A folding elliptical exercise machine is disclosed. The folding elliptical machine has a frame that comprises a base support structure and an upright support structure, wherein the base support structure has a front portion and a rear portion, the front portion having a first end and a second end, wherein the rear portion is rotatably attached to the front portion at a pivot mechanism such that the elliptical exercise machine is selectively moveable between an operating position and a storage position. The upright support structure extends upward from the first end of the front portion of the base support structure. The folding elliptical machine further comprises first and second reciprocating foot supports, each foot support having a first end and a second end, a drive assembly situated on the rear portion of the base support structure, and a ramp assembly situated at the first end of the front portion of the base support structure. The respective first ends of the first and second foot supports are releasably attached to the drive assembly and the ramp assembly has first and second guide rails for guiding the respective second ends of the first and second foot supports such that the foot supports move in an elliptical path.

An elliptical exercise machine includes a base support structure adapted to be positioned on a support surface. The machine includes first and second reciprocating foot supports, each foot support being movably linked to the base support structure. Additionally, a ramp assembly is situated on the base support structure, the ramp assembly having first and second guide rails for guiding the respective second ends of the first and second foot supports such that the foot supports move in an elliptical path when the elliptical exercise machine is operating. Moreover, a first support member is linked to the base support structure, wherein the first support member is pivotably linked to the ramp assembly at a point above the base support structure. Furthermore, a lift mechanism is linked on a first end to the base support structure and pivotably linked on a second end to the ramp assembly above the base support structure.

482052000, 482057000

An elliptical exercise machine comprising a base support structure having a front portion, a rear portion, and a pivot joint comprising a pivot mechanism configured to pivotally connect the front and rear portions, the pivot mechanism being configured to facilitate a breakaway of the base support and an upward rotation of the rear portion with respect to the front portion, thereby enabling the elliptical exercise machine to fold into a compact configuration; an upright support structure extending upward with respect to the base support structure; a drive assembly operably supported about the rear portion of the base support structure and comprising a drive component configured to rotate about a pivot axis; and a reciprocating foot support operable with the drive assembly and configured to travel about a closed path upon rotation of the drive component and operation of the elliptical exercise machine. In a preferred embodiment, the reciprocating foot support is configured to releasably engage the drive component, thereby allowing the rear portion to fold upward and the reciprocating foot support also to be folded upward and out of the way.

An exercise apparatus, such as a front end or an upright elliptical trainer, includes a drive mechanism connected to a first reciprocating member and a second reciprocating member. Each reciprocating member includes a footpad that travels in an elliptical path. The exercise apparatus also includes a first arm member and a second arm member connected to the drive mechanism. Each arm member includes a first portion having a handle that travels in a back and forth path and a second portion having at least a part of which that travels in a circular or elliptical path. To convert the circular motion of the second portion to the back and forth motion of the handle, the second portion has an effective variable length that permits the distance between a first connection point and a second connection point of the arm members to change as the drive mechanism is actuated.
