An integrated folding mechanism of a treadmill having a slide pusher
supported by a pneumatic cylinder at the bottom of a platform frame
thereof. In this way, the rear support may be pushed upward to bring the
platform frame in a vertical stable folding position or in a flat
ground-touching position when the platform frame is moved upward and
downward. Meanwhile, a connecting rod is interposed between the rear
support and the handrail assembly such that the handrail assembly can
synchronically move with the platform frame in an extracted or an
extended position.
