The invention relates to an ergometer (1) that can be folded out on land or underwater, which has the central folding function and attachment of the support-foot extension arms (2a, 2b) on the rotary frame (4) and which comprises a main support (7) and a generator (22) or brake (6). The ergometer is folded out in order to be able to train on the standing bicycle. The ergometer (1) can be converted into a recumbent ergometer or into a hand-crank ergometer by means of a backrest (24) or a hand crank mechanism (23) as an accessory. When the ergometer is not in use, the ergometer (1) can be folded together and elegantly stowed in the folding housing (15) in such a way that the ergometer cannot be seen from the outside.

Description

Klapp-Ergometer  Folding ergometer
Technisches Gebiet Technical area
Die Erfindung geht aus von einem klappbaren Ergometer, welches auch als Hometrainer betitelt werden kann, in Form eines stationären Fahrrades, insbesondere für Schwimmbäder, nach dem Oberbegriff des ersten Anspruches. The invention is based on a folding ergometer, which can also be titled as an exercise bike, in the form of a stationary bicycle, especially for swimming pools, according to the preamble of the first claim.
Stand der Technik State of the art
Ergometer, auch als Indoor-Fahrrad genannt, werden solche Geräte aufgrund medizinischer Vorsorge, als auch für hohe sportliche Aktivitäten vermehrt auch im Wasser eingesetzt unter dem Titel„Aqua fitness". Solche Geräte werden bei Gebrauch ins Wasser des Schwimmbades gestellt und nach dem Training wieder aus dem Schwimmbecken herausgenommen. Selbst V4A Chromstahl neigt zu Korrosion, insbesondere bei Verwendung von Chlorwasser und in Verbindung mit Sauerstoff, sodass die Geräte nach dem Training mit Frischwasser gereinigt werden müssen. Ergometers, also referred to as indoor bicycles, such devices are increasingly used in the water under the title "aqua fitness" due to medical precautions, as well as for high levels of physical activity.These devices are placed in the water of the swimming pool during use and again after training Even V4A chrome steel tends to corrode, especially when using chlorinated water and in combination with oxygen, so the equipment needs to be cleaned with fresh water after training.
Um den Widerstand an den Fusspedalen eines Ergometers zu erhöhen, werden bei Geräten im Wasser Wasserbremsen in Form von Blechen an den Pedalen oder Propeller mit verstellbaren Flügel eingesetzt, welche mit den Pedalen in einer Form verbunden sind.  To increase the resistance on the foot pedals of an ergometer, devices in the water use water brakes in the form of plates on the pedals or propellers with adjustable wings, which are connected to the pedals in a mold.
Klappbare Ergometer und Hometrainer sind bekannt und auch in Patenten festgehalten, wie beispielhaft im Patent US 5,071 ,1 17, US 4,632,386 oder Ergometer mit einem zusätzlichen Modus im Patent US 4,602,781 . Darstellung der Erfindung Folding ergometers and home exercisers are known and also noted in patents, as exemplified in US Pat. Nos. 5,071,117, 4,632,386, or ergometer with an additional mode in US Pat. No. 4,602,781. Presentation of the invention
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, in einem Schwimmbad ein Ergometer permanent im Wasser zu belassen, welches insbesondere klappbar ist und bei Nichtgebrauch gegebenenfalls in ein Klappgehäuse untergebracht wird, nach dem Oberbegriff des ersten Anspruches. The invention has for its object to leave in a swimming pool an ergometer permanently in the water, which in particular is hinged and, if necessary, is housed in a folding housing when not in use, according to the preamble of the first claim.
