grips 11 and rotates thefirst crank arms 12, thefirst crankshaft 10 rotates. - The
second crankshaft 20 is installed to near the middle portion of the lower part of theframe 60 via conventional bearing means.Second crank arms 22 are installed on the right and the left side of thesecond crankshaft 20. Pedals 21 are provided to thesecond crank arms 22 on which feet of a user can be put. Asecond sprocket 23 and athird sprocket 24 are installed on thesecond crankshaft 20. Thesecond sprocket 23 is relatively small in diameter, and gear is formed around the outer circumferences of thesecond sprocket 23 and thethird sprocket 24. - As a user put his or her feet on the
pedals 21 and rotates the second crankarms 22, thesecond crankshaft 20 rates, thereby thesecond sprocket 23 and thethird sprocket 24 rotate accordingly. - A first driving force transmitting means 40 for transmitting the torques between the
first crankshaft 10 and thecrankshaft 20 each other, and thus linking thecrankshafts first sprocket 13 and thesecond sprocket 23. The first driving force transmitting means 40 is preferably a timing belt, and gear, which is engaged to the gears formed on the outer circumferences of thefirst sprocket 13 and thesecond sprocket 23, is formed on the inner circumference face of the timing belt. However, the first driving force transmitting means 40 is not limited to the timing belt, but a chain belt or any other equivalents those can be engaged with the gear formed on the outer circumferences of thefirst sprocket 13 and thesecond sprocket 23 may be used as well without restriction. - Two
guide idlers 42 are installed where theframe 60 bends and engaged with inner circumference and outer circumference of the first driving force transmitting means 40 respectively to control the orbit and the tension of the first driving force transmitting means 40 in the orbit formed by the timing belt as the first driving force transmitting means 40. The guide idlers 42 are so installed that the orbit of the first driving force transmitting means 40 follows the overall shape of theframe 60 and have a function to control the tension so that the timing belt does not come loose. To that purpose, the spacing between theguide idlers 42 is slightly narrower than the width of the orbit of the first driving force transmitting means 40, which is defined as the diameters of thefirst sprocket 13 and the second sprocket 14. - A
bracket 61 is installed fixedly on thebase 110, and a drivenshaft 30 is installed on thebracket 61 via conventional bearing means. Awheel 32 as an exercise load, which is the same one as used in a conventional indoor bike exercise equipment, and a drivensprocket 32 is installed on the drivenshaft 30. - Gear is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the driven
shaft 30. A second driving force transmitting means 50 is engaged with the gears which are formed on the outer circumference of the drivensprocket 32 and the third of thesprocket 24 respectively for transmitting the torque from thethird sprocket 24 to the drivensprocket 32. Similar to the first driving force transmitting means 40, the second driving force transmitting means 50 is composed of timing belt or chain belt, but any equivalents can be used if they can be engaged with the gears formed on thethird sprocket 24 and the drivensprocket 32. - As the torque from the
second crankshaft 20 is transmitted to the drivensprocket 32 via thethird sprocket 24, thewheel 31 installed on the drivenshaft 30 also rotates by the rotation of the drivensprocket 32. - On the other hand, a
saddle attachment part 70 is installed near the position where theframe 60 bends, onto which asaddle 71 is attached. As described above, thesaddle 71 is attached for a user to sit thereon and to use the total body exercise equipment according to the present invention as a conventional indoor bike exercise equipment. - In addition, near the upper end of the frame 60 a
stationary grip 80 is fixed. Thestationary grip 80 is held by a user when the user uses the total body exercise equipment according to the present invention as a conventional indoor bike exercise equipment, and rotates thepedals 21 to prevent his body from rocking from side to side. - On the other hand, since the wheel of the total body exercise equipment according to the present invention as an exercise load does not touch the ground, it is difficult to obtain sufficient exercise effects, therefore, a
load applying means 90 for applying load to thewheel 31 and a load control means 91 for controlling the load volume applied to thewheel 31 are provided. - The
load applying means 90 comprises a magnetism generating means 901 which applies attraction force to thewheel 31 in case that the material of thewheel 31 is metal. As the magnetism generating means 91, either a permanent magnet or an electro magnet can be used, and as can be seen from theFIG. 2 , the magnetism generating means 91 preferably has the shape of a partial arc of a concentric circle corresponding to the arc of thewheel 31 and having larger diameter that that of thewheel 31. - The closer the magnetism generating means 901 approaches to the
wheel 31, the bigger the attraction force exerted between them and vice versa, therefore, a user can regulate the exercise load volume which is appropriate for him or her by regulating the distance between thewheel 31 and the magnetism generating means 901 with the load control means 91. - The load control means 91, which allows a user to adjust the length of the
wire 93 connected to the magnetism generating means 901 manually, pulls thewire 93 so that the magnetism generating means 901 approaches to thewheel 31.Unexplained number 94 is a tension spring which exerts stronger tensile force as the magnetism generating means 901 approaches to thewheel 31. When a user wants the magnetism generating means 901 to retreat back from thewheel 31, he or she let the wire come loose, then the tensile force of thetension spring 94 retreats the magnetism generating means 901 back from thewheel 31 against the attraction force of the magnetism generating means 901. - Load applying means 90 is not limited to such an embodiment, but, as shown in the
FIG. 4 , as an another embodiment, a magnetism generating means 901 in the form of partial arc can be installed inside thewheel 31 in such a manner that acompression spring 94 pushes the magnetism generating means 901 toward thewheel 31. A user can regulates the magnetism, as the exercise load, acting on the wheels by retreating the magnetic generating means 901 back from thewheel 31 against the compressive force of thecompression spring 94. - As an alternative embodiment of the
load applying means 90 using a physical friction force instead of magnetic force, a pad which contacts with the outer circumferential face of thewheel 31 can be adopted to apply the exercise load to thewheel 31. The volume of exercise load applied to thewheel 31 by the pad can be freely regulated by thewire 93 as the load control means 91 andspring 94 described above. - The working action of the total body exercise equipment according to the present invention configured as described above will be described below.
