Abstract

An electrical cycling exerciser includes a motor 3, two pedals 2 attached to a shaft 11, a gear 42 mounted to the shaft 11 and an overload clutch 43 to allow the pedals and shaft to slip relative to the gear 42 if the pedals are subject to a force exceeding a safe level. The overload clutch 43 may be received in the gear 42. The clutch 43 includes grooves 45 for locating elastic elements 5 and inserts 6. The gear 42 includes radial insertion grooves 422 for receiving the inserts 6. The inserts 6 are biassed into the insertion grooves 422 allowing the gear 42 and shaft 11 to turn jointly until excessive force is applied to the pedals and the inserts are forced against the biase out of the insertion grooves 422 causing the gear 42 to rotate relative to the shaft 11. The grooves 45 may be placed on the inside surface of the gear 11 (figure 6). The inserts 6 may move along the axil of the shaft (figure 9). The overload clutch may be mounted on shaft 52.

Description

Transmission Device for an Electric Cycling Exerciser
Backaround of the Invention
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a transmission device for an electric cycling exerciser.
2. Description of the Related Art
Besides poor blood circulation, the body of a person that has sat for hours would become stiff and the person would feel tired. An electric cycling exerciser is provided to exercise the user's legs while the user is sitting or lying down on the floor, thereby improving the blood circulation. Fig. 11 of the drawings illustrates a conventional electric cycling exerciser comprising a motor 1' having an output shaft 11', a gear 2' meshed with the output shaft 11' of the motor 1', and two pedals 3' operably connected to the gear 2'. When the motor 1' is turned on, the pedals 3' are turned. Nevertheless, such an electric cycling exerciser has the following drawbacks. First, when the user's foot has not yet firmly stepped on the respective pedal 3', the user's foot would fall and thus be injured by the turning pedal 3'. The injury is more serious if the foot is stuck, as the motor 1' keeps running. Secondly, if the user's foot steps on the respective pedal 3' with a greater force or drives the respective pedal 3' in a reverse direction, this would feed back to the motor 1' such that the motor 1' could not drive the gear 2' and the respective pedal 3' in a normal condition.
As a result, the temperature of the motor 1' would rise and thus cause damage to the motor 1'.
Summary of the Invention

Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiments
Referring to Figs. 1 through 3, an electric cycling exerciser in accordance with the present invention generally comprises a housing 1, a pair of pedals 2, a motor 3, and a gear train. A shaft 11 is rotatably mounted to the housing 1 and has two ends to which the pedals 2 are respectively attached through a crank (not labeled) to turn therewith. The motor 3 includes an output shaft 31 for driving the gear train. The output shaft 31 may be in the form of a worm or a threaded rod.
The gear train in this embodiment includes a first gear 41 meshed with the output shaft 31 and a second gear 42. The first gear 41 is rotatably mounted by a shaft 52 to a gear box 50 and includes a reduced portion 44 having a plurality of teeth on an outer periphery thereof. The second gear 42 is rotatably mounted on the shaft 11. The second gear 42 meshes with the reduced portion 44 of the first gear 41. The second gear 42 further includes a central hole 421 for receiving a wheel 43.
The second gear 42 further includes an insertion section. In this embodiment, the second gear 42 has two diametrically disposed insertion grooves 422 in an inner periphery defining the central hole 421 of the second gear 42. The wheel 43 includes a pair of diametrically disposed grooves 45 in an outer periphery thereof, each groove 45 receiving an elastic element 5 and an insert 6 therein. Each elastic element 5 has a first end attached to the wheel 43 and a second end attached to an associated insert 6.
Referring to Fig. 4, each insert 6 is biased by an associated elastic element into an associated insertion groove 422 of the second gear 42. Thus, the wheel 43 is turned together with the second gear 42. As a result, when the motor 3 is turned on, the pedals 2 are turned through transmission by the first gear 41, the second gear 42, and the wheel 43. The user's feet stepping on the pedals 2 are carried and thus exercised.
Referring to Figs. 2 and 5, when the user's foot slips from the respective pedal 2 into a gap "a" between the respective pedal 2 and the housing 1, the wheel 43 cannot turn but the second gear 42 keeps turning. Each insertion 6 is so configured that it is disengaged from the associated insertion groove 422 of the second gear 42 when the wheel 43 cannot turn. Thus, the user's foot would not be injured by the pedal 2 due to continuous running of the motor 3, and the second gear 42 turns idly. The wall defining the insertion groove 422 impinges the respective insert 6 and thus sounds to thereby warn the user. The operation of the motor 3 remains the same, eliminating the risk of damage by high temperature.
In a case that the user's foot exerts a force on the respective pedal 2 greater than the engaging force between the insert 6 and the respective insertion groove 422, the insert 6 is disengaged from the respective insertion groove 422. Again, the second gear 42 turns idly without turning the pedals 2, and damage to the motor 3 is avoided. Again, the wall defining the insertion groove 422 impinges the respective insert 6 and thus warns the user by sounds.
Fig. 6 illustrates another embodiment of the invention, wherein the second gear (now designated by 71) has a wheel 72 received therein. The elastic elements 5 and the inserts 6 are mounted in the second gear 71, and two insertion grooves 721 are defined in the wheel 72. Operation of this embodiment is identical to that of the first embodiment.
Fig. 7 illustrates a further embodiment of the invention, wherein the insertion grooves (now designated by 731) are defined in the first gear (now designated by 73), and a wheel 74 is mounted in the first gear 73. The wheel 74 is connected to the second gear (now designated by 75) to which the pedals 2 are operably attached. The elastic elements 5 and the insertions 6 are mounted in the wheel 74 to cooperate with the insertion grooves 731.
Operation of this embodiment is identical to that of the first embodiment.
Alternatively, the elastic elements 5 and the inserts 6 can be mounted in the first gear 73, and the insertion grooves can be defined in the wheel 74 without adversely affecting its function.
Figs. 8 and 9 illustrate still another embodiment of the invention, wherein the second gear (now designated by 76) has a pair of diametrically disposed insertion grooves 761 provided on a side of the second gear 76. A safety member 77 is securely mounted on the shaft 11 of the cycling exerciser to turn therewith. Two protrusions 771 are diametrically formed on the safety member 77. An elastic element 5 has a first end attached to a respective protrusion 771, and an insert 6 is attached to a second end of the elastic element 5. Operation of this embodiment is similar to that of the above embodiments.
Fig. 10 illustrates yet another embodiment of the invention, wherein the cycling exerciser includes only one gear 78 rotatably mounted on the shaft 11.
The gear 78 includes, e.g., two diametrically disposed insertion grooves 781.
A wheel 79 is mounted in the gear 78 and includes two grooves (not labeled) each receiving an elastic element 5 and an insert 6 therein. The wheel 79 is securely mounted on the shaft 11 to turn therewith. Operation of this embodiment is similar to the above embodiments. Alternatively, the elastic elements 5 and the inserts 6 can be mounted in the gear 78, and the insertion grooves can be defined in the wheel 79 without adversely affecting its function.
The wheels in Figs. 1-7 and Fig. 10 can be deemed as a safety member. The gear train in Figs. 1-9 can be replaced with other gear trains having more than two gears.
Although the invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiments, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.
