Benefits of technology

[0004]An objective of the invention is to provide an exercise cycle that has an additional element of a cam mechanism, which not only offers tangible cycling functions to help achieve a body-wide exercising yield, but also provides training of the leg and waist muscles for coordinating the balance of all body parts and achieving a body-wide exercise yield.
[0005]The present invention offers a body-wide exercise yield that not only provides the user with adequate exercise but also helps to achieve an overall bodily coordination and balance.
[0007]The objective of the invention serves to devise an exercise cycle, in which said exercise cycle attempts to reconfigure the existing fitness devices by adding a cam mechanism, which not only offers tangible cycling functions to help achieve a body-wide exercising yield, but also provides training the leg and waist muscles for coordinating the balance of all body parts.
[0010]The preferred embodiment the invention proposes is not only easy to manufacture, requiring no complicated pars, but also conserves the production cost, and highly maneuverable by the user.

Problems solved by technology

However they fail to take into account the actual scenarios of outdoor exercising.
For example, conventional fitness devices that are designed to imitate the bicycling sport often focus on exercising the leg muscles but do not take into account body coordination and balance.
Under the treacherous conditions of bicycling these prior art devices are unable to coordinate other body parts to exercise concurrently other parts of the human body.

Embodiment Construction

[0014]As depicted in FIG. 1, the preferred embodiment the invention pertains to an exercise cycle, which is comprised of the components of a base member 6, vertical support 1, cam mechanism 55, seat 21, and pedal 31, wherein the supporting member 61, 62 extended upward from the base member 6 serve to anchor and brace the transmission mechanism 55, vertical support 1, cam mechanism 3 and yoke 4.

[0015]The main structure of the exercise cycle serves to reconfigure the pedals 31 connected to two sides of the cam mechanism 3, where the pedals 31 convey the cam mechanism 3 to rotate, and that the rotation of the cam mechanism 3 in turn conveys the vertical support 1 and seat 21, which allows the exercise cycle to train the leg muscles and provides physical up-down motions to train the user's waist muscles, coordination and balance.

[0016]Tangibly put, with the vertical support 1 divided into two parts, the lower part of the vertical support pertains to the supporting support 51, and the up...

Abstract

An exercise cycle is disclosed as having a base member that anchors and supports a vertical frame, a transmission mechanism, a cam mechanism, a seat and seat support, and pedals. The vertical frame includes a vertical supporting member mounted to the base member, and a vertical support extending upwardly from the vertical supporting member. The cam mechanism has two sides and one pedal is connected to each side. When a user pushes on the pedals, the cam mechanism rotates. The cam rotation surface conveys the motion to a standing support pulley and yoke pulley causing it to rotate. The yoke in turn conveys the motion to the seat support causing the seat to move up and down. The cam mechanism serves to provide an overall coordination and balance of the exercise cycle.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The preferred embodiment of the invention pertains to an exercise cycle, particularly pertaining to a cycling exercise fitness equipment.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Fitness apparatuses are steadily gaining momentum in usage and practicality amid improved quality of living, reduced leisure time and limited access to nature. Consequently, more urbanites are turning to gyms to exercise and are using fitness devices to get their exercise. Most fitness devices have been designed along the principle of imitating the mechanical movement principle and combining it with the basic elements of certain exercise routines. However they fail to take into account the actual scenarios of outdoor exercising.[0003]For example, conventional fitness devices that are designed to imitate the bicycling sport often focus on exercising the leg muscles but do not take into account body coordination and balance. Under the treacherous conditions of bicycling these prior art devi...
