Mountable arm assembly for fitness equipment
A mountable arm assembly for fitness equipment, comprises two arm members and a connector for pivot connection of the two arm members. The two arm members respectively provide a plurality of assembly portions for length adjustment of the tension arm. The connector is formed with a pivot connection portion and a plurality of eccentric positioning portions. Specifically, an adjustable disposing angle is formed between the two arm members, and the two arm members set the disposing angle through the one the eccentric positioning portions. The arm assembly can be mounted on fitness equipment and can swing back and forth through the pivot connection portion. The users can select one assembly portion on each of the two arm members for required tension arm lengths and add an applied force and a resistance force respectively on the two assembly portions.
DEVICE FOR FACIAL AND NECK MUSCLES STIMULATION
A device configured to exercise facial and neck muscles and related methods are provided. The device operates by applying static and/or dynamic external forces to the muscles of the modiolus area of the face and related ligaments. The device includes a pair of bars that may be connected by a rotatory connection or by an expandable horizontal connection, each having a proximal and distal end. The proximal end of each bar includes a modiolus holder. The modiolus holders are shaped to partially fit within the user's mouth, and when fit to the modiolus area by the separation of the bars, brings the modiolus holders in tight contact with the modiolus area. This movement secures the insertions of the muscles attached at the modiolus, allowing these muscles to be stretched, therefore creating resistance to their contractions.
EXERCISE EQUIPMENT
A leg exercise apparatus installable on an upright. The apparatus includes a fixing system installable on the upright and an arm extending along a first direction and hinged to the fixing system so as to be rotatable relative to a hinge axis. The apparatus further includes a first push roller mounted on one side of the arm, a rod for holding weights, and a support for supporting the rod at a first distance from the arm. The support is mounted on the arm.
Exercise device with vertically adjustable exercise arm
An exercise device includes an elongate support member having opposed ends and being rotatably mounted through either directly toor through an attachment member to a mounting member intermediate the opposed ends of the elongate support member. A horizontally extending axle is rotatably mounted to the elongate support member adjacent one the opposed ends. The horizontally extending axle is connected to a weight support and to an exercise arm. The elongate support member is grippable to permit its rotation about its rotatable mount to change the vertical position of the horizontally extending axle and the weight support and exercise arm connected thereto. An attachment member configured be connected to the mounting member in a desired location also constitutes a part of the invention.
Range of motion limiting device for shuttle carriage
A range of motion limiting device, in one example comprising a first armature configured to engage a carriage moving on at least one rail having a first surface and a second surface transversely offset from the first surface of the rail. Also disclosed is an example utilizing a first bumper adjacent the first longitudinal end of the first armature. The first bumper extending transversely from the first transverse side of the first armature, optionally having a distal end with a non-slip surface engaging the first surface of a rail. Also disclosed is a second bumper longitudinally offset from the first bumper on the first armature, the second bumper extending transversely from the second transverse side of the first armature, also optionally having a distal end with a non-slip surface engaging the second surface of the rail.
Exercise Apparatus with oscillating tilt system
An exercise apparatus with oscillating tilt system includes a main frame for supporting all the components of the apparatus, a tiltable upstanding support is tilted oscillating, a mechanism which enabling a user of the apparatus to move hands and feet up and down harmoniously, and another mechanism to change an orientation of the user in relation to the vertical line oscillating during the exercise, and consequently changing the direction of the forces affecting different muscles of the user of the apparatus.
EXERCISE MACHINE AND METHOD OF USE
An exercise machine system includes a frame having a front bar and a back bar with a cross bar extending therebetween; a weight attachment bar pivotally attached to the cross bar, the weight attachment bar extending to a weight end; one or more handles attached to the weight bar and configured to provide a gripping location to provide upward movement of the weight bar; and a body support positioned above the frame, the body support having one or more pads to allow for supporting a person thereon; the weight attachment bar is positioned under the body support such that a user can pull up on the weight attachment bar from the body support.
Exercise machine enhancements
An exercise machine comprises a tension generating device, a translatable arm mount coupled to the tension generating device, an arm coupled to the translatable arm mount, and a cable coupled to the tension generating device via the arm.
DYNAMIC PROPRIOCEPTION
A wearable device such as a garment is disclosed, having at least one sensor, for sensing a parameter. Electronics are provided for processing the sensed parameter, and for providing feedback. Feedback may be in the form of proprioceptive tactile or audible feedback, or in the form of an adjustment of a performance parameter of the wearable device. In one implementation, the processor is configured to activate an effector to provide feedback to the wearer to make a body position correction to bring the position into alignment with predetermined body position reference data.
Dynamically variable radius cam for weight lifting apparatus
A variable radius cam mechanism is configured for use in a weight lifting apparatus. The variable radius cam mechanism includes a disk configured to rotate about an axis. The cam mechanism includes a cable guide coupled to the disk and defining a path for a cable and a radial tangent distance between the cable and the axis. The cam mechanism further includes one or more actuators coupled to the disk and the cable guide and configured to move the cable guide relative to the disk to change the radial tangent distance during rotation about the axis. The cam mechanism includes a controller programmed to operate the one or more actuators to cause the one or more actuators to move the cable guide to change the radial tangent distance thereby changing a force transferred through the cam mechanism.
