The Patent Description & Claims data below is from USPTO Patent Application 20060211542, Recumbent cycle and position-adjusting mechanism for a recumbent cycle.

1. A recumbent cycle, comprising: a) a primary frame having a base frame and an upright frame extending from one end of the base frame; b) a secondary frame positioned over the primary frame, the secondary frame having a first end with a drive wheel, two cranks each with one pedal being rotatably supported on a shaft of the drive wheel; the drive wheel imparting motion to the flywheel via a belt, a guide wheel being rotatably mounted on a second end of the secondary frame; c) means for adjusting the position of a tube within a main body, the tube being extendable from the main body or retractable thereinto in place responsive to user manipulation of a control lever; the main body being tightly secured to the secondary frame such that the tube is movable on the guide wheel; and d) a seat tightly attached to the tube such that it is synchronically movable with the tube.

2. A position-adjusting mechanism for a recumbent cycle, comprising: a) a main body having one end with a stop pad, the inside of the main body being recessed to form a hollow; b) a tube inserted through the stop pad into the main body, the tube having a limit piece at one end of the hollow, the limit piece including two corresponding support members, the support members having two facing limiting elements, the limiting elements each having a contact pad to the wall of the hollow; and c) a control lever swiveled on the tube outside the main body for controlling the limiting elements either to press against the wall of the hollow so as to fix the tube at any place within the hollow of the main body or to release therefrom for an extending or a retracting action of the tube within the hollow of the main body.

3. The position-adjusting mechanism for a recumbent cycle as claimed in claim 2 wherein a roller is rotatably supported on a shaft between both support members in close vicinity to the end thereof, and the roller is so dimensioned that it precisely fits into the hollow and is in contact with top and bottom walls of the hollow, and wherein the limiting elements are positioned between the limit piece and the roller such that the tube is more smoothly displaceable relative to the main body with an economy of effort.

4. The position-adjusting mechanism for a recumbent cycle as claimed in claim 2 wherein the inside of the tube is hollowed out to form an inner chamber in which the control lever is received, and wherein a connecting arm is vertically mounted on the control lever within the inner chamber and swiveled about the covering piece responsive to user manipulation of the control lever, and wherein the distal end of the connecting arm is pivotally coupled to an intermediate element having a link member that is pivotally coupled to a first and a second connecting arm, and wherein a free end of the first and the second connecting arm is pivotally connected to a limiting element, respectively whereby the position of the tube within the main body is controllable responsive to the user manipulation of the control lever.
