ABSTRACT:
A jogging machine consists of a base, a jogging belt device, and a pulling device. The base is used to support the jogging belt device and the pulling device on the floor. The jogging belt device is composed of a support frame which is pivoted at one end to the base such that other end of the support frame is rested on the floor, and that the jogging belt device is rested stably and slantingly on the floor. The pulling device is composed of a guide rod, which is fastened at one end thereof with the base, and a sliding member mounted on the guide rod such that the sliding member is capable of a reciprocating motion along the longitudinal direction of the guide rod, and that the sliding member is kept at a first position on the guide rod by an elastic member. The sliding member can be forced to slide away from the first position by an external force greater than the elastic force of the elastic member and exerting on a pulling member which is connected with the sliding member. When the external force exerting on the pulling member becomes smaller than the elastic force of the elastic member, the sliding member is pulled by the elastic force of the elastic member to slide back to the first position.
