Description

The invention relates to a fitness apparatus in the form of a garment, with a skin stimulation device acting on the skin surface of a fitness apparatus wearer in a stimulation area, with at least one pressure chamber designed as a hollow chamber, which produces a skin surface-acting pressure in a depressurized state in the stimulation area and which is designed to be transferable from a depressurized state to an overpressurized state in which an overpressure is applied to the skin surface in the stimulation area.

It has been known for over 5000 years that a pressure action on the skin surface is beneficial to health. In ancient times, cow hammers with a hole were used to suck in air and to accumulate tissue fluid by pressure action in the stimulation area. Later, instead of cow hammers, scrap jars were used, which were filled with hot air. When cooled, the air compressed and formed a pressure.

In recent times this method has been further developed and partly applied in the corporate sector.

The US 726.791 is a pressure-reducing suit with a rigid spacer holder, but the disadvantage is that the suit lacks freedom of movement due to the rigid spacer holder that keeps the suit's shell away from the skin surface.

US 1,440,157 shows a belt-like exercise device that forms a pressure zone in the abdominal area, where the pressure is generated by the elastic forces of a forward-curving membrane.

US 4.230.114 shows a pair of trainers which generate a pressure drop in the trainers.

The devices of US 1,440,157 and US 4,230,114 do not allow selective adjustment of the pressure range to specific body zones.

US-A-4738249 is a device which allows the application of downstream skin stimulation devices to exert pressure and which can be relieved by joint ventilation.

Finally, the applicant's WO 01/52787 describes a fitness device in the form of a garment which produces a pressure chamber on the skin surface in a pressure chamber enclosed on one side by the body of a wearer of the garment. To prevent the body from being attached to the body, spacers are provided which can be inflated.

Although the WO 01/52787 device already has a very good fitness effect, it is possible to increase this effect.

The purpose of the invention, according to WO 01/52787, is therefore to increase the fitness-enhancing effect of a fitness equipment with the characteristics mentioned at the outset.

This task is solved for the type of equipment by means of a number of independent skin stimulation devices that can be switched from the depressurised to the overpressurised state and by a control device that coordinates the sequence of switching of individual skin stimulation devices from the depressurised to the overpressurised state.

The invention of this solution increases the fitness-enhancing effect of the fitness equipment compared with conventional equipment. First, as before, tissue fluid is sucked into the subcutaneous adipose tissue of the stimulation area with blood and lymphatic fluid under pressure.

The resulting massage effect of the device increases the circulation-increasing effect and thus the effect of the device compared to the state-of-the-art devices.

The fitness-enhanced effect of the fitness equipment according to the invention is enhanced by the provision of several skin stimulation devices connected to the control device and capable of being independently transferred from the depressurized state to the overpressurized state. This design allows, by virtue of the independent control of the skin stimulation devices, the adjustment of the stimulated skin area to the body conditions of the wearer of the fitness equipment. This design allows specific problem areas to be specifically affected. The control device may have a controller which can be set to reverse the pressure of the switching signals to individual skin stimulation devices. In this way, the order of the switching pressure can be adjusted from the depressurized state to the overpressurized skin state. This design can be coordinated by means of a specific anatomical or anatomical device. This is possible by means of a specific control device, which can be set to move the body in the direction of the overpressure or the overpressure.

In a further training, individual devices of the majority of semistimulation devices can also be coupled to respond simultaneously to the switching signal.

Dermal stimulation devices have a pressure chamber which, in the overpressure state, is subjected to a chamber pressure greater than the ambient pressure and/or which, in the depressured state, is subjected to a chamber pressure lower than the ambient pressure.

The pressure chambers are designed as hollow chambers which, depending on the switching signal, can be connected to the suction side and/or the pressure side and/or to an outlet of a fluid pump connected to the environment.

In the case of a hyperpressure device, the skin stimulation device may be particularly supported on the skin surface. In this design, the hyperpressure device acts as a spacer. In another advantageous design, the hyperpressure device may be spaced away from the skin surface.

