Abstract

A pet treadmill includes a power source for outputting a drive power. An exercise platform is laterally connected to the power source. The exercise platform includes a longitudinally main from stably disposed on a supporting ground, multiple supports secured on a bottom of the main frame to make the main frame being separated from the supporting ground, a support platform mounted within the main frame for enhancing the structure of the main frame, two driven axles transversely and rotatably mounted to two opposite ends of the main frame, and an endless strap coiled the two driven axle and surround the support, wherein a corresponding one of the two driven axle is driven by the manual power source to operate the endless strap, on which the pet imitates a jog action.

Claims

1. A pet treadmill comprising:

a manual power source for outputting a drive power; and

an exercise platform laterally connected to the manual power source, the exercise platform including a longitudinally main from stably disposed on a supporting ground, multiple supports secured on a bottom of the main frame to make the main frame being separated from the supporting ground, a support platform mounted within the main frame for enhancing the structure of the main frame, two driven axles transversely and rotatably mounted to two opposite ends of the main frame, an endless strap coiled the two driven axle and surround the support, wherein a corresponding one of the two driven axle is driven by the manual power source to operate the endless strap, on which the pet imitates a jog action.

2. The pet treadmill as claimed in claim 1, wherein the manual power source includes a base disposed on the supporting ground, a T-shaped hand bar and a step device respectively mounted on the base, the step device outputting drive power when the step device is operated.

3. The pet treadmill as claimed in claim 2, wherein the step device includes a crank mounted on and rotatable relative to the base, two pedals respectively mounted to two opposite ends of the crank for user to step thereon and drive the crank, a drive wheel securely sleeved on a horizontal portion of the crank such that the drive wheel synchronously rotated with the crank, a drive element linking the drive wheel and the corresponding driven axle such that the driven axle is rotated when the drive wheel is operated.

4. The pet treadmill as claimed in claim 3, wherein the drive element is a belt that partially surrounds the drive wheel and the corresponding driven axle.

5. The pet treadmill as claimed in claim 1, wherein the support platform has a net-like structure.

6. The pet treadmill as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a shield mounted on one side of the main frame for restricting the active area of the pet.

7. The pet treadmill as claimed in claim 1 further comprising multiple limiters secured on two opposite sides of the bottom of the main frame to prevent the endless strap from detaching from the two driven axles.

8. The pet treadmill as claimed in claim 7, wherein each limiter is bent rigid shaft for inward pushing the endless strap for ensuring the endless strap centrally corresponding to the main frame.

9. The pet treadmill as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a link device mounted between the manual power source and the exercise platform for transmitting the drive power from the manual power source to the exercise platform.

10. The pet treadmill as claimed in claim 9, wherein the link device includes a hollow drive axle having a first end co-axially connected to the corresponding driven axle, the first end of the drive axle having an indentation defined therein and the corresponding driven axle having a bore diametrically defined therein, a licking pin extending through the bore in the corresponding driven axle and engaged to the indentation such that the drive axle can not be axially rotated relative to the driven axle, a fastener longitudinally extending through the drive axle and co-axially mounted to the driven axle such that the drive axle can not be longitudinal moved relative to the driven axle.

11. A pet treadmill comprising:

a motor for outputting a drive power; and

an exercise platform laterally connected to the motor, the exercise platform including a longitudinally main from stably disposed on a supporting ground, multiple supports secured on a bottom of the main frame to make the main frame being separated from the supporting ground, a support platform mounted within the main frame for enhancing the structure of the main frame, two driven axles transversely and rotatably mounted to two opposite ends of the main frame, an endless strap coiled the two driven axle and surround the support, wherein a corresponding one of the two driven axle is driven by the motor to operate the endless strap, on which the pet imitates a jog action.

12. The pet treadmill as claimed in claim 11, wherein the support platform has a net-like structure.

13. The pet treadmill as claimed in claim 11 further comprising a shield mounted on one side of the main frame for restricting the active area of the pet.

14. The pet treadmill as claimed in claim 11 further comprising multiple limiters secured on two opposite sides of the bottom of the main frame to prevent the endless strap from detaching from the two driven axles.

15. The pet treadmill as claimed in claim 14, wherein each limiter is bent rigid shaft for inward pushing the endless strap for ensuring the endless strap centrally corresponding to the main frame.
