Patent Application
20140080688
The present invention relates to a multifunctional fitness apparatus which allows the user to change various exercise modes.
Conventional exercise apparatuses can only be used in a single mode without changing various exercise modes, so users will feel bored to stop exercise.
The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages.
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a multifunctional fitness apparatus which allows the user to change various exercise modes.
To obtain the above objective, a multifunctional fitness apparatus provided by the present invention contains:
a base including a rolling disc disposed on an upper side thereof and a rotating disc arranged on the rolling disc, wherein the rotating disc allows rotating in a clockwise direction and in an anti-clockwise direction so that a user kneels, sits, or stands on the rotating disc to exercise;
a first guide rail set;
a seat connected with the base by ways of the first guide set and including two connecting shafts;
a second guide rail set and a third guide rail set, the two shafts axially connecting with the second guide rail set and the third guide rail set;
a first pedal set and a second pedal set, the second guide rail set and the third guide rail set coupling with the first pedal set and the second pedal set; and
the first pedal set including a first post mounted on a free end thereof, a first handle fitted on the first post, and a first roller fixed on a bottom surface of the free end thereof;
the second pedal set including a second post mounted on a free end thereof, a second handle fitted on the second post, and a second roller fixed on a bottom surface of the free end thereof; such that the user holds the first handle and the second handle by two hands and kneels, sits, or stands on the first pedal set and the second pedal set to exercise.
The foregoing, as well as additional objects, features and advantages of the invention will be more readily apparent from the following detailed description, which proceeds with reference to the accompanying drawings.
With reference to
a base 10 including a rolling disc 11 disposed on an upper side thereof and a rotating disc 12 arranged on the rolling disc 11, wherein the rotating disc 12 allows rotating in a clockwise direction and in an anti-clockwise direction so that a user kneels, sits, or stands on the rotating disc 12 to exercise;
a first guide rail set 20;
a seat 30 connected with the base 10 by ways of the first guide set 20 and including two connecting shafts 31, 32;
a second guide rail set 40 and a third guide rail set 50, the two shafts 31, 32 axially connecting with the second guide rail set 40 and the third guide rail set 50;
a first pedal set 60 and a second pedal set 70, the second guide rail set 40 and the third guide rail set 50 coupling with the first pedal set 60 and the second pedal set 70; and the first pedal set 60 including a first post 61 mounted on a free end thereof, a first handle 62 fitted on the first post 61, and a first roller 611 fixed on a bottom surface of the free end thereof; the second pedal set 70 including a second post 71 mounted on a free end thereof, a second handle 72 fitted on the second post 71, and a second roller 711 fixed on a bottom surface of the free end thereof; such that the user holds the first handle 62 and the second handle 72 by two hands and kneels, sits, or stands on the first pedal set 60 and the second pedal set 70 to exercise. Thereby, the user allows changing various exercise modes by ways of the multifunctional fitness apparatus.
The base 10 also includes a fixing member 13 fixed thereon, the fixing member 13 has a rotary knob 131 secured on a bottom end thereof and connecting with the base 10 so as to drive a crank 132 and a connection stem 133 by which a fixed stem 134 is driven to position the rotating disc 12.
The first post 61 allows expending and retracting to adjustably change its height. For example, the first post 61 is set at least three heights based on the user's low posture, sitting posture, and standing posture in exercise. For instance, when the first post 61 is set at a middle height, the user holds the first handle 62 of the first post 61 in a sitting posture to do rowing exercise or chest exercise.
The first post 61 and the second post 71 include a plurality of counterweight block 90 disposed thereon to match with a damping effect, thus increasing exercise result.
The first guide rail set 20 includes two first rails 21, a first rod 22, and a first positioning mechanism 23. The two first rails 21 are mounted in the base 10, and each first rail 21 has a plurality of orifices 211 defined thereon and spaced apart from each other equidistantly. One end of the first rod 22 is fixed to the seat 30, the first rod 22 slides between the two first guide rails 21. The first positioning mechanism 23 is mounted on a free end of the first rod 22 and has two first balls 231 extending out of one of the plurality of orifices 211, a first conical projection 232 pushed by a first spring 233 to keep its first largest segment 2321 abutting against the two first balls 231, a unlock button 234 for driving a first peg 235 by which the first conical projection 232 is driven to move and press the first spring 233, and the first conical projection 232 further moves toward a first smallest segment 2322 to unlock the two first balls 231 so that the two first balls 231 retract inwardly to adjust a position of the seat 30 and the first rod 22, thereafter the unlock button 234 is released so that the first spring 233 is biased against the first conical projection 232 back to an original position, such that the two first balls 231 position one of the plurality of orifices 211, thus fixing the seat 30.
The second guide set 40 includes two second rails 41 and a second rod 42; and the third guide set 50 includes two third rails and a third rod. Each of the two second rails 41 and the two third rails has a plurality of holes 411 defined thereon and spaced apart from each other equidistantly. One end of the second rod 42 is fixed to a front end of a first pedal 63, and one end of the third rod is fixed to a front end of a second pedal 73, two front ends of the first pedal 63 and the second pedal 73 are axially connected with the two connecting shafts 31, 32 of the seat 30. The second rod 42 and the third rod slide between the two second rails 41 and the two third guide rail. Two second positioning mechanisms 80 are disposed on two free ends of the second rod 42 and the third rod, and each second positioning mechanism 80 has two second balls 81 extend out of one of the plurality of holes 411, a second conical projection 82 pushed by a second spring 83 to keep its second largest segment 821 biasing against the two second balls 81, and a unlocking loop 84 for driving a second peg 85 to move the second conical projection 82 and to push the second spring 83, such that the second conical projection 82 moves toward a second smallest segment 822 to unlock the two second balls 81 so that the two second balls 81 retract inwardly to adjust a position of the first pedal set 60, the second pedal set 70, the second rod 42, and the third rod, thereafter the unlocking loop 84 is released so that the second spring 83 pushes the second conical projection 82 back to an original position, hence the two second balls 81 position one of the plurality of holes 411 so to fix the first pedal set 60 and the second pedal set 70.
The multifunctional fitness apparatus of the present invention is formed in a ladybug shape, wherein the seat 30 is like a head of a ladybug, a base 10 is like an abdomen of the ladybug, the first pedal set 60 and the second pedal set 70 are similar to two wings of the ladybug. Thereby, a shape of the multifunctional fitness apparatus is novel to increase user's interest.
