Oblong Orbital Exercising Machine with a Motion Trace that Performs Full Body Torsion and Swinging

Abstract

An oblong orbital exercising machine includes a main frame, an upright mounted on the main frame, a base frame mounted on the main frame, a support plate mounted on the base frame, two swinging members pivotally connected with the base frame, two primary rollers each connected with the respective swinging member and each placed on the support plate, a cycle movement mechanism mounted on the main frame, a belt wheel mounted on the upright, a belt mounted between the belt wheel and the cycle movement mechanism, two cranks mounted on the belt wheel, two driving levers each pivotally connected with the respective crank and the respective primary roller, two pedals each pivotally connected with the respective driving lever, two handles each mounted on the upright, and two driven levers each pivotally connected with the respective handle and the respective pedal.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to an exercising machine and, more particularly, to an exercising machine with an oblong orbit or cycle.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]A conventional oblong orbital exercising machine comprises a main frame, an upright post mounted on the front portion of the main frame, two handles each having an upper end pivotally connected with the upright post, a cycle movement mechanism mounted on the rear portion of the main frame, two pivot members mounted on two opposite sides of the cycle movement mechanism, two links each having a first end pivotally connected with the lower end of a respective one of the handles and a second end pivotally connected with a respective one of the pivot members, and two pedals each mounted on a respective one of the links. In operation, when a user operates the exercising machine, his hands can hold the handles to move the handles and his feet tread th...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This configuration enhances exercising effectiveness by enabling full body turning and swinging while reducing manufacturing costs and time through simplified fabrication.

Problems solved by technology

However, each of the sliding tracks has an outward arcuate profile so that each of the sliding tracks needs a precise manufacturing process, thereby increasing the cost and time of fabrication.
