Abstract
A treadmill and corresponding systems and methods are provided. In one example, the treadmill may include a chassis, a slat assembly configured to mount onto the chassis and rotate about the chassis during operation of the treadmill. The treadmill may further include components such as a brake release assembly, aperture (e.g., sight window), tensioner, and variable-speed mechanism that allow for safe and simple operation and/or maintenance of the treadmill. Additional devices, systems, and methods are also provided.
Claims20
A treadmill comprising:
- a chassis;
- a logic device;
- a leg assembly movably secured to the chassis;
- a variable-speed mechanism configured to selectively move the leg assembly in a first direction or a second direction to selectively increase or decrease, respectively, an incline of the chassis, wherein the mechanism is configured to move the leg assembly relative to the chassis to adjust the incline of the chassis at a particular speed.
1 more element
A method comprising:
- receiving a command to adjust an incline of a treadmill;
- adjusting the incline of the treadmill based on the command, wherein adjusting the incline comprises:
- selectively moving, using a variable-speed mechanism of the treadmill, a leg assembly movably secured to a chassis of the treadmill in a first direction to selectively increase the incline of the chassis;
- and/or
- selectively moving, using the variable-speed mechanism of the treadmill, the leg assembly in a second direction to selectively decrease the incline of the chassis;
- and
- wherein the mechanism is configured to move the leg assembly relative to the chassis to adjust the incline of the chassis at a particular speed.
