Description

"Constructive arrangement introduced on treadmill".

This report refers to a utility model for a constructive arrangement introduced on a treadmill and, more specifically, for a treadmill for residential use.

As is well known, the treadmills were created to

provide physical training by simulating walking and running indoors.

There are sophisticated professional gym treadmills on the market and residential treadmills for private use. These residential mats, when not in use,

occupy a reasonably large space in proportion to the apartment and residence rooms. To alleviate the problem a bit, some residential treadmills have the tilting exercise board, which can be raised almost to the vertical while remaining supported by a second, smaller, fixed chassis. For this constructive condition the tracks are mounted on double chassis with appropriate mechanisms.

Even these treadmills, folding and / or folding in some way, still occupy a physical space that in many cases is significant when we think of their arrangement in a room in a residence.

Another drawback of these treadmills intended for residential or domestic use refers to the fact that, to occupy a small physical space, manufacturers choose to limit their structure and internal mechanisms, which limit their use and make their operation not always suitable to the user's wishes.

It is therefore one of the objectives of the present innovation 'to provide a constructive arrangement introduced on a treadmill that allows its proper use when in operation and which, in the inoperative condition, does not occupy an idle space in the residence.

These and other objectives and advantages of the present innovation are achieved by a constructive arrangement introduced on a treadmill comprised of a rectangular contoured structural chassis having two transverse axes near the ends on which rollers, rotating cylinders are mounted, among which are The wide belt canvas is mounted on which the user will walk or run; This canvas has its upper part supported and sliding on a board, which occupies the space between the extreme rollers and the inner sides of the chassis, where it rests directly or through cushions; wherein one of the rollers has concentrically a pulley driven by an electric motor through belt, which provides the movement of the canvas on the board. According to the innovation, the chassis has a hinge at its transverse end where the engine is housed, on which a contour plate similar to that chassis is mounted, and at the opposite end to this hinge or hinge, said plate has a handle, all the upper and outer face of this plate is covered by an upholstery, typical of an armchair or bed; whereas on the inner face of this plate is provided a telescopic arm that interconnects said plate to the chassis, close to the articulation line of the latter, to assist in the opening and closing of these parts; wherein the plate on its inner face and near the end containing the handle provides a recessed housing in which a track control and monitoring panel is disposable; In the dead condition the plate is lowered until it rests on the chassis, closing the mat to become an armchair or bed.

The following innovation will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 is an elevation view of the treadmill in closed and inoperative condition;

Figure 2 is a top view of the treadmill in closed and inoperative condition;

Figure 3 represents a longitudinal vertical section of the treadmill in its inoperative condition, taken along line "A-A" of Figure 2;

Fig. 4 is a horizontal section of the treadmill taken along line "B-B" of Fig. 2;

Figure 5 is an elevation view of the treadmill in its open and ready to use condition; and Figure 6 is a perspective view of the treadmill.

with the seat raised, ie in its condition of use.

According to these illustrations, the constructive arrangement introduced in the treadmill, object of the present innovation, is comprised of a structural frame 1, with rectangular outline, having two transverse axes 2, near the transverse edges of this chassis 1, on which rollers are mounted. 3, cylindrical and swiveling, between which a wide belt-shaped tarpaulin 4 is mounted, on which the user will walk or run when using the treadmill.

This tarp 4 has its upper part supported and sliding on a board 5, which occupies the space between the rollers 3 and the inner sides of the longitudinal edges of the chassis 1, where it rests directly or by means of cushions.

One of the rollers 3 is axially connected to a pulley 6, which in turn is driven by an electric motor 7, through a belt 8, which provides movement of the tarpaulin 4 on the board 5, see figure 4.

Chassis 1, at the extreme edge of the engine side 7, has a hinge 9 or hinge to allow the hinged coupling of a plate 10, similar in contour to chassis 1, and at the extreme edge opposite the hinge. 9 this chassis has a handle 1. Thus, this plate 10 receives on its outer surface an upholstery 12, typical of an armchair or bed.

According to figures 5 and 6, when the plate 10 with its upholstery 12 is lifted up to near the vertical, the tarpaulin 4 of the treadmill on which the user performs his walking exercise is exposed and accessible. The lifting of this plate 10 is aided by a gas spring 13, see figure 5, secured between it and the chassis 1.

The plate 10 has, at the end near the handle 11, a recessed housing housing the belt control and monitoring panel 14, see figures 5 and 6. The panel 14 can be hinged to the housing to allow the user to place it in a position best suited to your view.

Chassis 1 can be padded with feet 15 to isolate the floor from vibrations transmitted by the user's walk. When the treadmill is not in use for exercise, the treadmill

it is lowered until it rests on chassis 1, and the set becomes an armchair or bed, see figures 1, 2 and 3.

Thus, the treadmill, when disabled, does not occupy any space in the room, and does not interfere with the aesthetics of the place.
