Abstract

The flexibly coordinated stationary exercise device (10) includes a frame (12) which has a forward upright member (20). The axle mounts (30) and (32) are attached to the rear region of the frame (12) and support a transverse axle (36) which is preferably operatively connected to a flywheel (38). The ends of the transverse axle (36) rotatably engage left and right crank arm assemblies (50) and (52) that are coupled to the left and right foot links (60) and (70) so that the foot links travel in an arcuate reciprocal path as the transverse axle rotates. The foot links are operatively connected to swing arm mechanisms (80) and (90), which in turn are rotatably connected to the forward upright member (20) at pivot points (84) and (94). The swing arm mechanisms further contain hand-gripping portions (82) and (92), and the foot links further contain foot support portions (66) and (76). Flexibly coordinating members (100) are incorporated in the linkage between each respective hand-gripping portion and foot support portion to substantially and resiliently link the movement of the foot support portions to the movement of the hand-gripping portions, while permitting some degree of uncoordinated motion between the foot support portions and the hand-gripping portions.

Description of the Invention (1) The present invention is a part of the US Patent No. 09 / 271,733 filed on March 18, 1999. The invention relates to a sports equipment, in particular a flexible coordinated exerciser 'for simulating running, jogging and pedaling. The benefits of general aerobic exercise are well known. However, due to time constraints, weather, and other factors, many people cannot engage in aerobic exercises such as walking, jogging, running, and swimming. Therefore, many kinds of sports equipment have been developed for aerobic exercise. In general, people need to exercise most of their muscles in order to balance the development of the body ’, lengthen muscle length and elasticity, and increase the optimal goal of aerobic exercise. Another advantage of sports equipment is that it can prepare smooth and natural movements, so as to avoid disruption and tight ends of muscles and joints. 6 There are many known sports systems. These systems have many disadvantages that limit their advantages. 'And / or include unnecessary danger and undesirable characteristics. For example, a stationary bicycle is a popular exercise system. However, this machine uses a seated position, which uses a relatively small number of muscles within a limited range of motion. Cross-country skiing equipment is also used by many people to imitate cross-country skiing. This kind of device moves more muscles than a stationary bicycle. Generally, the flat movement of the device that pushes the foot back and forth restricts the range of motion of some sports muscles. Another exerciser simulates climbing stairs. These devices also exercise more muscles than stationary bicycles. However, the fairly limited range of up and down movements they use does not move to the user's foot muscles through a wide range of movements. Treadmills are another conventional exercise device and allow natural walking or jogging movements in a fairly restricted area. However, this paper size is applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) 4 ------------- 「衣 --------- Order (Please Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) -------- line Λ 4363 05 Printed by Shellfish Consumer Cooperative of Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (2) The disadvantage of the treadmill is that it is used Such devices can cause serious disharmony in the hips, knees, heels, and other joints of the body. Another limitation of most fitness systems in the art is the limitation of the actions that these systems can produce, such as the inability to produce Elliptical movement. When the user uses the exercise machine, the path traveled by his foot follows an arc or ellipse. The elliptical movement is more natural, and it is more linear than some known techniques. More similar to running, jogging, walking, etc. "The best fitness device can be configured to provide arm and shoulder movements and curved foot movements. Use a conventional device that connects shoulder and arm movements with foot movements to add compulsory coordinated movements. The movement of the user's foot is connected to his arm and The movements of the body (substantially equal and relative quantities), and vice versa. Other know-how limits the range of movements that can be used with the system, and because of the continuous reliance on small areas instead of large areas of natural movements, such as running, walking Etc., it is easy to cause the user ’s muscles to have a bad influence on the elasticity and coordination. Although there are many known fitness devices, there is still a need for an elliptical foot movement that can be added in a flexible and elastic manner to the connecting foot of the big crotch. Fitness equipment related to arms, shoulders and turning movements. The fitness equipment should preferably be prepared-smooth, step-running movement, not only avoid joint and muscle injury, but also better exercise the user's legs than treadmills or ski equipment. People A fitness device is needed, which is equipped with smooth, natural movements, through a large range of elliptical movements, using arms, shoulders and turning movements to exercise a large number of muscles, and allows flexible coordination of movements between the upper and lower bodies. That is, some papers that are generally coordinated but still allow the user's feet to move. This paper size applies Chinese national standards (CNS> A4).

The fitness device uses a frame with a horizontal axis mounted on it. The connecting mechanism is operatively related to the foot link so that the foot link is related to the horizontal axis, so that each foot link The foot support portion travels in a reciprocating path when the horizontal axis rotates. Each foot link includes a first end portion, a second end portion, and a foot support portion therebetween. It includes a grip portion, a pivot point, and A swing arm mechanism of a connection area operatively associates each swing arm mechanism with each first end portion of each foot link. The flexible coordination element roughly and elastically connects the movement of the foot support and the movement of the grip of the swing arm mechanism, while allowing some degree of uncoordinated movement between the foot support and the grip * In a preferred embodiment, the connecting mechanism includes a rotating crank arm that pivotally relates the horizontal axis to the foot link. Preferably, at least a part of the connecting mechanism is rotated about the horizontal axis. The exercise apparatus may further include a flywheel operatively connected to the horizontal axis for rotation.

