The impact member can be used as the elastomer 252 shown in the figure of the '527 patent. The spring provides a restoring force that moves up or restores the pedals after the pedals are pressed down. However, it is preferred that the spring 252 be removed. Thus, in the embodiment of the invention, the impact member provides only one resistance and does not provide a recovery force. In an embodiment where no spring is used, the 1 impact member can be configured to provide a force within the range of 47 KgF to ι〇3 κ. The distorting resistance element is described in more detail below.

Thus, the pedal assemblies are not at the same height above the μ 14 and the endless belt 18 is also at the same two degrees. If the circle wp - as shown in Figure 18, the user's right foot and right leg are moved backwards and downwards from the position of Figure 7 7 . The left and left legs of the user are moved backward and upward from the position of the elderly person and the position shown in Fig. 17B. At this point, 'the user has closed the door*, and the second starts to take the left foot from the pedal belt on the left side of 33 1304347 in a forward step; therefore, the left heel and the user system Roll onto the spherical part of the left foot. In general, there will now be more weight on the right pedal than on the left pedal. 12, 18A and 18B

The pedal assembly 12B continues its downward motion and the left pedal assembly 12A continues its upward motion to the orientation of the device of Figures i3, 9A, and 1 . In Figs. 13, 19, and 19, the left pedal is higher than the right pedal, and the curved rocker 丨 12 pivots about the curved rocker pivot shaft 120 such that its right side will be lower than its left side. In this position, the user's right leg continues to move backwards and downwards. The user lifts his right leg off the left pedal and moves the right leg forward. At approximately the upper position of the pedal: belt, the user will step on the left side of the pedal belt. All of the user's weight is on the right pedal until the user places their left foot on the left pedal. The user continues to provide a downward force on the right pedal to force the left pedal up.

Figure 20, Figure 20, and Figure 20 show the pedal assembly 12Β on the right side in its lowered position and show that the pedal assembly on the left is approximately in its highest position. In this position, the user is at the front of the left pedal 22 and has started to the left. The user has also started lifting the right leg. The force on the left pedal will be transferred to the right pedal via Fu/8 via the interconnecting structure 78. The pedal on the right side can be lifted. Repeat: move = to Figure 2G (A m shows the cycle of the pedals, that is, the movement of the left pedal from the lower position 34 1304347 to an upper position and the right pedal from an upper position to a lower position Exercise. A complete crawling type of fitness cycle is represented by a pedal moving from a position and back to the same position, the movement consisting of a full upward stroke of the pedal (from; square to top) Position) and a complete downward stroke of the pedal (from the upper position to the lower position). For example, a step cycle associated with the left side of the pedal; the square position (the upper position of the right pedal) will include the left pedal The movement from the lower position up to the upper position and then down to the lower position. In another example, a step cycle associated with the middle position of the left pedal (see Figure 18) will include the pedal Upward movement to the upper position, downward movement from the upper position, through the intermediate position of 4 and to the lower position, and back to the middle position The upward movement of the pedal, the order of the downward and upward movement of the pedal does not matter. Therefore, the upward movement can be followed by the downward movement or the downward movement, and the upward movement can be continued to move the makeup image 10 and other patterns in a special configuration. The exercise device includes a step sensor 144 that provides an output pulse wave corresponding to the parent downward stroke of each pedal. The step sensor includes a magnet 148 and a The second reed switch 6 of the pickup 150 is coupled to the end of a bracket 丨52 extending upward from the curved rocker arm 11 2 . The bracket is for orienting the magnet. The θ is oscillated back and forth through the pickup, and the pickup is mounted on a bracket 1 57 connected to the salty curved rocker cross member 114. Each of the HI magnets 148 passes the pick The second reed switch 146 35 1304347

Trigger an output pulse wave. Therefore, when the right pedal 丨 2B moves downward, the name is opened to transmit an output pulse wave, which passes through the pickup corresponding to the magnet passing downward, and when the left pedal 12A moves upward, the yellow piece The switch also transmits an output pulse wave that passes through the pickup in response to the upward passage of the magnet. The output pulse train is used to monitor the pedal's swing and stroke count as the pedal moves up and down during use. It is also possible to determine the size of the ice or vertical stroke by arranging additional sensors substantially vertically. The output pulse waves can be used alone or in combination with the skin speed to provide an indication of exercise frequency and can be used in a variety of exercise related to calculations, such as for determining the user's The calorie burn rate.

