Abstract
A push/pull exercising apparatus includes a frame support comprised of a long Tee bar and a short T bar, a mounting support, a handle bar, a pull bar, a seat stay, a support bar, a front pedal mount and a rear pedal mount. The mounting support is pivotally connected to an extreme end of the long Tee bar. The end of the seat stay is pivotally disposed at the long Tee bar in front of a middle section thereof. The pull bar is pivotally disposed between the mounting support and the seat stay. The pedal mounts are respectively disposed at a front end of the seat stay and a bottom end of said mounting support. The handle bar is mounted on the mounting support and is provided with a pair of hand grips capable of being turned in different directions so that the user may push or pull the hand grips to perform push/pull exercises.
Claims5
A push/pull exercising apparatus comprising:
- a frame support comprising a long Tee bar and a short Tee bar, a vertical section of said long Tee bar being formed by two parallel rods, a vertical section of said short Tee bar being disposed in between said two parallel bars to form an arching fixed frame support on the ground;
- a mounting support, said mounting support being a hollow bar and having an upper end pivotally connected to an extreme end of the vertical section of said long Tee bar;
- a handle bar having a circular cross section that may be bent to have suitable angles if necessary, a pair of hand grips being disposed at an upper end of said handle bar;
- a pull bar pivotally disposed between said mounting support and a seat stay by means of a positioning pin;
- said seat stay, said seat stay having a slightly bent tail portion, an end of said tail portion being pivotally positioned between said two parallel bars, an extreme end of said pull bar being pivotally positioned near said tail portion, said seat stay further having an extended section an upper side thereof supporting a seat;
- a support bar, said support bar being a relatively short bar structure with an extreme end disposed at a middle portion of said parallel bars of said long Tee bar, a baffle post being provided between said parallel bars for laterally urging said support bar such that said support bar may work in cooperation with said extended section of said seat stay to constitute an urging support, an upper end of said support bar being provided with a resilient block disposed between said support bar and said seat stay to achieve an upwardly baffling effect;
- said rear pedal mount and a front pedal mount both of which are substantially U-shaped having a pedal movably provided at either side thereof, said rear pedal mount being provided at a lower end of said handle bar, and said front pedal mount being provided at a front end of said extended section of said seat stay;
- whereby
- when the user sits on said seat and faces the direction of said front pedal mount with both hands gripping said hand grips behind and pushing forwardly, said mounting support and said handle bar will be driven forwardly such that said seat stay elevates to achieve a forwardly push exercising effect, and when the user sits on said seat and faces the direction of said rear pedal mount with both hands gripping said hand grips in front and pulling said hand grips rearwardly, said seat stay will also elevate to achieve a rearwardly pull exercising effect.
