DE3025393A1 - Training vehicle for rowers - has three or four wheels driven through rope and gearing fitted with freewheel and roll-up mechanism - Google Patents

Abstract

The training vehicle has at least three wheels and has its own hand operated drive. The vehicle includes a roller seat (1) for the operator. The frame (6) is equipped with three or four wheels (5) with at least one wheel or alternatively one axle being driven by the operator through a rope (2) and a corresponding gearing (3) with the latter fitted with a roll-up mechanism for the rope (2) as well as with a corresponding free wheel system. This permits a transfer of power through the rope in the direction of vehicle drive. When the rope is released it is pulled in.

Description

Trimm vehicle

The invention relates to a trim vehicle with at least three Wheels and self-propulsion similar to a Dutchman.

Stationary exercise machines are not very motivating and are therefore only reluctantly used. It is known from the bicycle, for example, that it is indeed the cycle stressed, but hardly any other muscles besides the leg muscles trained. As ideal with regard to an even strain on the heart, circulation, lungs and almost the rowboat must be viewed from all muscle groups. However, it is not everywhere applicable.

It is the object of the present invention to create a trimming device, which offers a high level of motivation through its own mobility and at the same time has the optimal trim effect of rowing.

This object is achieved according to the invention in that on a trim vehicle with at least three wheels and self-propulsion similar to a Dutch for the operator a roll seat is provided. By combining a Dutchman with a rolling seat the operator is given the opportunity, regardless of the presence of Water to achieve an even workout for almost all muscle groups, whereby In addition, a high level of motivation is given through the use of a movable one Vehicle.

The invention will then be described on the basis of an exemplary embodiment explained in more detail: The illustration shows a vehicle similar to the well-known Dutchman. On the frame 6 three or four wheels 5 are arranged, wherein at least a wheel or an axle by the operator via a rope 2 and a corresponding one Gear 3 is driven. The transmission 3 has a roll-up mechanism for the rope 2 and a corresponding freewheel, so that by pulling on the rope a power transmission in the direction of travel is possible and by slacking off the rope this is rolled up again in the transmission 3. On the frame 6 of the vehicle is arranged a rolling seat 1, which allows the operator to develop power carry out a sequence of movements corresponding to rowing required on pedal 4. Compared to the rowing boat, for example, is a great advantage that the operator is sitting on the vehicle with a view in the direction of travel. Included it is irrelevant whether the power is transmitted into the gearbox via a cable or whether levers are attached to the side according to the known home rowing devices, which act on a wheel or an axle. The transmission can be a mechanical one Have multi-speed gearboxes with freewheel or, for example, a hydraulic pump, a memory and a hydraulic motor to drive the wheels. The steering can take place, for example, via two separate pedals 4, similar to the control in a paddle boat. A brake can be operated, for example, via an additional Pedal or by changing the incline of the pedals 4.
