Description

The invention relates to a trampoline with a jumping mat, which is held in a jumping mat carrier, wherein the trampoline is assigned a seat for the trampoline user, which seat is movably guided in the direction of the jump cloth, slidable, movable or the like.

Such trampolines are already known in various designs. The prior art trampolines have a hammock which is arranged in a jumping cloth carrier in an approximately horizontal plane. The jump-cloth carrier is held with the help of a trampoline stand at a distance above the ground, so that the jumping cloth can spring-elastic sufficiently dodge in the direction of the ground when jumping of the user. The user can train by jumping more or less rapidly on the jump cloth. However, because the sheet is resiliently held on the carrier and can not offer the user a firm footing, a trampoline is less suitable for the frail or elderly. Even more stable users often feel insecure on a trampoline because the required distance of the landing mat from the ground is a mistake and fear painful falls.

From the US 2004/0142800 A1 One already knows a trampoline with a standing frame, on which a jumping cloth carrier projects transversely to the standing frame, in which a jumping cloth is held. On the stand a seat for the trampoline user is provided, which seat is linearly guided in the direction of the jump cloth. The trampoline user can support the sliding movement of the seat in the direction away from the jumping cloth carrier direction of two handles, which are connected to the seat in each case via a rope, which ropes are deflected at the end face of the stand frame facing away from the jumping cloth carrier. From the figures in US 2004/0112800 A1 It becomes clear that the user on the previously known trampoline always rests with his feet on the hammock during the training in order to assume a comfortable sitting position. The lying on the seat user can repel by stretching the legs of the jump cloth, the resulting sliding movement is supported by the return movement of the jumping cloth and the user supported on the handles. The body movement of the user training on the previously known trampoline is thus essentially limited to repetitive knee flexions. Further training is less well possible with the previously known trampoline.

It has also already created a trampoline, which is associated with a device in which the user can be secured to elastic ropes (see. EP 1 312 394 A1 ). The device allows the user hanging on the elastic ropes to perform figures in the air during the jumping movements on the trampoline. The cooperating with this device trampoline facilitates training acrobatic exercises - for therapeutic exercises, however, this previously known trampoline is less well suited.

From the WO 2005/117663 A1 An exercise device for toddlers is already known, which has a specific for the admission of the infant seat belt, which is held in a frame. Below the seat belt, a jumping cloth is provided, on which the toddler can exercise, for example, running movements. For adult users and in particular for therapeutic exercises, the previously known exercise device, however, is not provided.

In the EP 1 637 099 A1 a training and therapy device is described above, which has a gallows-shaped support frame. While a seat for a patient is provided on a vertically oriented support arm of the support frame, above it there are leg supports on the horizontally oriented free end of the support frame in which the legs of the patient can be held. The end EP 1 637 099 A1 Previously known training and therapy device is provided for the mobilization of the patient and thus only for the passive exercise therapy of a patient.

There is therefore a particular object to provide a trampoline of the type mentioned above, which can be used safely and without risk even by less stable or inexperienced people and, for example, for training purposes, but especially for rehabilitation measures, can be applied.

The solution to this problem is in the trampoline of the type mentioned in that at least one leg rest is provided for supporting the legs of the user, which has at least one gallows on which at least one anklet is held.

At the movable seat of the trampoline invention, a leg rest is provided, which is movable with the seat and provided for supporting the legs of the user. This leg rest has at least one gallows, on which at least one anklet is held. As the legs can be held in a footstrap virtually weightless, it is possible that the user can always detach himself from the jumping cloth while exercising with his feet. This allows additional training and therapy options.

The trampoline according to the invention is associated with a seat which is movably guided in the direction of the jumping cloth. In this case, the seat is slidable in the direction of the jumping cloth, pivoting, movable or otherwise guided as movable. Since this seat always provides the user with a secure hold and since the seat is movably guided in the direction of the jumping mat, an on-seat user can exercise safely and comfortably on the trampoline. Since in the trampoline according to the invention, a harmful shock effect on emergence on the jump cloth is avoided, and since the user instead only experiences an energetic charge that can be used for the next jump training on the trampoline according to the invention is not significantly more intense compared to one conventionally on a hard floor standing trampoline. The alternation between repulsion and emergence on the elastic subsoil offers a variety of positive effects, such as an increase in leg strength, an improvement in motor skills and sense of balance, as well as stimulation of the metabolism, the digestive system, the lymphatic system and the heart. circulatory system. The training on the trampoline according to the invention spares the spine and joints of the training on the elastic and soft jumping mat and in the seat located user.

An embodiment according to the invention provides that the seat is designed as a seat swing, which is pivotable in the direction of the jumping cloth. Since the seat is designed as a seat swing and as this seat swing is pivotable in the direction of the jumping cloth, an untrained trampoline user is guided safely and safely during the jump movements.

It is advantageous if the seat designed as a seat swing can be pivoted about a pivot axis, which can be mounted on the ceiling and / or held in a frame. In sufficiently high exercise rooms designed as a seat swing seat can be mounted with its pivot axis on the ceiling. It is also possible that the pivot axis of the formed as a seat swing seat is held on a standing on the floor rack.

