Abstract
An improved mechanism to the electronic control panel of treadmills includes a main electronic control board which including a framework, a main control board, and a base plate. The main control board is assembled at a receiving slot in the center of the framework, while on one side of the receiving slot, an elongated groove is furnished, which is connected and fastened to the main control board so that it joins the opposite side of the main control board to form a gliding slot for the motor speed-control button. In the mean time, one side wall beneath the main control board near the gliding slot is equipped with an adjustable resistor that controls the motor operating cycle, and the adjustable resistor is made in a paralleled condition to the sliding slot, while the lever is extended towards outside. In such configuration, it serves to engage the shaft receptacle at the motor speed control button to complete the assembly. The lever is exposed outside the gliding slot so that the shaft of the adjustable resistor is not located on the same vertical surfaces as that of the gliding slot as the main feature.
