Exercise machine with adjustable tension

Abstract

An exercise machine has an exercise machine body, and the exercise machine body is combined with a soft pad, such that a user can put both knees onto the soft pad for abdominal or hip exercises. The exercise machine body has a base, an upper cover, an elastic line, a sliding set, an adjusting device and an adjusting screw.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to an exercise machine with adjustable tension, and more particularly to an exercise machine which can provide different levels of pulling force training for a user.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]As the quality of life improves, people are eating increasingly unhealthy foods, which is leading to increased cholesterol levels, hypertension, heart disease and other cardiovascular diseases. As the pace of life increases, people have less time to devote to sports and fitness, with the result the waistlines increase even as people become more listless. In view of this, given the need to conserve space and provide convenience for the user, exercise equipment that can be easily stored when not in use is desired. An example of such equipment is push / pull exercise machines.[0005]Please refer to FIG. 8. A typical pulling exercise machine comprises two tubes 81 forming a frame 80, a separ...

Benefits of technology

[0009]In order to achieve the above-mentioned objectives an improved exercise machine has an exercise machine body, and the exercise machine body is combined with a soft pad, such that a user can put both knees onto the soft pad for abdominal or hip exercises. The exercise machine body comprises a base, an upper cover, an elastic line, a sliding set, an adjusting device and an adjusting screw. The soft pad has an impact absorbing effect and is capable of being folded to reduce storage space requirements. The base comprises a platform. Two first sliding tracks are formed between two respective pairs of raised first stopping sidewalls, which are respectively disposed on two sides of a top of the platform such that a docking space is forming between the two first sliding tracks. A first bar is pivoted to a rear section within the docking space. Three protruding limiting edges are formed at a front section of each of the two stopping sidewalls in the docking space of the base, and each limiting edge is disposed a predetermined distance from the top of the platform to form an installation gap. A curved first stopping edge is disposed at a central position on a front face of the base, and the first stopping edge on the front face of the base extends upwardly to form a stopping slot. Two extended supporting pedestals are respectively disposed at the front face and the rear face of the base and lift up the base. The upper cover has two pairs of second stopping sidewalls and two seconds sliding tracks corresponding to the first stopping sidewalls and the first sliding tracks of the base. The upper cover is configured to provide a gap between each first sliding track and corresponding second sliding track when the upper cover covers the base. A curved second stopping edge is disposed at a central position on a front face of the upper cover. The elastic line is an elastic woven line or rubber elastic line, and two ends of the elastic line have enlarged portions. The sliding set has a second bar, and the second bar has a jacketed handle at each end and a roller respectively adjacent to each handle. The second bar, the rollers and the handles are separated from each other to en
