    Description
    Title of the invention: The invention relates to a versatile muscle strengthening and rehabilitation device for arms and thighs.
    There are, in this area, very sophisticated devices, of imposing size, heavy, having anatomical adjustments by and for the user of the moment, and capable of stressing the muscles under heavy loads of several tens of kilograms displayed previously by said user. These loads are made adjustable by various devices such as stacked pigs and indexable depending on the load desired by the user, mechanical systems with load and spring return, hydraulic systems ... These devices, at acquisition costs are mainly available in accessible sports halls during defined times and with subscriptions purchased from the company managing the sports space.
    In fact, and given their cost and size in particular, the technicality on board for some, their weight, the complexity of their assembly and adjustment, their maintenance, the space required for their installation, or even of their rate of use, these devices are mainly not acquired by individuals or small physiotherapy centers while their vocation is essentially targeted on a muscular area, that is to say legs or thighs for some, and arms or shoulders and pectorals for others.
    To meet the expectations of individuals in particular under criteria of costs, availability, ease of use, some sales brands specializing in sports equipment and materials market many devices geared towards the general public and usable at home.
    In the category of products concerned by the field of the invention, there are devices of the elastic strings type with handles, elastic strings intertwined by means of intermediate rings, elastic bands modulated in numbered sections to calibrate the effort required, preformed bars articulated on a torsion spring, oval rings made from a spring blade, articulated scissors with elastic bands for use with the arms, training bars to be placed on the ground, mini dumbbells, etc ...
    These devices meet criteria of cost, availability, size, ease of use, and are generally indicated for targeting a set of muscles, particularly of the arms or thighs, by proposing only one type of solicitation, that is to say, traction or compression.
    The object of the present invention, and as an alternative embodiment to the patent application
    N ° 1800359, provides a first differentiating response since, the same device will allow the strengthening or the muscular reeducation of the thighs or the arms, without specific adjustments during use due to stresses of antagonistic muscles during the same sequence of use, and according to previously calibrated and interchangeable loads. These strengthening or rehabilitative effects will result from simple alternating and rhythmic movements, separation and bringing together of the thighs or arms, depending on the zone desired by the user.
    In fact, this light and versatile compact muscle strengthening and rehabilitation device comprises, without specific adjustments during its use, a first subset comprising interchangeable elastic equipment and resistance to elongation and traction previously calibrated or calibrated, first sub-assembly constituting, by its shape and its arrangement, a closed loop comprising between its outward and return strands, a second sub-assembly having interchangeable elastic means and of resistance to compression previously calibrated or calibratable, fixed and / or guided on said closed loop between its outward and return strands, this second sub-assembly being arranged in such a way that it materializes with the first sub-assembly, two lateral tunnels within said closed loop, tunnels from which loads of stretching on the first subset, and compression on the second subset, ser alternately generated by a user by means of his arms, legs or thighs previously inserted in said tunnels.
    According to a first alternative embodiment, the first sub-assembly comprises an elastic belt or a plurality of belts assembled or fixed to reconstitute a closed loop in order to deliver resistance to elongation resulting from movements of spreading the legs, thighs or arms previously positioned by a user inside said closed loop. This or these belt (s) are positioned (s) and / or guided (s) and / or fixed (s) on the second subassembly comprising a central stirrup located between the upper and lower strands of said loop. This stirrup has a quick-attach device for fixing the reconstituted strap (s). This stirrup is flanked by elastic pads which materialize, with the loop returns, two lateral tunnels to allow the passage of the members concerned, and thus generate, a resistance to compression in reaction to any request of pinching said pads due to movements of tightening of the limbs positioned by the user in the materialized tunnel. The central stirrup therefore ensures the functions of positioning and lateral guidance of the lower and upper strands of the belt (s), their longitudinal fixing by a quick-coupling device in the case of belts belt (s) reconstituted (s) by half-loops. This central stirrup further comprises lateral cheeks for ensuring the maintenance in a transverse position of the interchangeable bearings, as well as their maintenance in position by means of a quick-coupling device.
    According to a second simplified variant, an interchangeable and / or calibratable elastic belt is intended to be subjected to tensile forces. This strap is then held and guided in position in grooves and lips made on the upper and lower parts of a foam or rubber balloon. The density of this balloon is chosen to undergo compression forces. These efforts will emanate from a user after passage of the members concerned in the tunnels configured between the belt loops and the sides of the ball.
    According to a third alternative embodiment, said belt can be reconstituted from an interchangeable and / or calibrated elastic band intended to undergo tensile forces. This elastic band is previously introduced into openings passing through a balloon on its lower and upper faces. The density of this balloon is chosen to undergo compression forces. Once this is done, the connection between the ends of the strip is then made by means of a quick coupler of the buttonhole and lug type in order to reconstitute a closed belt. These efforts will emanate from a user after passage of the members concerned in the tunnels configured between the belt loops and the sides of the ball.
