  • Publication number: 20230001264
    Abstract: A foldable gymnastic machine comprising a supporting structure to rest said gymnastic machine on a resting surface, comprising a front portion, comprising in turn a resistance member, and a rear portion, an exercise device, through which a user performs a gymnastic exercise, coupled to said supporting structure and to said resistance member, capable of resisting during the execution of a gymnastic exercise, said exercise device comprising a second pair of levers for the feet, in turn comprising a first and a second lever, each provided with a first end, coupled to said supporting structure, and a free second end, capable of fitting said user's feet during the execution of the gymnastic exercise, said gymnastic machine being characterized in that said first and second lever of said second pair of levers for the feet are capable of passing from an open position, in which the user can perform the gymnastic exercise, to a closed position, when the gymnastic machine is not in use.

  • Patent number: 10434364
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a support frame for a gymnastic apparatus, particularly for a cycling simulation device, comprising a base, and a first arm hinged with said base and a second arm hinged with said base, so that said first and second arm can assume a closed position and an open position, rotating with respect to said base, characterized in that said support frame comprises an articulation member articulated with said base and said first and second arm such that the rotation of one of said first or second arm relatively to said base causes a rotational translation of said articulation member and the rotation of the other arm with respect to said base, causing the passage from said closed position to said open position or vice versa.

  • Patent number: 10272295
    Abstract: Control system of a cycling simulation device, said device comprising a support frame, with which a user carries out training by acting on the pedals of said bicycle, a flywheel rotating around a main shaft, connected to said coupling members, and a braking device, acting on said flywheel, comprising: a control logic unit, capable of connecting in transmission and reception with a remote device, by which a user can set one or more training parameters, and a torque sensor for detecting and sending to said control logic unit a signal related to the torque acting on said main shaft during the rotation of said flywheel, and said control logic unit being configured so as to adjust the braking force exerted by said braking device on said flywheel as a function of training parameters and of signal related to the torque acting on said main shaft detected by torque sensor.

  • Patent number: 9162103
    Abstract: Regulating group for adjusting the initial operating position of an interface associated with a gymnastic machine comprising a frame; a load group connected to the interface through a respective transmission device; a support group designed to carry the interface movable relative to the frame; the regulating group comprising a return device suitable, in use, to define, at the initial operating position, a stop for the movement of the interface relative to the frame; wherein the return device can be connected, in use, to the transmission device through a given coupling, so that to each variation in the initial operating position actuated through the return device corresponds a respective given variation in the operating configuration of the transmission device.
