[0006] The disclosure and prior art relates to exercise assemblies
and more particularly pertains to a new exercise assembly for
walking, running and biking exercises.
(h) BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0007] An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented
above by generally comprising a treadmill. A stationary bike is
reversibly positionable on and couplable to the treadmill. A screen
is coupled to the treadmill and is reversibly couplable to the
stationary bike. The screen is configured to interact with a user
who is selectively positioned on the treadmill and the stationary
bike. The improvements are the stationary bike that is reversibly
couplable to the treadmill and the screen that is coupled to the
treadmill and which is reversibly couplable to the stationary
bike.
[0008] There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more
important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed
description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in
order that the present contribution to the art may be better
appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that
will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject
matter of the claims appended hereto.
[0009] The objects of the disclosure, along with the various
features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed
out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part
of this disclosure.
(i) BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWING(S)
[0010] The disclosure will be better understood and objects other
than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration
is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such
description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
[0011] FIG. 1 is an isometric perspective view of a modular
multifunctional exercise assembly according to an embodiment of the
disclosure.
[0012] FIG. 2 is an end view of an embodiment of the
disclosure.
[0013] FIG. 3 is a side view of an embodiment of the
disclosure.
[0014] FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of an embodiment of the
disclosure.
[0015] FIG. 5 is a top view of an embodiment of the disclosure.
(j) DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0016] With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
FIGS. 1 through 5 thereof, a new exercise assembly embodying the
principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and
generally designated by the reference numeral 10 will be
described.
[0017] As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 5, the modular
multifunctional exercise assembly 10 generally comprises a
treadmill 12. A stationary bike 14 is reversibly positionable on
and couplable to the treadmill 12. In one embodiment, the treadmill
12 and the stationary bike 14 are sized to fit a child. In another
embodiment, the stationary bike 14 comprises a frame 16 that is
substantially squarely shaped.
[0018] A first coupler 18 is coupled to the treadmill 12. The first
coupler 18 is positioned on a top 20 of the treadmill 12. A second
coupler 22 is coupled to the stationary bike 14. The second coupler
22 is positioned on a lower face 24 of the stationary bike 14. The
second coupler 22 is complementary to the first coupler 18. The
second coupler 22 is positioned to couple to the first coupler 18
to couple the stationary bike 14 to the treadmill 12.
[0019] In one embodiment, the second coupler 22 comprises a pair of
slats 26. The slats 26 are coupled to and extend from the lower
face 24 of the stationary bike 14. Each slat 26 is longitudinally
positioned along a respective opposing side 28 of the frame 16. In
this embodiment, the first coupler 18 comprises a pair of tubes 30.
The tubes 30 are coupled to and extend from the top 20 of the
treadmill 12. Each tube 30 is positioned longitudinally along a
respective opposing edge 32 of the treadmill 12. Each tube 30 has
an upper surface 34. The upper surface 34 is open such that each
tube 30 defines a channel 36. The channels 36 are positioned to
slidably insert the slats 26 to couple the stationary bike 14 to
the treadmill 12.
[0020] A plurality of first fasteners 38 is coupled to the tubes
30. A plurality of second fasteners 40 is coupled to the slats 26.
The second fasteners 40 are complementary to the first fasteners
38. The second fasteners 40 are positioned to couple to the first
fasteners 38 to couple the slats 26 to the tubes 30. In one
embodiment, the plurality of second fasteners 40 comprises second
fasteners 40 that are positioned singly proximate to each corner 42
of the frame 16. In another embodiment, the second fasteners 40
comprise penetrations 44 and the first fasteners 38 comprise pins
46. The pins 46 are spring-loaded. The pins 46 are positioned on
the tubes 30 to selectively insert into the penetrations 44 to
couple the slats 26 to the tubes 30.
[0021] A screen 48 is coupled to the treadmill 12. The screen 48
also is reversibly couplable to the stationary bike 14. The screen
48 is configured to interact with a user who is selectively
positioned on the treadmill 12 and the stationary bike 14. In one
embodiment, the screen 48 is configured to operationally control
the treadmill 12 and the stationary bike 14. In another embodiment,
the screen 48 is configured to present interactive video images,
such as scenes and stories, to educate the user.
[0022] A first connector 50 is coupled to a front 52 of the
stationary bike 14. A cord 54 is coupled to and extends from the
screen 48. A second connector 56 is coupled to the cord 54 distal
from the screen 48. The second connector 56 is complementary to the
first connector 50. The second connector 56 is positioned to
selectively couple to the first connector 50 to operationally
couple the stationary bike 14 to the screen 48. In one embodiment,
the second connector 56 comprises a plug 58 and the first connector
50 comprises a port 60.
[0023] In use, the tubes 30 are positioned on the treadmill 12 such
that the channels 36 are positioned to slidably insert the slats 26
to couple the stationary bike 14 to the treadmill 12. The pins 46
are positioned to selectively insert into the penetrations 44 to
couple the slats 26 to the tubes 30. The second connector 56 is
positioned to selectively couple to the first connector 50 to
operationally couple the stationary bike 14 to the screen 48. The
screen 48 is configured to interact with a user who is selectively
positioned on the treadmill 12 and the stationary bike 14.
[0024] With respect to the above description then, it is to be
realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts
of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations
in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation,
assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one
skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those
illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are
intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
[0025] Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only
of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous
modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in
the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact
construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly,
all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to,
falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent
document, the word "comprising" is used in its non-limiting sense
to mean that items following the word are included, but items not
specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element
by the indefinite article "a" does not exclude the possibility that
more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly
requires that there be only one of the elements.
