Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an exercise device.
  • Some forms of exercise device have been developed using hydraulic or water filled cylinders and pistons. However because of their inherent nature, variations in speed of exercise cannot be readily accommodated, and the resistance means do not provide a reciprocal returning force. Thus they do not facilitate the important "negative" stage of the exercise during which the same muscles employed in pushing the resistance are used again in resisting the force during movement in the opposite direction.
  • the non-return valve 32 is closed, so that the air forced into the air receiver 22 remains trapped, and further air is introduced into the piston rod side of the cylinder 20, via the non-return valve 34, which is now open.
  • This action is repeated by the user to pump up the air pressure in the air receiver 22.
  • the control unit 30 first automatically opens and after a short delay closes the valve 40 to vent air from the cylinder 20 and enable the piston 28 to complete its travel to the end of the cylinder 20.
  • the control unit 30 then automatically opens the by-pass valve 36.
  • the pressure which has been built up in the receiver 22 is now therefore communicated to the piston rod side of the piston 28.
  • the valve 36 is therefore opened slowly so as not to cause a dangerously sudden increase of return force on the foot pedal 18.
  • the minimum and maximum values after five pump-up strokes with the valve 42 shut are about 203 and 228 respectively and after 10 strokes about 305 and 357 respectively.
  • the load variation after 5 pump-up strokes is about 12% and after 10 strokes it is about 17%. (After one pump-up stroke it is about 5%).
  • the operating cylinder 20 may be vertically oriented for use in an exercise device in which the user pushes a resisting member upwards with his arms, for example.
  • the control unit 30 is shown mounted at the rear of the device, but an arrangement is possible in which the control unit 30 is positioned at the front of the device.
  • connection between the main piston and each pedal or other operating member does not have to be rigid: links and rods could be used, or even a flexible connection.
