  • Patent number: 11571601
    Abstract: An apparatus for exercising the muscles. The apparatus includes an exercising device having a power arm or lever, which can be equipped with actuating elements at a first end of the power arm or lever. A second end of the power arm or lever is arranged on a retaining element in a way pivotable about a pivot axis at a first articulated joint. A compression-spring element can be articulated, by way of a first end of the compression-spring element at a first point of articulation on the power arm and articulated, by way of a second end of the compression-spring element at a second point of articulation on the retaining element.

  • Patent number: 11565145
    Abstract: An exercising device including a lever or power arm which is able to be arranged by a first end on a retaining element at a first articulated joint in a way pivotable about a pivot axis or pin, whereby a resistance element is able to be coupled by a first end region at a first coupling point on the power arm, and by a second end region at a second coupling point at a second articulated joint on the retaining element. The exercising device is able to be detachably arranged on a structure by means of an engaging connection, which is formed by a hook-shaped recess and a rod-shaped element and whereby the exercising device is lockable in an engaged position by means of a fixation.

  • Publication number: 20210178215
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an exercising device (1) comprising a lever or power arm (10) which is able to be arranged by a first end (12) on a retaining element (16) at a first articulated joint (13) in a way pivotable about a pivot axis or pin (14), whereby a resistance element (18) is able to be coupled by a first end region (20) at a first coupling point (22) on the power arm (10), and by a second end region (24) at a second coupling point (26) at a second articulated joint (25) on the retaining element (16). The exercising device (1) is able to be detachably arranged on a structure (40) by means of an engaging connection, which is formed by a hook-shaped recess (50) and a rod-shaped element (46) and whereby the exercising device (1) is lockable in an engaged position by means of a fixation.

  • Patent number: 10052513
    Abstract: An apparatus (1) for exercising muscles comprises a power arm (2), which is pivotable about a pivot shaft (5), which is disposed on a holding element (6). The first articulation point (7) at which a compression spring element (9) is linked to the power arm (2) is adjustable along the power arm (2). To achieve this, one end region (8) of the compression spring element (9) is provided with a first joint surface (14), and a series of second joint surfaces (16), which are designed complementary to the first joint surface (14), is disposed across an adjustment zone (10) along the power arm (2). The first joint surface (14) is operatively connectible to one of the second joint surfaces (16), and the power arm (2) is pressed via a further spring element (18) toward the one end region (8) of the compression spring element (9) such that the two operatively connected joint surfaces are kept in contact with each other. Resulting thereby is a simple possibility of adjustment of the force to be applied to the power arm.

  • Patent number: 9713738
    Abstract: An apparatus for exercising the muscles, comprising a power arm having actuating elements at one end area, and where the other end of the power arm is pivotally connected to a holding element through a first hinge. The apparatus further comprises a spring element, wherein one end of the spring element is linked to the power arm at a first articulation point, and a second end of the spring element is linked to the holding element through a second articulation point. A support is further included which lies on an imaginary plane defined by an x-axis and a y-axis. The holding element is connected to the support by a rotary hinge which allows the holding element to rotate with respect to the support about a shaft which lies on an axis that is normal to the imaginary plane.

  • Publication number: 20160016033
    Abstract: An apparatus for exercising the muscles comprises a power arm which, at one end area, is equipped with actuating elements and, with the other end area, is pivotable about a first hinge. This first hinge is arranged on a holding element. One end area of a spring element is linked in an articulated way to the power arm at a first articulation point, the other end area of which spring element is linked in an articulated way to the holding element. The holding element is connected to a support via a rotary hinge, is rotatable about this support in one plane and can be locked in each correspondingly set rotation position. This apparatus allows a wide variety of muscle groups to be exercised and moved in a very simple way.