Die Nutzung von Ergometer (Fahrradgestell mit Tretkurbel) in einem Schwimmbad haben handfeste Vorteile gegenüber einer Verwendung an Land, wie z.B. Schonung der Gelenke oder höherer Kalorienverbrauch pro Zeiteinheit. Der Tretwiderstand wird in einem Schwimmbad mittels Wasserbremsen erzeugt, an Land mittels Wirbelstrombremse, Magnete, Bremsbänder und anderem. In einem Schwimmbad müssen die Sportgeräte nach Gebrauch aber über den Schwimmbadrand gehoben werden und können so das Gerät beschädigen, aber auch der Rand des Schwimmbades kann in Mitleidenschaft gezogen werden. Im Weiteren sind solche Sportgeräte oft über 25 kg schwer, welches in gewissen Ländern zu Versicherungsproblemen bei den angestellten Poolbetreuern führen kann, aber auch sonst, kann das unsachgemässe Hochheben eines derartiges Gerätes aus dem Wasser zu Verletzungen an der Wirbelsäule oder zu Muskelschmerzen führen. Das weitere Dilemma ist, wohin mit dem Sportgerät danach. Auch sollte dieses nach Gebrauch mit viel Frischwasser gereinigt werden, denn Chlorwasser reagiert mit Sauerstoff auf dem Chromstahl und führt zu Korrosion, welches sich bald durch unschöne Roststreifen und Flecken sichtbar ist. The use of ergometers (bicycle frame with pedal crank) in a swimming pool has tangible advantages over land use, e.g. Protection of the joints or higher calorie consumption per unit time. The pedaling resistance is generated in a swimming pool by means of water braking, on land by means of eddy current brake, magnets, brake bands and other. In a swimming pool, however, the sports equipment must be lifted over the edge of the swimming pool after use and may thus damage the appliance, but the edge of the swimming pool can also be affected. Furthermore, such sports equipment are often over 25 kg heavy, which can lead to insurance problems in some countries in the pool staff, but also otherwise, the improper lifting of such a device out of the water can lead to spinal injuries or muscle pain. The other dilemma is where to go with the sports equipment afterwards. Also, this should be cleaned after use with plenty of fresh water, because chlorine water reacts with oxygen on the chrome steel and leads to corrosion, which is soon visible through unsightly rust streaks and stains.
Ein Ergometer oder ein Liegeergometer oder ein Handkurbelergometer sind äusserst stabile Geräte, weil daran oft hohe Kräfte oder hohe Tretgeschwindigkeiten auf die Pedale wirken und evtl. auch von Personen genutzt werden, welche ein hohes Körpergewicht aufweisen. An ergometer or a recumbent ergometer or a hand crank ergometer are extremely sturdy devices because they often have high forces or high pedaling speeds on the pedals and may also be used by people who have a high body weight.
Die Erfindung löst diese obgenannten Probleme, wie z.B. bezüglich Wirbelsäulenbelastung und Korrosion am Gerät, indem das Ergometer permanent im Wasser des Schwimmbades verbleibt, somit nicht immer wieder in- und aus dem Wasser gehoben wird und solange der Chromstahl des Sportgerätes nicht massiv mit Sauerstoff in Kontakt kommt, bleibt das Gerät vor Korrosion verschont. Um Platz zu sparen lässt sich das Ergometer zudem leicht und schnell zusammenklappen. Im Weiteren wird das Verbleiben des Sportgerätes im Wasser mittels eines Klappgehäuse gelöst, indem dieses als Abdeckhülle die Schwimmer vor dem Kontakt mit den Teilen wie Lenker, Pedale usw an einem solchen Sportgerät abschirmt, zugleich als Trägermittel, d.h. Fundament für das Sportgerät dient und mittels eines Scharniers an der Wand des Schwimmbades platziert wird. Damit ist ein im Klappgehäuse angebrachtes Ergometer jederzeit einsatzbereit, indem nur das Klappgehäuse heruntergeklappt oder hochgeklappt oder seitlich geöffnet zu werden braucht, ohne das Sportgerät schwer zu heben oder nach Gebrauch einen Ort für die Verstauung zu suchen, resp. das Gerät zum Verwahrungsort transportieren zu müssen. Der Kraftaufwand für das Heben und Senken des Klappgehäuses wird mittels Schwimmkörper im Wasser oder Gasfedern an Land entsprechend verringert. The invention solves these aforementioned problems, such as spinal loading and corrosion on the device by the ergometer permanently in the water of the swimming pool remains, thus not always in and out of the water is lifted and as long as the chromium steel of the sports equipment is not massively in contact with oxygen comes, the device is protected from corrosion. To save space, the ergometer can also be easily and quickly folded. Furthermore, the whereabouts of the sports equipment in the water by means of a folding housing is solved by this shields the cover as the cover before the contact with the parts such as handlebars, pedals, etc. on such a sports equipment, at the same time as a support means, ie foundation for the sports equipment and by means of a Hinge is placed on the wall of the swimming pool. This is a mounted in the folding housing Ergometer ready for use at any time by just folded down the folding housing or folded up or needs to be opened laterally, without the sports equipment difficult to lift or to look for a place for the stowage after use, respectively. to transport the device to the repository. The force required for lifting and lowering the folding housing is correspondingly reduced by floating bodies in the water or gas springs on land.
