Description
Title: Stationary Exercise Machine Technical field of the invention This invention relates to stationary exercise machines.
Background to the invention The inventor is aware of the beneficial effects of vibrations during exercises. Vibrations in the range of 30 to 35 Hertz is believed to be most beneficial for recovery and injury prevention during and after exercise.
However, mechanically complex exercise machines such as bicycles, stationary bicycles, elliptical exercise machines such as, stepping machines, cross trainers and the like machines have not been able to successfully incorporate vibration technology due to the destructive effect of such vibrations on the bearings and pivot points of such machines.
It is an object of the invention to provide durable vibrating exercise machines.
General description of the invention According to the invention there is provided an exercise machine of the type which have pedals or foot plates through which a person can, in use, transfer kinetic energy to the machine, which machine comprises a means for vibrating the pedals or foot plates during exercise.
The exercise machine may be a bicycle, stationary exercise bicycle, an elliptical exercise type machine, stepping machine or the like.
It is to be understood and appreciated that vibration is caused directly to the pedal or footplate, which places the vibration energy closest to the person doing exercises and minimizes the vibrations transmitted to the machine and its components.
The preferred means for vibrating the pedals or foot plates during exercise may be a rotatable pedal or footplate mounting shaft of which the rotation axis and the pedal or footplate mounting point is offset to cause a wobble, vibration or oscillation of the pedal or footplate during exercise. Alternatively, the means for vibrating the pedals or foot plates during exercise may be an electrical vibration motor mounted to the footplate or pedal.
In the case of a bicycle or stationary exercise bicycle, the bicycle comprising:
a pair of round stationary gears or stationary pulleys mounted on each side of the bicycle and with a circumference similar to the rotation circumference of rotating pedal shafts of the bicycle;
a pair of crank arms rotatably mounted and connected at one end of each crank arm through a bottom bracket of the bicycle, which bottom bracket extends through the middle of the stationary gears or stationary pulleys; and a shaft rotatably mounted through a hole defined in the free end of each crank arm with one end extending inwards towards the bicycle and provided with a coaxial gear or coaxial pulley respectively engaging the stationary gears or stationary pulley, as the case may be, with the other outwardly extending end provided with a socket for receiving a shaft of a bicycle pedal, which socket is offset from the axis of the rotatable shaft.
In the case of gears, the gears engage each other directly to transfer rotational forces and in the case of pulleys a belt transfers the rotational forces.
At least two, preferably three bearings are provided between the rotatable shaft and the hole defined in the free end of each crank arm.
It is to be appreciated that as the pedals rotate, the rotatable shaft will rotate in relation to the stationary and coaxial gear or pulley ratio, which in turn will rotate the offset socket causing the socket and therefore the pedal shaft to

Alternatively, the means for vibrating the pedals or foot plates during exercise may be an electrical vibration motor mounted to the footplate or pedal.
In the case of a bicycle or stationary exercise bicycle, the bicycle comprising:
a pair of round stationary gears or stationary pulleys mounted on each side of the bicycle and with a circumference similar to the rotation circumference of rotating pedal shafts of the bicycle;

In the case of gears, the gears engage each other directly to transfer rotational forces and in the case of pulleys a belt transfers the rotational forces.
At least two, preferably three bearings are provided between the rotatable shaft and the hole defined in the free end of each crank arm.
It is to be appreciated that as the pedals rotate, the rotatable shaft will rotate in relation to the stationary and coaxial gear or pulley ratio, which in turn will rotate the offset socket causing the socket and therefore the pedal shaft to
2 move in a circle about the shaft. The circular movement of the offset socket and pedal shaft is experienced by the cyclist as a small wobble or oscillation and at speed a vibration directly transmitted to a person's feet. The amplitude of the wobble or vibration is equal to the offset.
In the case of a pulley, a drive belt will connect the stationary pulley and coaxial pulley and the machine may include a belt tensioner mounted near the free end of the crank arms. The belt tensioner will rotate with the free end of the crank arm.
The gear or pulley ratio of the large stationary gear and the small coaxial gear may preferably selected such that at a typical pedaling cadence range of to 100 revolutions per minute (rpm) the pedal shaft will cycle at 30 to 35 Hertz (about 2000 rpm).
The offset and therefor the amplitude of the wobble or vibration may preferably be between 1 and 5 mm.
In the case of an elliptical exercise type machine or stepping machine, a pair of stationary rack gears is mounted on each side of the machine;

In this embodiment translation forces are transmitted to rotational forces and the rack gears may be straight or shaped in an arc to follow the movement of the reciprocating footplates.
An advantage of the invention is that the vibration source is the pedals or footplate, i.e. the working contact point between a person and the exercise
In the case of a pulley, a drive belt will connect the stationary pulley and coaxial pulley and the machine may include a belt tensioner mounted near the free end of the crank arms. The belt tensioner will rotate with the free end of the crank arm.
The gear or pulley ratio of the large stationary gear and the small coaxial gear may preferably selected such that at a typical pedaling cadence range of to 100 revolutions per minute (rpm) the pedal shaft will cycle at 30 to 35 Hertz (about 2000 rpm).
The offset and therefor the amplitude of the wobble or vibration may preferably be between 1 and 5 mm.
In the case of an elliptical exercise type machine or stepping machine, a pair of stationary rack gears is mounted on each side of the machine;
a pair of footplate carrying arms attached to the machine at one end and which arms are configured to oscillate about the attached end;

In this embodiment translation forces are transmitted to rotational forces and the rack gears may be straight or shaped in an arc to follow the movement of the reciprocating footplates.
An advantage of the invention is that the vibration source is the pedals or footplate, i.e. the working contact point between a person and the exercise
3 machine and most of the vibrational energy is transmitted directly to the person to give maximum benefit to the person while minimizing the vibration to the bicycle thereby minimizing the destructive effect of vibrations on the bicycle or exercise machine. A further advantage of the bicycle or stationary exercise bicycle embodiment of the invention is that the vibrations are mechanically generated and no electrical motors are required and the machine does not have to be connected to a power source. In addition, the interaction of the gears provide a source of resistance to pedaling, which lowers the required resistance to be provided by the usual resistance means of stationary exercise machines.
