BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to an exercising device, and more particularly to a multi-functional exercising device that can provide multiple exercising functions and is versatile in use. [0003] 2. Description of Related Art [0004] Although indoor exercisers have become popular in recent years, the conventional indoor exerciser only has one function and is not versatile in use. A type of conventional exercising device with multiple functions is devised to solve the problem of an exercising device having only a single function, but the type of the conventional exercising device has a complex structure and a high cost. [0005] To overcome the shortcomings, the present invention tends to provide an exercising device to mitigate or obviate the aforementioned problems. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0006] The main objective of the invention is to provide an exercising device having multiple functions and being versatile in use. The exercising device has a frame, a seat, two pedals, a housing and an exercising mechanism. The frame has a supporting stand with two ends and a front leg and a rear leg attached respectively to the ends of the supporting stand. The seat is attached to the supporting stand. The pedals are pivotally connected to the front leg. The housing is connected to the front leg. The exercising mechanism is mounted inside the housing and has a base, two brackets, a rotating axle, a torsion spring, a flywheel, a resistance device, a pulling rope and a first grip. The base is securely connected to the front leg. The brackets are mounted on the base. The rotating axle is rotatably mounted between the brackets. The torsion spring is attached to the rotating axle. The flywheel is rotatably attached to the rotating axle in a unidirectional manner. The resistance device is mounted between the base and the flywheel to provide a resistance to the flywheel. The adjusting button is rotatably attached to the housing and is connected to the resistance device with a cable to adjust the resistance applied to the flywheel and provided by the resistance device by means of rotating the adjusting button. The pulling rope has a first end reeling around the rotating axle and a second end extending out of the housing. The first grip is attached to the second end of the pulling rope. [0007] Other objects, advantages and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0008] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an exercising device in accordance with the present invention; [0009] FIG. 2 is a side plan view of the exercising device in FIG. 1; [0010] FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the exercising mechanism of the exercising device in FIG. 1; [0011] FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view of the exercising mechanism of the exercising device in FIG. 3; [0012] FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view of another embodiment of an exercising mechanism of the exercising device in accordance with the present invention; [0013] FIG. 6 is an operational side plan view of the exercising device in FIG. 1 showing that the seat is slidable relative to the supporting stand while the exercising device is in operation; [0014] FIG. 7 is an operational side plan view of the exercising device in FIG. 1 showing that the seat is held in place on the supporting stand while the exercising device is in operation; and [0015] FIG. 8 is an operational side plan view of the exercising device in FIG. 1 showing that the user takes exercise by means of pulling the resilient ropes to develop the muscles of the arms. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT [0016] With reference to FIGS. 1 to 3, an exercising device in accordance with the present invention comprises a frame (10), a seat (15), two pedals (16), a housing (30) and an exercising mechanism (20). The frame (10) has a supporting stand (13) with two ends, a front leg (11) and a rear leg (12). The front leg (11) and the rear leg (12) are attached respectively to the ends of the supporting stand (13). In a preferred embodiment, the front leg (11) has a height shorter than that of the rear leg (12) to make the supporting stand (13) inclined relative to a horizontal level. In addition, the frame (10) further comprises a bottom stand (14) securely attached to the front leg (11). [0017] The seat (15) is attached to the supporting stand (13) to support a user on the frame (10). In a preferred embodiment, the seat (15) is slidably mounted on the supporting stand (13) and has a bore (151). The supporting stand (13) has multiple holes (131) arranged in a line and selectively aligning with the bore (151) in the seat (15). A pin (155) extends through the bore (151) in the seat (15) and into one of the holes (131) in the supporting stand (13) to hold the seat (15) in position relative to the supporting stand (13). [0018] The pedals (16) are pivotally attached to the bottom stand (14) to connect to the front leg (11) through the bottom stand (14). [0019] The housing (30) is connected to the front leg (11). [0020] With further reference to FIG. 4, the exercising mechanism (20) is mounted inside the housing (30) and on the bottom stand (14). The exercising mechanism (20) comprises a base (21), two brackets (22), a rotating axle (23), a torsion spring (24), a flywheel (25), a resistant device, a pulling rope (29), an adjusting button (28) and a first grip (291). The base (21) is securely attached to the bottom stand (14) to connect to the front leg (11) through the bottom stand (14). The brackets (22) are mounted on the base (22). The rotating axle (23) is rotatably mounted between the brackets (22). The torsion spring (24) is attached to one of the ends of the rotating axle (23) to provide a recoil force to the rotating axle (23). The flywheel (25) is rotatably attached to the rotating axle (23) in a unidirectional manner. In a preferred embodiment, a unidirectional bearing (252) is mounted between the rotating axle (23) and the flywheel (25) such that the flywheel (25) rotates relative to the rotating axle (23) when the rotating axle (23) rotates in a specific direction and rotate with the rotating axle (23) when the rotating axle (23) rotates in a reverse direction.
