Description of Related Art
[0002] Since fitness exercises are very helpful for physical exercise, a variety of fitness
equipment is widely used, for example, an abdominal wheel exerciser allowing a bodybuilder
to bend the body to the ground for reciprocating training, and making the abdominal
muscles, the waist and the buttocks, as well as the arm and other parts of the body
can be exercised, and has the effect of stretching the chest, shoulders, arms and
back muscles to promote health. Therefore, the abdominal wheel exerciser is a better
product for modern people who want to exercise. However, there are still many shortcomings
in the conventional abdominal wheel exerciser for the function or movement thereof.
[0003] In general, the abdominal wheel exerciser is mainly composed of a grip for holding
by the user and a wheel coupled to the grip. For example, conventional fitness apparatuses
have an elastic element and two grips which are foldable or detachable. The grips
can be held by the user and when the wheel rotates in a clockwise direction, the elastic
element is compressed to rotate the wheel in a counterclockwise direction, at the
same time, the restoring force of the elastic element can assist the user return to
the posture.
[0004] Moreover, skateboarding is also one of the most popular sports equipment nowadays;
and skateboards technology is divided into two types of unpowered and powered, and
all kinds of skateboards on the market are still only used as skateboarding.
[0005] Although the abdominal wheel exerciser and the skateboard can achieve their intended
abdominal exercise or exercise purposes, however, they cannot be changed to other
sports forms, and there is no other way to change the fitness exercise, which is difficult
for the general fitness person to accept. Therefore, the market is still looking for
a sports device that can generate more motion modes and changeable motion modes to
meet the general public demand.

base 820, respectively, and the left spring base 810 and the right spring base 820
will push the guiding elements 850, respectively, so as to slide the four guiding
pins 851 in the guiding holes 1023. Thus, the left spring base 810 can be restorably
positioned in the separating position 810A. At this time, the left spring base 810
or the right spring base 820 is kept disengagement with the gear bases 420 by the
releasing springs 860, and the elastic assembly 400 cannot storage the force by rotating
the wheels 300, which is in a state without the restoring force.

[0031] Therefore, the linking relationship between the wheels 300 and the elastic assembly
400 can be switched by the connecting assembly 800. The sporting device 100 can be
used as a reciprocating exercise device by selectively generating the restoring force,
or can be used as a free roller without the restoring force. Moreover, the user can

[0039] The sporting device 100T can switch the restoring force by rotating the inserting
elements 830T of the wheels 300T. In detail, when the inserting element 830T on the
right side is rotated and displaced along the axial direction of the wheel 300T, the
inserting element 830T on the right side will be switched to the second position.
The end of the inserting rod of the inserting element 830T is abutted against the
guiding element 850T so as to displace the guiding element 850T along the axial direction
of the wheel 300. At this time, the right spring gear base 820T is separated from
the single direction teeth 1024T by pushing the guiding element 850T, since each end
of the guiding pin 620T are disposed in the tilting guiding groove 603T, when the
wheels 300T drive the wheel axle 200T rotating, the guiding pin 620T guides the steering
base 600T disposing to the position as shown in Fig. 13A and Fig. 13B for the right
meshing teeth 602T engaging with the right teeth 821T, so as to rotate the right spring
gear base 820T by driving the wheel axle 200T. Therefore, since the left spring gear
base 810T is fixed to the side board 102T and cannot be rotated, the wheels 300T drive
the right spring gear base 820T for twisting the spring 410T to be stored.
[0040] On the contrary, when the inserting element 830T on the left side is rotated to be
displaced along the axial direction of the wheel 300T, the inserting element 830T
on the left side will be switched to the second position, the end of the inserting
rod is abutted against the guiding element 850T for sliding in the axial direction
the wheel 300T. At this time, the left spring gear base 820T is pushed by the guiding
element 850T for separating from the single direction teeth 1024T, therefore, when
the wheels 300T drive the wheel axle 200T rotating, the guiding pin 620T will guide
the steering base 600T displacing to the position as shown in Fig. 15A and Fig. 15B,
and the left meshing teeth 601T will engage with the left teeth 811T, so as to rotate
the left spring gear base 810T by driving the wheel axle 200T. Therefore, since the
right spring gear base 820T is fixed to the side board 102T and cannot be rotated,
the wheels 300T drive the left spring gear base 810T for twisting the spring 410T
to be stored, thereby changing the direction of the restoring force.
[0041] When each inserting element 830T of each wheel 300T is rotated to the second position,
the steering bases 600T will be kept disengagement with the left spring gear bases
810T and the right spring gear bases 820T, and neither the left spring gear bases
810T nor the right spring gear bases 820T will mesh with the single direction teeth
1024T, so as to achieve the effect of the free rotation of the wheels 300T.
[0042] Please refer to Fig. 17, Fig. 18, Fig. 19A and Fig. 19B. Fig. 17 is a three-dimensional
view of the sporting device 100S according to the 3rd embodiment of the present disclosure,

two grips 500 disposed on the two side boards 102T of the fixing structure (its reference
numeral is omitted), respectively, and are for a user to hold, and the grips 500 are
foldably and pivotally connected to the fixing structure. The fixing structure can
include two storage slots 1022T located on the two side boards 102T, respectively,
and the two grips 500 are foldably and pivotally connected to the storage slots 1022T
for storage or operation.
[0043] Each grip can include a flexible positioning mechanism 501, each flexible positioning
mechanism 501 includes two protruding positioning portions 502, and each grip 500
further includes a controlling element 503 having a recovery spring 504. The controlling
elements 503 protrude from the end of each grip 500 for pressing. When the user holds
the grips 500, the controlling elements 503 can be pressed to push the flexible positioning
mechanisms 501 for retracting the two protruding positioning portions 502. Therefore,
the two grips 500 are effectively to be folded or unfolded and are for storage or
operation.
