Filed:

Jan 12, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/013428

Inventors:

Edward J. Bell - Medford NJ, US

International Classification:

A63B 69/06
A63B 21/00

US Classification:

482 72, 482138

Abstract:

A rowing trainer includes a frame, and a seat affixed to the frame. A sliding rigger, which supports an oar assembly, is movable back and forth along the frame. The oars are indirectly connected to a cord which passes around at least one pulley, and which turns a flywheel. Neither the flywheel nor the seat translates relative to the frame. The only component which translates is the rigger and the associated oar assembly. The device closely simulates the experience of rowing an actual boat or scull.

International Classification:

G03C 1/00
C04B 14/00

US Classification:

4302701, 106400

Abstract:

A light source is configured to emit narrow peaks at discrete spectral bands, especially primary color wavelengths, added to simulate the effect of a broadband light source. A subject is provided with a pigment, examples being certain rare earth lanthanides, with a strong absorption peak at a corresponding narrow spectral band. The pigment has a nominal hue under true broadband light. When illuminated by the narrow band source, the absorption peak eliminates the contribution of one of the primary colors, producing a distinct shift in hue of the pigmented subject. The change in hue cannot be anticipated from the appearance of illuminated subjects that lack the pigment, which remain normal. The narrow absorption peak is not noticeable under unmatched light sources or true broadband light sources, e. g. , sunlight. The hue shift effect is useful for security authentication, informational and decorative applications.

International Classification:

A63B 24/00

US Classification:

482 8, 482 92, 482 93

Abstract:

A weight-lifting exercise machine enables an athlete to lift a mass from an initial resting position. After the athlete releases the mass, the machine cushions the fall of the mass, such that the mass returns to its resting position without assistance from the athlete. The movements of the athlete and the mass can be tracked, preferably by wireless accelerometers attached respectively to the athlete and the mass, and data on such movements can be stored and analyzed. The machine provides a monitor to enable the athlete to track the progress of the exercise, and to determine whether the exercise is being performed correctly.

Appl. No.:

13/707709

Inventors:

Edward J. Bell - Medford NJ, US
Gerard A. Raus - Lansdale PA, US

International Classification:

A63B 22/00

US Classification:

482 72

Abstract:

A rowing sequence trainer includes a frame which holds a contact pad, the frame being mounted pivotably to a base. The base is inserted under a seat of an exercise machine, the seat being slidable along a support. The exercise machine includes at least one resilient cable which is attached to the frame. The athlete using the trainer pushes back along the support, while the frame pivots backwards. At the completion of the backward segment, tension in the cable pulls the athlete back to the starting position, and pivots the frame to its upright position. The exercise is performed without the assistance of hands, and trains the athlete in the proper sequence of initiation of tension in various muscle groups.

US Classification:

362293, 283 85

Abstract:

A light source is configured to emit a narrow peak at a discrete spectral band, especially at a primary color wavelength. The light source can have a plurality of narrow peaks to simulate the effect of a broadband light source. A subject is provided with a pigment, such as certain rare earth lanthanides, with a strong absorption peak at a corresponding narrow spectral band. The pigment has a nominal color when illuminated by a true broadband light (e.g., sunlight) that does not have a narrow peak at the discrete spectral band, and has a different color when illuminated by the light source that has a narrow peak. This color shift can be used for security authentication, information and decorative applications.

Filed:

Appl. No.:

9/084851

Inventors:

Edward Joseph Bell - Quakertown PA

International Classification:

B63H 1604

US Classification:

440101

Abstract:

An oar handle is used in sweep rowing. Sweep rowing is when a single oar is pulled by both hands of a single rower. The oar handle has a support which at one end can be secured to the end of the shaft of a sweep rowing oar. A handle bar having a pair of hand grips at its opposite ends is mounted at its center to the opposite end of the support. The handle bar is mounted to the support so that it is free to rotate on the support about a pivot point in the center of the handle bar. The pivot point is aligned with the central axis of the support. When the oar handle is mounted on the shaft of an oar with its central axis in alignment with the central axis of the oar, the pivot point is likewise aligned with the central axis of the oar. In use, a rower grips each one of the hand grips with one of his hands. As the rower pulls the oar, the handle bar rotates relative to the central axis of the oar, allowing the rower to pull equally with both of his arms and his body.
