Static pedalling fitness apparatus with lateral swinging
First Claim
1. Static pedalling fitness apparatus (1) for the performance of physical exercise by a user on a floor, comprising a set of pedals (4) which turn on to a crank axle (23), a seat (5) and a handlebar (6), said apparatus further comprising:
- a fixed part (2) which does not move with respect to the floor,the set of pedals (4) and the seat (5) fixed on a movable part (3) which is engaged on the fixed part (2) and swings with respect to the fixed part (2) laterally around a turning axis (22) located along the length of the apparatus and below the crank axle (23) located perpendicular to the turning axis (22),wherein the handlebar (6) swings on an articulated junction (7) that connects the handlebar (6) to the fixed part (2) and/or the movable part (3) and swings relative to the pedals (4) and the seat (5) along the length of the crank axle (23) separate from the turning axis,wherein the handlebar (6) swings with respect to the fixed part (2) a greater amplitude than the movable part (3) swings with respect to the fixed part (2).

Abstract
Static pedalling fitness apparatus (1) that, with great accuracy, simulates the real excercise of pedalling on a conventional road biclycle while standing up and swinging the bicycle sideways. For this purpose, the fitness apparatus (1) comprises a fixed part (2) which is basically unmovable with respect to the floor, a movable part (3) which is capable of swinging laterally with respect to the fixed part (2) and which includes the set of pedals (4) and the seat (5), and another tilting part that is the handlebar (6) of the apparatus (1). The handlebar (6) is capable of oscillating separately from the oscillation of the movable part (3), i.e. the handlebar (6) presents a relative swinging movement with respect to the set of pedals (4) and the seat (5).

14. Static pedalling fitness apparatus (1) for the performance of physical exercise by a user, which comprises a set of pedals (4) capable of turning with respect to a crank axle (23), a seat (5) and a handlebar (5), which is characterized in that it comprises:
-
a fixed part (2), which presents no substantial movement with respect to the floor, a movable part (3), comprising the set of pedals (4) and the seat (5), and which may swing with respect to the fixed part (2), said swing taking place with respect to a turning axis (22) located substantially below the crank axle (23), where the handlebar (6) may swing with respect to an articulated junction (7) that connects the handlebar (6) to the fixed part (2) and/or the movable part (3), presenting a relative swinging movement with respect to the pedals (4) and the seat (5), presenting the swinging of the handlebar (6) with respect to the fixed part (2) an substantially greater amplitude than the swinging of the movable part (3) with respect to the fixed part (2); wherein the articulated junction (7) of the handlebar (6) presents an axis with an inclination with respect to he floor of between 15 and 45°

15. Static pedalling fitness apparatus (1) for the performance of physical exercise by a user, which comprises a set of pedals (4) capable of turning with respect to a crank axle (23), a seat (5) and a handlebar (6), which is characterized in that it comprises:
-
a fixed part (2), which presents no substantial movement with respect to the floor, a movable part (3), comprising the set of pedals (4) and the seat (5), and which may swing with respect to the fixed part (2), said swing taking place with respect to a turning axis (22) located substantially below the crank axle (23), where the handlebar (6) may swing with respect to an articulated junction (7) that connects the handlebar (6) to the fixed part (2) and/or the movable part (3), presenting a relative swinging movement with respect to the pedals (4) and the seat (5), presenting the swinging of the handlebar (6) with respect to the fixed part (2) an substantially greater amplitude than the swinging of the movable part (3) with respect to the fixed part (2), the swinging between the handlebar (6) and the fixed part (2) and/or the movable part (3) and the swinging of the movable part (3) with respect to the fixed part (2) are dependent on each other; and a blocking system (19) which can at least partially block the movable part (3) and/or the handlebar (6) to hinder or prevent its swinging, where the blocking system (19) connects the movable part (3) to the fixed part (2), where the partial or total blocking of the swinging of the movable part (3) blocks the swinging of the handlebar (6).
