Portable gymnic machine and bag-container for its transport and utilization

Abstract

A portable exercise machine ( 1 ), for the execution of gymnastic and/or rehabilitation exercises through the extension of an elastic element, comprising: a base or platform ( 2 ) of small size, having a plan extension slightly greater than that of the area covered by the footprints of two feet, and that can be contained in a cabin briefcase, said base or platform ( 2 ) being usable to stabilize the machine by means of the weight or the thrust of the user; only one gripping element or handle ( 3 ) of cylindrical shape having a longitudinal length or first length suitable to allow a two handed grip; an elastic band ( 4 ) whose ends are respectively fixed to said base ( 2 ) and to said gripping element or handle ( 4 ), the width of said elastic band ( 4 ) being inferior to said first length of the handle ( 3 ) in order to leave two free zones on the two sides of the band when the same band is wound around the handle ( 3 ), the length of the portion of the elastic band used for an exercise being variable due to the winding of the same elastic band ( 4 ) around the element gripping or handle ( 3 ).

         2 . The machine of  claim 1 , wherein said base has an plan extension of about 40×40 cm (about 15×15 inch.) and said first length is less than a side of the base. 
     
     
         3 . The machine of  claim 1 , wherein said base has an plan extension of about 40×40 cm (about 15×15 inch.) and it has a thickness of about 3 cm (about 1.2 inch.). 
     
     
         4 . The machine of  claim 1 , wherein said base is provided with a pair of appendixes complementarily matchable with two corresponding slots presented by the element gripping or handle, so to allow the fixing of the same gripping element to the base, with the gripping element subject to the action of the reaction force of said elastic band rolled up on it. 
     
     
         5 . The machine of  claim 1 , wherein said base has an plan extension of about 40×40 cm (about 15×15 inch.) and said first length is less than a side of the base and wherein said base is provided with a pair of appendixes complementarily matchable with two corresponding slots presented by the element gripping or handle, so to allow the fixing of the same gripping element to the base, with the gripping element subject to the action of the reaction force of said elastic band rolled up on it. 
     
     
         6 . The machine of  claim 1 , wherein said handle is provided with reference marks suitable to allow the adjustment of the elastic reaction provided according to predetermined values, i.e. by the number of windings of the band all around to said gripping element. 
     
     
         7 . The machine of  claim 1 , wherein said elastic band is provided with reference marks suitable to allow the adjustment of the elastic reaction provided according to predetermined values, i.e. by the number of windings of the band all around to said gripping element. 
     
     
         8 . The machine of  claim 1 , wherein the gripping element or handle is provided with a device for sensing the three-dimensional motion, adapted to transmit a signal relating to the displacement carried out and usable for displaying on an electronic device the trajectory of the movement performed by the gripping element or handle. 
     
     
         9 . The machine of  claim 1 , wherein said base or platform forms the frame of a purse or backpack, said base being provided with a perforated portion defining a handle for the transport. 
     
     
         10 . The machine of  claim 1 , wherein said base or platform forms the frame of a purse or backpack, said base being provided with a perforated portion defining a handle for the transport, wherein said bag or rucksack is provided with a transparent pocket adapted to house an electronic device connected to said sensor to graphically display the exercise executed. 
     
     
         11 . The machine of  claim 1 , wherein said base or platform is provided with non-slip areas in the areas intended for the support of the feet of the user. 
     
     
         12 . A bag or container for the transport of an exercise machine, wherein said bag or container has a frame constituted by a base of an exercise machine, said exercise machine is a portable exercise machine, usable for the execution of gymnastic and/or rehabilitation exercises through the extension of an elastic element and comprising:
 said base, which is a base or platform of small size, adapted to be transportable in a cabin briefcase, said base or platform being usable to stabilize the machine by means of the weight or the thrust of the user;   a gripping element or handle of cylindrical shape;   an elastic band whose ends are respectively fixed to said base and to said gripping element or handle, the length of the portion of the elastic band used for an exercise being variable due to the winding of the same elastic band around the element gripping or handle.   
     
     
         13 . The bag of  claim 12 , wherein said handle is provided with a device for sensing the three-dimensional motion adapted to transmit a signal relating to the displacement carried out and usable for displaying on an electronic device the trajectory of the movement performed by the gripping element or handle. 
     
     
         14 . A set of elements for the execution of gymnastic and/or rehabilitation exercises through the extension of an elastic element, wherein it comprises:
 a portable exercise machine, for the execution of gymnastic and/or rehabilitation exercises through the extension of an elastic element, comprising: a base or platform of small size, adapted to be transportable in a cabin briefcase, said base or platform being usable to stabilize the machine by means of the weight or the thrust of the user; a gripping element or handle of cylindrical shape, provided with a device for sensing the three-dimensional motion, adapted to transmit a signal relating to the displacement carried out and usable for displaying on an electronic device the trajectory of the movement performed by the gripping element or handle;   an elastic band whose ends are respectively fixed to said base and to said gripping element or handle, the length of the portion of the elastic band used for an exercise being variable due to the winding of the same elastic band around the element gripping or handle;   an electronic device connectable to said sensor and provided with a software application adapted to provide an evaluation of the exercise performed and/or to store the acquired data from the sensor and/or to compare these data with an archive.   
     
     
         15 . The set of elements of  claim 9 , wherein it comprises a bag or container having a frame formed by said base of the portable gymnic machine.
