Abstract
A foldable body building device is formed of a first connection rod mechanism and a second connection rod mechanism. The first connection rod mechanism is formed of an upright rod, a handlebar support rod, two tilted support rods, and a connection rod of a base. The second connection rod mechanism is formed of an upright rod, a handlebar support rod, two damping pressure cylinders, and two swivel rods. The first connection rod mechanism is used to support the body building device in the unfolded state. The second connection rod mechanism is intended to bring about the linking action of the body building device.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to a body building device, and more particularly to a foldable body building device.
2. Description of the Related Art
The conventional foldable body building devices are defective in design because they cannot be easily folded and unfolded, and because they are not structurally strong.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a first connection rod mechanism and a second connection rod mechanism. The first connection rod mechanism is formed of an upright rod, a handlebar support rod, two tilted rods, and a connection rod of a base. The second connection rod mechanism is formed of an upright rod, a handlebar support rod, two damping pressure cylinders, and two swivel rods.
The features and the advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood upon a thoughtful deliberation of the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
As shown in
FIGS. 1-5
, a body building device
10
embodied in the present invention comprises the component parts which are described hereinafter.
A base rod
11
is provided in the midsegment thereof with a pivoting seat
12
having a shaft rod
13
. The base rod
11
is further provided at both ends thereof with a connection rod
14
.
An upright rod
21
is provided at the top end thereof with a pivoting seat
22
and is pivoted at the bottom end thereof to the pivoting seat
12
of the base rod
11
.
A support rod
31
is provided at the top end thereof with a handlebar
32
and is provided at the top portion with a pivot seat
33
which is pivoted with the pivoting seat
22
of the upright rod
21
. The support rod
31
is further provided at the lower end thereof with a pivoting tube seat
34
.
Two titled support rods
41
are provided with a connection tube
42
which is pivoted with the pivoting tube seat
34
of the support rod
31
, a pivoting suspension seat
43
, and a rod pivoting seat
44
connected with the connection rod
14
of the base rod
11
.
Two swivel rods
51
are provided at the front end thereof to a pivoting tube portion
52
which is pivoted with the shaft rod
13
of the base rod
11
, at the rear end thereof with a pedal board
53
, and in the midsegment thereof with a pivoting seat
54
.
Two damping cylinders
61
are pivoted at a cylinder end portion
62
thereof to the pivoting suspension seat
43
of the tilted support rod
41
, and at a shaft end portion
63
thereof to the pivoting seat
54
of the swivel rod
51
.
The connection rod
14
of the base rod
11
, the upright rod
21
, the support rod
31
, and the tilted support rods
41
form together a first connection rod mechanism for supporting the body building device
10
in the unfolded state.
The upright rod
21
, the support rod
31
, the swivel rods
51
, and the damping cylinders
61
form together a second connection rod mechanism for bringing about the linking effect of the body building device
10
.
Claims
- 1. A foldable body building device comprising:a base rod provided in a midsegment with a pivoting seat having a shaft rod extending therefrom, said base rod further provided at both ends with a connection rod; an upright rod provided at a top end with a pivoting seat and pivoted at a bottom end to said pivoting seat of said base rod; a support rod provided at a top end with a handlebar and a pivot seat whereby said pivot seat is pivoted with said pivoting seat of said upright rod, said support rod further provided at a lower end with a pivoting tube seat; two tilted support rods provided with a connection tube which is pivoted with said pivoting tube seat of said support rod, said tilted support rods further provided with a pivoting suspension seat and a rod pivoting seat whereby said rod pivoting seat is connected with said connection rod of said base rod; two swivel rods provided at a front end thereof with a pivoting tube portion which is pivoted with said shaft rod of said base rod, said swivel rods further provided at a rear end with a pedal board, and in a midsegment with a pivoting seat; and two damping cylinders pivoted at a cylinder end portion thereof to said pivoting suspension seat of said tilted support rod, and at a shaft end portion thereof to said pivoting seat of said swivel rod; wherein said connection rod of said base rod, said upright rod, said support rod, and said tilted support rods comprise a first connection rod mechanism for supporting said body building device in the unfolded state; and wherein said upright rod, said support rod, said swivel rods, and said damping cylinders comprise a second connection rod mechanism for bringing about the linking effect of said body building device.
