Abstract:
A training machine (100) for the physical training ofpersons comprising a plurality of traction devices (102); pull cords (142) and deflecting rollers (104) associated with the traction device (102); a carrying device (106) constructed as a central unit; a plurality of traction-device holding rods (108) articulated in the upper region of the carrying device (106); and floor supporting profiles (110) articulated in the lower region on the carrying device (106) wherein the carrying device (106) is movably mounted, wherein the plurality of traction-device holding rods (108) is present circumferentially around the carrying device (106), at least in regions, in a predeterminable pattern, wherein the traction-device holding rods (108) are constructed to be capable of being unfolded and folded up, and wherein the plurality of traction-device holding rods (108), in the unfolded state, delimits the respective training area available to a person for training purposes, wherein the floor supporting profiles (110) are present circumferentially around the carrying device (106) in a predeterminable pattern, wherein the floor supporting profiles (110) are constructed to be capable of being unfolded and folded up, and wherein the floor supporting profiles (110), in the unfolded state, are supported on a standing floor and ensure the stability of the training machine (100), wherein the plurality of traction devices (102) is arranged on the plurality of traction device holding rods (108) and/or the floor supporting profiles (110) and/or the carrying device (106); wherein the carrying device (106) has essentially vertically arranged profile bars (112) which are connected on the bottom side to a head unit (107), in particular a head plate (114), and on the bottom side to a base unit (112), and wherein between the head unit and base unit (107, 111) there is at least one guide unit (118) which is guided longitudinally movably in or on the profile bars (112), wherein the guide unit (118) is connected directly or indirectly to the plurality of traction-device holding rods (108) and/or the floor supporting profiles (110), and wherein the folding movement of the plurality of traction-device holding rods (108) and of the floor supporting profiles (110) are determined by the motion of the guide unit (118).
