Abstract
Description
- The present specification refers to an electromechanical mechanism for controlling fractional weight lifting plates in workout stations and, more specifically, to a shaft having pulleys, mounted on bearings fixed on the weight tower of the workout station to act in conjunction with a set of fractional weight lifting plates which together with the unit weights, make up the total amount selected by the user of the workout station.
- As persons skilled in the art are aware, weight towers of workout stations have various unit weights stacked, which may, in whole or in part, be lifted inside the towers by central vertical steel cables, driven by active members of the workout station driven by the user. Selecting the weights to lift may be obtained by inserting a horizontal pin, which crosses through a hole existing in each weight in correspondence with a sequence of holes of an ear that extends to below the lower weight and attaches at the top to a steel cable. A weight selected by the pin lifts all the weights above it as well.
- The most modern towers have electromechanical systems for selecting the weights, commanded by a panel fixed to the workout station.
- Many conventional towers have unit weights each weighing ten kilos and extra pins for coupling, in a guide parallel to that of the unit weights, of extra fractional loads, normally weighing five kilograms and two and a half kilograms.
- It is therefore one of the objectives of the present invention to provide an electromechanical mechanism for controlling fractional weight lifting plates in workout stations which enables the motorized selection of the fractional weight lifting plates in unit weight towers.
- These and other objectives and advantages of the present invention are achieved by way of a electromechanical mechanism for controlling fractional weight lifting plates in workout stations, to be installed in a weight tower of the workout station, of the kind comprised by two vertical columns, joined at the top by a crossbeam and at the bottom by a base, on which there rests a stack of unit weights that can be vertically moved by a steel cable, sliding in vertical guides mounted between the crossbeam and the base; and at the top of this tower there is a pulley that deflects the steel cable coming from the lower part of the tower towards the center of the tower, where it is fixed to the unit weights. According to the invention, the mechanism is comprised by the pulley mounted in the center of a shaft kept suspended and parallel to the crossbeam by a pair of bearings attached to the crossbeam of the tower; on this shaft there is mounted on either side of the pulley, another pulley provided with a coupling in the side section, housable in a coupling of an adjacent disk, lengthwise and slidingly mounted on the shaft, conducted by a rod which is propelled axially by the cursor of a linear actuator; fastened to each pulley is a steel cable, which passes through the tower, by a deflection pulley, hanging vertically down inside a tube attached to the crossbeam and to the base of the tower, the cylindrical fractional weight being held at the end.
- Next the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
-
Figure 1 represents a front raised view of a tower having the mechanism that is the object of the present invention; -
Figure 2 represents a vertical sectional view of a tower with the mechanism that is the object of the present invention; -
Figure 3 represents a long cross-sectional view of the mechanism, passing through the shaft of the pulley of the top of the tower; and -
Figure 4 represent a cross-sectional view of the top of the tower, crosswise to the shaft of the pulley. - According to these illustrations, the electromechanical mechanism for controlling fractional weight lifting plates in workout stations, the object of the present invention, is applied to weight towers comprised of two vertical columns 1, joined at the top by a
crossbeam 2 and at the bottom by abase 3 supporting said columns 1, whereby forming a rectangular space between the columns 1,crossbeam 2 andbase 3 where there is accommodated a plurality ofunit weights 4 stacked, as can be seen infigures 1 and2 . Theseunit weights 4 have vertical holes that are crossed byvertical guides 5 mounted between thecrossbeam 2 and thebase 3, seefigure 1 . - Above the
upper unit weight 4 there is a coupling plaque, with avertical bar 6 that crosses through all theunit weights 4 by corresponding central holes therein, this plaque being attached to the end of asteel cable 7 which lifts theunit weights 4. - The electromechanical mechanism promotes the coupling between the
