The depth of the plunger will partially control the resistance of the impact member. Preferably, the recovery spring shown in Figure 4 of the '587 patent is removed. It can be used in the present invention. Special impact parts in a consistent exercise device are shown and described in the "Independent acti〇n stepper", Wu Guo 5th, 622, 527, issued on April 22, 1997, which reveals The contents are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. The impact member can be pivoted with the spring 252 shown in Figure 1 of the '527 patent. The spring provides a restoring force that is applied to the pedal. After pressing down, the pedals are moved up or restored. However, it is preferable that the magazine 252 is removed. Therefore, in one embodiment of the invention, the impact member only provides a resistance and does not provide- Restoring the force. In an embodiment where no spring is used: the impact member can be configured to provide a resistance of 纟47 KgF μ 1G3 KgF =. The alternative resistance element is shown in more detail below in Figures 10 to 14 For the partial isometric view of the exercise device, the mutual (four) connection structure of the pedals is shown. Each of the figures H) to the figure, = shows the interconnection structure in different positions. Figure 15 is a side of the mutual J structure. View 'This structure is located in the same position. Figure is the same as T, T) to Figure 2 (A'B) for the fitness " special angle view, which corresponds to the view body shown in Figure 14. :Special implementation of the interconnect structure of Figure 15 and other figures 1 28 1304349 The interconnect structure includes an arcuate rocker arm assembly ι 2 that is pivotally supported on a solitary rocker laterally On the member ι 4, the cross member extends between the left and right side members 32 and 34 of the frame. The rocker arm assembly is operatively coupled to each of the pedal assemblies 12. As best seen in Figure 15, the curved rocker cross member defines: each upright portion of the u-shaped transverse section QU defines a key, 116 (see, for example, Figure 14 and Figure 25). The top of the keyway defines a center of rotation U8, and the orphaned rocker arm includes a curved rocker-A 12G' which is supported and extends between each (four) turning hole for pivoting The curved rocker arm of the building. As described in more detail below, the keyway provides a path for moving the interconnecting structure between "transport, position" and "use". % The left and right outer portions of the curved rocker arm include a first- or left-side lower pivoting (four) 122 and a second or lower right pivoting stud 124, respectively. _一支#着—(4)—The upper pivoting stud US is generally = L-shaped truss 126 extends downward from the inner or right side of the left pedal assembly, such that the upper pivoting stud can be The upper side is supported in parallel below and outside the inner member. A second sway 132 that supports a generally U-shaped second ridge 130 extends from the right pedal and extends downwardly from the inner or left side member 54 of the member 12B such that the squat = pivot stud can be body The upper portion is supported in parallel below the inner member and a first rod member 134 is coupled between the left upper and lower pivoting pins 8 and 122. A second rod #136 is attached to the upper right side and 29 1304349: between the square pivot studs 130 and 124. The levers connect the pedals to the 4-arc rocker f. In a special implementation, each rod (134' 136) will occupy and occupy a sleeve nut with an adjustable length. The sleeve nut of the shell is above and below the pivot. The transfer stud is connected in a configuration to open the 7 138. - A sleeve nut defines an upper and a lower and a total, less than a wide threaded sleeve 140. Each threaded sleeve system taps a circular pocket with opposite ends 1 to support a tow ball. The pivoting studs are supported in the pivoting balls, the bars defining oppositely threaded ends, each end being supported in a corresponding threaded sleeve . As will be discussed in greater detail below, the pedal assemblies 12 can be latched' so as not to undergo nuclear revolutions about the rear mainshaft 16. When latched, the belts 18 of the pedal assemblies collectively provide an effective single non-pivoting tread-like step surface. One of the two sleeve nuts 36 is adjusted by the rotation of the rod 142 during or after assembly of the exercise device: the height of the two pedals can be precisely aligned 'making the two pedal belts Parallel stride surfaces can be provided in the locked position. The child interconnecting structure 78 (eg, the curved rocker arm assembly) interconnects the left side pedal and the right side pedal such that when a pedal (eg, the left side pedal) pivots about the rear spindle 丨 6 When going down and then up (four), another step (for example, the right pedal) will coordinately pivot down the main axis and then pivot upwards. Thus, the two pedals are interconnected in a manner to provide a stepping motion 30 1304349 in which one pedal is achieved by a downward motion and vice versa. In this two: the other one pedal up single during this stepping action, whether it is: single or 疋 and a stepping action, the curved rocker f 112 will be the % curved rocker spindle 120 pivots or shakes. Referring now to Figures 10 to 14, with βr / 14 and Figures 16 (A, B) to 20 (A, B) ' from the exercise device i. A similar (four) motion system provided by the action is described in more detail. A representative user (hereinafter referred to as "user") is shown facing forward in Figures 16B to 20B. The user is moving forward and the device is constructed for use in the type of Saki 'Also, R causes the pedals to reciprocate back and forth. The motion of the foot as shown is for the representative of only one user. In some cases, the pedals, and the members 12 may not be at the top. The position moves between the position and the lowest position, but moves at the point between them. In some cases, the user may have a shorter or longer step than shown. In some cases, the user can walk backwards, or can face rearward, or can face rearward and backward. In Figures 10 and 16A, the left pedal assembly 12A is located in a lower position and the right pedal assembly The 12B is located in an upper position. Referring to Figures 10 and 14, the left side of the curved rocker arm 12 is pivoted downward and the right side of the curved rocker arm 12 is pivoted upward. Figure 6B The middle 'shows the user's right foot Front and on the front part of the tread belt. In the orientation of the user shown in Fig. 16B, in the use of the forward-facing crawl type, the user's left leg will be extended downward and backward' and used Most of the weight is on the left pedal. 