The patent application (Publication Number: US20230390601A1) describes a novel treadmill design with a moving surface composed of slats that are interconnected. Each slat features an outer surface with ridges and channels, along with an inner surface made of a material with a higher tensile modulus. The treadmill includes a comb guard at the rear end of the deck, consisting of protrusions that lift objects from the channels when the surface is in motion. The gaps between the protrusions and channels are designed to be 2 millimeters or less, ensuring efficient operation.
Furthermore, the patent application details an assembly for a treadmill, incorporating a deck, a moving surface, and a comb guard assembly. The moving surface, a slat-based belt, interacts with the guard assembly as it moves around the deck. The comb guard features channels that receive ridges of the moving surface, enhancing the functionality of the treadmill. Additionally, a guard for the treadmill is described, comprising a cover and a comb interface that interacts with the moving surface. The comb interface includes angled protrusions and channels, providing protection for the rear area of the deck while allowing for smooth movement during treadmill operation. The guard can be easily removed and fixed to the deck as needed, adding to the convenience and versatility of the design.
