Foldable gymnastic machine

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a gymnastic apparatus and method for cycling simulation having a transmission portion driven by pedals, through which a user may perform cycling training. The transmission portion may comprise a flywheel and a braking portion, which may apply a braking force to the flywheel. The apparatus may further comprise a control logic unit, through which training parameters may be set, and a sensor coupled to the control logic unit. The sensor may detect a signal relating to the torque acting on the flywheel and thereby send a signal to the control logic unit; the control logic unit may be configured to adjust the braking force of the braking portion applied to the flywheel, thereby adjusting the resistance to the pedals as a function of parameters set, as appropriate, and communicate information and adjust such changes via a feedback signal from the sensor.

Gymnastic apparatus for cycling simulation and operating methods thereof

A collapsible chassis for strollers includes a base frame supporting at least one front post and at least one rear post with wheel assemblies. The base frame further supports at least one handle tube. An actuation element is supported by the base frame and is actuated by the user to move the chassis from the open condition to the closed condition. The actuation element is movable with respect to both the handle tube and the movable post and is connected by way of a first kinematic connection element to the movable post and by way of a second kinematic connection element to the handle tube. Actuating the actuation element causes the rotation of the movable post and handle tube. A third kinematic connection element is provided which includes an articulation element adapted to cause a motion of mutual approach in a transverse direction of the two rear posts.

The present invention concerns a support frame for a gymnastic apparatus, particularly for a cycling simulation device, comprising a base, and a first arm hinged with said base and a second arm hinged with said base, so that said first and second arm can assume a closed position and an open position, rotating with respect to said base, characterized in that said support frame comprises an articulation member articulated with said base and said first and second arm such that the rotation of one of said first or second arm relatively to said base causes a rotational translation of said articulation member and the rotation of the other arm with respect to said base, causing the passage from said closed position to said open position or vice versa.
