Multi Function Exercise Apparatus With Resistance Mechanism

摘要

An exercise apparatus that provides multiple different exercises for a User, including both resistance movements and isometrics. The User interacts with the apparatus by grasping a bar. A resistance mechanism is symmetrically mounted on a second bar and provides infinitely variable resistance to the User, as well as soundproof operation. There is a vertical column that allows infinite positioning of the bars for different bodily exercises, and a bench for support. The User can change the exercise resistance by verbal commands, or the apparatus can vary the exercise resistance in response to the force applied by the User. The apparatus can be operated at locations where electric service is permanently unavailable, or in zero gravity; and the apparatus can be mounted inside a shallow closet and hidden from view. To verify accuracy, the resistance can be calibrated against a known quantity of weight.

主权项

1. An exercise apparatus, comprising:
a bar of sufficient size to accommodate use by a human user for bodily exercise; a plurality of connecting bars of equal length; a second bar that is attached to said first bar by said connecting bars and is substantially parallel to said first bar; an electric resistance mechanism attached to said second bar; and said electric resistance mechanism positioned substantially symmetrically on said second bar in relation to the ends of said second bar.