Im Weiteren sind solche stabile Ergometer oder Liegeergometer oder Handkurbelergometer teuer, insbesondere die, welche im Wasser genutzt werden, da diese aus hochwertigem Chromstahl gefertigt und auch entsprechend gepflegt werden müssen. Die Erfindung kombiniert diese diversen Aufgaben in einem einzigen Gerät, welches Geld und Platz spart, ohne Abstriche an Komfort oder im Bereich der Sport- und Therapienutzung hinnehmen zu müssen. Furthermore, such sturdy ergometers or recumbent ergometers or manual cycle ergometers are expensive, especially those that are used in the water, since they are made of high quality chrome steel and must be maintained accordingly. The invention combines these various tasks in a single device, which saves money and space, without sacrificing comfort or in the field of sports and therapy use.
Selbstverständlich kann das klappbare Ergometer auch an Land in einem Studio oder Zuhause eingesetzt werden und aufgrund des einfachen und effizienten Zusammenklappens des Gerätes am Drehpunkt der Fusskurbelwelle, mit wenig Platzbedarf an die Wand oder in einen Schrank oder unter ein Bett versorgt werden.  Of course, the folding ergometer can also be used on land in a studio or home and be supplied due to the simple and efficient folding of the device at the pivot point of the crankshaft, with little space on the wall or in a closet or under a bed.
Das Ergometer ist so ausgelegt, dass es mit verschiedenen Bremssystemen ausgerüstet werden kann und lässt sich zugleich auch als Liege-Ergometer verwenden, sowie als The ergometer is designed so that it can be equipped with various braking systems and can also be used as a recumbent ergometer, as well as
Handkurbelergometer nutzen. Use hand crank ergometer.
Erfindungsgemäss wird dies durch die Merkmale des ersten Anspruchs erreicht. According to the invention, this is achieved by the features of the first claim.
Kern der Erfindung ist. mittels eines Klappgehäuses sicher und einfach ein Ergometer aus- klappen zu lassen und damit mit dem Training sofort beginnen zu können, in Form eines normalen Ergometers oder als Liegeergometer oder Handkurbelergometers. Danach lässt sich das Sportgerät wieder zuklappen, evtl. in das Klappgehäuse einbringen und so mit geringem Kraftaufwand an eine Wand hochklappen und dort sichern oder an eine andere Stelle versorgen, und bei Bedarf für Dritte unsichtbar machen. Core of the invention. Using a folding housing to safely and easily fold out an ergometer and start training right away, in the form of a normal ergometer or as a recumbent or hand-crank ergometer. Thereafter, the sports equipment can be closed again, possibly bring in the folding housing and fold up with little effort on a wall and secure there or to another location, and make invisible to third parties if necessary.

