Abstract
A positionable-axle bicycle ergometer comprises axles each to be supplied with a rotational force from a corresponding pedals and a corresponding arms, seats each supporting a corresponding axles, guide sections each supporting a corresponding seats such that seats can reciprocate in a direction perpendicular to axles, positioning mechanisms each for positioning a corresponding guide sections on the basis of an rotation angle of the axles and braking mechanisms each braking a corresponding axles.
Claims3
A positionable-axle bicycle ergometer comprising:
- a pair of axles each to be supplied with a rotational force from a corresponding one of a pair of pedals and a corresponding one of a pair of arms;
- a pair of seats each supporting a corresponding one of the pair of axles;
- a pair of guide sections each supporting a corresponding one of the pair of seats such that the pair of seats can reciprocate in a direction perpendicular to the pair of axles,
- a pair of positioning mechanisms each for positioning a corresponding one of the pair of seats by a corresponding one of the pair of guide sections in accordance with a rotation angle of the axles;
- and
- braking mechanisms each braking a corresponding one of the pair of axles,
- wherein the positioning mechanisms each include a rotary wheel using a corresponding one of the axles as an axis of rotation, and an arm having a proximal end swingably supported by a table and a distal end swingably and eccentrically supported by the rotary wheel.
