Claims8
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;
- 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 a plurality of first teeth are placed along an entire circumference of a top member of the arm, wherein in an event that the plurality of first teeth are tightly coupled with a plurality of second teeth of a device locking member, the arm is prevented from moving, 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.
