Bicycle exerciser having adjustable handle

Abstract

A bicycle exercising device includes two foot pedals rotatably attached to a base, for being operated by users, a seat post extended upwardly from the base for attaching a seat cushion to support the users, and a column extended upwardly from the base. A handle device is pivotally supported on the column, and an adjusting device may be used for adjusting the handle device relative to the column, and relative to the seat post and the seat cushion to any selected positions. One or more levers may be pivotally secured between the handle device and the column. The adjusting device may be a pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder, or other adjusting devices.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a bicycle exercising device or exerciser, and more particularly to a bicycle exercising device having a handle adjustable toward and away from the seat and the users, for allowing the bicycle exercising device to be suitably operated by users of different sizes or heights. [0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art [0004] Typical bicycle exercising devices comprise a transmission box driven by foot pedals, and a handle extended or provided on top of the base, for supporting the upper portions of the users. Normally, the handle portions are solidly and firmly disposed and secured on top of the base, and may not be moved or adjusted relative to the base and the seats and the users, such that the typical bicycle exercising devices may not be suitably operated by users of different sizes or heights. [0005] For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,688,790 to Hokajärvi discloses one of the typical bicycle...

Benefits of technology

[0008] The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a bicycle exercising device including a handle adjustable toward and away from the seat and the users, for allowing the bicycle exercising device to be suitably actuated and operated by users of different sizes or heights.

[0009] In accordance with one aspect of the invention, there is provided a bicycle exercising device comprising a base, a pair of foot pedals rotatably attached to and supported on the base with a spindle and cranks, for being operated by users, a seat post extended upwardly from the base, and having a seat cushion attached thereon, for supporting the users thereon, a column extended upwardly from the base, a handle device pivotally supported on the column, and an adjusting device for adjusting the handle device relative to the column, and relative to the seat post and the seat cushion to selected positions, and for allowing the handle device to be adjusted toward and away from the seat and the users, and thus for allowing the handle device of the bicycle exercising device to be suitably and comfortably actuated or operated by the users of different sizes or heights.

Problems solved by technology

Normally, the handle portions are solidly and firmly disposed and secured on top of the base, and may not be moved or adjusted relative to the base and the seats and the users, such that the typical bicycle exercising devices may not be suitably operated by users of different sizes or heights.

The handle also may not be moved or adjusted relative to the seats and the users, such that the typical bicycle exercising devices also may not be suitably actuated or operated by users of different sizes or heights.

However, the handles should be alternatively pushed and pulled toward and away from the seats and the users, but also may not be adjusted relative to the users, such that the typical bicycle exercising devices also may not be suitably actuated or operated by users of different sizes or heights.
