Abstract
An exercise device where force is applied by computer-controlled actuators. The programmable nature of the force application allows the device to simulate weight-training devices and other useful exercise devices.
Claims20
An exercise device allowing a user to perform a variety of exercises, comprising:
- (a) a right/column;
- (b) a left/column;
- (c) a right/lower link connected to said right/column by a right/lower universal joint;
- (d) a left/lower link connected to said left/column by a left/lower universal joint;
- (e) a right/upper link connected to said right/lower link by a right/powered pivot joint;
- (f) a left/upper link connected to said left/lower link by a left/powered pivot joint;
- (g) a bar, having a left end and a right end;
- (h) said right end of said bar being connected to said right/upper link by a right/upper universal joint;
- (i) said left end of said bar being connected to said left/upper link by a left/upper universal joint;
- and
- (j) a control system configured to selectively vary a first torque applied to said right/powered pivot joint and a second torque applied to said left/powered pivot joint.
