Filed:

Feb 20, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/789071

Inventors:

Raymond Giannelli - Franklin MA
Scott Sechrest - Providence RI
Arnold Gillen - Fariboult MN
Gary Lurken - Owatonna MN

Assignee:

Cybex Interational, Inc. - Medway MA

International Classification:

A63B 21062

US Classification:

482 96, 482135, 482101, 482142

Abstract:

An exercise apparatus that includes a frame, a rest member on the frame for receiving a users feet, and a first and a second arm that are pivotably interconnected to each other such that the arms are pivotably movable between a start or rest position and an extended position. The first arm is coupled to the frame. A seat is provided for supporting the user and carried by the second arm. An inclined base support member is disposed under the second arm and is for supporting the second arm during the movement between start and extended positions. A carriage may be associated with the inclined base support member.

US Classification:

482101, 482 96, 482135, 482142

Abstract:

A leg press exercise machine that provides translational and rotational motion of the user support structure by translating the user support structure along two intersecting non-orthogonal linear paths. A front portion of the user support structure travels along an inclining linear path and a rear portion of the user support structure travels along a declining linear path. The translation of the user support structure along the inclining and declining linear paths results in the user support structure exhibiting a rational motion, defining an arcuate path.

International Classification:

E06C 1397

US Classification:

182 1

Abstract:

An adjustable stairway is disclosed that is supported on a retractable, wheel mounted carriage. A locking mechanism selectively maintains the carriage in a lowered, ground engaging position for easy maneuvering of the stairway. The weight of the stairway urges the carriage into a raised position when the locking mechanism is released, allowing the stairway to rest on stationary foot pads.