Another embodiment of the invention according to the invention provides that the seat is designed as a sliding or reclining seat, which is guided displaceably or movably in the direction of the jumping cloth.

In order to favor the desired effects of the trampoline invention and to optimize the energetic charge of training on the trampoline user invention, it is advantageous if the sliding seat is guided on a sliding guide in a preferably linear direction displaced.

In this case, a preferred embodiment according to the invention provides that the sliding guide is arranged at an angle and preferably at right angles to the jump cloth plane.

A particularly advantageous and compact embodiment according to the invention provides that a trampoline stand is provided, on which the sliding guide is held pivotably in an approximately vertically oriented pivot plane.

In order to always comply with the preferably right-angled arrangement between sliding guide on the one hand and jumping mat carrier on the other hand, it is advantageous if the sliding guide is connected or connectable to the jumping cloth carrier.

A preferred development according to the invention provides that the sliding guide can be pivoted about a pivot axis arranged at a distance from the ski carrier. By a pivoting movement about the pivot axis, the sliding guide can be brought into a position inclined to the horizontal, in which the sliding seat moves gravitationally in particular by the weight of the user located on the sliding seat in the direction of the jumping cloth carrier. The on-the-board user experiences an energetic charge that encourages a return movement against the tilt angle of the sliding guide. Upon reaching a sufficient distance between the sliding seat and the jumping cloth carrier, a reversal of the direction of movement, so that the user located on the sliding seat moves again in the direction of the jumping cloth. These training units can be repeated as often as desired to achieve the desired training result.

A particularly advantageous embodiment according to the invention provides that the sliding or reclining seat is movable on a sliding guide, which is held obliquely or obliquely, and preferably has a, the sliding or reclining self-centering sliding guide cross-section. It is particularly advantageous if at least one hydraulic cylinder, an adjusting motor, a grid adjustment or the like height or inclination adjustment acts on the end region of the sliding guide facing away from the jumping cloth carrier, which can be changed and fixed in its position for pivoting the sliding guide. By this height or inclination adjustment of the inclination angle of the sliding guide can be changed and adjusted to the desired angle.

It is expedient if the at least one leg rest is movably held with the seat or the like. This ensures that the at least one leg rest always remains in an optimum position with respect to the user located on the seat.

A preferred embodiment according to the invention provides that on the sliding guide a sliding carriage is displaceably guided, which carries the sliding seat and the at least one leg rest.

In this case, an embodiment is preferred in which each foot of the user is associated with one foot loop.

In order to optimize the training on the trampoline according to the invention, it is expedient if the at least one ankle sling is adjustable so that the user located on the seat comes up with his feet approximately in the middle or in a central zone on the jump cloth.

If necessary, the jumping cloth can also be easily replaced with the jumping cloth carrier if necessary, if the jumping cloth carrier is preferably releasably attached to the sliding guide is held.

In order to conveniently store the trampoline according to the invention and to be able to bring it to the desired training position only when necessary, it is advantageous if the trampoline stand is displaceable on the floor by means of sliding rollers.

Further features of the invention will become apparent from the following description of an embodiment of the invention in conjunction with the claims and the drawings.

The FIGS. 8 to 12 show examples that are not covered by the claims.

In the FIGS. 1 to 6 a trampoline 1 is shown with a jumping towel 2, which is held on a circumferential jumping or tension springs 3 in a jumping mat carrier 4. The trampoline 1 is a designed as a reclining sliding seat 5 assigned to the trampoline user 6, which sliding seat 5 is guided on a sliding guide 7 in a preferably linear direction to the jump cloth 2 slidably.

The jump-cloth carrier 4 is held on the sliding guide 7 such that the sliding guide 7 is always arranged at right angles to the jump-cloth plane. In order to be able to exchange the jump sheet 2 conveniently when needed, the jump sheet carrier 4 is detachably connectable to the sliding guide 7.

The trampoline 1 shown here has a trampoline stand 8, on which the sliding guide 7 is held pivotably in an approximately vertically oriented pivot plane. The sliding guide 7 is pivotable about a pivot axis 9 arranged at a distance from the ski carrier 4. In order to position the sliding guide 7 at the desired angle of inclination to the horizontal and set, attacks at the end of the slide carrier 4 end portion of the sliding guide 7 at least one hydraulic cylinder 10 which is changeable and fixable for pivoting the sliding guide 7 in its length.

The sliding seat 5 is upholstered and has a pivotable backrest 11, which is preferably connected to a headrest 12. In order for the user 6 located on the sliding seat 5 to be able to exercise for a longer period of time without having to keep the legs always in the correct position, a leg support 13 is provided for supporting the legs of the user. This legrest 13 is held displaceably with the sliding seat 5 on the sliding guide 7. On the sliding guide 7, a sliding carriage 14 is displaceably guided, which carries the sliding seat 5 and the leg rest 13.

