Abstract
An accessory system configured to be coupled to an exercise machine that enables the exercise machine to be used for other exercises. In some embodiments, a rowing accessory system may be operatively coupled to an exercise machine to enable the user to perform rowing exercises and the like. In some embodiments, a support accessory system may be operatively coupled to an exercise machine to enable the user to perform exercises with the exercise machine in an inclined use configuration, a rocking use configuration, or an inclined-and-rocking use configuration.
Claims20
A rowing accessory system configured to be coupled to an exercise machine, the rowing accessory system comprising:
- a front support configured to support a front end of the exercise machine above a support surface;
- a rear support configured to support a rear end of the exercise machine above the support surface, the rear support including a strut having a lower end configured to be positioned proximate the support surface and extending upwardly to an upper end;
- a secondary carriage support including an intermediate support disposed between the front support and the rear support, the secondary carriage support including at least one secondary rail extending between the intermediate support and the rear support and suspended above the support surface;
- a secondary carriage operatively coupled to the at least one secondary rail and configured to be slidably moveable along the at least one secondary rail;
- at least one biasing member operatively coupled between the secondary carriage and the front support, the at least one biasing member configured to provide a biasing force on the secondary carriage that biases the secondary carriage toward the front support;
- a user interface positioned proximate the upper end of the strut;
- and
- a force transfer assembly operatively coupled between the user interface and the secondary carriage such that an exercising force applied to the user interface exerts a pulling force on the secondary carriage that tends to move the secondary carriage along the at least one secondary rail toward the rear support in opposition to the biasing force of the at least one biasing member.

A rowing accessory system configured to be coupled to an exercise machine having a rail and a slidable carriage operatively coupled to the rail, the rowing accessory system comprising:
- a front support configured to support the exercise machine proximate a front end and to support the rail above a support surface;
- a rear support configured to support the exercise machine proximate a rear end and to support the rail above the support surface, the rear support including a strut having a lower end configured to be positioned below the rail and extending upwardly to an upper end configured to be positioned above the rail;
- a secondary carriage support including an intermediate support disposed between the front support and the rear support, the secondary carriage support including at least one secondary rail extending between the intermediate support and the rear support and suspended above the support surface;
- a secondary carriage operatively coupled to the at least one secondary rail and configured to be slidably moveable along the at least one secondary rail and configured to be disposed between the rail of the exercise machine and the support surface;
- at least one biasing member operatively coupled between the secondary carriage and the front support, the at least one biasing member configured to provide a biasing force on the secondary carriage that biases the secondary carriage toward the front support;
- a user interface positioned proximate the upper end of the strut;
- and
- a force transfer assembly operatively coupled between the user interface and the secondary carriage such that an exercising force applied to the user interface exerts a pulling force on the secondary carriage that tends to move the secondary carriage along the at least one secondary rail toward the rear support in opposition to the biasing force of the at least one biasing member.

An exercise machine, comprising:
- a frame that includes a rail and a slidable carriage moveable along the rail;
- a rowing accessory system including:
- a front support supporting a front end of the rail above a support surface;
- a rear support supporting a rear end of the rail above the support surface, the rear support including a strut having a lower end positioned below the rail and extending upwardly to an upper end positioned above the rail;
- a secondary carriage support including an intermediate support disposed between the front support and the rear support, the secondary carriage support including at least one secondary rail extending between the intermediate support and the rear support and suspended above the support surface;
- a secondary carriage operatively coupled to the at least one secondary rail and configured to be slidably moveable along the at least one secondary rail and disposed between the rail of the exercise machine and the support surface;
- at least one biasing member operatively coupled between the secondary carriage and the front support, the at least one biasing member providing a biasing force on the secondary carriage that biases the secondary carriage toward the front support;
- a user interface positioned proximate the upper end of the strut;
- and
- a force transfer assembly operatively coupled between the user interface and the secondary carriage such that an exercising force applied to the user interface exerts a pulling force on the secondary carriage that tends to move the secondary carriage along the at least one secondary rail toward the rear support in opposition to the biasing force of the at least one biasing member.
