Abstract
Disclosed herein are various embodiments of an exercise apparatus. In certain embodiments, an exercise apparatus comprises a frame and a seat assembly, the seat assembly comprising a seat, the seat configured to move between a first position and a second position, wherein the first position accommodates use of the exercise apparatus by a user sitting on the seat and wherein the second position accommodates use of the exercise apparatus by a user sitting in a wheelchair. The seat assembly may be pivotably coupled to the frame. The seat assembly may comprise a stop configured to inhibit movement of the seat, and may further comprise a biasing element that is biased to disengage the stop.
Claims17
A seat assembly for an exercise apparatus, the seat assembly comprising:
- a seat;
- a base coupled to the seat;
- and
- a stop coupled to the base and configured to engage a surface to inhibit lateral movement of the seat when a user sits on the seat to perform an exercise,
- wherein the stop is configured to rise and disengage the surface when no downward force is exerted on the seat in the first position and further configured to lower and engage the surface when a user sits on the seat in the first position, and
- wherein the seat is configured to be connected to a frame of an exercise apparatus and laterally moveable between a first position, which accommodates use of the exercise apparatus by a user sitting on the seat, and a second position, which accommodates use of the exercise apparatus by a user seated in a wheelchair.
A seat assembly for an exercise station, the seat assembly, comprising:
- a seat coupled to a base;
- a seat support member coupled to the base and configured to be pivotably coupled to a frame of the exercise station such that the seat is moveable between a first position that accommodates use of the exercise station by a user sitting on the seat, and a second position that accommodates use of the exercise station by a user seated in a wheelchair;
- and
- a stop coupled to the base and configured to engage a surface of the frame and thereby inhibit lateral movement of the seat when a user sits on the seat in the first position;
- wherein the stop comprises a horizontal portion adapted to engage a first surface of the frame and a vertical portion adapted to engage a second surface of the frame.
A seat assembly for an exercise station, the seat assembly comprising:
- a seat coupled to a base;
- a seat support member coupled to the base and configured to be pivotably coupled to a frame of the exercise station such that the seat is moveable between a first position that accommodates use of the exercise station by a user sitting on the seat and a second position that accommodates use of the exercise station b a user seated in a wheelchair;
- and
- a stop coupled to the base and configured to engage a surface and thereby inhibit lateral movement of the seat when a user sits on the seat in the first position, wherein the stop is configured to inhibit lateral movement of the seat by engaging the surface on which the station is placed.
