Abstract
An exerciser for step and twist includes a base and a swing device secured to the base. The swing device has a pair of pedals which are secured to a post and are linked by a cable to a roller. Two ends of the cable are connected with extensions protruding from the pedals. A spindle of the roller is provided with a gear to mesh with the teeth of a disc on the base. When stepping on the pedals, the cable links the roller to spin, whereas the gear rolls along the teeth of the disc to move the pedals from left to right or vise versa, thus, the exerciser provides a stepping and twisting effect to users.
Description
- This invention relates to an exerciser, and more particularly to an exerciser with multiple exercising functions to step and twist at same time.
- Due to the scientific development, the modern life is much easier. Many things can be done simply by push a button. Therefore, people do exercise less and gain much weight. When being aware of this, people start to go to the gym or have exerciser machines at home. However, most of the exercisers are too expensive. A pedal exerciser becomes a popular exerciser to most families.
- A conventional pedal exerciser currently on the market has only one function to step up and down, and it is so tedious that can hardly attract consumers to buy.
- It is the primary object of the present invention to provide an exerciser for step and IS twist, which provides a multiple function purposes of exercise.
- It is another object of the present invention to provide an exerciser for step and twist, which is easy to operate.
- It is a further object of the present invention to provide an exerciser for step and twist, which is cost effectiveness.
-
FIG. 1 is an exploded view of the present invention; -
FIG. 2 is a side view of the present invention, partially sectioned; -
FIG. 3 is a top view of the present invention; -
FIG. 4 is a side view of the present invention showing the pedals in operation; and -
FIG. 5 is a top view of the present invention depicting the swing device in operation. - The present invention comprises a
base 1 and aswing device 2. - The
base 1 has astrut 11 at the front end to secure a handle thereon, abarrel 12 on the base behind thestrut 11, arecess 13 at the rear end of thebarrel 12 adapted to recess abearing 14 therein, and adisc 15 in an arcuate shape behind therecess 13. - The
swing device 2 comprises apost 21 at the front end to be inserted into thebarrel 12 and a pair ofpedals 22 secured to respective sides of thepost 21. Each of thepedals 22 is connected with acylinder 23 at the bottom end thereof. Eachpedal 22 has anextension 24 protruding from the front bottom end. Theswing device 2 further comprises aroller 25 with aspindle 251 inserted through the base of theswing device 2 and agear 27 secured to the bottom of thespindle 251 to mesh with the teeth of thedisc 15. Anidle gear 26 is located in front of theroller 25. Acable 28 is wound along theroller 25 with the two ends connected to theextensions 24 of thepedals 22. Theidle gear 26 produces a special force to prevent thecable 28 from rolling idle. - To assemble the present invention, as shown in
FIGS. 2 and 3 , thepost 21 of theswing device 2 is inserted into thebarrel 12 of thebase 1. Theswing device 2 is seated on the top of thebearing 14 of thebase 1 with thegear 27 meshing with the teeth of thedisc 15. When stepping on thepedals 22, theroller 25 rolls to bring thegear 27 to roll simultaneously along the teeth of thedisc 15, which moves thepedals 22 to right and left directions correspondingly. - To operate the present invention, as shown in
FIGS. 4 and 5 , a user stands on the twopedals 22 with both hands holding the handle on thestrut 11 and steps thepedals 22 up and down. Thepedals 22 activate the twocylinders 23 in such a manner that when theleft pedal 22 is pushed, theleft cylinder 23 will be pushed inwardly and theright pedal 22 at this moment is lifted up to pull theright cylinder 23 outwardly. Theextension 24 at the left side pulls thecable 28 from a first end while a second end of thecable 28 is pulled by the first end of thecable 28, which in turn pulls theright pedal 22 to move upward, and theroller 25 is pulled to roll reversely, which links thegear 27 to roll simultaneously. Due to thegear 27 meshing with the teeth of thedisc 15, thegear 27 rolls to the left of thebase 1, causing the user to twist his/her body with the movement of thepedals 22. Vise versa, when theright pedal 22 is stepped down, theright cylinder 23, thecable 28, theroller 25, thegear 27, thedisc 15 all link to move in a different direction and thepedals 22 moves to the right direction. By continuing these steps, thepedals 22 will move from left to right and left in sequence, which exercises the user's leg muscle and also trains the waist at same time.
