1 is a perspective view of a horse-riding bicycle according to the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, the horse-riding bicycle of the present invention generates a base 100, a handle part 110, a saddle 15, and a rotational motion and converts the rotational motion into a linear motion 130. It includes.

The handle part 114 installed on the base 100 includes a handle support 112 and a handle 114. The lower end of the handle support 112 is installed on the base 100, the handle 114 is attached to the upper portion of the handle support 112 to maintain the balance by holding the exerciser by hand during exercise. On the other hand, the handle support 112 is preferably fixed to the base 100 by welding or the like so that the exerciser can safely move by holding the handle 114 to prevent shaking. The handle support 112 may be installed in a straight bar shape perpendicular to the base 100. However, when the upper portion 112 'is formed to be inclined with respect to the base 100, the handle support 112 may be installed at the side of the handle support 110. The motion conversion unit 130 can be installed in close contact, thus making the overall size of the horse-riding bicycle compact.

The saddle 150 includes a saddle support 154 and a saddle 152. A saddle 152 is provided at one end of the saddle support 154, and the other end of the support 154 is pivotally installed at an intermediate portion 116 of the handle support 110. Therefore, as described below, the saddle support 154 pivots about the middle portion 116 of the handle support 110 even when the saddle support 154 moves up and down, that is, in the direction A of FIG. 1. Therefore, stable up and down movement can be obtained. The portion 154 ″ supporting the saddle 152 of the saddle support 154 is formed to be inclined with respect to the base 100 so that it is possible to closely install the motion converter 130 installed under the saddle support 154. Therefore, as described above, the overall size of the horse-riding bicycle can be made more compact. When the portion 154 ′ of the saddle support extending from the inclined portion 154 ″ to the middle portion 116 of the handle support 112 is formed in a wavy pattern, the weight of the athlete sitting on the saddle 152 is increased. It is possible to prevent the concentrated force from being applied to any part of the stable support 154, so that excessive force is applied to the middle portion 116 of the handle support 112, which forms the central axis of the pivoting motion. You can prevent it.

The lower portion of the saddle support 150 is provided with a motion conversion unit 130 for generating a rotational motion and converting the rotational motion into a linear motion. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the motion conversion unit. Referring to FIG. 2, the motion converter 130 includes a pair of motion converter support 132, a pair of disks 135 rotatably opposed to the support 132, and each disk 135. And a sprocket 136 installed between one of the pair of disks 135 and the pedal 134, respectively. It further comprises a cam member (138) rotatably installed between). Hereinafter, the structure of the motion conversion unit 130 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 2.

As shown, the pair of pedals 134 are fixed to the side of each of the pair of disk 135 through the bearing member 233, respectively, when the pedal is rotated, the disk is also rotated together, the pedal 134 ) And the bearing member 233 located between the disk 135 is fixed to the upper end of the motion conversion unit support 132 by fixing means such as bolts and nuts. The pair of pedals 134 as described above are different from each other in the radial direction of the disk 135, unlike conventional exercise equipment in which each pedal is installed to face each other in the radial direction of the disk 135. It is installed to face. Therefore, unlike the conventional exercise equipment that must step on the left and right pedals alternately, the horse-riding bicycle of the present invention is designed to step on a pair of pedals simultaneously with both feet, so that excessive force is not applied to the knee joint, so that the knee joint You can prevent the crowd from coming on. The sprocket 136 is fixedly installed between the bearing member 233 and the disk 135 on either the left or the right side, and rotates together when the disk 135 rotates. The sprocket 136 is for connecting the motion load member 142 and the motion conversion unit 130 described below by a chain, or may be changed to an appropriate member when using other means such as a belt as a connection means. .

As shown in FIG. 2, the lower end of the cam member 138 is spoken near the outer circumference of the disk 135 between the pair of disks 135. The upper end of the cam member is spoken to the connecting portion 140 of the saddle support 154. Therefore, when the athlete sits on the saddle 152 and rotates the pedal one time, the disk 135 rotates one time and the saddle support is approximately in the direction A of FIG. 1 by the action of the cam member 138 between the disks 135. The vertical movement is performed by the diameter distance of the disk 135. As a result, the athlete sitting in the saddle also bends and stretches his knees while sitting in the saddle, moving up and down as if riding a horse. Therefore, unlike the conventional Indian bicycle whose main purpose is to strengthen the cardiopulmonary function by simply stepping on the left and right pedals while sitting on the saddle, the horse-riding bicycle of the present invention performs the exercise in which the knees are bent and stretched while simultaneously pressing the pedals on the left and right sides. At the same time, it is effective in strengthening the cardiopulmonary function as well as the muscles of the legs, especially the thigh muscles.

Again, referring to FIG. 1, the horse-riding bicycle of the present invention may further include an exercise load member 142. The exercise load member 142 is rotatably installed on a support fixed to the base, and is connected to the sprocket 136 of the exercise conversion unit 130 by a chain or the like, thereby increasing the resistance force felt by the athlete when pedaling, thereby increasing the exercise effect. Can increase. Such an exercise load may be directly changed by the exerciser to the appropriate exercise load member 142 by hand in accordance with the strength of the exerciser, or may be further provided with a control unit which may automatically change the exercise load in this way, although not shown.

The horse-riding bicycle of the present invention may further include a fixing rod that allows the bicycle to be more securely fixed to the base as shown in 158 of FIG. 1.

Hereinafter, the operation principle of the horse-riding bicycle of the present invention.

First, when an athlete sits on the saddle 152 and grabs the handle 114 with his hand and presses the pedal 132 simultaneously with his feet, the pair of disks 135 rotate. Here, the horse-riding bicycle of the present invention, since the pedals 132 are installed in the radial direction of the disk 135 so as to face the same direction, unlike the conventional Indian bicycles, the pedal 132 must be stepped at the same time. The effect is as already described. When the disk 135 is rotated, the lower part of the disk 135 also rotates between the disk 135 and the cam member 138 protruded near the outer periphery of the disk, and thus is connected to the top of the cam member 138. The saddle support also moves up and down with respect to the base 100 about its pivot axis 116. That is, the saddle support 154 vertically moves by the diameter distance of the disk 135 in the direction A of FIG. 1, so that the saddle 152 fixed to one end of the saddle support 154 is also A of FIG. 1. The vertical movement in the direction. As a result, the person sitting on the saddle 152 is bent and stretched while holding the pedal 134 and exercising in the same way as riding a horse.

In the foregoing specification, the present invention has been described with reference to specific exemplary embodiments of the present invention. However, it is clear that various modifications and variations can be made within the scope of the appended claims or equivalents upon reading and understanding the present application. The specification and drawings are, accordingly, to be regarded in an illustrative rather than a restrictive sense.

As described above, the horse-riding bicycle according to the present invention, the saddle is moved up and down as the pedal is pressed, and thus the athlete sitting in the saddle naturally sit with the pedals supported by the up and down movement of the saddle to repeat the operation As a result, the action is repeated as if riding a horse, thereby reinforcing the cardiopulmonary function due to aerobic exercise, as well as the muscle strengthening function of the thigh due to the anaerobic exercise, and moreover, compared to turning the pedal while sitting in the saddle. It is possible to reduce the crowd applied to the minimum to maximize the exercise effect.