31 1304349 The user's right leg will extend in the knee ^ ^ bow WI, so that the user and the foot "start to press down on the right pedal h. w m ., j day 7 increase board. From the orientation shown in Figure 16B, the user will convert the complex 艟铋 ym, weight to a balance between the right leg and the left leg 曰 1 and begin to press the right leg with the pot ^ ^ eight To force the pedal on the right side down. Due to the movement of the belt, a l ^ ^ foot will move backwards from the position shown in Figure 16B. Figure U, Figure 17A and Figure 17B show the device ι Orientation, and the user is located in a position after the position shown in Figures 1G, 16A, and 16B. The pedal assembly (4) on the right side is pressed down, and the right pedal assembly is shaken through the fox. The lever interconnecting structure % causes the left pedal, and the member 12A to start to rise. The user's right foot moves backward and downward from the position indicated by the eyepiece 6β. The user's left foot moves backward and upward from the position indicated by w MB Figures 12, 18A and 18B show the pedal assembly i2B on the right side, the scoop is in the middle of its upward stroke, and the pedal assembly i 2 A on the left side is approximately in the downward stroke of the towel. So, the pedal components are almost in the box At the same height above the frame 14, and the endless belt 18 is also at the same height. As shown in Fig. 18A, the user's right and right legs are moved rearward and downward from the position shown in Fig. 17B. The user's left foot And the left leg moves backwards and upwards from the position shown in Fig. 17. At this point, the user has begun to lift the left foot from the pedaling belt on the left side in taking a forward step; therefore, The heel on the left and the user roll onto the ball on the left foot. In general, there will now be more weight on the right pedal than on the left pedal. 32 1304349 Figure 12, Figure 18A and Figure 1 After the orientation shown in Fig. 8B, the pedal assembly 12B on the right continues its downward motion, and the pedal assembly 12A on the left continues its upward motion to the orientation of the device shown in Figures 19A and 19b. In Figures 13, 19A and 19B, the left pedal is higher than the right pedal, and the curved rocker 112 pivots about the curved rocker pivoting spindle 120 such that its right side will be lower than its left side. In this position, the user The 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 his left foot on the pedal belt. The uranium is placed on the right side of the pedal until the user places his left foot on the left pedal. The user continues to provide a downward force on the right pedal, forcing the left pedal to go up. Figure 14, Figure 20, and Figure 20 show that the pedal assembly 12β on the right side is approximately in its lowest position and shows that the pedal assembly DA on the left is approximately in its highest position. In this position, the user has stepped down. On the front portion 22 of the left pedal and already starting to press down with the left leg. The user has also begun to lift his right leg. The downward force on the left pedal will be transferred to the right pedal via the interconnecting structure 78 so that the pedal on the right can begin to lift. Figure 16 (A, Β) to Figure 20 (A, Β) show the half cycle of the reciprocating motion of the pedals, that is, the movement of the left pedal from a lower position to an upper position and the right pedal from above Position to a lower position «. A 4 solid complete limp type of {building loop is a pedal from a certain position of motion and back to the same position to table ^ ^ whale 33 1304349 movement includes a full 叮% of the pedal (from below Position to the upper position) and a complete downward position of the pedal to the lower position). For example, a step cycle associated with the left pedal setting (the upper position of the right pedal) will move the left pedal up from the lower position to the upper position and then down: the movement of the lower position. In another example, a step cycle associated with the left pedal: = position (see Figure 18) will include an upward movement of the pedal to the upper position, a downward movement from the upper position, and a passage through the middle. Position and reach the lower position, and the upward movement back to the middle position. The order of the downward and upward movement of the pedal does not matter. Therefore, the movement can be continued downward movement or downward movement can continue upward movement 0 _ Figure 1 () and other drawings, in a special configuration, the fitness includes a step sensor 144 It provides an output pulse wave corresponding to each pedal's Γ fixed τ stroke. The step sensor is a second reed switch that includes a magnet 148 and a pickup 15 (). The side magnets are connected to an end portion of the magnetic (=) 152 from the curved rocker arm 1 1 2 . The bracket is magnetically oriented such that the ife swings back and forth through the picker 'and the picker is mounted on the bracket 1 57 to which the rocker cross member 1 14 is connected . When the two-wire 148 passes through the pickup 11 150, the second reed switch 146: the pulse waves are rotated. Therefore, when the right step 12B moves downward to the next 4', the slice (five) relationship transmits an output pulse wave, the # line corresponds to the magnet 〇 passing through the pickup, and when the left pedal 12A moves upwards 34 1304349 ' The reed 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 depth or vertical stroke by arranging additional sensors substantially vertically. The output pulse waves can be used alone or in combination with a belt speed signal to provide a display of exercise frequencies and can be used in a variety of exercise related calculations, such as for determining the calorie burn of the user. In the rate. As best shown in Figures 3, 6, and 16A to the drawings, in a particular embodiment, each pedal system includes a lowest level component 154. The lowest level assembly includes a generally contoured 165 that is interconnected between the inner and outer members of the pedal frame. The