  • Patent number: 12145023
    Abstract: An electric treadmill includes a treadmill frame, an endless belt, a motor coupled to the endless belt for driving the endless belt to rotate, a brake device and a lifting device. The brake device has a rotating disc coaxially fixed to a motor shaft of the motor and a magnetic brake mechanism. The magnetic brake mechanism has at least one magnetic portion for applying a drag force against rotation of the rotating disc. The lifting device is operable to drive the magnetic brake mechanism to move between a first position where the magnetic portion is located close to the rotating disc and a second position where the magnetic portion is located away from the rotating disc. When there is no electric power supplied to the electric treadmill, the magnetic brake mechanism will automatically move to the first position due to gravity to stop rotation of the endless belt.

  • Patent number: 11944864
    Abstract: A motor brake device of an exercise apparatus includes a motor, a brake device and a lifting device. The brake device has a rotating disc and a magnetic brake mechanism. The rotating disc is coaxially mounted on a motor shaft of the motor. The magnetic brake mechanism has at least one magnetic portion. The lifting device is configured to drive the magnetic brake mechanism to move between a first position where the magnetic portion is located close to the rotating disc and a second position where the magnetic portion is located away from the rotating disc. The second position is located higher than the first position. When there is no electric power supplied to the exercise apparatus, the magnetic brake mechanism can move downward to the first position to stop rotation of the motor shaft by gravity due to potential difference between the second position and the first position.

  • Patent number: 8974353
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a stair exercise device for simulating stair climbing, the device having a plurality of steps which are activated by the weight of a person walking up them. A stationary platform at the base of the stair exercise device sends a signal to a controller to bring the exercise device to a controlled stop when an operator steps onto the platform. The steps of the exercise device stop in a predetermined location when the exercise device comes to a controlled stop, ensuring proper step location to allow the operator to easily enter and exit the exercise device. Steps have a step platform of a different color than the risers between steps to aid in foot placement.
