Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
BACKGROUND [0001] This invention relates to an exercise apparatus, more particularly to a multi-exercise machine which enables a user to perform a variety of exercises in both sitting and standing positions. [0002] Single function exercise machines have been developed for several decades. It is common for an exercise club to arrange different single function exercise machines for users to perform different exercises. With a trend of home exercise, it is not proper for home users to arrange different single function exercise machines in their limited floor space. Some prior arts try to disclose some multi-exercise machines in which a user can perform different exercises without shifting to different single function machines. [0003] Some multi-exercise machine such as U.S. Pat. No. 6,488,612, are designed to be performed by a user in a standing position. The '612 patent discloses a multi-exercise machine comprising a general upright, an elongated arm mechanism, and a cable interconnected to a handle. In such a machine, a user can not perform a lot of exercises which are usually performed by a user in a seated position. Other multi-exercise machines such as US2003/0027696, may have a seat connected to a multi-exercise machine for a user to perform some exercises in a sitting position. With the way the seat is connected to the multi-exercise machine, a user has a problem when he/she wants to perform exercises in a standing position because the seat may interfere with some movements of the user. A user needs to straddle the seat in order to perform some exercises in a standing position. By straddling the seat, a user could be in a wrong ergonomic posture because of an interference of the seat. As a result, the existence of the seat could decrease the variety of exercises possible using the multi-exercise machine. [0004] Some multi-exercise machines such as US D502,515, try to increase the variety of exercises in a sitting position by having different frame configurations. For example, the configuration has two uprights and two corresponding sliding handles for performing different exercises while the handles are positioned in different levels on the uprights. Because of the frame configuration of the prior art, some exercises may be limited due to the frame configuration, especially a user performing a biceps curl or chest press in a sitting position. [0005] For the foregoing reasons, there exists a need for a multi-exercise machine having a simple configuration to allow a user to perform a variety of exercises in both sitting and standing positions. SUMMARY [0006] The present invention is directed to a device that satisfies this need for a multi-exercise machine having a simple configuration to allow a user to perform a variety of exercises in both sitting and standing positions. [0007] In the preferred embodiment, the exercise machine of the present invention includes a base frame having an upright extending upward from the base frame, a weight stack, a plurality of pulleys, a cable system connected to the weight stack, a gripping handle connected the cable system, and a seat connected to the frame to be movable from the first seat position to the second seat position. [0008] One object of the present invention is to provide a multi-exercise machine which enables a user to perform a variety of exercises in both sitting and standing positions. [0009] Another object of the present invention is to provide a multi-exercise machine with a seat to be movable from a first seat position to a second seat position in order to create more space for correct ergonomic posture of a user in a standing position. [0010] Another object of the present invention is to provide a multi-exercise machine with an inclined post configuration to enable correct ergonomic postures of a user in a sitting position. [0011] Another object of the present invention is to provide a multi-exercise machine with an inclined post configuration to decrease interference between the elbow of a user and the exercise machine while the user is in a sitting position. [0012] The reader is advised that this summary is not meant to be exhaustive. Further features aspects and advantages of the present invention will become better understood with reference to the following description, accompanying drawings and appended claims.
