ABSTRACT:
A foldable jogging machine comprises a support body, a jogging platform, a connection member, a linear actuating device, and a lifting member. The support body is formed of a base and a support frame. The jogging platform has a front side, a rear side, a left side and a right side. The front side is provided with a receiving slot in which a first motor is mounted for driving a track located between the left side and the right side. The rear side is provided with at least one roller in contact with the floor surface. The base of the support body is fastened pivotally with the front side of the jogging platform by the connection member such that the jogging platform can be moved between a first position and a second position in relation to the base. The linear actuating device comprises a second motor mounted in the receiving slot, and an expandable rod driven by the second motor. The lifting member has a load portion, a force application portion, and two pivoting portions located between the load portion and the force application portion. The pivoting portions are pivoted with the receiving slot. The load portion is connected with the expandable rod. The force application portion is provided with at least one roller. The lifting member is actuated to swivel to elevate the front side of the jogging platform at the time when the platform is located at the first position and when the expandable rod is extracted. The track is thus sloped. When the platform is located at the second position, the roller of the force application portion is in contact with the floor surface to give a support to the platform held in a folded position.
