Description

The present invention relates to a fitness device that enables a large number of individual and full-body fitness exercises, primarily for use at home, but also in fitness centers.

In the fitness equipment manufacturing industry, there is an increasing tendency towards specialization, towards more and more specific fitness equipment that is designed and built for only a few or even just a single fitness exercise. This may impress a customer of a fitness center if the fitness center offers a variety of different individual fitness equipment and allows for or even professionally put together a fitness program that provides a real course from one fitness equipment to the next, more or less through the entire fitness equipment Inventory of the fitness center.

However, from an overall or economic point of view, such a specialization tendency can run counter to the idea of sustainability. The fitness machines are becoming more and more specific and are usually massive and heavy iron constructions, which are expensive and are therefore increasingly moving away from being usable for home use on the one hand, but on the other hand from a trend that has become more and more fashionable and coming towards more ecological and sustainable live and to increasingly use only the weight of one's own body for fitness exercises and less auxiliary equipment or helping fitness equipment.

In terms of hygiene - not least in times of pandemics and closed fitness centers - it is disadvantageous to have special fitness equipment that is unsuitable for home use, which is usually used by several customers in succession in fitness centers, again usually without cleaning or even disinfection would be mandatory in the breaks in use between the individual customers.

As already mentioned, more complex fitness equipment is usually heavy iron constructions, the mechanics of which also have to be maintained. Again from a sustainability perspective, it would be desirable for fitness equipment to be made from materials that are more sustainable than iron or plastic.

Simpler fitness equipment, which in turn would be suitable for home use, is usually smaller equipment that takes up less space, but is then only suitable for one or a few fitness exercises. Training with them can quickly become one-sided and simply boring.

The object of the present invention is to provide a universal fitness device that satisfies the above criteria in an improved manner. If possible, the disadvantages of known fitness equipment should be completely or largely eliminated.

The solution to the problem consists first of all in the conception and construction of a universal fitness device, which essentially comprises at least two front legs and at least two rear legs, each of which is connected to one another in an upper end region with connecting joints and with at least one connecting or horizontal bar . Furthermore, a minimum variant according to the invention of a universal fitness device according to the invention comprises at least two fixing brackets, which each connect a front and a rear leg to one another and thus result in a fixed operating position of the universal fitness device in at least one predetermined angle of separation between the front and the rear legs.

Furthermore, according to an improved and preferred embodiment variant, a fitness device according to the invention can comprise a reinforcement board that fixing at least two rear legs and connecting the structure to one another in a reinforcing manner, preferably arranged in a lower end region of these rear legs. This reinforcement board can also serve as a step board and can only be shaped as a simple board, but also have an upper side that is almost horizontally aligned and can also optionally be shaped so wide that there is space for a foot length in width and at all a user can also stand on it comfortably.

Furthermore, optionally and in principle, a connection that reinforces the overall structure can also be provided on the front legs, for example in the form of a board or a strip or a bracket, but in a preferred embodiment variant a row of bores or receptacles on the at least two front legs are parallel arranged. According to the invention, additional rods can also be used in two of these bores or receptacles, preferably at the same height. These can be solid or hollow and can be made of metal or wood, for example. Furthermore, they can have a round cross-section, but also a triangular, quadrangular or hexagonal one. A rotating or non-rotating additional rod can be used as desired with correspondingly form-fittingly shaped receptacles.

The mere fact that one or more additional rods are loosely inserted into the parallel bores or receptacles results in additional stabilization to the reinforcement board, but it can also optionally be provided to fix the additional rod axially on the front legs, for example by means of adjusting rings, nuts or star rings or just with spring locks, e.g. called grippers, with which the weights of a barbell are usually fixed axially on the barbell rod.

Furthermore, it is preferred that the connecting or stretching rod arranged in the upper end area also be used to be arranged as just described for the additional rod, so that on the one hand it is fixed axially, but on the other hand it can rotate about its longitudinal axis or not, as required.

A preferred embodiment variant of a universal fitness device according to the invention preferably provides for the first front leg to be connected together with the first rear leg and with the connecting or horizontal bar in a first connecting joint, and the second front leg with the second rear leg and with the connection - or horizontal bar in a second connecting joint. These two connecting joints thus form a double joint. For this purpose, fitting bores are preferably provided in the upper end area of the front and rear legs, through which the connecting or stretching rod is guided, and on the other hand and preferably adjusting rings, which can also preferably be fixed with grub screws.

