AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Although a recumbent bike offers more efficient pedaling action and a larger support point and more comfort when seated, it can be difficult to control and maneuver
They also have safety issues as they are so low that it is difficult for car drivers to see them
Like other bikes, they don't have enough seat adjustment to accommodate riders of different sizes
[0024] The bikes are also difficult to park, store, ship and transport

Embodiment Construction

[0048] first introduce figure 1 A pedal apparatus according to a first embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. 1 , which shows a pedal bicycle 10 being used by a rider 100 . The bicycle 10 has: a frame assembly formed by a substantially curved seat tube 12 and a lower frame tongue 14; a seat 16 secured to a substantially curved seat post 18; a handle 20, the handle 20 affixed to a handle bar 22 which locks at a selected height within a head tube 24 of the frame assembly;

[0049] It can be seen that the rider 100 is seated behind the pedals 26 . By using the handlebars 20 with raiseable handles, the rider 100 can pedal with a substantially straight back and be anatomically correctly supported. In this position, the rider 100 can pedal with optimum efficiency and power.

[0050] refer to figure 2 and 3 , the seat 16 of this embodiment does not have a conventional front saddle because the rider 100 is supported by the ischial tuberosities. This seat 16 is bas...

Abstract

A pedaling apparatus (10) including a frame assembly having a front and a rear sections with a hollow seat tube (12), and a seat post (18) supported by said seat tube (12). The seat post (18) has attachment means for attaching a seat (16. The seat post (18) and the seat tube (12) are supporting the seat (16) at an adjustable position relative to the rear section. The seat tube (12) has a substantially curved part to accommodate therein a compatible curved part of the seat post (18). The curved parts of the seat tube (12) and the seat post (18) are configured for telescopic adjustment of the position of the attached seat (16) along a curved trajectory path extending upwardly and rearwardly relative to said rear section to suit users of different heights and physiques. The apparatus (10) mayhave a pair of pedals (26) arranged so that the user is sitting in a substantially upright pedaling position on the seat and is far enough behind the pedals (26) to give the legs an uncramped and efficient pedaling action.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a footrest with an improved seat positioning structure. Background technique [0002] Generally, pedal bicycles, exercise bicycles, certain sports equipment, etc. (hereinafter referred to as "pedal devices") have seats so that users can sit on them while pedaling. In order to enable people of different builds to use the same footrest, an adjustable positioning seat structure is provided. The seat structure has a seat clipped onto one end of a seat post, and the opposite end of the seat post is adjustably positioned within a straight seat tube with little or no horizontal adjustment. Accordingly, prior art footrests provide seat post adjustment only to accommodate differences in rider's leg lengths. The front frame section and handlebars can be adjusted for differences in arm length and torso length. The prior art devices also cannot be adjusted to accommodate differences in torso length and arm length between riders ...
