Benefits of technology

[0005] It is another aspect of the present invention to provide an exercise apparatus which can prevent itself from swinging beyond a specific extent.
[0006] For achieving the objects above, the present invention provides an exercise apparatus, including a base disposed on a ground, a bicycle frame pivotally mounted on the base and having a swinging axis, a controlling unit pivotally mounted on the bicycle frame and mounting an adapting unit thereon, the adapting unit contacting and movable on the ground, and a supporter disposed between the bicycle frame and the base. In which, while the bicycle frame is swinging to a first side, the supporter prevents the bicycle frame from swinging beyond a specific extent.

Problems solved by technology

It is so drab for the exerciser to do the body-building with such an exercise apparatus, and the exerciser may hence lose his interests thereon and give it up.
However, conventional exercise bicycles only provide for an indoor exercise.
The exerciser just pedals mechanically without feeling any road condition variation and acquiring any experience in handling such road conditions, which may make the exerciser lose his interests.
In other words, exercising on a conventional exercise bike decreases the desire of the exerciser, and thus hinders the exerciser from developing his physical strength.
In addition, a device for exercising the limbs and torso of the exerciser is disadvantageous in that the rotatable wheel thereof is positioned below the seat, which makes the exerciser fail to keep the balance while exercising.

Embodiment Construction

[0042] The present invention will now be described more specifically with reference to the following embodiments. It is to be noted that the following descriptions of preferred embodiments of this invention are presented herein for purposes of illustration and description only; it is not intended to be exhaustive or to be limited to the precise form disclosed.

[0043] Please refer to FIG. 1, which shows a perspective view of an exercise apparatus according to a first preferred embodiment of the present invention. The exercise apparatus includes a bicycle frame 10 whose shape is not limited to the disclosed one. The bicycle frame 10 includes a supporting member 11 mounted on a base 13 that is placed on a base surface G. Generally speaking, the surface G is a ground or a floor. On the bicycle frame 10, a seat 15 is mounted thereon for seating an exerciser, and a controlling unit 30 is pivotally mounted on a first terminal of the bicycle frame 10, so that the exerciser can balance himse...

Abstract

An exercise apparatus is provided. The exercise apparatus includes a base disposed on a surface, a bicycle frame having a first side and a second side and pivotally mounted on the base, a first supporter disposed on the first side, and a simulating device disposed on the bicycle frame to simulate a real bicycle riding. While the bicycle frame is swinging to the first side, the first supporter contacts the base to prevent the bicycle frame from swinging beyond a specific extent.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to an exercise apparatus, and more particular to an exercise apparatus that virtually simulates a real bicycle riding. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] The conventional exercise bicycles are generally operated by pedaling a rotatable wheel with a variable and adjustable resistance, so as to cause a corresponding amount of the energy consumption for the exerciser. It is so drab for the exerciser to do the body-building with such an exercise apparatus, and the exerciser may hence lose his interests thereon and give it up. However, conventional exercise bicycles only provide for an indoor exercise. The exerciser just pedals mechanically without feeling any road condition variation and acquiring any experience in handling such road conditions, which may make the exerciser lose his interests. In other words, exercising on a conventional exercise bike decreases the desire of the exerciser, and thus hinders the exerciser from de...
