Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to a remote control device
that is held by the user who is using an exercising machine so as
to conveniently adjust the status of the exercising machine.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] A conventional exercising machine such as the exerciser bike
is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 and generally includes an h-shaped frame
10 and a seat 12 and a post 19 are respectively connected the frame
10. A handle is connected to a top of the post 19 and a display
device 15 with an operation panel 16 is connected to the display
device 15. A resistance device 11 is located in front of the seat
12 and includes a crank with pedals so that the user may sits in
the seat 12 and operates the crank by feet. A cable 14 is received
in two armrests 17 on two sides of the seat 12 and two sensor grips
13 are connected to the two armrests 17. A control unit 18 is
connected to the display device 15 and receives signals from the
cable 14 so as to display the data of the blood pressure, the
number of pulse and/or other physical conditions of the user. The
display device 15 also displays the status of the exercising
machine that is operated by the user. However, when the user wants
to adjust the status of the exercising machine such as the
resistance of the resistance device 11, he or she has to stand up
and operates the buttons on the panel 16 and this will stop the
action of the users.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0003] In accordance with one aspect of the present invention,
there is provided a remote control assembly for an exercising
machine and comprises a body having two sensor grips connected to
two ends thereof and a receiving device is connected to the body. A
control panel is located between the two sensor grips and a
receiving device is connected to the display device.
[0004] The primary object of the present invention is to provide a
remote control assembly that allows the user to adjust the status
of the exercising machine while operating and does not need to
stand up.
[0005] The present invention will become more obvious from the
following description when taken in connection with the
accompanying drawings which show, for purposes of illustration
only, a preferred embodiment in accordance with the present
invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0015] Referring to FIGS. 3, 4, and 7, an exercising machine 20
includes a frame 23 and a seat 24 in which a user may sit and holds
two armrests on two sides of the seat 24. An operation mechanism 21
is connected to in front of the seat 24 and a proper mechanism is
received therein. A crank extends through a casing enclosing the
mechanism and two pedals are connected to two ends of the crank
such that the user may rotate the crank by his/her feet. A handle
is connected to a post extending from the frame 23 and a display
device 22 is connected to a top of the post. A receiving device 221
is connected to a lower edge of the display device 22 and faces the
seat 24 of the exercising machine 20.
[0016] The remote control assembly of the present invention
comprises a body 25 that has two sensor grips 251 connected to two
ends thereof and an receiving device 250 is connected to the body
25. A control panel 252 is located between the two sensor grips 251
on the body 25 and a video device 253 is connected to the body
25.
[0017] The data that is detected by the sensor grips 251 can be
sent to the receiving device 221 and displayed on the screen of the
display device 22. If the user wants to adjust the status of the
exercising machine, he or she simply operates the buttons on the
control panel 252 and sends the instruction orders to the receiving
device 221 to adjust the exercising machine without stopping the
actions of exercising and standing up. The video device 253
provides an entertainment feature for the users. FIG. 5 shows that
the display device that was installed on the exercising machine 20
can be installed to the body 25 as shown and a receiving/emitting
device 211 is connected to the operation mechanism 21. An
emitting/receiving device 250' is connected to the body 25 so that
the exercising machine and the remote control assembly may mutual
communicate with each other as shown in FIG. 8.
[0018] FIGS. 9 and 10 show that the remote control assembly may be
used with exercising bike and stepping exerciser.
[0019] While we have shown and described the embodiment in
accordance with the present invention, it should be clear to those
skilled in the art that further embodiments may be made without
departing from the scope of the present invention.
