Benefits of technology

[0006]The present invention has been accomplished under the circumstances in view. It is the main object of the present invention to provide a pedal motion path adjustable elliptical t

Problems solved by technology

The pedal motion paths of conventional elliptical trainers are constant, hence, the entire exercise will seem tedious, and will be unable to train all different muscles of the legs.
Thus, only a small part of the muscles of the legs can be traine

Embodiment Construction

[0020]Referring to FIGS. 1-4, an elliptical trainer 10 in accordance with the present invention is shown comprising a base frame 20, a support mechanism 30, a rotating mechanism set 40, a linkage mechanism set 50, and a sliding mechanism 60.

[0021]The base frame 20 is mounted at a support surface G.

[0022]The support mechanism 30 comprises a rail holder 31, a support member 32, two sliding rails 33, a bracket 34, a second drive source 35, and a drive rod 36 movable back and forth relative to the second drive source 35. The rail holder 31 is pivotally mounted at the base frame 20. Each sliding rail 33 comprises a pivot portion 332 axially connected to the front side of the support member 32, and a sliding portion 334. The second drive source 35 is affixed to the support member 32. The bracket 34 is mounted at the support member 32 with the front side thereof stopped against the support surface G and the rear side thereof pivoted to the front side of the drive rod 36. More specifically,...

Abstract

A pedal motion path adjustable elliptical trainer includes a base frame , a support mechanism including a rail holder pivoted to the base frame, a support member and two sliding rails, a rotating mechanism set mounted at the left and right sides of the base frame and movable along a respective closed-loop motion path with a respective support link thereof respectively slidably coupled to one respective sliding rail, a linkage mechanism set mounted at the left and right sides of the base frame, and a sliding mechanism mounted at the rail holder and including a transmission member, two follower members respectively mounted on two opposite ends of the transmission member and movable relative to each other. Thus, the elliptical trainer allows the user to change forward-backward pedal motion paths or left-right pedal motion paths, achieving training of different groups of the muscles of the legs.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to elliptical machines and more particularly, to a pedal motion path adjustable elliptical trainer, which allows change of pedal motion paths.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]Elliptical trainer is a stationary exercise machine used to simulate walking that move along a smooth, elliptical path. Elliptical trainers offer a non-impact cardiovascular workout that can help you reach your health and fitness goals. The pedal motion paths of conventional elliptical trainers are constant, hence, the entire exercise will seem tedious, and will be unable to train all different muscles of the legs.[0005]Taiwan Patent 1294294 discloses an elliptical trainer entitled “LEG-TRAINING ELLIPTICAL MACHINE”, which uses a screw rod of a slope control mechanism to control movement of a female screw member, causing the female screw member to bias a drag bar. When biasing the drag bar, the angle of a ra...
