Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a foldable aerobic exercise chair, and more particularly to a foldable aerobic exercise chair including a foldable and portable structure for being carried and operated indoor and outdoor and for conducting various kinds of hand or feet exercise operations, and including a resistance mechanism for easily and quickly attaching or mounting or securing onto the foldable and portable chairs that have been widely used for a long time and that may be easily available or obtained.
- 2. Description of the Prior Art
- Typical foldable aerobic exercise chairs comprise a chair and a portable exercise apparatus adapted to fit the chair, and including a resistance mechanism to create resistance against movement, the resistance mechanism being engageable by a limb of a person when sitting in the chair and having a number of resistance position locations which can provide universal exercise for arms, back, neck, abdomen, ankles and wrists.
- For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,248,420 to Heyes discloses one of the typical exercise chair comprising a body-supporting frame, a support member pivoted on the frame to support the frame in inclined position and having a seat, and a footrest swiveled on the base of the frame for swinging toward and away from the frame. A rope which is trained over pulleys connects a crossbar on the top of the frame to the footrest for transmitting a pulling force applied to the ends of crossbar to the footrest to swing it rearwardly toward the frame.
- However, the exercise chair includes a movable and unstable structure that the user, particular the children or the elder, may feel afraid, and includes a complicated structure that may not be easily attached or mounted or secured to the typical foldable chair, and the typical exercise chair may not be used as a flat exercise apparatus for stepping exercises. In addition, the exercise chair should be specially designed and may not be available from the typical foldable chairs.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,324,243 to Wilkinson discloses one of the typical universal, portable exercise apparatus adaptable to fit a chair, comprising a back support removeably attachable to the backrest of a conventional chair, at least one elongate extension member removeably and adjustably affixed to the back support and extending through the point of reference and outwardly therefrom within a substantially vertical plane containing the line, and a resistance mechanism to create resistance against movement of the user, the resistance mechanism being engageable by a limb of a person when sitting in the chair. The apparatus has virtually an infinite number of resistance position locations which can provide universal exercise for arms, legs, back, neck, abdomen, ankles and wrists.
- However, the exercise apparatus that is designed for fitting or attaching or mounting or securing onto the chair includes a rather complicated structure that may not be easily manufactured and assembled.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,362,296 to Wang et al. discloses another typical chair mounting exercising unit comprising two swinging arms having a bottom end fastened to either end of a U-shaped locating rod that is fixed to the back of a chair by a knob controlled lock device and a slotted side extension plate in the middle at an outer side movably hung on a screw bolt at either end of a horizontal frame on the back of the chair and a top end coupled with a pulley wheel assembly, and two elastic pull ropes inserted through either pulley wheel assembly and fastened to either swinging arm and an opposite end coupled with a handle.
- However, the exercise apparatus may only be attached or mounted or secured to a fixed or stationary chair that may not be folded to a compact structure and that may not be used as a flat exercise apparatus for stepping exercises.
- U.S. Pat. No. 7,708,670 to Bowser discloses a further typical seated row exercise system comprising a chair, and an exercise cycle assembly detachably connects to a chair frame of the chair, and an elongated support assembly.
- However, the exercise system is attached or mounted or secured to a chair that may not be used as a flat exercise apparatus for stepping exercises.
- The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages of the conventional foldable aerobic exercise chairs.
- The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a foldable aerobic exercise chair including a foldable and portable structure for being carried with the user and operated indoor and outdoor.

- In accordance with one aspect of the invention, there is provided an exercise chair comprising a primary frame including a lower segment and an upper segment, a supporting stay including an upper portion pivotally coupled to the primary frame and rotatable relative to the primary frame between an opened working position and a folded storing position, a seat member being slidably coupled to the primary frame, and including a rear portion pivotally coupled to the supporting stay, the seat member being adjustable relative to the primary frame between a working position where the seat member is inclined relative to the primary frame and a folded storing position where the seat member is parallel to the primary frame, and including a back support pivotally coupled to the seat member and adjustable relative to the primary frame and the seat member between an opened working position where the back support is inclined relative to the primary frame and the seat member and a folded storing position where the back support is in line with the seat member and parallel to the primary frame, two first pulleys attached to the lower segment and the upper segment at one side of the primary frame respectively, and two second pulleys attached to the lower segment and the upper segment at opposite side of the primary frame respectively, a first cable attached to the first pulleys and including a first fitting and a second fitting attached to end portions thereof for engaging with the first pulleys, a second cable attached to the second pulleys and including a third fitting and a fourth fitting attached to end portions thereof for engaging with the second pulleys, two handles selectively coupled to the first and the third fittings of the first and the second cables for being operated by hands of a user, and two foot straps selectively coupled to the second and the fourth fittings of the first and the second cables for being operated by feet of the user.
- The primary frame includes four attachments attached to the lower segment and the upper segment of the primary frame respectively for supporting the first and the second pulleys.
- The primary frame includes a beam for engaging with and for supporting the back support. The seat member includes a bracket attached to the back support and engaged with the beam for retaining the back support to the primary frame.