Weg zur Ausführung der Erfindung Way to carry out the invention
Fig. 1 zeigt eine schematische Seitenansicht eines klappbaren Ergometers 1 mit einem Fig. 1 shows a schematic side view of a folding ergometer 1 with a
schwenkbaren Standfussausleger 2a mit einem Bodengelenk 3 und gegenüberliegend ein Drehgestell 4, welches einerseits den zweiten Standfussausleger 2b drehbar gelagert hält und anderseits am Drehgestell 4 die Fusskurbel 5 angebracht ist, an welche die Bremse 6 angreift, als auch am Drehgestell 4 der Hauptträger 7 gelagert ist, welche an seinem anderen Ende verstellbare Handgriffe 8, Aufnahme eines Displays 9 aufweist, einen Auftriebskörper 10 trägt, sowie an diesem auch der Schwenk- mechanismus 11 für das klapp- und verstellbare Sitzrohr 12 mit daran befestigtem pivotable Standfussausleger 2a with a bottom joint 3 and opposite a bogie 4, on the one hand the second Standfussausleger 2b rotatably supported and on the other hand on the bogie 4, the crank handle 5 is attached to which the brake 6 acts as well as the bogie 4 of the main carrier 7 is mounted , which at its other end adjustable handles 8, receiving a display 9, a buoyancy body 10 carries, as well as on this and the pivoting mechanism 11 for the folding and adjustable seat tube 12 with attached thereto
Sattel 13 angebracht ist, ein Seil 14, sowie ein Klappgehäuse 15, bestehend aus dem Wandblech 15a und dem Bodenblech 15b und der Verriegelung 16. Saddle 13 is mounted, a cable 14, and a folding housing 15, consisting of the wall plate 15 a and the bottom plate 15 b and the latch sixteenth
Normalerweise werden Klappfahrräder seitlich zusammengeklappt, indem am Normally folding bicycles are folded sideways by the am
Hauptträger ein Scharnier angebracht ist, oder bei Ergometern in Form eines grossen Main carrier is attached to a hinge, or ergometers in the form of a large
X, mittig ein Drehlager angebracht ist und geklappt das X etwas schmaler wird, ähnlich wie bei einem zusammenlegbaren Bügelbrett. Die hier aufgezeigte Lösung weist einen äusserst kompakten Klappmechanismus, mittels eines Klappzentrums Z an der Fusskurbel 5, auf. Am Klappzentrum Z, welches eine multifunktionale Dreh- lagerung darstellt mit dem Drehgestell 4, entfalten sich einerseits die Standfussausleger 2a, 2b und anderseits der Hauptträger 7. Das Klappzentrum Z kann über, unter, neben oder idealerweise zugleich auch die Fusskurbel 5 im Zentrum beinhalten. X, a pivot bearing is mounted in the middle and folded the X is a little narrower, similar to a collapsible ironing board. The solution shown here has an extremely compact folding mechanism, by means of a folding center Z on the crank arm 5, on. At the folding center Z, which is a multi-functional rotary bearing with the bogie 4, on the one hand unfolds the Standfussausleger 2a, 2b and on the other hand, the main carrier 7. The folding center Z can above, below, beside or ideally at the same time also include the foot crank 5 in the center.
Ist das Ergometer 1 auf dem Bodenblech 15b, welches ein Teil des Klappgehäuses 15 darstellt, mittels des Bodengelenks 3 drehgelagert fixiert, so kann z.B. das ErgometerIf the ergometer 1 is fixed rotatably on the floor panel 15b, which is a part of the folding housing 15, by means of the floor joint 3, then e.g. the ergometer
1 mittels Öffnens der Verriegelung 16 und mittels der Gehäuselagerung 17 aus der vertikalen Stellung im Klappgehäuse 15 herausgeklappt werden und das Ergometer 1 horizontal gestellt werden. Ein hier nicht gezeigter Gasfederzylinder oder Schenkelfeder oder ähnliches, sorgt dafür, dass das Ausklappen angenehm leicht von statten geht oder das Bodenblech 15b weist einen Auftriebskörper auf, welches das Gewicht der klappenden Masse entsprechend verringert. Durch Ziehen am Handgriff 8 schräg nach oben, schwenkt der Standfussausleger 2a aus, zusammen mit dem Drehgestell 4 und damit auch der Fussauslenker 2b, weicher von einer optionalen Federdämpfung 18, die eine Gasfeder oder ein mechanisches Dämpfungsmittel sein kann, ent- sprechend abgefedert und sanft in die Endstellung am Boden B gelassen wird. Ein Anschlag 19 stellt sicher, dass der Hauptträger 7 gegenüber dem Standfussausleger 2b eine bestimmte Winkelstellung einnimmt, wobei mehrere Winkelstellungen bei Bedarf zu Verfügung stehen, wie z.B. von Stellung Sport bis zu einer fast aufrechten Position. Der Anschlag 19 kann ein Schnappelement aufweisen, sodass beim wieder Zuklappen des Ergometer 1 dieses zuerst wieder entsperrt werden muss. Danach wird das Sitzrohr 12 mit dem Sattel 13 nach hinten gekippt und mittels des Fixierelements 20 am Schwenkmechanismus in der gewünschten Winkelposition eingerastet und arretiert oder es befindet sich ein Seil 14 zwischen dem Hauptträger 7 und dem Sitzrohr 12, oder dem