Abstract:
An exercise apparatus with divergent/convergent motion along the symmetric semi elliptical route includes a base frame for supporting all the components of the apparatus, two handlebars move along the symmetric semi elliptical route, two feet pedals move along the symmetric semi elliptical route in harmony with the handlebars, Two link mechanisms to create symmetrical semi elliptical route to support handlebars and feet pedals, power transmission system to connect link mechanisms and synchronize their motion. This apparatus enables user to move hands forward/backward in the same direction so that hands have a lateral divergent motion at the start of the route and lateral convergent motion at the end of the route. By moving hands along the symmetric semi elliptical route a symmetrical variable pressure will be applied on the different muscles. Feet move along the symmetric semi elliptical route in full harmony with hands so that hands move backward/forward in the opposite direction of feet.

Claim (Index 1):
An exercise apparatus enabling a user to move hands in opposite direction of feet longitudinally while hands and feet move in a divergent/convergent manner laterally along symmetrical semi elliptical routes, said apparatus comprising:\n a main frame including a base support adapted to be mounted on a supporting surface, at least one front supporting stand at a front end, at least one rear supporting stand at a rear end, a middle section, and an assumptive reference plane perpendicular to said base support of said main frame and longitudinally passing through the middle of said at least one front and rear supporting stands of the main frame, said at least one front supporting stand including a top section, a rear end, and a bottom section, and said at least one rear supporting stand including an upper section, and a lower section; an upper synchronized unit positioned at said upper section of said at least one front supporting stand of the main frame and comprising two link-gear mechanisms positioned crosswise at said upper section of said at least one front supporting stand of the main frame, and two handlebars, each handlebar has a top end and a bottom end, said top end of said each handlebar grabbed by the user, and said bottom end of said each handlebar connected to each link-gear mechanism of the upper synchronized unit transferring power produced by the user to each said link-gear mechanism and enabling each said link-gear mechanism to move, each said link-gear mechanism providing a semi elliptical route enabling the user to move a respective hand along said semi elliptical route, each said link-gear mechanism comprising a gear, and a link mechanism, said gears of said two link-gear mechanisms are engaged for the purpose of effecting harmonious motion between said two link-gear mechanisms, said two link-gear mechanisms installed symmetrically in relation to said reference plane enabling the user to move hands along the symmetrical semi elliptical routes, the user's hands move forward/backward in a same direction longitudinally while hands have a laterally divergent/convergent motion at a nearest point in relation to the middle section, of the main frame and have a laterally convergent/divergent motion at a farthest point in relation to said middle section of the main frame; a lower synchronized unit positioned at said lower section of said at least one rear supporting stand of the main frame and comprising two crank arm-gear mechanisms positioned crosswise at said lower section of said at least one rear supporting stand of the main frame, and two feet pedals, each feet pedal has a bottom connected to each said crank arm-gear mechanism of the lower synchronized unit transferring power produced by the feet of the user to each said crank arm-gear mechanism and enabling each said crank arm-gear mechanism to move, each said crank arm-gear mechanism providing a semi elliptical route enabling the user to move a respective foot along a semi elliptical route, each said crank arm-gear mechanism comprising a gear, and a crank arm mechanism, said gears of said two crank arm-gear mechanisms are engaged for the purpose of effecting harmonious motion between said two crank arm-gear mechanisms, said two crank arm-gear mechanisms installed symmetrically in relation to said reference plane enabling the user to move feet along the symmetrical semi elliptical routes, the user's feet move forward/backward in the same direction longitudinally while feet have a laterally divergent/convergent motion at a nearest point in relation to said middle section of the main frame and having convergent/divergent motion at a farthest point in relation to the middle section of the main frame; a synchronizer positioned at one lateral side of said rear end of said at least one front supporting stand of the main frame exchanging power between said upper synchronized unit and said lower synchronized unit, said synchronizer effecting harmonious movement between said upper and lower synchronized units so that feet move in the opposite direction of hands longitudinally; a controlling means including a computerized device showing parameters such as heart rate and burned calories of the user, a flywheel positioned at said bottom section of said at least one front supporting stand of the main frame, and at least one magnetic brake/frictional pad positioned at said bottom section of said at least one front supporting stand of the main frame for the purpose of adjusting resisting force on the flywheel, wherein adjusting said resisting forces determines the effort required of the user; a power transmission system positioned at said bottom section of said at least one front supporting stand of the main frame to transfer power from said synchronizer to said flywheel of said controlling unit while increasing the revolutions; and a slide unit positioned at said upper section of said at least one rear supporting stand of the main frame supporting said feet pedals to maintain a straight orientation of said feet pedals longitudinally during the exercise.
