Bicycle exerciser having adjustable handle

Abstract

A bicycle exercising device includes two foot pedals rotatably attached to a base, a seat post for supporting the users, a column extended from the base, a lever pivotally attached to the column and a handle device pivotally supported on the lever. An adjusting device is coupled between the column and the handle device, for adjusting the handle device relative to the column and the seat cushion to any selected positions. The handle device includes two side hand grips and a lateral hand grip coupled between the side hand grips to form a U-shaped structure, and a bar coupled between the side hand grips. An auxiliary adjusting device may further support the handle device on the lever.

1 . A bicycle exercising device comprising: 
 a base,    a pair of foot pedals rotatably attached to and supported on said base with a spindle and cranks, for being operated by users,    a seat post extended upwardly from said base, and having a seat cushion attached thereon, for supporting the users thereon,    a column extended upwardly from said base, and including an upper portion,    a lever including a lower portion pivotally attached to said upper portion of said column with a pivot axle, and including an upper portion,    a handle device pivotally supported on said upper portion of said lever, and    an adjusting means coupled between said upper portion of said column and said handle device, for adjusting said handle device relative to said column, and relative to said seat post and said seat cushion to selected positions.    
   
   
       2 . The bicycle exercising device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said adjusting means is an actuator coupled between said handle device and said upper portion of said column, to adjustably support said handle device on said column.  
   
   
       3 . The bicycle exercising device as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein said column includes a block provided on said upper portion thereof, said actuator includes a lower end pivotally attached to said block with a pivot pin, and an upper portion pivotally attached to said handle device.  
   
   
       4 . The bicycle exercising device as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein said actuator is a pneumatic cylinder.  
   
   
       5 . The bicycle exercising device as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein said actuator is a hydraulic cylinder.  
   
   
       6 . The bicycle exercising device as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein said handle device includes a bar provided thereon, and at least one stem extended from said bar and having a free end portion pivotally attached to said upper portion of said lever with a pivot axle.  
   
   
       7 . The bicycle exercising device as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein said handle device includes a U-shaped structure having two side hand grips and a lateral hand grip coupled between said side hand grips to form said U-shaped structure, and said bar is coupled between said side hand grips.  
   
   
       8 . The bicycle exercising device as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein said handle device includes a beam secured between said lateral hand grip and said bar.  
   
   
       9 . The bicycle exercising device as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein said actuator include a control knob attached thereto, for actuating said actuator to adjust said handle device relative to said column and said seat post and said seat cushion.  
   
   
       10 . The bicycle exercising device as claimed in  claim 1  further comprising an auxiliary adjusting device pivotally coupled between said handle device and said lever, to support said handle device relative to said lever and relative to said seat post and said seat cushion at the selected positions.