As best shown in Figures 3, 6, and 16A through 2, in a particular embodiment, each pedal system includes a lower level component 154. The lowest level assembly includes a substantially H 156' interconnected between the inner side and the outer side of the pedal frame, the apex region of the V-shaped bracket is oriented downward, and the general definition defines a A flat mounting surface 158. A block (10) is a downward facing portion below the solid surface. When the exercise device is, ", preferably by means of a sleeve nut (m, 136), the pedals are configured such that when the pedal is in the 1st - lower position, the block 60 can be Maintaining a little above the latching lateral configuration #162 below. A buffer 164 can be secured to the lateral configuration 彳α for buffering when the pedal falls to the bottom. In the - (4) example The block system is manufactured as a hard, non-removable W. The block is also manufactured from a solid or flexible elastomeric polymer material in the form of a solid: flexural elastomer. In case the block is closed during use: ': when the component falls to the bottom, the block will provide some cushioning to enhance the buffer provided by the buffer, or when there is no The cushioning effect is provided when the buffer is provided. As described above, the fitness device can be constructed to form a lock-out, in the position, in the straight, and in the Pedal group

Figure 22 is a side view of the splitting mechanism, and the latching mechanism is in the missed:. Figure 23 is a partial side elevational view of the left front portion of the exercise device with the 忒 lock mechanism placed in the engaged position. The apparatus includes a gem mechanism having a lower (four) arm 168', the control lever 170 and an upper portion 172. The lower part of the second lock 168 is extended with a # from the front transverse:: backwards in "曰# & ,, β ^ ^ 1

The upper parts are connected to each other. The L locks on the left side and a right side latch branch pipe connection r 37 in 1304347! and 1 80 are pivotally connected around a common plug main pump 82. The left side flash lock branch connector is coupled to a left side slide bracket 184 which is slidably supported on a left side guide bracket 186. The right side latch pipe connection is connected to a right side sliding bracket 18", and the frame is slidably attached to a second or right V-floor* 190. The two sliding sills are mounted on the upper surface of the latching member 162 such that each of the guiding struts defines a guiding passage that extends substantially in one direction Between the front and the rear of the fitness device. In one embodiment, each of the guiding passages has a pair of upwardly extending side walls 192 for the combination of the lower and lower whites. The sliding floor systems define side walls 194 extending downwardly apart by a distance that is slightly greater than the distance between the upwardly extending side walls of the guiding sashes. A longitudinally extending elongated slot 196 is defined in the side wall of each guide passage. The narrow and long rituals are adapted to accommodate the inwardly extending studs 198 such that the v-studs are extended inwardly at the downwardly extending side walls of the sliding brackets. The sliding brackets are thus suitable for use in The front and rear extents of the sliding brackets are controlled by the length of the passage and the separation before and after the guide pin. The lock buffer piano 164 is attached to each other. The tops of the sliding brackets are connected. 20. Figure 20 shows an upwardly extending panel with two two, upper elongated slots 202, which are suitable for the bottom of the slotted hole 168 Defined as a branch of the narrow hole 204, 1 female Am. The downwardly extending retainer flange is moved. In the non-latching position (see 胄22), the lever arm 38 1304347 is held in the branch pipe narrow "within the hole portion" and held in place by the retainer flange. In order to lock the pedals, the lever arm is first pressed down to disengage it from the retainer flange, and Then the lever arm will be turned to the right or away from the The tube is moved by a narrow hole. Next, the lever arm is lifted up in the slot. The upward=action causes the lever arm to pivot toward the pivotal connection to the lever bracket 174. (d) The upward pivoting (iv) is achieved by a generally backward movement of the upper part of the lock: 172, which causes the support link (178' 180) to be in the sliding bracket (184, 186). And the buffer slides back along the guiding path. A control rod (not shown) can be connected between the blocking assembly and one of the cross members to assist the user in blocking the The components are moved in a "locked" position. Prior to actuation of the latching mechanism 162, the pedal assemblies are oriented at substantially the same level relative to each other, the towel causing a stop block suspended from the bottom of each pedal The body 16G is oriented at a vertical position of approximately (four). In this position, the latching assembly is moved rearwardly such that the bumper 164 is moved rearward into engagement with the stop block. The rearward portion may be tapered toward one end. For this purpose, the bumpers may be wedged under the stop blocks to configure the exercise device in "locking, setting, and pedaling" It is forbidden to move up and down. In order to install the device, the user can step directly onto the pedal assemblies 12 and begin fitness. Alternatively, the user can step on a footstep 208 that extends outwardly from the side of each of the pedal sets, 丨m 〃卞2, on 39 1304347. , the mother; the foot platform defines a flat mounting surface 21 〇. ; = substantially with the adjacent pedal assembly and the upper belt surface pair to increase == has a bulge or other type of ...% of the user's shoes or the foot 盥 疋丨 疋丨 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 Touch.

