whose pedals can perform independent vertical and horizontal motions with two degrees
of freedom.

US Pat. No. 7651444, which discloses a sports machine shown in FIG. 11. It includes a frame 9 whose front
end has a vertical support 91. The rear end of the frame 9 has a driving wheel 92.
Both sides of the driving wheel 92 have a crank 93, respectively. Both sides of the
support 91 are pivotally installed with a swinging arm 94, respectively. The bottom
end of each of the swinging arms 94 pivotally connects to one end of a pedal bar 95,
respectively. The other end of the pedal bar 95 pivotally connects to the corresponding
crank 93. Therefore, when the two swinging arms 94 make an alternating motion in the
forward and backward directions on the frame 9, the pedal bars 95 are driven by the
swinging arms 94 and the cranks 93 to perform running-like actions.
[0003] Moreover, in the sports machine both sides of the two pedal bars 95 are provided
with a sliding rail 951, respectively. A pedal 96 is installed on each of the sliding
rails 951 of the pedal bars 95 in a sliding way. The pedal 96 is pivotally connected
with a connecting bar 97, whose other end is pivotally connected to the support 91.
The connecting bar 97 is installed with a sliding sheath 971 in a sliding way. Both
ends of a movable connecting bar 972 are pivotally connected to the sliding sheath
971 and the swinging arm 94. When the two swinging arms 94 swing alternately back
and forth on the frame 9, the pedal bars 95 are driven to make running motions. Moreover,
the connecting bars 97 and the movable connecting bar 972 together let the pedals
96 slide back and forth on the sliding rails 961 of the pedal bars 95. This increase
the step span of the running, thereby enhancing the exercising effect.
[0004] Although the pedals 96 in the conventional sports machine can have upward and downward
displacements with the pedal bars 95 and have back and forth displacements as the
pedal bars 95 slide, the sliding motion of the pedals 96 is correlated with the upward
and downward motions. This is because the connecting relation between the connecting
bars 97 and the movable connecting bars 972, and the support 91 and the swinging arms
94. That is, as the pedals 96 are driven by the pedal bars 95 to move up and downs,
they are also driven by the connecting bars 97 and the movable connecting bars 972
to move back and forth along the pedal bars 95. As a result, if some component of
the sports machine is out of order, e.g. some pivotal part does not have sufficient
lubrication or any connecting bar is deformed or broken, then the other normal components
thereof will be damaged too if one keeps using the machine. This will increase the
repair and maintenance costs.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0005] An objective of the invention is to provide a sports training machine whose pedal
bars and pedals independently drive two sets of cranks, so that the pedals can perform
independent reciprocal displacements upward and downward as well as forward and backward.
The invention also discloses the method thereof.
[0006] Another objective of the invention is to provide a sports training machine that enables
its user to self-define whether he wants to perform upward-downward stepping, forward-backward
sliding, or running, taking advantage of that fact that the pedals can perform independent
reciprocal displacements upward and downward as well as forward and backward.
[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the invention includes a frame and two
pedals.
[0008] The frame has a front end and a rear end. The frame is provided with a first rotational
axis, a second rotational axis, a first pivotal axis, and a second pivotal axis. The
two rotation axes are installed on one of the front end and the rear end.
[0009] Each of the pedals is installed on a pedal bar in a sliding way. Each pedal bar is
pivotally connected to the first pivotal axis by a point other than the two ends thereof.
One end of each of the pedal bars is pivotally connected with a first linkage, which
in turn pivotally connects to the first rotational axis. Each of the pedals is pivotally
connected with one end of a corresponding second linkage, the other end of which pivotally
connects to the second rotational axis. A pivotal part is disposed between the two
ends of the second linkage to pivotally connect to the second pivotal axis. As a person
steps on the pedals to perform a reciprocal motion up and downs, the first linkage
is driven to rotate the first rotational axis. As one steps on the pedals to perform
a reciprocal motion back and forth, the second linkage is driven to rotate the second
rotational axis. Thus, the pedals can perform independent reciprocal motions up and
downs as well as back and forth.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0026] The present invention will be apparent from the following detailed description, which
proceeds with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein the same references
relate to the same elements.
[0027] Please refer to FIGS. 1 and 2 for a first embodiment of sports training machine according
to the invention. The machine includes: a frame 1 and two pedals 41.
[0028] The frame 1 has a front end 11 and a rear end 12. The front end 11 is vertical provided
with a support 13 with a first resistance device 2 and a second resistance device
3 disposed in the vertical direction. The first resistance device 2 includes a first
driving wheel 22 that rotates with respect to the first rotational axis 21 and a first
resistance wheel 23 that provides resistance to the first driving wheel 22. The second
resistance device 3 includes a second driving wheel 32 that rotates with respect to
the second rotational axis 31 and a second resistance wheel 33 that provides resistance
to the second driving wheel 32.
