Treadmill with manually adjustable magnetic resistance system and manually adjustable angle of inclination

摘要

A treadmill, having: (a) a frame with front and rear rollers and a continuous tread wrapped therearound; (b) a flywheel connected to one of the front or rear rollers; and (c) a magnetic resistance unit positioned near the flywheel to provide resistance to rotation of the flywheel. The magnetic resistance unit is moved up and down by an operator to move a series of magnets to different positions near the flywheel such that the position of the magnets determines the amount of resistance provided to rotation of the flywheel.

主权项

1. A non-motorized treadmill, comprising:
a frame; a front roller connected to the frame; a rear roller connected to the frame; a continuous tread wrapping around the front and rear rollers; a flywheel connected to one of the front or rear rollers, the flywheel controlling a rotation of the continuous tread wrapping around the front and rear rollers; and a magnetic resistance unit positioned near the flywheel to provide resistance to rotation of the flywheel and the continuous tread, wherein the magnetic resistance unit is connected to the frame and is vertically moveable to different positions near the flywheel, and wherein the different positions of the magnetic resistance unit with respect to the flywheel and the continuous tread correspond to an amount of resistance provided to rotation of the flywheel and the continuous tread.
