Benefits of technology

[0006] In light of the demerits of the prior art, the invention provides an adjustable handle support of an exercise apparatus that aims to ameliorate at least some of the disadvantages of the prior art and to provide a useful alternative.

Problems solved by technology

Due to different heights of operators, this kind of the exercise apparatus is not suitable for operators with a lower height.
Therefore, it's uncomfortable for them to use the oval-tracked exercise apparatus.
However, to reduce or to raise the height of the apparatus means that more components are required.
Accordingly, this can't raise profits, but increase the manufacture cost.

Embodiment Construction

[0015] Referring to FIG. 1, the oval-tracked exercise apparatus 10 has a main frame 11. Two rocker arms 12 are linked to the front end of two planks 13, respectively while the rear end of the two planks 13 are attached to both sides of a flywheel 14 in such a manner so that both planks 13 are alternately movable.

[0016] The middle part of the rocker arms 12 is pivotably coupled to one end of a connecting strip 18 while the other end of the connecting strip 18 is pivotally connected to an auxiliary rod 17 and a connecting rod 19. The whole movable configuration of the oval-tracked exercise apparatus 10 is controlled by a positioning rod 16 which is activated by a driving unit 15. In this way, the rocker arms 12 can be moved with the planks 13 to undergo the swing motion.

[0017] In operation, the operator holds with his hands the handle 21 of the handle support 20 at the top of the rocker arms 12 for simulating a climbing action. Meanwhile, the feet of the operator tread on the planks...

Abstract

The invention relates to an adjustable handle support of an exercise apparatus having a main frame, two rocker arms on the main frame and two planks in connection with power source (e.g. motor, flywheel, hydraulic cylinder, etc.). The rocker arms are individually movable in a swing motion or jointly movable with the planks. An adjusting mechanism is interposed between the handle support and the rocker arm for adjusting the handle support to suitable angles for different operators.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The invention relates to an adjustable handle support of an exercise apparatus, and more particularly, to an apparatus for adjusting the handle support to a suitable angle for different operators. [0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art [0004] Conventional oval-tracked exercise apparatuses include rocker arms that are jointly movable with the motion of the operators' feet. The rocker arms are rigidly located at a normal height to suit most operators. Due to different heights of operators, this kind of the exercise apparatus is not suitable for operators with a lower height. Therefore, it's uncomfortable for them to use the oval-tracked exercise apparatus. [0005] In order to eliminate the aforementioned problem, the manufacturer produce different models to meet the requirement of different heights to raise their revenue. However, to reduce or to raise the height of the apparatus means that more components are required...
