Abstract
An Elevating Exercise Bicycle for fitness and amusement ride in one with vertical motion having occupant-seating station with frame attached to a structural support base through an articulating member providing angular rotation about lower pivot pins to create constant pitching angle for occupant-seating station and vertical motion. Hydraulic system powered by occupant's energy via foot pedal and chain drive system to the pump unit, increased the pressure inside the system. The pressure transferred from pump to the main actuator, extending the piston rod and caused articulating member to rotate. Each cycle of workout for occupant can be preset to required level.
Claims2
An elevating exercise bicycle comprising:
- An Occupant Seating for one occupant and handle bar with lowering control lever operable by the occupant.
- A Lifting Arm Assembly is an A-frame assembly that comprises upper and lower lifting arms, interconnecting Bicycle Frame and a Base Frame. Hydraulic cylinders comprise the main and auxiliary cylinders, attached to an upper lifting arm providing rotation of a Lifting Arm Assembly about lower pivot ends. A-frame type Lifting Arm Assembly acts as a parallelogram mechanism. Bicycle Frame that attached to the other ends of the Lifting Arm Assembly moved vertically up and down without noticeable change in pitch angle.
- Main Cylinder and Auxiliary Cylinder interconnected Lifting Arm Assembly and the Base Frame. Hydraulic pressure supplied to the Main hydraulic cylinder by hydraulic pump driven by occupant via drive chain arrangement.
- A Bicycle Frame rigidly connected to the handle bar and occupant seat. Drive sprocket and Pedal assembly are installed at the lower part of the Bicycle Frame. Hydraulic pump is also attached to the rear end of this frame.
- A Base Frame is a support structure anchored to a floor for stability, connected via pivot pins to Lifting Arm Assembly. Hydraulic tank is housed inside the Base Frame.
