Patent attributes
A realistic sloping simulation device for a fitness equipment is disclosed, generally including a fixed base, a host tube, a support frame, and a driving unit. The host tube has a first end coupled to the fixed base. The support frame has a lower end slidably coupled to the fixed base and an upper end pivoted to the host tube between the first end and the second end. The driving unit is disposed between the host tube and the support frame or between the host tube and the fixed base. The fixed base, the host tube, and the support frame jointly form a linkage mechanism. By means of the driving unit driving the lower end of the support frame to move relative to the fixed base or the host tube, the second end of the host tube is caused to swing or rotate so as to simulate different slopes.