apex region of the V-shaped bracket is oriented downwardly and generally defines a flat mounting surface 158. A block 160 is secured to the downward facing portion below the mounting surface. # When the exercise device is assembled, it is preferred to configure the pedals by means of sleeve nuts (134, 136) such that when the pedal is in its lowest position, the block 160 can be held in A little above the latching lateral configuration (6) below. A buffer 164 can be secured to the lateral shot 162, with 10,000 - buffered when the pedal is at the bottom. In one embodiment, the system can also be made of a hard, non-flexible (tetra) glue. The block is made of a variety of solid or flexible elastomeric polymeric materials. Among the = (four) morphological forms, 10,000 - the block will provide a buffer - 35 1304349 2 for the cushioning effect provided by Qian Chong ^ when the blocking W member is dropped to the bottom. Or provide buffering when using a buffer. There is a "lim", the fitness device 1 can be constructed to be located in - a lock (1〇ck-〇ut), a cans, χ ^ position, in which the pedal components 2 Do not pivot up and down. In a special closed locking direction, the piece is turned purely (4) such that the tread belt is parallel with respect to the rear of the body and is approximately at one::: : For a front-facing use, the user can simulate an uphill downhill step. In the case of a 4-party use, the user can simulate a circle 21 as a partial isometric view of the left front portion of the exercise device according to the present invention. The left erect portion of the device is removed for clarity to show the particular locking mechanism 166. Figure 22 is a partial side view of the left side of the exercise device, and the locking mechanism is unengaged Figure 23 is a partial side view of the left front portion of the exercise device, ==: the mechanical device is in the engaged position. The locking mechanism is fitted with a generally dome-shaped lever arm 168, Control arm arm system 2: a lower part 170 and an upper part Portion & 172. The lower portion of the lever arm lock 168 is rotatably coupled to a lever 174 extending from the front transverse mechanism (7). The upper portion of the LOCK 168 is - The left and right side latch pipe joints 178 and 180 are pivotally connected around a common twisting spindle 182. The pipe connector is connected to a left sliding bracket 184. The sliding way is supported on a left guiding bracket

on. The right side latch stub connector is coupled to a right side slide bracket 丨 88 that is slidably supported on a second or right side guide bracket 190. The two sliding brackets are mounted on the upper surface of the latching cross member 162 such that each of the guiding brackets defines a guiding passage that extends substantially in one direction to the exercise device Between the front and the rear. In one embodiment, each of the guide passages includes a pair of upwardly extending side walls 192. The sliding brackets define side walls 194 that extend downwardly apart by a distance that is slightly greater than the distance between the upwardly extending side walls of the guiding brackets. A longitudinally extending elongated slot 196 is defined in the side wall of each guide passage. The elongated apertures are adapted to receive guide pegs that are inwardly extending from the downwardly extending side walls of the sliding brackets: extensions. The sliding skis are thus adapted to move forward and backward in the vicinity of the guiding passages. The forward and rearward extents of the sliding brackets are connected by channels 1 64 to the top of each sliding bracket. As shown in Fig. 21, an upwardly extending panel defines an upwardly extending slot 2, 2 which is adapted to receive the lever arm 168. The bottom of the narrow hole defines a branch, a narrow hole 2 0 4 part, a basin and an ancient - Λ, , Β Γ: two non-two lock: set (see Figure 22), the control remains in the narrow and narrow Among the holes, and in the proper position. In order to lock the pedals, the lever is depressed downwardly to disengage it from the retainer flange, and then the lever arm is moved toward the right or away from the branch slot. Next, the lever arm is lifted up in the slot. This upward motion causes the lever arm to be pivoted up to the lever bracket 174 against the pivotal connection. This upward pivoting action is achieved by a generally rearward action of the upper portion of the latch, 172, which causes the support link (178, 180) to be in the sliding bracket (184, 186). And sliding in the buffer along the guiding path backward. A lever spring (not shown) may be coupled between the latch assembly and one of the transverse landscaping members to assist the user in moving the latch assembly into the "lock" position. Prior to the latching mechanical mount i 162, the pedal assemblies are oriented at substantially the same level relative to each other, resulting in the stop block 160 suspended at the bottom of each pedal being oriented at approximately the same vertical position. In this position, the latching assembly is moved rearwardly such that the bumper 164 is moved backwards and the rearward of the stop block punch can be tapered toward the end. Thus, the devices can be wedged. Under the stop blocks, the exercise device is constructed in a "lock" device, and the pedals are prohibited from moving up and down. In order to install the device, the user can directly step on the device. Waiting for the pedal assembly 12, and starting to exercise. Alternatively, the user can step on a foot that extends outward from the side of each pedal assembly 12. Figure 1 does not 'each The platform defines a flat mounting surface 2 1 〇, and the U-face is substantially aligned with the adjacent pedal assembly and the upper belt surface pair 38 1304349. The mounting surface may have ridges or other types of features. To enhance the tactile sensation between the user's shoes or the foot and the mounting surface. As shown in Figure 2 and other figures, each platform is secured to an outwardly extending platform support 212. The platform truss is secured to and extends outwardly from the left and right frame members (54, 56). Figure η shows an exercise device using an alternative rear I platform in accordance with the present invention. The rear mounting platform is a bag. The bay has a separate foot platform that extends rearward from the rear of the pedal assembly 12 and is at the same level as the rear portion. The exercise device, some embodiments of the exercise device can be constructed such that the pedal assemblies 12 are lowered into a transport position, and the pedals are easily moved to a position Moves up and is quickly snapped into the operating position. Figure 2 is a perspective view of the exercise device lowered into the transport position, and wherein the left and right posts 40 and 42 and the console 5 are attached to the exercise device 1 The connection is interrupted. Figure 25 is a partial perspective view of the Fox-shaped rocker arm assembly (1) lowered into the transport position. For an exercise device constructed such that the exercise device can be lowered into the transport position ^ The curved arm of the curved rocker arm 120 is loaded with a 'load I' so that the axle can be lowered into the keyway 。