The Crossbar Functional Trainer is a functional trainer, the Crossbar Functional Trainer is an exercise machine that uses cables (connected to form two or more circles from the resistance to the protruding ends to be pulled by the user) and a resistance feature, such as a weight stack, to allow a crossbar mounted (to a carriage) to a column at a perpendicular angle, and slidable along the same column by way of a carriage and pin, to allow one or both or more cables protruding from it to be pulled by the user, the pulling of the cables shrinks the circles one, or both, or others, at a time to act with force with the resistance feature to create resistance, such as lifting the weight stack, The crossbar has a slit from the ends, to close to the center, on each side, The bars' main feature is that the protruding cables are separated into half the bar each and mirror each other in use, each cable protruding is affixed with a stopper and then a carabiner, the stopper and carabiner are movable along the bar from close to the center to the end by means of a sliding mounted plate over the slit that has a hole for the cable, and rollers on the hole to protect the cable, The sliding mounted plates are connected to the bar also by a pin and hole each and a series of holes along the top or bottom of the bar, which align for use at many points, The mounted carriage on the column which has a shape to surround or connect to the column (around the column) also has rollers to slide along the column and holes on the column and a hole and pin on the bar connected to the carriage to align to mount the column at many points.
A resistance training machine comprising, a carriage coupled to a column (post, or linear guide), and an elongated flexible element (cables) connected to form two or more circles from the resistance to the protruding ends to be pulled by the user, the pulling of the cables shrinks the circles one, or both, at a time to act with force with the resistance feature to create resistance, such as lifting the weight stack, stoppers, and carabiners attached to the ends of each cable (flexible element) that can attach to handles.
A resistance training machine comprising, a resistance element, a column with pin holes and j hook holes arranged to coexist, a crossbar perpendicular to the column with a slit from close to the center of the crossbar to close to the end of each half of the crossbar and a slidable plate on each side with a hole so the slit is aligned and provides an exit for the elongated flexible elements and a hole on the top of the slidable plate for a pin to hold each plate in place along the half of the crossbar connected to the holes on the top of the crossbar, a pin and pinhole in the front center of the bar for the bar to affix to the column sometimes to use the slidable plates and their handles, a sequence of pulleys and pulley combinations designed to adjust the number of circles of cables that shrink and to adjust the percentage of resistance the circles are encountering and to also, adjust the length the circle can shrink, the ends of the cable circles traveling inside the crossbar may exit through the slits or a hole with rollers in the center of the crossbar, a number of hooks on top or/and bottom of the crossbar to connect to straps or resistance tubes/bands.
A resistance training machine comprising, the crossbar has a slit from the ends to close to the center, the crossbars' main feature is that the protruding cables are separated into half the crossbar each and mirror each other in use, each cable protruding from the slit is affixed with a stopper and then a carabiner, the stopper and carabiner are movable along the crossbar from close to the center to the end by means of a sliding mounted plate over the slit that has a hole for the cable and rollers on the hole to protect the cable, the sliding mounted plates are connected to the bar also by a pin and hole each and a series of holes along the top or bottom of the crossbar, which align for use at many points, the mounted carriage on the column which has a shape to surround or connect to the column (around the column) also has rollers to slide along the column and holes on the column and a hole and pin on the crossbar connected to the carriage to align to mount the column at many points.
(canceled)
Several hooks on top or/and bottom of the crossbar to connect to straps or resistance tubes/bands.
