Embodiment Construction

[0021]With reference to FIG. 1, a prolong-tracked elliptical exercise machine in accordance with the present invention comprises a base (30), two poles (31), a wheel assembly (32), two pedal assemblies (10) and two driving assemblies (20).

[0022]The base (30) has a front end, a rear end and two sides.

[0023]The poles (31) are pivotally mounted oppositely on two sides of the base (30) near the front end, each pole (31) has a lower end and pivots relative to the base (30).

[0024]The wheel assembly (32) is mounted rotatably in the rear end of the base (30), provides resistance and has an edge and two sides. The resistance may be provided by utilizing a belt, electromagnetic or magnetic resistance, or other techniques well known in the art.

[0025]With further reference to FIGS. 2 and 3, the pedal assemblies (10) are mounted oppositely on the sides of the base (30), are connected respectively to the poles (31) and the sides of the wheel assembly (32) and perform a cyclic movement. Each pedal...

Abstract

A prolong-tracked elliptical exercise machine has a base, two poles, two pedal assemblies and a wheel assembly. The pedal assemblies are mounted oppositely beside the base and each pedal assembly has a linking bar, a rail and a pedal. The linking bar is pivotally mounted between the corresponding pole and the wheel assembly. The rail is mounted securely on the linking bar. The pedal is mounted slidably on the rail and is synchronized to and moved along the rail by a driving assembly driven by movement of the wheel assembly. Accordingly, since pedals move relative to the rail, a distance of pedal movement is increased to provide greater exercise advantages at low cost.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a low impact fitness facility, and more particularly to a prolong-tracked elliptical exercise machine that raises a distance of pedal movement to provide greater exercise advantages.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]Elliptical exercise machines are very popular low impact fitness facilities, which allow a person to perform a full body exercise at home whilst avoiding high impact activities, so are especially useful for overweight, elderly, pregnant, unfit or unmotivated people. With reference to FIGS. 6 and 7, an elliptical exercise machine comprises a base (40), two poles (41), two linking bars (43), two pedals (44) and a wheel assembly (42).[0005]The base (40) has a front end, a rear end and two sides. The poles (41) are mounted oppositely on the two sides of the base (40) near the front end and are mounted pivotally and controllably on the base (40). The linking bars (43) and t...
