Abstract
A treadmill or other exercise machine having a comb guard is described. For example, an assembly having a comb guard (e.g., an interlaced comb guard) may be disposed at a rear area of a treadmill. The comb guard may deflect objects or debris away from a gap between a moving surface of the treadmill and a rear guard or housing, and thus displace or move objects away from the moving surface of the treadmill.
