Sit-up exerciser
A sit-up exerciser has a body and a back bracket. The back bracket is mounted on and pivotally connects to the body. Multiple elastic elements transversely connect to the lower end of the back bracket and the body. When a user's back presses against the back bracket, the back bracket can be pivoted relative to the body. Meanwhile, the user should resist the resilient force of the elastic elements to keep exercising. Furthermore, the exerciser has a small volume for convenient storage.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a sit-up exerciser, and more particularly to a sit-up exerciser with a small volume and easy to be moved.
2. Description of the Related Art
At present, all kinds of exercisers are introduced into the market for people to exercise indoor such as walk exercisers, weight lifters, etc. However, a conventional sit-up exerciser is rare in the market and is usually set up in the gym. Furthermore, the conventional sit-up exerciser has a large volume and a heavy weight with inconvenient moving.
Therefore, the invention provides a sit-up exerciser to mitigate or obviate the aforementioned problems.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe main objective of the present invention is to provide a sit-up exerciser with a small volume and easy to be moved.
Other objectives, advantages and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
With reference to
The body (10) has two parallel and curved side stretchers (11), a back stretcher (12), a seat (15) and a front stretcher (14). Each side stretcher (11) has a foot integrally formed in an end of the side stretcher (11) so that the foot can stand on the ground to support the body (10). The back stretcher (12) is provided transversely between the side stretchers (11) and has multiple evenly-spaced hooks (120) respectively defined in the back stretcher (12) and two fasteners (13) mounted on a middle of the back stretcher (12). The seat (15) is mounted transversely between front parts of the side stretchers (11). The front stretcher (14) is mounted transversely in a low front end of the seat (15).
The back bracket (20) is mounted between and extends upward from the side stretchers (11) and has two rods (21), multiple evenly-spaced cylinders (22), a post (23) and multiple elastic elements (24). The rods (21) are respectively mounted pivotally on the fasteners (13) of the body (10) and respectively have an lower end. The cylinders (22) are mounted transversely between the rods (21). The post (23) is mounted between the lower ends of the rods (21), aligns with the back stretcher (12) and has multiple hooks (230) corresponding to the hooks (120) on the back stretcher (12). The elastic elements (24) are mounted between the back stretcher (12) and the post (23) and each elastic element (24) connects to the corresponding hooks (120) on the back stretcher (12) and the post (23). In this preferred embodiment of the present invention, the elastic elements (24) are springs.
The armrest assemblies (30) are mounted respectively on two sides of the body (10). Each armrest assembly (30) has a mounting bar (31) and an armrest (32). The mounting bar (31) engages with the front stretcher (14). The armrest (32) is arcuate and connects to the mounting bar (31).
