Benefits of technology

[0008] It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide a bench press apparatus with a safety device, in which the exerciser can change a weight load exerted by a barbell by himself without any help by the assistant.
[0009] Consistent with the foregoing objects, and in accordance with the invention as embodied broadly described herein, a bench press apparatus is provided with a barbel...

Problems solved by technology

In the prior art bench press apparatus, the exerciser has been often injured by unexpected falling of the barbell onto his chin or chest due to his muscle fatigue after the repeated raising and lowering of the barbell for a long time.
However, although the prior art bench press apparatuses described above may be helpful in preventing the accidents, it provides th...

Embodiment Construction

[0014] The preferred embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0015] There is shown in FIG. 1 a perspective view of the inventive bench press apparatus designated with a reference numeral 10. The bench press apparatus includes a base 12 and a frame 11. The base 12 supports upright supports and horizontally extending supports to which various components for the bench press apparatus 10, e.g., a bench 13 are connected. The frame 11 has a sheave 42 rotatably mounted on a frontal upper portion thereof, and a pair of sheaves 43 rotatably mounted on rear upper portions vertically separated from each other.

[0016] A pair of lug supports 14, 15 is provided in the bench press apparatus 10, which support a barbell 16 having a bar and weights 17, 18 retained around ends of the bar. The barbell 16 is suspended by one end of a cable 30 whose other end is connected to a counterweight 50.

[0017] In an exercise using the bench press apparatus, the exerciser firs...

Abstract

A bench press apparatus is provided with a barbell having weights, a counterweight, a cable whose one end is connected to the barbell with the other end connected to the counterweight, the cable movably supported by a frame, a barbell stopper for stopping a downward movement of the barbell, and a weight load reduction unit for reducing a weight load applied to an exerciser by the weights in order for the exerciser to exercise with a reduced weight load.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION [0001] This application claims priority benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 20-2004-0014502 filed May 25, 2004, the technical disclosure of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference. FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates to a bench press apparatus and, more particularly, to a bench press apparatus having a weight change means which allows the exerciser to achieve optimum weight training benefits without other person's help and a safety means for preventing an accidental falling of a barbell. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] A bench press apparatus is an athletic equipment in which the exerciser lies on his back on a bench, holds a barbell resting on a barbell support with a proper separation between his arms and repeatedly raises and lowers a barbell over his chest in order to strengthen the muscles of his chest or arms. In the prior art bench press apparatus, the exerciser has been often injured by unexpecte...
