Embodiment Construction

[0018] The present invention contemplates an arrangement for a treadmill having a frameless pedal base. The bottom plate is disposed between the front and rear support members without using a frame. Thus, the force of the user stepping on the treadmill floor can move the rear of the pedal base. This dynamic provides an improved damping surface. Treadmills avoid the need for heavy and expensive frame components. A preferred treadmill has a curved floor.

[0019] The present invention provides vibration damping and tilting without many of the parts necessary in the prior art. Moreover, the novel structure of the present invention also provides a convenient and inexpensive manufacturing method.

[0020] The present invention is described by way of example and not by way of limitation with reference to the accompanying drawings showing the general environment for implementing the invention and the accompanying drawings showing structures for implementing embodiments of the app...

Abstract

A method and apparatus for a treadmill (100) having a frameless pedal base. The treadmill (100) is lightweight and inexpensive. A feature of the preferred embodiment is a curved base plate (108). The arc-shaped bottom plate (108) has a first end, a second end, and a middle portion, wherein the middle portion has an upwardly inclined or convex arc surface. The curved bottom plate (108) provides vibration damping and tilting. The curved bottom plate (108) maintains a convex curve independent of any structure in the treadmill. Furthermore, the curved bottom plate (108) is connected to the front support part (102) and the rear support part (104), the front support part (102) being independent of the rear support part (104).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a kind of sports equipment. More particularly, the present invention relates to an improved treadmill. Background technique [0002] In recent years, the need to improve health and enhance cardiovascular function has grown. This need is linked to the need for exercise that is suitable for exercise in confined spaces, such as in one's home or in a gym. This trend has led to an increase in demand for the production of sports equipment. [0003] A series of studies have shown that walking and running can reduce mental stress and reduce the risk of heart disease, osteoporosis, high blood pressure and other cardiovascular diseases. As a result, treadmills are recommended to people of different ages and physical conditions, including middle-aged and elderly people, heart patients, obese people, and young and healthy people who want to improve cardiovascular function. Thus, a treadmill is produced that can be used, for exa...
