Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a treadmill, and more particularly, to a tilting and folding device for a treadmill.
  • the conventional treadmill is a commonly used interior exerciser and generally comprises folding device which allows the users to fold the treadmill for convenience of storage and transportation.
  • an exercise treadmill which includes a control panel; a moving tread belt including, at either side, a front contact member and a slide having a rear first sensor and a front second sensor; a link assembly; a lift assembly including a motor, a rotating direction change member, and a threaded movable member; a spring-biased direction switching assembly, at either side, including a rear pivotal detent bar, a pivotal returning bar having a front stop and a rear end connected to the detent bar, and a pivotal rail including first and second sections and an intermediate joint, and a lock member. Pressing a key will rotate the motor until a predetermined height of the tread belt is reached with second pivots contacted the second sensors to enable the rotating direction change member to change the motor to a counterclockwise rotation. The motor then rotates until the tread belt is folded.
  • a treadmill which includes a handle device disposed on a seat, a tread base rotatable between a downward working position and an upward folding position.
  • Two arms and two levers and two bars are pivotally secured between the tread base and the seat, for allowing the tread base to be rotated relative to the seat.
  • a tube may be secured to the arms, a bolt is threaded with the tube, and a motor may be coupled to the bolt for rotating the bolt to move the tube away from and toward the bolt, and thus to rotate the tread base between the downward working position and the upward folding positions.
  • U.S. Patent No. 5,855,537 discloses a powered folding treadmill apparatus and method, and comprises a track bed 10 with two support legs 12, 14 on two sides of the track bed 10. Each of the two support legs 12, 14 has an inclined motor 36/38 located therein so as to drive the correspondent linear actuator 44 to extend and retract.
  • the linear actuator When the linear actuator is activated, the front end of the track bed can be controlled to be lifted or lowered.
  • the linear actuator is lowered, which pivots an arm 48, and the rear end of the track bed is lifted to an upright position by the engagement of the male and female spline structures 54, 58.
  • the lifting of the track bed is made by the inclined motor, the linear actuator and the arm of each of the two support legs.
  • the arm is lifted by the linear actuator which is driven by the inclined motor.
  • the track bed is to be folded, the rear end of the track bed is lifted, the arm is lowered by the linear actuator which is driven by the inclined motor, and the male and female spline structures 54, 58 are engaged with each other.
  • the lifting action of the front end of the track bed and the lifting action of the rear end of the track bed are made by two individual actions. The two individual actions require precisely arrangement of the related parts and the high cost is incurred.
  • the two sides of the track bed should be simultaneously lifted or lowered.
  • the two actions are made by two individual inclined motors, when the two inclined motors are not controlled to be operated simultaneously due to the design of the electric circuits, the transmission between the inclined motors and the linear actuators, between the inclined motors and the arms or between the male and female spline structures has a time lag, the two sides of the track bed cannot move simultaneously.
  • the design and the assembling processes have to be precise enough to achieve the purposes.
  • the large number of parts in the inclined motors, the linear actuators and the arms also make the cost be high and have less competition in the market.
  • the present invention intends to provide a tilting and folding device for a treadmill to improve the shortcomings of the conventional folding devices.
  • the primary object of the present invention is to provide a tilting and folding device of a treadmill wherein the folding device uses only one actuator and one arm to lift the track bed to the upright position so as to improve the shortcomings of the conventional folding device.
