  • Patent number: 9199116
    Abstract: An exercise device comprises a frame, a rotational mechanism, a left and a right coupling mechanism, and a pace-adjusting mechanism. A supporting structure is upwardly extended from the front end of the frame. The rotational mechanism is arranged at the supporting structure. The left and right coupling mechanisms are arranged at a side of the supporting structure, respectively. One end of the left and right coupling mechanism couples to the rotational mechanism, and the other end respectively comprise a left and a right pedal assembly for making a moving path. The pace-adjusting mechanism comprises a left and a right linkage assembly, a left and a right swing assembly, and a driving device. The pace-adjusting mechanism can alter the pace length of the left and right pedal assembly.

  • Publication number: 20150238809
    Abstract: An exercise device comprises a frame, a rotational mechanism, a left and a right coupling mechanism, and an adjusting assembly. A post structure is upwardly extended from the front portion of the frame. The rotational mechanism is arranged at the post structure. The left and right coupling mechanisms are arranged at a side of the post, respectively. One end of the left and right coupling mechanism couples to the rotational mechanism, and the other end respectively comprise a left and a right pedal assembly making a moving path. The adjusting assembly comprises a left and a right linkage structures with two ends, in which one end couples to the post and the other end moveably couples to the left and right pedal assembly. By changing the angles between the left and right linkage structures and the post structure, the pedal assemblies are moved to determine a step distance.

  • Patent number: 9072942
    Abstract: An integrated flywheel set for exercise equipment includes a base plate, a flywheel that is coaxial with the base plate and arranged such that an accommodating space is formed between the flywheel and the base plate, a magnetic damper unit that is deposited on the base plate and received in the accommodating space and provides magnetic attraction to hinder the flywheel from rotation, and a transmission that is received in the accommodating space and configured to drive the flywheel to perform an inertial motion. Thereby, the integrated flywheel set has the magnetic damper unit, a driving wheel set, a driven wheel set, and a multiplying wheel set integrated on the base plate, allowing exercise equipment to have its internal space used more effectively, and making the production and maintenance of the integrated flywheel set easier, thereby providing economical advantage.

  • Patent number: 9050485
    Abstract: An elliptical trainer with a variable track is disclosed. The elliptical trainer has a base, a left and a right linkage, a transmission and a left and a right adjusting assembly. The linkages are connected to an upright posts extending upward from the base, respectively. Each of the linkages includes a pedal set configured to slide with respect to the linkage. The transmission deposited on the upright post drives the pedal sets to perform reciprocal elliptical motions. The adjusting assemblies are pivotally connected to the upright post, respectively, and serve to change an elliptical track along which the pedals move. Thereby, the elliptical track varies by expanding or retracting along only a major axis thereof. When using the elliptical trainer, a user will not need to step higher as the elliptical track expands. This design is more ergonomic and adaptive to users with various body heights and habitus.

  • Patent number: 8979713
    Abstract: A pedal motion path adjustable elliptical trainer includes a base frame, a rotating mechanism assembly, a lifting mechanism, a sliding mechanism and a control mechanism. The lifting mechanism is biasable relative to the base frame, including a rail holder, a support member and two sliding rails. The rotating mechanism assembly includes two cranks coaxially pivoted with one of each of the ends thereof to the base frame, and a support link set pivotally coupled between the other ends of the cranks and slidably coupled to the sliding rails. The control mechanism is mounted between the base frame and the rail holder to control the angle of deflection of the lifting mechanism. The sliding mechanism is pivotally coupled between the control mechanism and the rail holder. Thus, the invention allows quick adjustment of the pedal motion paths, training different muscles of the legs.

  • Publication number: 20130237379
    Abstract: A pedal lifting mechanism for use in an elliptical trainer includes a base, a lift bracket pivotally connected with the base for supporting pedals of the elliptical trainer thereon, and an inclination adjusting device mounted in front of the lift bracket. When a driver of the inclination adjusting device is actuated, a driving rod of the inclination adjusting device is changed in its length by the driver, such that a frame of the inclination adjusting device, which is pivotally connected between the driving rod and the lift bracket, is driven by the driving rod to move the lift bracket upwards and downwards relative to the base. Thus, the inclination angle of each of two pedals of the elliptical trainer is adjusted to change the paths of the pedals of the elliptical trainer.
