Abstract
Athletic, and more particularly gymnastic, training apparatus and methods are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a pommel portion of a pommel horse training apparatus, the pommel portion including a plurality of elongate pommel segments. A first pommel segment from the plurality of elongate pommel segments is coupled to a second pommel segment from the plurality of elongate pommel segments. A centerline of the first pommel segment is non-parallel to a centerline of the second pommel segment. The centerline of the first pommel segment is coplanar with the centerline of the second pommel segment.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- a pommel portion to be included in a pommel horse training apparatus, the pommel portion configured for a user to execute a pommel horse gymnastic routine thereon, the pommel portion including a plurality of pommel segments, a support member and a plurality of support posts,
- the plurality of pommel segments being coupled together to form a closed polygonal shape having an open center, each pommel segment from the plurality of pommel segments being elongate and having a centerline that is substantially coplanar with and non-parallel to a centerline of an adjacent pommel segment from the plurality of pommel segments,
- the support member having an upper surface and a lower surface, the upper surface being substantially planar from a first side of the pommel portion to a second side of the pommel portion opposite the first side of the pommel portion, the lower surface of the support member configured to be disposed on a base portion and configured to be coupled to the base portion,
- the plurality of support posts coupling the plurality of pommel segments to the support member such that the plurality of pommel segments are is spaced apart from the upper surface of the support member.
1 more element
An apparatus, comprising:
- a pommel portion including a plurality of pommel segments and a plurality of support posts coupled to the plurality of pommel segments, the pommel portion configured for a user to execute a pommel horse gymnastic maneuver thereon, the plurality of pommel segments being linearly arranged on a substantially common geometric plane, each pommel segment from the plurality of pommel segments being elongate and having a substantially cylindrical body portion between a first end portion and a second end portion thereof, the plurality of pommel segments being coupled together to form a closed polygonal shape having an open center, the plurality of support posts being substantially orthogonal to the substantially common geometric plane;
- and
- a base portion, the pommel portion disposed on top of and coupled to the base portion, the base portion including a plurality of sidewalls, each sidewall from the plurality of sidewalls coupled on a first side thereof to a side of a first adjacent sidewall and coupled on a second side thereof, opposite to the first side, to a side of a second adjacent sidewall, each sidewall from the plurality of sidewalls having a planar outer surface that is non-parallel and non-perpendicular to the substantially common geometric plane.
A gymnastic training apparatus, comprising:
- a pommel portion including a plurality of pommel segments, a plurality of posts, and a support member, the plurality of pommel segments forming a geometric shape that is closed, each pommel segment from the plurality of pommel segments having a centerline disposed substantially on a geometric plane, the plurality of posts coupled to the plurality of pommel segments so that each post from the plurality of posts is substantially orthogonal to the centerline of each pommel segment from the plurality of pommel segments, the plurality of posts coupled to the support member so that each post from the plurality of posts is substantially orthogonal to a horizontal plane of an upper surface of the support member, an outer perimeter of the support member, from a top view, having the geometric shape, the plurality of pommel segments having an inner perimeter defining an opening within the closed geometric shape that is continuous across the geometric plane;
- and
- a base portion coupled to the pommel portion, the base portion including a plurality of sidewalls, each sidewall from the plurality of sidewalls having a flat outer surface that is non-perpendicular to the geometric plane, the plurality of sidewalls being coupled together so that a lower end portion of the base portion has a maximum width that is greater than a maximum width of an upper end portion of the base portion.
