Structure of stepper

USPTO Application #: 20060019801
Title: Structure of stepper
Abstract: The stepper with improved structure has a base, two pedals and the resistance device. The front ends of these two pedals are pivoted respectively on the protruding prop at the front of the base, which becomes the movable ends for the two pedals that provides the twisting motion in up and down directions, and forms a force of resistance when stepping provided by the resistance device. The bottom of the protruding prop is mounted on the base pivotally, which puts the prop in a revolvable position; a triangular guide mounted on the base, and its two oblique planes sets correspondingly and relatively to the movable ends of the two pedals, and on the bottoms of the movable ends of the pedals are the sliding part that are mounted pivotally on the oblique planes of the triangular guides. When the pedals are stepped down, they generate the motion that twists left and right downward diagonally as well. (end of abstract)

RELATED U.S. APPLICATIONS

[0001] Not applicable.

STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT

[0002] Not applicable.

REFERENCE TO MICROFICHE APPENDIX

[0003] Not applicable.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0004] The present invention relates generally to a stepper, and more particularly to a stepper that generates twisting motion that moves downward diagonally when the pedals are stepped down.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0005] The structure for the conventional stepper comprises right and left pedals that are pivoted on the base, and the front ends of the left and right pedals are pivoted on the lateral bar, which makes the ends of the pedals twist with the lateral bar, and coordinates with the resistance pressure bar on the bottom. By this structure, the users can step on its right and left pedals with both feet to make the stepping motion. However, problems are present in the structure of the conventional stepper in usage.

[0006] When the stepper moves, its left and right pedals move repeatedly in a simple up and down motion, even though it can achieve the purpose of exercising, as a result of this stiff and dull movement, the exercised body parts are limited, which makes it less effective. Moreover, because of this monotonous movement, the user soon loses the interest of using it, which greatly affects the practical value of this stepper.

[0007] Thus, to overcome the aforementioned problems of the prior art, it would be an advancement if the art to provide an improved stepper structure that can significantly improve the efficacy.

[0008] To this end, the inventor has provided the present invention of practicability after deliberate design and evaluation based on years of experience in the production, development and design of related products.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0009] Constructed through above, the improvements brought upon by the improved structure of the stepper are:

[0010] 1. Providing a protruding prop that is pivoted in a revolvable position, and the triangular guide that is mounted on the base, and the sliding part placed by the movable ends of the two pedals are mounted pivotally on the oblique planes of the triangular guide. It is indeed the first seen in the industry that meets the requirement for the new patent.

[0011] 2. With this special new design, when the pedals are stepped down, they generate the motion that not only moves up and down, but also twists left and right downward diagonally. Then the purpose of making it more interesting and more effective is achieved.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWINGS

[0012] FIG. 1 shows an assembled perspective view of the present invention.

[0013] FIG. 2 shows a local exploded perspective view of the present invention.

[0014] FIG. 3 shows a preferred embodiment of the resistance device of the present invention.

[0015] FIG. 4 shows a plane vertical view of the stepper.

[0016] FIG. 5 shows a plane lateral view of the stepper.

[0017] FIG. 6 shows a plane vertical view of the first operating movement of the stepper.
