Abstract

An exercise device is provided with a frame, two pedals, two first swing arms, two second swing arms, a resistance device, two link rods, two cranks, two limiting rods, and two roller assemblies. Each first swing arm has two ends, in which one end pivotally connects to the frame, and the other connects to one of the two second swing arms. Each second swing arm has two ends, in which one end connects to one first swing arm, and the other connects to one pedal. The resistance device has an axle. Each crank includes two ends, one end connecting to the axle, and the other connecting to one link rod. Each link rods includes two ends, one end connecting to one crank, and the other connecting to an area of one second swing arm. Each roller assembly connects to one second swing arm, and can slide along one limiting rod.

First claim

1 . An exercise device, comprising:
a frame; two pedals, enabling force to be applied; two first swing arms, respectively arranged at a side of the frame, each first swing arm having a first end and a second end, said first end of said two first swing arms pivotally coupling to the frame; two second swing arms, each second swing arm having a first end and a second end, said first end of said two second swing arms coupling to said second end of said two first swing arms, said second end of said two second swing arms coupling to said two pedals; a resistance device pivoted to the frame by an axle; two cranks, respectively arranged at a side of said resistance device, each crank having a first end and a second end, said first end of said two cranks coupling to said axle; two link rods, each link rod having a first end and a second end, said first end of said two link rods coupling to said second end of said two cranks, said second end of said two link rods coupling to an area of said two second swing arms between said first end and said second end of said two second swing arms; two limiting rods, respectively arranged at a side of the frame, each limiting rod having a first end and a second end, said first end and said second end of said two limiting rod coupling to the frame; and two roller assemblies, respectively coupling to said two second swing arms and slidably coupling to said two limiting rods.

2 . The exercise device of claim 1 , wherein each limiting rod is arc-shaped with a center toward a user of the exercise device.

3 . The exercise device of claim 1 , wherein each limiting rod is straight-shaped.

4 . The exercise device of claim 1 , wherein the frame comprises:
a base arranged on a supporting plane or ground; and a supporting structure arranged on the base, wherein said first end of said two limiting rods couples to said supporting structure and said second end of said two limiting rods couples to said base.

5 . The exercise device of claim 1 , wherein each pedal has an inclination, and the inclination of the pedal at the lowest position is smaller the inclination of the pedal at the highest position.

6 . The exercise device of claim 1 , wherein each roller assembly comprises a front roller, a board structure, and a rear roller, the front roller and the rear roller are pivotally coupled with the board structure and are respectively arranged at a front and a rear of the corresponded limiting rod.

7 . The exercise device of claim 6 , wherein both the front roller and the rear roller have a recess to fit the corresponded limiting rod.

8 . The exercise device of claim 6 , wherein each limiting rod is arc-shaped, and each roller assembly has an inclination varied along the corresponded limiting rod.

9 . (canceled)
