- knob 150 includes predefined setting increments 200 for establishing a certain pressure calibrated to a desired resistance. While four predefined settings are apparent in the present
- the housing 110 contains a display 160, such as a digital display 208 that provides information and/or data about an exercise workout sequence performed by a user with the exercise apparatus 100.
- the display 160, and associated computing system is capable of tracking and presenting information associated with a number of steps taken during a workout, a duration of a workout, a number of calories burned during a workout, an estimated distance traveled during a workout, a range of values associated with a degree of difficulty of a workout, and so on.
- Display 160 further includes a status button 202, including an indicator light. Status button 202 serves to perform multiple functions such as the ability to reset the computing system, enter user data, etc.
- each treadle 120 includes an upper reception pedal 206 and a lower support pedal 204 both attached to the pivot 130 for vertical movement of the treadle.
- the upper reception pedal 126 lies in one plane and the lower support pedal 124 lies in a plane substantially parallel to the plane of the upper reception pedal.
- each treadle 120 one of upper reception pedal 206 and lower support pedal 204 is fixed and the other one of upper reception pedal 206 and lower support pedal 204 is rotatable, relative to the pivot 130, in its own horizontal or near-horizontal plane. This allows the pedals 204 and 206 to move substantially lateral to each other.
- the upper reception pedal 206 of a treadle 120 is fixed and the lower support pedal 204 of the same treadle 120 is movable to the right.
- the upper reception pedal 206 of a treadle 120 is movable and the lower support pedal of the same treadle 120 is fixed.
- Such substantially horizontal movement of the reception pedals 206 or substantially horizontal movement of the support pedals 204 permits the back ends 124 in each treadle 120 to separate and come together rotationally and thereby to allow for a narrow user stance or a broad user stance as desired by the user for the user's comfort. Further, such horizontal lateral movement between upper reception pedal 206 and lower support pedal 204 facilitates alternate muscle toning capabilities for the user.
- Figure 3 is a front view of the exercise apparatus 100 having an air support system and uses the same reference numerals as in Figure 1.
- the exercise apparatus 100 includes a housing 110, one or more treadles 120, one or more pivots 130, one or more bellows 140, one or more knobs (not shown), and one or more displays 160.
- the housing 110 is manufactured of substantially rigid material to sustain the forces applied by a user of various weight ranges. Further, the housing 110 is substantially weighted to control movement of the exercise apparatus 100 while in use.
- a workout regimen by a user of a "stepping device” places substantial forces at various angles and such a device must be able to withstand such applied forces, and to some degree counter such forces, while minimizing the travel of the housing 110 on the surface on which the exercise apparatus 100 stands.
- an embodiment of the invention involves using appliques on the bottom of the housing 110 for use on a rough flooring such as a carpeted flooring, and another embodiment involves attaching suctioning devices to the bottom of the housing for use on a smooth surface flooring such as a wooden floor, to increase the static friction of the exercise apparatus 100 depending on the surface on which the exercise apparatus 100 stands.
- FIG. 4 depicts a side view of the exercise apparatus 100 having an air support system.
- exercise apparatus 100 is shown in an "active state".
- a first force 410 is applied to a treadle 406 (corresponding to a treadle 120) connected to the pivot 130, for example by a user's foot (not shown).
- This force compresses bellow 408 (corresponding to a bellow 140) and forces fluid transfer of air through an air support system.
- the transfer of air from bellow 408 results in an increased pressure in bellow 404 (also corresponding to a bellow 140) and produces an upward force, or support force, to raise a treadle 402 (also corresponding to a treadle 120) connected to the pivot 130.
- FIG. 5 shows a schematic diagram of an air support system 500 having angled support bellows.
- the air support system 500 includes bellows 140 having top portions attached to treadles 120 of an exercise apparatus and bottom portions attached to the housing 110 of the exercise apparatus 100.
- the air support system 500 supports movement of treadles 120 of the exercise apparatus, providing a one- or two-dimensional support force to a treadle as the treadle moves down towards the housing 110 of the exercise apparatus. That is, the air support system may receive a force at a first treadle of the exercise apparatus; and transfer the received force to a second treadle of the exercise apparatus, such as via an angled bellow or multiple bellows, thereby facilitating application of a targeted and/or two-dimensional force on a treadle moving downwards or upwards during operation of the exercise apparatus.
- the air support system 500 also includes a sealed air transfer pathway, conduit, or component 510 that contains air 525 and a valve 520 that controls the flow of air within the air transfer pathway 510.
