  Treadmill for skiing-like exerciseUSPTO Application #: 20060073942Title: Treadmill for skiing-like exercise Abstract: A treadmill has a housing covering from above a base, a front supporting rod of the base has a central supporting column connecting a left and a right linkage in a symmetrical way; each linkage has a peddle, its front end connects a linking member, the two linkages are connected at angular positions but being connected pivotally to the two lateral sides of the supporting column; each peddle is connected on its rear end with a buffer which is connected to the front supporting rod to brace up the peddle, and to form impedance force; a left and aright ski stick each is fixedly connected with a peddle, a supporting rack is connected with the supporting column and is mounted thereon a wheel to limit moving of a flexible member of which two ends are respectively connected with the left and the right linking members, in order that the peddles can move up and down in inclined positions. A user can thus allow two hands to control the actions of pushing and pressing with the ski sticks to do treading exercise in a crossed way and in an inclining mode as if the user is skiing; the object of doing plastic art on a waist, a hip and a thigh etc. can thus be attained.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention is related to a treadmill for skiing-like exercise, and especially to such a treadmill for skiing-like exercise which is provided on its base with a supporting column, and is provided on two lateral sides thereof with a left and a right linkage respectively; each linkage has a peddle of which one side is connected with a ski stick, each peddle is connected on its front end with a linking member pivotally connected to one side of the supporting column and controlled by a movable flexible member. The rear end of each peddle is connected with an up-bracing buffer to form impedance force to render a user to do treading exercise in a crossed way and in an inclining mode as if the user is skiing; the treadmill is suitable for plastic art on a waist, a hip and a thigh etc. [0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art [0004] In the present society, people mostly are busy at their own businesses and works, their paces are quite fast, relatively, they leave very little time for them to do exercises outdoors; however, people are unable to fight in their vocational fields with long last if they do not have healthy bodies. In order to render people to also get the effect of exercising for attaining health indoors, various types of gymnastic instruments have been being developed. [0005] Indoor gymnastic instruments available presently are variant, they include, for example, treadmills, indoor exercise bikes and tread exercising machines exercising frontwards and rearwards or leftwards and rightwards. The abovementioned indoor gymnastic instruments can render users to get the effect of exercising for attaining health, but they mostly are products individually with only a single function, and can only be used to exercise a part of a body, this inevitably misses some parts untreated in plastic works; and in use of the abovementioned indoor gymnastic instruments, the instruments are mostly for exercises with two feet of a man moving parallelly, there is no effect of exercise with two feet twisting in a crossed way. Therefore, they are unable to make plastic exercise on the muscles on the inner sides of thighs. [0006] In view of the above defects to be solved, and for the purpose that a treadmill for skiing-like exercise can do treading exercise in a crossed way and in an inclining mode as is in skiing to thereby be suitable for plastic art on a waist, a hip and a thigh etc., the present invention is developed after nonstop studying and improvement based on professional experience of years of the inventor. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0007] The primary object of the present invention is to provide a treadmill for skiing-like exercise of which a supporting column is provided on two lateral sides thereof with two linkages connected at angular positions but being connected pivotally; the two linkages are connected respectively to two ends of a flexible member, so that a user can do treading exercise in a crossed way and in an inclining mode. [0008] The secondary object of the present invention is to provide a treadmill for skiing-like exercise of which two peddles are connected respectively to two ski sticks able to rotate in many directions, in order to cooperate with the two peddles to do treading exercise in a crossed way and in an inclining mode, thus a treading exercise as in skiing can be created. [0009] Another object of the present invention is to provide a treadmill for skiing-like exercise of which two rear ends of the peddles are connected with an up-bracing buffer to form impedance force to increase the effect of exercise. [0010] A further object of the present invention is to provide a treadmill for skiing-like exercise of which a supporting rack can be linked up with a wheel and the flexible member by operation of an adjustment structure, thereby the heights of the left and the right peddles can be adjusted to render a user to adjust his amount of exercising. [0011] To achieve the above stated objects, a treadmill for skiing-like exercise of the present invention includes a base, a housing, a left and a right linkage, a left and a right ski stick and a supporting rack. Wherein the base includes a front and a rear supporting rod, the front supporting rod has a central supporting column; the housing covers from above the base, the left and the right linkages are arranged symmetrically at the two lateral sides of the supporting column; each linkage has a peddle, its front end is connected with a linking member of which one side is connected with a ski stick, the two linkages are connected at angular positions but being connected pivotally to the two lateral sides of the supporting column; each peddle is connected on its rear end with a buffer, the other end of the buffer is connected to the front supporting rod to brace up the peddle, and to form impedance force; the left and the right ski sticks each has a fixed rod and holding rod mutually pivotally connected; the two fixed rods are respectively connected with one and the other sides of the left and the right peddles; the supporting rack is connected with the supporting column of the base, and is mounted thereon a wheel connecting on its periphery with a flexible member; two ends of the flexible member are respectively connected with the left and the right linking members, in order that the left and the right peddles can move up and down in inclined positions. [0012] Thereby, a user can allow two hands to respectively control the actions of pushing and pressing with the left and the right ski sticks to do treading exercise in a crossed way and in an inclining mode as if the user is skiing; the object of doing plastic art on a waist, a hip and a thigh etc. can thus be attained. [0013] The present invention will be apparent after reading the detailed description of the preferred embodiment thereof in reference to the accompanying drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0014] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the appearance of an embodiment of the present invention; [0015] FIG. 2 is another perspective view of the embodiment of the present invention; [0016] FIG. 3 is an analytic perspective view showing the elements of the embodiment of the present invention; [0017] FIG. 4 is a schematic partial sectional view showing the linking action of an adjustment screw of the present invention when in pushing and pressing by rotating; [0018] FIG. 5 is a schematic view showing another linking action of the adjustment screw of the present invention when in pushing and pressing by rotating; [0019] FIG. 6 is a schematic view showing the state of linking when a user treads a right peddle of the present invention; [0020] FIG. 7 is a schematic perspective view showing the state of use when the user treads the right peddle of the present invention; [0021] FIG. 8 is a schematic perspective view showing the state of use when the user treads a left peddle of the present invention.