[0029] Each of the two pedals 41 is installed on a pedal bar 4 in a sliding way. Each of
the pedal bars 4 is pivotally installed on the first pivotal axis 42 by a point other
than the two ends thereof. Each of the pedal bars 4 is pivotally connected to the
frame 1 via the first pivotal axis 42. One end of each of the pedal bars 4 pivotally
connects to a first linkage 5. In this embodiment, the first linkage 5 includes a
first crank 24 and a first transmission link 51. One end of the first crank 24 pivotally
connects to the first rotational axis 21 and rotates with respect to the first rotational
axis 21. One end of the first transmission link 51 pivotally connects to the first
crank 24; the other end pivotally connects to one end 44 of the pedal bar 4. When
the pedal bar 4 performs up-down reciprocal swings with respect to the first pivotal
axis 42, the first transmission link 51 is driven to rotate the first crank 24 with
respect to the first rotational axis 21. The pedals 41 are thus driven by the pedal
bars 4 to perform reciprocal displacements in the vertical direction.
[0030] Both sides of each of the pedal bars 4 have a sliding rail 43, respectively. The
pedal 41 is installed on the sliding rails 43 in a sliding way to slide back and forth
along the sliding rails 43. One end of a second linkage 6 pivotally connects to the
pedal 41, and the other end pivotally connects to the second rotational axis 31. The
second linkage 6 includes a second crank 34, a second transmission link 61, a pivotal
swinging bar 62, and a dragging bar 63. One end of the second crank 34 pivotally connects
to the second rotational axis 31 and rotates with respect to the second rotational
axis 31. One end of the second transmission link 61 pivotally connects to the second
crank 34. One end of the dragging bar 63 pivotally connects to one side of the pedal
41. The body of the pivotal swinging bar 62 other than the two ends thereof has a
pivotal portion 621 for a pivotal connection to the second pivotal axis 131. The pivotal
swinging bar 62 thus pivotally connects to the top end of the support 13. Both ends
of the pivotal swinging bar 62 pivotally connect to the second transmission link 61
and the dragging bar 63. As the pedal 41 moves back and forth, the dragging bar 63
is driven to swing the pivotal swinging bar 62. The second crank 34 is driven to rotate
with respect to the second rotational axis 31. Therefore, the pedal performs a reciprocal
motion in the forward and backward direction on the sliding rails 43.
[0031] In practice, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, a user stands on the two pedals 41 of the
invention. The person exerts a force on the pedals 41 so that the pedal bars 4 pivot
with respect to the first pivotal axis 42. In this case, the pedal bars 4 drive the
first crank 24 via the first transmission link 51 to rotate with respect to the first
rotational axis 21. When the first crank 24 rotates clockwise, the first transmission
link 51 brings the pedal bar 4 to pivot upward. As the user uses both feet to step
on the two pedals 41 alternately, the first crank 24 continuously rotates with respect
to the first rotational axis 21, driving the pedals 41 to perform reciprocal motion
in the upward and downward direction.
[0032] Moreover, the pivotal portions 621 of the pivotal swinging bars 62 are extended upward
with a handle 64, respectively, for the user to hold. The user can hold the handle
64 and swings with the swinging bar 62. The second transmission link 61 drives the
second crank 34 to rotate with respect to the second rotational axis 31. When the
second crank 34 rotates counterclockwise, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the second transmission
link 61 is driven to swing the swinging bar 62 backward, thereby displacing the dragging
bar backward. The pedal 41 is dragged to move backward. Please refer to FIGS. 4 and
5 simultaneously, the second transmission link 61 is driven by the second crank 34
to swing the swinging bar 62 forward, thereby displacing the dragging bar 63 forward.
The pedal 41 is thus dragged to move forward. As the user alternately swings the two
handles 64, the second crank 34 continuously rotates with respect to the second rotational
axis 31, driving the pedals 41 to perform a reciprocal motion in the forward and backward
direction.
[0033] The upward-downward and forward-backward reciprocal motions of the pedals 41 are
done with the help of the first crank 24 and the second crank 34. The first crank
24 and the second crank 34 drive the first linkage 5 and the second linkage 6, respectively.
The pedals 4 thus have independent upward-downward and forward-backward reciprocal
motions. Both types of motions do not affect each other. This feature can prevent
the situation that suppose some component is out of order, the entire structure may
be damaged if the user keeps using the system. For maintenance, one only needs to
check the broken component. The repair is thus simple and timesaving.
[0034] Please refer to FIG. 6 for a second embodiment of the invention. This embodiment
differs from the first embodiment in that one can change the length of the first linkage
5 or the pivotal connecting point of the pedal bar 4 and the first linkage 5. This
changes the stroke of the up-down reciprocal motion of the pedal bar 4. At least on
of the first crank 24 and the first transmission link 51 is composed of an outer tube
and an inner tube. The outer tube has a positioning element for positioning the inner
tube with respect to the outer tube, thereby adjusting the length of the first crank
24 or the first transmission link 51. In this embodiment, the first transmission link
51 has the above-mentioned adjusting mechanism that consists of an outer tube 51A,
an inner tube 5 1 B and a positioning element 51C. One end of the pedal bar 4 has
several first pivotal portions 44 with different distances to the first pivotal axis
42 for the first transmission link 51 to pivotally connect to.
