Abstract

A figure trimmer comprises a base, a pedal set, and a rotating assembly. The pedal set comprises a left pedal and a right pedal. The rotating assembly movably connects with the base. The rotating assembly is able to rotate about a shaft of the base. The rotating assembly comprises two ends, in which one end includes a first shaft and the other includes a second shaft. The left pedal can rotate about the first shaft, and the right pedal can rotate about the second shaft.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A figure trimmer, comprising:
a chassis comprising an upward protruded axle;
a pedal set arranged on the chassis and having a left pedal and a right pedal for being stepped on by a user;
a rotating assembly movably connecting with the chassis and the pedal set, wherein the rotating assembly comprises a hollow cylinder arranged on the axle of the chassis and two supporting frames respectively arranged at a left side and a right side of the cylinder, the two supporting frames respectively having a first shaft and a second shaft at an end far from the cylinder, and wherein the first shaft movably couples with the left pedal, and the second shaft movably couples with the right pedal;
at least a first elastic component arranged between the chassis and the rotating assembly, wherein when the rotating assembly rotates the pedal set around the axle and compresses the first elastic component, the first elastic component exerts a counterforce to the pedal set via the rotating assembly; and
a plurality of second elastic components arranged below each of the left pedal and the right pedal, wherein each of the plurality of second elastic components is cylinder-shaped and is downward protruded from a bottom of the left pedal or the right pedal, wherein when the left pedal or the right pedal rotates around the first shaft or the second shaft causing a contact between the corresponding supporting frame and one or more of the plurality of second elastic components, the one or more of the plurality of second elastic components exerts a counterforce to the corresponding supporting frame;
whereby the left pedal and the right pedal horizontally rotate around the axle, the left pedal rotates around the first shaft, and/or the right pedal rotates around the second shaft.

2. The figure trimmer as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the pedal set further comprises a left pad on the left pedal and a right pad on the right pedal.

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

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