Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0560073A1] In an exercise apparatus, especially a bicycle ergonometer, having a belt (16) guided to rotate over a belt pulley (15) which can preferably be braked by means of a generator, the idle strand of which belt, running down from the driveable, larger belt pulley (14) and on to the brakeable, smaller belt pulley (15), can be deflected inwards, relative to a tangential course, by means of a deflection roller (20) which is mounted to be freely rotatable, a high degree of accuracy and reliability can be achieved in that the belt (16) is designed as a flat belt having a running surface profile (17) which is toothed in cross-section and at least one belt pulley (15) has a corresponding circumferential profile (18), and in that the deflection roller (20), which can be influenced in the direction of deflection by means of at least one tension spring (21) having a low spring constant, can be moved with its axis along a deflection track whose distance from the working strand of the belt (16) approximately corresponds to the sum of the diameter of the brakeable belt pulley (15) and the radius of the deflection roller (20), plus the thickness of the belt. <IMAGE>