[0035] In practice, the adjusting mechanism enables one to reduce the length of the first
transmission link 51, as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8. When the first crank 24 rotates
to drive the first transmission link 51, the pivotal amplitude of the pedal bar 4
with respect to the first pivotal axis 42 becomes larger, thereby increasing the stroke
of the up-down reciprocal motion of the pedals 41.
[0036] Moreover, the first transmission link 51 can pivotally connect to one of the first
pivotal portions 44. Since the distances between the first pivotal portions 44 and
the first pivotal axis 42 are different while the up-down displacement of the first
transmission link 51 driven by the first crank 24 is fixed, the pivotal amplitude
of the pedal bar 4 under the force of the first transmission link 51 varies with the
pivotal connecting position of the first transmission link 51 on the pedal bar 4.
As shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, if the pivotal connecting position is closer to the
first pivotal axis 42, then the pivotal amplitude of the pedal bar 4 is larger. The
stroke of the up-down reciprocal motion of the pedals 41 is also longer.
[0037] Furthermore, regarding the second linkage, at least one of the second crank 34 and
the second transmission link 61 consists of an outer tube and an inner tube. The outer
tube has a positioning element to position the inner tube with respect to the outer
tube, thereby adjusting the length of the second crank 34 or the second transmission
link 61. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the second transmission link 61 has
the above-mentioned adjusting mechanism, consisting of an outer tube 61A, an inner
tube 61B, and a positioning element 61C. The end of the pivotal swinging bar 62 pivotally
connected to the second transmission link 61 has several second pivotal portions 65
with different distances to the pivotal portion 621 for the second transmission link
61 to pivotally connect to.
[0038] In practice, the adjusting mechanism enables one to reduce the length of the second
crank 34 or the second transmission link 61, as shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. 12. When
the second crank 34 rotates to drive the second transmission link 61, the swinging
amplitude of the pivotal swinging bar 62 with respect to the pivotal portion 621 becomes
larger, thereby increasing the stroke of the forward-backward reciprocal motion of
the pedals 41 driven by the dragging bar 63. The dragging bar 63 is selectively connected
to one of the third pivotal portions 45 on the pedal to change the reciprocal distance
of the pedal on the pedal bar.
[0039] Moreover, the second transmission link 61 can be selectively connected to one of
the second pivotal portions 65. Since the distances between the second pivotal portions
65 and the pivotal portion 621 are different while the up-down displacement of the
second transmission link 61 driven by the second crank 34 is fixed, the swinging amplitude
of the pivotal swinging bar 62 under the force of the second transmission link 61
varies with the pivotal connecting position of the second transmission link 61 on
the pivotal swinging bar 62. As shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, if the pivotal connecting
position is closer to the pivotal portion 621, then the swinging amplitude of the
pivotal swinging bar 62 is larger. The stroke of the forward-backward reciprocal motion
of the pedals 41 driven by the dragging bar 63 is also longer.
[0040] Finally, two resistance devices of the disclosed sports training machine provide
two resistance values to choose. The invention thus can have different resistances
in forward-backward and upward-downward directions. A first resistance device 2 and
a second resistance device 3 are disposed on same side of a frame 1. A second linkage
6 has three pivotal connecting ends, with a first pivotal connecting end pivotally
connecting to a pedal 41, a second pivotal connecting end pivotally connecting to
the second resistance device 3, and a third pivotal connecting end pivotally connecting
to the frame 1. Therefore, the second linkage 6 swings pivotally with respect to the
frame 1. The forward-backward motion of the pedal 41 drives the second linkage 6 to
drive the second resistance device 3. One end of a pedal bar 4 is connected to the
first resistance device 2 via a first linkage 5. The body of the pedal bar other than
the two ends thereof is pivotally connected to the frame 1. The up-down motion of
the pedal bar 4 drives the first linkage 5 to drive the first resistance device 2.
The invention thus has a control method to provide two resistances.
[0041] According to the above-mentioned two embodiments, when the resistance of the first
resistance device is adjusted to a maximum that is greater than the resistance of
the second resistance device, the forward-backward motion is smoother while the upward-downward
motion is more restricted. This configuration can simulate sliding. When the resistance
of the first resistance device is adjusted to a minimum that is smaller than the resistance
of the second resistance device, the forward-backward motion is more restricted while
the upward-downward motion is smoother. This configuration can simulate stepping vertically.
[0042] The above-mentioned second embodiment can be used for users of different builds.
It can adjust the strokes of the pedals according to the step span and height, in
accord with human factors engineering.
[0043] Although the invention has been described with reference to specific embodiments,
this description is not meant to be construed in a limiting sense. Various modifications
of the disclosed embodiments, as well as alternative embodiments, will be apparent
to people skilled in the art. Therefore, it is contemplated that the appended claims