Figure 27j shows a 2 exercise device using an alternative rear mounting platform 214 in accordance with the present invention. The rear mounting platform includes a single foot platform that extends rearward from the rear portion of the pedal assembly 12 and is at the same level as the rear portion. In order to assist in transporting the exercise device, certain embodiments of the exercise device can be constructed such that the pedal assemblies 12 can be lowered into a transport position from which the pedals can be easily lifted upwards Moves and is quickly bounced into the operating position. Figure 24 is a perspective view of the exercise device lowered into the transport position, and wherein the left and right side shins 40 and 42 and the console 50 are disconnected from the exercise device 10. Figure 25 is a partial perspective view of the curved rocker arm assembly 112 lowered into the transport position. For an exercise device constructed such that the exercise device can be lowered into the transport position, the pivoting axle 120 of the curved rocker arm is spring loaded such that the axle can be lowered to the keyway 11 6 in. As shown most clearly in Figure 15, the pivoting wheel of the curved rocker arm: ί I3043p47^ H(4) The surrounding flange 218, the diameter of the flange is greater than any part of the key # ii6, including The pivot opening "8. The end cap also defines a collar 22 disposed inwardly from the flange 218 (the diameter of the collar is greater than the downwardly narrowing of the keyway, but less than the diameter of the pivoting opening. The shaft % supports the curved rocker arm assembly 12 in the twist opening during use. To reduce the curved rocker arm assembly, the end cover 2 is from the curved rocker The arm extends outwardly. When the military cap is pulled out, the collar is supported by a smaller diameter exposed member (the pivoting axle). The pivoting axle is dropped Among the keyways, as shown in Fig. 25, lowering the curved rocker arm system causes the pedal assembly 12 to pivot downward until the stop block 160 falls to the bottom and is located on the latching cross member 162. Constructing the exercise device in its fitness use "orienting the curved rocker arm assembly to be lifted (e.g., by lifting the steps: side)" such that the pivoting axle can move upwardly within the keyway Turning the hole in two or two. Because the pivoting axle is spring-loaded, when the axle is aligned with the =-turning hole, the collar 22G is inwardly bombed. Shot into a wide position of the pivoting opening, the curved rocker arm is firmly fixed in the ^, W and the opening hole and is ready to be used. The Z wheel 222 and the front cross member The 176 is connected. The 226 后方 rear panel (see Figure 7) includes a pair of grips to open the hole in the structure but can also use the rear of the other grip Lr. The wheels will engage the device. In this way, the user can easily roll the fitness 41 1304347 2 to a different position. Alternatively, one wheel or multiple wheels. Although the rear of the device is raised and the grip is tied What is not visible in the front is that two wheels can be used - one or more wheels. Or other devices to easily move the alternative resistance element above:::, as shown 28 to the resistance element 76 in Fig. 34 and the downward movement of the anti-resistance pedal discussed in Fig. 26. The resistance is the fitness equipment i 10 - recorded "linkage system is provided during use, each use secret '疋 and smooth back and forth feeling.

