First Claim
1. Exercise equipment comprising a stationary dock, a user support frame engaging said dock in docking relation and releasably lockable thereto at a plurality of selectable locking locations therealong, a locking member releasably locking said user support frame to said dock, said locking member being actuatable between a first locking position locking said user support frame to said dock at a selected one of said locking locations, and a second release position releasing said user support frame from said dock, a user-operated handle operable to a first condition which actuates said locking member to said locking position at a selected one of said locking locations, and a second condition which both:
- a) actuates said locking member to said release position to release said user support frame from said dock; and
b) enables movement of said user support frame to a different one of said locking locations; and
wherein the exercise equipment is further comprising a roller mounted to said user support frame and movable relative to said user support frame between a first raised position and a second lowered position, said roller in said lowered position engaging a floor which supports said dock, wherein moving said roller into said lowered position raises said user support frame above said floor and actuates said locking member to said release position and out of engagement with said dock, wherein moving said roller into said raised position lowers said user support frame and actuates said locking member to said locking position and enables re-engagement of said locking member with said dock.
