Patent attributes
A foldable treadmill includes a treadbase having two short sides and two long sides, a base frame extended in the extending direction of the short sides of the treadbase and supported on a supporting surface, a linkage unit coupled between the treadbase and the base frame, and a retractable unit including a pivot-connection portion pivotally connected to the base frame and a retractable member interlocking with the linkage unit and movable relative to the pivot-connection portion between a retracted position where the long sides of the treadbase are disposed in proximity to the supporting surface and an extended position where the long sides of said treadbase are disposed far from the supporting surface and the position of the linkage unit is shifted with the retractable member to reduce the clearance between the linkage unit and the treadbase to minimize space occupation.
