  • Patent number: 7601102
    Abstract: Gymnastic machine (1) for simulating the skating movement provided with a frame (10) carrying a load unit (20), with an exercise station (30) for performing a training exercise, and with a first functional group (31) and a second functional group: the first group (31) being mechanically connected to the load unit (20) in order to exchange mechanical energy with this latter; the first group (31) comprising at least a footrest (33) carried in a rotatable manner and in open chain by the frame (10); the second functional group (60) comprising at least a third lever (61); transmission means (70) being positioned between the first and second functional groups (31)(60) in order to connect each third lever (61) to a respective footrest (33) for performing a training exercise for training the upper limbs in combination with a simulation of the skating movement.

  • Publication number: 20070225130
    Abstract: Gymnastic machine (1) is provided with a frame (10) and a pair of footrests (20), each of which is movable on a shaped element (30) designed in a given fashion along an arched trajectory (P), with each footrest (20) being connected to the frame (10) in open chain by means of at least one arm (40) rotating about a first substantially vertical axis (42), with each arm (40) being provided, at the respective footrest (20), with a rotatable member (22) suitable to roll on the shaped element (30), and a controlling device (50) is associated with each footrest (20) for varying, in use, the orientation of the footrest (20) so as to make this footrest (20) able to rotate in the opposite direction to a rotation imposed on the corresponding arm (40).

  • Publication number: 20050272562
    Abstract: Exercise machine in which a resistance element and an exercise station unit are arranged side by side to exchange energy; the resistance element having at least one arm carried rotatably by a frame around a fixed shaft, and a footboard coupled rotatably to the arm; each footboard being movable over an open trajectory P and shaped in such a way as to be interfaceable with a particular portion of an extremity of a user; the exercise station including at least one mechanism suitable for controlling the rotation of the corresponding footboard with respect to the corresponding arm in such a way that each footboard is inclined inwards on the outward thrust stroke of the relative arm, and is simultaneously rotated forward, so as to lower its respective front section and raise its respective rear section.
