Definitions

  • This invention relates to a motorized pulling system for a multipurpose exercise machine or universal gym, as called in the following.
  • This invention relates to a motorized pulling system for a universal gym, as it is generally known, e.g. from US-A-5'304'104.
  • a pulling system for a single purpose exercise machine which utilizes a motor to provide pulling force against the user so that the user must apply a larger force than the pulling force in order to operate the exercise machine.
  • the universal gym comprises a main frame 100 on which are mounted a pair of rotatable arms 20, a pair of rowing arms 30, a leg press 40, and a motor 80.
  • the rotatable arms 20, the rowing arms 30 and the leg press 40 are connected with a motor 80 via two cables 71 and 72 and a plurality of pulleys.
  • This invention is characterized by utilizing a motor 80 to provide pulling force for a universal gym instead of weights thereby reducing the size of the universal gym and enabling the load to be adjusted conveniently and linearly.
  • the motor 80 is fixedly mounted the main frame and engaged with a gear reduction device 81 which has an output shaft 82.
  • the main frame 100 includes an auxiliary frame 50 and a movable leg 60.
  • the auxiliary frame 50 is fitted between two supports 101 of the main frame 100.
  • the rowing arm 30 is provided at the lower end with a pin 301 extending through the support 101 of the main frame 100 into the auxiliary frame 30 so that the auxiliary frame 30 will be rotated in unison with the rowing arm 30 (see FIGS. 3, 6 and 7).
  • the movable leg 60 is rotatably connected with the main frame 100 and has a pair of rods 61 enclosed with sponge-like material.
  • the rotatably arms 20 are each vertically rotatably connected with one side of the main frame 100.
  • a first pulley 1 is fixedly mounted on the main frame 100.
  • a second pulley 2 is fixedly mounted on the auxiliary frame 50 so that the second pulley 2 will be moved together with the rowing arm 30.
  • the second pulley 2 is disposed at the left side of the first pulley 1 (see FIG. 4).
  • a third pulley 3 is fixedly mounted on the main frame 100 and disposed at the left side of the second pulley (see FIG. 4).
  • a fourth pulley 4 is fixedly mounted on the main frame 100 and located above the third pulley 3.
  • a fifth pulley 5 is fixedly mounted on the main frame 100 and disposed above the fourth pulley 4.
  • a sixth pulley 6 is fixedly mounted on the main frame 100 and disposed above the fifth pulley 5.
  • a seventh pulley 7 is disposed between the fifth pulley 5 and the sixth pulley 6.
  • An eighth pulley 8 is fixedly connected with the seventh pulley 7 (see FIGS. 3, 4 and 5).
  • a ninth pulley 9 is fixedly mounted on the main frame 100 (see FIGS. 3 and 4).
  • a tenth pulley 10 is fixedly mounted at the right side of the ninth pulley 9 (see FIG. 5).
  • An eleventh pulley 11 is rotatably mounted at one side of the main frame 100.
  • An twelve pulley 12 is rotatably mounted at the other side of the main frame 100.
  • a thirteenth pulley 13 is fixedly mounted on the main frame 100.
  • a fourteenth pulley 14 is fixedly mounted on the main frame 100 and disposed under the thirteenth pulley 13 (see FIG. 4).
  • a fifteenth pulley 15 is fixedly mounted at the lower end of the movable leg 60 so that the fifteenth pulley 15 will move in unison with the movable leg 60.
  • the cable 71 is connected with the fifteenth pulley 15 at one end and with the output shaft 82 of the gear reduction device 81 at the other end.
  • the cable 70 passes in sequence through the lower side of the first pulley 1, the upper side of the second pulley 2, the lower side of the third pulley 3, the upper side of the fourth pulley 4, the right side of the fifth pulley 5, the left side of the seventh pulley 7, the right side of the sixth pulley 6, the upper side of the thirteenth pulley 13, the lower side of the fourteenth pulley 14, and the lower side of the fifteen pulley 15.
  • the second cable 72 is connected with the eleventh pulley 11 at one end and with the twelve pulley 12 at another end. Further, the second cable 72 sequentially passes through the left side of the ninth pulley 9, the right side of the eighth pulley 8 and the left side of the tenth pulley 10.
  • the motor 80 is connected with an electronic controlling device (not shown) through which the speed of the motor 80 can be adjusted linearly.
  • an electronic controlling device may be of any conventional design well known to those skilled in the art and is not considered a part of the invention.
  • the connection between the first cable 71 and the output shaft 82 of the gear reduction device 81 is shown in FIG. 11.
  • FIGS. 8A and 8B show the working principle of the rowing arms 30.
  • the auxiliary frame 50 will have a tendency to rotate upward with respect to the support 101 of the main frame 100.
  • the force applied on the rowing arms 30 by an user is larger than the pulling force of the output shaft 82 of the gear reduction device 81, the second pulley 2 will be lifted thus giving exercise to the user.
  • FIG. 9A and 9B show the working principle of the rotatable arms. As shown, when the rotatable arms 40 are rotated inward, the second cable 71 will pull the eighth pulley 8 to go forward. However, the rotatable arms 20 can only be rotated when the force applied on the rotatable arms 20 by the user is larger than the pulling force of the output shaft 82 of the gear reduction device 81.
  • FIG. 10 shows the working principle of the leg press 60. As can be seen, when the fifteen pulley 15 is rotated upward, the motor 80 will tend to pull the first cable 71. Only when a force applied to the leg press 60 is larger than the pulling force of the output shaft 82 of the gear reduction device 81 will the leg press 60 be rotated upward.
