Stationary exerciser

Abstract

A stationary exerciser includes two handles pivotally coupled to an upright support of a base and each having an upwardly extended hand grip and an outwardly extended arm, two foot supports each having a rear portion moveable in a reciprocating action relative to the base and a front portion coupled to the arms of the handles with coupling devices, and two links pivotally coupled between the lower portions of the handles and the foot supports for maintaining the arms and the handles and the foot supports in position and for allowing the arms and the foot supports to be moved in a curved moving stroke relative to the base and for allowing the moving stroke of the foot supports to be adjusted.

1 . A stationary exerciser comprising:
 a base including an upright support extended upwardly therefrom,   two handles each including an upper portion pivotally coupled to said upright support with a spindle for allowing said handles to be pivoted and swung relative to said upright support of said base, and each including a hand grip extended upwardly therefrom, and each including an arm extended outwardly therefrom for allowing said arms to be moved up and down in a reciprocating action relative to said upright support of said base, and each including a lower portion,   two foot supports each including a front portion and a rear portion, said rear portions of said foot supports being arranged to be moved in a reciprocating action relative to said base,   means for coupling said front portions of said foot supports to said arms of said handles, and   two links pivotally coupled between said lower portions of said handles and said foot supports respectively for maintaining said arms and said handles and said foot supports in position and for allowing said arms of said handles and said foot supports to be moved in a curved moving stroke relative to said base.   
     
     
         2 . The stationary exerciser as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said foot supports each include an opening formed in said front portion thereof for slidably receiving said links. 
     
     
         3 . The stationary exerciser as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said links are pivotally coupled to said lower portions of said handles with pivot joints. 
     
     
         4 . The stationary exerciser as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said base includes a spindle provided on said upright support for pivotally supporting said handles. 
     
     
         5 . The stationary exerciser as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein said handles are pivotally secured to said spindle with barrels and said arms are extended outwardly from said barrels. 
     
     
         6 . The stationary exerciser as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said coupling means includes two tubes pivotally coupled to said front portions of said foot supports respectively, and two shanks coupled between said tubes and said arms of said handles respectively. 
     
     
         7 . The stationary exerciser as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein said shanks are adjustably coupled to said arms of said handles respectively. 
     
     
         8 . The stationary exerciser as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein said shanks are adjustably coupled to said tubes respectively. 
     
     
         9 . The stationary exerciser as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said base includes two cranks rotatably attached to a rear portion of said base with an axle and each having a pivot rod attached thereto and spaced away from said axle for pivotally coupling to said rear portions of said foot supports respectively. 
     
     
         10 . The stationary exerciser as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said base includes a wheel attached to said base with an axle and moved in concert with said axle for resisting a rotational movement of said wheel and said axle and said cranks. 
     
     
         11 . The stationary exerciser as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein a rotary member is attached to said base and coupled to said wheel.
