Description

可一步折叠的椭圆运动器械
技术领域
本发明主要涉及运动设备,并且更具体地涉及椭圆运动器械。
背景技术
具有交替往复式脚支承的运动器械是众所周知的,并通常称为椭圆运动器械或椭圆交叉训练器(cross-trainer),所述交替往复式脚支承构造为绕闭合路径来回移动或行进以使用该器械模拟个体的跨步、跑步、步行和/或攀爬动作。通常,椭圆或椭圆式运动器械包括设计为接收和支承用户的脚的一对往复式脚支承。每个往复式脚支承具有支承用于绕枢转点的旋转动作的至少一端,而另一端以构造为使往复式脚支承沿闭合路径诸如往复的椭圆或长圆形路径或者其它类似的几何形状轮廓行进或来回移动的方式支承。因此,在运动器械的运行时,使每个往复式脚支承沿该闭合路径行进或来回移动,从而模拟用户的用于锻炼目的的跨步动作。往复式脚支承构造为彼此180度异相,以便模拟适当的和自然的交替跨步动作。
个体可通过将他或她的脚放在往复式脚支承上来使用椭圆运动器械。然后个体可致动该运动器械任意期望的时长以使往复式脚支承沿它们各自的闭合路径重复地行进,此动作有效地导致一系列的通过个体实现的跨步,以达到具有低冲击优点的锻炼。因此,在运动装置的一般领域中,对于非冲击装置具有长期持续的需求,而具有椭圆动作的装置满足此需求。
然而,椭圆器械的用户经常面临当器械不在使用中时将他们的运动器械存放在哪里的难题。因而,需要提供一种允许容易、安全和快速存储的椭圆器械。
发明内容
提供一种折叠式椭圆运动器械,其允许容易、安全和快速的存储并在用户的单一动作之后能够将其形状变为相当紧凑的形式以用于存储,并且反之亦然。该椭圆运动器械包括:具有基部支承结构的框架,该基部支承结构具有前部和后部,其中该后部可旋转地附接到前部,使得椭圆运动器械可在工作位置与存储位置之间移动;以及互连到该框架的第一往复式脚支承和第二往复式脚支承,每个脚支承具有第一端和第二端,可折叠接头在该第一端与第二端之间,其中每个往复式脚支承是可折叠的,从而该运动器械能在工作位置与存储位置之间移动。
每个往复式脚支承是可折叠的,从而通过向上并朝着基部支承结构的前部旋转基部支承结构的后部,该运动器械能够在单一步骤中在工作位置与存储位置之间移动。框架进一步包括立式支承结构并且每个往复式脚支承的第一端互连到立式支承结构。运动器械进一步包括第一摆臂和第二摆臂,每个摆臂具有第一端和第二端,每个摆臂的第一端枢转连接到立式支承结构,而每个摆臂的第二端连接到每个往复式脚支承的第一端。此外,椭圆运动器械进一步包括位于基部支承结构的后部上的驱动组件,其中每个往复式脚支承的第二端可移动地联接到该驱动组件。
椭圆运动器械进一步包括锁定机构,在存储位置中,该锁定机构防止基部支承结构的后部意外地相对于基部支承结构的前部旋转。运动器械进一步包括释放构件,所述释放构件用于使锁定机构脱开,从而基部支承结构的后部能够相对于基部支承结构的前部旋转。此外,锁定机构和释放构件均位于基部支承结构的后部上。
每个往复式脚支承的可折叠接头限定每个往复式脚支承的向前部和向后部。此外,针对本发明的合适功能,即运动器械在用户的一个动作中的折叠,每个往复式脚支承的向后部具有曲率,使得可折叠接头、往复式脚支承的第一端以及往复式脚支承的第二端形成三角形的三个顶点。类似地,在一个实施例中,每个往复式脚支承的向前部大约为每个往复式脚支承的向后部的两倍长。
此外提供了一种用于将本发明的椭圆运动器械的位置从工作位置改变到存储位置的方法。该方法包括向上并朝着基部支承结构的前部旋转基部支承结构的后部。另一公开的方法包括向上并朝着器械的前部旋转器械的后部,这里将器械限定为仅具有前部和后部。最后,公开了一种用于将椭圆运动器械的位置从工作位置改变到存储位置或从存储位置改变到工作位置的方法,其中该方法包括或者向上并朝着器械的前部旋转基部支承结构的后部以将器械从工作位置改变到存储位置,或者向下并朝着支承面旋转基部支承结构的后部以将器械从存储位置改变到工作位置。
附图说明
为了本发明的上述以及其它优点和目的实现所用的方式,将参照附图中示出的本发明的具体实施例对上文简述的本发明进行更具体的描述。这些附图仅示出了本发明的典型实施例。因此,不认为这些实施例限制本发明的范围。将通过附图的使用来对本发明进行更具体和详细的描述和说明,在附图中:

具体实施方式
