  • Publication number: 20070238586
    Abstract: An oscillated fitness bicycle structure includes a first driving apparatus and a second driving apparatus installed on a base, an eccentric portion on the first driving apparatus, a driving rod integrated to a handle support rod and disposed on a saddle support rod, a back-and-forth oscillation rod connected to the handle support rod and saddle support rod, and a resilient element for providing upward bounces anytime. When an exerciser sits on the saddle, the body weight of the exerciser pushes the saddle support rod downward and two driving rods drive a driving wheel of the first driving apparatus and a weight wheel of the second driving apparatus to rotate, such that the handle support rod and saddle support rod can perform leaping back-and-forth, up-and-down and sideway oscillations to provide an exercise similar to a horse riding exercise.

  • Patent number: 6808188
    Abstract: A steerable scooter is provided. The steerable scooter includes a single front wheel as well as two rear wheels that provides for leaning and directional control, with the front wheel and rear wheels arranged in a three-point, constant triangular formation that enables exceptional scooter stability and handling. Further, assisting wheels are installed on two sides at the bottom end of a rearwardly inclined front stem that are disposed marginally higher than and simultaneously articulated with the front wheel. Since the assisting wheels and front wheel form a triangular formation that is wide at the interior and narrow at the posterior, when the handlebar is turned for a larger angle, the arrangement is capable of effectively preventing slide out due to loss of lateral traction.

  • Publication number: 20040007089
    Abstract: An improved bicycle crankarm consisting of a crankarm having a fixed member and a swivel member. The swivel member provides for the mounting of a pedal. After mounting, the pedal is in a perpendicular state relative to the crankarm and provides for treadling. When the host bicycle is not being utilized or prepared for packaging, the pedal can be directly pivoted into an overlaid configuration relative to the upper and lower ends of the crankarm. As such, the host bicycle does not have the inadequate strength drawbacks that are often the case with a foldable pedal. At the same time, the present invention provides for operating convenience and effectively achieves the objectives of reduced physical dimensions and space.

  • Patent number: 6641159
    Abstract: A compound drive foldable bicycle consisting of a bicycle in an unfolded state having a length between the outer edges of a front and a rear wheel that is divided into three sections such that the rear wheel is swung up and down into the unfolded and folded state on a second drive shaft that serves as a pivot point, while the front wheel is horizontally swung into the folded and folded state via a foldable locking mechanism that serves as a pivot point and which is positioned on the down tube (or the top tube) and, furthermore, situated within the circumferential perimeter of the chainring. As a result, the rear wheel is postured at the lower extent of the chainring and front wheel is postured at the lower extent of the saddle when the bicycle is in the folded state such that it is of the smallest and most flexible physical dimensions to save space and reduce packaging material requirements, thereby facilitating storage, placement, and shipping.
