The invention is based on the object of creating a training device of the type specified at the outset, which is predominantly is intended for the puss actuation from the seat, but is designed so that it can also be operated by less powerful people can be and at the same time in its arrangement, movement and location for the strengthening of people with minor or weakened Physical forces, so in particular for rehabilitation, can be used. This movement link should be simple in design and easy to use. This is achieved according to the invention in that the moving member as a two-armed pivot lever is designed that one arm of which runs in the standing and holding frame, after a stop is pivotable at the top and is adjustably connected to the spring or springs and that the other arm of the pivot lever itself extends out of the holding frame and at its lower end at least one footrest and above this footrest carries handles on at least one support arm and at a distance from the pivot lever arm. This design of the training device and its moving member enables a person with low or weakened physical strength to get out of the seat can operate the moving member with the feet, but on the one hand an additional force on the handles via the handles Swivel lever can exercise to support footwork and footwork, and on the other hand hold on to the handles or can support yourself on the handles. Overall, therefore, there is also an effect on people with low or weaknesses Body forces in every respect adjustable arrangement of the moving member. It is to such persons by combination working with the feet or legs and the hands or arms is possible to train and strengthen the entire body zxi, without excessive effort or in constant adjustment

the forces to be applied to the movement. The course of the outer pivot lever arm promotes this adaptable Movement, as the lower end of this pivot lever arm moves on an arc of a circle towards the floor, which accommodates the natural movement of the seated patient.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the footrest is locked and locked in the longitudinal direction of the pivot lever arm bar. This means that the position of the footrest can not only be changed; adapted to the individual height of the exercising person, but different loads and forms of load can also be achieved in conjunction with the handles will. This, too, particularly promotes the adaptability of the device to the type of movement work to be performed on the one hand and on the strength of the person exercising on the other.

According to a further embodiment of the invention is the the footrest and the handles carrying the pivot lever arm on the other pivot lever arm releasably in front of the pivot bearing Frame attached. This makes it possible to remove this pivot lever arm from the arm mounted in the frame and instead to connect another moving member so that the pivot lever arm remaining in the frame can also be used for other types of training.

A particularly favorable arrangement in the frame and particularly favorable movement of the with regard to the pivoting movement The pivot lever can be achieved in a further embodiment of the invention that the pivot lever on one side of the frame is mounted and arranged on the opposite side of the frame a support for the pivot lever arm end in the rest position is. A damping element is expediently arranged between the support and the end of the pivot lever arm in order to prevent the pivot lever when the pivot lever is released to absorb an impact as much as possible,

Pur the accommodation of the swivel lever on the one hand and for the desired pivoting movement with regard to foot and leg work supported by hand and arm work on the other hand It is particularly expedient if, according to a further embodiment of the invention, the pivot lever arms have a * Include the bottom or the obtuse angle open to the frame. The pivoting lever arm running in the frame can be a have an almost horizontal rest position and can thus be pivoted upwards in the frame without much space requirement, while the outside of the frame extending pivot lever arm in a particularly favorable position in the direction of the ground and thus to the exercising person can be guided. The executed with this inclination of the pivot lever arm when pivoting it The arc of a circle is particularly suitable for the natural movement of the person exercising.

Further features, details and advantages of the invention emerge from the claims and from the following description of an embodiment of the invention based on the drawing. Show it

Pig. 1 is a schematic side view of the training device according to the invention, with only those parts of the device are shown, which contribute to the explanation of the invention,

Pig, Figure 2 is a front view of the footrest with the handles from Pig. 1.

The training device shown in the drawing has first of all a schematically reproduced stand and holding frame 1, which is composed, for example, of steel profiles. On one side of this frame 1, a pivot bearing 2 for a two-armed pivot lever 3 is arranged. The one Arm 3a of the pivot lever 3 runs in the standing and holding frame 1 and is supported at its end via a suitable damping member 4 in the rest position on a support 5. On the

Sohwenkhelbelarra 3a an adjusting spindle 6 is mounted at both ends, whose adjusting nut 6a with one end of one or two symmetrically arranged springs 7 is connected, which is fixed at the other end at 7a in the frame or are. The adjusting spindle 6 is suitably done by hand or by a The schematically illustrated electric motor 8 is driven to set the point of application of the spring or springs 7 via the adjusting nut 6a to shift and thus to change the spring force acting on the pivot lever 3.

On the pivot lever arm 6a, seen from the outside, the second pivot lever arm 3b is releasable in front of the pivot bearing 2 connected, e.g. with the help of schematically shown plug connections 9. As the drawing shows, the Pivoting lever arms 3a and 3b form an obtuse angle that is open to the floor or to the frame 1.

At its lower end, the pivot lever arm 3b carries a footrest, which is generally designated 10 and, as well Fig. 2 shows, expediently consists of a plate 10a and a bar 10b, This bar is expediently made of a non-slip Material, in particular made of rubber. The footrest 10, but at least the bar 10b is expediently adjustable and lockable in the longitudinal direction of the pivot lever arm 3b to the position of the To adapt the footrest 10 to the patient. This availability and lockability is not shown in the drawing, it can in a suitable manner by detachable fasteners, plug connections or the like. be achieved.

In the direction of the frame 1 above the footrest 10, a support arm 11 is arranged on the pivot lever arm 3b, which extends in the direction of the person exercising and on both sides Has handles 11b at the upper end, as shown in particular in FIG. The exercising person can on the one hand Put your feet on the outer footrest 10 and on the other hand at the same time take the handles 11b to move the pivot lever 3 against the with both hands and feet To deflect the effect of the spring 7, so the pivot lever arm 3b