telekopierenden Teil des Sitzrohrs 12a. Das Seil 14 kann entsprechend verlängert oder verkürzt werden und damit lässt sich ebenfalls die Sitzwinkelposition des Sattels 13 zu den Fusskurbelpedalen 5a optimal justieren. Das Seil 14 kann eine Kette oder ein hochfestes Kunststoffseil sein, wie z.B. das hochwertige PE Material, bekannt unter der Marke Dyneema von der Fa. Royal DSM N.V. Damit steht das Ergometer 1 bereit für das Training. Der Sattel 13 kann entsprechend mittels des Spannmittels 21 in die gewünschte Höhenposition verstellt und arretiert werden, auch die Neigung des Sattels 13 lässt sich verstellen, ebenso die Handgriffe 8 am Hauptträger 7, sowie der Neigungswinkel für das Displays 9. Auf diese Weise kann ein Ergometer äusserst schnell bereitgestellt werden und sämtliche Körper- längenmasse und Körperstellungen mitberücksichtigen. An der Fusskurbel 5 befindet sich die Bremse 6, welche in der Praxis nicht einsehbar ist und mittels des Displays 9 angesteuert werden kann, resp. mittels eines Algorithmus, welcher gespeicherte Strassenrouten oder Fantasiewasserrouten und dergleichen auf dem Rechner aufweist und die Bremse 6 entsprechend der Topographie in der Software somit mehr oder weniger bremst. Oder es kann mittels eines Bowdenzugs auf die Bremsfunktion entsprechend mechanisch eingewirkt werden. Ist die Bremse 6 ein Generator - im Wasser in einem wasserdichten Gehäuse verpackt - so wird die entstehende 1 are opened by opening the latch 16 and by means of the housing mounting 17 from the vertical position in the folding housing 15 and the ergometer 1 are placed horizontally. A gas spring cylinder or leg spring or the like, not shown here, ensures that unfolding is pleasantly easy, or the floor panel 15b has a buoyancy body which correspondingly reduces the weight of the folding mass. By pulling on the handle 8 obliquely upward, the Standfussausleger 2a pivots out, along with the bogie 4 and thus also the Fußauslenker 2b softer of an optional spring damping 18, which may be a gas spring or a mechanical damping means, cushioned and gently is left in the end position on the bottom B. One Stop 19 ensures that the main carrier 7 opposite the Standfussausleger 2b occupies a certain angular position, with several angular positions are available when needed, such as from position sports to an almost upright position. The stop 19 may have a snap element, so that when you close the ergometer 1 this first must be unlocked again. Thereafter, the seat tube 12 is tilted with the saddle 13 to the rear and locked and locked by the fixing member 20 on the pivot mechanism in the desired angular position or there is a rope 14 between the main carrier 7 and the seat tube 12, or the telekopierenden part of the seat tube 12a. The cable 14 can be extended or shortened accordingly and thus can also adjust the seat angle position of the saddle 13 to the foot pedal 5a optimally. The rope 14 may be a chain or a high-strength plastic rope, such as the high-quality PE material, known under the brand Dyneema from the Royal DSM NV Thus, the ergometer 1 is ready for training. The saddle 13 can be adjusted and locked accordingly by means of the clamping means 21 in the desired height position, and the inclination of the saddle 13 can be adjusted, as well as the handles 8 on the main carrier 7, and the inclination angle for the display 9. In this way, an ergometer provided extremely fast and take into account all body length mass and body positions. At the Fußkurbel 5 is the brake 6, which is not visible in practice and can be controlled by the display 9, respectively. by means of an algorithm which has stored road routes or fantasy water routes and the like on the computer and the brake 6 thus brakes more or less according to the topography in the software. Or it can be acted upon mechanically by means of a Bowden cable on the brake function. If the brake 6 is a generator - packaged in water in a watertight housing - so will the resulting
Stromenergie für die Aktivierung des Displays und des Rechners und Akkuladung genutzt, die Restenergie wird in einer Diode oder in einem Erhitzer vernichtet. Mit einem solchen Generator kann auch die Fusskurbel 5 angetrieben werden und ist somit ideal für die Rehabilitation von Patienten. Ist mehr Energie nötig, so kann auch eine Batterie/Akku oder eine Stromleitung mit 24/12 V Gleichstrom entsprechende Unterstützung leisten. Electricity used for the activation of the display and the computer and battery charge, the residual energy is destroyed in a diode or in a heater. With such a generator, the foot crank 5 can be driven and is thus ideal for the rehabilitation of patients. If more energy is required, a battery / rechargeable battery or 24/12 V DC power line can provide adequate support.
