Fastening device for pedals of exercisers

Abstract

A fastening device on pedals of exercisers includes a first belt having an end connected to an end of the pedal and a lock assembly is connected to the other end of the first belt. The lock assembly includes a base and a pawl which is pivotably connected between two side walls of the base. A torsion spring is connected between the pawl and the base. First teeth are defined in an end of the pawl. A second belt has an end connected to the other end of the pedal and the other end of the second belt is inserted between the base and the pawl. Second teeth are defined in a side surface of the second belt and engaged with the first teeth. The first teeth are disengaged from the second teeth 212 by pivoting an operation end of the pawl such that the second belt can be quickly and conveniently adjusted to a desired position.

1 . A fastening device on pedals, comprising: 
 a first belt having an end adapted to be connected to an end of the pedal and a lock assembly connected to the other end of the first belt, the lock assembly comprising a base and a pawl which is pivotably connected between two side walls of the base, a torsion spring connected between the pawl and the base, first teeth defined in an end of the pawl, and    a second belt having an end adapted to be connected to the other end of the pedal, the other end of the second belt inserted between the base and the pawl, second teeth defined in a side surface of the second belt and engaged with the first teeth.    
   
   
       2 . The device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein each of the two side walls has a hole defined therethrough and a pin extends through the two holes of the two side walls and an intermediate portion of the pawl, the pawl including an operation end and an engaging end which has the first teeth, the intermediate portion located between the operation end and the engaging end.  
   
   
       3 . The device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first belt has first holes defined in the first end thereof and one of the first holes is adapted to be engaged with a protrusion on the pedal.  
   
   
       4 . The device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the second belt has second holes defined in the first end thereof and one of the second holes is adapted to be engaged with a protrusion on the pedal.  
   
   
       5 . A fastening device on pedals, comprising: 
 a first belt having an end adapted to be connected to an end of the pedal and a lock assembly connected to the other end of the first belt, the lock assembly comprising a base and a pawl which is pivotably connected between two side walls of the base, a torsion spring connected between the pawl and the base, first teeth defined in an end of the pawl;    a pusher pivotably connected between the two side walls and having push teeth, another torsion spring connected between the pusher and the base, and    a second belt having a first end adapted to be connected to the other end of the pedal, a second end of the second belt inserted between the base, the pawl and the pusher, second teeth defined in a side surface of the second belt and engaged with the first teeth of the pawl, the push teeth engaged with the second teeth of the second belt by pivoting the pusher so as to push the second belt toward the pawl.    
   
   
       6 . The device as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein each of the two side walls has a hole and a slot defined therethrough, a pin extending through the two holes of the two side walls and an intermediate portion of the pawl, another pin extending through the slots and the pusher, the pawl including an operation end and an engaging end which has the first teeth, the intermediate portion located between the operation end and the engaging end, the pusher having a handle end and the pin located between the handle end and the push teeth.  
   
   
       7 . The device as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the first belt has first holes defined in the first end thereof and one of the first holes is adapted to be engaged with a protrusion on the pedal.
