CA 2551907

An anchor device for elastically resistive exercise apparatus is disclosed. The cactus-tree anchor device has a rigid elongated vertical backbone. Protruding from the elongated backbone is a plurality of curved, upward- pointing arms resembling the trunk and arms of a Saguaro cactus. Pairs of these curved arms protrude from opposite sides of the elongated backbone. These arms facilitate the easy connection of elastic members, such as coil springs, to the anchor device while helping to prevent elastic members from becoming inadvertently dislodged during expansion and contraction of the elastic member. Mounting members located at upper and lower ends of the vertical backbone allow the anchor device to be mounted on or within the exercise apparatus. The anchor device is particularly adapted for use in a Pilates combination chair exercise apparatus.

La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'ancrage destiné à un appareil d'exercice physique à résistance élastique. Ce dispositif d'ancrage à ramification de type cactus possède un squelette vertical allongé rigide. Faisant saillie à partir du squelette allongé une pluralité de bras pointant vers le haut et incurvés ressemblent au tronc et aux bras d'un cactus Saguaro. Des paires de ces bras incurvés font saillie à partir des côtés opposés du squelette allongé. Ces bras facilitent une connexion facile des éléments élastiques, tel que des ressorts enroulés, sur ce dispositif d'exercice tout en aidant à empêcher les éléments élastiques de ce déloger par inadvertance pendant l'extension où la contraction de ceux-ci. Des éléments de supports situés aux extrémités supérieures et inférieures du squelette vertical permettent au dispositif d'ancrage d'être supporté sur ou à l'intérieur de l'appareil d'exercice. Ce dispositif d'ancrage convient particulièrement dans un appareil d'exercice en chaise à combinaison Pilates.
