Definitions

  • the present invention relates to exercise devices which employ a resilient band as a resistance element in the device, and more particularly but not exclusively to the exercise device described in Australian Patent Application 12659/83 (USA Patent 4 521 013).
  • the resilient band is provided with apertures which fit over projections mounted on a carriage. Such an arrangement has been found unsuccessful due to the friction between the projection and the aperture. In addition to this, stress concentration around the aperture considerably shortens the life of the resilient band.
  • a support for an elongated resilient element to pass around the support comprising a body having a resilient element supporting peripheral surface, and a resilient sleeve about said body and covering said peripheral surface and which contacts said element to facilitate elongation of said element adjacent said peripheral surface by resilient deformation of said sleeve, upon tensioning of said element.
  • a resilient band for use in an exercise device to provide the exercise device with a resistance element, said band being generally elongated and being provided at each end with a coupling assembly enabling attachment of the band to the exercise device, and wherein each coupling assembly comprises an enlarged portion of said band and a bracket embedded therein, said bracket being formed of metal and having a first portion embedded in said enlarged portion, and an attachment portion extending from within the enlarged portion, with said enlarged portion being moulded around said first portion so as to be fixed but not adhered to said first portion of said bracket.
  • a resistance band 30 having an elongated body 32 provided with enlarged end portions 31. Embedded in the enlarged portions 31 are mounting brackets 32 to enable the resistance band 30 to be attached to the exercise device.
  • the brackets 32 are embedded in the enlarged portions 31 by the body 34 of the band being moulded thereabout. However, it should be appreciated that although the brackets 32 are embedded in the portions 31, the band material is not adhered to the brackets 32. Accordingly, under stress, the material forming the body of 34 the band 30 can move relative to the brackets 32.
  • the body 34 would be formed of rubber, whether natural or synthetic.
  • the body 34 may be formed of a combination of synthetic and natural rubber.
  • the central portion 33 of the body 34 may have different resilient properties to the remainder of the body 34.
  • a support 10 for a resilient band 11 of an exercise device such as the exercise device described in Australian application 12659/ 8 3 (USA Patent No 4 521 013).
  • the band 11 may be constructed in accordance with the band 30 of Figs. 1 to 6.
  • the support 10 comprises a body 12 of generally triangular configuration and having an external peripheral surface provided with a plurality of ribs 13. Accordingly the body 12 has an apex 21 from which two support surfaces 22 diverge.
  • the ribs 13 extend transversely to the band 11.
  • Located about the peripheral surface of the body 12 is a resilient sleeve 14 which is sandwiched between the body 12 and the resilient band 11.
  • the sleeve 14 co-operates with the ribs 13 to provide cavities 15 within which a lubrication material may be provided to lubricate the sleeve 14 to enhance relative movement between the sleeve 14 and the body 12.
  • Each end of the body 12 is provided with an end plate 16 which projects beyond the body 12 so as to define a track through which the band 11 passes.
  • the body 12 is provided with a central passage 17 and each end plate 16 is provided with a passage 18.
  • a pin then passes through the passages 17 and 18 to enable mounting of the support 10 in the exercise device.
  • the apex of the body 12 is provided with two transversely projecting lugs 19 which engage within a recess 2 0 formed in each end plate 16. The lugs 19 thereby co-operate with each end plate 16 to fix the end plates 16 to the body 12.
