Abstract

An exercise machine comprises a base 1 and two pedals 2 coupled onto respective elastic units 3. Each elastic unit 3 is pivotally coupled to a connection board 14 via axles 32. Each elastic unit 3 has an engaging board 34 connected to an arc board 35 with a pulley or wheel 36 provided at the end. The pulley 36 may be located on a slide board 12 so that it can slide outwards when the pedal 2 is pressed by the users weight. The exercise machine may comprise a rod 4 with a handle 45 on the top for the user to hold onto, and a spring 44 on the lower end. When the user stands on the pedals 2 and jumps, the elastic units 3 may provide elasticity via the deformation of the arc board 35 to assist the user in imitating a horse riding movement for dance or exercise.

UPRIGHT HORSE RIDING EXERCISE MACHINE
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an exercise machine, and more particularly to an upright horse riding exercise machine. The user can stand on the exercise machine and bounce up and down for the popular horse riding dance.
2. Description of the Prior Art
These days, people live in small space. Besides, people are always busy at work and bear working pressure so they don't have much time to exercise.
Hence, the cardio-pulmonary function is not good and the muscular endurance is not enough. The fitness score is below the standard. When taking a walk, he/she may pant like a bull. The main reason is that they don't exercise. Some people know the importance of exercise, so they find time to exercise as soon as possible.
In fact, no time to exercise is just an excuse. For example, people can use a simple indoor exercise apparatus at home or in the office, without considering the weather or the distance to exercise. There are many different exercise machines on the market, such as, running machines, weight trainers, treadmills, dumbbells or the like. Though there are many indoor exercise machines on the market, some products have been presented to the public for decades. People may think the exercise machines are boring. In order to inspire the consumer to purchase an exercise machine, it is necessary to improve and innovate the products. In view of this, the inventor finds a horse riding dance is very popular now. If an exercise machine can combine with this kind of dance, it may satisfy the consumers and the product can be sold very well. Accordingly, the inventor of the present invention has devoted himself based on his many years of practical experiences to develop an innovated exercise machine.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The primary object of the present invention is to provide an upright horse riding exercise machine for attracting more consumers. The exercise machine provides a horse riding dance to be in the fashion. When the user stands on the exercise machine, he/she can jump up and down for upright exercise to imitate horse riding dance.
In order to achieve the aforesaid object, the upright horse riding exercise machine of the present invention comprises a base, two pedals and two elastic units.
The base comprises a bottom seat. The bottom seat has an H-like shape.
The bottom seat comprises a pair of slide boards at two outer ends thereof.
The bottom seat is provided with a plurality of pads.
A connection board is fixed to the central portion of the bottom seat. The connection board has a U shape. The connection board has an inner space.
The connection board has two pairs of through holes.
One side of the connection board has two holes.
The two pedals are coupled on top of the two elastic units. Each pedal has a connection trough on a bottom thereof.
Each elastic unit has an axle hole at one end thereof. The axle hole is disposed in the inner space of the connection board and corresponding to the relative through holes and inserted by an axle member to be positioned.
Each elastic unit comprises a fixing board next to the axle hole. The fixing board is fitted with an engaging board. The bottom of one end of the engaging board is connected with an arc board. The bottom end of the arc board is provided with a pulley. The pulley is located on the corresponding slide board of the base.
The fixing board is first connected with the connection trough of the corresponding pedal, and then connected to the engaging board.
The connection board is connected with a rod. The rod comprises a locking board at a lower end thereof. The locking board has locking holes thereon.
Locking members are inserted in the locking holes and the holes of the connection board so that the locking board is coupled to the connection board. A spring is provided on the lower end of the rod and located above the locking board. A handle is provided on the top of the rod.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Fig. 1 is an exploded view of the present invention; Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the present invention; Fig. 3 is a side schematic view of the present invention when in use; and Fig. 4 is a perspective schematic view of the present invention when in use.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Embodiments of the present invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the upright horse riding exercise machine according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a base 1, two pedals 2 and two elastic units 3.
The base 1 comprises a bottom seat 11. The bottom seat 11 has an H-like shape. The bottom seat 11 comprises a pair of slide boards 12 at two outer ends thereof. The bottom seat 11 is provided with a plurality of pads 13. A connection board 14 is fixed to the central portion of the bottom seat 11. The connection board 14 has a U shape. The connection board 14 has an inner space. The connection board 14 has two pairs of through holes 141. One side of the connection board 14 has two holes 142.
The two pedals 2 are coupled on top of the two elastic units 3. Each pedal 2 has a connection trough 21 on a bottom thereof.
Each elastic unit 3 has an axle hole 31 at one end thereof. The axle hole 31 is disposed in the inner space of the connection board 14 and corresponding to the relative through holes 141 and inserted by an axle member 32 to be positioned.
Each elastic unit 3 comprises a fixing board 33 next to the axle hole 31. The fixing board 33 is fitted with an engaging board 34. The fixing board 33 is first connected with the connection trough 21 of the corresponding pedal 2, and then connected to the engaging board 34. The bottom of one end of the engaging board 34 is connected with an arc board 35. The bottom end of the arc board 35 is provided with a pulley 36. The pulley 36 is located on the corresponding slide board 12 of the base 1.
The connection board 14 is connected with a rod 4. The rod 4 comprises a locking board 41 at a lower end thereof. The locking board 41 has locking holes 42 thereon. Locking members 43 are inserted in the locking holes 42 and the holes 142 of the connection board 14 so that the locking board 41 is coupled to the connection board 14. A spring 44 is provided on the lower end of the rod 41 and located above the locking board 41. A handle 45 is provided on the top of the rod 41.
As shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, when the present invention is assembled, the user stands on the two pedals 2 and jumps up and down through the arc board 35 of each elastic unit 3 to provide elasticity. When the pedal 2 is pressed by the user's weight, the arc board 35 will be deformed downward and the pulley 36 will slide outward on the slide board 12 so that each pedal 2 can be moved downward.
By the elasticity of the arc board 35, each pedal 2 can be bounced upward. Thus, the present invention can assist the user in exercising up and down to imitate horse riding or to dance horse riding, providing exercise, bodybuilding and amusement objects.
The rod 4 of the present invention is for the user to hold thereon for balance.
Although particular embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail for purposes of illustration, various modifications and enhancements may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
Accordingly, the present invention is not to be limited except as by the appended claims.
