Exerciser having improved fan device

Abstract

An exerciser includes a base, a rotating wheel and a rotary member rotatably supported on the base and coupled together, to allow the rotating wheel to be rotated by the rotary member. A driving device may be used to drive the rotary member and to rotate the rotating wheel. A fan device is attached onto the rotating wheel and rotated in concert with the rotating wheel, so as to be driven by the driving device via the rotating wheel, and to generate cooling air. The rotating wheel is preferably a magnetic rotating wheel. The fan device includes a number of fan blades extended from a plate, and extended radially and laterally from the plate.

1 . An exerciser comprising: 
 a base,    a rotating wheel rotatably supported on said base,    a rotary member rotatably supported on said base and coupled to said rotating wheel, to allow said rotating wheel to be rotated by said rotary member, and    a fan device attached onto said rotating wheel and rotated in concert with said rotating wheel, so as to be driven by said driving means via said rotating wheel, and to generate cooling air, said fan device including a plate secured to said rotating wheel and having an opening formed therein, and including a plurality of fan blades extended radially and outwardly from an outer peripheral portion of said plate and spaced away from said opening of said plate, each of said fan blades including a side segment laterally extended out of said plate, and said plate including a peripheral flange extended laterally from one side thereof, to engage onto said rotating wheel and to firmly attach said fan device onto said rotating wheel.    
   
   
       2 - 5 . (canceled)  
   
   
       6 . The exerciser as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein each of said side segments includes an inner portion having an inclined surface formed therein and spaced away from said opening of said plate.  
   
   
       7 - 10 . (canceled)