Im Weiteren befindet sich am Hauptträger 7 ein Auftriebskörper 10, welcher dafür sorgt, dass dieser leicht zu heben und beim wieder Versorgen nicht zu schnell nach unten klappt. Die Auftriebskörper 10 ersetzen Gasfedern, welche in einem Schwimm- bad zusammen mit der Chemie, insbesondere Chlor, möglicherweise zu Korrosionsproblemen führen könnten. In addition, there is a buoyancy body 10 on the main carrier 7, which ensures that it is easy to lift and does not work too fast down again. The buoyancy bodies 10 replace gas springs, which are in a floating Bad together with the chemistry, especially chlorine, could possibly lead to corrosion problems.
Bildlich nicht gezeigt, kann sich zwischen dem Ergometer 1 und dem Bodenblech 15a eine verstellbare Konsole befinden, z.B. in Form eines Scherenlifts oder eines Not shown pictorially, an adjustable console may be located between the ergometer 1 and the floor panel 15a, e.g. in the form of a scissor lift or a
Parallelogramms, sodass das Ergometer 1 in einem Schwimmbad gegenüber der Wasserline höhenverstellbar ist und die Trainierenden genügend tief oder auch weniger tief im Wasser ihre Übungen absolvieren können.  Parallelogramms, so that the ergometer 1 in a swimming pool opposite the waterline is adjustable in height and the trainees can deep enough or less deep in the water to complete their exercises.
Eine moderate Höhenverstellung des Ergometers 1 ergibt sich auch schon, indem die Standfussausleger 2a, 2b zueinander sich in diversen Abständen verriegeln lassen, gemäss einer Arretierung 26 wie in in Fig. 2 beschrieben, aber hierzu mittels mehreren Arretierstellen. Sind die Standfussausleger 2a, 2b weit gespreizt, so ist die Gesamthöhe des Ergometers 1 niedriger als wenn die Standfussausleger 2a.2b zueinander wenig gespreizt sind. A moderate height adjustment of the ergometer 1 results already, by the stand base arms 2a, 2b can be locked to each other at various intervals, according to a lock 26 as described in Fig. 2, but this by means of a plurality of locking points. Are the Standfussausleger 2a, 2b spread wide, the total height of the ergometer 1 is lower than when the Standfussausleger 2a.2b are spread to each other little.
Fig. 2 zeigt eine schematische Seitenansicht eines klappbaren Ergometers 1 mit schwenkbarem Fussträger 2a, 2b, Bodengelenk 3, Drehgestell 4, Fusskurbel 5, einem verstellbaren Sattel 13 mit Rückenlehne 24, verstellbare Handgriffe 8, ein Handkurbeltrieb 23, sowie ein Klappgehäuse15 mit Verriegelung 16. 2 shows a schematic side view of a foldable ergometer 1 with a pivotable fuseholder 2a, 2b, bottom joint 3, bogie 4, crank 5, an adjustable saddle 13 with backrest 24, adjustable handles 8, a hand crank drive 23, and a folding housing 15 with locking 16.
