Description

La présente invention est relative aux appareils parfois dits "exerciseurs" pour l'exécution par l'utilisateur d'exercices physiques musculaires.The present invention relates to devices sometimes called "exercisers" for the execution by the user of muscular physical exercises.

Il existe de nombreux types d'appareils d'exercice pour développer, renforcer ou rééduquer les muscles et articulations du corps humain. Ils sont en général conçus pour un seul type d'exercice ou pour l'entrainement à un sport déterminé et/ou constituent des ensembles très compliqués, lourds, volumineux et très onéreux, ce qui les destine à l'équipement collectif de salles de gymnastique ou de kinésithérapie.There are many types of exercise equipment to develop, strengthen or re-educate the muscles and joints of the human body. They are generally designed for a single type of exercise or for training in a specific sport and / or constitute very complicated, heavy, bulky and very expensive sets, which make them suitable for collective equipment of gymnasiums or physiotherapy.

Des appareils individuels moins encombrants et portables existent aussi. Il s'agit entre autres d'extenseurs à bandes ou cordes élastiques ou ressorts qu'il s'agit d'étirer. Ces appareils ne permettent que des exercices très limités dans lesquels ils sont mis en extension dans une seule direction. Leurs possibilités restreintes les conduisent souvent à l'abandon par leur utilisateur, l'ennui naissant très vite de la monotonie après une courte période d'intérêt, ce d'autant plus que leur encombrement et leur poids ne sont pas négligeables et qu'on peut ainsi renoncer à les transporter avec soi par exemple en voyage.Less bulky and portable individual devices also exist. These include stretchers with elastic bands or cords or springs that need to be stretched. These devices only allow very limited exercises in which they are extended in one direction. Their limited possibilities often lead them to be abandoned by their user, boredom very quickly emerging from monotony after a short period of interest, all the more since their size and weight are not negligible and that can thus renounce to carry them with you for example when traveling.

L'invention vise à proposer un appareil ne présentant pas ces inconvénients, c'est-à-dire extrêmement léger, très peu encombrant, tout en offrant dans ses versions les plus courantes une très grande variété d'exercices physiques pouvant intéresser la quasi totalité des parties du corps.The invention aims to provide a device not having these drawbacks, that is to say extremely light, very compact, while offering in its most common versions a very wide variety of physical exercises that can interest almost all body parts.

Les caractéristiques de l'invention et d'autres avantages apparaitront à la lumière de la description qui suit et pour l'intelligence de laquelle on se référera au dessin dont la figure unique montre un exemple préférentiel de réalisation d'un appareil selon l'invention.The characteristics of the invention and other advantages will become apparent in the light of the description which follows and for the understanding of which reference will be made to the drawing, the single figure of which shows a preferred embodiment of an apparatus according to the invention .

Un appareil selon l'invention peut être conçu pour des exercices très spécialisés, par exemple en vue du travail, notamment dans un but thérapeuthique, d'une seule partie du corps. Sa forme et les organes permettant sa mise en oeuvre pourraient donc être spécifiques aux applications recherchées.A device according to the invention can be designed for very specialized exercises, for example for work, in particular for therapeutic purposes, of a single part of the body. Its shape and the organs allowing its implementation could therefore be specific to the desired applications.

L'appareil décrit dans ce qui suit est un exemple particu­lier en vue de la plus large utilisation pour des exercices très variés pouvant intéresser une ou plusieurs parties principales du corps. Cet exemple n'est choisi qu'à titre purement illustratif, notamment du fait de sa très grande simplicité.The apparatus described in the following is a particular example for the widest use for a wide variety of exercises which may interest one or more main parts of the body. This example is chosen for illustrative purposes only, in particular because of its great simplicity.

L'appareil représenté à la figure unique se compose essentiel­lement d'une pièce 1 de forme générale rectangulaire d'un tissu présentant une élasticité omni directionnelle. A chacun de ses sommets, la pièce 1 est munie d'organes 2 de préhension ou d'assujettissement en vue de la manipulation par l'utilisateur au moyen de ses mains, de ses pieds, ou d'organes extérieurs rigides.The device shown in the single figure essentially consists of a part 1 of generally rectangular shape of a fabric having an omni-directional elasticity. At each of its vertices, the part 1 is provided with gripping or securing members 2 for handling by the user by means of his hands, his feet, or rigid external members.

Le tissu utilisé peut être à maille ou à chaîne et trame. Le tissu à maille peut être à maille circulaire ou rectiligne ou de type connu par le spécialiste en textiles sous la dénomination de "raschel" ou "weftlock". Le tissu à chaîne et trame peut être du type gaze ou non-gaze.The fabric used can be mesh or warp and weft. The mesh fabric may be circular or straight mesh or of a type known to the textile specialist under the name of "raschel" or "weftlock". The warp and weft fabric can be of the gauze or non-gauze type.