The hollow chamber may, in a further design, have at least a flexible envelope in sections, so that it expands under pressure and contracts under pressure.

In another advantageous design, the skin stimulation device may also have an elastic element which, in the state of overpressure, exerts a pressure force on the stimulation area. The elastic element may, for example, be in the form of spring-loaded straps that stretch the pressure chamber or in the form of springs that rest on the skin surface of the wearer of the fitness equipment. If the skin stimulation device is pressurised with a substrate, the substrate acts against the pressure force of the elastic elements and compresses them. The elastic elements can be used to generate an overpressure in the overpressure state, which greatly simplifies the construction of the fitness equipment.

The fitness equipment may also be equipped with a magnetic field device which produces a magnetic field acting on the body of the fitness equipment wearer, which produces positive effects on the body of the fitness equipment wearer.

In addition, a further advantageous design may also include an irradiation device, through which the wearer's body is irradiated at least partially with light in the visible range or in the infrared or ultraviolet range. By means of light conductors, for example, fiber optic cables, according to a beneficial further training, the light can be directed from a light source to certain areas of the wearer. This allows greater freedom in the design of the fitness equipment, since the light source can be placed anywhere. By irradiating the skin surface with infrared rays, a local heating of the skin can be achieved.

In order to maintain a climate within the equipment suitable for the purpose of use, a climate control device may be provided, in accordance with appropriate training, to regulate at least partially the humidity and/or temperature in the area adjacent to the skin surface of the equipment. This may be done, for example, by controlling the humidity of the fluid introduced into the equipment or its temperature.

In order to give the wearer greater freedom of movement and at the same time to enable him to exercise during the operation of the fitness equipment, for example in a gym, the fitness equipment fitted as a garment is designed to be flexible and moveable, so that it can follow the movements of its wearer without major obstacles. For this purpose, the fitness equipment may in particular have a flexible, preferably fluid-transparent cover in the stimulation area. The fitness equipment is used as a protective suit, especially when simultaneously exercising. An appropriate interior coating that provides a sense of wear, for example a valve material, further increases the wearer's comfort.

To increase the fitness-promoting and slimming effects of the exercise equipment, the invention provides that the skin stimulation device alternately applies a low pressure and an overpressure on the stimulation area.

The fitness equipment may be in the form of trousers, shirts, full-body suits, arm or leg bandages or body armour.

The following is a detailed description of the fitness equipment according to the invention, using examples of the figures in the attached figure, using the same reference marks for the same components.

It shows: Figure 1A first example of an embodiment of a fitness apparatus in accordance with the invention;Figure 2A second example of an embodiment of a fitness apparatus in accordance with the invention;Figure 3A third example of an embodiment of a fitness apparatus in accordance with the invention;Figure 3B the embodiment of Figure 3A in cross-section;Figure 4A fourth example of an embodiment of a fitness apparatus in accordance with the invention;Figure 5A fifth example of an embodiment of an embodiment of a fitness apparatus in accordance with the invention;Figure 5A cross-section of a fitness apparatus in accordance with the invention;Figure 6A;Figure 6A;Figure 6A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Figure 7A;Fig

First, the construction of a first example of the fitness equipment of the invention is described in Figure 1.

Figure 1 shows a fitness equipment 1 in the form of a garment worn by a wearer 2 only schematically shown. Fitness equipment 1 has the form of a full-body suit or overalls with a collar 3 and bindings 4 on the arms. The bindings 4 seal the interior of the fitness suit 1. Thumb loops 4' prevent the suit from slipping.

Fitness suit 1 is fitted with skin stimulation devices 5a to d, which are essentially tubular and extend the entire body of the wearer 2.

The area of each skin stimulation device 5 defines a stimulation area on the skin surface of the wearer 2 where the skin stimulation device 2 acts on the wearer's body 2 by applying pressure or pressure. The skin stimulation areas 5a to d are separated from each other by separation areas 7. The separation areas 7 isolate the stimulation areas from each other so that a skin stimulation device 5 affects only the area of stimulation associated with it.

