (10) of the type of exercise bike (4) fixed to the ground (32) and, on request, also fixed on the ceiling by a shoring system (19). The axis (3) of the crank (1) is connected to the axis (23) of the output of the basic mechanical assembly (2) through a mechanical means (5) comprising a shaft equipped with a pulley assembly / belt or sprocket / chain (22). At the top, as in the first version, a gearbox (21) controlled by a lever (20) allows to choose the direction of rotation of the crank. As soon as the operator (7) actuates the crank, the latter causes, on the one hand, the rotation of the axis (23) of the mechanical assembly (2) and, on the other hand, the rotation of the axis (31). a worm gear housing (12) moored to a large articulated screw (11) (29) on the structure. The action of the housing has the effect of varying the inclination ((X) of the shaft of the mechanical hub (5) and therefore of also move the axis (3) of the crank (1) from A to B for a variation in height of (Δh). This variation of the position of the axis (3) from A to B or from B to A causes the operator (7) to change the position of his feet (26) on the floor or on a tilting platform (27) while turning the crank. Figure 4 shows a screw / nut system according to one embodiment. Indeed it comprises a casing (12) worm hinged on an axis (31) on which a chain (28) provides the coupling with the gear housing (21). The toothed wheel (33) of the housing (12) transmits its rotation to a ball nut (34) mounted on a large ball screw (11). The latter is on one side articulated on the structure by an axis (29) and the other sliding in a slide (30) constructed in an arc.
Après avoir réglé la hauteur de l'axe (3) il est possible aussi de régler la longueur du bras de levier télescopique (6) de la manivelle pour les deux versions (Figures 1 et 2). La longueur du bras de levier (1) définit le rayon de cercle à balayer (Ri - R2) que l'on fige par une vis de blocage (8). D'autre part une poignée (9) tournante favorise la prise en main de l'opérateur (7). Ce dernier, dans le cas de manœuvre sur le côté peut disposer d'une manivelle en forme de vilebrequin à deux poignées tournantes.After adjusting the height of the shaft (3) it is also possible to adjust the length of the telescopic lever arm (6) of the crank for both versions (Figures 1 and 2). The length of the lever arm (1) defines the radius of circle to be scanned (Ri - R 2 ) which is fixed by a locking screw (8). On the other hand a rotating handle (9) promotes the grip of the operator (7). The latter, in the case of maneuvering on the side can have a crank-shaped crankshaft with two rotating handles.
Suivant un autre mode d'utilisation de l'appareil, concernant la deuxième version, les pieds de l'opérateur sont fixés par des attaches pour obtenir des positions ordonnées par l'instructeur suivant le type de travail du corps recherché. D'autre part l'appareil, selon les deux versions, peut être équipé d'un boîtier électronique (18) donnant les informations de dépenses physiques de l'opérateur tels que les calories, la durée ...According to another mode of use of the apparatus, concerning the second version, the feet of the operator are fixed by fasteners to obtain positions ordered by the instructor according to the type of work of the body sought. On the other hand the apparatus, according to the two versions, can be equipped with an electronic box (18) giving the information of physical expenses of the operator such as the calories, the duration ...