The leg rest 13 has a gallows 15, which is held on the sliding carriage 14. Two foot loops 16 are held on the gallows 15, wherein these foot loops are adjustable such that the user 6 located on the sliding seat 5 comes up with his feet approximately in the middle or in a middle zone on the jumping sheet 2.

To park the trampoline shown here to save space and to bring only when needed in the desired training position, the trampoline stand 8 is by sliding rollers 7 slidably on the floor.

In Fig. 4 It is indicated that the user 6 located on the sliding seat 5 can, at the beginning of the training, move the sliding seat 5 upwards in the direction opposite to the horizontal sliding guide 7 in the direction away from the jumping sheet 2. If the user has reached the desired height, the user can - as in Fig. 5 seen - let fall down until its positioned by the leg rest feet strike approximately in a central zone of the jumping cloth 2. After the advent in the hammock 2, the spring-tensioned jump sheet 2 gives the user energy back, which - as in Fig. 6 apparent - a return movement of the user in the in Fig. 4 supported starting position supported. By repeated jumps in the jump cloth 2, the user can achieve the desired training result. The change between push-off and emergence on the elastic jump-sheet 2 can have a variety of positive effects, such as an increase in the power in the legs, an improvement of motor skills and sense of balance and stimulation of the metabolism, the digestive system, the lymphatic system and the heart circulatory system.

To relieve the self-weight of the legs, the legs of the user 6 are mounted in the leg rest 13 provided on the movable carriage. To relieve the feet are mounted in the provided on the gallows 15 of the leg rest 13 and here approximately triangular shaped Fußschlingen 16, which are attached via a spring 18 on the gallows. Thus, the weight of the legs is almost neutralized, so that the user 6 can do the training seemingly powerless and similar to the aqua-training. In this way, a training over 15 minutes or longer is possible even with weak leg muscles.

In the triangular shaped foot loops preferably the heels of the feet are hung.

When cross-hung feathers 18 on the gallows 15 after the jump of the legs from the trampoline and extension exercises are possible.

Especially for the private application, it may be advantageous if the trampoline and in particular its trampoline stand are configured collapsible.

In the Fig. 7 to 9 a trampoline 1 is shown in various embodiments, in which the seat 5 is designed for the trampoline user as a seat swing, which is pivotable in the direction of the jumping towel 2. As if from a comparison of Fig. 7 to 9 becomes clear, which can be pivoted to the formed as a seat swing seat 5 to at least one pivot axis 20 which is mounted on the ceiling or held in a rack. While in Fig. 7 shown trampoline with the pivot axis 20 of its seat swing 5 is mounted on the ceiling, the seats 5 are in the Fig. 8 and 9 shown trampolines 1 pivotable about pivot axes 20 which are held in a rack 21.

From a comparison of FIGS. 8 and 9 It is clear that the trained as a seat swing seats 5 in the Fig. 8 and 9 shown trampolines 1 are held on at least two pivot arms 22, which are each mounted pivotably in a trampoline stand 8. While at the in Fig. 8 shown trampoline 1, the pivot axes 20 of the pivot arms 22 are disposed below the seat 5 and thus the bottom side, the pivot axes 20 of the seat 1 in Fig. 9 associated pivot arms 22 above the seat 5 on the trampoline stand 8 stored. The pivot arms 22 in the Fig. 8 and 9 shown trampolines 1 are always arranged parallel to each other.

From a comparison of Fig. 7 to 9 It is also clear that the jumping sheet 2 of the trampoline 1 can be integrated into a trampoline stand 8, fixed to the wall and / or supported on the floor.

In Fig. 10 a trampoline 1 is shown, which is configured as a sliding or reclining seat 5 seat on a sliding guide 7 is moved obliquely or obliquely - practically as "inclined plane" - is held. In this case, this sliding guide 7 has a concave and thus self-centering sliding guide cross-section, which keeps the sliding or reclining seat 5 always in the middle of the sliding guide 7. The trampoline user located on the sliding or reclining seat 5 can thus initially repel the jumping cloth 2 in order to convert the repelling force supported by the jumping sheet 2 into a linear movement of the sliding or reclining seat 5 on the inclined sliding guide 7.

From a comparison of 10 and 11 It is clear that the sliding or reclining seat 5 on its underside seat rollers 23, which allow easy movement of the sliding or reclining seat 5 on the sliding guide 7. Here are at the sitting or lying surface of in Fig. 11 Sliding or reclining seat handles 24 or the like handle provided in detail, which can surround the lying on the sliding or reclining seat 5 trampoline users.

In Fig. 12 a trampoline 1 is shown in which the designed as a sliding seat 5 seat is guided on a vertical sliding guide 7 slidably. To the repulsion movement the trampoline user on the jump sheet 2 of the trampoline 1 is integrated into the sliding guide 7, a compression spring 25 or the like restoring element which stores the gravity-induced return movement of the sliding seat 5 in itself to the stored energy during the repulsive movements of the trampoline user on To give away the towel 2 again.

Out Fig. 12 It is clear that the arranged approximately at right angles to the sliding guide 7 jump sheet 2 in the trampoline stand 8 of in Fig. 12 integrated trampoline is integrated.
