1. An exercise machine comprising:
- a resistive load meansa frame for supporting said resistive load means,a pulley element,an eccentric cone attached to said pulley element said eccentric come including an embedded channel track,a movable interface element,a resistance force attachment mount,a first flexible force transmission element and a second force transmission element, said second force transmission element having attached thereto said resistance force attachment mount; and
wherein said first flexible force transmission element is attached to and between said user interface element and said pulley element and said second force transmission element is attached between said resistive load means on one end and at a second end to said embedded channel track of said eccentric cone to thereby allow lateral movement of the attachment mount with respect to said track of said eccentric cone.

Abstract
An exercise machine that outputs constant force from resilient resistances and allows continuously selectable levels of strength training resistance. The machine consists primarily of a pre-biased resistance element (50), a conical pulley structure with eccentric cross section (40), an axially adjustable force attachment point (34) and a frame (10). Flexible force transmission elements (30) conduct force to the user interface elements (16, 17) via pulleys (36).
