Patent ID: 8852059

Claim:
A stationary elliptical exercise device comprising: (a) a frame defining a longitudinally and transversely extending mid-sagittal plane, and (b) left and right comprehensive linkages each including a plurality of links, operably supported on the frame, and including a foot supporting linkage that includes at least: (i) a foot link operable for movement of a connection point on the foot link through a generally elliptical path within a parasagittal plane, (ii) a foot platform pivotally connected proximate a first end to the connection point on the foot link for lateral pivoting about a transverse pivot axis, and (iii) a drawbar interconnecting the foot platform to another link in the comprehensive linkage for effecting constrained coordinated pivoting of the foot platform about the transverse pivot axis as the connection point moves along the generally elliptical path.
