Exerciser with gliding pedals

Abstract

An exerciser with gliding pedals includes two link assemblies pivotably connected to two pivots on the base and two rails are connected on the two link assemblies. Two pedals are movably engaged with the two rails and two cylinders are connected between the link assemblies and the base. The pedals are stepped up and down alternatively and the pedals can be slid relative to the rails during operation.

1 . An exerciser comprising: 
 a base having a post extending from a first end thereof and a transverse bar transversely and pivotably extending through the post, a first pivot fixedly connected to the post and a second pivot connected to the base, the second pivot located at a distance from the post;    two link assemblies located on two sides of the base and each link assembly having two first link and two second links, the two first links located in parallel with each other and having two respective first ends connected to the first pivot by a first shaft located between the two first ends of the first links, the two second links located in parallel with each other and having two respective first ends connected to the second pivot by a second shaft located between the two first ends of the second links, two cylinders each having one end connected to the base and the other end of each of the two cylinders pivotably connected to a separation bar connected between the two second links, one of the two first links of each link assembly being in contact with the transverse bar;    two gliding assemblies each having a support member and a rail, the two rails each having a groove defined therein and the support members movably received in the grooves of the two rails, the two rails connected to second ends of the first and second links of each link assembly, and    two pedals fixedly on the support parts.    
     
     
         2 . The exerciser as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein two connection parts each have a first end pivotably connected to the first ends of the two first links of each link assembly and a pivotable part is pivotably connected to a second end of each of the connection part, each of the support members has a first end pivotably connected to the pivotable part.  
     
     
         3 . The exerciser as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein two connection boards each have a first end connected to the first end of the connection part and a second end of each of the two connection boards is pivotably connected to the separation bar.  
     
     
         4 . The exerciser as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first link that is in contact with the transverse bar has a recess and the transverse bar is engaged with the recess.  
     
     
         5 . The exerciser as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein each first link that has the recess has a stop bar connected thereto, the transverse bar is located between the recess an the stop bar.  
     
     
         6 . The exerciser as claimed in  claim 1  further comprising a display panel connected to a top of the post.  
     
     
         7 . The exerciser as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the base is an I-shaped base and includes a front transverse leg, a rear transverse leg and a central column connected between the front and rear legs.
