Description

DESCRIPTION

Levitation system for sport and therapeutic rehabilitation.

Field of the Invention

In rehabilitation centers and stadiums or sports circuits.

State of the art

In rehabilitation, swimming pools are used to reduce the weight of the sick and facilitate their exercise and movement. This system is very limiting due to its location, cost, and as a consequence of the small number of these centers. All these inconveniences are solved with the present system, with which the weight of the individuals is reduced and their displacement is facilitated.

Object of the invention and advantages

Provide a simple, economical, practical, low maintenance system that saves energy and is therefore ecological and reduces pollution.

Use a levitator system using rotating permanent magnet wheels.

Use a levitator system using side pulley wheels on one or two tubular rails.

Use a levitator system with truncated conical wheels that rest inside a pair of rails with inclined internal walls.

To be able to use this system both indoors and outdoors.

Provide a valid system for sports and rehabilitation.

Description of the invention

The levitation system for sport and therapeutic rehabilitation, consists of an installation consisting of wheels or pulley wheels whose axes hang some forks and of these some harnesses that surround or hold the individuals by the armpits and / or by the crotches, levitating partially to the user: a) By a ferromagnetic element, iron, tube or cable, from whose lower area and perpendicularly one or more permanent wheels or pulleys of dangling wheels hang and rotate, b) By a rail of one or two pipes, cables or cables covered by a tube, connected horizontally and laterally from whose lateral area and perpendicularly hanging and rotating pairs of wheels pulleys oc) A pair of rails whose central area rotates some conical trunk wheels that rest on their inclined internal walls. With which you only need to transport the small remaining weight during your trip. Preferably the weight reduction may be between about 30% and 70%.

Mainly the ferromagnetic iron is placed on the ceiling of the rooms. Tubular rails in indoor and outdoor circuits. In the place of the plates you can use some bands on the ceiling that act as corridors.

Several magnetic wheels are used when a larger contact surface with the plates, tubes or cables is desired.

Both the wheels and the pulley wheels carry a plastic or rubber cover to soften the contact and avoid noise.

The cables may be covered by tubes to prevent deterioration.

The permanent magnets can be made of ferritic materials, but preferably those of rare earths of neodymium or samarium will be used, due to their great power and therefore small size and low weight.

The tubular rail system that uses both side pulley wheels does not need these to be magnetic wheels and can use two parallel and horizontal tubes.

A distance or height adjustment system can be used to suit the user's. This is also achieved in part by using elastic harnesses.

More detailed description of the drawings.

The invention, figure 1, consists of the support device (1), whose upper area or fork (3) supports the axles of the wheel or wheels (2) and the lower area consists of a harness or elastic bands (4) which surround to the individual by his armpits. The wheels rotate constantly attracting the iron (5) on the ceiling of the room. To facilitate its interpretation, one individual is facing and the other side.

Figure 2 shows a single-wheel system (2), its rubber or plastic cover (6) and the support fork (3).

Figure 3 shows a system of two truncated conical wheels (2c), which rotate and rest on the inside of a pair of rails (5c) of inclined interior walls. The wheels have a rubber or plastic cover and the support fork (3c) is threaded at its end. It is valid for indoor and outdoor circuits.

Figure 4 consists of the levitator device (1), whose upper area or fork (3) supports the axles of the wheel or pulley wheels (2a) and the lower area consists of a harness or elastic band (4) which surrounds the individual by its armpits, introducing one end through a groove or buckle on the fork (3). The wheels rotate attracting the tube or cable (5a).

Figure 5 consists of the harness (4), whose upper area or fork (3) supports the axles of the two pulley wheels (2a) and the lower area consists of elastic bands (4) which surround the individual by their armpits. The wheels rotate attracting the tube or cable (5a).

Figure 6 consists of the levitator device (1), whose upper area or fork (3) supports the axles of the pulley wheels (2a) and the lower area consists of a harness or elastic bands (4) which surround the individual by their armpits The wheels rotate attracting the long cable (5a) which is supported and held straight by the posts (7) the catenary (8) and the cables (9).

Figure 7 consists of the levitator device (1), whose upper area or fork (3) supports the axles of the pulley wheels (2b) and the lower area consists of a harness, straps or elastic bands (4) which surround the individual by your armpits The wheels rotate partially surrounding the rail of one or two horizontally and laterally attached tubes, cables or cables covered by large ducts (5a), which is supported and held straight by the posts (7) the catenary (8) and the cables or cords (9). Two parallel tubes connected horizontally and laterally are used, so that the pulley wheels are more subject to the sides of the rails. The pulley wheels can be coated with a layer of plastic or rubber and can be magnetic or non-magnetic. In the case of being magnetic, the rails must be made of ferromagnetic material.
