Abstract

A figure trimmer comprises a chassis, a pedal set, a rotating assembly, at least a first elastic component, and at least a second elastic component. The pedal set is arranged on the chassis and is able to restrictedly rotate in horizontal and vertical direction. The rotating assembly couples to the pedal set and the chassis, so as to drive the pedal set rotating in the horizontal direction. When the pedal set rotates in the horizontal direction, the first elastic component exerts an opposite reaction force to the pedal set. When the pedal set rotates in the vertical direction, the second elastic component exerts an opposite reaction force to the pedal set.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A figure trimmer, comprising:
a chassis;
a pedal set arranged on the chassis and provided for standing by a user, capable of making a reciprocated deflection in a vertical direction due to a vertical force exerted by the user;
a rotating assembly coupled to the chassis and the pedal set, driving the pedal set to make a reciprocated limited rotation around the rotating assembly in a horizontal direction due to a horizontal force exerted by the user;
at least a first elastic component, when the pedal set rotates in the horizontal direction, the first elastic component exerts a first opposite reaction force to the pedal set; and
at least a second elastic component, when the pedal set deflects in the vertical direction, the second elastic component exerts a second opposite reaction force to the pedal set.

2. The figure trimmer as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the pedal set comprises a left pedal and a right pedal, and the number of the at least one second elastic component is two with one arranged between the left pedal and the rotating assembly and another arranged between the right pedal and the rotating assembly.

3. The figure trimmer as set forth in claim 2 , wherein the rotating assembly comprises a cylinder and two supporting frames, the cylinder is arranged on an axle of the chassis, and the two supporting frames are respectively arranged at a side of the cylinder and respectively coupled to the left pedal and the right pedal.

4. The figure trimmer as set forth in claim 3 , wherein each of the two elastic components is complementary to the corresponding supporting frame and fixes with the corresponding supporting frame by fitting or insertion.

5. The figure trimmer as set forth in claim 3 , wherein the first elastic component comprises a first portion and a second portion arranged around the axle of the chassis and arranged between the rotating assembly and the chassis.

6. The figure trimmer as set forth in claim 5 , wherein the first elastic component couples to the chassis by fitting or insertion.

7. The figure trimmer as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the first elastic component and the second elastic component are made of a polymer.

8. The figure trimmer as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the first elastic component and the second elastic component are two spring members.

9. The figure trimmer as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the first elastic component and the second elastic component are two hydraulic elastic members.

10. The figure trimmer as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the first elastic component and the second elastic component are two pneumatic elastic members.