In this illustrated embodiment, the proximal ends of the crank arm elements 50 and 52 engage the ends of the cross shaft 36, and the ends of the crank arm elements 50 and 52 are rotatably connected to the rear ends 64 and 74 of the foot links 60 and 70. In this configuration, the rear ends 64 and 74 of the foot links 60 and 70 rotate around the horizontal axis 36 when the shaft rotates, and the foot support portions 66 and 76 of the foot levers 60 and 70 follow a reciprocating elliptical motion path. March. However, the elliptical path of the 'foot support portions 66 and 76, and the movement of the entire foot link 60 and 70 can be changed to any shape by changing the structure or size of the crank arm assemblies 50 and 52. For example, the length of a single left and ancient crank arm in Fig. 1 can be lengthened or shortened to change the path of the foot links 60 and 70. In addition, the left and right crank arm assemblies 50 and 52 may be composed of several crank arm element link groups, so that the travel paths of the foot links 60 and 70 can be changed in a wide range. In another embodiment of the present invention, the rear ends 64 and 74 of the foot links 60 and 70 are directly connected to a flywheel: the flywheel can connect the foot links 60 and 70 to a pivot axis (equivalent to the axis of the horizontal axis 36) ) To allow it to rotate around the axis. In this embodiment, the flywheel is preferably a pair of flywheels rotating around a central axis. It is important to understand that the crank arm assemblies 50 and 52 can use different mechanical configurations to operationally connect the foot links 60 and 70 to each other. These different configurations can include a larger flywheel, a smaller flywheel, or the complete elimination of the flywheel 'and the addition of a wheel system with a set of connecting links, as long as the foot links are connected to allow this paper size to apply Chinese national standards (CNS) A4 specifications (210 X 297 mm) I ^ i1111ΙΪ ^ 01 ------- line f Please read the notes on the back before filling out this page) Printed by the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Consumer Cooperatives 11 4363 〇t A7 B7 printed by Shelley Consumer Cooperative of Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 5. Description of the invention (9) The foot support portions 66 and 76 of the foot link 60 and 70 can advance forward in an arc path. Referring again to FIG. 1, the exercise apparatus 10 further includes left and right swing arm mechanisms 80 and 90. Each of the swing arm mechanisms 80 and 90 includes a grip portion 82 and 92 ′ ~ a pivot point 84 and 94, and a connection area 86 and 96. The connection areas 86 and 96 of the swing arm mechanisms 80 and 90 are rotatably connected to the front ends 62 and 72 of the foot connecting rods 66 and 70. The pivot points 84 and 94 rotationally fix the swing arm mechanisms 80 and 90 to the front upright element 20 of the frame. The grip portions 82 and 92 of the swing arm mechanisms 80 and 90 are held by the user's hand, and the upper body and shoulder movements are allowed to be added to the reciprocating elliptical movement drawn by the user's feet. As shown, the swing arm mechanisms 80 and 90 are connected to the foot links 60 and 70, and the swing arm mechanisms 80 and 90 are rotatably fixed to the pivoting points 84 and 94 of the frame 12 before the upright element 20, resulting in one hand holding Part of the backward arc motion corresponds to the generally forward arc motion of the respective one-foot support, and vice versa. Importantly, the fitness device 10 of the present invention incorporates a flexible coordination element 100. These flexible coordination elements 100 are added to the link set between the left-hand grip part 82 and the foot support part 66, and the link set between the right-hand grip part 92 and the foot support part 76. The flexible coordination element has sufficient flexibility and elasticity to substantially connect the movement of the foot support portions 66 and 76 and the movement of the grip portions 82 and 92, and allow the foot support portions 66 and 76 and the grip portions 82 and 92 at the same time. 92 uncoordinated actions. The flexible coordination link set between the upper body and the lower body of a user has important advantages over the provision of compulsive coordination that cannot be ignored between the upper body and the lower body of the user. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention as shown in FIG. 1, one of the physical parts of the swing arm mechanism 80 and 90 itself is a paper size that is compliant with China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) 12 ------------ "14 --------- Order · '-------- Line A (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) 4363 0 Printed by the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs on consumer consumption Du A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (10) Includes a flexible coordination element 100 'which is made of a material that is generally flexible and elastic enough to connect the feet in general (incompletely) The movement of the support portions 66 and 76 and the movement of the grip portions 82 and 92 (that is, an uncoordinated movement between the chat support portion and the grip portion is allowed). Therefore, in this embodiment, it is likely to swing up The entire upper and lower halves of the arm mechanisms 80 and 90 are flexible (such as glass weave / graphite rods or elements). With the present invention, the user stands on the foot support portions 66 and 76 and holds his hand Grip parts 82 and 92. The user applies a backward stepping action on one of the foot support parts, and a forward stepping action on the other foot support part. The movement of the crank arm assembly 50 and 52 connecting the foot links 60 and 70 to the axis of the horizontal axis 36 causes the horizontal axis 36 to rotate in a clockwise direction (viewed from the right side of Figure 1). As for the lower body action, it is used The person also applies a generally forward motion on one of the grip parts, and pulls back on the other grip part as a whole. "Because of the swingable arm mechanisms 80 and 90, the connection areas 86 and 96 are rotatable.
