International Classification:

A63B 2200

US Classification:

482 51, 482 54

Abstract:

An exercise treadmill is disclosed which includes various features to enhance user operation and to reduce maintenance costs. These features include handlebars with an upwardly curved center section and outwardly flared side portions along with pivoting rear legs for the treadmill frame. The control panel features include snap-in user trays and an overlay covering the numerical key pad along with an auxiliary control panel having a subset of user controls that are larger and more easy to use than the same controls on the main control panel. Maintenance enhancing features include the provision for access panels in the treadmill housing and a belt lubrication system that uses a priming pulse to clear the wax spraying nozzle along with using treadmill operating criteria for scheduling and operating the lubrication system. For injection molded parts such as the control panel, structural strength is enhanced by utilizing gas-assist injection molding to form structural ribs. Another feature includes pre-glazing the treadmill belt.

Inventors:

Paul D. Osenkarski - Orchard Park NY

Assignee:

Graphic Controls Corporation - Buffalo NY

International Classification:

A61B 504

US Classification:

128639

Abstract:

A body electrode including a visual indicator to ensure optimal parallel positioning and electrical current distribution between the electrode and the body. The indicator comprises a flap imprinted with alternating areas of green and red indicia, and an exterior sheet overlying the flap and defining three windows. The flap and the exterior sheet are attached at longitudinally spaced locations to a stretchable, insulating cover sheet. Stretching the electrode to a predetermined optimal degree of tension aligns green indicia with the windows, and presence of red indicia in the windows indicates either excessive or insufficient applied tension.