A further preferred embodiment of a universal fitness device according to the invention also provides a safeguard. This comprises, for example, at least one radial bore in the connecting or stretching rod and correspondingly arranged bores in the surrounding material of the upper end region of at least one front or rear leg. A cotter pin or a bolt or locking pin can preferably be used in all of these bores, the latter also preferably having a knob arranged at one end for better operability, but also so that it cannot fall through the bores.

Furthermore, the same types of fuses described can also be provided for the auxiliary rods. For this purpose, the radial bores described are also provided in the additional rods, and the corresponding radial bores in the surrounding material around the bores arranged in parallel in the front legs or Recordings. Depending on where the additional rod is used, the locking pin can then be inserted through the radial bores and removed again. In any case, the safeguards described ensure that the connecting or stretching rod and the additional rods can be operated rotating about their longitudinal axis or blocked against rotation as desired and required.

A further preferred embodiment variant of a universal fitness device according to the invention provides in the front legs not only for the parallel bores or receptacles for the additional poles that can be placed as desired, but also for holders or recesses in the material of the front legs, preferably repeated in the same order and also arranged in parallel thighs in front. A barbell, for example, can be hung or placed more or less at any height in these holders—each considered in pairs at the same height.

As already mentioned, even in its minimal version, a universal fitness device according to the invention comprises at least two fixing brackets, each of which connects the front legs to the rear legs, preferably arranged in their lower end area. The length of these fixing brackets and their attachment specifies a certain angle of spread between the front and rear legs, as well as a certain, specified operating position of the universal fitness device. However, according to a further embodiment of a universal fitness device according to the invention, it is also possible to provide different angles of spread and different operating positions. For this purpose, the fixing brackets are arranged at one of their ends on one of the front or rear legs by means of a swivel joint. The respective opposite ends of the fixing brackets can optionally be fastened at fastening points of different heights, for example and preferably by means of a hand screw in threaded bushings which are embedded or inserted into the material of the leg.

With regard to the material of the thighs and the entire universal fitness device, preference is given to sustainable materials with a better ecological balance. This can be, for example and preferably, wood, preferably laminated wood and more preferably kettle impregnated. Furthermore, a treatment or impregnation of the wood with zinc or copper sulphate or nanosilver or other substances and solutions that kill bacteria, germs and viruses can be considered. There are also paints and other coatings that are particularly easy to clean or disinfect, or so-called lotus flower paints to which almost nothing sticks.

According to a further preferred embodiment variant, a universal fitness device according to the invention can be folded up from the operating position into a space-saving folding or transport and storage position. For this purpose, the fixing brackets are rotatable with the rotary joints described and arranged detachably with the hand screws also described. When the hand screw is loosened, the fixing brackets can be swiveled out of one or rather their respective assembly position in the swivel joint so far that they can no longer be fastened to the opposite leg, but to the same one on which they are arranged by means of the swivel joint, in a stand-by or waiting position are. This is preferably done in a threaded bushing and preferably approximately in line with the longitudinal extension of the leg. If both fixing brackets are now loosened and "taken care of", then one or more safety pins that may have been used on the connecting joints can be removed and the front and rear legs can be folded together. In other words, with a universal fitness device lying flat on the floor, for example on the rear legs, the spread angle of the front legs, which then project obliquely upwards, can be brought to zero by also lying flat on the floor.

To make this "exercise" easier, if you will, rollers can optionally and furthermore be arranged according to the invention on the backs of the rear thighs, for example in their lower end area below the reinforcement board or step boards, via which the universal fitness device can be tilted and rolled away can be.

Feet, which are preferably exchangeable, can also be provided in the lower end area of the rear legs, but also of the front legs. So felt pads come into consideration, but also rubber feet or caps that can dress the profile of the leg in its entire lower area.

As already mentioned, the reinforcement board arranged on the rear legs approximately in the lower end area fulfills the function of reinforcing the structure, but also the function of a step board. Another function according to the invention is to use it for rowing training. For this purpose, attachments can be arranged on it or at least one hole through which, for example, a rubber band or a so-called Thera-Band can be passed.

Both stepping and rowing would expose the universal fitness device to lateral forces that could cause it to slide back and forth. For this purpose, it is also provided according to the invention to provide flattened areas on the front end faces of the front legs in their lower end area, with which the front legs or the universal fitness device can be supported on a wall. Furthermore, the flattened area can have a recess which cuts out a wall baseboard in such a way that the flattened area is actually supported on the wall and not on the wall baseboard. Furthermore, a wall attachment, e.g. in the form of a hook-shaped profile, can be provided as an accessory, into which the universal fitness device can be hung with a form-fitting counter-profile.

