Description

    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention is related to an improved external plastic structure of a treadmill. The panel plastic member and the step board plastic member of the treadmill are made of plastic material by blowing molding, whereby internal buffering spaces are formed therein. Accordingly, a user is protected from getting hurt and the safety in use of the treadmill can be ensured and the internal buffering spaces can prevent the external plastic structure from being broken due to a crash or fabrication. [0001]
  • FIG. 7 shows a conventional treadmill having a [0002] base seat 6 and a running platform 7. The base seat 6 has two upward extending columns 61. A panel 62 is connected between top ends of the two columns 61 for controlling operation of the treadmill. A front section of the running platform 7 is pivotally disposed between the columns 61. A running belt 71 is circularly rotatably wound around the running platform 7. Two step boards 72 are respectively disposed on two sides of the running belt 71 of the running platform 7 for a user to step thereon and rest.
  • The [0003] panel 62 and step boards 72 are made of plastic material by injection molding. As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the panel 62 and step boards 72 are both solid so that the panel 62 and the step boards 72 both have very hard surfaces. When a user runs on the treadmill, in case the user incautiously falls down, the user may hit the panel 62 and get hurt or damage the panel 62. The step boards 72 are arranged on two sides of the running belt 71 for the user to temporarily rest thereon. However, the user may incautiously kick the hard surfaces of the step boards 72 and get hurt. Especially when a rehabilitated patient walks on the running belt 71 with bare feet, the patient's feet often incautiously kick the step boards 72 and get hurt.
  • Furthermore, the [0004] panel 62 and the step boards 72 are solid and easily become brittle due to an oxidation. Consequently, the external plastic structure may be broken due to an improper force, such as assembling bolt (8). With reference to FIG. 10, the panel 62 and the step boards 72 may be broken during screwing bolts or a crash when being transported.
  • Therefore, it is tried by the applicant to ensure safety in use of the treadmill and prevent the external plastic structure of the treadmill from being broken due to a crash or an improper force. [0005]
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • It is therefore a primary object of the present invention to provide an improved external plastic structure of a treadmill including a base seat and a running platform. The base seat has two columns respectively upward extending from two sides of the base seat. A panel plastic member is disposed between the two columns. A front section of the running platform is mounted between the columns. A running belt is circularly rotatably disposed in the running platform. A step board plastic member is disposed on two sides of the running belt of the running platform. The panel plastic member and the step board plastic member are made of plastic material by blowing molding, whereby internal buffering spaces are formed therein. In case a user incautiously falls down to hit the panel plastic member or the step board plastic member, the surfaces of the panel plastic member and the step board plastic member will be inward recessed due to the buffering spaces to buffer the impact. Accordingly, the user is protected from getting hurt and the safety in use of the treadmill can be ensured. [0006]
  • It is a further object of the present invention to provide the above improved external plastic structure of the treadmill in which multiple reinforcing ribs are longitudinally formed between the top board and bottom board of the step board plastic member for supporting the top board and increasing the strength thereof when stepped.
