Abstract
An exercise mechanism includes a seat cushion secured on a base which includes two posts secured to the side portions by fastening screws. A pair of handles each has a lower portion pivotally coupled to the post at a pivot shaft. A pair of resistive members each has a lower end secured to the post and each has an upper end pivotally coupled to the handles such that the handles can be rotated about the pivot shafts against the resistive members. The, handles and the resistive members are secured to the posts and rotated in concert with the posts before the securing members secure the posts to the base.
Claims2
An exercise mechanism comprising:
- a base including a seat cushion secured thereon for supporting a user, said base including two side portions each having a hole formed therein,
- a pair of posts each including a lower end for engaging with said holes of said base and each including an upper end,
- means for securing said posts to said base,
- a pair of handles each including a lower portion pivotally coupled to said upper end of said post at a pivot shaft so as to allow said handles to be rotated about said pivot shafts, and
- a pair of resistive means each including a lower end secured to said post and each including an upper end pivotally coupled to said lower portion of said handles at a pivot axle, so as to allow said handles to be rotated about said pivot shafts against said resistive means,
- said handles and said resistive means being secured to said posts and being rotated in concert with said posts before said securing means secures said posts to said base.
