Benefits of technology

The patent aims to create an exercise equipment that can be quickly and easily reconfigured from one type of exercise equipment to another.

Problems solved by technology

Such complex machines are often expensive.
When resistance is provided purely by mass, for example weight plates the machines are naturally very heavy.
The nature of such machines is they are often specialised and cannot easily perform a wide range of exercises, or be adapted to form a wide range of exercises.
With pneumatic and hydraulic resistance there is the issue of sealing of the resistance components and the need for specialised personal when they fail.
However this has the dis-advantage if not damped of being dangerous when the user is tired and the machine slams back to its rest position under the user's weight.
When damped such damping provides complexity as it is normally hydraulic or gas operated.

Embodiment Construction

[0132]Preferred embodiments will now be described with reference to FIGS. 1 through 32.

[0133]The exercise apparatus 1 is modular and through a single or several common chassis 2 it can form a number of varying exercise machines by changing in or out various input members or arms 3, additional support members 17, and varying the configuration of a gearbox 5 or gearboxes in the apparatus. In some forms there may also additional support members 4. The apparatus 1 is typically mounted or mountable to a base 14 as shown. The base 14 may be in-ground mounted for example when used in a public area, or may be sufficiently robust and heavy to support and balance the apparatus in use, but can be moved about as needed. For example, when in ground the base may be poured in situ with reinforcing and the apparatus bolted to the base 14.

[0134]The apparatus can be configured in a number of different configurations. For example when configured as an overhead press shown in FIGS. 1 through 4 there is...

Abstract

Exercise equipment can be used in a wide range of settings by a wide range of users of varying strengths and abilities to gain strength, fitness and mobility using an internally variable resistance.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to exercise equipment.[0002]In particular, though not solely, the present invention is directed to exercise equipment that can be used in a wide range of settings by a wide range of users of varying strengths and abilities to gain strength, fitness and mobility using an internally variable resistance.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]The human body reacts to exercise. To reach full potential, and to exercise some muscle groups it is often more convenient to exercise with the aid of weights and resistance. Such weights and resistance have increasingly become part of machines that enable a user to easily vary the resistance and allow one machine to provide a number of different exercises.[0004]Such complex machines are often expensive. When resistance is provided purely by mass, for example weight plates the machines are naturally very heavy.[0005]The nature of such machines is they are often specialised and cannot eas...