6. As shown most clearly in "15, the curved rocker shaft includes An end cover 216. Each end cover includes a = surrounding flange 2 1 8 , the straight ! of the 绫 系 is greater than any position of the key 丨丨 6 , including the pivoting N18. The end cap also defines a _ from the 39 1304349 flange 2 1 8 inward? m. , r x of the ring 220. The collar of the collar is extended by the keyway slot, but the second line is larger than the downward ring system during use. The length of the hole is #1"1. The axis is supported between the 4 pivoting holes. 12. In order to reduce the low-curved rocker arm assembly of the curved rocker arm assembly of the fangs, the end from the curved rocker arm virtual 6 & σ 卩 cover 2 18 series, outward Extending. When the cover is supported on a small straight rain, shaft % shaft), the pivot axle is dropped on the keyway pivot wheel. Lowering the curved rocker arm #^ 馉Among them, as shown in Fig. 25, the pedal assembly 12 will cause the pedal assembly 12 to be dragged down to the bottom, and the stop block 160 will fall f/. The rotation will be straight to the bottom. P is located at the blocking cross member 162. Constructing the exercise device in its fitness or "use, set = two: Γ-shaped shake: the arm assembly is lifted (like by lifting the same, month j, so that the pivoting axle can be in the keyway) Move up to the pivoting opening. Because Ak± shifts the W hole because the pivoting axle is spring loaded, when the axle is aligned with the turning opening, ^ ^ glaze % 220 The inner projectile is fired into the pivoting opening ^. In this position, the orphaned rocker arm is firmly fixed in the 6th and the opening hole and is ready to be used. The wheel 222 is coupled to the front transverse structure # 176. (d) The rear panel of the body H) (see FIG. 7) includes a pair of grips 226. These grips are elongated openings' but other grip structures can be used. By lifting the rear of the device, the wheels engage the surface of the device. In this way, the user can easily scroll the exercise device to a different location. Alternatively, one or more wheels may be provided behind the device and the grip is seated in the front. Although it is shown that two wheels 'may use one or more wheels 1304349: a sliding plate, roller, or other device' is used to easily move the alternative resistance element and is depicted in Figure 28 to The resistance element % in Fig. 34 and the impact member (丨〇8, 丨丨〇) discussed in Fig. 1 to Fig. 26 are the downward movement of the anti-pedal. Resistance to this downward movement is provided during use: fitness gown i 1 〇 A stable and smooth reciprocating feeling i. Furthermore, when the user steps on or land on the belt, the downward pedal motion absorbs - some or many initial impacts - which is beneficial to the user's legs and off. . & In addition, the resistance elements (some of which are adjustable) will also slow down the movement of the pedal components and enhance the user's exercise, the use of R meat, and Carlo. The burning rate in the room. Various embodiments of the exercise device of the present invention may use a resistive device to increase or decrease the downward force required to actuate a pedal. In some cases the resistance structure herein may also act to provide a variable and adjustable resistance to the downward movement of the pedal assemblies 12. Changing the force required to move the exercise device sequentially changes the amount of effort required by the user to actuate the pedals. Thus, the exercise device can be constructed to provide an effort by the user during use of the exercise device. In addition, the speed of the belt can be adjusted to increase or decrease the user's efforts during the use of the exercise device. This resistance and belt speed can be squashed or individually squashed to provide a wide range of fitness levels. 1304349 Unlike the resistance elements shown in Figures 1 through 26, the resistance elements described below with reference to Figures 28 through 34 are seated below the pedals. In addition to these other advantages, these configurations provide an alternative aesthetic configuration of the exercise device in accordance 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 contribute to the uniform resistance of the two pedals' which helps to ensure the 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 member 76 in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. Many parts of the exercise device are not shown in the figures and other figures to clearly show the resistance structure. The damper resistive structure includes a rotating elastomeric structure 228 that is interconnected between the arcuate rocker arm assembly 112 and the frame 114. In a particular embodiment, one end of a rotating elastic member (such as a spring steel rod) is attached to the rear of the bracket 23G, wherein the label is connected to the shaking Rod arm. The lever is generally coaxially aligned with the curved rocker pivot axle 12 。. The opposite ends of the rod can be secured to a frame cross member (not shown in Figure 28 < One end of the lever member can also be coupled to the front of the folio rocker arm assembly, and the opposite ends are secured to the latching cross member 162. During use, the swaying or shaking action of the curved rocker arm causes the lever to twist back and forth. 