Multi function exercise machine

An exercise machine comprising:

• a. a vertically elongated open box-like structure having a generally rectangular transverse cross-sectional shape and of sufficient height to permit an average individual to stand upright within the interior space of said structure, said structure having a horizontally disposed rectangular roof frame, a plurality of vertically disposed columnar members, one each attached to and extending downwards from each corner of said roof frame, said columnar members constituting right and left front vertical frame members and right and left rear vertical frame members, each of said vertical frame members having a plurality of through-holes extending through said frame member disposed at regular intervals, and two intermediate vertical columnar members, one each rearward of and parallel to aid right and left front vertical frame members, respectively, each of said intermediate vertical columnar members having a plurality of through-holes extending through said frame member disposed at regular longitudinal intervals,
• b. at least one reaction force producing means fastened to said structure,
• c. at least one pulley mounted near the upper portion of said structure,
• d. a cable extending vertically upwards over and around the sheave of said pulley, said cable being fastened at one end to the free end of said reaction force producing means, said cable being graspable at its other end and pullable against the reaction force of said reaction force producing means, and
• e. a bench section, said bench section comprising
• (i) a generally flat front seat section having a generally square plan view, said front seat section having attached to its underside an elongated, laterally disposed tubular support member, said tubular support member having at opposite lateral ends means for engaging a selected one of said plurality of holes in an intermediate vertical frame member, and supporting said end of tubular member, thereby supporting said front seat section at a desired height, and
• (ii) a generally flat back rest section having a longitudinally elongated, generally rectangular plan view, said back est section being hingedly joined at its front lateral edge to the rear lateral edge of said front seat section, and said back rest section having attached to its underside an elongated, laterally disposed tubular support member having at opposite lateral ends means for engaging a selected one of said plurality of holes in a rear vertical frame member and supporting said back rest section at a desired height, independently of the height of said front seat section.

An exercise machine comprising a vertically elongated open box-like structure having a generally rectangular transverse cross-sectional shape and of sufficient height to permit an average individual to stand upright within the interior space of said frame, said structure comprising;

• a. a framework comprising,
• (i) a horizontally disposed generally rectangular base frame,
• (ii) a pair of vertically disposed columnar front vertical frame members, one each attached to and extending upwards from opposite front corners of said base frame,
• (iii) a pair of vertically disposed columnar rear vertical frame members, one each attached to and extending upwards from opposite rear corners of said base frame,
• (iv) a pair of vertically disposed columnar intermediate vertical frame members, one each attached to and extending upwards from opposite side members of said base frame, at a longitudinal position intermediate said front and rear vertical frame members, and
• (v) a horizontally disposed rectangular roof frame overlying said base frame,
• b. a first weight truck for holding weight members of selectable total weight vertically movable on one of said front vertical frame members,
• c. a first pulley fastened to said frame of said machine near the junction of the front member of said rectangular roof frame with said vertical frame member on which said weight truck is vertically movable,
• d. a cable extending vertically upwards over and around the sheave of said first pulley, said cable being fastened at one end to an upper end of said weight truck, said cable being graspable at its other end and pullable against the resistance force of gravity on said weight truck,
• e. a second pulley fastened to said frame of said machine near the junction of the rear member of said rectangular roof frame with said rear vertical frame member on that side of said frame on which said weight truck is located, said second pulley being so fastened to said frame as to permit said pulley to swivel in a vertical plane about a horizontal axis,
• f. a third pulley fastened to said frame of said machine near the junction of the base frame of said machine with said rear vertical frame member on that side of said frame on which said weight truck is located, said third pulley being so fastened to said base frame as to permit said pulley to swivel about a vertical axis,
• g. an elongated outrigger member extending laterally outwards from the junction of said rear vertical frame member with said base frame, said third pulley being mounted to said outrigger member near the outer lateral end of said outrigger member, and
• h. a leg exercise attachment pivotably fastenable to the front portion of said base frame in a manner permitting pivotable motion in a vertical plane of said leg exercise attachment.
