Elliptical exerciser
Abstract
An elliptical trainer comprises a frame set, two first transmission rods, two second transmission rods, two footboard assemblies, a holding flywheel assembly, a stand flywheel assembly, and two eccentric link rods. When a user is stepping the two footboard assemblies and taking exercise with elbows on the two second transmission rods, the two footboard assemblies may be stepped up and down to recycle and each second transmission rod may be rotated to reciprocate along an arc and centered in a stand ear. At this time, each drag rod of two stand ears arranged right and left may pull the corresponding eccentric link assembly to rotate 360 degree and the torque of the third flywheel may not overlap each drag rod of each eccentric link assembly vertically. Accordingly, the arrangement of each eccentric link assembly may prevent the swing operation from being stuck to pause or operate unsmoothly.