参照附图作出本发明示例性实施例的以下详细描述,这些附图通过图示方式显示了本发明被实施在其中的示例性实施例。尽管对这些示例性实施例进行了足够详细的描述以使本领域技术人员实施本发明,但是应当理解的是,其它实施例也可以实现,并且在不偏离本发明的精神和范围的情况下可对本发明作出各种变型。因而,如图中表示的,下文本发明实施例的更详细描述没有意图限制所要求保护的本发明的范围。给出这些描述仅仅是为了示例的目的,并且描述本发明的特征和特性,提出本发明的最佳运行模式,以及使本领域技术人员能够充分地实施本发明。因此,本发明的范围仅由所附权利要求限定。通过参照附图,将最好地理解下文的详细描述和本发明的示例性实施例,其中贯穿全文本发明的元件和特征通过附图标记指示。
本发明描述和展示了一种运动器械,具体地描述和展示了一种椭圆或椭圆式运动器械,该运动器械能够在用户的单一动作后将其形状变为相当紧凑的形式,以用于存储。在单一步骤中,整个运动装置能够在其自身上折叠,从而允许用户容易地将器械的构造从工作位置改变到紧凑的存储位置。
参照附图,根据下文阐明的详细描述,本发明的优点将是明显的。这些优点绝非意味着限制。实际上,除了此处具体地描述的之外,本领域技术人员将认识的是在实施本发明时可实现其它的优点。
图1显示了处于其工作位置的后安装或后机械式椭圆运动装置100的侧视图。该椭圆运动装置100包括框架10、驱动组件20、第一往复式脚支承30、第二往复式脚支承40以及枢转连接到框架10的第一摆臂50和第二摆臂60。框架10包括基部支承结构8和立式支承结构16,该基部支承结构8包括前部12和后部14,摆臂50和60绕该立式支承结构16枢转。
第一往复式脚支承30包括向前部32和向后部34、位于向前部32与向后部34之间的第一可折叠接头35、第一接头盖36以及第一脚垫38。第二往复式脚支承40包括向前部42和向后部44、位于向前部42与向后部44之间的第二可折叠接头45、第二接头盖46以及第二脚垫48。在图1的工作位置中,本发明的椭圆运动器械100以与传统椭圆运动器械相同的方式运行。类似地,运动器械100的部件通常以传统方式彼此相连。相对于椭圆运动器械100的第一侧,第一摆臂50具有下端51,该下端51在联接点X处连接到第一往复式脚支承30的向前端31。第一往复式脚支承30的向后端39在联接点Y处可旋转地连接到驱动组件20的曲柄21。除了两侧偏移180度之外,椭圆运动器械100的第二侧的各自部件以与右侧相同的方式连接。
图2显示了图1的椭圆运动器械100的透视图。如所示的,基部支承结构8的前部12和后部14通过枢转点13分开。椭圆运动器械100进一步包括位于基部支承结构8的前部12上的轮92和94,以及在基部支承结构8的后部14上的手柄90。要将椭圆运动器械100置于存储位置,用户只要抓住手柄90并连同基部支承结构8的后部14和驱动组件20一起向上并朝着立式支承结构16(沿箭头A的方向)旋转它。
这样,枢转点13限定了器械100的前部47和后部49,其中该后部49包括基部支承结构8的后部14、驱动组件20和手柄90,而该前部47包括器械100的其余部件。在这些条件下,要将椭圆运动器械100置于存储位置,用户只要向上并朝着器械100的前部49旋转器械100的后部49。
图3显示了处于其存储位置的椭圆运动器械100。在折叠过程期间,第一往复式脚支承30和第二往复式脚支承40分解成它们各自的向前部和向后部,如图3中所示。此外,如图3中所示,接头盖36和36设置在第一往复式脚支承30和第二往复式脚支承40上,以防止当椭圆运动器械100处于其存储位置时的意外伤害。
一旦椭圆运动器械100处于其存储位置,则用户能够使整个器械100向前倾斜,从而使它在其轮92和94上平衡并将器械100滚动到任意理想的地点。如图3中所示,在其存储位置中,器械100具有比如图1和图2中所示的当器械100处于其工作位置时更小的占地面积。要将器械100放回到其工作位置,用户只要抓住手柄90并连同基部支承结构8的后部14和驱动组件20一起往下并朝着支承面旋转它。
椭圆运动器械100进一步包括位于基部支承结构8的后部14上的锁定机构94,该锁定机构94防止器械100意外地返回到工作位置,即意外地往下落回到支承面99。当用户想要将器械100从存储位置移动到工作位置时,他或她按压位于基部支承结构8的后部14上的释放构件或按钮92以使锁定机构94脱开并抓住手柄90以向下旋转后部14和驱动组件20,直到后部14位于支承面99上,处于其工作位置。
