  monitor keywords BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to exercising machines and more particularly, to a folding exercising machine, which is collapsible.

2. Description of the Related Art

Due to limited living space and time, people have less space and time for exercises. Because physical exercise is an important activity that develops or maintains physical fitness and overall health, people cannot keep the body in a healthy condition without exercises. Making exercise a habit can prevent some diseases such as heart disease, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Physical exercise is also correlated with mental health promotion and depression prevention. Therefore, many exercising machines are developed to help people make exercise a habit.

Conventional exercising machines are commonly heavy and not collapsible. These exercising machines require much installation space and delivery cost.

Therefore, it is desirable to provide an exercising machine, which is folding collapsible, and practical for home use.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention has been accomplished under the circumstances in view. It is therefore one object of the present invention to provide an exercising machine, which is folding collapsible. It is another object of the present invention to provide a folding exercising machine, which allows for setting between the operative position and the non-operative position conveniently.

To achieve these and other objects of the present invention, the folding exercising machine comprises an upright, the upright comprising a bottom frame at a bottom side thereof for positioning on a floor, the bottom frame comprising a connecting structure, two horizontal pegs horizontally aligned at two sides and spaced above the bottom frame at a distance, and two connectors respectively pivotally coupled to the horizontal pegs; two handlebars respectively fastened to the connectors and turnable with the connectors about the horizontal pegs, the handlebars each having a bottom lug; two pedal frames respectively pivoted to the bottom lugs of the handlebars, the pedal frames each having a bottom pin downwardly extending from a bottom side thereof remote from the bottom lugs of the handlebars; and a wheel module pivoted to the bottom frame of the upright and alternatively set between an operative position and a non-operative position, the wheel module comprising a receiving structure disposed at a front side thereof and pivotally coupled to the connecting structure of the bottom frame of the upright, a wheel, two pedal cranks respectively connected to the wheel at two sides for rotating the wheel, the pedal cranks each having a rear end and a socket at the rear end for receiving the bottom pins of the pedal frames respectively when the wheel module is set in the operative position, and a transverse bar disposed at a rear side thereof for positioning on a floor.