In the example shown in Figure 1, a total of four skin stimulation devices 5a to d are provided in the torso area. The skin stimulation device 5e, which is located on the legs, acts on both legs simultaneously. The number of skin stimulation devices 5 can be varied according to the needs and size of the suit.

The skin stimulation devices in Figure 1 are operated by a fluid pressure produced by a pump device 8; the fluid used in the example in Figure 1 is a gas, such as an inert gas such as helium or carbon dioxide, or a mixture of gases, such as ambient air.

The fluid pressure produced by the pump device 8 - that is, a pressure lower or higher than the ambient pressure in the outer environment of the equipment - is transmitted to the skin stimulation devices by pressure lines 9a, 9b, 9c, which are connected to the suction side or pressure side of the pump device 8.

As shown in Figure 1, in the example shown in Figure 1, the upper and lower skin stimulation devices 5a and 5d are connected in the torso area by a connecting line 10 and the connecting line 10 is connected to the pressure line 9b, so that the upper and lower skin stimulation devices 5 in the torso area always have the same fluid pressure.

Similarly, the two intermediate skin stimulation devices 5b and 5c are connected in the trunk area by a connecting line 11; the connecting line 11 is connected to the pressure line 9a, so that the two skin stimulation devices 5b and 5c always have the same fluid pressure; the skin stimulation device 5e at the legs is charged separately by a 9c pressure line, as shown in Figure 1.

The pump device 8 does not show a control device which gives a switch signal to overpressure or underpressure the pressure lines 9a to c via switch valves 10a to c. Thus, any skin stimulation device 5 may apply either underpressure to the skin surface or underpressure to the skin surface within its assigned stimulation range.

If the skin is under pressure, blood and tissue fluid accumulate in the area of stimulation, and if the skin is overpressured, blood and tissue fluid are pushed out of the area of stimulation.

The suit-like equipment in Figure 1 is operated as follows: first, air is sucked out of the suit via the 9 c pressure line, so that the pressure in the suit is between 50 and 600 millibars. The airtight outer skin of the suit presses with the corresponding pressure on the skin of person 2 in suit 1. The 9 a pressure line is connected to the suction side of the pump device 8 while the 9 b pressure line is connected to the pump pressure side. In this way, the skin stimulation devices 5 a and 5 d blow up so that the skin stimulation devices 5 b and 5 c loaded with pressure are released from the skin.

To increase the efficiency, the example shown in Figure 1 and the following examples may include devices to generate a magnetic field, light sources with optical fibre lines and air conditioning devices to cool the air supplied by the pump device 8.

Figure 2 shows a second example of a fitness device according to the invention, which is designed in the shape of a trouser and is flexible enough to allow the wearer to perform normal sports activities. The stimulation areas in this example extend over the thigh, lower abdomen and lower abdomen, so that the example in Figure 2 is particularly suitable for fat loss in the thigh, buttocks and lower abdomen only. The skin stimulation devices 5 assigned to the stimulation areas extend in the direction of the leg from just above the knee to the waist. Each skin stimulation device is separated by a pressure conductor 7 separated from the skin stimulation device by a pressure terminal and connected to the skin by a pressure terminal 9 or 9 - 5 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 9

The example shown in Figure 2 also provides for an air conditioning device (not shown) to regulate the temperature and/or humidity in the panty 1 to adjustable values, for example by conditioning the compressed air supplied by the pressure pipes.

Figure 3A shows a third example, also designed as a pair of trousers. Figure 3B shows the third example in cross section. Unlike the example in Figure 2, the stimulation areas with their skin stimulation devices are extended in the perimeter of the thigh and waist in Figure 3. For simplicity, only one of the two skin stimulation devices with a pressure line is shown in Figure 3A.

In the cross-section of Figure 3B, it can be seen that the hollow-chamber-like skin stimulation devices 5a, 5c, 5e and 5g are inflated by overpressure. This causes the skin stimulation devices 5a, 5c, 5e and 5g to rest on the skin and exert pressure there.Since the pressure-suppressed skin stimulation devices 5b, 5d, 5e are attached to the body 14 of the fitness equipment 1 and are pushed away from the wearer's body 2 by the inflated skin stimulation devices 5b, 5d and 5e, a cavity 15 forms between the pressure-suppressed skin stimulation devices 5b, 5d and 5e, which exerts a suction effect on the skin surface.In addition, the skin stimulation devices can be used to create any patterns that allow any interaction and any adjustment of the stimulation areas to the body geometry, as illustrated in Figure 4.

