摘要 |
The invention relates to a resistance mechanism, especially for exercise devices. The resistance mechanism comprises operating means, eg a pull rope or pedals (22, 32 fig 2-4), 3 by which the user loads the resistance mechanism; a part 10 rotating with the movement created by the operating means; and a counterpart 11 positioned at a distance from the rotating part 10, one of said parts being provided with magnets to create eddy currents resisting the movement of the operating means. To achieve a mechanism suitable for exercise devices of different types, the counterpart 11 comprises an element acting on the rotating part 10, said element being arranged to be rotated at a speed independent of the speed of rotation of the rotating part 10 produced by the operating means 3. Counterpart 11 may be rotated by motor 12. <IMAGE>
