Definitions

  • the invention relates to a swing handle arrangement for an exercise equipment, and more particularly, to a structure through which a leg movement of the lower body and a waist-twisting movement of the upper body can be synchronically achieved.
  • the fitness apparatus used for training the legs such as fitness bike, treadmills or elliptical cross trainers, etc. is provided with structure on which the operator's feet stand.
  • Some of the above-mentioned apparatuses include additional coupled handles on which both hands of the operator hold. However, they can be held by both hand of the operator only for conducting a forward and backward swing action that simulates the movement of the extremities when people walk or run. In other words, the upper body of the operator such as abdominal muscle can not be trained at the same time.
  • the stretching-forward action of the upper limbs may achieve the training effect of the arm strength.
  • it is not beneficial to the waist and abdominal muscles of the operator.
  • another fitness apparatuses must be used to fulfill his personal needs. As a result, the conventional apparatus requires further improvement.
  • a primary object of the invention is to provide a swing handle arrangement for an exercise equipment that achieves the effect of training the legs at the lower body and at the same time the upper body of the operator by use of a single exercise equipment. It is a further object of the present invention to provide an exercise equipment including a swing handle arrange of the above kind.
  • a swing handle arrangement through a synchronic coupled and swing movement of the upper and lower body of the operator the effect of twisting the waist and abdominal muscles of the upper body of the operator only by use of a single exercise equipment can be achieved to thereby train also the upper body when the legs at the lower body are exercised. In this way, an overall training and fitness effect is achieved, thereby increasing the application value and the body-building effect.
  • a swing handle arrangement for an exercise equipment includes a pair of drive rods driven by the pedal rods such that longitudinal drive gears fixed at the drive rods are cooperated with swing handles having the lateral drive gears for conducting a swing action.
  • a waist-twisting movement of the upper body can be synchronically achieved when the operator holds the swing handles to take exercise at his feet of the lower body.
  • FIGS. 1 through 3 A preferred embodiment of the invention is shown in FIGS. 1 through 3 that is applied to an elliptical cross trainer.
  • the preferred embodiment of the invention includes a base frame 10, a resistance load mechanism 20, two drive rods 30, and two swing handles 40.
  • the base frame 10 includes a front ground-touching rod 11, a rear ground-touching rod 12, a front support 13, and two pedal rods 14.
  • An electronic console 15 and a fixed type handle unit 16 are provided at the top of the front support 13.
  • the fixed type handle units 16 are pivotally connected to the pedal rods 14 through suspension rods 17 and connection rods 18 at both sides of the front ground-touching rod 11.
  • the resistance load mechanism 20 includes two swingable load weights 21 and a synchronic drive gear set 22. Moreover, the load weights 21 are pivotally connected to the other end of the pedal rods 14, respectively, such that a coupled relationship is created.
  • the drive rods 30 are pivotally coupled to the pedal rods 14 through the transmission rods 31 to create a coupled relationship.
  • the other end of the drive rods 30 is pivotally connected to a first cross shaft 191 of the front support 13.
  • a longitudinal drive gear 32 is positioned at the top of the drive rods 30, respectively.
  • the swing handles 40 are formed in a bent shape and pivotally coupled to a second cross shaft 192 of the front support 13.
  • the swing handles 40 further include a lateral drive gear 41 opposite to the longitudinal drive gear 32 such that a reliable engagement is achieved.
  • a synchronic movement is achieved when the operator steps on the pedal rods 14 to make a to-and-fro movement or uses his both hands to push the swing handles 40 to swing to the right and left sides.
  • the load weights 21 provide a proper exercise resistance and an inertia swing force such that a waist-twisting movement of the upper body can be synchronically achieved when the operator holds the swing handles 40 to take exercise at his feet of the lower body.
  • the handle 42 of the swing handles 40 may be designed in a pivotally coupled state such that a practical adjustment to the twisting movement of the operator's wrist is ensured and an exercise injury is avoided.
  • FIG. 8 illustrates another embodiment of the invention.
  • the longitudinal drive gear 32 of the drive rods 30 is cooperated with a single lateral drive gear 52 positioned at the bottom of the swing handles 50. In this way, the same exercise features and effects are achieved, too.
  • the present invention relates to a swing handle arrangement for an exercise equipment having a pair of drive rods driven by the pedal rods such that longitudinal drive gears fixed at the drive rods are cooperated with swing handles having the lateral drive gears for conducting a swing action.
  • a waist-twisting movement of the upper body can be synchronically achieved when the operator holds the swing handles to take exercise at his feet of the lower body.
