The present invention relates to an elevating apparatus of an exercise treadmill. The elevating apparatus utilizes a servomotor to drive a transmission spindle into rotation by a gearbox, thereby driving a slide shaft to move to and fro between two base bars of the main frame. At least two lift shafts are pivotably connected to one end of the slide shafts while the other end thereof is pivotably connected to folding bars. Either folding bar is L-shaped and includes a first, a second and a third pivoting members. Moreover, the first pivoting member is pivotally mounted on the deck, the second pivoting member is pivotally mounted on the main frame and the third pivoting member is selectively pivotally attached to the deck by a latch. Accordingly, when the third pivoting member is separated from the deck, the elevating apparatus will perform an elevating action to be located at an inclined position. And when the third pivoting member is positioned in the pivoting hole of the deck, the elevating apparatus will perform a folding action to be located at a substantially upright position.

A fold-up mechanism for an electric treadmill having a single lifting motor for bringing a main frame thereof in a tilt and a fold-up position. The lifting motor and a transmission spindle are positioned between both inverted T-bases. A slide tube with a female threaded hole is threadedly mounted on the transmission spindle. An opposing end of the slide tube is pivotally coupled to a lifting rod. Meanwhile, a front cross bar is attached to an opposing end of the lifting rod. Two handrails are extended upwardly from both side of the front cross bar. Moreover, one end of the main frame is pivotally attached to middle bars of the inverted T-bases while a telescopic unit and a pull rod are pivotally coupled at a first end thereof to the bottom end of the main frame as well as at a second end thereof to slide tube and the lifting rod, respectively. In this way, when the lifting motor comes into operation to impart motion to the transmission spindle for an in-place rotation, the slide tube undergoes a reciprocating displacement, thereby bringing the main frame in a tilted and a fold-up position.

A lifting mechanism and treadmill arrangement is constructed to include a base frame having a horizontal guide frame, a treadmill base, two links bilaterally mounted on the base frame, and a lifting mechanism mounted between a front side of the treadbase and the base frame and having a push member and an inclining motor controlled to drive the push member to move back and forth along the guide frame so as to adjust the angle of inclination of the treadbase.

A mechanism mounted on a stationary exercise bicycle including a frame, a rear seat, a front drive mechanism having a pedal at either side, and a numeric display is disclosed. In one embodiment, the mechanism includes a mounting assembly fixedly mounted at one side of the frame and including upper and lower mounting lugs; and an arm including an upper section secured to the display and a lower section having a distal end releasably secured to the upper section and a proximal end pivotably fastened between the mounting lugs. The display is adapted to dispose in a first position in front of the seat, in a second position at one side of the frame or in a position between the first position and the second position by pivoting about the mounting assembly.

A treadmill is provided that has a treadmill drive motor carriage that can pivot relative to a frame of the treadmill such that the incline of the treadmill can be controlled while the carriage can be moved to a position that permits upright storage of the treadmill on the carriage. This arrangement advantageously permits a walk through treadmill design to be used that can be stored uprightly. The treadmill can be equipped with a console and stanchion that can be folded against the deck of the treadmill. One incline arrangement pivots the carriage using an incline drive carried by the carriage that engages a gear grounded to the treadmill frame. Another preferred incline arrangement uses a four bar linkage movable carried by the frame that is driven by a linear actuator to pivot the carriage.
