Benefits of technology

[0004] Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to provide a dual-function exerciser that can provide exercise function for the whole body of the user, that can train the user's arm, chest, back, abdominal, and leg muscles, and that can improve functioning of the user's cardiopulmonary system. The exerciser includes independently operated movable handle units that provide a variety of arm movements to simulate different activities.

Problems solved by technology

These prior devices have numerous disadvantages that fail to exercise the muscle groups of the chest and abdomen or do so in an unnatural movement.
Other devices are impractical to manufacture or difficult to maintain.

Embodiment Construction

[0022] Before the present invention is described in greater detail, it should be noted that like elements are denoted by the same reference numerals throughout the disclosure.

[0023] Referring to FIG. 1, the first preferred embodiment of a dual-function exerciser according to the present invention. The dual-function exerciser in the depicted embodiments includes a treadmill for exercising the lower body, but it could be another type of exerciser such as an elliptical motion machine, a stair step device, or a bicycle, for example. The treadmill portion of the depicted exerciser is shown to comprise a treading platform 1, an upright frame 2, and a movable handle assembly 4.

[0024] The treading platform 1 includes a base 101, a continuous tread 102 exposed from a top portion of the base 101 and disposed to extend around the platform 1, a foot member 103 disposed on a bottom portion of the base 101 for supporting the platform 1, and a front end 104. The foot member 103 either alone or i...

Abstract

A dual-function exercise device includes lower body exercise device, a frame, and a movable handle assembly. The movable handle assembly includes two independent pulling devices and a rotary shaft journalled on the frame. Each pulling device includes a pulley disposed rotatably on the frame, a pull cord wound on the pulley, a handgrip fastened to an end of the cord and movable to unwind the cord from the pulley, and a biasing unit for biasing the cord to wind around the pulley when the cord is pulled and is subsequently released.

Description

FIELD AND BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] The invention relates to a dual-function exerciser that exercises muscles and muscle groups in both the upper and lower body. [0002] A conventional treading exerciser includes a treading platform, a continuous tread that extends around the platform, an upright frame that extends upwardly from a front end of the platform, a control panel mounted on a top portion of the upright frame, and a pair of fixed handles disposed on opposite sides of the control panel. [0003] Some treading exercises include upper body exercise components that attempt to simulate various activities such as running, cross-country skiing, and others. These prior devices have numerous disadvantages that fail to exercise the muscle groups of the chest and abdomen or do so in an unnatural movement. Other devices are impractical to manufacture or difficult to maintain. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0004] Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to provide a dual-...
