Resistance mechanism with improved stability for ski simulation equipment

Abstract

The present invention relates to a novel exercise equipment for simulation of ski routines, with a resistance regulation mechanism, with individual resistance elements

1 . A resistance mechanism with improved stability for ski simulation equipment (A), which has a base with two transversal ends (a and a′) joined together by a bridge (b), characterized in that it comprises:
 a reinforcement frame (I) made up of two convex tubulars ( 1 ) that have anchoring bases (la) at their ends to be attached by screws to the transverse ends (a and a′) of the ski simulation equipment (A) and, lower reinforcing arches ( 2 ) arranged on the concave surface of said convex tubulars ( 1 ), said lower reinforcing arches ( 2 ) being joined at their distal end, by a crosspiece ( 3 ) having on its lower surface a pair of cylinders of elastomer material ( 4 ), so that the lower reinforcing arches ( 2 ) transmit the force applied to the convex tubulars ( 1 ) towards the ground; an anchoring block ( 5 ) with a receiving tubular ( 6 ), which has at its ends, threaded locks ( 7 ) that allow said receiving tubular ( 6 ) to be extracted from the anchoring block ( 5 ) and; a folding lock ( 8 ), attached in a swinging way by screws to the anchoring block ( 5 ), which has a pedal ( 9 ) at its lower end and an elongated arm ( 10 ) with a terminal hook ( 11 ) at its other end, and; 
 a sliding platform (II), which has two support structures ( 12 ), each one with two perpendicular square profiles ( 13   a  and  13   b ) that receive bearings ( 14 ) between them and an absorption block ( 14   a ) arranged in its distal end to prevent the sliding platform ( 1 ) from crashing against the transversal ends (a and a′) of the base of the ski simulation equipment (A); a connection stringer ( 15 ) that joins the support structures ( 12 ) together by means of screws, which has a perpendicular tubular in its middle part ( 16 ) with threaded locks ( 17 ) at its ends; a plurality of springs ( 18 ) with terminal rings with O-rings ( 19 ), adapted to be received in the perpendicular tubular ( 16 ), being secured to it by the threaded locks ( 17 ), in such a way that when the sliding platform (II) is placed on the reinforcement frame (I), the free ends of the springs ( 18 ) can be anchored to the receiving tubular ( 6 ) in a separable way and; an anchoring bar ( 19 ) arranged in one of the absorption blocks ( 14 ), adapted to interact with the terminal hook ( 11 ) of the elongated arm ( 10 ), so that when pressing the pedal ( 9 ) of the folding lock ( 8 ), said terminal hook ( 11 ) is connected to the anchoring bar ( 19 ), blocking the sliding platform (II) on the reinforcing frame (I), 
 
     
     
         2 . The resistance mechanism with improved stability according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the sliding platform (II) further comprises a pair of anchor points arranged on the support structures ( 12 ), designed to store the springs ( 18 ) when not in use. 
     
     
         3 . The resistance mechanism with improved stability according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the sliding platform (II) further comprises a pair of casings ( 20 ) and ( 21 ), adapted to cover the adjacent ends of the perpendicular square profiles ( 13   a  and  13   b ) of the support structures ( 12 ), to serve as anchorage points for tilting pedals. 
     
     
         4 . The exerciser equipment for simulating ski routines according to  claim 1 , characterized in that each of the springs of the plurality of springs ( 18 ) provides a resistance of 20 kg.