Regarding other accessories, a special complete universal fitness device according to the invention include positive recordings or splints for receiving a bench, especially for bench press. Furthermore, form-fitting receptacles or rails for a small bench or rather seat board can be arranged on rollers, which would mean that rowing training would no longer be limited to the torso and arms, but would also involve the legs.

According to a further embodiment variant, a universal fitness device according to the invention can have a connecting or horizontal bar which, as described, is rotatably mounted in the at least two connecting joints, but not only by means of the fitting bores described, but also with low-friction mechanical pivot bearings such as ball or roller bearings. In this way, a good swing can also be achieved or fitness exercises with rocking movements. Nevertheless, a mechanical anti-rotation device can also be provided in this case to block the possibility of rotation, as described with a cotter pin or safety pin, but also with a mechanical ratchet that can be secured and unlocked and, incidentally, can also provide latching positions that correspond to the operating positions correspond to the length and the mounting positions of the fixing brackets.

The connecting or stretching bar can also include one or more pulleys for various fitness exercises with weights on a cable pull.

Ultimately, in favor of the possibility of being able to store a universal fitness device according to the invention in a space-saving manner despite its advantageously considerable size, in a last embodiment variant the described recesses or holders for the barbell are not only arranged in the front legs, but slightly larger ones at the same height Recesses also in the rear thighs. As a result, a barbell in the universal fitness device can also be used in the be left in the collapsed folding or transport position. There is no need to find a separate, additional storage space for the barbell.

the 1 shows a symbolic, exemplary and perspective overall view of a first embodiment variant of a universal fitness device 100 according to the invention. A front pair of legs vSp is formed from a left front leg 1a and a right front leg 1b, and a rear pair of legs hSp from a left rear leg 2a and a right rear leg 2b. The front pair of legs vSp and the rear pair of legs hSp are connected by means of a double joint 200 in that a connecting or stretching rod 4 is passed through fitting bores 27a and 27b, which are only indicated, in an upper end region oEb of the legs 2a and 1a as well as 1b and 2b and so on first, left connecting joint 3a and a second, right connecting joint 3b are formed. The upper ends of the Legs 2a and 1a as well as 1b and 2b are held together by adjusting rings 5a-5d arranged on the connecting or stretching rod 4, with only the adjusting rings 5a and 5c being visible in this perspective view.

In the front pair of legs vSp, holders or recesses 6a-6l are arranged at regular intervals, for example for a barbell 300, which is hung with a barbell rod 24, for example, in the holders or recesses 6e and 6f. The barbell 300 also has weights or pairs of weights 25a and 25b which are each fixed with a star ring 26 .

Also at regular intervals, but offset to the holders or recesses 6a-6l, bores or receptacles 7a-7n are arranged in the front legs 1a and 1b, which form the front pair of legs vSp. Additional rods 8, for example, can be inserted at any height into these bores or receptacles 7a-7n, as shown by way of example in the bores or receptacles 7i and 7j.

Similar to a trestle or a stepladder, the front leg 1a and the rear leg 2a as well as the front leg 1b and the rear leg 2b are each stabilized with a fixing bracket 9a and 9b or fixed against further spreading. A predefined length of the fixing brackets 9a and 9b and their fixed arrangement, as shown, preferably in a lower end region uEb in a respective assembly position Mp, results in a predefined operating position Bp of the universal fitness device 100, with a likewise predefined spread angle Sw between the front legs 1a or 1b and the rear legs 2a, respectively. 2 B.

Furthermore, in this 1 It can still be seen that a reinforcement board or step board 10 is arranged on the back of the rear legs 2a and 2b. As already mentioned, it can also be boxy and a more extensive one Have top 28, which can optionally be aligned approximately horizontally.

In the illustrated first embodiment variant of a universal fitness device 100 according to the invention, the two front legs 1a and 1b and the two rear legs 2a and 2b are arranged at the top in the connecting joints 3a and 3b in such a way that the rear legs 2a and 2b are on the outside and the front legs 1a and 1b inside. This arrangement can also be reversed or mixed, but it is considered an advantage if the somewhat heavier rear legs 2a and 2b are arranged as far outboard as possible and in this way give the universal fitness device 100 a little more stability.

