Abstract
A resistance component configured for imparting a resistive force to a connected exercise component is provided. The device includes a frame pivotally supporting a selection arm which has a weight operatively connected to the selection arm by a pin arm. The weight imparts a force resisting rotation of the selection arm by a flexible member engaged with the exercise component. Adjusting the engagement of one end of the pin arm to an arched engagement path along the selection arm adjusts mechanical advantage and the resistive force.
Claims20
An exercise machine, comprising:
- a frame;
- a support arm connected to the frame;
- a weight supported by the support arm, wherein rotation of the support arm lifts the weight;
- a selection arm connected to the frame;
- a pin arm connecting either the weight or the weight arm to the selection arm, wherein the location on the selection arm where the pin arm is connected is adjustable by an operator, and wherein rotation of the selection arm lifts the pin arm, thereby lifting the support arm and the weight;
- and
- a cable for lifting the selection arm.
