Abstract
A rotary load level of a flywheel of a fitness bike is adjustable to increase or decrease based on a one-touch manipulation of a switch for regulating a rotary load to the flywheel in opposing directions. This makes it possible to reliably adjust the rotary load level without causing a change in a user's posture during a ride of the fitness bike and to gradually control the rotary load level of the flywheel of the fitness bike.
Claims15
A switch assembly for regulating a rotary load of a fitness bike, the switch assembly comprising:
- a switch main body being rotatably assembled to a handle pipe;
- a rotating core part having a same rotation center as the switch main body, being rotatably disposed, and being elastically restoring together with the switch main body;
- a fixation cover part having an outer lateral surface that supports an inner lateral surface of the switch main body, and an inner lateral surface that supports an outer lateral surface of the rotating core part;
- and
- a tact switch part being disposed at two ends of the fixation cover part, and operating based on a pressing operation that is caused by a rotation of the rotating core part.

A fitness bike, comprising:
- a switch lever, comprising:
- a switch main body being rotatably assembled to a handle pipe, and being provided with a first manipulation part and a second manipulation part that protrude outward respectively within a predetermined angle range;
- a rotating core part being concentric to the switch main body, and rotating in a way that the rotating core part is elastically restored together with the switch main body;
- a fixation cover part supporting an inner lateral surface of the switch main body and supporting an outer lateral surface of the rotating core part;
- a tact switch part being disposed at two ends of the fixation cover part, and switching based on a rotation of the rotating core part;
- and
- an elastic member being disposed at a lower end of the rotating core part, and applying an elastic restoring force to the rotating core part.
