Exercise apparatus with hand crank and foot crank

摘要

Apparatus 1 comprises a base 2, a bed 3 on which a user lies, and a set of cranks 8, 13 to be turned by the feet and hands. Both cranks are associated with a toothed drive wheel and are connected by a toothed drive belt. If the user has a disability of the upper limbs only the foot crank 8 need be used, and vice versa if the user has a disability of the lower limbs. Alternatively, both cranks can be used or a motor may be attached to the device to turn the cranks. The whole apparatus, including the bed 3, may be tilted as shown in figure 5. This is achieved by turning adjuster 6. Second adjuster 12 may be used to lengthen or shorten the distance between the cranks 8, 13. Saddle 17 may be used to help support the user when the bed 3 is in the inclined position. A dynamo may be attached by bracket 10, and used to power a radio.