In addition to this, the user's legs and resistance elements can be Adjusting the resistance elements (...the lower movements also slows down the orientation of the pedal assemblies U to enhance the user's exercise, the use of muscles, and the burn rate of the calorie. Various embodiments of the encounter and force exercise devices It is also possible to use a resistance under the two components 12 (four) and also to act to move the exercise device in the pedals. The resistance is changed and the adjustable resistance is changed. The need for the pedals to be actuated is also modified by the user to be constructed to provide the user with various levels of effort in the use of the fitness device. In addition to this: use, the speed used in the device, the speed of the Hai belt can be adjusted 42 1304347

In order to increase or decrease the level of effort of the user during use of the exercise device. The resistance and belt speed can be adjusted together or individually to provide a wide range of fitness levels. The difference between the resistance elements shown in Figs. 1 to 26 is that the resistance elements described below with reference to Figs. 28 to ® 34 are seated on the material pedal. In addition to these other advantages, these configurations provide an alternative aesthetic configuration of an exercise device consistent with the present invention. In addition, in some cases, a single resistance element or a coordinated resistance element may be used to concentrate on the two pedals. These configurations are useful for the uniform resistance of the two steps, which helps to ensure equal force required to actuate the two pedals. These configurations also help to adjust the resistance at a single point. Figure 28 shows an alternative resistance according to one embodiment of the present invention. Many parts of the exercise device are not shown in Figures 28 and 2: in order to clearly show the resistance structure 1 The blocking structure includes a rotating elastic member (10) between the arm assembly 112 and the frame m. One of the ends of the rotating elastic member (such as the elastic steel member) is attached to the curved rocker arm at the rear of the fixed bracket.嗲 ^ 撑木系 4 L ϋ ϋ 杯 杯 大体上 大体上 大体上 大体上 大体上 大体上 大体上 大体上 大体上 大体上 大体上 大体上 大体上 大体上 大体上 大体上 大体上 大体上 大体上 大体上 大体上 大体上 大体上 大体上^ The opposite ends of a frame cross member can be fixed to the 卞I, the sill (not shown in Figure 28). The end portion of the curved rocker arm group and the pair of ends can also be fixed to the locking cross: the eye, the $', and the pivoting or shaking of the phase rocker arm. This causes the rod to twist back and forth 43 1304347 turns. The characteristics of the rod are such that the rod resists twisting action and resists downward movement of the pedal. When the user completes a trip (ie, one of the pedals is at the bottom of its stroke and the other pedal is at the top of its stroke) and is stepped on the pedal in the upper position, the lever Will not twist and help lift the pedal at the bottom of the stroke. Therefore, some of the resistance elements disclosed herein also help 2 to return a pedal to an upward movement as shown in Figure 28 when the user removes the load on the pedal. The curved rocker arm assembly 112 can also be packaged = There is a forwardly extending rotatable mounting bolt 232, and the nail is: offset from the 柩 wheel # 12G of the fox-shaped rocker... a two-way impact member 23) can be connected to the nail Connected to the frame together and framed.

