POWER DETECTING DEVICE
First Claim
1. A device for detecting developed power in exercise equipment, and comprising:
- a rotary wheel drivable by a person taking exercise, a device for determining the speed of rotation of the wheel, a brake jaw applicable against the wheel, a mounting device with a first part which, in the direction of movement of the wheel, is fixedly secured in the exercise equipment, and a second part which, against spring action, is movable in the direction of movement of the wheel and to which the brake jaw is connected, wherein there is connected, to the first and second parts, a sensor for determining the movement of the second part in relation to the first part in the direction of movement of the wheel.

Abstract
A device for detecting power for exercise equipment has a wheel driven by a person exercising, a speedometer for determining the speed of rotation of the wheel and a brake jaw supported by a mounting device and applicable against the wheel. The mounting device is connected to the frame of the exercise equipment and has a moving part which supports the brake jaw and which, under the action of the braking force, is applicable against a resilient shoulder. The shoulder has a strain gauge for measuring elastic deformations in the shoulder and thereby also indirectly the size of the braking force.
