Multi-Axis Adjustable Exercise Machine

摘要

A multi-axis adjustable exercise machine which is pivotable about both a pitch axis and a roll axis with respect to a base for allowing an exerciser to perform a wide range of exercises on a pitched or rolled exercise machine. The multi-axis adjustable exercise machine generally includes an exercise machine which is adjustable with respect to a base. The exercise machine may be pivoted about a roll axis to adjust the roll angle of the exercise machine or may be pivoted about a pitch axis to adjust the pitch angle of the exercise machine. One or more actuators may be connected between the base and the exercise machine to effectuate the pivoting of the exercise machine about either or both axes with respect to the base.

主权项

1. A multi-axis adjustable exercise machine, comprising:
a base; an exercise machine movably connected to the base, wherein the exercise machine comprises a track, a carriage slidably connected to the track, a biasing device connected to the carriage adapted to apply a resistive force to the carriage, a first platform near a first end of the exercise machine and a second platform near a second end of the exercise machine, wherein the carriage includes an upper surface; a first actuator connected between the base and the exercise machine; and a second actuator connected between the base and the exercise machine; wherein the first actuator and the second actuator are operable to move the exercise machine about a first axis and a second axis with respect to the base; wherein the first actuator and the second actuator are motorized; wherein the first actuator and the second actuator operate to move the exercise machine about the first axis and the second axis; wherein the first axis is comprised of a pitch axis of the exercise machine and wherein the second axis is comprised of a roll axis of the exercise machine; wherein an increase or decrease of an angle of the exercise machine about the first axis correspondingly increases or decreases a total resistance force encountered by an exerciser, wherein the total resistance force is comprised of the resistive force applied to the carriage by the biasing device and a portion of a body weight of the exerciser.
