Abstract

The invention relates to a fitness device ( 1 ) that can be used in a mobile or stationary manner, comprising: a frame ( 4 ) on which two front wheels ( 6 ) and one rear wheel ( 5 ) are disposed, a drive device on each side of the frame ( 4 ), each made up of an arm drive rod ( 2 ) joined to a leg drive rod ( 3 ) by a hinge, wherein the leg drive rod ( 3 ) transfers a torque via a ring gear ( 10 ) and a chain to the rear wheel ( 5 ), a steering device ( 7 ) for steering the fitness device ( 1 ) in mobile use by means of tilting the frame ( 4 ), and a tilting/steering damper formed by damping elements ( 9 ) and disposed between the front wheels ( 6 ) and the frame ( 4 ).

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . Mobile fitness device, comprising:
 a. a frame on which two front wheels and a rear wheel are disposed,   b. one driving mechanism, respectively, on both sides of the frame, each comprising an arm drive rod hinged to a leg drive rod, wherein the leg drive rods transfer a torque to the rear wheel via a ring gear and a chain,   c. a steering assembly for steering the fitness device by tilting the frame,   d. a tilting/steering damping system formed by damping elements which is disposed between the front wheels and the frame.   
     
     
         2 . Mobile fitness device according to  claim 1 , wherein one side of the damping elements is respectively disposed on one wheel suspension. 
     
     
         3 . Mobile fitness device according to  claim 1 , wherein a transfer element is disposed between the wheel suspension and the damping element. 
     
     
         4 . Mobile fitness device according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one damping parameter of the damping elements is adjustable. 
     
     
         5 . Mobile fitness device according to  claim 1 , wherein the damping elements comprise a tilting stop. 
     
     
         6 . Mobile fitness device according to  claim 5 , wherein the tilting stop is adjustable. 
     
     
         7 . Mobile fitness device according to  claim 1 , wherein the frame can be tilted by 5° to 20° from a vertical plane extending along a longitudinal axis of the fitness device. 
     
     
         8 . Mobile fitness device according to  claim 1 , wherein the fitness device comprises a returning mechanism for returning the frame into the vertical plane. 
     
     
         9 . Mobile fitness device according to  claim 8 , wherein the returning element comprises a spring member. 
     
     
         10 . Mobile fitness device according to  claim 1 , wherein the frame of the fitness device comprises a preferably lockable folding mechanism so that the frame can be folded together by means of the folding mechanism. 
     
     
         11 . Mobile fitness device according to  claim 1 , wherein the folding mechanism comprises a hinge. 
     
     
         12 . Mobile fitness device according to  claim 1 , further comprising a permanent brake by means of which the driving resistance can be adjusted. 
     
     
         13 . Mobile fitness device according to  claim 1 , wherein a horizontal section of the frame, relative to a vertical, is disposed below a joint of the tilting steering mechanism.
