Example

[0013] Referring to the drawings and initially to FIGS. 1 and 2, a treadmill in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a tread board 11, two uprights 12 mounted on two opposite sides of the tread board 11, two handlebars 13 each pivotally mounted on a respective one of the uprights 12, and two vibration damping devices 14 each mounted between a respective one of the uprights 12 and a respective one of the handlebars 13 to provide a vibration damping effect to the respective handlebar 13.

[0014] Each of the handlebars 13 has a front side pivotally mounted on an upper end of the respective upright 12. The front side of each of the handlebars 13 is provided with a downward extending pivot ear 131 pivotally mounted on the upper end of the respective upright 12 by a pivot shaft 121. Each of the vibration damping devices 14 is mounted between a mediate portion of the respective upright 12 and a mediate portion of the respective handlebar 13. The mediat...

Abstract

A treadmill includes a tread board, two uprights mounted on two opposite sides of the tread board, two handlebars each pivotally mounted on a respective one of the uprights, and two vibration damping devices each mounted between a respective one of the uprights and a respective one of the handlebars to provide a vibration damping effect to the respective handlebar. Thus, each of the vibration damping devices provides a vibration damping effect to the respective handlebar to prevent vibration from being transmitted to the user's two hands directly so as to protect the user's two hands during the exercising process.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a treadmill and, more particularly, to a treadmill having a vibration damping function for its handlebars. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] A conventional treadmill comprises a tread board, two uprights mounted on two opposite sides of the tread board, and two handlebars each secured on a respective one of the uprights. Thus, a user's two hands can hold the handlebars during the exercising process to prevent the user from being falling down. However, the user's two hands have to partially support the user's weight during movement of the user's body and are subjected to vibration transmitted by the handlebars during the exercising process, so that the user's two hands are easily hurt during a long-term utilization. In addition, the handlebars are secured on the uprights, so that the handlebars cannot be moved to correspond to upward and downward movement of the user's t...
