Abstract
A carriage for an exercise machine comprises longitudinal and lateral handles defining the outer periphery of the carriage. First, second, and third support pads are positioned within this outer perimeter and coupled to a rectangular carriage frame. The carriage frame is constructed from interconnected vertical and horizontal segments arranged in a grid pattern. This grid structure provides enhanced rigidity and support to the carriage assembly. The integrated handle system and support pad arrangement create a versatile user interface that accommodates a wide range of exercise positions and movements.
Claims20
An exercise machine, comprising:
- a frame having a first end, a second end, and a longitudinal axis, the frame including first and second guide rails extending substantially between the first end and the second end;
- a carriage movably mounted on the first and second guide rails for reciprocating movement along the longitudinal axis;
- first, second, and third support plates mounted on the frame, wherein the first support plate is positioned at the first end, the second support plate is positioned at an intermediate position between the first end and the second end, and the third support plate is positioned proximate the second end;
- first and second connecting rods extending between and interconnecting the first, second, and third support plates;
- and
- a triangular gusset member coupled to the frame, the triangular gusset member extending diagonally between intersecting frame components comprising at least the second support plate.
A carriage for an exercise machine, comprising:
- first and second longitudinal handles and first and second lateral handles defining an outer periphery;
- first, second, and third support pads positioned within the outer periphery;
- and
- a carriage frame coupled to the first, second, and third support pads, the carriage frame having a rectangular configuration defined by interconnected vertical and horizontal segments arranged in a grid pattern.
An exercise machine, comprising:
- a frame having a first end, a second end, and a longitudinal axis;
- a carriage movably mounted on the frame for reciprocating movement along the longitudinal axis;
- first, second, and third support plates mounted on the frame;
- first and second outermost handles extending from the first and third support plates, respectively;
- first and second upper peripheral handles extending upwardly from the frame and curving inwardly to define boundaries above first and second fixed support pads, respectively;
- first, second, third, and fourth ergonomic handles rising perpendicularly from the frame, each ergonomic handle having an angled upper portion;
- and first and second inner handles extending perpendicularly between the first and second ergonomic handles and the third and fourth ergonomic handles, respectively.
