AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent is about a new invention that allows for the conversion of furniture, such as beds and tables, into physical exercise equipment, like a treadmill or stationary bicycle. This is useful for consumers who have limited space or don't have a dedicated space for physical exercise equipment. By adding these conversions to articles of furniture, they can be easily accessed and used frequently, improving physical shape and overall well-being. The patent also describes the advantages of providing a more convenient and flexible option for consumers who want to exercise but don't have the space or time to do so.

Problems solved by technology

There are on the market several types of physical exercise equipment, but due to their considerable large size, not many consumers opt to purchase that kind of equipment because they don't have a dedicated space to place the equipment in their houses or apartments.

Unfortunately not all the consumers have in their house or apartment a dedicated space like an extra room or a large entertainment area to place physical exercise equipment.
