Abstract
A bicycle exerciser including a base frame, a seat post connected to the base frame, a seat disposed on the seat post, a front stem connected to the base frame, a handlebar disposed on the front stem, a flywheel connected to the base frame pivotally, a chain guard casing disposed on the base frame, and a pedal connected to the chain guard casing wherein the bicycle exerciser is adjusted by a sectional adjustment device in order to control various sectional resistance of a flywheel.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a bicycle exerciser, and more particularly to a bicycle exerciser which is adjusted by a sectional adjustment device in order to control various sectional resistance of a flywheel.
- 2. Description of related art
- A conventional bicycle exerciser does not have a sectional adjustment device in order to control various sectional resistance of a flywheel according to graduations on the sectional adjustment device.
- A primary object of the present invention is to provide a bicycle exerciser with a sectional adjustment device which can exercise a body of a user and exercise a load training of legs of a user. The bicycle exerciser is adjusted by the sectional adjustment device in order to control various sectional resistance of a flywheel.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a sectional adjustment device which uses a graduation type adjustment. When a length of a drawing steel rope is adjusted, a friction resistance pad will be tightened or loosened in order to control various sectional resistance of a flywheel by graduation type adjustment.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a bicycle exerciser having a sectional adjustment device which has a simple structure to be manufactured easily and operated easily.
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a bicycle exerciser of the present invention. -
FIG. 2 is an enlarged perspective of a sectional adjustment device of the present invention. -
FIG. 3 is a schematic view illustrating an operation of a sectional adjustment device while a friction resistance pad is loosened. -
FIG. 4 is a schematic view illustrating an operation of a sectional adjustment device while a friction resistance pad is tightened. - Referring to
FIG. 1 to 4. abicycle exerciser 20 has abase frame 204, aseat post 203 connected to thebase frame 204, aseat 213 disposed on theseat post 203,afront stem 201 connected to thebase frame 204, ahandlebar 214 disposed on thefront stem 201, apositioning crossbar 202 connected to theseat post 203 and thefront 201, aflywheel 210 connected to thebase frame 204 pivotally, achain guard casing 212 disposed on thebase frame 204, apedal 211 connected to thechain guard casing 212, asectional adjustment device 205 connected to thefront stem 201 and thepositioning crossbar 202, adrawing steel rope 206 winding thesectional adjustment device 205 to connect to twoparallel extension springs 208, and twofriction resistance pads 209 each connected to oneextension spring 208. - Each of the
friction resistance pads 209 is adjacent to theflywheel 210. A brakeddevice 207 is connected to thesectional adjustment device 205 to brake thebicycle exerciser 20. - The
front stem 201 can have various shapes such as an N shape and an inverse Y shape. - A plurality of
graduations 2051 are located on thesectional adjustment device 205. Thegraduations 2051 indicate graduation type adjustment. - Referring to
FIG. 2 and 3 again, thegraduations 2051 of the graduation type adjustment are turned to an indication showing a resistance of theflywheel 210 is small. The length of thedrawing steel rope 206 is extended in order to loosen theextension spring 208. Thefriction resistance pads 209 will not catch theflywheel 210 tightly so that the resistance of theflywheel 210 is small. - Referring to
FIG. 4 again, thegraduations 2051 of the graduation type adjustment are turned to an indication showing a resistance of theflywheel 210 is large. - The length of the drawing
steel rope 206 is shortened in order to tighten theextension springs 208. Thefriction resistance pads 209 will catch theflywheel 210 tightly so that the resistance of theflywheel 210 is large.
