Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An exercise machine comprises a tension generating device, the tension generating device being based on at least one of the following: electronic resistance, pneumatic cylinders, springs, weights, flexing nylon rods, elastics, pneumatics, hydraulics, and friction, 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, 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; a translatable arm mount coupled to the tension generating device; an arm coupled to the translatable arm mount; a cable coupled to the tension generating device via the arm; and a track for the translatable arm mount to slide along one dimension of translation, wherein the track is rotatable horizontally, wherein the track has a first set of teeth placed around a portion of a circumference of a top member of the track, and wherein the track is capable of being in a locked position in an event that the first set of teeth is tightly coupled to a second set of teeth of a device locking member to prevent the arm from pivoting horizontally left or horizontally right. 2. The exercise machine of claim 1 , wherein the arm is capable of being stowed by pivoting the arm vertically and rotating the arm such that the arm is facing a back of the exercise machine.
