Abstract

A bottom-free stationary bike vehicle includes a first movable structure, a second movable structure, a frame, and a linear mechanism. The first movable structure is turnable with its first end as a fulcrum. The second movable structure is turnable with its first end as a fulcrum. A second end of the first movable structure and a second end of the second movable structure are pivotally connected at a pivot. The frame is connected to the first movable structure. The linear mechanism is connected between the frame and the second movable structure. The length of the linear mechanism can be adjusted to change the angle between the first movable structure and the ground and the angle between the second movable structure and the ground.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A stationary bike, comprising:
a first movable structure comprising a first end in contact with a ground and a second end suspended above the ground, wherein the first movable structure is turnable with its first end as a fulcrum;
a second movable structure comprising a first end in contact with the ground and a second end suspended above the ground, wherein the second movable structure is turnable with its first end as a fulcrum, and the second end of the first movable structure and the second end of the second movable structure are pivotally connected at a pivot;
a frame being connected to the first movable structure and comprising a handle support and a seat support;
a resistance device comprising an axis;
two cranks being arranged on a left side and a right side of the resistance device, and each of the two cranks comprises a first end connected to the axis;
two pedals being respectively connected to a second end of one of the two cranks; and
a linear mechanism being connected between the handle support and the second movable structure or being connected between the seat support and the second movable structure, wherein a length of the linear mechanism is adjusted to change an angle between the first movable structure and the ground and an angle between the second movable structure and the ground.

2. The stationary bike according to claim 1 , wherein the linear mechanism comprises a motor, a sleeve, and a screw, the sleeve comprises an internal thread to engage the screw, and the motor is used to drive the screw to rotate, so that the sleeve is moved along the screw toward or away from the motor, thereby changing the length of the linear mechanism.

3. The stationary bike according to claim 1 , wherein the linear mechanism comprises a linear actuator.

4. The stationary bike according to claim 1 , wherein both the first movable structure and the second movable structure are T-shaped.

5. The stationary bike according to claim 1 , wherein the first movable structure or the second movable structure further comprises a roller, and when the linear mechanism adjusts its length, the roller moves toward the front or rear of the stationary bike.

6. The stationary bike according to claim 1 , wherein when the linear mechanism adjusts its length to change the angle between the first movable structure and the ground and the angle between the second movable structure and the ground, both an angle between the handle support and the ground and an angle between the seat support and the ground change accordingly.
