Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001]The present invention relates to an exerciser with a elliptical transmission device which allows the user to simulate different types of exercisers. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002]A conventional elliptical exerciser is shown in FIG. 9 and generally includes a base 50, a transmission device 51, two handles 53, two links 54 and two slide rods 56. The transmission device 51 is connected to the base 50 and includes two disks 52, and the two handles 53 are connected to a top of the base 50. The two links 54 are pivotably connected to two respective lower ends of the handles 53 and the other ends of the tow links 54 are pivotably connected to the slide rods 56 via the links 55. Two pedals 57 are connected to the slide rods 56 which are pivotably connected to the disks 52. Two distal ends of the slide rods 56 are slidably engaged with two grooves in two guide members 58. The user holds the two handles 53 and stands on the two pedals 57 so move the slide rods 56 along the grooves in the guide members 58. The slide rods 56 are moved in an oval trace such that the user's feet are exercised alternatively along two respective oval traces. However, the conventional elliptical exerciser can only provide elliptical exercise for the two feet without any weight exercise and the mode for operating the elliptical exerciser cannot be changed. [0003]The present invention intends to provide a multiple-function exerciser that combine the two pedals as a large board so that the user can simulate different types of exercisers such as windsurfing and snowboarding. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0004]The present invention relates to an exerciser that comprises a base and a frame connected on the base. The frame includes an upright post. A transmission device is connected to the frame on the base and has a rotatable disk. A link assembly has two first links which have two respective first ends pivotably connected to the upright post and two respective second ends of the first links are pivotably connected to two respective first ends of two second links. A sliding assembly has two guide members and each guide member has a groove. Two respective second ends of the two second links are pivotably connected to two middle portions of two third links. Two respectively first ends of the third links are pivotably connected to the rotatable disk and two respective second ends of the third links are movably engaged with the grooves. Two pedals are connected to the two third links and a board is connected to the two pedals by connection members. [0005]The primary object of the present invention is to provide a multiple-function exerciser that includes a big board cooperated with two links connected with a rotatable disk so that the user can simulate different types of exercisers. [0006]The present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings which show, for purposes of illustration only, a preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0007]FIG. 1 is a perspective view to show the exerciser of the present invention; [0008]FIG. 2 shows an interior arrangement of the transmission device of the exerciser of the present invention; [0009]FIG. 3 shows that a board is to be connected with the two pedals of the exerciser of the present invention; [0010]FIG. 4 is a perspective view to show the exerciser of the present invention with the board connected thereto; [0011]FIG. 5 shows that the board is connected to the two pedals by two connection members on a front end of the board; [0012]FIG. 6A shows another type of board to be connected to the two pedals; [0013]FIG. 6B shows that the board in FIG. 6A is connected between the two pedals; [0014]FIG. 7A shows another embodiment of the exerciser of the present invention; [0015]FIG. 7B is a perspective view of the exerciser in FIG. 7A; [0016]FIG. 8A shows yet another embodiment of the exerciser of the present invention; [0017]FIG. 8B shows the exerciser of the present invention with a board connected to the two pedals, and [0018]FIG. 9 shows a conventional elliptical exerciser. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT [0019]Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, the exerciser of the present invention comprises a base 10 and a frame 11 is connected on the base 10. The frame 11 includes a curved upright post 12 and two handles 13 are connected to the curved upright post 12. A transmission device 20 is connected to the frame 11 on the base 10 and has a rotatable disk 16 which can be a magnetic-resistance wheel or any known disk that produces resistance. A link assembly 30 has two first links 31 which has two respective first ends pivotably connected to the upright post 12 and two respective second ends of the first links 31 pivotably connected to two respective first ends of two second links 32.