Figure 5A shows a fifth example of the fitness apparatus of the invention, Figure 5B shows a cross-section of this example, and Figure 5A shows four skin stimulation devices 5a - d in the abdomen of the fitness suit 1.

In the cross section of Figure 5 B, the skin stimulation devices are formed by hollow chambers with a flexible body 16 and the flexible body 16 of the suit is also shown in this figure.

In Figures 5A and 5B, the upper skin stimulation device 5a and the lower skin stimulation device 5d are overpressurised so that they are in the inflated overpressure state. The two middle skin stimulation devices 5b and 5c are underpressurised so that they are contracted in the underpressure state. In the overpressure state, the skin stimulation devices 5a and d in the stimulation areas 13 rest on the skin surface 19 of carrier 2 and exert overpressure on the tissue below.

In the stimulation region 16, which is associated with the two skin stimulation systems 5b and c, which are in the depressed state, there is a depressed state.

The two inflated skin stimulation devices 5a and 5d act as spacers, so that the two collapsed skin stimulation devices 5 are pushed away from the skin surface 19 of wearer 2 to form a pressure-suppressed chamber 15 between the skin stimulation devices 5 in the depressed state and the skin surface 19.

If the two intermediate skin stimulation devices 5 b, c are subjected to an overpressure and the two peripheral skin stimulation devices 5 a, d are subjected to a underpressure, the two peripheral skin stimulation devices 5 a, d collapse to form a chamber 15 with a subpressure stimulation area 16 below each of them, while the two intermediate stimulation devices press on the skin to form a overpressure stimulation area 13.

Figures 6 A to 6 D show a first operation of another example of a fitness apparatus 1 in the form of clothing, according to the invention. The pressure-suppressed skin stimulation devices are designated by U in Figures 6 A to 6 D, the overpressure-suppressed by Ü. These correspond to the pressure-suppressed and overpressure-stimulation zones 13 and 16 respectively.

The fitness equipment shown in Figures 6 A to 6 D is designed in the form of a bodyguard extending from the hip area to the underarms. The fitness equipment has a total of eight concentric, ring-shaped skin stimulation devices 5 a - h in the torso area, to which pressure channels 9 a - h are attached. The pressure channels 9 a - b provide the skin stimulation devices with a fluid sub- or a fluid overpressure. Each second skin stimulation device is connected in parallel circuits to the same pressure source.

In the initial position shown in Figure 6A, starting with the first skin stimulation device 5a, every second skin stimulation device 5a, 5c, 5e, 5g is subjected to an excess pressure, while starting with the second skin stimulation device 5b, every second skin stimulation device 5b, 5d, 5f, 5h is subjected to an excess pressure. At regular intervals, for example every 5 to 40 seconds, preferably every 10-20 seconds, the first state of operation shown in Figure 6A is switched to the second state of operation shown in Figure 6B. In the operating state shown in Figure 6b, starting with the uppermost skin stimulation device 5b, 5d, 5f, 5h, every second skin stimulation device 5b is subjected to an excess pressure. The second skin stimulation device 5b, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g, 5g

As can be seen in Figures 6C and 6D, which are cross sections of the operating conditions of Figure 6A and Figure 6B, switching each skin stimulation device 5 from the depressurized to the hyperpressurized state and vice versa causes a corresponding change in the stimulation regions 13, 16 and so results in a massage of the subcutaneous fat tissue.

Another example of the control of the stimulation range of the fitness apparatus according to the invention is shown in Figure 7 A to 7 F. The same fitness apparatus is used as shown in Figures 6 A to 6 D. Figures 7 A to 7 C show a front view, Figures 7 D to 7 F show a cross section of the front view above.