In the 2 is the first embodiment variant of a universal fitness device 100 according to the invention from FIG 1 shown from a straight and rear view. The elements shown are all already known, except for the adjusting rings 5b and 5d, which can now also be seen.

the 3 shows a second embodiment variant of a universal fitness device 100a according to the invention in a detailed illustration, which only shows an upper end region oEb ₁ of a first front leg 1c and a first rear leg 2c as well as a second front leg 1d and a second rear leg 2d. The two first legs 1c and 2c are again arranged in a first connecting joint 3c by means of a connecting or stretching rod 4a and the two second legs 1d and 2d accordingly in a second connecting joint 3d. The two connecting joints 3c and 3d in turn form a double joint 200a and the front legs 1c and 1d form a front pair of legs vSp ₁ and the rear legs 2c and 2d form a rear pair of legs hSp ₁ . The front legs 1c and 1d each form a spread angle Sw ₁ to the rear legs 2c and 2d, and this in turn results in an operating position Bp ₁ of the universal fitness device 100a.

Furthermore, it can be seen that the first connecting joint 3c and the second connecting joint 3d are formed in that the legs 1c, 2c and 1d, 2d are fixed to the connecting or horizontal bar 4a by means of adjusting rings 5e-5h. The adjusting rings 5e and 5g are only indicated here with curved arrows because they are covered in this view. On the other hand, one can clearly see on the adjusting ring 5h that it is in turn fixed to the connecting or stretching rod 4a by means of a grub screw 11 .

It can also be seen how the connecting joint 3d is constructed, namely the connecting or stretching rod 4a is inserted into a fitting hole 27c in the front leg 1d and at the same time in a fitting hole 27d in the rear leg 2d. In addition, a safety device 400 is implemented in this embodiment variant of a fitness device 100a according to the invention by drilling a radial bore 12 in the connecting or horizontal bar 4a and corresponding bores (not shown in detail) arranged radially to the fitting bore 27c in the upper end region oEb ₁ of the front Leg 1d a bolt, respectively. Locking pin 13 is used with a knob 14. The connecting or stretching rod 4a is secured in this way and can no longer rotate in a rotation R.

Furthermore, in this 3 still recognizable as bores resp. Recordings 7o and 7p are arranged as an example in the front legs 1c and 1d for receiving additional rods 8, as in the previous figures 1 and 2 were shown.

In the 4 a fourth embodiment variant of a fitness device 100b according to the invention is shown symbolically and based on a detailed drawing. This embodiment variant is characterized on the one hand by a fuse 400a, which this time to secure against radial rotation in a rotation R ₁ , but also against axial displacement of an additional rod 8a is provided, which in turn is used, for example, in a bore or receptacle 7q in a front leg 1e. The additional rod 8a has a radial bore 12a through which, but also through corresponding bores (not shown in detail) in the material of the front leg 1e, a bolt or securing pin 13a with a knob 14a is inserted.

Otherwise, the front leg 1e, as previously described, has holders 6m-6p and additional bores or receptacles 7r-7t for receiving the additional rod 8a in a different position or for receiving additional additional rods. Incidentally, hatching S symbolically represents that a preferred material for manufacturing the front leg 1e and the universal fitness device 100b in general is wood, again preferably laminated wood and furthermore preferably boiler-impregnated.

In addition, the front leg 1e also has a threaded bushing 17, so that a fixing bracket 9c, preferably rotatably arranged in a swivel joint 15 in a lower end region uEb ₁ , can be pivoted upwards such that a hand screw 16 can be screwed into the threaded bushing 17. In this way, the fixing bracket 9c can be pivoted from a mounting position Mp ₁ , in which it limits a spread angle Sw ₂ and an operating position Bp ₂ of the universal fitness device 100b, into a stand-by or waiting position Wp, in which the universal fitness device 100b is folded up overall is. This will be in the 9 to be shown.

the figure 5 shows a fourth embodiment variant of a universal fitness device 100c further according to the invention in a merely symbolic detailed drawing, which is characterized in that a rubber cap 18 is arranged in a lower end region uEb ₂ of a front leg 1f, for example.

Otherwise, known features are shown, such as a holder or recess 6q, a bore or receptacle 7u and a fixing bracket 9d, which, as in the previous embodiment variant, consists of FIG 4 is arranged pivotably in a rotary joint 15a. The position or alignment of the fixing bracket 9d shown corresponds to a mounting position Mp ₂ and this in turn specifies a spread angle Sw ₃ and an operating position Bp ₃ of the universal fitness device 100c.

