摘要

An adjustable band peg assembly is for exercise equipment in an exercise zone where a user performs exercises.

主权项

1. An adjustable band peg assembly for exercise equipment located in an exercise zone where a user performs exercises, the assembly comprising: a housing with an opening; a rotatably movable band peg that is connected to the housing so as to be selectively movable between an active position wherein the band peg extends into the exercise zone and an inactive position wherein the band peg is retracted away from the exercise zone; and a ridge extending into the opening between the active and inactive portions, wherein the ridge blocks movement of the band peg from one of the active position and the inactive position to the other of the active position and the inactive position, wherein the band peg is biased into the active and inactive positions, wherein pivoting movement of the band peg against the bias allows the rotational movement from the active position to the inactive position or from the inactive position to the active position, wherein the opening has an active portion through which the band peg extends when the band peg is in the active position and an inactive portion through which the band peg extends when the band peg is in the inactive position, wherein the ridge comprises a camming surface that cams the band peg against the bias when the band peg is rotated from one of the active position and inactive position to the other of the active position and inactive position, and wherein pivoting movement of the band peg against the bias allows rotating movement of the band peg past the ridge from the active portion of the opening to the inactive portion of the opening or from the inactive portion of the opening to the active portion of the opening.
