Abstract
An elliptical stepper includes a base, a damping device mounted on the base, two crank devices respectively laterally mounted to two opposite sides of the damping device. Each crank device has a stepping device mounted thereon and each stepping device has a roller set mounted to a bottom thereof, wherein the roller set is universally rolled relative to a corresponding one of the two stepping device. The base includes two opposite sides each having a guiding structure disposed thereon. Each guiding structure includes at least one rail having a front end outwardly extending relative to a center line of the base. Each roller set is moved along a corresponding one of the two guiding structures such that each stepping device provides a wiggling effect when moved along an elliptical route.

An elliptical stepper apparatus comprising:
- a base having a front section detachably connected to a rear section;
- a first guiding structure disposed on one side of said base, said first guiding structure having a first rail that is curved and has a front end extending outwardly away from a center line of said base and a second rail that is linear and spaced inwardly from and separate from said first rail, said second rail being in parallel relation to the center line of said base;
- a second guiding structure disposed on another side of said base, said second guiding structure having a first rail that is curved and has a front end extending outwardly away from the center line of said base and a second rail that is linear and spaced inwardly from and separate from said first rail of said second guiding structure, said second rail of said second guiding structure being in parallel relation to the center line of said base;
- a damping device mounted on said base;
- a first crank device laterally mounted on one side of said damping device, said first crank device having a first stepping device mounted thereon, said first stepping device having a roller set mounted to a bottom thereof, said roller set of said first stepping device receiving one of said first and second rails of said first guiding structure and being movable therealong;
- and
- a second crank device laterally mounted on an opposite side of said damping device, said second crank device having a second stepping device mounted thereon, said second stepping device having another roller set mounted to a bottom thereof, said another roller set of said second stepping device receiving one of said first and second rails of said second guiding structure and being movable therealong.