vertical bar 6 and one of theunit weights 4, duly selected. Thesteel cable 7 then lifts, by way of thebar 6, the selectedweight 4 plus all the weights above it. - The present invention consists of adding to the
unit weights 4, fractional weight lifting plates equivalents to one half, or to one half plus one fourth of a unit weight, with an electromechanical selector for selective coupling. - In
figures 3 and4 the electromechanical selector for fractional weight lifting plates consists of using thecentral pulley 8 of the top of the tower, that deflects downwards, in the center of this tower, thesteel cable 7 coming from thebase 3, where there is adeflecting pulley 10 which leads the cable, horizontally, to the workout station, as schematically represented by an arrow infigure 2 . - Accordingly, the
pulley 8 has a tubular shaft 11, mounted onbushings 12 ofbearings 13 attached to thecrossbeam 2 of the tower. The tubular shaft 11 projects outwardly of thebushings 12 and receives, on either side of thebearings 13, thebushings 14 of twopulleys 15, which has channels forsteel cables 16 having small gauge or belt. - Each pulley has a
rotary coupling 17, opposite ananalogous coupling 18, of adisk 19 mounted lengthwise and slidingly on the shaft 11. At each end of the same shaft 11, internally, a cylindrical 20 is housed, whereon aradial pin 21 is mounted at the end, which perpendicularly crossesoblong holes 22 provided on the walls opposite the shaft 11, so as to enable the coupling of thispin 21 on therespective disk 19. The end opposite therod 20 leaves the hole of the shaft and connects to acursor 23 of alinear actuator 24, by way of arotary joint 25, eachactuator 24 being attached to thecrossbeam 2 of the tower. As described above, the shaft 11 has rods 20 at each end andlinear actuators 24, one for eachrod 20. - As can be seen in
figure 3 , at one of the ends of the shaft 11 there is also provided axially adisk 26 with perforations on the periphery, disposed with its edge accommodated in twooptical sensors 27. - These two
optical sensors 27 are located near each other and at a distance not multiple of the distance between the holes of thedisk 26 such that the CPU of the command panel recognizes the direction in which thedisk 26 is turning, besides counting the amount of holes in a lifting or lowering operation of the weights. -
Figure 4 illustrates how eachpulley 15 has the steel cable 16 (or belt), attached at a point snugly at the bottom of the channel, where itsterminal 28 is housed, and thissteel cable 16 extends behind the tower where it deflects downwards, vertically when passing by adeflection pulley 29. - At the
crossbeam 2 and at thebase 3 of the tower are fixed twovertical tubes 30, which receive, vertically and slidingly, two cylindrical weights, a weight 31 weighing five kilograms and the other 32 weighing two and a half kilograms, each in atube 30 and suspended by thesteel cables 16, which join at their centers. - The
tubes 30 are closed at the lower ends, and may containrubber pads 33 underneath to buffer the shock of any of the weights 31 or 32 that freefall due to rupture of therespective cable 16. Closed at the bottom, the tubes also help buffer the freefall by partial air compression with the weight acting as a piston. The weights 31 and 32 are hung by therespective steel cables 16, without touching the bottom of thetubes 30, keeping these cables driven, which will always keep theirpulleys 15 in the same position when not operated. - To raise one or two fractional weight lifting plates 31 and 32, in conjunction with the
selected unit weights 4 of the tower, the electronic command panel drives alinear actuator 24 or both. The actuator pushes therod 20 axially into the shaft 11, which, by means of itspin 21 conducts thedisk 19 towards thepulley 15, joining thecouplings pulley 15 thereafter turns conducted by the shaft 11. In this condition thepulley 15 winds thecable 16, suspending the weight 31 or 32, or both. When theunit weight 4 of the tower weighs 10 kilograms, fractional weight lifting plates weighing five kilograms and two and a half kilograms are used, such that selective operations of the twolinear actuators 24 may fill the interval between 10 kilogram weights in four equal intervals. - The
disk 26 and theoptical sensors 27 read the angular movement of thepulley 8, which is related to the linear movement of thesteel cable 7 and, therefore, to the displacement of theunit weights 4, and this data is relayed to the electronic panel of the workout station, which interprets it and adds it to the weight data informed by the sensor of the selection system and displays the energy expended in the exercise on the panel screen.
