Abstract: A stationary exercise apparatus includes two connecting members each having an upper end guided to move along a circular path and a lower end coupled to a swing member, so that when the upper end moves along the circular path, the lower end moves along an arc-shaped path. Two supporting members are configured to support a user's feet, which are coupled between the upper end and the lower end of the respective connecting members and movable along a closed path. Two control members each is arranged between the corresponding supporting member and the corresponding swing member for guiding the second portion of the corresponding supporting member along a predetermined path, so that an angle formed between each supporting member and the corresponding connecting member varies as the corresponding swing member moves along the arc-shaped path between a first endpoint and a second endpoint.

Abstract: A slat-belt treadmill is provided. The slat-belt treadmill includes a treadmill frame, a front shaft pivotally coupled to the treadmill frame, and a rear shaft pivotally coupled to the treadmill frame; a plurality of slats constituting a slat-belt, collaboratively rotating about the front and rear shafts, and forming an exercise surface on which a user of the treadmill may walk or run; a driving apparatus coupling to the slats and driving the slats to rotate about the front and rear shafts; and a light-emitting unit disposed under the exercise surface to provide a light source. When the slats are rotating, light from the light-emitting unit is intermittently visible as the slats intermittently block and reveal the light.

Abstract: A stationary exercise apparatus includes a frame; two moving members respectively coupled to the frame, one end portion of each moving member located to define a swing axis; two swing members, one end portion of each swing member pivotally joined to the swing axis of the moving members; two supporting members respectively connected to the swing members, wherein one end portion of each supporting member is movably coupled to the frame, the other end portion of each supporting member is joined to the respective swing member so that one end portion of each supporting member moves along a reciprocating path; and two pedal sets respectively coupled to the supporting members, the pedal sets moving along a first path while the one end portions of the supporting members are reciprocating along the reciprocating path and the other end portions of the supporting members are rotating about a rotating axis.

Abstract: According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a stationary exercise apparatus which not only can a user exercise alternately with one leg lifting and the other leg pressing but the exercising paths thereof are capable of being adjusted so that the user is capable of exercising with different postures and motions and having more abundant exercise types. For the sake of safety, stability, and convenience, the supporting portions for the user to step on have specific orientation angles and don't rotate arbitrarily to different positions at every point of the exercising path.

Abstract: A power operated exercise apparatus includes two drive mechanisms configured to drive a left pedal and a right pedal, and a position measuring device, force measuring devices for measuring positions and force conditions of the pedals. A control unit is configured to control the drive mechanism and receive measurement content of the measuring devices, and storing a plurality of exercise programs for being selected by the user. During at least one specific operation period, the control unit repeatedly determines in which directions the left pedal and the right pedal should be moved according to information of positions and force conditions of the pedals so as to meet the displacement path and the correlation of a selected one of the exercise programs and to immediately control the left drive mechanism and the right drive mechanism to respectively drive the left pedal and the right pedal to move in a determined direction.

Abstract: An exercise apparatus includes a frame adapted to be rested on a floor surface, a crank mechanism that has two cranks mounted on the frame, two swing members pivotally mounted on the frame, two connecting assemblies, and a guiding device. Each of the two connecting assemblies has a plurality of connecting rods connecting the respective crank and the respective swing member. The two connecting assemblies define two pedal portions for supporting a user's feet, and up-and-down movement of the pedal portions causes rotation of the two cranks along a circular path. The guiding device is configured to connect the two swing members for guiding swing movement of the two swing members within a predetermined swing range. The predetermined swing range is adjustable so as to provide various exercise paths.

Abstract: A stationary exercise device having variable footpaths is disclosed. The exercise device includes a frame, a pair of supporting members that have a first end to rotate about an axis and a second end to move along a reciprocating path, a pair of pedals joined to the supporting members, and a guider assembly for adjusting an incline angle of the reciprocating path.

Abstract: The present invention provides a treadmill for allowing an exerciser to perform walking or running exercise on an endless belt. The treadmill is selected to be operated in a forward movement mode or in a reverse movement mode. In the reverse movement mode, a control unit of the treadmill controls a driving device to drive a top surface of the endless belt to slide forward for allowing the exerciser to simulate backward walking. When a detecting device detects that the exerciser enters a warning area in front of a normal range of movement, a reaction mechanism would be triggered to control the driving device to slow down or stop the endless belt. In the forward movement mode, the control unit controls the driving device to drive the top surface of the endless belt to slide backward and to disable the reaction mechanism.
