Electric treadmill with a folding mechanism

Abstract

An electric treadmill with a folding mechanism includes a handrail frame pivotably mounted at both sides of the front end of the base frame. A guide plate having a sliding groove, two link plates, and a positioning plate attached to the handrail frame are provided between both sides of the base frame and the handrail frame. The guide plate is connected to a sliding support of a ground-touching roller. The sliding support is pivotably coupled to the bottom of the base frame. According to the assembly of the above-mentioned components, when the base frame is lifted in a folded position, a slide pin of the link plates is movable in the sliding groove of the guide plate until the base frame is folded in an upright position.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Fields of the Invention[0002]The invention relates to an electric treadmill with a folding mechanism by use of two swivel pieces, and more particularly, to a treadmill that permits a stable support in a folded-up position. Moreover, the entire volume of the treadmill in the folded-up position is effectively reduced.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]This application is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 12 / 815,409 titled “electric treadmill with a folding mechanism by use of a swivel piece”. According to the prior art, the supporting assembly has to be mounted near the middle portion of the base frame for maintaining the folding and supporting stability. Moreover, the folding peak of the base frame is not at an optimal folding angle perpendicular to the ground. Therefore, the entire volume of the treadmill in a folded position can't be effectively and considerably reduced. Moreover, people tend to worry about the fact that th...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is an electric treadmill with a folding mechanism that reduces vibration and improves stability. The design allows for small components to be folded in a tight and concentrated way, resulting in a better folding angle and increased efficiency.

Problems solved by technology

Moreover, the folding peak of the base frame is not at an optimal folding angle perpendicular to the ground.

Therefore, the entire volume of the treadmill in a folded position can't be effectively and considerably reduced.

Moreover, people tend to worry about the fact that the base frame folded in an inclined position may fall down in an unexpected way, thereby affecting the safety.