- the air transfer pathway 510 is coupled to an inlet component of a bellow 140, which facilitates the input of air 525 from the air transfer pathway 510 to the bellow 140.
- the air pressure within the bellows 140 and/or air transfer pathway 510 are controlled by the valve 520, which is connected to a knob, such as the knob 150, to regulate resistance and calibrate the exercise apparatus, or other component of the housing 110. This enables a user to adjust the valve 520 and the air pressure within the bellows 140.
- the air transfer pathway 510 facilitates the transfer of forces between treadles 120, such as between a right treadle and a left treadle. That is, a downward force received at a right treadle, such as a force caused by a foot of a user stepping down on the right treadle, may cause air 525 to leave an associate bellow 140, travel through the air transfer pathway 510, and apply a support force, such as a two-dimensional force, to the left treadle.
- the bellows 140 are configured and/or positioned at an angle ⁇ ; with respect to a vertical axis V of the housing 110 of the exercise apparatus. That is, a bellow or bellows 140 are positioned such that an angle ⁇ formed between a longitudinal axis L of a bellow 140 and the plane of the housing 110 of the exercise apparatus 100 is less than 90 degrees. In some cases, the angle ⁇ is an acute angle, such as an angle between 90 and 60 degrees.
- the bellows 140 are configured such that a longitudinal axis L of the right bellow and a longitudinal axis L of the left bellow intersect one another.
- the intersection of inner angle ⁇ is 45 degrees or less.
- the angled bellows 140 provide various targeted support forces to treadles 120, such as support forces having vertical and horizontal components.
- an angled bellow facilitates application of a first dimensional component of a support force and a second dimensional component of the support force to a treadle, among other things.
- the angle of attachment of the bellows 140 is adjustable.
- the treadle 120 includes a coupling component that facilitates user adjustment of the angle ⁇ of one or both bellows 140.
- a user may wish to make adjustments during a workout, by changing the angle of one or both bellows 140 to enhance comfort, target certain muscles.
- the air support system may support treadles of an exercise apparatus via two or more bellows, such as bellows 140.
- FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of an air support system 600 having multiple support bellows.
- the air support system 600 includes outer bellows 610 coupled to outer portions of treadles 120 and inner bellows 620 coupled to inner portions of the treadles 120.
- the outer bellows 610 are coupled to a first air transfer pathway 630 that contains a valve 632 and compressed air 635.
- the inner bellows 620 are coupled to a second air transfer pathway 640 that contains a valve 642 and compressed air 645.
- the outer bellows 610 are taller and expand to a greater degree than the inner bellows 620. This allows an attached treadle 120 to provide an angled support surface, among other benefits.
- the first air transfer pathway 630 is set at a higher pressure than the second air transfer pathway 640. In some embodiments, the first air transfer pathway 630 is set at a lower pressure than the second air transfer pathway 640.
- a knob, such as the knob 150, of the housing 110 controls valve 635 and/or valve 645, in order to adjust the air pressure within one or both air transfer pathways 630, 640.
- use of two or more bellows 610, 620 facilitates the application of targeted support forces, such as a first force at an outer portion of a treadle and a second, optionally different, force at an inner portion of the treadle.
- targeted support forces provide enhanced support and/or comfort for a user of an exercise apparatus, and provide a modified or targeted workout, among other benefits.
- two or more bellows are positioned to provide support at various locations along a treadle.
- Figure 7 shows a side view of an exercise apparatus 700 having multiple support bellows.
- the exercise apparatus 700 includes a back bellow 710 located at a back portion 116 of a housing 110 and a middle bellow 720 located at a middle portion 114 of the housing 110.
- the exercise apparatus 700 may include two or more air transfer pathways, each associated with a set of bellows, such as back bellows 710 and/or middle bellows 720.
- the back bellows 710 provide a first support force to treadles, and the middle bellows 720 provide a second, and different, support force to the treadles.
- the back bellows 710 may provide a support force that is lower than a support force provided by the middle bellows 720.
- the variable support forces may provide enhanced comfort to a user, may provide a workout targeted to specific muscle groups, such as muscle groups within a user's legs, among other benefits.
- an exercise apparatus such as exercise apparatus 100 or 700, utilizes a support system that relies on fluids other than air to provide support to a user of the exercise apparatus.
- a fluid support system includes a hydraulic fluid and/or other compressible or incompressible fluids.
- an exercise apparatus having an air support system provides targeted support to a user of the exercise apparatus via angled bellows and/or multiple bellows, among other things.
