Benefits of technology

The present invention aims to provide a fitness apparatus with a resistance apparatus that is small and can offer a consistent training resistance. This will help to overcome the existing problems associated with the existing devices.

Problems solved by technology

A problem with the known portable fitness apparatus is that the performance of training exercises is limited.
The number of training exercises which can be performed with the fitness apparatus is also limited.
The coupling of additional resistance apparatuses in order to increase the training resistance is regarded as very awkward.
Moreover, the additional resistance apparatuses hamper the freedom of movement during a training exercise.

Embodiment Construction

[0005]The object of the present invention is to at least partially overcome at least one of the abovementioned drawbacks, or to provide a usable alternative. In particular, the object of the invention is to provide a fitness apparatus having a resistance apparatus which is compact and can deliver a constant training resistance.

[0006]The invention provides a fitness apparatus for the performance of a training exercise by a person. The fitness apparatus comprises at least one resistance apparatus for the creation of training resistance. The resistance apparatus comprises a housing for the accommodation of a winding device. The winding device is arranged to wind up and unwind a flexible element. In particular, the flexible element is a line, also referred to as a rope or a cord. Flexible here denotes that the flexible element is pliable and bendable in the transverse direction. Preferably, the flexible element is non-elastic and substantially inextensible, such that the flexible elemen...

Abstract

Portable mobile fitness apparatus for the performance of a training exercise by a person. The fitness apparatus has a disc-shaped resistance apparatus having a winding device inside a housing. With the winding device, a line can be wound onto a winding element. The winding device is coupled by means of a one-way bearing to a resistance unit, wherein the resistance unit serves to generate a training resistance. As a result of the one-way bearing, the winding element has a freewheel in a first rotational direction and the winding element meets a resistance in an opposite, second rotational direction corresponding to the unwinding of the winding element.

Description

Field of the Invention[0001]The present invention relates to a fitness apparatus, in particular to a fitness apparatus which can be worn by a person on the body.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]A portable fitness apparatus of this type is known from WO97 / 34662. The fitness apparatus has a hip belt, which is provided with two resistance apparatuses. Each resistance apparatus is provided with a cord having a handle. A training exercise can be performed by pulling on the cord, whereupon the resistance apparatus generates a training resistance. In the case of the known fitness apparatus, it is intended to deliver a constant resistance during the performance of a training exercise.[0003]The training resistance which is created by the resistance apparatus is delivered by a coiled leaf spring inside the housing of the resistance apparatus. By pulling on the flexible element, the leaf spring is made to uncoil and thereupon generate a training resistance. If so desired, it is possible to inc...
