Exercise rowboat with a fan

Abstract

An exercise rowboat with a fan comprised of a supporting skeleton having thereon a slidable seat and two foot pedals respectively for seating and placing of feet of a user, the supporting skeleton is provided on its front end with a fan rotatable in one way, a stretching device able to make the fan rotate and a fixing mounting. The fixing mounting has thereon a driving wheel connecting axially with the fan, a resistance adjusting device and at least a supporting portion; an elastic rope is reeled around the driving wheel and the supporting portion; by the function of the elastic force of the elastic rope, an effect of exercising for a user can be obtained, and the elements required for assembling can be reduced. And by the rotation torque in elastically adjusting the fan with the resistance adjusting device, different effects of exercising can be obtained in pursuance of different individual requirements; the present invention is applicable to use as an indoor exercise rowboat training apparatus.

1 . An exercise rowboat with a fan comprising: 
 a supporting skeleton having thereon a slidable seat and two foot pedals respectively for seating and placing of feet of a user; said supporting skeleton is provided on its front end with a fan rotatable in one way and a stretching device adapted to making said fan rotate; improvement of said exercise rowboat is resided in that:    said front end of said supporting skeleton is provided with a fixing mounting having thereon at least a supporting portion and a driving wheel connecting axially with said fan, an elastic rope is reeled around said driving wheel and said supporting portion, and one end of said elastic rope is connected with said driving wheel while the other end of said elastic rope is fixed on of said fixing mounting; when the user pulls said stretching device, said elastic rope is reeled to be in a state of storing energy; when the user stops exerting force, said elastic rope releases said energy to restore said stretching device to its original position.    
   
   
       2 . The exercise rowboat with a fan as in  claim 1 , wherein said driving wheel is composed of a larger roller and a smaller roller coaxial with each other.  
   
   
       3 . The exercise rowboat with a fan as in  claim 1 , wherein said stretching device includes a woven belt and a handle connected with one end of said woven belt.  
   
   
       4 . The exercise rowboat with a fan as in  claim 1 , wherein said supporting portion on said fixing mounting is a cylindrical rod.  
   
   
       5 . The exercise rowboat with a fan as in  claim 1 , wherein said supporting portion on said fixing mounting is a pulley.  
   
   
       6 . The exercise rowboat with a fan as in  claim 1 , wherein said exercise rowboat further comprises a resistance adjusting device, said resistance adjusting device includes a rotary member and a braking member, said rotary member is connected with said fan axially, said braking member contacts with an outer periphery of said rotary member for adjusting friction between said braking member and said rotary member.
