Structure of stationary bicycle

Abstract

A stationary bicycle includes a machine base, a seat on the machine base for the sitting of the user, a back cushion mounted on the machine base and adapted to support the back of the user sitting on the seat, a pedal and damper unit installed in the machine base and adapted to impart a damping power against the external force employed by the user through the legs, and a rack mounted on the machine base in front of the seat and adapted to hold, for example, a computer for operation by the user when exercising.

What the invention claimed is:  
     
         1 . A stationary bicycle comprising: 
 a machine base;    a seat provided at said machine base for the sitting of the user;    a back cushion mounted on said machine base and adapted to support the back of the user sitting on said seat; and    a pedal and damper unit installed in said machine base and adapted to impart a damping power against the external force employed by the user through the legs;    wherein a rack is mounted on said machine base and adapted to hold things for use by the user sitting on said seat, said rack comprising a upright support fastened to said machine base in front of said seat.    
     
     
         2 . The stationary bicycle of  claim 1  wherein said rack further comprises a device holder supported on said upright support, said device holder comprising a bottom panel connected to said upright support, a back panel upwardly extended from a rear side of said bottom panel at right angles, two side panels respectively connected between two opposite lateral sides of said bottom panel and two opposite lateral sides of said back panel and defining with said bottom panel and said back panel a holding space for holding an apparatus.  
     
     
         3 . The stationary bicycle of  claim 2  wherein said rack further comprises a supplementary board connected to said bottom panel at a bottom side and adapted to hold a device in front of said bottom panel.  
     
     
         4 . The stationary bicycle of  claim 1  wherein said machine base comprises two footrest structures disposed at two opposite lateral sides thereof for the resting of the legs of the user sitting on said seat, said footrest structures each comprising a recessed hole on one sidewall of said machine base, and a footrest pivoted to said machine base and alternatively set between a first position where said footrest is received in said recessed hole, and a second position where said footrest is extended out of said recessed hole.  
     
     
         5 . The stationary bicycle of  claim 1  wherein said machine base further comprises a storage chamber disposed near a rear side thereof.  
     
     
         6 . The stationary bicycle of  claim 5  wherein said machine base further comprises a French window adapted to close/open said storage chamber.
