Left and right two beat bars 60 lay respectively at the bottom side of left and right two motion assemblies 50, respectively have one first relative end 61 and one second end 62.First end 61 of each beat bar 60 is articulated in the bottom 31 of skeleton 30 by the axis of left and right directions, and first end, 61 pivots of left and right two beat bars 60 form coaxially, and the position of aforementioned pivot is than the pedal position 55 of motion assembly 50 (as shown in Figure 2) more on the front.Second end 62 of each beat bar 60 is articulated in the hypomere bar 51 traversing section inboards (as shown in Figure 4) of the motion assembly 50 of same side by the axis of left and right directions, and the position is corresponding to the scope of pedal position 55, between front end 56 and rear end 57.
As shown in Figure 2, by above-mentioned syndeton, when the portion that rotates 52 of each motion assembly 50 agrees to crank 42 when circular trace A moves, the position that the pedal position 55 of motion assembly 50 bottoms and beat bar 60 second ends 62 articulate, the rough centre position of pedal position 55 just, can be subjected to pining down of beat bar 60, accordingly one with beat bar 60 first ends 61 be motion on the arching trajectory B in the center of circle (annotate: when the portion of rotating 52 along circular trace A when circling, a reciprocating action can be finished along arching trajectory B in aforementioned pivot joint position), the front end 56 of pedal position 55 and rear end 57 then can be accordingly separately along sealing track C1, the C2 motion.Simultaneously, the hand grip portion 54 on motion assembly 50 tops also can be accordingly moves along the round bend mark D of ovalize without exception.In the present embodiment, preset relation based on above-mentioned member, the arching trajectory B of pedal position 55 and sealing track C1, C2 all have a high-end and low side, and separately high-end all than low side near the place ahead, in other words, the motion of pedal position 55 roughly presents the reciprocating motion that " up simultaneously forward " reaches " down the while backward ".
When using sports equipment 10, the user steps on both feet respectively the pedal position 55 of left and right two motion assemblies 50 bottoms, and both hands are held the hand grip portion 54 on left and right two motion assemblies 50 tops respectively, the application of force makes pedal position 55 and hand grip portion 54 along limited separately orbiting motion then, so driving the motion assembly 50 middle portions that rotate 52 rotates along circular trace A circulation, just drive the rotation of crank mechanism 40 and flywheel 72 original places, by overcoming eddy-current brake, reach the effect that the upper part of the body and the lower part of the body move simultaneously to the default resistance that flywheel 72 applies.
Hand exercise among the present invention is to rotate along the round bend mark D of ovalize without exception, is different from the hand push pull maneuver of most known sports equipments.As Fig. 1 and shown in Figure 3, in the present embodiment, the top of skeleton 30 cradle portion 32 is provided with left and right two handles 26 that lay respectively at console 24 left and right two sides, thus, the user can select both hands are held on the fixed handle 26, only carries out lower part of the body motion.
During motion,, also can present counter motion between user's the left and right pin based on the counter motion of crank mechanism 40 left and right two cranks 42, for example, when the pedal position 55 of right crus of diaphragm up moves forward, the down motion backward of the pedal position 55 of left foot.Similarly, if carry out hand exercise simultaneously, then when the hand grip portion 54 of the right hand rotated forward, the hand grip portion 54 of left hand can be to rotate substantially backward.
Part at foot motion, because the rough centre position of each pedal position 55 is along the reciprocal lifting of arching trajectory B, and the front end 56 of pedal position 55 and rear end 57 are to move along sealing track C1, the C2 of a longitudinal separately, so pedal position 55 can constantly change the angle between itself and the aforementioned supporting surface (for example ground) in motion process.For example in the present embodiment, when pedal position 55 moves to the low side of scope of activities, connecting line between forward and backward two ends 56,57 roughly presents level, when pedal position 55 moves to scope of activities high-end, then can present the lateral attitude that front end 56 is lower than rear end 57.
The foregoing description utilizes the default relativeness of beat bar 60 first ends 61 and second end 62, makes the movement locus of pedal position 55 present significantly vertically trend, just allow foot motion have more significantly and move up and down, and it is more not obvious relatively to seesaw.
For the purpose of the present invention, first end 61 of beat bar 60 is articulated in the position on the skeleton 30, does not limit the pedal position 55 that will be lower than motion assembly 50, does not also limit to be positioned at pedal position 55 the place aheads.In other words, with the arching trajectory B among Fig. 2 is example, if skeleton 30 forms cooperate, and the pivot points of beat bar 60 first ends 61 is changed to the back upper place (or height between scope of activities of pedal position 55) of pedal position 55, the corresponding position of pedal position 55 is limited in a position to second end 62 that still can make beat bar 60 and the roughly the same arching trajectory B of slope goes up motion, just makes pedal position 55 that identical or similar motion mode is arranged.Certainly, as shown in FIG. beat bar 60 is arranged on pedal position 55 belows, in fact can simplifies equipment, also more can not hamper the user.
As shown in Figure 5, the sports equipment 10 of another preferred embodiment of the present invention ' similar with last embodiment, have equally a skeleton 30 ', a crank mechanism 40 ', two motion assemblies 50 ' and two beat bars 60 ' etc. main member (annotate: the left and right two beat bars 60 among the figure ' overlapping), and aforementioned components annexation and said structure each other is identical, and same section repeats no more.The sports equipment 10 of present embodiment ' be with last embodiment maximum difference structurally, each beat bar 60 ' length shorter, though first end 61 ' also be articulated in skeleton 30 ' bottom 31 ', but pivot points is by the rear, be substantially be positioned at motion assembly 50 ' pedal position 55 ' bottom side.On the other hand, beat bar 60 ' second end 62 ' be articulated in motion assembly 50 ' pedal position 55 ' near 57 ' position, rear end, thus, during motion, pedal position 55 ' can move along an arching trajectory B ' with the position of beat bar 60 ' pivot joint, pedal position 55 ' front end 56 ' then can move along a sealing track C1 '.More accurate, each beat bar 60 ' the first end 61 ' be articulated in skeleton 30 ' on the position, (making progress) at antero posterior axis be between pedal position 55 ' front end 56 ' sealing track C1 ' leading edge and rear end 57 ' sealing track C2 ' trailing edge between, simply say be exactly between pedal position 55 ' scope of activities between.
The sports equipment 10 that present embodiment provides ' be available for users to equally carry out all-around exercises, wherein, hand is still along the round bend mark D ' of ovalize without exception and moves, but foot motion then has than big difference with last embodiment, promptly, by above-mentioned beat bar 60 ' the first ends 61 ' and second end 62 ' default relativeness, the pedal position 55 in the present embodiment ' not only possess the motion on the above-below direction also has the motion on the tangible fore-and-aft direction simultaneously.In addition, the pedal position 55 in the present embodiment ' in motion process, meeting reach circulation change between " front end is lower than the rear end " three kinds of attitudes in " front end is higher than the rear end ", " level ".
As opposite with Fig. 5, the present invention also can be articulated in second end of beat bar the close front position of the pedal position of motion assembly, makes the pivot points of pedal position move along an arching trajectory, and the rear end of pedal position then is along a sealing orbiting motion.
Comprehensive above the explanation as can be known, sports equipment provided by the present invention can carry out the motion of hand (above the waist) and shank (lower part of the body) simultaneously for the user, and sports equipment member of the present invention is few, simple in structure, so production cost is lower.In addition, the front and back length of sports equipment of the present invention is shorter, take up room and floor space less.
