Abstract
A portable exercise device that may be arranged in a number of different orientations and positions on the body of an individual. The portable exercise device includes a resistance assembly that enables a resistance of the portable exercise device to be adjusted.
Claims18
A resistance assembly for a portable exercise device, comprising:
- a tension mechanism adapted to rotate about an axis;
- a gear assembly comprising:
- a plurality of stators;
- a plurality of friction discs between the plurality of stators;
- and
- a brake rotor positioned between the plurality of friction discs;
- a drive sheave rotatably coupled to a shaft, the shaft extending at least partially through a housing of the resistance assembly and mating with the brake rotor;
- and
- a cord housing extending from the housing, the cord housing defining an opening having a plurality of bearings secured therein, wherein a cord associated with the drive sheave extends, at least partially, through the cord housing and the plurality of bearings.
