<p>PCT No. PCT/GB80/00097 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 4, 1981 Sec. 102(e) Date Jan. 27, 1981 PCT Filed Jun. 4, 1980 PCT Pub. No. WO80/02647 PCT Pub. Date Dec. 11, 1980.Exercising equipment of the rowing machine type having a frame, a footrest, a sliding seat, and a pivoted T handle. Work done by the user in pulling the handle backwards is dissipated by a flat strap, attached at one end to the handle and running back and forth over cylindrical guides to a spring loaded drum which maintains tension in the strap. The frame comprises front and rear portions which are connected by a hinged joint having a horizontal axis coincident with the pivot axis of the T handle. As a result, the frame is collapsible from an extended position in which the frame portions are end to end in alignment to a storage position in which they partially overlap. A hook at the top of the handle can be engaged under the front edge of the seat so as to hold the parts firmly in their folded position.</p> |
