Exercise machine

Abstract

An exercise machine includes a frame for resting on the ground, and a footboard element which oscillates with respect to the frame about a first axis and a second axis which are mutually perpendicular. The exercise machine further includes a handgrip element which oscillates with respect to the frame in an oscillating manner about a first axis and a third axis which are mutually perpendicular. The footboard element and the handgrip element are functionally connected to each other in order to move in a substantially synchronous manner during the respective oscillation.

1 . An exercise machine, comprising:
 a frame for resting on the ground,   a footboard element which oscillates with respect to the frame about a first axis and a second axis which are mutually perpendicular, and   a handgrip element which oscillates with respect to the frame in an oscillating manner about a first axis and a third axis which are mutually perpendicular,   wherein the footboard element and the handgrip element are functionally connected to each other in order to move in a substantially synchronous manner during the respective oscillation.   
     
     
         2 . The exercise machine according to  claim 1 , further comprising an upright member which is connected to the frame and oscillates with respect to said frame about said first axis, the footboard element and the handgrip element being connected in an oscillating manner to the upright member respectively about said second axis or said third axis. 
     
     
         3 . The exercise machine according to  claim 2 , further comprising first means for articulation between the upright member and the frame, said means for articulation comprising a rotary pair which identifies said first rotation axis, which substantially coincides with the axis of longitudinal extension of the upright. 
     
     
         4 . The exercise machine according to  claim 3 , wherein the footboard element and the handgrip element are coupled so as to oscillate with respect to the upright member by virtue of respective second means for articulation and third means for articulation, wherein said second means for articulation and third means for articulation comprise a rotary pair which identifies respectively said second axis and said third axis, which are mutually parallel. 
     
     
         5 . The exercise machine according to  claim 1 , comprising a tension member which connects the footboard element and the handgrip element. 
     
     
         6 . The exercise machine according to  claim 2 , further comprising a guiding device which is configured to limit an oscillation stroke of the footboard element, of the handgrip element, and of the upright member. 
     
     
         7 . The exercise machine according to  claim 4 , wherein the footboard element comprises two footpads, which are mutually connected by a first coupling bar, and wherein the handgrip element comprises two handles, which are mutually connected by a second coupling bar, the first coupling bar and the second coupling bar being coupled so as to oscillate to the upright member, by virtue of said respective second means for articulation and said third means for articulation. 
     
     
         8 . The exercise machine according to  claim 6 , wherein the guiding device is configured to brake the oscillation of the footboard element, of the handgrip element, and of the upright member. 
     
     
         9 . The exercise machine according to  claim 8 , wherein the guiding device comprises a transmission arm which is coupled both to said footboard element, in an eccentric position with respect to said second axis, and to a rigid bar, which in turn is coupled to the frame. 
     
     
         10 . The exercise machine according to  claim 2 , wherein in an active condition the upright member is inclined by an angle comprised between 40° and 60° with respect to the horizontal.
