Exercise apparatus

Abstract

An exercise apparatus is provided. The exercise apparatus includes a base disposed on a surface, a bicycle frame having a first side and a second side and pivotally mounted on the base, a first supporter disposed on the first side, and a simulating device disposed on the bicycle frame to simulate a real bicycle riding. While the bicycle frame is swinging to the first side, the first supporter contacts the base to prevent the bicycle frame from swinging beyond a specific extent.

1 . An exercise apparatus, comprising: 
 a base disposed on a ground;    a bicycle frame pivotally mounted on the base and having a swinging axis;    a controlling unit pivotally mounted on the bicycle frame and mounting an adapting unit thereon, the adapting unit contacting and movable on the ground; and    a supporter disposed between the bicycle frame and the base,    wherein while the bicycle frame is swinging to a first side, the supporter prevents the bicycle frame from swinging beyond a specific extent.    
     
     
         2 . The exercise apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising a gyro-wheel pivotally mounted on the bicycle frame.  
     
     
         3 . The exercise apparatus as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the swinging axis is above a center of the gyro-wheel.  
     
     
         4 . The exercise apparatus as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the swinging axis is under a center of the gyro-wheel.  
     
     
         5 . The exercise apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the controlling unit has a rotating axis pointing to the ground.  
     
     
         6 . The exercise apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the controlling unit further comprises a handle opposite to the adapting unit for controlling therefor.  
     
     
         7 . The exercise apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the controlling unit further comprises a rail movably running the adapting unit thereon.  
     
     
         8 . The exercise apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the adapting unit has only one roller that is linearly disposed with the bicycle frame at an instance.  
     
     
         9 . The exercise apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising a connecting unit pivotally connecting the base with the bicycle frame.  
     
     
         10 . The exercise apparatus as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the connecting unit further comprises: 
 a connecting rod formed on the bicycle frame; and    a connecting seat formed on the base, wherein the supporting rod and the supporting seat pivotally connect to each other.    
     
     
         11 . The exercise apparatus as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the connecting unit provides the swinging axis.  
     
     
         12 . The exercise apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the supporter further comprises: 
 a first supporting arm fixed to the bicycle frame at the first side; and    a second supporting arm fixed to the bicycle frame at a second side opposite to the first side, wherein while the bicycle frame swings to one of the first side and the second side, a respective one of the first supporting arm and the second arm touches the base to stop the bicycle frame from swinging beyond the specific extent.    
     
     
         13 . The exercise apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the supporter further comprises a first elastic unit connecting the bicycle frame with the base at the first side, so that while the bicycle frame swings to the first side, the first elastic unit pushes the bicycle frame back to a desired position.  
     
     
         14 . An exercise apparatus, comprising: 
 a base;    a bicycle frame pivotally mounted on the base and forming a swinging axis;    a first zone and a second zone divided by the swing axis;    a controlling unit pivotally mounted on the bicycle frame and mounting an adapting unit thereon; and    a supporter disposed between the bicycle frame and the base,    wherein while the bicycle frame is swinging to the first zone, the controlling unit moves the adapting unit toward the first zone to create a reaction force pushing the bicycle frame toward the second zone and the supporter stops the bicycle frame to prevent the bicycle frame from swinging beyond a specific extent.    
     
     
         15 . The exercise apparatus as claimed in  claim 14 , wherein the first zone begins from a right side of the bicycle frame and the second zone begins from a left side of the bicycle frame.  
     
     
         16 . The exercise apparatus as claimed in  claim 14 , wherein the supporter further comprises: 
 a first bar fixed on the right side of the bicycle frame;    a first limiter mounted on the base and below the first bar;    a second bar fixed on the right side of the bicycle frame; and    a second limiter mounted on the base and below the second bar,    wherein while the bicycle frame swings to one of the first zone and the second zone, a respective one of the first bar and the second bar is stopped by one of the first limiter and the second limiter to prevent the bicycle frame from turnover.    
     
     
         17 . An exercise apparatus, comprising: 
 a base disposed on a surface;    a bicycle frame having a first side and a second side, and pivotally mounted on the base;    a first supporter disposed on the first side; and    a simulating device disposed on the bicycle frame to simulate a real bicycle riding,    wherein while the bicycle frame is swinging to the first side, the first supporter contacts the base to prevent the bicycle frame from swinging beyond a specific extent.    
     
     
         18 . The exercise apparatus as claimed in  claim 17 , wherein the simulating device further comprises a gyro-wheel pivotally mounted on the bicycle frame.  
     
     
         19 . The exercise apparatus as claimed in  claim 17 , wherein the simulating device comprises only one adapting unit that is linearly disposed with the bicycle frame at an instance.  
     
     
         20 . The exercise apparatus as claimed in  claim 17 , wherein the simulating device further comprises: 
 a linking rod pivotally mounted on the bicycle frame; and    an adapting unit fixed to the linking rod and contacting the surface,    wherein the adapting unit is linearly disposed with the bicycle frame at an instance.
