An exercising device includes a hand operated member pivoted to a frame and connected to a first coupler, a lever member pivoted to the frame and connected to the hand operated member by a linking bar, and a second coupler member with a front coupling end connected to the lever member and a rear coupling end in friction contact with a motion guiding member which is journalled on first and second crank members. As such, the second coupling member proceeds with a reciprocating movement in a substantially elliptical path which is restrained by the pivot connection between the handle operated member and the lever member.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The object of the present invention is to provide an exercising device which can generate a variable elliptical foot path to suit the requirements of different users.
According to this invention, the exercising device includes a base support which is adapted to be placed on a ground and which has front and rear portions opposite to each other in a longitudinal direction.
A front mounting post extends upwardly from the front portion.
A hand operated member is mounted on and is pivotable relative to an upper segment of the front mounting post, and includes handle and lever portions.
The lever portion extends downwardly and terminates at a first distal end.
A first coupler member includes a first front coupling end which is connected to the first distal end, and a first intermediate portion which extends rearwardly from the first front coupling end and which terminates at a first rear coupling end.
A first crank member includes a first crankpin which is pivoted to the first rear coupling end, a first crank arm which is connected to the first crankpin, and a first crankshaft which is pivoted to the first crank arm opposite to the first crankpin.
A lever member includes a proximate end which is pivotally mounted relative to an intermediate segment of the front mounting post, and a middle portion which extends from the proximate end and terminating at a second distal end.
A linking bar has right and left linking ends which are respectively connected to the first distal end of the lever portion and the middle portion of the lever member.
A second coupler member includes a second front coupling end which is connected to the second distal end of the lever member, and a second intermediate portion which extends rearwardly from the second front coupling end and which terminates at a second rear coupling end.
A rear mounting post is disposed on and extends upright from the rear portion.
A second crank member includes a second crankshaft which is mounted on and which is rotatable relative to the rear mounting post, a second crank arm which is connected to and which rotates with the second crankshaft, and a second crankpin which is connected to the second crank arm opposite to the second crankshaft and which extends to face toward the first crankshaft
