Body building system with shrouded weight stack

Abstract

A plurality of similarly configured weight plates each with a planar face having a horizontal coupling aperture and a numerical value form a weight stack. A front cover, with a generally rectangular cutout in a central section exposing all of the numerical values and coupling apertures, and a rear cover form a cover assembly.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a shrouded weight stack for a body building system with the capability of selectively varying the weight to be lifted by a user in a safe, convenient and economical manner.[0003]2. Description of the Prior Art[0004]The use of exercise systems of known designs and configurations is known in the prior art. More specifically, exercise systems of known designs and configurations previously devised and utilized for the purpose of varying resistance for exercise through known methods and apparatuses are known to consist basically of familiar, expected, and obvious structural configurations, notwithstanding the myriad of designs encompassed by the crowded prior art which has been developed for the fulfillment of countless objectives and requirements.[0005]By way of example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,011,139 issued Apr. 30, 1991 to Towley relates to an Assisted Dip / Chin Exercise Device and U.S. Pat. No. 4...

Benefits of technology

[0012]Provided next is a pair of vertically disposed, laterally spaced guide rods. The guide rods are parallel with respect to each other. The guide rods have upper ends. The guide rods have lower ends. The guide rods slidably receive the guide apertures of the weight plates. In this manner reciprocal movement along the guide rods is facilitated.

[0021]It is another object of the present invention to provide a new and improved body building system with a shrouded weight stack which may be easily and efficiently manufactured and marketed.

[0022]It is further object of the present invention to provide a new and improved body building system with a shrouded weight stack which is of durable and reliable constructions.

[0023]An even further object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved body building system with a shrouded weight stack which is susceptible of a low cost of manufacture with regard to both materials and labor, and which accordingly is then susceptible of low prices of sale to the consuming public, thereby making such body building system with a shrouded weight stack economically available to the buying public.

[0024]Even still another object of the present invention is to provide a shrouded weight stack for a body building system with the capability of selectively varying the weight to be lifted by a user in a safe, convenient and economical manner.

Problems solved by technology

While these devices fulfill their respective, particular objectives and requirements, the aforementioned patents do not describe a shrouded weight stack for a body building system with the capability of selectively varying the weight to be lifted by a user in a safe, convenient and economical manner.