尽管锁定机构94可采用许多形式,但是与图3的椭圆运动器械100配合的锁定机构在2006年10月13日提交的发明名称为“FoldingElliptical Exercise Machine”的同时待决和共同转让的US申请No.11/549,530中显示和公开,该申请通过参引完全合并于此。
图4A显示了图1的椭圆运动器械,具体而言第一摆臂50枢转连接到立式支承结构16的区域的放大、剪切透视图,其中盖被取下以图示该区域的内部操作。具体地,图4A显示了本发明的关键特征并展示出开始第一往复式脚支承30和第二往复式脚支承40分解成它们各自的向前部和向后部的过程。当用户抓住手柄90并连同基部支承结构8的后部14和驱动组件20一起向上并朝着立式支承结构16旋转它时,此动作将第一往复式脚支承30向前移动。将第一往复式脚支承30向前移动使第一摆臂50如图4A中所示顺时针(以及沿图2和图4A中的箭头B的方向)旋转。第一摆臂50的此顺时针动作是比运动器械100的正常运行期间所经历的更大的旋转。因此,当在折叠操作的开始期间将此顺时针旋转给予第一摆臂50时,摆臂50上的第一凸缘56接触立式支承结构16上的第一止挡件17,如图4B中所示。第一凸缘56和第一止挡件17的邻接致使第一摆臂50停止旋转。然而,第一往复式脚支承30的连续动作导致该往复式脚支承30分解成其向前部32和向后部34。第二往复式脚支承40以与第一往复式脚支承30相同的方式操作。
图5显示了椭圆运动器械100的另一侧视图,其示出了本发明的另一重要特征。已发现在当用户连同基部支承结构8的后部14和驱动组件20一起向上并朝着立式支承结构16旋转手柄90时允许往复式脚支承30和40分解成它们各自的前部和后部的方面,每个往复式脚支承30和40的前部与后部之间的关系是重要的关系。仅为了示例的目的,此关系在图5中参照第一往复式脚支承30示出。从点X(第一摆臂50连接到第一往复式脚支承30的位置)到第一可折叠接头35的距离由“A”表示。从点Y(第一往复式脚支承30可旋转地连接到驱动组件20的位置)到第一可折叠接头35的距离由“B”表示。如图5中所示,点X、Y和第一可折叠接头35形成三角形的三个顶点或角。
在当用户向上并朝着器械100的前部47旋转器械100的后部49时允许往复式脚支承30和40分解成它们各自的前部和后部的方面,此点X、Y和接头35形成三角形的点是本发明的重要特征。如图5中所示,注意到因为第一往复式脚支承30的后部34具有曲率,所以点X、Y和接头35形成三角形。如果没有此曲率或某一与提供三角形关系等同的形式,则当用户向上并朝着前部47旋转器械100的后部49时将不能使往复式脚支承30和40分解成它们各自的前部和后部,或者将不会如所公开的三角形关系那样工作得好。尽管其它尺寸将可以工作,但是对于图1-5的椭圆运动器械100,距离A是30.316英寸,距离B是14.612英寸,角度α是6度,而角度β是13度。最后,此三角形的高度由字母“C”表示并且为3.229英寸。
不管上述三角形的精确尺寸如何,期望使用户能够利用微小的(nominal)努力或力将器械100置于存储位置中或者将器械100置于工作位置中。除了上述的尺寸之外,另一实现此目标的方式是提供椭圆运动器械100,其中每个往复式脚支承30和40的向前部的长度与向后部的长度的比率使得用户仅需给予微小的力来使运动器械从工作位置移动到存储位置。
除了本发明的椭圆运动器械100之外,还公开了一种改变椭圆运动器械的位置,即在工作位置与存储位置之间改变的方法。如上所述,要改变位置,用户仅需连同基部支承结构8的后部14和驱动组件20一起抓住手柄90并相应地向上或向下旋转。用户向上并朝着立式支承结构16旋转以将器械100置于存储位置中,而用户向下并朝着支承面99旋转以将器械100置于工作位置中。要实现任一操纵,用户仅需执行此单一步骤。例如,在用户折叠器械100之前,他或她不需花费时间来拆卸椭圆器械100的往复式脚支承30或40或者任何其它部件,折叠是唯一必须的步骤。
因而,本发明提供一种椭圆器械,由于在用户的单一动作之后能够将该椭圆器械的形状变成相当紧凑的形式以用于存储,并且反之亦然,所以该椭圆器械允许容易、安全和快速的存储。在单一步骤中,整个运动装置能在其自身上折叠,允许用户容易地将器械的构造从工作位置改变到紧凑的存储位置,反之亦然。
尽管此处对本发明的多个实施例进行了详细地描述,但是本领域技术人员将理解的是,在不偏离本发明的精神或权利要求的范围的情况下,可对本发明的这些实施例作出变形。
