Abstract
An exercise device for leg exercises comprising a pair of foot pedals connected to actuation rods. While an operator is in a seated position, the operator uses their foot to apply pressure to the foot pedals so that the rod telescopes into and out of a bearing block in response to the applied pressure. A crossbar, elevated off ground by a pair of arched base bars, supports the bearing block for the telescoping oscillations.
Claims24
An exercise device for leg exercises, the device comprising:
- a pair of foot pedals;
- a pair of actuating rods connected to the foot pedals;
- a bearing block having an aperture, the rods telescoping through the aperture at a selectable actuation angle in response to pressure applied to the foot pedals;
- a crossbar extending between arched base bars upon which the bearing block is secured;
- and
- at least one resistive element attached between the rod and bearing block to provide resistance to pressure applied to the foot pedals
An exercise device for operation only from a seated position, the device comprising:
- a pair of base bars constructed like an arch and spaced apart from each other by a crossbar, only each ends of the base bars contact ground;
- at least one bearing block secured to the crossbar by a fastening collar, the bearing block being locatable along the crossbar and rotatable around the crossbar for selecting a desired spacing and actuation angle of the bearing block;
- and
- a banded resistive element connect to the bearing block and a rod for providing resistance to the telescoping of the rod into and out of the aperture of the bearing block in response to a user depressing a foot pedal connected to the rod from a seated position.
A device for exercising the legs while in a seated position comprising, in combination:
- a frame for resting on the floor in front of a person in a seated position;
- a pair of foot pedals;
- a pair of actuating rods with one pedal mounted on the end of each rod;
- a bearing block carried by the frame and supporting each rod for reciprocating movement in a direction lengthwise of the rod when a person in a seated position pushes with their feet against said pedals;
- and
- a resistive element connected between each rod and its bearing block to provide resistance to foot pressure applied to the pedals tending to shift the rod lengthwise against the resistance of the resistive element.