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 located at the bottom of the line, the bottom of the cymbal, and the other pedal is at the top of the line 42 1304349) and begins Stepping down in the upper position: Step 2: Lifting the twist and helping to be at the bottom of the stroke. Some of the resistance elements disclosed in this article also help to return a pedal to an upward load when the pedal is loaded. As shown in FIG. 28, the curved rocker arm assembly 112 can also include a forwardly extending rotatable mounting peg 232 from which the pivoting system 234 can be blooded. ^ Be partial. - A two-way impact piece. The yoke is connected and pivotally connected to the frame, Τ#, and the stud is offset from the pivoting axle to the impact member. The longitudinal axis of the impact member is attached to a generally tangentially rotating mounting stud. Configured in this manner, the punch and the pedal assemblies are interconnected 2 to move. Since the downward movement of the pedals of the curved rocker arms will also act to alleviate the human resilience of each of the members of the striking member 8 and ... when used together, 1 is rotated. When combined with the impact member, the yoke member is twisted in the opposite direction to help the slab from the slamming of the slamming position to the upper position. Figure 29 is an isometric view depicting the replacement of the resistance element 76 including a force of a few percent, which is an operable flattening, which is connected to the eyepiece connection 78. The twisting is coupled to the (four) shaped rocker arm assembly 112 and the other ends are coupled to a frame cross member 36.

Therefore, the torsion flat magazine will also assist the interaction. The pedals will be properly oriented in Figures 30 and 31 as an additional alternative. The resistive element includes one or more outer portions for engaging the left and right sides of the curved rocker arm. Figure 3 shows A particular embodiment of a resistive element 'uses a spring tab 242. Figure 31 shows an embodiment of a particular alternative resistive element in which a coil spring tab 244 is used. (iv)® 3〇' each spring Is placed in a manner that facilitates the downward movement of one end of the curved rocker arm, and 44 1304349 is used to accelerate or push up the curved rock to use the The other end of #. During use, when the portion of the curved rocker arm is hung, the leaf spring will be deflected downward: =:: downwards to slow down the pedal. In addition: the downward deflection will cause the M^^^ field user to remove the weight from the pedal, and the downwardly deflected spring will move up the curved rocker arm and the corresponding pedal. $ " In the embodiment of Fig. 31, φ, - η 9 , .. a coil spring will resist the upward movement of the arc-shaped portion 2 connected to the portion of the elastic. However, the bobbin 244 will also resist the downward movement of the same, r, double, ° and awkward 12. For example, when the pedal on the right side of the lower arm + the left side of the arm resists the cymbal, the cymbal will cause the magazine on the side of the curved rocker to pivot downward with a force of =: From the downward movement against the right pedal. In addition, when the user applies the pedal to the private side of the pedal, the slider pulls the left side of the curved rocker and pivots upwards against the pedal of the shell. The right side of the curved rocker. Therefore, := yellow will help restore the pedal on the right to its upper position, preparing the user for the next downward push. In two: again: an isometric view of an alternative pedal resistance element 76. In the example, the pivoting axle 12 for the curved rocker arm "2 extends outwardly from the curved rocker arm and is supported by the W^shaft 120 246... and is supported - The first straight two 7-segments of a long-shaped bracket are erected by a "first-pivoting opening 250" [^ 248 and a second erect stern of Dingshan 乂 ,, out - a second pivot The opening 254 is supported by the m rocker pivot 12. It can be rotated in one turn. A pulley 256 will also be connected 45

C S 1304349 to the pivoting 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 attempt to restore the pulley to an airborne position. When the pulley is operatively coupled to the slewing axle of the curved rocker arm, the cable and the spring structure are also useful for the rotation of the curved rocker and related The upward and downward movement of the pedals. In addition, the cable and spring 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 lower portion of the pulley, the second cable will be connected to the upper portion of the pulley. A spring 264 is interposed between the side members (32 or 34) and one of the cables (26 or 262). A second spring (10) is inserted between the other side member and the other cable. In this configuration, one: a rotating curved rocker arm causes the pulley 256 to rotate, and this will wrap around the pulley and retract the spring or the springs. Therefore, the ^ system contributes to the associated downward motion of the pedals. • In addition, in ancient times, when a downwardly positioned pedal was removed, the spring would rotate the pulley in a manner to move the pedal up. Figure 33 is an isometric view of a 46 1304349, a resistive element %, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, which utilizes a nylon belt 268 that is viewed as a & For this embodiment, a bracket 27 extends downwardly from the rear of the pedal assembly 12. The bracket is configured to pivot forward and rearward with the main shaft 82 of the pedal about the drive axle. A pulley 272 is attached to the main frame in front of the bracket. The Nie 4 skin with the charm as the outline is connected to the bracket at one end, and its route is bypassed by the pulley and connected to the frame by an elastic 271 at the other end. Wood 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 27 to be turned back and pulled over the belt. The pulley 272 is constructed so as not to rotate; thus, the friction between the pulleys of the belt 268 acts to resist and moderate the downward movement of the pedal, wherein the pulley is combined with the expandable resistance of the missile. . By tensioning or loosening the belt, you can increase or decrease the downward resistance of the pedal. 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 center = member: 74 is longitudinally disposed between a rear cross member Μ and a 丨 J square rib member 278. The front side of the belt is equipped with a piece 274 1 . The arc of the embodiment of the exercise device is substantially the rear member of the position shown in Figs. 1 to 25, and the second arc-shaped rocker arm is also mounted on the arm. The central arc is mounted on the first curved rocker arm assembly 112.

