The present disclosure relates to an exercise device, and more particularly to an exercise device capable of producing a swing motion from the left to right with respect to the ground.
As we all know, doing exercise is an important way to promote human's health. Furthermore, apart from promoting the health, doing exercise can also help to shape human's body curve. As a result, the exercise atmosphere becomes very popular in current society. Most of modern people just have free time at night because of busy life, but many factors are detrimental for doing exercise at night. For example, night temperature is lower, respiration of plants at night leads oxygen content in the atmosphere to be lower, a lot of crime may be existed at night and so on. Thus, indoor exercise equipment gets people's lots of attractions because people can use the exercise equipment to do exercise at home or at a gymnasium.
In a traditional indoor exercise equipment such as an exercise bike, a bike body is fixed on a base to allow a user for treading. However, in the aforesaid structure the bike body is stayed immovably during the treading process, so the user may miss a real riding experience and feel bored during the exercise, and it results in reducing the pleasure of the exercise.
Thus, how to solve the above problems becomes a major issue in the present disclosure.
The major objective of the present disclosure is to provide an exercise device with a swing function, and the exercise device includes elastic support mechanisms at the left part and the right part of the bottom thereof. During operation of the exercise device, heights of the left part and the right part from the ground may be changed accordingly, so as to produce a swing motion.
In order to achieve the above objective, the present disclosure is to provide an exercise device with a swing function, and the exercise device includes a main body and a plurality of support mechanisms.
The main body has a base which includes a front part and a back part.
The plurality of support mechanisms which are disposed on the front part and the back part respectively, and each of the plurality of support mechanisms has a height and is abutted upon a ground to support the base. The height of each of the plurality of support mechanisms is changeable. When the main body is controlled to drive the base, the plurality of support mechanisms are forced by the base to change the heights thereof respectively, such that the main body can be inclined to any direction to produce a swing motion.
In one embodiment, each of the support mechanisms has a fixed member and an elastic member. The fixed member is fastened with the base. The elastic member is linked to the fixed member at an end thereof and abutted upon the ground at other end thereof. The motion of the base enables deformation of the elastic member to change the height of the elastic member, so as to change the height of the support mechanism.
In another embodiment, the support mechanism has a fixed cylinder, a first elastic member, a support cylinder and a foundation. The fixed cylinder is fastened with the base and has a hollow space therein. The foundation is abutted upon the ground, and the support cylinder is pivoted on the foundation and inserted into the hollow space. The first elastic member is disposed in the hollow space. The first elastic member is abutted upon a top surface of the fixed cylinder at an end thereof and abutted upon the support cylinder at other end thereof. The motion of the base enables deformation of the first elastic member to change a height of the first elastic member, so as to change the height of the support mechanism.
Furthermore, the base has support parts at the front part and the back part thereof respectively. Each of the support part has an arc-shaped bottom abutted upon the ground, and a position where the ground abuts the bottom is defined as a pivot. With the swing motion of the base to the left and right, the position of the pivot on the bottom of the support part is changed accordingly.
The above objectives and advantages of the present disclosure can have a gain insight easily by choosing from the detailed description and the accompanying drawings in the following embodiments.
The detailed structure, operating principle and effects of the present disclosure will now be described in more details hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings that show various embodiments of the present disclosure as follows.
Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Therefore, it is to be understood that the foregoing is illustrative of exemplary embodiments and is not to be construed as limited to the specific embodiments disclosed, and that modifications to the disclosed exemplary embodiments, as well as other exemplary embodiments, are intended to be included within the scope of the appended claims. These embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the inventive concept to those skilled in the art. The relative proportions and ratios of elements in the drawings may be exaggerated or diminished in size for the sake of clarity and convenience in the drawings, and such arbitrary proportions are only illustrative and not limiting in any way. The same reference numbers are used in the drawings and the description to refer to the same or like parts.
It will be understood that, although the terms ‘first’, ‘second’, ‘third’, etc., may be used herein to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited by these terms. The terms are used only for the purpose of distinguishing one component from another component. Thus, a first element discussed below could be termed a second element without departing from the teachings of embodiments. As used herein, the term “or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

The main body 1 has a base 2, and a front part 21 and a back part 22 are defined in the base 2. Support mechanisms 3 are mounted on the front part 21 and the back part 22 respectively. In the present embodiment, the support mechanisms 3 are provided on a left part and a right part of the front part 21 and the back part 22, respectively. Each of the support mechanisms 3 is abutted upon the ground and has a height, and the base 2 is sustained by the support mechanisms 3 from the ground by a distance. The heights of the support mechanisms are changeable. Therefore, when the user controls the main body 1 to produce motion, the base 2 is driven to force the height of each support mechanism to be changed. Then the main body 1 can be inclined to any direction to produce a swing motion.
The detailed structure of the support mechanism 3 is shown in
By the above structure, the base 2 is driven when the user controls the main body to have an exercise. For example, when the user controls the main body 1 to incline to the left, as shown in
The present disclosure further provides a third embodiment as shown in
A top end of the support cylinder 44 is extended into the hollow space of the fixed cylinder 41, and an abutting block 442 is disposed at the top end. A first elastic member 42 and a second elastic member 43 are disposed at both sides of the abutting block 442 in the hollow space 411, and the first elastic member 42 is abutted with atop surface 412 of the fixed cylinder 411 at one end thereof and abutted with the abutting block 442 at other end thereof. The second elastic member 43 is sleeved outside of the support cylinder 44, and the second elastic member 43 is abutted with a bottom 413 of the fixed cylinder 41 at an end thereof and abutted with the abutting block 442 at other end thereof. In the present embodiment, the first elastic member 42 has an elastic structure made of elastic materials, the second elastic member 43 is a spring, and both them can be deformed to change heights thereof. According to the structure, the support mechanism 4 can be abutted upon the ground 5 via the foundation 45, and the base 2 is sustained by using the support cylinder 44 and two elastic members 42 and 43 to sustain the fixed cylinder 41.
When the user controls the main body to do exercise, the base 2 is driven correspondingly. For example, when the user controls the main body 1 to incline to the left, as shown in
In addition,
The above-mentioned descriptions represent merely the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, without any intention to limit the scope of the present disclosure thereto. Various equivalent changes, alternations or modifications based on the claims of present disclosure are all consequently viewed as being embraced by the scope of the present disclosure.
