Abstract

A buffer apparatus of a treadmill including a bed rested on the ground, a tread apparatus and a buffer apparatus. A rail upward extends from the bed for a user to hold. The buffer apparatus is connected under the tread apparatus. The buffer apparatus includes an inflatable hollow main body and a pressurizing unit for inflating the main body. The main body has a buffer section and a fixing section for fixing the main body under the tread apparatus. The buffer section has a large interior space. After the main body is inflated by the pressurizing unit, a bottom end of the buffer section is still lower than a bottom end of the fixing section. The main body further has an intake and an exhaust port. After the pressurizing unit is activated, the air can go into and out of the main body through the intake and the exhaust port.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention is related to a buffer apparatus of a treadmill, and more particularly to a buffer apparatus with damping effect. [0002]FIG. 8 shows a buffer apparatus 6 for a conventional treadmill. The buffer apparatus 6 is made of rubber material for buffering the instantaneous reaction force and protecting a user from getting hurt when treading the tread board. However, such rubber-made buffer apparatus 6 can hardly provide different buffering effects for different users with different weights. Therefore, the safety in use of the treadmill can be hardly ensured. [0003]FIG. 9 shows another type of buffer apparatus 7 having different sections made of different materials with different densities. Such buffer apparatus 7 can provide different buffering effects according to different requirements of different users. However, before using the treadmill, a user must first try different materials and then choose one suitable for the weight of the...
