Abstract
This invention is in the field of exercise equipment and in particular a weight training apparatus comprising a stack of weights.
Description
BACKGROUND
Weight training is popular for strengthening and developing muscles. Training with free weights is well known where weights are added to or removed from each end of a bar as desired to adjust the amount of weight being moved during an exercise, It is also well known to provide a weight training apparatus including a stack of weights connected to a cable. The apparatus typically provides a gtlide frame to prevent lateral tnovement of the weights but allow free vertical movement. The guide frame typically includes a rod or rods extending upward through the individual weights. The guide frame could also comprise a housing operative to suitably restrain the weights by guiding outer edges or cotners of the weights. The operator places a pin in a location selected to engage a desired number of weights, and a handle on the end of the cable is manipulated to move the selected number of weights during the exercise. Pulleys are pror-ided to allow the operator to lift upward to raise the weights in the same motion as with free weights, and typically the pulley system also allows the operator to pull downward or outward as well, providing for a wide ran-e of motion to various parts of t.:c;
body.
Weight stack exercise machines are disclosed for example in United States Patent Numbers 6,447,430 to Webb et al. and 6,558,300 to Deola.
While many people have access to commercial gymnasiums and like training facilities where weight training machines are available, and are quite comfortable attending such facilities, many others prefer to exercise at home. Weight training equipment however typically occupies a significant amount of space, making home equipment impractical for many people where space at home is limited, and especially where only one member of the household is a weight trainer. Often commercial enterprises desire to offer gymnasiurn facilities to their employees as well., and space is typically at a premium in commercial locations as well.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the present invention to provide a weight stack apparatus for a weight traniing system that overcomes problems in the prior art.
The present invention provides weight stack apparatus comprising a stack of weight members mounted in a guide frame. The weight mecirsers are elongated, and the weight mernbers and frame arc configured to fold compactly against a wall, or inside a wall. The width of the weight members substantially dictates the width of the stack apparatus. The weight members can be configured by making them longer and narrower, or shorter and wider, to provide a desired weight per member while also providing the desired width for the frame apparatus to suit a particular location.
The apparatus can conveniently be recessed inside an interior wall where insulation is not required, and a door or the like provided to hide the apparatus when not in use. The guide frame comprises front and rear edges, with the weight members mounted between the front and rear edges such that the weight members can move up and down but are prevented from moving laterally right and left or forward and rearward.
A pin and cable system such as is known in the art allows a selected number of weight members to be moved by pulling on the cable. Pulleys are mounted as required at the top and bottom of the guide frame. The pulleys are rotatable about axes that are substantially liorizontal and perpendicular to the plane of the guide frame such that the pulleys are located between the right and left outer planes defined by the outer surfaces of the weight members. Thus the width of the weight stack apparatus including the cable system is substantially within the outer surfaces of the weight members. In some embodiments it may be desired to provide a thiu metal sheet or plastic covering to confine and guide the outer edgcs of the weig t menibers, but til;; width of the apparatus is substantial:J
dictated by the width of the weight menibers.
An outer pulley, or pulley arrangement, is mounted on the front edge of the guide frame such that the pulley arrangement extends forward from the front edge of the guide frame to provide access for attachment of a handle to the cable to manipulate the weight members. The vertical position of outer pulley anangement on the front edge of the guide frame can be adjusted to allow for various cable pulling positions.
A rear edge of the guide frame is pivotally mounted on a wall, or recessed inside a wall, in a vertical orient.ation about a vertical pivot axis. The frame apparatus thus folds from a stored position substantially parallel to the wall, outward to an operating position substantially perpendicular to the wall.
In a typical weight training system, a pair of weight stack apparatuses are mounted at spaced apart locations on (or recessed in) a wall. Conveniently the weight training system includes a wall frame that attaches to the wall. The wall frame includes right and left upright members and lateral eross members connecting the upright members.
The inner edges of the right and left guide frames are pivotally attached to the corresponding right and left upright members of the wall frame. In the stored position the right guide frame folds to the left and the left guide frarne folds to the right such that the forward edges of the ri;ht and left guide fr;;mcs arc .,thcr. If reyuired in ~i pa~ticu':~~
configuratioii, tiie outer pulley ai7angements on t;ic ri19;7t and left guide frames can be adjusted vertically so that one is above the other to allow the front edges of the guide frames to be close together in the stored position.
When the right and left guide frames are pivoted outward to the operating position, braces are engaged in the guide members at one end and in a cross member at the other to maintain. the guide frames in the operating position perpendicular to the wall.
Conveniently the braces fold along the wall fmme or guide frames, and are maintained in a stored position by magnets.
The weight stack apparatus of the invention thus allows construction and installation of a compact weight training system.

