Description

EQUIPMENT AND INTEGRATED BICYCLE EXERCISE TEAM

Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to an integrated riding and bicycle exercise equipment and more particularly it relates to a novel riding and bicycle exercising equipment in which the movement systems of the riding simulation equipment and the bicycle are integrated into a only interconnected mechanical system, so that both routines can be carried out at the same time without the need for transition work or the disconnection of the systems.

Background of the Invention

Due to the requirements of modern life, people maintain extensive working hours and do not have time to perform exercise routines outdoors or in gyms, so they become more sedentary, affecting their quality of life. Therefore, in recent years home training equipment has become indispensable in many homes to improve people's quality of life. However, because the majority of people live in departments, the free area for the placement of these equipment is very small and the end user of these equipment must take into account the correct selection of the equipment to be purchased. While with only one device or device you cannot train all the muscle groups necessary to maintain a good physical condition, there are two devices that allow the proper training of most muscle groups and which in turn do not require large areas for placement; These equipments are horse riding simulation and stationary bicycles. As already mentioned, these teams in most cases are small; However, there are still two separate teams, so many users have to select only one of them. In order to overcome these inconveniences, hybrids of these equipments have been developed in recent years, in which it involves integrating both lifting mechanisms for riding routines and stationary bicycles.

This type of equipment is described, for example, in US 7393308 Bl, which describes an exercise equipment that combines an abdominal horse with a stationary bicycle for spinning. Said device has measurements to quantify the time parameters and repetitions of the routines performed; However, this equipment cannot be folded on itself. In addition to the above, the used footrests cannot be completely knocked down, since they have a spring system that avoids it, so they interfere with bicycle routines. In addition, there is no way to practice both types of movement at the same time. US Patent 7422548 Bl, protects an abdominal horse which has a stationary bicycle mechanism; said equipment has a sliding mechanism controlled by wheels located in its previous support; Although horse riding and bicycle routines can be carried out on this equipment, its stability is very compromised since there is only one support point. In addition to the above, the equipment does not allow its folding.

Finally, the Utility Model application MX / u / 2016/000137, describes a riding exercise equipment that has a stationary bicycle located on its front support, which allows both riding and pedaling routines; likewise, said equipment has the option of being folded so that its effective storage area is greatly reduced. However, it is not possible to carry out both exercise routines at the same time, since the bicycle pedals collide with the foot supports that are used in the riding routines. Moreover, in case of wanting to use the stationary bicycle, it is necessary to lock the riding mechanism, since otherwise when raising the seat the user's feet are too far from the pedals of the bicycle so that it can be driven. The aforementioned devices lack the means to coordinate the riding and bicycle routines at the same time and in most cases they only allow one of the two routines to be carried out since the effort transmission mechanisms interfere with each other, so it is it is necessary for the user to descend from the equipment to toggle between the mechanisms to be able to carry out their routines.

In view of the above problems, there is a need to provide a combined riding exercise equipment with a bicycle in which the mechanical movement transfer systems do not interfere with each other. There is also a need to provide an integrated riding and bicycle exercise equipment in which it is possible to carry out both routines at the same time and that can be folded for storage.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to overcome the disadvantages of the available riding and bicycle equipment, the present invention aims to provide a new integrated riding and bicycle exercise equipment in which the riding and bicycle elements are integrated in a single shared mechanical system.

A particular objective of the present invention is to provide an integrated riding and bicycle exercise equipment, which can be folded without the mechanical interconnection system interfering.

Another objective of the present invention is to provide an integrated riding and bicycle exercise equipment, which has better stability and means for better user grip during routines and ercicio.

A further objective of the present invention is to provide an integrated riding and bicycle exercise equipment with resistance mechanisms included that allow the intensity selection of the riding and bicycle routines in a synchronized or independent manner.

The aforementioned objectives, as well as others and the advantages of the present invention, will become apparent from the following detailed description thereof.

Detailed description of the invention

The present invention relates to an integrated riding and bicycle exercise equipment in which the mechanisms involved in the riding and bicycle movement are interconnected in such a way that both routines can be carried out simultaneously without the need to carry out transitions. . Likewise, the present invention provides structural modifications to the riding and bicycle exercise equipment that provide greater stability and allows more complex exercise routines than those commonly carried out in this type of equipment. To achieve the above, the integral riding and bicycle exercise equipment of the present invention is made up of: a) a main support (1), with a pivoting base (3), located in its middle part, with a bar (4) provided with a rotating shaft; b) a fork arm (9), whose open arms are connected to the terminal ends of the bar (4), while its upper arm receives a telescopic bar (10) with a seat (11), said upper arm having a lock (12) that allows adjusting the telescopic bar travel (10); c) an "S" shaped frame (13) made up of two bent tubulars connected to each other by two bridges (14), which has bearings (15) located in its lower part, which are attached to the support (7) to use it as rail and; a bridge (16), located at the upper end of the "S" shaped frame (13), which receives an angled pair of "C" shaped supports (17) and, a base (18) for equipment digital measurement and; d) a stationary bicycle assembly (19) having resistance means with pedals adapted thereto, whose casing is connected at its bottom to the rotating axis of the bar (4), while at the top it is joined at one end of a folding arm (20), the opposite end of the folding arm (20) being pivotally attached to the tubular of the "S" shaped frame (13), said opposite end of the folding arm (20) having a cavity of reception (21) on which rests an adjustable resistance mechanism (22), which is attached to the upper arm of the fork arm (9).