Ein weiterer Vorteil dieser Konstruktion ist, nebst dem einfachen Einbau eines Another advantage of this construction is, in addition to the simple installation of a
Generators 22 am Drehgestell, welcher einfach und preisgünstig gegen Wassereintritt gedichtet werden kann, indem am wasserdichten Generatorgehäuse 22a nur gerade die Generatorwelle herausragt und mittels eines O-Ring-Pakets, welches heute bei Propellerwellen an Schiffsantrieben den Stand der Technik darstellt, somit verlässlich vor Wassereindrang in den Generator 22 schützt. Die Generatorwelle ist mit der Fusskurbel 5 verbunden.  Generator 22 on the bogie, which can be sealed easily and inexpensively against ingress of water by the generator shaft protruding from the waterproof generator housing 22a and thus by means of an O-ring package, which represents the state of the art in propeller shafts on marine propulsion, thus reliably against water intrusion in the generator 22 protects. The generator shaft is connected to the crank arm 5.
Das Ergometer 1 ist zudem multifunktional, indem das Sitzrohr 12 so weit nach unten in die Liege-Ergometerposition Q geklappt werden kann, sodass es letztlich zu einem Liegeergometer wird. Hinzu kommt noch eine Rückenlehne 24. evtl. ein breiterer Sattel 13 und Seitengriffe 25, sodass die sitzende Person sich bequem und optimal am Ergometer 1 festhalten kann. Um ein Kippen des Ergometers 1 nach hinten zu verhindern, ist der Standfussausleger 2b mit dem Bodenbiech 15b mittels einer Arretierung 26 gesichert oder das Bodengelenk 3 wird blockiert. Denkbar ist auch, dass der Standfussausleger 2b in einer Schienenführung 27 gehalten ist und damit immer automatisch geführt und gehalten ist. The ergometer 1 is also multifunctional in that the seat tube 12 can be folded so far down into the recumbent ergometer position Q, so that it ultimately becomes a recumbent ergometer. In addition, there is a backrest 24 possibly a wider saddle 13 and side handles 25, so that the seated person can comfortably and optimally hold the ergometer 1. To prevent tilting of the ergometer 1 to the rear, the Standfussausleger 2b with the Bodenbiech 15b by means of a Lock 26 secured or the bottom joint 3 is blocked. It is also conceivable that the Standfussausleger 2b is held in a rail guide 27 and thus always automatically guided and held.
Die einfache und preisgünstige Konstruktion, welche z.B. mittels gelaserten und abgekanteten Blechteilen zumindest des Hauptträgers 7 und der Standfussausleger The simple and inexpensive construction, which e.g. by means of lasered and folded sheet metal parts, at least of the main carrier 7 and the Standfussausleger
2a herstellbar ist und zugleich viel Platz für zusätzliche technischen Mittel bei hoher Steifigkeit der Komponenten erlaubt, lässt sich am Hauptträger 7 damit auch ein Handkurbeltrieb 23 anbringen, welcher mittels eines Antriebsriemens 28 mit dem Generator 22 zugeschaltet werden kann. Der Handkurbeltrieb 23 ist z.B. steckbar und zugleich kann der Antriebsriemen 28 z.B. über einen schaltbaren Doppelkonus gespannt werden und damit ist der Trainingsmodus aktiviert, bei Nichtgebrauch kann der Handkurbeltrieb 23 wieder deaktiviert oder abgenommen werden. Im Handkurbelmodus kann die Fusskurbel 5 deaktiviert werden oder mittels eines Freilaufs inaktiv sein. 2a can be produced and at the same time allows a lot of space for additional technical means with high rigidity of the components, can be attached to the main carrier 7 so that a hand crank drive 23, which can be switched by means of a drive belt 28 to the generator 22. The hand crank drive 23 is e.g. pluggable and at the same time the drive belt 28, e.g. be stretched over a switchable double cone and thus the training mode is activated, when not in use, the hand crank drive 23 can be disabled or removed again. In crank mode, the crank arm 5 can be deactivated or be inactive by means of a freewheel.
