Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
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.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An exercise machine, comprising: a tension generating device; a translatable arm mount coupled to the tension generating device; an arm coupled to the translatable arm mount, wherein the translatable arm mount permits the arm to pivot vertically at least in part using trapezoidally-shaped teeth, wherein the arm is selectively locked from pivoting vertically when one tooth of the trapezoidally-shaped teeth is registered with a complementary mating space of an elongated locking member using an arm-based lever and a compressed spring coupled to the elongated locking member, and wherein when the arm is selectively locked from pivoting vertically, the one tooth, the elongated locking member, the compressed spring, and the arm-based lever are substantially coaxially aligned along a longitudinal direction of the arm; and a cable coupled to the tension generating device via the arm. 2. The exercise machine of claim 1 , wherein the tension generating device is based on at least one of the following: electronic resistance, pneumatic cylinders, springs, weights, flexing nylon rods, elastics, pneumatics, hydraulics, and friction. 3. The exercise machine of claim 1 , wherein the translatable arm mount is selectively locked from translation along a track of the exercise machine, and the selective locking from translation is based at least in part on a pin. 4. The exercise machine of claim 1 , further comprising a track for the translatable arm mount to slide along one dimension of translation. 5. The exercise machine of claim 4 , wherein the arm is rotatable horizontally. 6. The exercise machine of claim 5 , wherein the arm is capable of being stowed by pivoting the arm vertically and rotating the arm in a compact manner such that the arm is facing a back of the exercise machine.
