Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an improved assembly of indoor fitness equipment that provides exercises to strengthen the fitness of both legs or massages both legs of an exerciser according to actual needs
  • cardiopulmonary fitness can be improved by having appropriate and effective exercises constantly.
  • Positive impacts of exercises to our body include strengthening our musculatures, retarding osteoporoses, improving heart/lung capacity, enhancing body immunity, slowing down arterioscleroses and intelligence degeneration, and lowering blood pressure, heartbeat and blood sugar level, etc.
  • the inventor of the present invention based on years of experience of the manufacture and design of sport equipments to conduct extensive research and development to overcome the foregoing shortcomings and look for a feasible solution for the improvement, and finally invented a fitness equipment in accordance with the present invention.
  • a fitness equipment comprising a swing rod, a guide wheel axially disposed at an appropriate position of the swing rod, a driving device and an adjusting devices disposed on a base at an and proximate to the swing rod, such that when an exerciser treads on the driving device by both feet, a fitness exercise for both legs, or the swing rod swings or vibrates with the base as a pivot, such that the hands and upper part of the body are vibrated for giving a massage effect to the exerciser.
  • the driving device comprises a core axle, a pedal axially disposed on the core axle, a polygonal driving wheel driven by the pedal and disposed at an end of the core axle, and the circumferential surface of the driving wheel precisely corresponds and contacts with the guide wheel.
  • the adjusting device drives the guide wheel to contact with the driving wheel, the driving wheel continuously presses the guide wheel during its rotation. In the meantime, the swing rod swings or vibrates with the base as a pivot.
  • an exerciser can step on the pedals for exercising both legs.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the structure of a fitness equipment in accordance with the present invention
  • FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of part of a fitness equipment in accordance with the present invention.
  • FIGS. 3A and 3B are enlarged views of adjusting devices of a fitness equipment in accordance with the present invention.
  • FIG. 4 is a schematic view of using the fitness equipment in accordance with the present invention.
  • FIG. 5 is a schematic view of a driving wheel pressing a guide wheel in accordance with the present invention.
  • FIG. 6 is another schematic view of using the fitness equipment in accordance with the present invention.
  • FIG. 7 is an enlarged view of the structure of a resistance device in accordance with the present invention.
  • FIG. 8 is a schematic view of a fitness equipment in accordance with another preferred embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 9 is an enlarged view of the structure of an adjusting device in accordance with the present invention.
  • the fitness equipment 1 comprises:
  • an exerciser can sit on an externally installed seat 60 as shown in FIG. 4 , and the driving wheel 34 can be rotated by an exerciser's stepping both feet on the pedals 33 .
  • the driving wheel 34 rotates to drive each edge 341 and each corner 342 at different heights to press against the guide wheel 23 as shown in FIG. 5 , while the swing rod 20 is swinging or vibrating with the pivotal base 21 of the base 20 as a pivot. Therefore, the exerciser not only achieves the effect of exercising both legs by stepping the pedals 33 , but also has a massaging effect on both hands and an upper part of the body by the vibration so produced.
  • the exerciser can have an exercise on both legs by stepping on the pedals 33 .
  • the rotating driving wheel 34 is in contact with a range of the guide wheel 23 to achieve the adjustment. In other words, the closer the swing rod 20 to the vertical rod 31 , the larger and the more is the range of the guide wheel 23 to be contacted with the circumferential surface of the polygonal driving wheel 34 .
  • the farther the swing rod 20 from the vertical rod 31 the smaller and the less is the range of the guide wheel 23 to be contacted with the circumferential surface of the polygonal driving wheel 34 .
  • an exerciser can adjust the adjusting device 40 as needed to control the amplitude of vibration of the swing rod 20 to change the amplitude of vibration or shaking of the hands and upper body and thus giving the best exercising effects.
  • a fixed rod 70 is disposed at an appropriate position of the base 10 , and the fixed rod 70 has a saddle 71 at its top as shown in FIG. 6 for seating an exerciser, such that the exerciser can exercise while sitting on the saddle 71 , and a quick release 50 is installed at an appropriate position of the fixed rod 70 for adjusting the height of the saddle 71 .
  • the driving device 30 could come with a resistance device 80 as shown in FIG. 7 , and the resistance device 80 is comprised of a resistance wheel 81 disposed on the core axle 32 corresponding to a side of the driving wheel 34 and a fender 82 .
  • a brake plate 83 is installed between the fender 82 and the resistance wheel 81 , and a force is applied to the fender 82 by an adjusting rod 84 for adjusting the resistance of the resistance wheel 81 , such that when the adjusting rod 84 is screwed inwardly to increase the friction of the resistance wheel 81 , it also increases the resistance of stepping the pedals 33 .
  • a connecting rod 72 can be installed on the fixed rod 70 as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 , and a guide wheel 73 is installed at an end of its extended section 722 , and a push rod 74 is installed on a side of the extended section 722 , such that when an adjusting board 75 disposed on the fastening plate 41 is pushed downward, the push rod 74 and the guide wheel 73 disposed at the extended section 722 are pushed away from the driving wheel 34 without being linked.
  • the resilient device 721 installed between the connecting rod 72 and the base 10 drives the connecting rod 72 to push upward and drives the guide wheel 73 towards the driving wheel 34 .
  • the fixed rod 70 and the saddle 71 are swung or vibrated, so that the exerciser not only can exercise both legs by stepping on the pedals, but also can have a massage on the hips and the waist. Therefore, the present invention can provide a massage effect as well.
  • the invention provides a better feasible indoor aerobic fitness equipment assembly, and further enhances the performance over the conventional structure and device, and thus complies with the patent application requirements.