The moon square' is configured such that the second curved rocker arm can pivot in a horizontal plane on one of the solid shells. Impact member 282 is coupled between each outer end region of the second curved rocker arm and the rear cross member 276. A left side and a right side pulley 284 are attached to the front cross member 278. A cable 286 is attached to the left portion of the second curved rocker arm 280, the cable routing through the left pulley a" and up to the bottom of the left pedal assembly 12 and is coupled to the pedal assembly. A second cable 288 is attached to the right side of the second curved rocker, the cable routing through the right side of the pulley and to the bottom of the right pedal assembly and to the pedal assembly. A spring 290 is coupled between the left portion of the second curved rocker and the front cross member 278. A second spring 292 is coupled between the right portion of the second curved rocker and the front cross member 278 ~ The horse has to display the operation of the resistance element of Figure 34. The following discussion assumes that the right pedal is in the lower position and the user pushes down on the left pedal. Push down on the left pedal :: Pass the first-arc rocker arm (1) to cause the right pedal to be I: K. The upward movement of the right pedal is on the right side of the line 288 and ^ causes the second fox-shaped rocker to The right part begins The forward pivoting of the right side portion of the front side portion 2 = τ is swelled by the forward pivoting of the left impact member portion, and each is resisted. The second arc is pivoted to the rearward J position of the left side. It is pulled by the left impact member and resisted. The restraint is relieved by the compression of the t #单仟282, see the interconnection of the pedals, the impact parts

48 1304349 Expansion and compression will act to moderate and resist pedal movement. Spear, 匕Field No. - _ part of the orphaned rocker The corresponding play (29.,) will extend. When one of the pedals L is used to move down on the opposite pedal (four), the extended spring acts to pull the corresponding portion of the curved rocker arm forward. The figure is an isometric view of the resistance element 76 according to an example of the present invention. The hop resistance member includes a clutch member 294 and a slanting member 296, which is a sloppy member, a raft member. Supported in an axle 298_L extending coaxially or continuously from the curved rocker axle. In one embodiment, the axle is rotationally resilient and fixed to a cross member.人七从. The human money shaft can be a rigid member. The separation member 294 includes an inner panel that is fixed to the bracket 302: 'the bracket is connected to the curved rocker arm ΐ2, The P panel in the bracket can be reciprocated back and forth along the arc rocker 112 near the solitary rocker axle 12G. The clutch member 294 also includes an outer face 304 connected to the wheel. The clutch material member 3G6 is sandwiched between the inner panel and the outer panel. Clutch:::Γ2ΓΤ=Γ地被(4) The frame is squared and squared. The 5th wheel shaft extends through one of the crowning, > Long narrow holes in the wood (not shown). The tensioning portion is attached to a tensioning wire 31. The tensioning I: the front of the tensioning bracket extends 'and its distal end is connected to a tension not shown in the figure.) In one embodiment, the bias includes a spring 312 that is seated between the tensioning frame and the outer cover panel 304 of the 49 1304349. The spring biases the outer surface fe against the clutch material. Therefore, the clutch plate member resists pivoting of the arcuate rocker arm in proportion to the magnitude of the biasing force provided by the bullet. The rotation of the tensioning knob pulls the wire' to increase the bias Inclining the force, or relaxing the winding to reduce the biasing force. In a particular embodiment, the clutch material is a super-high molecular weight (UHMW) pattern 36 - and the arc An isometric view of the hydraulic damper 3i4 to which the rocker arm 112 is coupled. A pulley 316 is coupled to the pivoting axle 12 of the orphan rocker. The hydraulic damper is by means of a belt 318 Is connected to the pulley. The hydraulic damper can be a class that uses a propeller 'The propeller is located within a chamber filled with hydraulic fluid. The mitigation device is constructed to strike a resistance element by the arcuate rocker on the reciprocating back and forth of the pedal. Alternative interconnection Structure The interaction structure discussed herein functions as a heart-turning and up-and-down pole-turning motion of the board. For example, in accordance with the present invention, the curved rocker arm assembly 112 is a °邳 connection structure. Paradoxically, the movement of one pedal to the lower mouth is operated by the curved rocker arm, causing the other pedal to move upward.

