Adjustable cable systems device

Abstract

An adjustable cable system enables an exerciser to selectably choose handle positioning for overhead handle engagement. An adjustable framework generally stands upwardly, but generally not vertically, away from a base and seat that supports an exerciser. The framework extends out partially over the exerciser and has generally two angled supports which angle toward each other. Selectable handle systems are selectably engageable and lockable along the length of each angled upright or portion thereof enabling positioning of the handles for easy engagement by the exerciser. By providing the adjustable cable system, the handles are more readily and conveniently available to the exerciser and may enable greater focus, attention, and / or development of exercise on certain muscles or muscle groups.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0012] The present cable systems device allows easier access to handles used to exercise against an adjustable weight load. By providing a support structure that is angled forward and by allowing the handles to selectably and adjustably slide along a length of the support structure, an exerciser can position the handles so that they are conveniently disposed for grasping and situated so that resulting exercise focuses on desired muscle groups.

[0016] It is an object of the present invention to provide more convenient access to handles for weight lifting or the like.

[0017] It is yet another object of the present invention to provide more convenient access to adjustable weightlifting handles in a unique cable system for weightlifting.

[0018] It is yet another object of the present invention to provide more convenient access to a weightlifting cable system that is convenient to use and easily understood without the need for complicated instructions.

[0019] It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a support structure system for weightlifting handles that is easy to manufacture.

Problems solved by technology

Such vertical disposition of handles or other devices that allow engagement of the weights by the exerciser may be inconveniently positioned for certain activities.

In such circumstances, a vertically disposed exercise system may present a challenge to individuals who choose to use such a machine.

As a result, the handles or other devices for the weights may be inconveniently located and require inconvenient grasping and engagement techniques by the exerciser.
