Parallel Resistance Rowing Machine

A parallel resistance rowing machine comprising:

• a first resistance assembly;
• a second resistance assembly;
• a first handle;
• a second handle;
• a clutch mechanism;
• a chassis;
• an axle;
• an elongate frame;
• a seat assembly;
• the elongate frame extending between a proximal end and a distal end;
• the chassis being mounted to the proximal end of the elongate frame;
• the axle being mounted to the chassis;
• the first resistance assembly and the second resistance assembly being rotatably mounted to the axle;
• the first resistance assembly and the second resistance assembly being positioned opposite each other across the axle;
• the first handle being torsionally engaged to the first resistance assembly and the second handle being torsionally engaged to the second resistance assembly;
• the clutch mechanism being operably engaged between the first resistance assembly and the second resistance assembly, wherein the first resistance assembly and the second resistance assembly are rotationally coupled by the clutch mechanism;
• the seat assembly being slidably mounted to the elongate frame, wherein the seat assembly traverses the elongate frame between the proximal end and a distal end;
• the clutch mechanism comprising an arbor, a first engagement element, a second engagement element, a first receiver socket, and a second receiver socket;
• the arbor being positioned concentric with the axle, wherein the arbor traverses between the first resistance assembly and the second resistance assembly;
• the first engagement element being slidably mounted at a first terminal end of the arbor;
• the second engagement element being slidably mounted at a second terminal end of the arbor, opposite the first engagement element;
• the first receiver socket being formed into the first resistance assembly;
• the second receiver socket being formed into the second resistance assembly;
• the first engagement element being operably engaged into the first receiver socket and the second engagement element being operably engaged into the second receiver socket, wherein the first resistance assembly and the second resistance assembly are rotationally coupled through the arbor;
• the elongate frame further comprising a first support base, a second support base, and a plurality of casters;
• the first support base being mounted to the proximal end of the elongate frame, opposite to the chassis across the elongate frame;
• the second support base being mounted to the distal end of the elongate frame;
• and
• the plurality of casters being distributed along the first support base, opposite the elongate frame across the first support base.
