Abstract
A weight exercise device for a person exercising the arms when in a standing, croutched, or sitting position comprising upright legs with weights pivotally attached to one end of the legs and on one side of the legs, a pivotal fulcrum-lever assembly attached to the legs at the opposite end and on the opposite side of the legs as the weights, the pivot fulcrum-lever assembly also attached to the weights, and handle means attached to the fulcrum-lever assembly means whereby a person may grasp the handle means attached to the fulcrum-lever assembly and by pulling on same, lift the attached weight means, and thereby exercise the arms, shoulders, and chest, lats and strengthen all upper torso and stomach muscles.
Claims8
A weight exercise device comprising an interacting pair of normally unstable standing, upright, elongated and spaced apart parallel legs having at each of their top ends thereof attached at right angles thereto a horizontal leg extension means;
- a lever assembly having two ends, said lever assembly also defining transverse cross bar means, said cross bar means pivotally attached to said legs, said leg extension means receiving said cross bar means to provide a fulcrum for said lever assembly;
- weight assembly means operably attached to a first end of said lever assembly;
- and operator holding means operably attached to the second end of said lever assembly whereby the unstable standing legs achieve stability when the operator grasps and pulls the operator holding means and thereby causes interaction of the legs, lever assembly, weight assembly means, and operator holding means to perform exercises.
In a weight exercise device for attaching to and use with a weight-lifting bench, the combination comprising a pair of upright, elongated, and spaced apart parallel legs attached to the weight-lifting bench by bracket means, said pair of upright legs further defining angularly extending leg extension means attached at the top thereof;
- a lever assembly having a first and second end, and a transverse cross-bar, said cross-bar pivotally attached to said leg extension means;
- a weight holding assembly having a weight holding means and pivotal means, and interconnecting arm interposed said weight holding means and said pivotal means, said pivotal means operably attached to said pair of upright legs, and said interconnecting arm attached to said lever assembly first end;
- and an operator holding means operably attached to the second end of said lever assembly, said operator holding means defining a handle and chain, said chain attached at one end to said lever assembly second end, and the chain other end attached to said handle whereby the operator may rest on the weight-lifting bench, grasp the operator holding means handle and thereby move the weight holding assembly to perform exercises.
