Landing device for dismounting from apparatus, particularly for gymnasts

Abstract

The object of the invention is a landing device, particularly for gymnasts when dismounting from said apparatus, particularly for the purpose of a stabilized dismount, characterized in that it comprises at least one first shock-absorbing volume ( 10 ) and one second shock-absorbing volume ( 12 ), the at least one of these two volumes being inflatable, both superimposed, as well as means ( 14 ) of connecting these at least two volumes in said superimposed position. The second shock-absorbing volume is inflatable.

1 . A landing device comprising:
 at least one first shock-absorbing volume one second shock-absorbing volume, placed on top of the at least one first shock-absorbing volume in a superimposed position,   means for connecting the at least one first shock-absorbing volume and one second shock-absorbing volume in said superimposed position,   wherein the second shock-absorbing volume is inflatable.   
     
     
         2 . The landing device according to  claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the volumes is uniform so as to form a flat surface. 
     
     
         3 . The landing device according to  claim 1  wherein the first-shock absorbing volume comprises a block of foam. 
     
     
         4 . The landing device according to  claim 1  wherein the first shock-absorbing volume is made of foam and has a height and the second inflatable volume has a height that is greater than the height of the first shock-absorbing volume. 
     
     
         5 . The landing device according to  claim 3 , wherein the heights are respectively:
 the height of the first shock-absorbing volume is between 2 cm and 15 cm and the height of the second inflatable volume is   between 5 cm and 20 cm.   
     
     
         6 . The landing device according to  claim 1 , wherein, in the case of two shock-absorbing volumes, the connecting means comprise pairs of patches, one connected to the bottom face of the shock-absorbing volume placed on top and the other to the top face of the shock-absorbing volume placed on the bottom. 
     
     
         7 . The landing device according to  claim 1  wherein the at least one inflatable shock-absorbing volume has weights at the corners. 
     
     
         8 . The landing device according to  claim 1  wherein the at least one inflatable shock-absorbing volume has shock-absorbing corner-pieces at the corners. 
     
     
         9 . The landing device according to  claim 1  wherein the at least one inflatable shock-absorbing volume has a peripheral shock-absorbing frame. 
     
     
         10 . The landing device according to  claim 1  wherein the at least one inflatable shock-absorbing volume is inflated to a pressure of between 120 mbars and 220 mbars. 
     
     
         11 . The landing device according to  claim 1  wherein the single envelope coming from the first shock-absorbing volume immobilizes the second shock-absorbing volume.
