Fitness apparatus

Abstract

A fitness apparatus comprising a horizontal floor part ( 4 ) provided with one or more bearers ( 6 ), by which hands or feet can be supported during training, at least one vertical end part ( 1 ) provided with one or more bearers ( 3 ), by which hands or feet can be supported during training, and a horizontal ceiling part ( 19 ) parallel to the floor part ( 4 ), placed above the floor part ( 4 ) and provided with one or more bearers ( 21 ), from which handles and other means used in the training can be suspended at varying distances. The floor part ( 4 ), the end part ( 1 ) and the ceiling part ( 19 ) are arranged with respect to each other so that a person in a substantially upright position fits, in the height direction of the fitness apparatus, inside the space defined by the floor part ( 4 ), the end part ( 1 ) and the ceiling part ( 19 ) to perform training exercises.

1 . A fitness apparatus, characterized in that it comprises a horizontal floor part ( 4 ) provided with one or more bearers ( 6 ), by which hands or feet can be supported during training, at least one vertical end part ( 1 ) provided with one or more bearers ( 3 ), by which hands or feet can be supported during training, and a horizontal ceiling part ( 19 ) parallel to the floor part ( 4 ), placed above the floor part ( 4 ) and provided with one or more bearers ( 21 ), from which handles and other means used in the training can be suspended at varying distances, and which floor part ( 4 ), end part ( 1 ) and ceiling part ( 19 ) are arranged with respect to each other so that a person in a substantially upright position fits, in the height direction of the fitness apparatus, inside the space defined by the floor part ( 4 ), the end part ( 1 ) and the ceiling part ( 19 ) to perform training exercises.  
     
     
         2 . A fitness apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein either the bearer ( 21  ) of the ceiling part ( 19 ) or the bearer ( 6 ) of the floor part ( 4 ) or both are movable along this part to support hands or feet at varying points in the longitudinal direction of the part.  
     
     
         3 . A fitness apparatus as claimed in  claim 1  or  2 , wherein the bearer ( 21 ) of the ceiling part ( 19 ) is arranged to extend in the width direction of the fitness apparatus outside the space defined by the floor part ( 4 ), end part ( 1 ) and the ceiling part ( 19 ) to suspend handles, rings or other means to be used in the training outside said space in the width direction of the fitness apparatus.  
     
     
         4 . A fitness apparatus as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, wherein it comprises two vertical end parts ( 1 ) which are placed at a distance from each other and between which the ceiling part ( 19 ) and the floor part ( 4 ) are attached, whereby they form a rigid frame-like structure, which can be placed on the floor of a room.  
     
     
         5 . A fitness apparatus as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein substantially horizontal parallel bars ( 14 ), the height, inclination and distance of which are adjustable, are attached between the end parts ( 1 ).  
     
     
         6 . A fitness apparatus as claimed in any one of  claims 1  to  3 , wherein its ceiling part ( 19 ) is separate and attachable to the ceiling of the room, the end part ( 1 ) is separate and attachable to the wall of the room, and the floor part ( 4 ) is attached to the end part ( 1 ) with a joint or attachable to the wall such that it is foldable against the wall for storage and lowerable to the floor of the room for use.  
     
     
         7 . A fitness apparatus as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, wherein its ceiling part ( 19 ) is also provided with one or more bearers ( 21 ), by which hands or feet can be supported during training at varying points in the longitudinal direction of this part.  
     
     
         8 . A fitness apparatus as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the bearer ( 21 ) can be moved by a person standing on the ground.  
     
     
         9 . A fitness apparatus provided with parallel bars, characterized in that it comprises two end parts ( 1 ) which are placed at a distance from each other and between which the parallel bars are attached, whereby the attachment of a parallel bar ( 14 ) is arranged to allow the adjustment of the height of the parallel bar ( 14 ), the adjustment of the distance between the parallel bars ( 14 ), whereby the distance is either increasing, decreasing or equally long, and the adjustment of the ends of the parallel bars ( 14 ) at different heights, whereby the parallel bar ( 14 ) can also be brought to an inclined position.  
     
     
         10 . A fitness apparatus as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein it also comprises a horizontal floor part ( 4 ) provided with one or more bearers ( 6 ), by which hands or feet can be supported at varying points in the longitudinal direction of this part during training and which is substantially parallel to the parallel bars ( 14 ), and at least one vertical end part ( 1 ) is provided with one or more bearers ( 3 ), by which hands or feet can be supported during training.  
     
     
         11 . A fitness apparatus as claimed in  claim 9  or  10 , wherein a space between the parallel bars can be accessed by a wheelchair and a person using the fitness apparatus via the end part ( 1 ).  
     
     
         12 . A fitness apparatus as claimed in any one of  claims 9  to  11 , wherein the attachment of the parallel bar ( 14 ) is arranged to allow the adjustment of the height of the parallel bar ( 14 ), the adjustment of the distance between the parallel bars ( 14 ), whereby the distance is either increasing, decreasing or equally long, and the adjustment of the ends of the parallel bars ( 14 ) at different heights, whereby the parallel bar ( 14 ) can also be brought to an inclined position.
