Abstract
An improved stationary exercise cycle comprised of a handlebar and a saddle respectively installed at two extremities of a swing rod, a base support rod to which the anterior extremity of the swing rod is hinged, a push arm extending downward from the posterior extremity of the swing rod, and a guide wheel disposed at the lower end of the push arm that contacts a polygonal drive wheel over the axle of the bottom bracket shell on the base. When a person treadles the pedals and thereby rotates the polygonal drive wheel, the guide wheel contacts the polygonal drive wheel and the support rod on the base serves as a fulcrum on which the swing rod pivots upward and downward in a seesaw fashion, with the handlebar and the saddle at the two extremities of the swing rod alternately rising and falling such that the user not only strengthens both legs, but also invigorates the arms and entire body, thereby providing for a massage-like yet effective and comprehensive physical exercise routine.
Description
- 1) Field of the Invention
- The invention herein relates to physical fitness apparatus, specifically an improved stationary exercise cycle.
- 2) Description of the Prior Art
- The structure and operation of conventional indoor stationary exercise cycles typically provides for the treadling of pedals with two feet to thereby strengthen and exercise both legs in a manner similar to that of riding a bicycle. Since the said stationary exercise cycles are normally equipped with a friction-based, resistance adjustment device, the user can adjust pedaling drag to the most appropriate setting needed for a challenging leg workout. While it cannot be denied that the operation of such stationary exercise cycles achieves the objective of adaptive utilization, since their conventional structure is unsophisticated and only provides for a single regime of leg pedaling exercise, they are monotonous, uninteresting, and even of decreased exercise effectiveness.
- As a result, manufacturers have attempted to further enhance stationary exercise cycles by disposing the handlebar as separate left and right elements with a matching left and right connecting rod then coupling the left and the right handlebar elements to the bottom bracket shell such that when the exerciser treadles the pedals, the said left and right handle bar elements rock forward and backward in a cadence with them to thereby achieve the flexioning of both legs as well as the forward extension and rearward retraction of both arms to effectively exercise and build up the limbs. Since the structure of such improved stationary exercise cycles conditions both the hands and feet at the same time, they are superior to the conventional counterparts in achieving the expected exercise results. However, besides extending and retracting the arms and legs, such structures have shortcomings in that they are incapable of exercising other parts of the human body.
- The primary objective of the invention herein is to provide an improved stationary exercise cycle in which a swing rod having a handlebar and saddle respective installed at its anterior and posterior extremities is capable of pivoting upward and downward on a support rod of a base that serves as a fulcrum and, furthermore, a polygonal drive wheel installed at the bottom bracket shell of the base which impels a push rod at the posterior extremity of the swing rod during rotation such that when the exerciser treadles the pedals, the said saddle and handlebar are reciprocally drawn higher and lower which not only achieves the expected objective of strengthening the two legs of the exerciser, but at the same time also invigorates the arms and entire body, thereby providing for a massage-like yet effective, comprehensive physical exercise routine.
- Another objective of the invention herein is to provide an improved stationary exercise cycle, wherein a height adjuster is disposed between the said swing rod and base such that the amplitude of the said swing rod relative to the body of the exerciser can be varied and at the same time the intensity and mode of vibration to the exerciser dampened to afford the exerciser a more comfortable workout.
- Yet another objective of the invention herein is to provide an improved stationary exercise cycle, wherein the said height adjuster is equipped with a drag device that, as per actual utilization requirements, allows a user-selectable leg strengthening or total body exercise routine to thereby enable multi-purpose application.

- Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 2, and FIG. 3, the improved stationary exercise cycle of the invention herein is comprised of a
base 10 having near the forward aspect an upwardly projectingsupport rod 101 with aclevis 102 disposed on its top end; aswing rod 20 that in addition to providing for the respective installation of ahandlebar 30stem 301 and asaddle 40seat post 401 at its anterior and posterior extremities also has alynch pin 201 inserted proximal to the anterior extremity hinging it to theclevis 102 of thebase 10support rod 101, thereby enabling lever-type ascension and descension, as well as a downwardly extendingpush arm 202 situated proximal to the posterior extremity with aguide wheel 203 disposed on its lower end; adrive wheel 50 that is polygonal in design, positioned at one end of abottom bracket shell 60 on anaxle 601, and contacts theguide wheel 203 at the lower end of theswing rod 20push arm 202, wherein the saidbottom bracket shell 60 is situated on thebase 10—since the structure of the saidshell 60 is similar to that utilized on conventional bicycles, it shall not be further elaborated—and theaxle 601 is a section of a one-piece crank 602 and can be a component of a multiple-piece crank set; aheight adjuster 70 installed in theswing rod 20 adjacent to thepush arm 202 that has anadjustment knob 701, aspring 702, and acushion block 703, wherein after theadjustment knob 701 is rotated downward in theswing rod 20, the tension of thespring 702 is vectored upward such that the saidcushion block 703 at the lower end of theadjustment knob 701 remains fixed against the top end of astop rod 103 disposed in thebase 10; and adrag device 80 disposed on thebase 10 that generates friction along thedrive wheel 50, the structure of which is similar to that of conventional dampers, magnetic controls, brake belts, and other similar means, with the friction produced at thedrive wheel 701 varied via a controllingresistance adjuster 801. - Utilizing the said structure of the invention herein, referring to FIG. 4, FIG. 5, FIG. 6, and FIG. 7, since the anterior extremity of the said
