ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The preferred embodiment proposed in this invention pertains to incorporating a treadmill support device, particularly referring to a folding condition that provides a sure way to stabilize the runner frarne, whether it be positioned horizontally in an operative mode, or in a vertical folded state to achieve sound and stable support function, that further provides comfortability and safety features of an innovative invention.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Pursuant to the basic design deployed in most common treadmills due to bulky dimension and volume that tends to take up considerable space, thus most of them have been incorporated with the feature of having the frame flipped vertically in a folded condition so to reduce its bulk and the space that it takes up. Therefore, it has become a critical consideration in terms of how to ensure its stability when the treadmill is flipped to an vertical upright position or else it may be prone to fall down causing incidental occurrence that may endanger the safety of people.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
With the above consideration in mind, the inventor, being aware of the situations described above, has broached the issue from the angle of safety, combined with years of practical know-how, to instigate further research and developing aggressively so to reveal pertinent techniques to the market place. It primarily pertains to incorporating a support function that provides a sound and stable condition of a treadmill whether is be in a horizontal, operative condition, or in vertical upright state of a folded condition that further provides comfortability and safety, and prevent casters from moving around as the prim-e design objective of this invention.
