Stationary exerciser

Abstract

A stationary exerciser includes two handles pivotally coupled to an upright support of a base, two foot supports each having a front portion coupled to the handles and moveable in a reciprocating action relative to the base and a rear portion coupled to a post of the base with two cranks, two links pivotally coupled between the cranks and the rear portions of the foot supports for allowing the rear portions of the foot supports to be swung relative to the cranks and the base, and a connecting device may connect the foot supports to the cranks for determining a movement of the foot supports relative to the base, and may adjust the moving strokes of the rear portions of the foot supports.

1 . A stationary exerciser comprising:
 a base including an upright support and an upright post 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,   two foot supports each including a front portion and a rear portion, said front portions of said foot supports being coupled to said handles and arranged to be moved in a reciprocating action relative to said base,   two cranks rotatably attached to said upright post of said base with an axle and each having a pivot rod attached thereto and spaced away from said axle, said cranks each including two crank segments and a rod secured between said crank segments,   two links pivotally coupled between said pivot rods of said cranks and said rear portions of said foot supports respectively for allowing said rear portions of said foot supports to be swung relative to said cranks and said base, and   two levers including an upper end pivotally coupled to said upright post of said base with a pivot shaft, and each including a lower end pivotally coupled to said foot supports with beams, and said levers each including a middle portion pivotally coupled to said rods of said cranks with pivot bars respectively for connecting said foot supports to said cranks and for determining a movement of said foot supports relative to said base.   
   
   
       2 - 3 . (canceled) 
   
   
       4 . The stationary exerciser as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said pivot bars are adjustably secured to said levers respectively. 
   
   
       5 . The stationary exerciser as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein said levers each include a first orifice and at least one second orifice formed therein for adjustably securing said pivot bars respectively. 
   
   
       6 . The stationary exerciser as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said base includes a wheel attached to said base with said axle and moved in concert with said axle for resisting a rotational movement of said axle and said cranks. 
   
   
       7 . The stationary exerciser as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein a rotary member is attached to said base and coupled to said wheel. 
   
   
       8 . The stationary exerciser as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said handles each include a hand grip extended upwardly therefrom, and each include 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 include a lower portion, said front portions of said foot supports are each coupled to said arms of said handles with a stem. 
   
   
       9 . The stationary exerciser as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said handles each include a connecting member pivotally coupled between said lower portion of said handle and said foot support. 
   
   
       10 . The stationary exerciser as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein said foot supports each include a foot pedal pivotally coupled to said connecting member.