swing rod 20 is hinged to theclevis 102 of thebase 10support rod 101, the saidbase support rod 101 serves as a fulcrum of leveraged pivotal sway; the saidhandlebar 30 andsaddle 40 are respectively installed at the anterior and posterior extremities of theswing rod 20 and as the saidguide wheel 203 disposed at the lower end of theswing rod 20push arm 202 constantly contacts thepolygonal drive wheel 50, when the exerciser sits on thesaddle 40 to treadle thepedals 603 and thereby rotate thedrive wheel 50, thecontiguous sides 501 andangular points 502 profiled at differing height along thedrive wheel 50 impinge theguide wheel 203 during the said rotation (as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6), causing the saidswing rod 20 to move continuously in a seesaw manner and vibrate parasitically, with the said exerciser seated on thesaddle 40 subjected to the resultant pulsations which allows the said exerciser to not only strengthen both legs by treadling the pedals, but at the same time soothingly yet effectively exercise the arms during the vibration process. - Referring to FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, since the
height adjuster 70 is installed adjacent to theswing rod 20push arm 202, a person can not only turn theadjustment knob 701 upward to bring theguide wheel 203 disposed at the lower end of theswing rod 20push arm 202 into the said constant contact with the drive wheel 50 (see FIG. 4, FIG. 5, FIG. 6, and FIG. 7) and thereby enable the exerciser to simultaneously pedal with both legs and exercise the entire body, but can also turn theadjustment knob 701 downward to bring thecushion block 703 against thestop rod 103 of thebase 10 and thus lift the swing rod 20 (see FIG. 8) such that theguide wheel 203 no longer contacts thedrive wheel 50, enabling the exerciser to treadle vigorously but only exercise the legs. Since theheight adjuster 70 is then capable of incrementally raising and lowering theswing rod 20 as well as altering the scope of contact during rotation between thedrive wheel 50 and the guide wheel 203 (i.e., the farther down theswing rod 20push arm 202, the greater the scope of contact in terms of area and degree between the saidpolygonal drive wheel 50 and theguide wheel 203; in contrast, the higher up theswing rod 20push arm 202, the smaller the scope of contact in terms of area and degree between the saidpolygonal drive wheel 50 and the guide wheel 203), it directly changes the amplitude of theswing rod 20 and thus that of thehandlebar 30 and thesaddle 40, thereby enabling the exerciser to alter the intensity and mode of vibration delivered to the body and the arms. In other words, theheight adjuster 70 allows exercisers a functional means of variable control over the amplitude of theswing rod 20 to accommodate all levels of physical condition and actual application requirements, thereby enabling maximum effectiveness by providing for the most suitable form of exercise. - As described above, since the said
drag device 80 can be set by theresistance adjuster 801 to differing magnitudes of friction against thedrive wheel 50, the exerciser can partake of a total-body vibratory massage workout or just pedal exclusively to strengthen the legs, during which time theresistance adjuster 801 can be varied to meet actual utilization requirements to produce both optimal and comfortable pedaling rates, thereby providing for most effective exercise results. - Referring to FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, the drawings of another embodiment of the invention herein; as indicated in the drawings, one extremity of the said
swing rod 20′ is hinged by alynch pin 102′ to the upper end of thebase 10′ support rod 101′ such that it is capable of pivoting upward and downward, thebottom bracket shell 60′ and thehandlebar 30′ stem 301′ are disposed at the other extremity of theswing rod 20′, thepolygonal drive wheel 50′ is as previously described positioned at one end of thebottom bracket shell 60′ axle 601′ , and the saiddrive wheel 50′ contacts theguide wheel 203′ which is disposed on thebase 10′; in this embodiment, the person operates from a separate chair which facilitates usage of the present invention in a smaller space, but similarly is convenient to utilize. For example, when utilized in a living room, a seated person can watch television and treadle thepedals 603′ with both hands placed on thehandlebar 30′ such that as thepolygonal drive wheel 50′ rotates along with theaxle 601′, thelynch pin 201′ serves as a fulcrum on which theswing rod 20′ and thehandlebar 30′ seesaw and vibrate simultaneously to facilitate an invigorating massage and brisk workout to the legs, hands, and upper body of the exerciser. To further meet utilization requirements, theheight adjustor 70′ previously described (as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 9) is similarly installed to vary the amplitude of theswing rod 20′, thehandlebar 30′, and thedrive wheel 50′. - In the said embodiment, the said
bottom bracket shell 60′ and thedrive wheel 50′ can also be disposed on thebase 10′ as shown in FIG. 1, with theswing rod 20′ guide wheel 203′ then positioned coincident to theguide wheel 50′ such that when a person treadles thepedals 603′, the vibrations generated reach thehandlebar 30′.
