Gymnastic machine () includes a frame (), a slide () carried movable by the frame () along a given direction (D) from and to a starting station (), with the slide () being suitable for coupling with a first limb in such a way as to guide it along the given direction (D) and to enable, in use, to control a scissor movement of the first limb with respect to a second limb retained at the starting station ().

Gymnastic machine

A gymnastic machine () includes a first frame (), a first support member () carried by the first frame () by means of a guiding device () to be movable along at least one given direction (D), the first support member () being shaped to be interfaced with a first body region of a user and a bearing member () being rotatably supported by the first frame () around an axis () transverse to the given direction (D), the bearing member () being shaped to be interfaced to a second body region.

A gymnastic machine having a frame () supporting a load group (), and at least one gripping station () presenting a respective implement () for the execution of a physical exercise, with the load group (30) connected to each implement () by at least one flexible member () supported by the frame () through a plurality of pulley-blocks () along a route (P), at least one implement () connected to flexible member () at the respective gripping station (), and a return device () being connected to each implement () to restrain the implement () itself along the route (P) in at least one uniquely determinate position (DP) with respect to frame () in a indefinitely repeatable manner.

A braking control device for skates including a shoe having a toe portion at a forward location and a heel portion at a rearward location, and a pivoting quarter, and the shoe being connected with a chassis having a plurality of wheels at least one of which interacts with a brake device. The braking control device has structure allowing to transfer a braking force to the at least one wheel up to a presettable value, which is preferably close to the value required to lock the at least one wheel and beyond which an excess force is substantially not transferred to the at least one wheel. The brake device includes: a traction element connected at a first end to sliding trapezoidal elements which activate pivoting breaking bars engageable with wheel hubs, and the traction element being connected at a second end with a cylinder which is slidably accommodated in a seat provided at the rear of the shoe; and a pin protruding from the quarter of the shoe for engaging a disk which is slidingly seated in the cylinder and biased upwardly by a spring. Alternatively, the cylinder is slidingly accommodated in a seat formed in the quarter of the shoe.

Braking control device, particularly for skates

A braking control device for skates including a shoe having a toe portion at a forward location and a heel portion at a rearward location, and a pivoting quarter, and the shoe being connected with a chassis having a plurality of wheels at least one of which interacts with a brake device, The braking control device has structure allowing to transfer a braking force to the at least one wheel up to a presettable value, which is preferably close to the value required to lock the at least one wheel and beyond which an excess force is substantially not transferred to the at least one wheel. The brake device includes: a braking block pivoted to the chassis; and a bar connected at a first end to the quarter and slidingly engaged in a seat of a rearward protrusion of the braking block, and the bar has at a second end thereof a T-shaped tip forming a head abutting against the protrusion of the braking block.

A frame particularly for skates, including at least one pair of lateral wings between which pivots are transversely associated, wheels being rotatably associated with the pivots. In the frame, the base and/or the pair of lateral shoulders are constituted by a plurality of first substantially rigid elements which are interconnected, in preset regions, by second elements adapted to cushion stresses and/or vibrations transmitted by the wheels.

Wheel supporting frame for skates

An in-line skate having a shoe connected with a frame having lateral wing pairs rotatably supporting wide tread in-line wheels structured such that when the skate is supported on a planar support surface and the skate is tilted from a vertical position in an inner direction an inner maximum laterally protruding point of an inner lateral surface of the skate shoe will make contact with the planar support surface before contact will be made with the planar support surface by the inner lateral wings, and such that when the skate is supported on the planar support surface and the skate is tilted from a vertical position in an outer direction an outer maximum laterally protruding point of an outer lateral surface of the shoe will make contact with the planar support surface before contact will be made with the planar support surface by the outer lateral wings.
