Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a buffering structure for a treadmill that has a simple and low-cost configuration. The buffering structure includes a rockshaft and a buffering cushion. The rockshaft is mounted on the bottom of the support device and pivotally connected to the treadmill, while the buffering cushion is connected to the outer surface of the rockshaft. This buffering structure allows for adjustment of the buffer route and is less prone to damage."

Problems solved by technology

As a result, the buffering structure of the present invention has simple configuration and low cost, and it is able to adjust the buffer route and not easy to get damaged.

Embodiment Construction

[0015]Referring to FIG. 1, a buffering structure of the present invention is coupled to a treadmill 1, wherein the treadmill 1 comprises a base 11. Two lateral plates 111 are mounted respectively on both sides of the base 1. A runway platform 112 is mounted between these two lateral plates 111. A runway belt 113 is sleeved onto the surface of the runway platform 112. In addition, an ascending / descending mechanism 12 is pivotally connected to the bottom surface of the front end of the base 11. The ascending / descending mechanism 12 has a buffering structure 2 (3) on the inside. In addition, the ascending / descending mechanism 12 comprises a connection plate 121 having respective lateral frames 122 on both sides. The inner lateral surface of each lateral frame 122 is pivotally, connected to a respective support device 123. The support device 123 is designed to support the weights of the runway platform 112 and the runway belt 113. In addition, an elastic device 125 is held between the f...

Abstract

A buffering structure is coupled to a treadmill to buffer an action route of a support device. The buffering structure comprises a rockshaft and a buffering cushion. The rockshaft is mounted on the bottom of the support device and pivotally connected to the treadmill. The buffering cushion is connected to the outer surface of the rockshaft. The rockshaft and the buffering cushion are able to buffer the action route of the support device. As a result, the buffering structure of the present invention has simple configuration and low cost, and it is able to adjust the buffer route and not easy to get damaged.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a buffering structure, and more particularly to a buffering structure of a treadmill to buffer the action route of a support device by means of a rockshaft and a buffering cushion, wherein the buffering structure of the present invention has simple configuration and low cost, and it is able to adjust the buffer route and not easy to get damaged.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]In order to protect the user's legs from being hurt by excessive large counterforce created transiently by the runway platform, the common commercial treadmill generally has a buffering mechanism. However, the general buffering mechanism has poor performance and only provides single buffer action. Therefore, it is unable to provide different degrees of adjustment for different users. Accordingly, the exerciser's legs, especially knees and ankles, may get injured easily.[0003]Although the existing exercise treadmill may equip with another buffering me...
