ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER

An elliptical trainer comprises a frame set, two first transmission rods, two second transmission rods, two footboard assemblies, a holding flywheel assembly, a stand flywheel assembly, and two eccentric link rods. When a user is stepping the two footboard assemblies and taking exercise with elbows on the two second transmission rods, the two footboard assemblies may be stepped up and down to recycle and each second transmission rod may be rotated to reciprocate along an arc and centered in a stand ear. At this time, each drag rod of two stand ears arranged right and left may pull the corresponding eccentric link assembly to rotate 360 degree and the torque of the third flywheel may not overlap each drag rod of each eccentric link assembly vertically. Accordingly, the arrangement of each eccentric link assembly may prevent the swing operation from being stuck to pause or operate unsmoothly.

Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to an elliptical trainer, and more particularly to an elliptical trainer capable for being stepped elliptically.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The conventional elliptical trainer is used for consuming the movement of stepping by stepping the footboards to drive the flywheel(s), such as inertia wheel. The flywheel may be user to drive the drag rod through a flexible member, such as belt. However, when the drag rod is pulling the flywheel to rotate, the torque of the flywheel may be overlapped the drag rod so that the total torque is zero to result in that the flywheel is unable to be driven or rotates unsmoothly.

In order to solve above drawback, China patent no. 201010563057.7 has disclosed that a magnetic actuator is used to prevent the flywheel from stopping rotating. However, if another magnetic member is used, the cost may be higher and increased and alignment is necessary while assembling to prevent from vibrating and swinging.

In addition, the footboards and the handlebars of the conventional elliptical trainer are linked so that they may not step up and down or operate with the handlebars separately and individually. Therefore, the conventional elliptical trainer may only provide to swing forward and backward and step elliptically. It may not provide to step up and down individually. Besides, the damping of the conventional elliptical trainer is performed by the magnetic-control wheel. It is unable to train the hands or feet individually. The amplitude and range of the damping is controlled electronically or by hand. It is inconvenient to use.

Accordingly, the present invention may be stepped up and down and swung forward and backward. The ranges of moving up and down and forward and back may be adjusted while the user is training based on the amount of exercise. The damping is not necessary to be controlled electronically or by hand. Obviously, the functions and operations of the present invention are improved.

In view of the foregoing circumstances, the inventor has invested a lot of time to study the relevant knowledge, compare the pros and cons, research and develop related products. After quite many experiments and tests, the “elliptical trainer” of this invention is eventually launched to improve the foregoing shortcomings, to meet the public use.
