摘要： The invention is an exercise device which creates a controlled and infinitely variable resistance profile using a pair of rods that are wrapped about a common axis with a varying pitch. A slide unit is attached to the rods with rollers. When the slide unit is moved in a linear motion, the movement of the rollers on the rods causes the rod, and a shaft on which they are mounted to rotate. In one embodiment, the rotation of the shaft is used to move one or more units of a set of stacked weights. In a second embodiment, a rotation motion of the shaft on which the rods are mounted, causes a linear motion to the slide unit which is attached to a set of stacked weighs.

摘要： The invention is a portable exercise device which creates a controlled and infinitely variable resistance profile. The exercise device, creates this infinitely variable resistance using springs or elastic bands to create the input resistance versus the use of a weight stack as normally used in most exercise equipment. The advantage of this device over conventional exercise devices is that usage of this resistance medium creates a portable exercise device that can create an infinitely variable resistance profile. The exercise devise may be used while traveling and/or in the home. The ease with which the input resistance elements, such as elastic bands or springs, may be changed makes this device much more versatile for exercising a wider range of muscle groups while using one portable machine.