Les propriétés d'élasticité du tissu sont obtenues lors de sa fabrication par l'incorporation d'au moins une certaine proportion, pouvant atteindre 100 %, de fils élastiques, naturels ou synthétiques, dans la maille ou dans la chaine et la trame, ce qui permet une élasticité de la pièce 1 tant dans le sens longitudinal que dans le sens transversal, donc par composition des déformations, selon toute direction oblique également.The elasticity properties of the fabric are obtained during its manufacture by incorporating at least a certain proportion, up to 100%, of elastic threads, natural or synthetic, in the mesh or in the warp and weft, this which allows an elasticity of the part 1 both in the longitudinal direction and in the transverse direction, therefore by composition of the deformations, in any oblique direction also.

Le fil élastique utilisé pourra avantageusement être en élas­tomère, sous forme de caoutchouc, par exemple, ou constitué du matériau connu par le spécialiste sous la dénomination"élasthanne"(ou "spandex" dans cer­tains pays).The elastic thread used may advantageously be made of elastomer, in the form of rubber, for example, or made of material known by the specialist under the name "elastane" (or "spandex" in certain countries).

La teneur en fil élastique sera de préférence choisie de manière à permettre un allongement maximal longitudinal et transversal d'au moins 100 %, mais pouvant atteindre de préférence 250 %, ou même 400 %.The content of elastic thread will preferably be chosen so as to allow maximum longitudinal and transverse elongation of at least 100%, but which may preferably reach 250%, or even 400%.

A titre d'exemple, pour les utilisations évoquées plus loin , la pièce 1 pourra avoir au repos environ 40 à 80 cm de largeur pour 40 à 100 cm de longueur, et, dans son état en extension, environ 200 cm de largeur et 250 cm de longueur. Les dimensions minimales au repos correspondent approximativement à un tissu à 100 % à de fils élastiques, alors que les dimensions maximales au repos correspondent à un tissu formé d'une certaine proportion de fils élastiques et pour le reste, de fils peu élastiques, par exemple en nylon, coton ou autres matériaux.For example, for the uses mentioned below, the part 1 may have at rest about 40 to 80 cm in width for 40 to 100 cm in length, and, in its extended state, about 200 cm in width and 250 cm in length. The minimum dimensions at rest correspond approximately to a 100% fabric with elastic threads, while the maximum dimensions at rest correspond to a fabric formed of a certain proportion of elastic threads and for the remainder, for example elastic threads nylon, cotton or other materials.

Pour un tissu de texture telle que celle qui vient d'être évoquée, ayant selon les normes de mesure habituelles dans le domaine textile (bande de 5 cm de largeur), une résistance à la rupture à l'allon­gement dans les deux sens de 50 N au minimum,on constate que la gamme des efforts nécessaires pour passer de l'état de repos à l'état d'extension maximale couvre largement la gamme des efforts mis en jeu dans les appareils d'exercice courants où l'on étire des ressorts, des bandes à élasticité monodirectionnelle, à force réglable ou non, ou les appareils où l'on soulève des poids. La pièce 1 de tissu décrite ci-dessus peut donc se substituer comme source de résistance antagoniste aux efforts déployés par l'utilisateur.For a fabric of texture such as that which has just been mentioned, having, according to the usual measurement standards in the textile field (strip of 5 cm in width), a tensile strength in elongation in both directions of 50 N minimum, we see that the range of forces required to go from the rest state to the maximum extension state largely covers the range of forces involved in current exercise machines where we stretch springs, bands with one-way elasticity, with adjustable force or not, or the devices where we lift weights. The piece 1 of fabric described above can therefore be substituted as a source of antagonistic resistance to the efforts made by the user.

Pour éviter l'effilochage ou des amorces de déchirure, les bords 3 de la pièce 1 seront finis par surjet ou soudure selon le choix et selon la composition du matériau.To avoid fraying or tearing, the edges 3 of the piece 1 will be finished by overlock or welding according to the choice and according to the composition of the material.

Les organes de préhension 2 et d'assujettissement disposés à chaque sommet de la pièce 1 sont destinés à servir de poignées ou brides pour les mains de l'utilisateur, ou d'étriers pour ses pieds, ou encore à coopérer avec des accessoires rigides, tels par exemple qu'une barre enfilée dans deux de ces organes 2. Ils peuvent permettre également l'ancrage par un ou deux sommets à une structure fixe, pourvue par exemple de crochets.The gripping and securing members 2 arranged at each top of the part 1 are intended to serve as handles or straps for the user's hands, or stirrups for their feet, or even to cooperate with rigid accessories, such as for example a bar threaded into two of these members 2. They can also allow anchoring by one or two vertices to a fixed structure, for example provided with hooks.

