Hydraulic exercising machines

摘要

An exercising machine incorporates one or a pair of hydraulic rams to be actuated by a user. The resistance to effort within the hydraulic circuit can be increased by operating a pump so that hydraulic fluid enters a pressure accumulator to compress gas therein. A pressure gauge indicates the pressure level set and the circuits for the two rams can be set individually, selectively bleeding off hydraulic fluid to a reservoir by operation of valves. Consequently the exercising machine can be set to a number of required operating levels without resorting to the use of weights as with conventional exercising machines.
