Description

DESCRIPTION

Gymnastic apparatus

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a gymnastic apparatus, and more specifically to an apparatus of the type commonly known as wall towers, wall supports or wall boards for fixing elements intended to perform Pilates exercises and the like.

The object of the invention is to provide a gymnastic apparatus of the type referred to above but with simple structural characteristics and at the same time with high functional performance and also with a minimum volumetric occupation in an inoperative situation.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Although many types of gymnastic apparatus are known for Pilates and other types of exercises based on a support fixed superimposed on a wall, and which have accessories such as springs, bars, rings, etc., to perform different types of exercises, However, in all cases the devices are complex, since a type of attachment or fixing element is needed for each accessory, and also, in the case of devices with simpler configurations, as is sometimes the case, the device sees its functional performance.

The international application PCT / US2012 / 063423, published under number WO2013067431, describes an "improved exercise table" that does not allow its use as a wall support nor does it contemplate the presence of elements of great importance in current gymnastic practices, such as drawbars or ballet bars, not anticipating supplementation with a push bar with the ability to adjust its position.

For its part, patent CH577327 describes an exercise apparatus with wall bars, which, as in the case of the previous document, does not contemplate the presence of traction bars or ballet bars, without anticipating the addition of a bar. push.

Finally, patent MC 909 A1 discloses a multi-combination fitness device, however this device does not have a location on the wall, nor does it allow the elements to be held at any height due to the corresponding holes provided for this purpose.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The invention discloses a gymnastic apparatus according to the appended claims.

The gymnastic apparatus that the invention proposes solves in a fully satisfactory way the problems set out above, so that being the type that incorporates a support fixed to the wall, it is characterized by being made up of two spaced apart profiles, fixed longitudinally in the direction vertical, mainly on a board, which have a guide or with a front guide and an internal lateral guide, so that in the internal lateral guide of each of the two profiles, sliding plates are mounted and fixed to it some elements coupling for springs, these plates being fixable and therefore the hooks by means of a wheel suitably screwed to the plate.

On the other hand, in the front guide of each one of the side profiles there are other plates movable in an upward and downward direction, between which respective bars are fixed to perform certain physical exercises, said plates and therefore the bars being also fixable. by means of wheels equally bolted as in the previous case.

The number of bars that the apparatus includes is specifically four, an upper one or "traction bar", another located at a lower point or "push bar", another bar for performing ballet exercises, and finally a bar. bottom, so that in all cases the bars are attached to respective pairs of plates that are movable up and down through the front guides, being fixed at any point or height by means of the manual actuation screws, occurring another both with the rings or supports for the springs.

The device is complemented with a table / mat that will rest on the lower bar to do the corresponding exercises, and in an inoperative situation it will be placed frontally in a vertical direction, covering all the internal accessories of the appliance, acting as a cover for the assembly.

In a variant of embodiment not claimed, the front guides are replaced by a sufficiently strong plate or sheet, affected by a series of vertically aligned holes, at different heights, intended to hold the springs, replacing the rings with fixed supports. to the front guide of the first embodiment.

These and other characteristics will be explained throughout the present description with the aid of the accompanying drawings.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

To complement the description that is going to be made below and with the aim of helping a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of a practical embodiment thereof, a set of drawings is attached as an integral part of said description. where, with an illustrative and non-limiting nature, the following has been represented:

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

As can be seen in the figures outlined, the apparatus of the invention is of the type that is constituted from a table (1), which is fixed on a wall, and in whose table (1) two side profiles are established (2), in a vertical arrangement, on either side of it, side profiles (2) that run from top to bottom of the table (1) and are in turn affected by two rails with guide functions, one front ( 3) and another inner side (4).

On these rails (3) and (4), respective plates (5) and (6) are mounted in a movable manner, in such a way that the sliding plates (5) along the front rails (3) constitute the means for the attachment of hooking elements (7) for springs, these hooking elements being constituted by rings or similar elements with a rigid element precisely joined to the corresponding plate (5).

In this way, the springs that can be used to perform certain physical exercises may be arranged at different heights, and with a greater or lesser number, distributed along the rail that constitutes the front guide (3) of each vertical profile (2).

In the same way, on the lateral and internal guides (4) of the profiles (2), plates (6) are mounted to secure the different traction exercise bars (8), a push bar (9), a bar of ballet (10) and a lower bar (11).

The plates (5) and (6) corresponding to the hooking elements ( 7) for the springs and for fixing the different bars (8, 9, 10 and 11) referred to, can be moved up and down, and fixed to any height by means of a manually operated clamping screw (12).

The apparatus thus described is complemented with a mat table (13) that in the operational situation of use will rest on the lower bar (11), constituting a closing lid that is arranged vertically, covering all the accessories in an inoperative situation.

In the non-claimed embodiment variant shown in figure 6, the characteristics of the apparatus are essentially the same, but varying the form of attachment of the corresponding springs, since in this case the front guide (3) is eliminated, and in its place a rigid and resistant plate or plate (14) with holes (15) at different heights, in which the springs will be hooked, maintaining the same characteristics of the inner side guide (4) with its fixing elements for the plates to which the different bars are in solidarity.

Although it is not represented, on the profiles (2) some markings or signs will be arranged to identify the level on each side, thereby facilitating that the bars are perfectly horizontal and the springs at the same level.

Finally, to say that the apparatus described allows to practice numerous types of physical exercises, being very versatile and compact, occupying a minimum space in an inoperative situation.
