Claims45
A physical exercise apparatus for recreational, rehabilitative, gymnastic or sports purposes, characterised in that it comprises at least one mobile part (2) and at least one support part (4), interacting with one another by means of field forces generated by a magnetic field located between them.
The apparatus according to any of the foregoing claims, characterised in that the part (2) and the corresponding support part (4) exchange a magnetic action of reciprocal attraction.
The apparatus according to any of the foregoing claims from 1 to 21, characterised in that the part (2) and the corresponding support part (4) exchange a magnetic action of reciprocal repulsion.
The apparatus according to any of the foregoing claims, characterised in that it comprises at least one permanent magnet (3) for generating the magnetic field interacting between the part (2) and the corresponding support part (4).
The apparatus according to any of the foregoing claims, characterised in that it comprises at least one electromagnet for generating the magnetic field interacting between the part (2) and the corresponding support part (4).
The apparatus according to any of the foregoing claims, characterised in that it comprises at least one electro-permanent magnet for generating the magnetic field interacting between the part (2) and the corresponding support part (4).
The apparatus according to any of the claims from 25 to 27, characterised in that the magnet (3) is shaped and positioned in such a way as to maintain a position of equilibrium through a position control, the position being a preset position of the part (2) relative to the corresponding support part (4).
The apparatus according to any of the claims from 25 to 27, characterised in that the magnet (3) is shaped and positioned in such a way as to maintain a position of equilibrium through a preset relation between the position of the part (2) relative to the support part and a preset relation of force between the part (2) and the support part.
The apparatus according to any of the claims from 25 to 27, characterised in that the magnet is shaped and positioned in such a way as to maintain a position of equilibrium through a preset relation concerning the position of the part (2) relative to the support part (4), concerning a preset relation of force between the part (2) and the support part (4) and concerning the user's weight.
The apparatus according to any of the claims from 25 to 27, characterised in that the magnet (3) is shaped and positioned in such a way as to maintain a position of equilibrium through a preset relation of force between the part (2) and the support part (4).
The apparatus according to any of the foregoing claims, characterised in that at least the rigid part (2) or the support part (4) is made of a ferromagnetic material.
The apparatus according to any of the claims from 1 to 33, characterised in that at least the rigid part (2) or the support part (4) is made of a diamagnetic material and is fitted with at least one magnet (3).
The apparatus according to any of the claims from 35 to 37, characterised in that it comprises feedback control means that drive the electromagnet (3).
The apparatus according to any of the claims from 35 to 41, characterised in that it comprises stroke limiter means (48) designed to limit the extent of the movement of the mobile part (2) relative to the support part (4).
The apparatus according to any of the foregoing claims, characterised in that the magnetic field is stationary.
The apparatus according to any of the claims from 1 to 43, characterised in that the magnetic field is variable.