- When a user put his or her feet on the
pedals 21 and grabs thegrips 11 with both hands to exercise with the total body exercise equipment according to the present invention, the posture of the user looks like that of a user arising from the saddle of a conventional sports bike to accelerate the bike and stepping on the pedals up and down rapidly. - As the user steps on the pedals, the
second crankshaft 20 rotates, therefore, the driving force is transmitted to the first driving force transmitting means 40 engaged to thesecond sprocket 23 which, in turn, is installed on thesecond crankshaft 40, and the driving force will act to rotate thefirst crankshaft 10 via thefirst sprocket 13. - On the other hand, when the user grabs the
grips 11 and rotates thecrankshaft 10, since thefirst crankshaft 10 and thesecond crankshaft 20 are linked each other by the first driving force transmitting means (40), thefirst crankshaft 10 and thesecond crankshaft 20 rotate together by the resultant force due to the movement of the user's arms and legs. - Such resultant force is transmitted to the second driving force transmitting means 50 engaged to the
third sprocket 24 which is, in turn, installed on thesecond crankshaft 20. Driving force as the resultant force is transmitted to the drivensprocket 32 engaged to the second driving force transmitting means 50 and to rotate the drivenshaft 30 and thewheel 31 as the exercise load at the same time, which is installed on the drivenshaft 30, hence a total body exercise using both arms and both legs at the same time is possible. - If the user needs more exercise load, the user manipulates the load control means 91 to pull the
wire 93 connected to theload applying means 90, which approacheswheel 31 thereby the exercise load volume increases. On the other hand, if the user wants to decrease the exercise load, the user manipulates the load control means 91 to turn the wire connected to theload applying means 90 loose, and then thetension spring 94 exerts a tensile force to theload applying means 90 to retreat back from thewheel 31. - Especially, according to the total body exercise equipment of present invention, a total body exercise using four limbs of a human being evenly is possible.
- For example, a user may aligns the
first crankshaft 10 with thesecond crankshaft 20 in the same phase so that apedal 21 and agrip 11 on one side and apedal 21 and agrip 11 on the other side are rotated in a synchronized manner, thereby an arm and an leg of either side exercise simultaneously. Or, thefirst crankshaft 10 and thesecond crankshaft 20 can be aligned such that the grips and the pedals rotate in order of left arm, left leg, right arm, and right leg. - Of course, if a user does not want, the
first crankshaft 10 and thesecond crankshaft 20 are not necessarily aligned in a synchronized manner. Instead, bothcrankshafts - It is evident for the skilled in the art that the pedals and the grips can be set to rotate in a totally different order of the sequence from the above-described manner in accordance with the purpose of a user, and that, at the same time, the crankshafts can be aligned at the time of manufacturing and/or using arbitrarily.
- In addition, when a user does not want to do a total body exercise, but a conventional indoor bike exercise, the user sit on the
saddle 71, grabs thestationary grip 80 and steps on thepedals 21. In this case, as thepedals 21 rotates, the first and second driving force transmitting means 40 and 50 which are engaged with thesecond sprocket 23 transmit the driving forces together, thus the first crankshaft (10) and the wheel (31) rotate simultaneously according to the rotation of the first sprocket (13) and the driven sprocket (32). - Even though the present invention described in detail based on the attached drawings and exemplary embodiments, which are not intended to limit the present invention, but various modifications and variations are possible in the scope of the appended claims to a skilled person in the art to which the present invention pertains.
