Parent infant exercise equipment

Abstract

The Parent Infant Exercise Equipment is a stationary exercise bicycle with a removable infant carrier attached near the bicycle's handle bars in such a way that the infant faces the parent or other caretaker. The infant carrier is connected to the pedaling mechanism of the bicycle through a drive belt which creates soft vibrations and swinging motions when pedaling This exercise equipment enables the person exercising to have an infant or small child in close proximity during her/his workout while simultaneously providing a comfortable experience for the infant especially through soft vibrations and gentle swinging motions.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A stationary exercise equipment with firmly attached handle bars ( 3 ) to which a removable infant carrier ( 1 ) is attached and a drive unit under the infant carrier ( 1 ) which can set the infant carrier into motion. 
     
     
         2 . An exercise equipment as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the described motions of the infant carrier ( 1 ) are gentle swinging motions and vibrations. 
     
     
         3 . An exercise equipment as claimed in  claim 1  or  2  wherein the infant carrier ( 1 ) is attached to the exercise bicycle by means of a clamp and rubber-metal connection ( 3 . 1 ). 
     
     
         4 . An exercise equipment as claimed in  claims 1  to  3  wherein an infant carrier ( 1 ) is attached to the exercise device by means of a clamp. 
     
     
         5 . An exercise equipment as claimed in  claims 1  to  4  wherein a drive unit is integrated into the infant carrier ( 1 ). 
     
     
         6 . An exercise equipment as claimed in  claims 2  to  3  wherein the exercise equipment is a stationary exercise bicycle. 
     
     
         7 . A stationary exercise bicycle according to  claims 1  to  4  wherein drive unit is mechanically connected to the pedaling mechanism ( 2 . 1 ) of the exercise bicycle ( 2 ) 
     
     
         8 . An exercise equipment as claimed in  claim 6  wherein the drive unit is connected to the pedaling mechanism of the exercise bicycle by means of an endless belt ( 5 ). 
     
     
         9 . A stationary exercise bicycle as claimed in  claims 1  to  6  wherein the drive unit includes an electrical engine with an eccentric tappet. 
     
     
         10 . A stationary exercise bicycle as claimed in  claims 2  to  9  wherein the drive unit includes a control element which allows to change the amplitude and frequency of the vibrations and swinging motions.