In the other case, the pivoting axle 120 for the curved rocker f 112 extends outwardly from the curved rocker arm and is supported in an elongated struts 246. The bracket includes a first upstanding section 248 defining a first pivoting opening 46 1304347 and a second upstanding section 252 defining a second pivoting opening 254. The curved rocker pivot axle 12 is rotatably supported in two pivot openings. A pulley will also be coupled to the pivot axle 120. The pulley 256 is coupled to a cable and spring structure 258 in a manner to assist in the rotation of the pulley and to restore the pulley to the desired field position. When the pulley is operatively coupled to the curved rocker arm = pivoting axle, the cable and spring structure also contribute to the rotation of the curved rocker and associated The pedals move _ up and down. In addition, the cable and magazine structure will also attempt to return the arc rocker arm to its neutral position, i.e., the two pedal assemblies 12 are approximately parallel. In a particular embodiment, a first cable 260 is attached to the left side member of the frame when the pulley is in a position associated with the neutral position of the curved rocker arm 112. 32 is between the upper or lower part of the pulley. A second cable 262 is attached between the right side edge member 34 of the frame and the opposite portion of the pulley. Therefore, if the first cable is connected to the tongue of the lower portion of the pulley, the second cable will be connected to the upper portion of the pulley. A spring 264 is inserted between the side members (32 or 34) and one of the cables (260 or 262). A second spring 266 can be inserted between the other side member and the other cable. In this configuration, a pivoting curved rocker arm causes the pulley 256 to rotate, which wraps around the pulley and retracts the spring or the springs. Therefore, the scorpion yellow line contributes to the associated downward movement of one of the pedals. In addition to 47 1304347, when the load is removed from a downwardly positioned pedal, the spring will rotate the pulley in a manner to move the pedal upward. Figure 33 is an isometric view of a resistive element % using a nylon belt 268 lined with a baby hair product, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. For this embodiment, a bracket 27 extends downwardly from the rear of the pedal assembly. The truss is configured to pivot forward and rearward with the main shaft 82 of the pedal about the drive axle. A pulley Μ is attached to the main frame in front of the bracket. A nylon belt that is made of f wool is attached to the bracket 27g at one end, and its route is bypassed by the pulley and connected to the frame by a spring 27 at the other end. 14. In this configuration, a nylon belt lining the felt is resistant to the downward movement of the pedal. The downward movement of the pedal assemblies 12 causes the brackets to be dragged back ' and pulled on the belt. The pulley 272 is constructed so as not to rotate; thus, the friction between the belt 268 and the pulley acts to resist and moderate the downward movement of the pedal. [The pulley system is combined with the expandable resistance of the missile. . By tensioning or relaxing the belt, you can increase or decrease the downward resistance of the pedal, respectively. Increasing or decreasing the downward resistance will affect the amount of force the user needs to actuate the pedals. Figure 34 is an isometric view of an exercise device using an alternative pedal resistance element % in accordance with the present invention. In this embodiment a < T, a central member 274 is longitudinally disposed between a rear cross member and a front cross member 278.

A left side and a right side pulley (10) are attached to the front side member 278. a winding 286 is connected to the left portion of the second curved rocker arm 280, the route of the twisting line passes under the left side pulley 272 and reaches up to the bottom of the left side pedal assembly n and is connected 7 Component. A second cable is connected to the right side of the second curved rocker, the I line being routed through the right side of the pulley and to the bottom of the right side pedal assembly and to the pedal assembly. - Single, 290 is connected between the left portion of the second curved rocker and the front transverse member 278. A first trajectory 292 is connected between the right side portion of the second curved rocker and the front cross member 278. In order to display Figure 34, the resistance is from AA 4. A — 70 pieces of force, the following discussion is false = the right pedal is in the lower position, and the user is on the left side to transmit = 1 push. The downward pushing force on the left pedal is passed through the brother-arc rocker arm " 2 to cause the right pedal to pivot L. The upward movement of the right pedal is dragged on the right I line 288, causing the right side of the second curved rocker arm to start to the front side. The forward pivoting of the right side of the first curved rocker arm By left. One of the bits is pivoted backwards to reach. The forward pivoting system 49 1304347 of the right portion is moderated and resisted by the expansion of the right impact member 282. The rearward pivoting of the left portion of the second arc is resisted by the compression applied by the left impact member. Through the interconnection of the cable and the pedal, the equal expansion and compression will act to moderate and resist the movement of the pedal. In addition, when a portion of the second curved rocker is rearward, the corresponding spring (290, 292) extends.

