Gymnastic machine

Abstract

A gymnastic machine comprising a frame ( 2 ), at least a motor ( 3 ) connected to the frame ( 2 ) to move at least an exercise interface ( 4 ) suitable to interact with a user for the execution of a cardiovascular exercise, at least a control panel ( 5 ) comprising control devices ( 6 ), which can be chosen by a user and are associated with the motor ( 3 ) so as to actuate the movement of the exercise interface ( 4 ) to start the physical exercise, characterised in that the control panel ( 5 ) can be blocked so as to bring the gymnastic machine from a training configuration, wherein it is possible to actuate the movement of the exercise interface ( 4 ) through the respective control devices ( 6 ), to a safety configuration, wherein any selection of the respective control devices ( 6 ) does not actuate the movement of the exercise interface ( 4 ).

1 . Gymnastic machine comprising:
 a frame;   at least a motor connected to the frame for movement of at least an exercise interface suitable to interact with a user for performing a physical exercise;   at least a control panel provided with actuating means, comprising a plurality of commands, which can be selected by a user and are associated with the motor to actuate the movement of the exercise interface in order to start the physical exercise;   wherein the control panel is selectively lockable by manually operating the actuating means in a given manner, in order to bring the gymnastic machine from a training configuration, wherein it is possible to actuate the movement of the exercise interface through the actuating means to a safety configuration, wherein a selection of the actuating means does not actuate the movement of the exercise interface.   
   
   
       2 . The gymnastic machine according to  claim 1 , wherein the control panel can be manually locked by pressing at least two given commands in a rapid succession or in a substantially simultaneous manner. 
   
   
       3 . The gymnastic machine according to  claim 1 , wherein the control panel can be manually locked by pressing a preset sequence of at least two given commands which define a security code. 
   
   
       4 . The gymnastic machine according to  claim 1 , wherein the control panel can be manually locked in a selective manner through the continuous pressure, for a given time period, of at least a given command. 
   
   
       5 . The gymnastic machine according to  claim 1 , wherein at least a control unit programmable is provided in order to send to the motor control signals coming from the actuating means; the control unit being suitable to stop the transmission of control signals to the motor in the safety configuration. 
   
   
       6 . The gymnastic machine according to  claim 1 , wherein the control panel is suitable automatically to lock when the exercise interface is immobile and when the actuating means are not selected by the user for a preset time interval, in such a way so as to bring the gymnastic machine in a safety configuration wherein a selection of the actuating means does not actuate the movement of the exercise interface. 
   
   
       7 . The gymnastic machine according to  claim 1 , wherein the control panel can be manually unlocked in a selective manner through the continuous pressure, for a given time period, of at least a command, preset by the user, in such a way so as to bring the gymnastic machine in a training configuration, wherein it is possible to actuate the movement of the exercise interface through the actuating means. 
   
   
       8 . The gymnastic machine according to  claim 1 , wherein the control panel can be manually unlocked in a selective manner by pressing at least two given commands in a rapid succession or in a substantially simultaneous manner, in such a way so as to bring the gymnastic machine in a training configuration, wherein it is possible to actuate the movement of the exercise interface through the actuating means. 
   
   
       9 . The gymnastic machine according to  claim 1 , wherein the control panel can be manually unlocked in a selective manner by pressing a preset sequence of at least two given commands, defining a security code, in such a way so as to bring the gymnastic machine in a training configuration, wherein it is possible to actuate the movement of the exercise interface through the actuating means. 
   
   
       10 . The gymnastic machine according to  claim 1 , wherein the control panel comprises display means to display the operational parameters of the gymnastic machine during the cardiovascular training in the training configuration and to display a respective safety status when the gymnastic machine is in the safety configuration. 
   
   
       11 . The gymnastic machine according to  claim 1 , wherein the control panel is of the button type and in that each command comprises a respective button. 
   
   
       12 . The gymnastic machine according to  claim 1 , wherein the control panel is of the touch-screen type and in that each command comprise a respective delimited and selectable area of the control panel. 
   
   
       13 . The gymnastic machine according to  claim 1 , wherein characterised in that the exercise interface comprises an exercise surface actuated, in use, by the motor.
