Linear Powered Input Device
20180010673 · 2018-01-11 · ·

A linear powered input device that utilizes linear input from a user and converts the linear input rotational energy to perform work. The linear input is generated by lever arms having a slotted attachment at a pivot point that allows a free end of the lever arms to move linearly rather than in an arcuate path. The lever arms are connected to a power transmission mechanism that wraps around one or more drive wheels having one-way bearings mounted on one or more output shafts. The output shafts can be connected to any type of auxiliary device to perform the desired work. Output wheels may be mounted on the output shafts and operatively connected by a transmission link that allows linear motion of any lever arm in any allowable direction to cause the output shaft to rotate in the same rotational direction so as to receive continuous input.

Strength training and exercise platform

An exercise device includes a base defining an inner volume and a top supported by the base, the top defining an aperture. The exercise device further includes a force sensor configured to measure force on the top and a motor disposed within the base and below the top, the motor including a cable extendable through the aperture. The exercise deice further includes a controller communicatively coupled to each of the force sensor and the motor. The controller is adapted to actuate the motor in response to forces applied to the top as measured by the force sensor. The controller may also actuate the motor in response to one or more additional parameters related to the speed or force with which the cable is manipulated (e.g., pulled by a user).

Mountable Arm Assembly for Fitness Equipment
20230081926 · 2023-03-16 ·

The present invention provides a mountable arm assembly for fitness equipment, comprising 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 at least one of the two arm members sets the disposing angle through at least one eccentric positioning portion. 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. The invention effectively solves the problem that the existing fitness apparatuses do not offer adjustment of the tension arm length or the disposing angle.
