Since the crank mechanism employed for the motion of the feet is identical to the one described in the document US 5.423.729, the previously mentioned drawbacks are confirmed in this case as well.

  • Such an orientation thus allows the user to have advantageously available a support constantly distributed over the entire sole of the foot, for the entire duration of the exercise, and for any position assumed by the foot rest along the trajectory 9.
  • Such a condition entails a lesser stress to joints and muscles for the ankles and for the knees both in the course of the walking action, and, all the more so, in the course of the actions which are characteristics of running.

  • the kinematic mechanisms 3 of the machine can include sliding means constructed differently from those described above and comprising in particular a fixed roller 100 whereon the section 101 of the first connecting rod 8, opposite to the end articulated with the first crank 4, bears.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un exerciseur (1) constitué par une paire de mécanismes cinématiques (3) plans, parallèles, comprenant chacun un repose-pied (2), une bielle (4) pivotant sur un goujon horizontal fixe (5), des éléments de coulissement (6, 7, 100, 101) et un levier (8) s'articulant par l'une de ses extrémités sur la bielle (4) et relié aux pièces de coulissement (6, 7, 100, 101) par son autre extrémité. Les leviers (8) supportent les repose-pieds (2) à proximité des pièces de coulissement (6, 7, 100, 101) et sont reliés aux repose-pieds (2) de telle sorte que leurs mouvements d'oscillation cyclique et alternatif dans le plan vertical impriment auxdits repose-pieds un mouvement selon une trajectoire ellipsoïdale (9). Des éléments de pivotement (10, 12, 13) règlent l'orientation des repose-pieds (2) de manière à maintenir convenablement l'utilisateur en position verticale pendant les mouvements de marche ou de course. Ces éléments (10, 12, 13) sont conçus pour maintenir sur toute leur trajectoire (9) les repose-pieds (2) parallèles à la plante des pieds et pour fournir en permanence un appui à celle-ci tout entière.
