Abstract:
1. A fitness device designed for the exercise of the lower limbs, comprising: two pedals designed to be actuated alternately by the lower limbs; a common support designed to rest on the floor; a means designed for connecting, in an articulated manner, each pedal to the support; a means positioned between each pedal and the support designed to oppose a resistance to the pressure exerted on each pedal by each of the lower limbs; a means positioned between each pedal and the support, designed to produce a restoring force adapted to bring up the pedal that is no longer actuated by the corresponding lower limb as well as the corresponding limb; characterized in that the pedals, the support and the means designed for connecting, means designed to oppose, and means designed to produce a restoring force are made in complete integration by means of a single plate made of elastic material, in “V” shape with a rounded vertex, or “U” shape with parallel or flared branches, one of the branches thereof being provided with a gap reaching to the base of the “V” or “U”, adapted to form the two pedals, the other branch thereof forms the support common to the pedals and each rounded vertex thereof, which connects each pedal to the support forms, in itself alone, the means for articulation, resistance to pressure, and return of each pedal.
