Abstract

Device for strengthening the muscles of a deep-sea angler, with a frame (1), a rod (5) rotatably mounted in the frame (1), a seat (2) and footrests (3), both adjustable with regard to the body size of the angler, characterized by a load unit (7 + 8) directly connecting rod (5) and frame (1).

Description

The invention relates to muscle training devices, in particular such for Deep-sea fishing. So-called fighting chairs are used for deep sea fishing used to support the angler in landing the fish. The Angler takes a seat on the fighting chair, sticks his fishing rod in a rotatably mounted sleeve on the fighting chair and casts the bait. After a bite the angler starts the fish with the fishing rod out of the water to leverage. Here the angler first pulls the rod against the resistance of the Fish up to his body and then moves it away from his body again, at the same time the fishing line winds up.

To pull a fish on deck the angler this sequence of movements often over repeat for a long time. This will be muscle areas of the angler that are less needed in everyday life. The consequences for the inexperienced Deep sea anglers are premature Fatigue as well Aching.

The angler should therefore have the opportunity given his muscles in advance of a fishing trip to train. Known fishing simulators such as Fry, U.S. Patent 4,637 603 are for this less suitable. Such devices have one complicated load device, which the fishing rod ultimately over a Strain the thread. As a result, the fishing is reproduced particularly realistically, but what for the physical toughening up the angler is not necessary.

The object of the invention is therefore a particularly simple and effective muscle training device for anglers. The device consists of a frame with a seat and footrests, both of which fit the size of the angler customized can be. About that beyond the device via an im Frame rotatably mounted rod, which the inserted fishing rod represents. A load unit connects rod and Frame. Suitable load units are conceivable in a variety of ways. A particularly simple and effective load unit is created but from the combination of a spring with a biasing device. You can Spring and preload device both linear and rotary Act. A linear arrangement can, for example, with the help of a Tension spring and a turnbuckle are realized that one end connect the rod to the frame. A rotating one Load device is created by a torsion spring and a Correspondingly rotating prestressing device between the rod and rack is arranged. In both cases it gets on the pole effective force that the angler overcome for training must, in simply by increasing the preload increased. In the case of a linear arrangement with a turnbuckle just the turnbuckle dressed. As an alternative to the turnbuckle, an electronic can also be used controllable linear actuator can be used. This would go further allow various training programs in one electronic Control.

The invention is illustrated by an example Structure with a linear acting load device clarified. Show it:

1 : Side view of the training device;

2 : Top view of the training device;

1 shows the side view of the training device. This consists of a frame 1 with a horizontally and vertically adjustable seat 2 is appropriate. Footrests are also attached to the frame 3 , which are adjustable in the direction of the leg axis of the training angler. These adjustment devices correspond to those of conventional fitness equipment and are not the subject of the present invention, which is why they are not described in more detail here. The frame has a storage point 4 in which the rod 5 is rotatably mounted. The bearing point of the rod does not match the center point of the longitudinal axis of the rod 5 match. This will make the rod 5 divided into a longer and a shorter piece. At the shorter end of the bar 5 is an eyelet 6 attached in the tension spring 7 is attached. The mainspring 7 is in turn in a turnbuckle 8th hooked, which finally with the frame 1 connected is.

The angler takes a seat on the training device and pulls the longer end of the rod 5 on his body. As a result, he has the resistance of the biased tension spring 7 overcome, whereby he achieves a training effect for his muscles. The angler pulls the turnbuckle to increase training resistance 8th further on.

In a comfort-enhancing development of the training device, the turnbuckle 8th replaced by a commercially available, electronically controllable linear actuator. The angler therefore does not need to use his own muscle power to pre-tension the tension spring 7 to vary. In addition, the training device can be provided with a small computer in which training programs are stored. Such a small computer would be able to carry the load on the pole 5 to control over time and possibly also depending on the angler's pulse rate or other variables. Such small computers are widely used on known fitness equipment and therefore do not have to be explained in more detail in their structure.