Comme représenté à la figure 1, ces organes de préhension 2 peuvent revêtir la forme de simples bandes ou rubans en textile naturel ou synthétique refermés sur eux-mêmes pour former une boucle, et assujettis aux sommets correspondants par couture, soudage ou rivetage. Ils peuvent également avoir la forme d'anneaux rigides, en bois, métal ou matériau plastique. En vue de certaines applications particulières, ils peuvent aussi se présenter sous la forme de poches, éventuellement sous l'aspect de moufles ou gants pour les mains, ou de chaussettes pour les pieds, venus du même tissu que la pièce 1 lors de sa fabrication, ou rapportés ultérieurement sur celle-ci. D'autres solutions sont également envisageables, sans sortir du cadre de l'invention, tel est par exemple le cas de trous à bords renforcés par surjet ou soudage ménagés à chaque coin de la pièce 1.As shown in Figure 1, these gripping members 2 can take the form of simple strips or ribbons of natural or synthetic textile closed on themselves to form a loop, and subject to the corresponding vertices by sewing, welding or riveting. They can also be in the form of rigid rings, made of wood, metal or plastic material. For certain specific applications, they can also be in the form of pockets, possibly in the form of mittens or gloves for the hands, or socks for the feet, coming from the same fabric as the piece 1 during its manufacture. , or reported on later. Other solutions can also be envisaged, without departing from the scope of the invention, such is for example the case of holes with edges reinforced by overlock or welding provided at each corner of the part 1.

De ce qui précède, on voit aisément que l'appareil se prête à une multiplicité d'exercices en utilisant les mains seules, les mains et les pieds,avec ou sans accessoire intermédiaire tel qu'une barre, sur le devant ou sur le derrière du corps, éventuellement par-dessus la tête, qui peut aussi bien travailler que les membres ou le tronc. Il est possible d'utiliser l'appareil déployé en une seule nappe ou pour certains exercices, replié en deux sur lui-même, les organes 2 étant alors associés deux à deux, et la résistance opposée doublée.From the above, it is easy to see that the device lends itself to a multiplicity of exercises using the hands alone, the hands and the feet, with or without an intermediate accessory such as a bar, on the front or on the back of the body, possibly over the head, which can work just as well as the limbs or the trunk. It is possible to use the device deployed in a single layer or for certain exercises, folded in two on itself, the members 2 then being associated in pairs, and the opposite resistance doubled.

On peut ainsi travailler debout, assis sur le sol ou un siège, couché sur le dos ou le ventre.You can work standing, sitting on the floor or a seat, lying on your back or stomach.

L'appareil permet, outre la musculation des différentes parties su corps, la simulation sous effort de mouvements spécifiques à certains sports, tels par exemple que l'haltérophilie, l'aviron, ou le cyclisme.The apparatus allows, in addition to the musculation of the different parts of the body, the simulation under effort of movements specific to certain sports, such as for example weightlifting, rowing, or cycling.

Comme on le voit, l'appareil décrit est extrêmement bon marché du fait de sa simplicité, il est léger, peu encombrant, facilement trans­portable plié dans un sac ou même dans une poche, il est d'une sécurité quasi-totale, aucune partie n'étant susceptible de blesser l'utilisateur, il est quasiment universel car pouvant se substituer dans ses effets à presque tous les appareils d'exercice existants. Il peut en outre être personnalisé par ses coloris, décorations imprimées, et peut même servir de support publicitaire.As can be seen, the apparatus described is extremely inexpensive because of its simplicity, it is light, compact, easily transportable folded in a bag or even in a pocket, it is of an almost total safety, no part being likely to injure the user, it is almost universal because it can be substituted in its effects for almost all existing exercise equipment. It can also be personalized by its colors, printed decorations, and can even serve as an advertising medium.

Ce qui vient d'être exposé concerne un appareil conforme à l'invention selon son mode de réalisation le plus simple et sans doute le plus courant à l'usage.What has just been described relates to an apparatus according to the invention according to its simplest embodiment and undoubtedly the most common in use.

Le cas échéant, d'autres formes peuvent être prévues pour des applications particulières, par exemple une forme triangulaire.If necessary, other shapes can be provided for particular applications, for example a triangular shape.

On peut aussi avoir des formes beaucoup plus petites et éventuellement, plus complexes. Ainsi, pour des exercices de rééducation des doigts de la main, on peut prévoir une pièce 1 d'environ 5 cm sur 5 cm pourvue de cinq anneaux ou de cinq doigts de gants pour les doigts de la main.We can also have much smaller and possibly more complex shapes. Thus, for rehabilitation exercises of the fingers of the hand, one can provide a piece 1 of about 5 cm by 5 cm provided with five rings or five gloves fingers for the fingers of the hand.

Selon le même principe, d'autres appareils pour certaines utilisations spécifiques peuvent être conçus dans le cadre d'une pièce de tissu à élasticité omnidirectionnelle pourvue de moyens de préhension ou d'assujettissement.According to the same principle, other devices for certain specific uses can be designed as part of a piece of fabric with omnidirectional elasticity provided with gripping or securing means.