Linking the following Figures 37 to 40 # I does not provide an alternative road connection structure. ', one of the fitness devices 10 δ hai fitness device includes 3 20, which is supported in the first reference to Figure 37' - according to the example (10) of the present invention, the first four pictures are displayed - a vertical installation The three pulleys interconnect the structure 50 1304349 to the rank member 322 which is connected between the upper portions of the pillars (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 above the front side of the right side pedal 12B. A third spring loaded pulley 328 is attached to the cross member between the first and second pulleys. A cable 330 is routed through the three pulleys, interconnected, and " between the parent pedal assemblies 12. In particular, the cable is coupled to the front of a pedal assembly and is routed over the top of the first and second pulleys and below the third spring loaded pulley. In this way, the downward movement of a pedal will produce a downward force on a portion of the cable that is connected to the pedal. At the junction of a cable or mitigation element with the front of the pedal, a panel 332 is coupled to the pedal frame in a financial manner for extension in front of the front roller (not shown) to provide a connection Attach the surface of the cable or other structure. This downward force will be transmitted through the cable and pulley structure to create an upward force on the cable connected to the other pedal. Thus, the cable and pulley structure provides an interconnected structure whereby downward movement of one pedal causes upward movement of the other pedal. The third pulley 328 is optional and may or may not be spring loaded. When the spring is loaded, the third pulley also provides a mitigating force to resist the thin line regardless of the direction in which the line moves. Therefore, the downward movement of each pedal will be moderated by the third elastic load wheel via the windings 51 1304349. Therefore, the interconnect structure is also constructed to provide a pedal mitigation effect. In addition, the slow line can be made of m-green and slightly elastic material to provide some additional relief or cushioning of the downward pedaling motion when the user presses the pedal up and down. Alternatively, 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 be combined with a buffer. A buffer configuration having a third pulley can also use a configuration similar to that shown in Figs. 28 to 36. For example, a rotary elastic member similar to that shown in Fig. 28 can be coupled to the third pulley axle, a flat #spring similar to the ® 29 gauge can be coupled to the third pulley, and - A clutch arrangement or hydraulic resistance arrangement as shown in Figures 35 and 36, respectively, 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 interconnection system including a pair of pulleys (324, 326) and a hydraulic mitigation assembly 334. Figure 39 is a cross-sectional view of the mitigation assembly. In this embodiment, the first and second pulleys are attached to a cross member similar to the embodiment shown in Fig. 37. • 'However, in this embodiment, the 'third pulley is replaced by a hydraulic two-way (4) striker that is disposed on the cross member between the two slide wheels . Of course, the third pulley or the two-way impact member 1 can be completely omitted, and the exercise device is constructed to have an alternative buffer system or no buffer system. As shown in Fig. 39, the bidirectional impact member includes an impact member containing a hydraulic fluid. The cylinder member 338 extends a piston rod member 338 extending through the cylinder and from each of the 52,304,349 crotch portions of the impact member. Extend outside. A piston 340 having an inner diameter substantially the same as the inner diameter of the cylinder is coupled to the piston rod. The piston system defines at least one opening 342 through which fluid can flow through any of the openings. Therefore, the impact member is constructed to resist leftward and rightward movements. The right side cable 344 is connected to the front of the right side pedal assembly 12B, the path bypasses 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 magic square of the left pedal set, the route bypassing the left pulley 3 2 4 and is coupled to the left end of the piston rod. The downward movement of the right pedal pulls the right cable down and is transmitted to the right through the cable to the piston rod and piston. Therefore, the impact member moderates the downward movement of each pedal. In addition, the "helicopter rod" transmits the downward force of one pedal to the upward force on the other pedal. Figure 0 shows one of the fitness devices connected by a multi-pulley connection: a sub-view of the child A pulley 348 is coupled to the other portion of each of the pedal assemblies 1. The pulleys are arranged in line with the upper portion of the pedal belt 18. The four pulleys are positioned in the upper cross member 32| Above the end of the pedal. One ^ 4. -I Λ >first; the moon wheel 350 is pivotally mounted to | : the upper cross member above the right front corner of the right pedal. Brother: The pulley 352 is pivotally mounted to the upper cross member 322 above the corner of the right pedal. A third pulley is attached to the upper member above the right front corner of the left pedal. A fourth sliding member is mounted on the upper cross member that is pivotally mounted to the left front corner of the position plate. 