AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention has two main benefits: it makes it safer for trainees to exercise because the bar or handles are usually only a few pounds in weight, and it allows the operator to customize training for each trainee to make sure they are getting the most out of their training.

Problems solved by technology

They are also very smooth and hard to provide a smooth surface for the linear bearings to roll on.

Embodiment Construction

[0042]Referring now to FIGS. 1-6B, there is shown a weight resistance apparatus 1 of the invention. The weight resistance apparatus 1 includes an upright tower 10, also referred to herein a pedestal 10, a first member 20 and a second member 30. The first member 20 is substantially perpendicular to the second member 30 and intersects the second member 30 at a relative midpoint of the second member 30, such that the combined first member 20 and second member 30 are configured to form a generally T-shape structure.

[0043]A first end 20′ of the first member 20 is positioned proximate to a base 11 of the tower 10. A second end 20″ of the first member 20 distal to the tower 10 intersects the second member 30 at a relative midpoint region of the second member 30.

[0044]The tower 10 houses a drive belt 12 that is secured at a first end to a lower gear drive 13 and at a second end to an upper gear drive 14. A tensioner 15 mounted on the drive belt 12 at a relative midpoint of the drive belt 12...

Abstract

A weight resistance apparatus including a threaded lead screw, a drive belt mechanically coupled with the lead screw, a lead screw that traverses a linear actuator carriage; at least one cable, and a cross bar member having at least one cavity and at least one aperture, whereby one end of the lead screw is secured within a first cavity and wherein the at least one cable extends through the at least one aperture.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit pending U.S. provisional application No. 62 / 278,877 filed on Jan. 14, 2016, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present disclosure relates generally to exercise machines. More particularly, the invention is directed to an improved weight resistance apparatus for assisting a trainer to generate a maximum positive force from a user.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]Enhancing performance via strength and conditioning training of muscles is the goal of many professional athletes and trainers as well as weekend warriors. It is known that there are three distinct phases in the movement of muscles and tendons, an eccentric contraction (extending the muscle), an isometric contraction (no movement), and a concentric contraction (contracting the muscle).[0006]An eccentric contraction is the motio...