Figure 35 is a % view of a resistive element in accordance with an example of the present invention. The δ hai resistance member includes a clutch slanting member 296, and the yaw deflection member 294 and a yaw deflection member (4) are cut into an axle 29 extending coaxially or continuously from the curved rocker axle 120. Among the 1 squares, the axle is rotationally elastic and fixed to a slanting member. Alternatively, the axle is called a surname from the glaze to smash a rigid member. The off-state member 294 includes an inner panel 300 that is fixedly U-turned to a bracket 302. The bracket is coupled to the arc-shaped rocker, so that the bracket and the inner panel can be curved. The rocker wheel axle arm is 12 〇 near the arc-shaped rocker 浑1丨2彺. The clutch assembly also includes an outer panel 304 coupled to the axle. A sturdy composite material member 306 is placed between the inner panel and the outer panel. A tensioning bracket 308 is towed by the Korean New York w t Μ ^ , and is rotated to be supported by the frame below and in front of the detached member 294.兮辂 Ζ. ^ ^ 4 The axle system extends through an elongated slot in the tension struts (^^1 is not visible in the figure). The upper portion of the tensioning stay is connected to a tension cable 3 1 0. The tensioning cable 50 1304347 extends in front of the tensioning bracket and its distal end is connected to a tensioning 'red button (not shown). In a particular embodiment, the biasing member includes a (four) spring 312 that is seated between the tensioning boom and the outer panel 304. The spring is offset from the outer panel by the clutch (four). Thus, the clutch plate member is proportional to the pivoting provided by the spring! It is proportional to the pivoting of the 5 hp curved rocker arm. The tensioning of the tensioning ridges pulls the windings and the wires to increase the biasing force, or loosens the easing to reduce the biasing force. In a special embodiment, the clutch material is a UHVw plastic luim. i^L· / Figure % is a hydraulic cushioning device connected to the secret rocker f 112 An isometric view of = 14 ... a pulley 316 is attached to the pivoting axle 120 of the curved rocker. The hydraulic damper is connected to the pulley by a belt 3 =. The hydraulic mitigation device may be a type of propulsion crying "personal, the propeller is located in a liquid-filled fluid; the mitigation device is constructed to impinge on the pedal to the arc-shaped rocker Resistance element. The alternative interconnecting structure of the upper stalker is the upward and downward pivoting movement of the interconnecting structure discussed herein.兮玄弧开/摇#臂组# 112 is a kind of interconnected structure. " On the other hand, the downward movement of the pedal is caused by the action of the curved rocker arm to cause the other pedal to move upward. The following circle 37 is used to provide an alternative road connection structure. θ System 51 1304347 Referring first to Figure 37, a formatted front view of an example of an exercise device ι according to the present invention is shown. The exercise device includes a vertically mounted three-pound interconnect structure 320 that is supported on a cross member 322 that is coupled between the upper portions of the posts (4, 42). A first pulley 324 is attached to the lateral member above the front side of the left pedal 12A. A second pulley 326 is attached to the cross member and is located in front of the right pedal 丨 2B

square. A third spring loaded pulley 328 is attached to the cross member between the first and second pulleys. The cables 330 are routed and interposed between each of the pedal assemblies 12. In particular, the cable 矣 = is connected to the front of the pedal assembly, and is routed, and the route is set in the way of the top of the top of the second and the second pulleys. A downward movement of a pedal will cause a downward force to be applied to a portion of the cable that is connected to the pedal.

A thin wire or easing element is connected to the front of the pedal, and a plate # 332 shoulder and the pedal frame are combined in one way ^ R φ WA , type, D, D for the front roller (not shown in the figure) The front of the 延伸 / 的 的 ... ... 下 下 下 下 下 下 下 下 下 下 下 下 下 下 下 下 下 下 下 下 下 下 下 下 下 下 下 下 下 下 下 下 下 下 下 下 下 下 下 下 下Cable force. Therefore, the cable and the sliding action on the "曰π, whereby, the direction of the pedals; = an interconnected structure. The movement causes the other pedal to move up the third pulley 328 for the selectivity. And may or may not be bounced with a yellow load of 52 1304347. When the load is loaded, the third pulley provides a mitigating force against the cable regardless of the direction in which the cable moves. Therefore, each The downward movement of the pedal will be transmitted by the third spring loaded pulley through the line of sight, and the net connection, therefore, the 5H interconnect structure will also be constructed to provide a pedal, cymbal and role. In addition, the iron The wire can be made of a slightly elastic material for the user to lift up and down the pedal: some additional cushioning or cushioning of the downward pedal movement.

Decadence, the first and second pulleys 324, 326 are removed and the cable 330 is routed over the third pulley. The third pulley may or may not incorporate a cushioning device. The buffer configuration 4 having the third pulley can use a configuration similar to that shown in Figs. 28 to 36. For example, a rotating elastic member similar to that shown in Fig. 28 can be coupled to the third pulley axle. A flat magazine similar to that shown in Fig. 29 can be coupled to the third pulley, and - a respective A clutch configuration or hydraulic resistance configuration as shown in Figures 35A-36 can be combined with the third pulley or other pulley.