4 Side Step 53 1304349 A single cable 330 is routed. Awkward way to bypass these six slips The route of the cable passes over the outer first pulley 35〇 and the fourth/moon wheel 365, and the route is downward and below the pedal pulleys $4 8 and over the inner second and the second Three pulleys (352, 354). In this way, a downward movement of one pedal causes an upward force to be applied to the other pedal. A configuration with multiple pulleys (as shown in Figure 40) is to pedal The load is distributed to a plurality of pulleys and to a plurality of locations distributed to the windings, in this case to the four sections of the conductor. Among the 囷40, among the impact members in this case, the resistance elements % is connected between the upper cross member and the plate 332 at the front of each pedal <the impact member can be the same as discussed in relation to Figures i to 2 and other figures, and can be used or The internal return spring is not used. Figure 41 is a (1) view of another jl of the exercise device interconnected using multiple pulleys. A slip # 348 is attached to the square portion of each pedal assembly. Be In the example, the two pulleys are rotatably mounted on the upper part of the tread belt. The first slide #350 is pivotally mounted. To the upper cross member located above the right front corner of the right pedal. A second alpha wheel 356 is pivotally mounted to the left front corner of the left pedal: square, toward the member. A single cable 3 The route of the 3 turns around the four pulleys in a meandering manner. The route of the I line crosses the top of the first pulley 350 and the second slide 356, the route of which is downward and is located at the same 54 1304349 " Below the plate/moon wheel 348, and up to the cross member 322 located above the internal corners of the pedals and connected to the cross member. Having a configuration of a wheel (as shown in Figure 41) is to divide the pedals into a plurality of pulleys and distribute them to multiple locations of the cable, in this case distributed to the cable. Four sections. In some embodiments of the exercise device, the belts 18 are mounted on the first and second pedal assemblies 12 with a large tension. In general, the pedal assembly is constructed to be aligned. So that they are parallel to each other. However, the tension among the belts tends to pull the pedal assemblies toward each other and lose alignment, and may cause the inside of the pedal assembly to rub against each other during operation of the fitness 4 S 10 . To help alleviate this condition, a rail plate #358 can be mounted between the pedal assemblies to hold the pedal assemblies in a configuration 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 slip plate member can be mounted on one of the inward faces of the L-shaped building frames 126. The thickness of the rail plate member is such that it completely fills the gap between the boundary and the inward facing surface of the L-shaped bracket 6. When the tension of the belt forces the pedal assemblies toward each other 'the inward faces of one L-shaped bracket will press against the rail plates that are fixed to the opposite faces, preventing the pedal assemblies from actually moving toward each other and losing Parallel alignment status. Although the rail plate is described herein and discussed as being mounted between the L-shaped frames of the pedal assemblies, it should be understood that the 兮, 典 也 也 疋 疋 ... ... ... ... 轨 ... Pieces may be mounted between the other inner portions of the pedals 55 1304349 to facilitate 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 which is easy to reduce these frictional forces. For example, the rail 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 a DuPont Delrin® 1® manufacturer. The slide plate member 358 can be coupled to the exercise skirt in any manner to properly position the slide rail member between the pedal assemblies. For example, the sliding plate member can be coupled to one of the L-shaped brackets. As shown in Figure 44, the sliding plate member is coupled to the inner side of the right L-shaped bracket. In this configuration, the sliding plate member moves up and down as the pedal assembly pivots. The sliding 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 frame bottom portion of the exercise device and can extend upwardly between the L-shaped brackets. In this configuration, the two rocking brackets slide up and down on either side of the rail plate.

The sliding 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 a right side 360 and a left side 362, wherein the left side and the right side are separated by a top side 364. And the bottom side 366 is separated. The thickness of the sliding plate member separates the front and the rear. As shown in Figure C 56 1304349, the front of the rail plate is defined. As shown in Fig. 48, a flat front surface 368 defined by the pattern ribs 370 is followed by a sliding plate member.

The rail plate member can be connected to the L-shaped swing in various ways, such as screws, rivets, glue, and the like. As shown in Fig. 45 to Fig., the sliding rail plate is constructed to be connected to the rocking bracket by screws. Therefore, the slide plate member includes a first screw 74 and a second screw hole 376, and the screw holes are seated along the central spindle on the front surface. Above the two screw holes. As shown in FIG. 47, the screw holes may have a sloped surface, so that the screw head will be seated flush with or below the surface of the w-side of the π-plate member, and the screw-shaped L-shaped support of the screw head is prevented. The upper portion of the frame 126 is rubbed, wherein the ^ month plate member is not connected to the upper portion. & The inner surface of the L-shaped bracket is to be assisted to be adapted to the field, and the rail plate member includes a stud 378' which extends from the rear as shown in Figs. 46 and 47. When the (4) plate is mounted on the inner side of the L-shaped push frame, the user inserts the stud bolt into a corresponding stud hole 38〇, and the H-pillar hole is seated in the hole. Between the inner side of the 豸L-shaped bracket (see Figure 10, which shows the stud hole, but does not show the slid plate), allowing the user to more easily slide the slab The screw/same hole is aligned with the corresponding screw hole in the upper portion of the rocking bracket.
