Abstract

A multi-functional exerciser includes a seat cushion 20 fixed on and over a base frame 10, a generally V-shaped supporting rod 30 pivoted to the base frame 10 and a generally inverted V-shaped driven rod 40. The supporting rod 30 abuts against an inclined adjustment bolt 70 which can be adjusted to vary the inclination angle of the supporting rod 30 relative to the base frame 10. A lower tension spring 50 interconnects a horizontal rod of the base frame 10 and a lower horizontal rod of the supporting rod 30, thereby biasing the supporting rod 30 to press against the bolt 70. An upper tension spring 60 connects a selected one of upper and lower horizontal rods of the driven rod 40 to an upper horizontal rod of the supporting rod 30, thereby creating a resistance to relative rotation between the driven rod 40 and the supporting rod 30.

Description

1 2-3-36791 MULTI-FUNCTIONAL EXERCISER This invention relates to an
exerciser, more particularly to a multi - functional exerciser which can be operated in different manners for exercising the arms, legs and chest of the user.
Although various multi-functional exercisers have been developed, most of them are bulky and expensive.
The object of this invention is to provide a compact and inexpensive multi-functional exerciser.
According to this invention, A multi -functional exerciser includes:
a base frame having a left side with a threaded hole and a fixed horizontal rod that extends outwardly from the left side; a seat cushion fixed on and over the base frame; an inclined adjustment bolt engaged threadably within the threaded hole in the base frame; a generally V-shaped supporting rod having a lower end portion that is pivoted to the left side of the base frame and that abuts against an upper end of the adjustment bolt in such a manner that the supporting rod is generally perpendicular to the adjustment bolt, the adjustment bolt being capable of being turned on the base frame so as to rotate the supporting rod about a horizontal axis, thereby varying an inclination angle of the supporting rod relative to the base frame, the supporting rod further having a f ixed upper horizontal rod and a f ixed lower horizontal rod which are f ixed at an intermediate 2 portion of the supporting rod, the upper horizontal rod being located above the lower horizontal rod; a generally inverted V-shaped driven rod having a pivotal portion which is pivoted to an upper end portion of the supporting rod, an upper end portion with a fixed horizontal grip, a f ixed upper horizontal rod and a f ixed lower horizontal rod, the pivotal portion being located between the upper and lower horizontal rods of the driven rod, the driven rod being rotatable about a horizontal axis relative to the supporting rod; a lower tension spring interconnecting the horizontal rod of the base f rame and the lower horizontal rod of the supporting rod, thereby biasing the supporting rod to press against the adjustment bolt; and an upper tension spring connecting a selected one of the upper and lower horizontal rods of the driven rod to the upper horizontal rod of the supporting rod so as to position the driven rod relative to the supporting rod, thereby creating a resistance to relative rotation between the driven rod and the supporting rod when the selected one of the upper and lower horizontal rods of the driven rod is forced to turn away from the upper horizontal rod of the supporting rod. other f eatures and advantages of this invention will become apparent in the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment of this invention, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
1 3 Fig. 1 is an exploded view of the preferred embodiment of a multifunctional exerciser according to this invention; Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the preferred embodiment; Fig. 3 illustrates how the preferred embodiment is operated to exercise the arms of the user; Fig. 4 illustrates how the preferred embodiment is operated to exercise the chest of the user; Figs. 5, 6 and 7 illustrate how the preferred embodiment is operated in different manners to exercise the legs of the user; and Fig. 8 illustrates how the preferred embodiment is folded.
Referring to Figs. 1, 2 and 3, a preferred embodiment of a multifunctional exerciser according to this invention is shown to include a base frame 10, a seat cushion 20, a generally V-shaped supporting rod 30 (see Figs. 3 and 4), a driven rod assembly 40, a lower tension spring 50, an upper tension spring 60, an inclined adjustment bolt 70 with a rubber head 71 fixed thereon, a horizontal pivot pin 80 and two pairs of generally U-shaped spring elements 90.
The base frame 10 is generally U-shaped and includes a left rail 11 at the left side, a front rail 12 located at a front side of the frame 10 and connected f ixedly to a front end portion of the left rail 11, and a rear rail 13 located at a rear side of the frame 10 and connected fixedly to a rear end portion of the left rail 11. The left rail 11 includes two opposed upstanding plates 14, each of which is formed with a pivot hole 141, 142, a nut 15 f ixed on the lef t rail 11 and having a threaded 1 4 hole 151 within which the adjustment bolt 70 is engaged threadably, and a fixed horizontal rod 16 which extends outwardly from the left rail 11.
The seat cushion 20 is provided with two fixed nuts 211 on a bottom surface thereof. Two bolts 22 (only one is shown in Fig. 1 for the sake of clarity) extend through holes 121, 131 formed in the front and rear rails 12, 13 to engage the nuts 211, thereby fixing the seat cushion 20 on and over the base frame 10.
