Abstract
A foldable treadmill includes a base for running or walking, a frame set pivotally connected with the base, and a folding mechanism for folding the frame set. The folding mechanism has a control assembly comprising a knob and a first bolt controlled by the knob. When a part of the first bolt is arranged inside the frame set, the frame set cannot be folded, and when the first bolt is moved out of the frame set, the frame set can be folded to a storage configuration.
Claims9
A foldable treadmill, comprising:
- a base on which a user walks or runs in place;
- a frame set having a lower portion pivotally connected with a front portion of the base;
- an operation panel coupled to an upper portion of the frame set;
- and
- a folding mechanism having a control assembly, which comprises:
- a first bolt arranged at a side of the frame set, wherein a portion of the first bolt is initially arranged within the base, and a remaining portion of the first bolt is initially arranged within the frame set when the foldable treadmill in an operable configuration;
- and
- a knob being contacted with the first bolt and being rotatable to push the remaining portion of the first bolt into the base, so that the frame set can be rotated and folded to a storage configuration;
- wherein the frame set comprises a first post and a second post, the control assembly further comprises a linkage bar and a second bolt, wherein a portion of the second bolt is arranged within the base and a remaining portion of the second bolt is arranged within the second post, and when the knob pushes the first bolt, the first bolt pushes the linkage bar and the linkage bar pushes the second bolt out of the base, so that the frame set can be rotated to the storage configuration.
