  • Patent number: 10646747
    Abstract: A twisting exerciser includes a base with a first shaft, a second shaft and a stop member respectively connected thereto. A first swingable unit and a second swingable unit are respectively and pviotably connected to the first and second shafts. The first swingable unit has a pad and first fan-shaped gear. The second swingable unit has a handle assembly and a second fan-shaped gear which is engaged with the first fan-shaped gear. The user holds the handle assembly, and the upper body and the lower body swing in opposite direction by the engagement between the first and second fan-shaped gears. The stop member limits the angle that the first fan-shape gears swings. The user may sits on the pad or stand on the pad to operate the twisting exerciser. The twisting exerciser is simple and safe.

  • Patent number: 10384111
    Abstract: A bicycle trainer includes a magnetic control damping device controlling a resisting force of a roller set to simulate stamp strengths required by a bicycle on various roads. A lifting device controls a support frame and a base seat to drive a front fork of the bicycle up or down to dynamically simulate states of the body of the bicycle on various roads, so that the actual effect closest to the bicycle running on an uphill, smooth or bumpy road can be achieved. In addition, a power generation device converts the rotating power, generated by the roller set, into the electric power for the dynamic simulation or other electronic devices.

  • Patent number: 10272286
    Abstract: A climbing exerciser includes a base having two parallel rail posts to which two sliding units are respectively connected. Each sliding unit includes a sliding rod, a handle and a pedal. The sliding rod is movably located in the correspondent rail post. A transmission unit includes two down chain wheels and two up chain wheels respectively and rotatably connected to the support. Two front chains are engaged with the down chain wheels and connected with the connection members. Two side chains are engaged with the two up chain wheels and connected with the connection members. A cable is engaged with two respective two stationary pulleys and connected to the two side chains. A magnetic-resistance unit is connected to the support and driven by the two up chain wheels. The two sliding posts alternatively movable along the rail post to simulate rock climbing actions.

  • Publication number: 20100179030
    Abstract: A flywheel mounting assembly for an exercise bicycle has a flywheel, a housing, at least one bearing, a holder and a hub. The housing defines a mounting space and an inner surface. The at least one bearing is mounted in the mounting space of the housing. The holder is tubular, has a mounting hole, an end rotatably mounted in the at least one bearing and an end extending through and being mounted securely with the flywheel. The hub is mounted securely in the mounting hole of the holder and has an axle extending through a center of the hub. Accordingly, weight and rotation of the flywheel is supported by the housing and stress is equally sustained by the housing, bearing, holder and hub. Therefore, deformation or distortion may be effectively prevented for smooth and stable flywheel rotation.
