Abstract

The present invention combines the handle bar and swaying damping device by using a swaying structure for the handle bar of fitness equipment. The handle bar can sway independently, and the swaying modes can be properly adjusted to achieve dynamic balance for the users. The present invention offers a swaying damping device for the handle bar of fitness equipment, which is linked to a preset location, such that the handle bar can sway independently of the users. The swaying damping device can provide preset resistance to the handle bar, thus achieving resistance and springing force for the swaying structure of handle bar, and also improving flexibility, independency and convenience.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
We claim:  
     
         1 . A swaying damping device for a handle bar of fitness equipment, said swaying damping device comprising: 
 a fitness equipment, fitted with a swaying handle bar;    a handle bar, adapted onto said fitness equipment to provide a support to users in a swaying state; and    a swaying damping means mounted onto said fitness equipment and connected to a preset location of said handle bar, wherein said handle bar operates with said swaying damping means, said handle bar swaying independently of said users, said swaying damping means providing a preset resistance to the swaying handle bar, enabling flexible and independent swaying.    
     
     
         2 . The swaying damping device defined in  claim 1 , wherein said handle bar is placed individually or oppositely onto said fitness equipment in line with said swaying damping means, depending upon operating requirements.  
     
     
         3 . The swaying damping device defined in  claim 1 , wherein said swaying damping means is comprised of a twisting component of two-way damping action, said twisting component being coupled onto said handle bar of said fitness equipment, said swaying damping means providing preset resistance and springing force to said handle bar.  
     
     
         4 . The swaying damping device defined in  claim 3 , wherein said twisting component of said swaying damping means is comprised of a torsional spring or torsional rubber, and a two-way volute spring.  
     
     
         5 . The swaying damping device defined in  claim 3 , wherein said twisting component is a torsional rubber, said twisting component having an outer ring surface adapted onto a fixed seat of a spacing disc, and an inner ring surface coupled with a pivot shaft of said handle bar, said spacing disc being fixed onto said fitness equipment by a cover, the inner and outer ring surfaces rotating inversely to provide preset resistance and springing force to said handle bar.
