Abstract

Abstract A hydraulic type stationary cycle exerciser includes a base frame. On a rear upper beam of the base frame there is mounted a seat support on which a seat is provided. A cylinder is pivotably mounted to a front upper beam of the base frame at one end thereof and a lever arm is fixedly mounted to a pivot point of the cylinder such that the lever arm follows the cylinder to pivotally move between a forwardmost position and a backwardmost position.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 194 words
A hydraulic type stationary cycle exerciser comprising: a base frame; a seat support being mounted on a rear portion of said base frame and a seat being mounted on said seat support; a pedal mounting means being mounted on a middle portion of said base frame, a pedaling means being mounted on said pedal mounting means; a primary cylinder being pivotably mounted to a front portion of said base frame at one end thereof, a piston of said primary cylinder being attached to a middle point of said pedaling means at a distal end thereof, a lever arm being fixedly mounted to a pivot point of said primary cylinder at one end thereof such that said lever arm follows said primary cylinder to pivotally move between a forwardmost position and a backwardmost position upon revolution of said pedaling means; a beam being mounted to said base frame beneath said pedal mounting means; an auxiliary cylinder being fixedly mounted on said beam at an end thereof and having an acute angle with said pedal mounting means, a piston of said auxiliary cylinder being attached to an underside of said primary cylinder at a pivot thereof.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 194 words
A hydraulic type stationary cycle exerciser comprising: a base frame; a seat support being mounted on a rear portion of said base frame and a seat being mounted on said seat support; a pedal mounting means being mounted on a middle portion of said base frame, a pedaling means being mounted on said pedal mounting means; a primary cylinder being pivotably mounted to a front portion of said base frame at one end thereof, a piston of said primary cylinder being attached to a middle point of said pedaling means at a distal end thereof, a lever arm being fixedly mounted to a pivot point of said primary cylinder at one end thereof such that said lever arm follows said primary cylinder to pivotally move between a forwardmost position and a backwardmost position upon revolution of said pedaling means; a beam being mounted to said base frame beneath said pedal mounting means; an auxiliary cylinder being fixedly mounted on said beam at an end thereof and having an acute angle with said pedal mounting means, a piston of said auxiliary cylinder being attached to an underside of said primary cylinder at a pivot thereof.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 51 words
A hydraulic type stationary cycle exerciser as claimed in claim 1 further comprising an oil pipe communicating between two chambers within said primary cylinder defined by a piston head of said primary cylinder and an adjustable valve being provided on said oil pipe for adjusting a flow within said oil pipe.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 51 words
A hydraulic type stationary cycle exerciser as claimed in claim 1 further comprising an oil pipe communicating between two chambers within said auxiliary cylinder defined by a piston head of said auxiliary cylinder and an adjustable valve being provided on said oil pipe for adjusting a flow within said oil pipe.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 38 words
A hydraulic type stationary cycle exerciser as claimed in claim 1 further comprising posting means provided between said base frame and said pedal mounting means to provide a reinforced structure for the boat-rowing operation of said cycle exerciser.
