Abstract
In a gymnastic apparatus, the actuator (22) is fitted in fixed angular position to a first shaft (16) to oscillate from initial to final position, normally maintained in initial position by a weight unit (8) and connected to the weight unit (8) by means of a driving device (33) provided with a cam (38) splined on a second shaft (34) transversal to the first shaft (16); two gears (37) are joined in angular position to the first and second shaft (16, 34), respectively.
Claims7
1) Gymnastic apparatus comprising an actuator device (14) provided with at least a first shaft (16) with first determined longitudinal axis (17) and at least a user-operated actuator (22) fitted to the first shaft (16) in fixed angular position during use to oscillate around the first axis (17) from initial to final position;
- a weight unit (8) used to normally maintain the actuator (22) in initial position;
- and driving means (33) used to connect the actuator device (14) and weight unit (8), comprising at least a second shaft (34) with second determined longitudinal axis (35) and at least a cam (38) joined in angular position to the second shaft (34);
- characterised in that the first and second axis (17, 35) are transversal;
- with driving means (33) comprising two gears (37) joined to the first and second shaft (16, 34), respectively.
4) Gymnastic apparatus as defined in any of the foregoing claims, in which the actuator (22) is fitted to the first shaft (16) with possibility of rotation;
- with a hooking element (27) being provided to block the actuator (22) to the first shaft (16) in angular position in order to selectively control the initial position.
7) Gymnastic apparatus as defined in any of the foregoing claims, in which the gymnastic apparatus is a leg extension apparatus.
