Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to a foldable
exercising-working device, and more particularly, to a device
combining exercising and working features together.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The conventional exercising device such as the treadmill as
disclosed in FIG. 8 generally comprises a base 90 with two support
tubes 91 extending from two sides of the base 90. A work board 92
is connected between the two respective tops of the two support
tubes 91. A treadmill endless belt 93 is connected between the two
support tubes 81 and located below the work board 92. The users can
work on the work board 92 while exercise on the treadmill endless
belt 93.
[0003] However, the disclosed device does not have proper folding
mechanism so that the base 90 and the treadmill endless belt 93 are
stored separately when not in use, and this requires more space to
store the two separated parts. The present invention intends to
provide a foldable exercising-working device which can be folded to
be a smaller combination so as to save the space for storage.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0004] The present invention relates to a foldable
exercising-working device and comprises a frame having a base with
two support tubes extending from the base. The base is stably put
on the ground and two connection portions are respectively
connected to the two support tubes. A work board is pivotably
connected to the connection portions by its underside so that the
work board is pivotable relative to the connection portions. An
exercising unit has a first end located below the work board and a
second end of the exercising unit is put on the ground. A movable
unit is movable on the exercising unit.
[0005] The primary object of the present invention is to provide a
foldable exercising-working device, wherein the work board is
pivotable so as to save the space required to store the device.
[0006] The primary object of the present invention is to provide a
foldable exercising-working device, wherein the exercising unit is
pivoted so as to be easily stored.
[0007] 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.

underside of the work board and the connection portions of the
support tubes;
[0010] FIG. 3 is a side view to show the support frame at the
underside of the work board connected to the connection portions of
the support tubes;
[0011] FIG. 4 shows that the exercising unit is pivotably connected
to the frame of the present invention;
[0012] FIG. 5 shows that the work board is pivoted relative to the
connection portions of the present invention;

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
[0016] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 7, the foldable exercising-working
device of the present invention comprises a frame 1, a work board 2
and an exercising unit 3.
[0017] The frame 1 comprises a base 10 which has two support tubes
11 extending from two sides of the base 10. The base 10 is stably
put on the ground. Two connection portions 12 are respectively
connected to the two support tubes 11.
[0018] In this embodiment, each of the connection portions 12 has
two connection plates 120 parallel to each other and a bottom plate
is connected between the two connection plates 120. Each connection
plate 120 has multiple holes 121 defined therethrough and a notch
122 is defined in each of two ends of the bottom plate.
[0019] The work board 2 has a support frame 20 connected to the
underside thereof and the two sides of the support frame 20 are
respectively and pivotably connected to the connection portions 12,
such that the work board 2 can be pivoted to a horizontal position
and an upright position. In this embodiment, the support frame 20
is pivotably connected to the connection portions 12 by two
pins.
[0020] In this embodiment, the support frame 20 has two through
holes 200 defined in each end sections thereof and the two end
sections of the support frame 20 are respectively connected between
the two connection plates 120 of the two connection portions 12. A
first pin 21 and a second pin 22 extend through the holes 121 in
connection plates 120 of each of the connection portions 12 and the
through holes 200 of each of the two end sections of the support
frame 20. By the first and second pins 21, 22, both of which are
use d as first positioning members, the work board 2 is positioned
at the horizontal position as shown in FIG. 3. When either of the
first and second pins 21, 22 is pulled out from one of the through
holes 200 of the end sections and one of the holes 121 of the
connection plates 120, the other one of the first and second pins
21, 22 is the pivot about which the work board 2 is pivoted to the
upright position as shown in FIG. 5. In FIG. 5, the first pins 21
are pulled out and the work board 2 is pivoted about the second
pins 22, and the end sections of the work board 2 is engaged with
the notch 122 of the connection portions 12 to allow the work board
2 to be pivoted to the upright position.
[0021] The support tubes 11 each have an outer tube 110 and an
inner tube 111 which is movably inserted into the outer tube 110.
The inner tube 111 is positioned relative to the outer tube 110 by
a second positioning member 112 which extends through the outer
tube 110 and positions the inner tube 111. A stop 113 is connected
to the inner tube 111 and protrudes from one side of the inner tube
111 so that when the inner tube 111 is inserted into the outer tube
110, the stop 113 prevents the inner tube 111 from completely
inserted into the outer tube 110.
[0022] The exercising unit 3 is located below the work board 2 and
a movable unit 30 is movable on the exercising unit 3. In this
embodiment, the exercising unit 3 is a treadmill endless belt. The
exercising unit 3 has two pivots 31 on two sides thereof so as to
be pivotably connected to the frame 1. The exercising unit 3 has
the first end located below the work board 2 and the second end of
the exercising unit 3 is put on the ground. A support member 32 is
connected between the frame 1 and the exercising unit 3 as shown in
FIG. 5. In this embodiment, the support member 32 is a hydraulic
cylinder.
[0023] The exercising unit 3 is pivotable about the pivots 31
relative to the frame 1 and the support member 32 position the
exercising unit 3 at the angular position which saves the space
when the device is stored. The work board 2 can be pivoted relative
to the support tubes 11 from the horizontal position to the upright
position, and the exercising unit 3 can be pivoted upward by the
support member 32 such that the space for storing the device is
minimized.
[0024] 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.
