Abstract

The invention herein relates to a variable weight exercise machine comprising a motor driven carriage assembly that moves along a linear path creating a variable resistant force against which the user exerts an opposite force. The chassis body and frame of said device having a design that can be modularly configured in coordination with said carriage element, enabling a plurality of horizontal, vertical, or angular concentric or eccentric exercise movements.

Claims

1. A motor-driven variable weight exercise device with adjustable chassis body comprising

a chassis frame wherein said chassis frame having two parallel guide tracks,

a linear actuator and motor drive,

a carriage element,

a external platform,

a rotatable resting element,

and removable cross-bars.

2. Said motor-driven variable weight exercise device with adjustable chassis body of claim 1 further having perforations through its said chassis frame.

3. Said motor-driven variable weight exercise device with adjustable chassis body of claim 1 further having perforations through its said rotatable resting element.

4. Said motor-driven variable weight exercise device with adjustable chassis body of claim 1 further having perforations through its said chassis frame.

5. Said motor-driven variable weight exercise device with adjustable chassis body of claim 1 wherein said carriage element is seated over said linear actuator and movably seated on said parallel guide tracks of said chassis frame.

6. Said motor-driven variable weight exercise device with adjustable chassis body of claim 1 wherein said external platform comprising an external tool or an external extension.

7. Said external extension according to claim 6 comprising a seating element or a vertical panel removably connectable to said carriage element.

8. Said motor-driven variable weight exercise device with adjustable chassis body of claim 1 wherein said rotatable resting element is hingely connected to said chassis frame, is rotatable over top said chassis frame within 180 degrees of horizontal, and may be locked into an angular position over top said chassis frame.

9. Said motor-driven variable weight exercise device with adjustable chassis body of claim 1 wherein said chassis frame having a left side and right side surface, said left and right side surfaces having a plurality of radially disposed perforations that are in mirror position between said left and right side surfaces, said plurality of radially disposed perforations of said left and right side surfaces of said chassis being disposed below said rotatable resting element.

10. Said motor-driven variable weight exercise device with adjustable chassis body of claim 1 wherein said chassis frame having a front end and a rear end, such that said rotatable resting element is positioned towards the rear end of said chassis frame and said carriage is positioned towards the front end of said chassis frame.

11. Said motor-driven variable weight exercise device with adjustable chassis body of claim 1 wherein said chassis frame having an internal cavity space such that said linear actuator, motor drive, and carriage elements are held within the internal cavity space in interconnected manner.

12. Said motor-driven variable weight exercise device with adjustable chassis body of claim 1 is remotely operable.

13. Said motor-driven variable weight exercise device with adjustable chassis body of claim 1 having a removably detachable digital panel, said removably detachable panel in communication with said linear actuator and motor drive to provide user performance information through digital preconfigured software means.

14. Said motor-driven variable weight exercise device with adjustable chassis body of claim 1 is controllable by said digital panel of claim 13.

15. Said motor-driven variable weight exercise device with adjustable chassis body of claim 1 wherein said device comprising said chassis frame, rotatable resting element, carriage, linear actuator and motor drive, and external extension being under 300 pounds in total and wherein the length of said chassis frame is under 100 inches.

16. The total surface area of all said perforations according to claim 4 that are disposed along the surfaces of said chassis frame, said rotatable resting element, and said external platform is at least 0.5% or above the cumulative surface area of said chassis frame, rotatable resting element, and external platform.

17. Said motor-driven variable weight exercise device with adjustable chassis body of claim 1 wherein said external extension comprising a vertical platform, said vertical platform having a planar surface facing towards the rear end of said chassis frame, said vertical platform further having two arm extensions each protruding from the left and right sides of said vertical platform and parallel to the right and left sides of said chassis frame along the length of said chassis frame, each arm extension of said two arm extensions terminating with a perpendicularly disposed handle element.

18. Each said perpendicularly disposed handle element of claim 17 further terminating with a round gripping element, said round gripping element may be fixedly connected or removably connectable to each said perpendicularly disposed handle element.

19. Said motor-driven variable weight exercise device with adjustable chassis body of claim 1 wherein said external platform comprising an external tool, said external tool is removably attachable to one or more flexible strap, band, chain, rope in secure manner.
