Abstract

Apparatus for the muscle development or the muscular re-education of the human body. The invention relates to an apparatus permitting the formation or the re-education of muscles in a progressive manner. It consists of a bar 1 pierced with holes, of a bar 3, of a lever 5 pierced with holes, of a double handle 6, of an elastic system 7 fastened into the holes of the bars 1 and 5 or into the slides, and of plates 2 and 4 which are fixed so as to permit the fastening or the screwing for fixing the apparatus. The device according to the invention is intended particularly for re-education in physiotherapy, muscle development in a gym and muscle development or re-education at home.

Description

 The present invention relates to a muscular or muscular rehabilitation apparatus.

 Bodybuilding is generally done with machines with weights and often a large bulk.

Apparatus according to the invention overcomes this drawback
It is small and moreover, is portable
It has three bars of modest dimensions
A vertical bar (1) pierced with holes on which is fixed a plate (2) for holding the device in place (for example to a wall)
A horizontal bar (35 on which a plate (4) is fixed for holding the device in place in another way (for example on a table)
These plates (2) and (4) can be drilled in a dovetail.

A lever (5) pierced with holes, articulated by an axis in its lower part, relative to the bar (3) 0
With a double handle (6) pierced with a hole at each end on which can be suspended straps * 3 and protective foam sleeves and sliding on the lever (5) allowing the height adjustment according to the length of the lever arm desired by the user.

End holes used to hang ropes with combs to facilitate the exercise of certain movements
An elastic extension system (7) which hooks into the holes in the bars (1) and (5).

 The device can be made of any material strong enough to withstand the maximum tension of the elastic system actuated by a humanly possible force (for example in iron, wood, fiber, hard plastic t this list n 'being however not limiting).

 There is no rule regarding the length of the bars (1), (3) (5) nor the elastic system (7) as well as its power. The bars (l) and (3) can be welded together, either fitted perpendicularly and held in place by a pin to facilitate its storage or its carrying.

 your double handle (6) must however have a sufficient diameter for it to be pleasant to hold.

 your holes in the bars (1) and (5) are arranged in such a way that the user can have a power adjustment of the tension of the elastic system by mounting it upwards, ie parallel to the bar (3), either obliquely.

 The elastic system can be obtained in many ways, either by helical springs, or by rubber tensioners, or by hydraulic or pneumatic system (this list is however not exhaustive).

 According to a variant shown in FIGS. (2) and (3), the bars (1) and (5) can be extended by their length, so that the use becomes double, without changing the working position of the body; simply by changing the elastic system.

Example: the user entering in front of the device: if the elastic system is above the crossbar (3), he will pull towards him to activate this system, fig. (2);
if the system is placed below the bar, the user will have to push to activate the elastic system, fig. (3).

 According to a variant shown in fig. (4), the holes of the bars (1) and (5) can title replaced by sliders (10) and. (Ll), which allows the user a much more precise adjustment. .

 These sliders have holes in which the elastic system (7) is fixed, either by hooks, rings, screws, etc.
