Abstract
An exercise machine inclination device for providing variable exercise intensity on an exercise machine by inclining the exercise machine. The exercise machine inclination device generally includes a base adapted for being positioned upon a floor, a support structure adapted for supporting an exercise machine, a hinge pivotally connecting the base and the support structure and an actuator connected between the base and the support structure, wherein the actuator adjusts an angle of the support structure.
Claims43
An inclination device, comprising:
- a base having a first end and a second end opposite of the first end, wherein the base is adapted for being positioned upon a floor;
- a support structure movably connected to the base so that at least one end of the support structure can be lifted and lowered with respect to the base, wherein the support structure includes a first end and a second end opposite of the first end, wherein the support structure is adapted for supporting and removably attaching to an exercise machine, wherein the exercise machine can be removably attached to the support structure;
- and
- an actuator connected between the base and the support structure, wherein the actuator adjusts an angle of the support structure, and wherein the actuator is connected near the second end of the support structure for lifting and lowering the second end of the support structure.
