Exercising apparatus
First Claim
1. An apparatus for enabling an operator to exercise, comprising:
- a frame having a body portion, a base and a beam portion having one end coupled to the body portion;
a load supported by the frame to provide a resistive force;
a press supported by the frame for displacement by the operator;
a linkage joining said load with said press for displacing said load upon displacement of said press by the operator;
a support pivot;
an arm having a first end coupled by the support pivot at a top surface of the beam portion of the frame to allow the arm to pivot about the beam portion of the frame, the arm having a first portion that runs generally parallel to the beam portion of the frame and a second portion that hangs below and distal from the beam portion of the frame, with the second portion terminating at a second end of the arm; and
a user interface device comprising a display that renders a graphical user interface for inputting and outputting data to a processor device and with the user interface rotatably secured to the second end of said arm for pivoting said user interface about said arm.

Abstract
An apparatus is disclosed for enabling an operator to exercise comprising a frame having a body, a base and a top. A load is positioned on the frame for providing a resistive force. A press is positioned on the frame for displacement by the operator. A linkage joins the load with the press for displacing the load upon displacement of the press by the operator. An aria extends between a support end and a user end. A support pivot secures the support end of the arm to the top of the frame for pivoting the arm about the frame. A user interface inputs and outputs data. A user pivot securing the user interface to the user end of the arm for pivoting the user interface about the arm.

21. An apparatus for enabling an operator to exercise, the apparatus comprising:
-
a frame having a body, a base and a beam portion coupled to the body; a load positioned on said frame for providing a resistive force; a press positioned on said frame for displacement by the operator; a linkage joining said load with said press for displacing said load upon displacement of said press by the operator; a first seat support having a cylindrical body defining an interior chamber extending between a first end and a second end, said second end of said first seat support secured to said base; a second seat support having a cylindrical body defining an interior chamber extending between a first end and a second end, said second end of said second seat support inserted into said first end of said first seat support for telescoping said second seat support within said interior chamber of said first seat support; a seat secured to said first end of said second seat support; a pneumatic cylinder interposed between said first end of said second seat support and said base for supporting said seat at multiple positions; and a seat actuator secured to said seat for the operator to operate said pneumatic cylinder; and an arm coupled to a top region of the beam portion of the frame by a pivot coupling that allows the arm to pivot at least partially about the top region of the beam, the arm having a generally L shape between the first end and terminating in a second end that hangs below and distal from the beam portion of the frame; and a user interface device comprising a display that renders a graphical user interface for inputting and outputting data to a processor device, with the user interface rotatably secured to the second end of said arm for pivoting said user interface about said arm member. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25)