Figure 38 is a front elevational view of an exercise device in accordance with the present invention using an alternate interconnect system that includes a pair of slides 2:2: 6) and a liquid dust mitigation assembly 334. κ 39 is included in this embodiment, and the first and second pulleys are missing: a cross member 332 similar to the embodiment shown in Fig. 37. In this embodiment, the third pulley is replaced by an impact member which is disposed on the cross member of the double wheel. Of course, the third pulley is either bi-directional; I; "..." and the exercise device is constructed to have an alternative 53 1304347:: or does not have any buffer system. As shown in FIG. The second: about a cow includes a shock member (four) 336 containing hydraulic fluid.

The ##_f#338 series extends through the cylinder and extends outward from each of the impact members. - The inner diameter is substantially the same as the inner diameter of the cylinder - the base 340 is connected to the piston rod. The piston system defines at least an opening 342' fluid through which the fluid can flow in any of the other directions. Because the 5H impact parts are constructed to resist left and right movements. A right side cable 344 is routed to the front side of the right side pedal assembly 12B to bypass the right side pulley 326 and is coupled to the right end of the piston rod member 338. A left cable 346 is connected to the side of the left pedal set 12A, the route bypasses the left pulley 324, and is coupled to the left end of the piston rod. The downward movement of the right pedal pulls the right side of the wire and the right movement of the piston rod and the piston via the cable. Therefore, the impact member moderates the downward movement of each pedal. In addition to this, the piston rod member transmits the downward force of one pedal to the upward force on the other pedal.

Figure 40 is a front elevational view of one of the exercise devices using a multi-pulley configuration. A pulley 348 is coupled to the crotch portion of each of the pedal assemblies 12. The pulleys are arranged to be cut above the tread belt 18, and the four pulleys are positioned above the end of the pedal of the upper cross member 322. A first pulley 35 is pivotally mounted to the upper cross member above the right front corner of the right pedal: a second pulley 352 is pivotally mounted to the left corner of the right pedal Upper cross member 322 above. A third pulley, 4 Series 54 1304347, is pivotally mounted to the upper cross member above the right front corner of the left pedal. A fourth pulley 356 is rotatably mounted to the upper cross member above the left front corner of the right side pedal. The route of a single cable 330 bypasses the six pulleys in a meandering manner. The route of the cable passes over the outer first pulley 35 and the fourth pulley 356, the path of which is downward and below the pedal pulleys 348, and over the inner second and third pulleys (352, 354). In this way, the downward movement of one pedal causes an upward force to be applied to the other pedal i. A configuration 4 having a plurality of pulleys (such as the one shown in Fig. 40) distributes the load of the pedal to the plurality of pulleys and the plurality of portions distributed to the cable, in this case four distributed to the cable Sections. In Fig. 40, among the impact members in this case, the resistance member % is connected between the upper cross member and the plate cow located at the front of each pedal. The impact member such as 6H can be used with (4)' discussed in relation to Figures i to 2 and other figures and may or may not be used. The figure shows another = sub-view of the exercise device that is connected to each other using multiple pulleys. A pulley 348 is attached to the square of each pedal assembly. These pulleys are tangentially dislocated with the upper portion of the tread belt. In this example "the two pulleys are rotatably mounted on the upper member". The first pulley 35Q is pivotally mounted to the upper cross member above the right front corner of the :: side pedal A second π* 356 is pivotally mounted to the upper rib member above the left front corner 55 1304347 of the left pedal. _ I ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ W The route of the line 330 The four pulleys are bypassed in a meandering manner. The route of the 兮whai 矣 矣 line crosses the first pulley 3 5 0 and the younger _ pulley 3 5 6 of the hundred ifj Gan a / , 4 ' The route is downward and located below the pedal pulleys 3 4 8 , the day a ^ , the soil - up to the cross member 322 located above the interior corners of the pedals and connected to the configuration of the transverse multi-ply The way (as shown by β 41) distributes the load of the pedal to multiple pulleys and distributes | the knife to multiple parts of the line, in this case the four sections distributed to the mirror .

