Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an extendable swing arm assembly for a treadmill, and more particular to an extendable swing arm assembly for a treadmill having an upright frame, a base frame, a front support, and a rear support, the upright frame having an electronic console and two arm supports at both sides thereof, a running band surrounding the base frame for an in-place rotation, the treadmill having two mounting tubes in each of which one of two extendable swing arm assemblies is received so that both hands of the operator can hold on the extendable swing arm assemblies for a forward and backward movement.
  • rocker arms of the above mentioned disclosures are swung in parabolic form since they are composed of a single element in combination with a single pivotal point. This point is evidently contrary to the natural exercise mode of the human body so that the user feels uncomfortably during the exercise session when he holds the rocker arms.
  • the object of the present invention is to remove the above-mentioned drawbacks.
  • a resistance element e.g. balance weight, small-type hydraulic cylinder unit, etc.
  • an extendable swing arm assembly for a treadmill 10 in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention includes an upright frame 12, a base frame 14, a front support 16 and a rear support 18.
  • the upright frame 12 has an electronic console 20 and two arm supports 22 at both sides thereof.
  • a running band surrounds the base frame 14 for an in-place rotation.
  • the treadmill 10 has two mounting tubes 24 in each of which one extendable swing arm assembly 30 is received. Both hands of the operator can hold on the extendable swing arm assemblies 30 for a forward and backward movement.
  • Both e x-tendable swing arm assemblies 30 have the same configuration and each include an angled support 31 with an extension arm 311, a swing arm 32 with a handle 321, a mounting yoke 33 with a supporting rod 331, and a resistance element 34.
  • the middle part of the angled support 31 is pivotally attached to the mounting yoke 33.
  • the swing arm 32 is inserted from an open end of the angled support 31 into the angled support 31 and preloaded by a spring 312 so that the swing arm 32 moves in an extended and retracted position.
  • the supporting rod 331 at the bottom of the mounting yoke 33 is inserted into the mounting tubes 24.
  • the resi stance element 34 is pivoted at the rear end of the extension arm 311 and a base 332 of the supporting rod 331.
  • the above described mounting tube 24 is installed at the internal side of the upright frame 12 of the treadmill 10. So it can determine the position of the extendable swing arm assembly 30 and have the pivotal movement in proper direction.
  • the movement path of the extendable swing arm assembly 30 corresponds to the swinging curvature of user's arms. So the expected effect is reached.
  • a metal cap 35 is installed inside the near end of the angled support 31.
  • the resistance element 34 is constructed as spring, hydraulic cylinder, preloaded hydraulic cylinder, etc. with the resisting function.
  • the treadmill utilizes the swing arm 32 or the handle 321.
  • One or more heavy objects can hang on them (not shown). So it can bring an additional resistance to the movement so as to reach a better training effect on the muscle.
  • a bearing 26 can be installed between them.
  • a screw hole 313 is provided in a proper position of the angled support 31.
  • an adjusting screw 40 with an air-guiding slot 41 different air flow will cause different air pressure.
  • the air flow of the air-guiding slot 41 will change correspond ingly, if the screwing depth of the adjusting screw 40 is altered. So the operator can adjust the drawing resistance letween the swing arm 32 and the angled support 31 freely.
  • the resistance element 34 can be shifted to one side near the operator. But it has the same exercise effect. This design features that the resistance is created only when the resistance element 34 is pressed.
