Definitions

  • the present invention relates to fitness equipment, especially to a heel-lifting elliptical machine.
  • the conventional stepping machine comprises a foundation tiltably mounted with linkages, and the linkages are vertically staggered on the foundation and laterally disposed on two sides of the foundation.
  • a free end of each one of the linkages comprises a pedal.
  • a hydraulic or a pneumatic damper is mounted on a pivot shaft pivoted on the linkage, or a damper is directly mounted on the linkage, such that when the user steps on the pedals right and left alternately and make the linkages swing up and down, the user can exercise through the movement resisted by the damper.
  • the linkage or the pivot shaft of the conventional stepping machine is mounted with the damper, the user may be directly aware of an obstruction and a noise generated by the damper when stepping on the pedals such that the stepping movement is not smooth. Besides, a movement route of the conventional stepping machine is simply up and down, and thus the user's feet cannot exercise in various ways.
  • the conventional air walker machine comprises a driving wheel of a foundation tiltably mounted with a linkage assembly, and the linkage assembly is mounted with pedals.
  • the stepping movement drives the linkage assembly to tilt and the driving wheel to rotate, and the pedals move along a sliding route backward and forward alternately such that the user can exercise on the conventional air walker machine.
  • the conventional air walker machine merely provides the sliding route in backward and forward directions, so the user cannot do vertical aerobic exercise and the exercise intensity is inadequate.
  • the present invention provides a heel-lifting elliptical machine to mitigate or obviate the aforementioned problems.
  • the main objective of the present invention is to provide a heel-lifting elliptical machine. Comparing to the conventional air walker machine which merely provides a back-and-forth route, the heel-lifting elliptical machine is capable of significantly decreasing the obstruction and the noise and increasing exercise intensity with vertical sliding.
  • the heel-lifting elliptical machine comprises:
  • each of the pedal assemblies comprises:
  • each of the cranks is formed an L-shaped, and comprises:
  • a preferred heel-lifting elliptical machine wherein the rotation rod comprises:
  • a preferred heel-lifting elliptical machine wherein the foundation comprises a holding portion mounted on an upper portion of the foundation.
  • the heel-lifting elliptical machine of the present invention may significantly decrease the obstruction and the noise.
  • the rotation rod drives the driving wheel to rotate in a circle
  • the pedal assemblies joined with the cranks provide a vertical ellipse route, and the pedals move along with the changing positions of the cranks and swing and tilt backward and forward continuously with respect to the foundation, such that the heels can be lifted and the ankles can swing along with the pedals.
  • a heel-lifting elliptical machine in accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention comprises a foundation 10, two linkage assemblies 20 and two pedal assemblies 30.
  • the foundation 10 forms an "H" shaped base portion 11 at a bottom of the foundation 10, a quadrilateral frame portion 12 at a middle of the foundation 10, and a holding portion 13 at an upper portion of the foundation 10.
  • the foundation 10 comprises a swing shaft 14, an uprightly rotatable driving wheel 15, a flywheel 16 and a driving belt 17.
  • the swing shaft 14 is mounted on a lower portion of a front of the frame portion 12.
  • the driving wheel 15 is mounted on an upper portion of a rear of the frame portion 12, and a center of the driving wheel 15 forms a driving shaft 150 which is rotatably mounted through the frame portion 12 of the foundation 10.
  • the flywheel 16 is mounted on a middle of the frame portion 12 and corresponded to the driving wheel 15.
  • the driving belt 17 connects to the driving wheel 15 and the flywheel 16.
  • the two linkage assemblies 20 are mounted on two sides of the frame portion 12 of the foundation 10 respectively, are staggered from each other, and are joined to two ends of the driving shaft 150 of the driving wheel 15.
  • Each of the linkage assemblies 20 comprises a rotation rod 21, a crank 22 and a swing arm 23.
  • An end of the rotation rod 21 is rotatably mounted around the driving shaft 150 of the driving wheel 15, and another end of the rotation rod 21 comprises a first pivot shaft 210.
  • An upper end of the crank 22 is pivotably mounted on the first pivot shaft 210, and a lower end of the crank 22 comprises a second pivot shaft 220.
  • a front end of the swing arm 23 is pivotably mounted on the swing shaft 14, a rear end of the swing arm 23 is pivotably mounted on the second pivot shaft 220 of the lower end of the crank 22.
  • the two pedal assemblies 30 are mounted securely adjacent to the lower ends of the two cranks 22 respectively.
  • Each of the pedal assemblies 30 comprises a support rod 31, a fixing rod 32 and a pedal 33.
  • a front end of the support rod 31 is mounted securely adjacent to the lower end of the crank 22, and a rear end of the support rod 31 extends toward the rear of the foundation 10.
  • the fixing rod 32 is mounted securely at the lower end of the crank 22 and abutted on a middle of the support rod 31.
  • the pedal 33 is mounted securely on the support rod 31.
  • the user steps on the pedals 33 of the two pedal assemblies 30 and holds the holding portion 13 of the foundation 10.
  • the fixing rods 32 and the support rods 31 of the pedal assemblies 30 drive the cranks 22.
  • the rotation rods 21 which are rotatably mounted with the upper ends of the cranks 22 move in circle routes around the driving shaft 150, and drive the driving wheel 15 and flywheel 16 to rotate via driving belt 17 such that the resistance can be adjusted.
  • the lower ends of the cranks 22 drive the swing arms 23 to tilt up and down with respect to the swing shaft 14.
  • the pedal assemblies 30 connected to the cranks 22 form vertical ellipse routes.
  • the pedals 33 repeatedly swing backward and forward along with the changing positions of the cranks 22.
  • the pedal assemblies 30 With the user continuously stepping on the pedals 33, the pedal assemblies 30 repeatedly move along in the vertical ellipse routes (as the imaginary lines illustrated in Figs. 4 to 7 ), and the pedals 33 tilt backward and forward continuously.
  • the heels can be lifted and the ankles can swing slightly along with the pedals 33.
  • each of the cranks 22A comprises a tilt portion 221A and a pedal-connecting portion 222A, and each of the cranks 22A is formed an L-shaped.
  • An angle between the tilt portion 221A and the pedal-connecting portion 222A is an obtuse angle.
  • the tilt portion 221A extends upward, and a top end of the tilt portion 221A is pivotably mounted at said another end of the rotation rod 21.
  • the pedal-connecting portion 222A is below the tilt portion 221A and extends toward the rear of the foundation 10.
  • the rear end of the swing arm 23 is pivotably mounted on a rear end of the pedal-connecting portion 222A.
  • the pedal 33A of the pedal assemblies 30 are mounted securely on and along with the pedal-connecting portion 222A of the cranks 22A respectively.
  • the heel-lifting elliptical machine of the present invention comprises the pedal assemblies 30 connected to the cranks 22 which are connected to the rotation rod 21 for driving the driving wheel 15 and driving the flywheel 16 via the driving belt 17.
  • the pedal assemblies 30 of the present invention do not directly connect to the driving wheel 15 and the flywheel 16, which decreases the obstruction and the noise significantly and makes the user feel smooth and comfortable.
  • the heel-lifting elliptical machine of the present invention provides higher exercise intensity with the linkage assemblies 20 which can drive the pedal assemblies 30 to move along in the vertical ellipse route.
  • the exercise intensity also can be increased by the pedals 33 of the present invention swinging backward and forward along with the positions of the cranks 22 such that motion ranges of the ankles is broader.
