Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a rope type folding mechanism for an exercise treadmill.
  • a frame of conventional treadmills (for example disclosed in US 5,674,453 and US 6,033,347) is designed to be foldable in order to reduce the occupied space and to facilitate the movement thereof.
  • these products have to include an auxiliary lifting member (like a pneumatic or oil-pressurised cylinder) behind the frame in order to prevent the frame from an unexpected collapse endangering the operator or the other around. Accordingly, the whole design and use show much inconvenience.
  • this conventional design doesn't fit the old or the disable in waist or lower limbs because they have much difficulty in bending down to perform the folding movement.
  • a preferred embodiment of the present invention mainly includes a U-shaped handrail 10, two supporting arms 20, a frame 30, a front support 40, a motorised assembly 50 and a rear treading plate 60.
  • the frame 30 has a platform 31, whereby the front and rear ends of said platform 31 are fitted with a front and rear roller 32, 33 between which a treadmill walking belt 34 circles.
  • the rear roller 33 of the frame 30 is positioned on horizontal parts 21 of the supporting arms 20 by means of a first pivot 35.
  • the motorised assembly 50 comprises a motor 51, a belt 52, a driven wheel 53 and a protection cover 54.
  • the motor 51 is fixed behind the horizontal parts 21 of the supporting arms 20 by means of a fastening member.
  • the belt 52 extends between a power output shaft 56 and the driven wheel 53 while the rear roller 33 is driven by the driven wheel 53 for a rotational movement of the treadmill walking belt 34.
  • Each end of the U-shaped handrail 10 is provided with a rope wheel 11 whose shaft 12 is pivotably mounted on the extension part 22 at the top of each of the supporting arms 20. Thereafter, a strong rope 70 is fixed at one side of the rope wheel 11 and pulled downward to the bottom 36 of the frame 30.
  • the rope wheel 11 is also rotated to pull the strong rope 70 upward.
  • the frame 30 is raised up to the top by means that the rear roller 33 is turned around the first pivot 35.