In some embodiments of the exercise device, the belts 18 are mounted on the first and second pedal sets #12 with a substantial amount of tension. In general, the 1st pedal components are constructed to be aligned such that they are parallel to each other U, and the tension among the belts tends to pull the pedal assemblies toward each other and lose alignment, possibly The inner portions of the pedal assembly can be caused to rub against each other during operation of the exercise device 10. In order to help slow down this situation, a sliding plate 358 can be installed on the pedals.

The pedal members are held in a structure that is parallel with respect to each other. As described above, the pedal assemblies can be interconnected by an arcuate rocker assembly 112. As shown in Figures 42 and 43, the rail members can be mounted on one of the inward faces of the L racks 126. The thickness of the rail plate is sufficient to completely fill the gap between the inward faces of the opposing l-shaped brackets (3). When the tension of the belt forces the = components toward each other 'the inward face of an L-shaped bracket will press against the rail plate member that is fixed to the opposite face, the towel prevents the pedal assemblies from actually facing each other 56 1304347 Move and lose parallel alignment. Although the rail plate is described herein and discussed as being mounted between the L-shaped brackets of the pedal assemblies, it should be understood that the rail members can be mounted to the pedal assemblies. Between the other inner parts to maintain a parallel alignment. Since the L-shaped brackets are forced to resist each other and pass the sliding plate member, friction may exist on the surface between the rail plate member and the bracket. Therefore, the rail plate member can be constructed from a material that is easy to reduce these frictional forces. For example, the slid plate can be fabricated from a variety of materials such as plastic, fiberglass, and the like. In one embodiment of the invention, the sliding plate member is manufactured by DuPont Delrin® 1®. The rail plate member 358 can be coupled to the exercise device in any manner to properly position the rail plate member between the pedal assembly members 2. For example, the sliding plate member can be coupled to one of the L-shaped brackets. As shown in FIG. 44, the sliding plate member is coupled to the inner side of the right L-shaped bracket 126. In this configuration, the sliding plate member moves up and down as the pedal assembly pivots. The rail plate member is constructed to have a sufficient height such that the rail plate member remains in contact with the inner side of the L-shaped bracket during pivoting of the entire range of the pedal assemblies. In another embodiment, the slide plate member can be coupled to the bottom of the frame of the exercise device and can extend upwardly between the L-shaped brackets. In the configuration of the foot, the two rocking brackets slide up and down on either side of the rail plate. The rail plate member can be constructed to have various shapes and sizes. For example, as shown in FIGS. 45 and 48, the rail plate member has a front and a rear of a rectangle defined by 57 1304347 - a right side 360 and a left side 362, wherein the left side and the right side are A top side 364 and a bottom side 366 are separated. The thickness of the rail plate member separates the front and the rear. As shown in Figure 45, the front of the rail member is defined by a flat front surface 368. As shown in Fig. 48, the rear of the rail plate member is defined by a pattern of ribs 370. The rail plate member can be attached to the L-shaped bracket in various ways, such as screws, rivets, glue, and the like. The rail plate members shown in Figs. 45 to 48 are constructed to be connected to the swaying frame by screws. Therefore, the slide plate member includes a first screw hole 374 & a second screw hole 7.6, the screw holes are along a central spindle seat on the front surface, and the first screw hole system It is seated above the second screw hole. As shown in the figure, the screw holes may have a beveled surface so that the screw heads will be seated flush with or below the surface of the rail plate member, and the screw heads and the L-shaped frame 126 are prevented. The upper part is rubbed, and in the basin, the I rail plate is not connected to the upper part. In order to assist the slide rail member to be placed on the inner surface of the L-shaped bracket, the slide rail member includes a main bolt 378 which extends from the rear as shown in Figs. 46 and 47: When the rail plate member is mounted on the inner side surface of the L-shaped swing frame, the user inserts the stud bolt into a corresponding stud hole, and the hole hole is seated on the L-shaped bracket Among the inner sides (see Figure 1〇::: shows the stud hole, but the rail plate is not shown). It is easier for the user to insert the screw hole of the slide plate. The corresponding screw hole in the upper part of the support frame. 58 1304347 Although the invention is described above in the above "" the column has been subjected to a certain degree of traits, ^, those who are familiar with the art can not deviate from the spirit of the invention.