Denkbar ist eine Variante, indem der Handkurbeltrieb 23 an einem drehgelagerten Conceivable is a variant by the hand crank drive 23 on a rotatably mounted
Gestänge angebracht ist, welches aus dem Hauptträger 7 oder am Sitzrohr 12 herausgeklappt wird und am Handkurbeltrieb 23 ein separater Kleingenerator gekoppelt ist. Denkbar ist auch, dass der im Hauptträger 7 integrierte Handkurbeltrieb 23 einen eigenen Generator antreibt. Der Generator kann in allen Fällen auch nur eine Bremse darstellen, ohne nutzbaren Strom zu erzeugen, sondern„nur" Wärme. Linkage is mounted, which is folded out of the main support 7 or on the seat tube 12 and the hand crank drive 23, a separate small generator is coupled. It is also conceivable that the integrated in the main carrier 7 hand crank drive 23 drives its own generator. The generator can in all cases represent only one brake, without generating usable electricity, but "only" heat.
Nicht gezeigt ist, dass das Ergometer 1 auch über eine oder mehrere Schwungmassen verfügen kann, welche z. B. mit der Fusskurbel 5 direkt verbunden sind oder über einen Freilauf verfügen. Dasselbe gilt auch für den Handkurbelantrieb 23. It is not shown that the ergometer 1 may also have one or more flywheel masses, which z. B. are directly connected to the crank 5 or have a freewheel. The same applies to the hand crank drive 23.
Fig. 3 zeigt eine schematische Seitenansicht eines Klappgehäuses 15 an der Wand W mit dem darin eingeklappten Ergometer 1 , sowie dem Rad 30. 3 shows a schematic side view of a folding housing 15 on the wall W with the ergometer 1 folded therein, and the wheel 30.
Das Ausklappen des Ergometers 1 ist in Fig. 1 beschrieben, somit ist das Zuklappen in der entgegengesetzten Reihenfolge zu tätigen. Nach dem einfachen Zuklappen lässt sich die Bodenplatte 15b hochschwenken, unterstützt im terrestrischen Bereich von Gasfedern oder Schenkelfedern oder anderen mechanischen Hilfen, im Wasser durch simple Auftriebskörper am Bodenblech 15b zuzüglich dem Auftriebskörper 10 am Hauptträger 7. Für die Entriegelung der Arretierung 26 wie in Fig 2 gezeigt, kann daran zusätzlich ein Seil mit einem schwimmfähigen Griff angebracht werden, sodass nach dem Training nur am Seil, welches sich an der Wasseroberfläche befindet, gezogen werden muss, um die Arretierung 26 zu lösen. Die Grösse des Klappgehäuses 15 hängt davon ab, ob nur die schlanke Version mit dem schlanken Sattel 13 oder die grosszügigere Version mit der Rückenlehne 24 wie in Fig.2 aufgezeigt, in den Klappvorgang hineinpassen muss, sodass das Ergometer 1 vollumfänglich versorgt ist. The unfolding of the ergometer 1 is described in Fig. 1, thus the folding is to be made in the opposite order. After the simple closing, the bottom plate 15b can swing upwards, supported in the terrestrial region by gas springs or torsion springs or other mechanical aids, in the water by simple buoyancy bodies on the bottom plate 15b plus the buoyant body 10 on the main carrier 7. For the unlocking of the lock 26 as in FIG In addition, a rope with a buoyant handle can be attached to it, so that after training only on the rope, which is located on the water surface. must be pulled to release the lock 26. The size of the folding housing 15 depends on whether only the slim version with the slender saddle 13 or the more generous version with the backrest 24 as shown in Figure 2, must fit into the folding process, so that the ergometer 1 is fully supplied.
Ein Stauraum 29 erlaubt auch das Versorgen von sperrigem Zubehör, wie z.B. ein breiter Sattel, die Rückenlehne 24, Handkurbeltrieb 23 wie in Fig.2 aufgezeigt u.v.m. Das Klappgehäuse 15 ist zudem von einer gegebenen Wand lösbar und mittels Rädern 30 an jeden beliebigen Ort verschiebbar.  A storage space 29 also allows for the supply of bulky accessories, e.g. a wide saddle, the backrest 24, hand crank 23 as shown in Fig.2 u.v.m. The folding housing 15 is also detachable from a given wall and displaceable by means of wheels 30 to any location.
Selbstverständlich ist die Erfindung nicht nur auf die gezeigten und beschriebenen Of course, the invention is not limited to those shown and described