In the 6 10 is shown only symbolically and schematically and in a detailed drawing a fifth embodiment variant of a fitness device 100d according to the invention, which is characterized by a variable fixation option for the spread of the legs. For this purpose, a first threaded bushing 17a, only indicated by an arrow, is arranged on a rear leg 2e, into which a hand screw 16a is screwed and thus fixes a fixing bracket 9e in the widest spread. Above the threaded bushing 17a, which is only indicated, there are also further threaded bushings 17b and 17c, which result in less wide spreads. The mounting of the fixing bracket 9e shown in a lower end region uEb ₃ in a mounting position Mp ₃ in the threaded bushing 17a in any case results in a spread angle Sw ₄ and an operating position Bp ₄ of the universal fitness device 100d. Mounting the fixing bracket 9e in the threaded bushing 17b or 17c would result in slightly different spread angles Sw ₄ and slightly different operating positions Bp ₄ of the universal fitness device 100d.

the 7 shows, again in a purely symbolic and exemplary detailed view from behind, a sixth embodiment variant of a universal fitness device 100e that is also according to the invention. Two rear legs 2f and 2g form a rear pair of legs hSp ₂ and this is fixed with fixing brackets 9f and 9g in a respective assembly position Mp ₄ on a front pair of legs vSp ₂ , which in turn is formed from front legs 1g and 1h. All this gives an operating position Bp ₅ of the universal fitness machine 100e in Spread angles Sw ₅ between the rear leg 2f and the front leg 1g and the rear leg 2g and the front leg 1h. A reinforcement board or step board 10b connects the two rear legs 2f and 2g in a lower end area uEb ₄ and optionally has a hole 19 arranged approximately in the middle, for example to be able to pass through or attach a rubber or so-called Thera-Band. An upper side 28a of the reinforcement board or step board 10b can again also be shaped approximately horizontally and broader.

Also optional, but useful, for example, for rowing or pulling exercises with the Thera-Band or for an improved support position of the universal fitness device 100e on a wall, for example for step exercises on or against the step board 10b flattened areas 21a and 21b are provided on the end faces of the front legs 1g and 1h, which are the rear legs in this view.

Rollers 20a and 20b are also optionally arranged in the lower end region uEb ₄ of the rear, now front, legs 2f and 2g. These serve the purpose of being able to tilt and roll away the universal fitness device 100e.

In the 8 1 shows, again only in an exemplary detailed drawing, a seventh embodiment variant of a universal fitness device 100f according to the invention, which is characterized in that felt gliders 22a and 22b are arranged in a lower end region uEb ₅ of a rear leg 2h.

Otherwise, a roller 20c is now clearly visible, namely "in operation", in that the universal fitness device 100f has been tipped onto its rear legs 2h and is, as it were, resting on them. For this purpose, the diameter of the roller 20c exceeds the final dimension of a reinforcement board, respectively. Step boards 10c preferably. One has to imagine that the front legs are still in a spread angle when the universal fitness device 100f is in the lying position indicated here Sw ₆ project upwards because a fixing bracket 9h is still screwed with a hand screw 16b in an assembly position Mp ₅ and has not yet pivoted into the waiting position on the opposite front leg. In other words, although the universal fitness machine 100f is in a prone position, it is still in an operating position Bp ₆ .

the 9 shows an eighth and final variant of a fitness device 100g according to the invention, which is shown folded up and lying down in a top view in a folded position Kp. Thus, not only front legs 1i and 1j but also rear legs 2i and 2j are in the same plane, as are fixing brackets 9i and 9j, which are now in respective waiting positions Wp ₁ and Wp ₂ . A spread angle Sw ₇ between the rear legs 2i or 2j and the front legs 1i or 1j is equal to zero.

In a lower end area uEb ₆ , flattened areas 21c and 21d can now be seen from the front on the front and inner legs 1i and 1j on their end faces. Also there and only indicated by curved arrows, rollers 20d and 20e are arranged on the rear legs 2i and 2j. An additional rod 8b is used in receptacles 7v and 7w, which are only indicated. Otherwise, the universal fitness device 100g has the previously known features and therefore these are only numbered consecutively in this without further description 9 shown.

A further inventive and optional difference to all previous design variants of a universal fitness device 100, 100a-100f according to the invention from the previous ones Figures 1-8 consists, however, in that in the rear legs 2i and 2j at the level of brackets 6r-6ü in the front legs 1i and 1j there are also recesses 23a-23l. These recesses 23a-23l make it possible to “supply” a barbell 300a even when the universal fitness device 100g is in the collapsed folded position Kp. to leave it in the universal fitness device 100g, for example in the holders 6t and 6u in which it is currently located. It would be impractical if the universal fitness device 100g could be folded up and thus stored in a space-saving manner, but the barbell 300a had to be removed from its holders 6t and 6u beforehand in order to be stored in a different, separate location.