In Figures 7A to 7F, each of the 5a-h skin stimulation devices can be controlled independently of the other skin stimulation devices, thus creating a stimulation area that moves across the body surface by means of targeted and coordinated control of the skin stimulation devices.

In Figure 7A, the upper skin stimulation device 5a is first pressurised, while the other skin stimulation devices 5b - h are pressurised, then the pressure in the upper skin stimulation device 5a is gradually reduced and pressure is built up in the adjacent skin stimulation device 5b below until the operating state shown in Figure 7B is reached.

In the operating condition of Figure 7B, the upper skin stimulation device 5a is under pressure and the lower skin stimulation device is under pressure; the remaining skin stimulation devices 5c - h are unchanged from the condition of Figure 7A.

The above procedure is then repeated with the skin stimulation device below it in such a way that the overpressured stimulation area along the fitness device 1 moves from top to bottom, as shown by the black-black skin stimulation device in Figures 7A to 7C. Next, the pressure is gradually reduced in the second skin stimulation device 5b and 5c pressure is built up in the adjacent skin stimulation device below it until the condition shown in Figure 7C is reached and the third skin stimulation device 5c is overpressured while the other skin stimulation devices 5a - b, d - h are underpressured.

In a further development of this method, several stimulation areas may also run along the body simultaneously, for example by adding additional pressure to the fifth skin stimulation device 5 e from above in the initial position of Figure 7 A and moving this stimulation area downwards in addition to and in sync with the stimulation area of the upper skin stimulation device 5 a.

The cross-sections of Figures 7 D to 7 F show the movement of the stimulation area by coordinated control of the skin stimulation areas 5a to 5h. The sequence shown in Figures 7A to 7C shows a stimulation area comprising a pressure area 13 and two pressure areas 16 adjacent to this pressure area 13 above and below, moving downwards towards the arrow 17 enabling a massage-like effect on the skin surface, extending to the lower layers, up to the muscle area.

By simple modifications in the control, the downward movement of the stimulation areas 13 and 16 in Figures 7A to 7F can be reversed by starting from the lower stimulation device 5h instead of the upper one.

Figures 8A and 8B show a seventh example of the fitness equipment according to the invention, in which, in contrast to the example in Figures 5, 6 and 7, the skin stimulation devices 5a - h and thus the stimulation areas assigned to these skin stimulation devices extend not in peripheral direction but in the longitudinal direction of the body.

By targeting the skin stimulation devices 5a - h of the embodiment in Figures 8A and 8D, a movement of the stimulation area in peripheral direction is possible when the individual skin stimulation devices 5 are controlled in a similar manner to that in the embodiment in Figures 7A to 7F.

This is illustrated in Figure 8B, where two overpressured stimulation areas Ü are shown to move in the direction of the body in the direction of the arrow 18 except for the different direction of movement 18 (in the direction of the body rather than downwards in the direction of 17), the operation shown in Figure 8B corresponds to the operation shown in Figures 7A-7F, so that the description of Figures 7A-7F can be referred to here.

Figure 9 shows an eighth example of the fitness apparatus according to the invention, in which the skin stimulation devices 5 are arranged in the form of small polygonal areas which can be independently controlled.

Here again, the procedure is the same as in the example shown in Figures 7 A to 7 F. Moving a stimulation area around the body, starting from a skin stimulation device 5 or a group of skin stimulation devices 5 subjected to overpressure, creates an overpressure in an environment in the direction of movement of these skin stimulation devices, while reducing the pressure in the originally overpressured skin stimulation devices. This process is continued so that the overpressure area moves in a certain direction over the body.

In this case, all skin stimulation devices 5 of a fitness equipment are initially subjected to an excess pressure, only one skin stimulation device or group of skin stimulation devices is subjected to a pressure. Starting from this area of pressure, adjacent skin stimulation devices located in the intended direction of movement of the stimulation area are then subjected to a pressure.

Figure 10 shows the fluid structure of a fitness equipment 1 as an example.

The pump device 8 produces a low pressure at one suction side 23 and an overpressure at one pressure side 24.
