Abstract: The present invention relates to a rope type folding mechanism for an exercise treadmill. Each end of the U-shaped handrail is provided with a rope wheel whose shaft is pivotably mounted on the extension part at the top of each of the supporting arms. Thereafter, a strong rope is fixed at one side of the rope wheel and pulled downward to the bottom of the frame. When the U-shaped handrail is raised and turned around the shaft, the rope wheel is also rotated to pull the strong rope upward. Thereafter, the frame is raised up to the top by means that the rear roller is turned around the first pivot.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a work-indicating unit of a magnetic control exercise apparatus. A plurality of circuit board sets corresponding to magnetic resistance elements are positioned around a flywheel. Each circuit board has several sensing elements and light-emitting elements (e.g. monochromatic or polychrome LED). Each sensing element corresponds to a magnet set of the magnetic resistance elements in order to detect the resistance voltage value produced by the flywheel in unit time in cooperation with the magnetic resistance elements. Thereafter, the resistance voltage is used to actuate the light-emitting elements. Accordingly, the work of exercise in unit time is learned by means that the light-emitting elements light up or go out.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an elevatingly folding unit of an electric exercise treadmill having a main frame, a deck frame, a belt-driving assembly and an elevatingly folding unit. The deck frame is interposed between two foot seats, including a deck and a continuous belt. And the belt-driving assembly is disposed at one end of the deck frame to drive the continuous belt for a cyclical rotation. In addition, the elevatingly folding unit is used for the deck frame to perform an elevating or a folding action. This folding unit makes use of a servomotor to drive the transmission spindle through a gearbox such that a slide shaft is movable forward and backward. The slide shaft is pivoted with two elevating rods while the other end thereof is pivotally mounted on a fixing shaft of the deck frame. When the slide shaft moves forward and backward, a relatively elevating action will be created at one end of the deck frame.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a low-loaded exercise treadmill comprises a base and a frame. The frame includes a platform and a continuous belt which extends around the platform and is rotatably supported by front and rear rollers by mean of being driven by a motor. The rear end of the frame is fitted with a coupling piece which is pivotably connected to the base while the front end thereof includes a movable supporting bar which is attached to a resilient member at the bottom end thereof. Moreover, the resilient member is located at a proper position of the base. Based on the assembly of the aforementioned members, when the front end of the frame is pressed, the frame is downwardly inclined by means of the simultaneous displacement of the supporting bar. After the loading is reduced gradually, the frame restores itself by means of the extending force of the resilient member so that the frame can make ups and downs movement repetitively.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a simplified geared scooter which includes deck assembly, a handlebar, a front wheel assembly and a rear wheel assembly. One end of the handlebar penetrates through the deck assembly and is pivotably connected to one end of the coupling mechanism.