    In the case of reconstituted belts closed in the form of a loop, this closure can be achieved by a quick coupling device of the buttonhole and lug type in order to calibrate, as the user expects, the desired forces.
    In another alternative embodiment, the calibrated or calibrable compression resistance equipments of the cushion type can be materialized by a solid balloon or inflatable envelope permanently fixed to a skirt, or temporarily by quick couplings on said skirt. by means of Velcro straps. This same skirt will itself be fixed in the same way on the elastic band stressed by the tension forces.

    Figure 12: Sectional view of the device particularly detailing an extended belt on which is fixed a skirt supporting a full or inflatable balloon and disposed between the upper and lower strands of the reconstituted belt.
    In these various configurations, the preferred mode of use of this equipment would proceed as follows, and this, depending on the category of muscles targeted, namely: [0027] According to the first embodiment, the (or the) elastic belts (3) intended for extension efforts is (are) positioned on the central stirrup (4) positioned between the upper and lower strands of said belt. On this stirrup, and in the case of open strip (s) of type (13), this (s) will be fixed on this stirrup equipped with lug (s) (10) through pre-existing buttonholes (9) on the strip (s), buttonholes serving as calibration for the forces envisaged. Cushions (6) calibrated according to the envisaged force, will be arranged on either side of this stirrup by means of rapid fixing of the hook-and-loop type (16).
    According to the second embodiment, the (or) elastic belts (3) intended (s) for extension forces, and according to Figures 4.5 and section GG, is (are) positioned (s) in grooves having lips (7), which are integrated on the upper and lower external parts of a balloon (8) possibly interchangeable, foam or rubber balloon and chosen as a function of its compressive strength characteristics opposite the planned efforts.
    In an alternative embodiment, and according to Figure 12, the balloon can be fixed and positioned by fasteners of the type Velcro strips by means of a flexible skirt (16) on the upper and lower strands of the (des ) belt (s). Thus configured, the user, according to the envisaged sequence, will introduce the members concerned (arms or thighs), into the tunnel materialized by the returns of belt loops (s) and the side walls of the balloon, itself positioned between the upper strands and lower belt (s).
    The third embodiment differs from the second by the simple fact that it will be to introduce or put on (one) elastic band (s) (8), through openings (11 ) crossing the balloon (8) possibly interchangeable and imaged in section G'.G '. These openings are located under the upper and lower parts of the balloon. The ends of this (these) elastic band (s) (3) intended for extension efforts, are provided with buttonholes (9) for one of them, and lugs for the other end, will then be connected, after passing through these openings, to form a closed belt (3).
    Thus, and with regard to these various configurations, the user, according to the envisaged sequence, will introduce the members concerned (arms or thighs), into the tunnel materialized by the returns of belt loops (s) and the pads or balloon arranged between the upper and lower strands of belt (s) possibly reconstituted (s).
    In a sitting or standing position, the user then equipped, by spacing along fl and tightening according to alternative f2, successive and timed with his thighs, arms stretched or elbows tightened near his waist, will generate tensile and compressive loads on the elastic means assembled and configured.
    These cycles of repetitive effort and movement will then generate muscle strengthening or rehabilitation phases.
    In industrial production, for reasons of cost and weight, it is possible to make the stirrups, preferably made of plastic, in flattering colors and styles.
    The materials which can be used for the elastic components (belts, bands and pads and balloons in particular) could be produced from rubber derivatives in the most flexible hardness (Shore A from 30 to 50) up to the medium (Shore A from 50 to 80) for example, or even for the pads, made of polyurethane foam with a density corresponding to the intensity of the forces envisaged.
    Quick couplings can be made, some of them in elastic bands or fabrics coated with hook-and-loop surfaces.
    Thus configured, the object of the invention thus delivers a first new response, in the sense that it makes it possible to generate on the same compact, light, versatile device, of an affordable cost and in the same configuration. , rhythmic and alternating sequences of traction and compression without changing the machine or device to target areas of rehabilitation and / or the muscles of the legs or that of the arms.
    By its versatility targeting muscle groups of the thighs and arms in particular, by its lightness, its interchangeable arrangements and adjustments adaptable to the intensity of the desired efforts, by its dimensions and its availability, by its purchase cost, this invention therefore provides preferential responses and differentiating characteristics for an operation of the easiest and accessible in maintenance or muscular reinforcement, both in the habitat or other places such as, specialized rooms for the rehabilitation of mobility and muscular reinforcement even other relaxation and maintenance spaces in leisure centers.
