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.
Claims10
A treadmill comprising:
- a chassis;
- a track assembly at least partially encircling the chassis;
- a tensioner configured to selectively adjust a tension of the track assembly;
- and
- wherein the tensioner is configured to create slack in the track assembly to permit displacement of the track assembly away from the chassis to provide access to one or more internal components disposed within the chassis.
2 more elements
A method comprising:
- adjusting, using a tensioner of a treadmill, a tension of a track assembly that at least partially encircles a chassis of the treadmill to create slack in the track assembly;
- displacing the track assembly away from the chassis to define an opening between a portion of the track assembly and a portion of the chassis;
- and
- accessing one or more internal components disposed within the chassis through the opening.
