Other embodiments include chair fixing mechanism (14), (14a) to hold the device from moving, and stepper mechanism (11a), (11b), (22a'), (22b) and varied track direction(12c) for diverse exercise of the user.
Abstract:
An exercise machine for performing triceps press exercises, including a moving user support that supports the user in a seated position. The exercise machine includes a linkage assembly that allows the user support to tilt as the user performs a triceps press exercise. As the user extends his or her arms from the exercise starting position to the exercise ending position, the user support frame— and thus the user's torso— reclines progressively backwards. The user's natural reaction to this reclining sensation is to bring his or her head forward, which encourages the user to plant his or her lower back firmly into a stable position against the back pad and in turn reduces the risk of injury associated with excessively arching of the lower back.
Abstract:
Apparatus for performing an arm extension exercise comprising: a frame (12), a seat (16) having a seating surface (S), an elbow pad (19) having an engaging surface (ES), an input arm assembly (24) interconnected to a resistance mechanism (42) and a manually graspable mechanism (30h), the input arm assembly being adapted to reside in a start motionless position (SMP) that disposes the manually graspable mechanism (30h) in a start exercise position (SEP) that is disposed vertically above UW) the user's elbows (13e), the input arm assembly being pivotable around a linear axis disposed rearwardly of the user's elbow.
Abstract:
Apparatus for performing a pull down exercise comprising: a frame, a seat, an input arm assembly interconnected to a resistance mechanism and a manually graspable mechanism disposed vertically above the user's trunk in a start sitting exercise position, the input arm assembly being pivotably mounted on the frame for back and forth travel along a generally forward to rearward direction and along a generally side to side direction orthogonal to the forward to rearward direction, the input arm assembly being rotatably pivotable around a first linear axis and a second linear axis in the respective directions on exertion by the user of a rearwardly downwardly directed force on the manually graspable mechanism.
Abstract:
An exercise apparatus for performing a back extension exercise comprising: a frame, a seat having a seating surface (PS) and a pelvic stabilization pad (18) having a lower back engagement surface (ES), an input arm assembly (30) interconnected by a first interconnection to a first resistance mechanism, the input arm assembly including a manually graspable mechanism and being arranged on the apparatus such that the input arm assembly is pivotable beginning from a start motionless position along a path of travel toward the pelvic stabilization pad under resistance exerted by one or both of the resistance mechanisms, wherein the first resistance mechanism is adapted to increase resistance as the degree of pivoting of the input arm assembly increases along the path of travel away from the start motionless position rearwardly toward the pelvic stabilization pad.
Abstract:
A user mountable stationary exercise device comprising, a base and a frame pivotally supported by the base such that the frame can pivot relative to the base about a pivot axis. The device also comprises a user actuated pedal arrangement supported by the frame and operatively connected to drive a wheel. In use, a user may mount the frame and apply force to the pedal arrangement to drive the wheel, and/or the frame to cause the frame to pivot relative to the base about the pivot axis.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a distributable electricity generating system having the ability to be physically charged by the user utilizing personal body mechanics using an pedaling input or other mechanical linkage that is engineered to assume adaptable conformations for use either as a fixed electrical power generating station or for use as a portable electrical power generating station capable of easy docking to conventional modes of mechanized transport. Also described are modes of charging, storage, discharging of said system.
Abstract:
A bilateral upper limb exercise device (10) for exercising a user's arms comprising a central mounting structure (12) that is mountable to a fixed surface or structure (15), left and right limb supports (14a,14b) for supporting the forearm and/or hand of a respective arm of the user, and a pair of articulated linkage arms (22a,22b) that are pivotably coupled to opposite sides of the central mounting structure (12) and which are arranged to support a respective limb support (14a,14b) for movement in at least two degrees of freedom in a two-dimensional (2D) movement plane. A mirroring mechanism is also operatively coupled to the articulated linkage arms (22a,22b) such that movement of the opposing limb support relative to a central line of symmetry of the device.
Abstract:
A seated exercise apparatus comprises a frame having a seat attached to the frame. A pair of opposed cranks are rotatably coupled to the frame such that they rotate about a first axis. A medial portion of each of a pair of elongated members are rotatably connected to the frame at a second axis. A first end of each elongated member has a handle and a second end of each elongated member is rotatably connected to a one end of a respective pedal arm. The other end of each pedal arm is in turn rotatably connected to a respective crank. Each pedal arm has a pedal adapted to receive a user's foot. In operation, the apparatus provides the user with coordinated seated exercise of both the arms/hands and legs/feet. The feet move in an up and down motion and the arms move in a coordinated arcuate motion.
