Abstract
A plurality of belt/pullet sets. Each belt/pulley set has a weight set. Each weight set is based on a formula of (2)n-power(X) where X is a basic weight and n is integral number for selecting a weight by a user. Each weight uses a different n-power. A carrier plate is utilized for bearing a weight set during a movement of an exercise. A clamping mechanism is utilized to couple each belt/pulley set to the carrier plate. In addition, the weight system includes an exercise device for a user to exercise, such as a bar or handle. A cable is coupled to the carrier plate, weight set, and the exercise device. In another embodiment, the formula may be utilized in a variable distance system or robotic arm where a plurality of cylinders moves an object, such as a travel arm.
Claims3
A multi-cylinder system for moving a travel arm, the multi-cylinder system comprising:
- a plurality of substantially vertically aligned cylinders;
- a horizontal track system for moving the plurality of vertically aligned cylinders, the horizontal track system supporting the plurality of vertically aligned cylinders;
- wherein each cylinder of the plurality of cylinders provides a different incremental distance for moving the travel arm, thereby providing an infinitely variable distance for moving the travel arm within a defined range;
- wherein the plurality of substantially vertically aligned cylinders include:
- a first cylinder having a drive stroke distance of one half of a specified unitary length;
- a second cylinder having a drive stroke distance of one unitary length;
- a third cylinder having a drive stroke distance of two unitary lengths;
- a fourth cylinder having a drive stroke distance of four unitary lengths;
- and
- a fifth cylinder having a drive stroke distance of eight unitary lengths.
A multi-cylinder system for moving a travel arm, the multi-cylinder system comprising:
- a plurality of substantially vertically aligned cylinders;
- a horizontal track system for moving the plurality of vertically aligned cylinders, the horizontal track system supporting the plurality of vertically aligned cylinders;
- wherein each cylinder of the plurality of cylinders provides a different incremental distance for moving the travel arm, thereby providing an infinitely variable distance for moving the travel arm within a defined range;
- wherein the plurality of cylinders include five cylinders providing a ratio defined by the formula:
- travel distance=½(x)+20(x)+21(x)+22(x)+23(x)
- where x is a unitary length and the travel distance is the desired range the travel arm may move.
