Strapping tool with energy-release feature

The present disclosure provides a strapping tool with a scaling assembly including a die assembly and a camshaft. The camshaft includes a cam that engages a cam follower of the die assembly. The cam is shaped so rotation of the camshaft during a scaling cycle causes the cam to force the die assembly to pivot from a home position to a sealing position to form interlocking cuts in overlapping strap portions. Continued rotation of the cam results in the die assembly pivoting back to its home position during an energy-release phase and a return phase of the sealing cycle. During the energy-release phase. the shape of the cam enables the die assembly to pivot a relatively small amount as potential energy is released. During the return phase after this energy is released. the shape of the cam enables the die assembly to pivot a relatively large amount.

Isokinetic control module and method for strength training with user-generated resistance and graphical force display

An isokinetic control module and method for incorporation on both new and existing exercise equipment. The control module replaces standard friction and hydraulic resistance components offering constant speed of the moveable elements of the machine rather than a selected resistance or weight. The constant user-generated resistance prevents injury and enhances strength training of the targeted muscle groups by maintaining constant strain on those muscles throughout the exercise. This method and device incorporates both a PCFC valve and a check valve device, removing all resistance the moment the user stops applying force to the machine. This enhances safety and facilitates the rapid return of the lifting element to its home position between repetitions. An optional graphical display is also disclosed.