The supporting rod 30 has a lower straight rod section 31 and an upper straight rod section 32. The lower straight rod section 31 has a lower end portion formed with a pivot hole 311. The pivot pin 80 extends through the pivot holes 141, 142 in the base frame 10 and the pivot hole 311 in the supporting rod 30, thereby mounting the supporting rod 30 rotatably on the base frame 10. The lower straight rod section 31 abuts against the head 71 of the adjustment bolt 70 at the lower end portion thereof in such a manner that the rod section 31 is generally perpendicular to the adjustment bolt 70. The adjustment bolt 70 can be turned upward or downward on the base frame 10 so as to rotate the supporting rod 30 about the pivot pin 80, thereby varying the inclination angle of the supporting rod 30 relative to the base frame 10. The lower straight rod section 31 further includes a fixed lower horizontal rod 33 which is located above the pivot hole 311, and a fixed upper horizontal rod 34 which is located above the lower horizontal rod 33. The upper straight rod section 32 is provided with a fixed horizontal pivot pin 321.
The driven rod assembly 40 includes a generally inverted V-shaped driven rod 41, a horizontal grip 42 which is fixed to an upper end of the driven rod 4 1, a fixed upper horizontal rod 43, a fixed lower horizontal lower rod 44, and a pivotal portion formed with a pivot hole 411 and disposed between the upper and lower horizontal rods 43, 44. The horizontal pivot pin 321 of the supporting rod 30 extends through the pivot hole 411 in the driven rod 411 to engage a nut 322, thereby mounting the driven rod 40 rotatably on the supporting rod 30.
Each of the lower and upper tension springs 50, 60 is an endless elastic belt which is provided with two fixed sleeves 51, 61 that are sleeved respectively on two of the horizontal rod 16 of the base frame 10, the horizontal rods 33, 34 of the supporting rod 30 and the horizontal rods 43, 44 of the driven rod 40. As illustrated, the lower tension spring 50 is trained between the horizontal rod 16 of the base frame 10 and the lower horizontal rod 33 of the supporting rod 30, thereby biasing the supporting rod 30 to press against the adjustment bolt 70. The upper tension spring 60 is trained between the upper horizontal -rod 34 of the supporting rod 30 and a selected one of the horizontal rods 43, 44 of the driven rod 40 so as to position the driven rod 40 relative to the supporting rod 30, thereby creating a resistance to relative rotation between the driven rod 40 and the supporting rod 30 when the selected one of the horizontal rods 43, 44 of the driven rod 40 is forced 6 to turn away from the upper horizontal rod 34 of the supporting rod 30 in response to the actuation of the grip 42.
As shown by the solid lines in Fig. 2, the upper tension spring 60 connects the rod 34 to the rod 44. As shown by the phantom lines in Fig. 2, the upper tension spring 60 connects the rod 34 to the rod 43.
Referring to Figs. 1 and 2, each of the horizontal rods 16, 33, 34, 43 and 44 includes a tubular hollow body (T) (see Fig. 1) having an open outer end (T1), and a radial through hole (H) formed through a wall of the outer end portion of the tubular hollow body (T). A generally U-shaped spring element 90 is disposed removably in the tubular hollow body (T) and is f ormed integrally with a push rod 91 that is biased to extend outwardly from the tubular hollow body (T) through the through hole (H) so as to prevent removal of a respective one of the springs 50, 60 from the tubular hollow body (T), and so that the push rod 91 can be pushed into the tubular hollow body (T) to permit removal of the respective one of the springs 50, 60 from the tubular hollow body (T). A stopper 92 is press f itted within the outer end (T1) of the tubular hollow body (T), thereby preventing removal of the spring element 90 from the tubular hollow body (T).
In use, the exerciser of this invention can be operated in at least five modes, which are illustrated in Figs. 3 to 7, respectively.
Referring to Fig. 3, the upper tension spring 60 is trained between the rods 33, 44. The user sits on the seat cushion 20 7 and pushes the grip 42 downward with the use of hands to exercise his arms.
Referring to Fig. 4, the upper tension spring 60 is trained between the rods 33, 43. The user sits on the seat cushion 20 and pushes the grip 42 upward with the use of hands to exercise his arms.
Referring to Fig. 5, the upper tension spring 60 is trained between the rods 33, 44. The user lies obliquely on the seat cushion 20 and pushes the grip 42 downward with the use of one leg to exercise the same.
Referring to Fig. 6, the upper tension spring 60 is trained between the rods 33, 43. The user lies obliquely on the seat cushion 20 and pushes the grip 42 upward with the use of one leg to exercise the same.
Referring to Fig. 7, the upper tension spring 60 is trained between the rods 33, 44. The user kneels on the seat cushion 20 and pushes the grip 42 outward with the use of one foot to exercise one of his legs.
Referring to Fig. 8, when the lef t sleeve 61 of the upper tension spring 60 is removed from the supporting rod 30 and when the adjustment bolt 70 is turned downward relative to the base frame 10 to contact the head 71 of the adjustment bolt 70 with the base frame 10, the supporting rod 30 and the driven rod 40 can be folded on the seat cushion 20.