DETAILED DESCB.EPTION OF THE ILLUSTRATED EMBODDiENTS
Figs.1 and 2 illustrate a weight training system comprising a pair of weight stack apparatuses 1 of the present invention. Each of the right and left weight stack apparatuses comprises a stack of weight members 3 mounted in a guide frame S.
The weight members 3 are elongated, and can be configured by making them longer and narrower, or shorter and wider, to provide a desired weight per member while also providing the desired width W for the stack apparatus 1 to suit a particular location.
The guide frame 5 comprises front and rear cdges 7, 9, with the weight members mounted between the front and rear edges 7, 9 such that the weight members 3 can move up and down but are prevented from moving laterally right and left or forward and rearward.

Pulleys ~ U:.cd ~,s recjuircd at the top and bottom of the guide frame 5. T'he pulleys 13 are rotatablo aL-out axes A t1-.at are substantially horizontal and perpendicular to the plane of the guide frame 5 such that the pulleys 13 are located between the right and left outer planes defined by the outer surfaces of the weight members 3. Thus the width W of the weight stack apparatus 1 including the cable system is substantially within the outer surfaces of the weight members 3.
In the illustrated embodiment, a pulley 13 at the top of the stack of weight members 3 provides a 2:1 ratio of distance moved by the cable to distance moved by the weight members 3. For example the weight members move 36" but the user end of cable moves 72" resulting in greater range of movement for the user and less restriction to the number of exercises one can perform. Shock and impact on the user are reduced as well. Many other configurations of pulleys 13 can be provided.
An outer pulley or pulley arrangement 13A, is mounted on the front edge 7 of the guide frame 5 such that the pulley arrangement 13A ext.ends forward from the front edge 7 of the guide frame 5 to provide access for attachment of a handle or the like to the cable 11 to manipulate the weight members 3. The vertical position of outer pulley arrangement 13A on the front edge of the guide frame can be adjusted by placing pin 15 ui one of the adjustment holes 17 on the front edge7 of u:r, guidc frame 5.

In the stored position the right guide franie 5R folds to the left and the left guide frame 5L folds to the right such that the forward edges 7R, 7L of the right and left guide frames are near each other as illustrated in Fig. 1. If required in a particular configuration, the outer pulley arrangements 13A on the right and left guide frames 5R, 5L can be adjusted vertically so that one is above the other, as illustrated, to allow the front edges 7 of the guide frames 5 to be close together in the stored position.
Braces 25 are engaged in the guide members 5 at one end and in the cross member 23 at the other to maintain the guide frames 5 in the operating position perpendicular to the wall. The braces 25 fold along the guide fratnes 5, as illustrated in Fig. 1, and are maintained in a stored position by engaging the free end in a storage socket 27.

The weight stack apparatus 1 of the invention thus allows construction and installation of a compact weight training system that folds compactly against a wall, or inside a wall.
The width of the weight members 3 substantially dictates the width of the stack apparatus 1. The stack apparatuses 1 can conveniently be recessed inside an interior wall where insulation is not required, and a door or the like provided to hide the apparatus I when not in use.
The foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention.
Further, since numerous changes and modifications will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all such suitable changes or modifications in structure or operation which may be resorted to are intended to fall within the scope of the clainied invention.
