Description

Mini elliptical for sitting

The present invention relates to a kind of sports equipment, especially a miniature elliptical machine suitable for use in a sitting position.

The elliptical machine is one of the most common indoor fitness equipments today. It allows the user to step on the pedals with both feet. When the user exerts force, the pedals move in a cycle similar to an elliptical path, and the user can hold the pedals with both hands. The handle that is linked to the pedal swings back and forth to achieve the effect of exercising the upper and lower limbs at the same time. The current elliptical machines are mainly divided into two types, one is that the motor is installed in the front, and the other is that the motor is installed in the rear. Please refer to Figure 13 As shown, it is an elliptical machine in which the motor is arranged in the front, and it includes a front motor 90, two pedals 91 and two handles 92. One end of the two pedals 91 is respectively connected to the two opposite sides of the front motor 90, and the other end is backward and upward. Extending, one end of the two handles 92 is respectively connected to the two pedals 91, and the other end extends upwards and forwards, so the user performs exercises like mountain climbing in a standing posture; please refer to Figure 14, which is an ellipse with the motor arranged at the rear Machine, it comprises a rear motor 93, two pedals 94, two support rods 95 and a seat 96, one end of the two pedals 94 is respectively connected to two opposite sides of the rear motor 93, and the other end extends forward and downward, One end of the two support rods 95 is respectively connected to the two pedals 94, and the other end extends upwards and forwards.
