EMIL .AQ FRIEDLI, 0E CANTON, cierro.
" n EXEncIsEE.
T0 all lwhom it may concern c f Be it lnnown that 1I, EMIL-A. FRIEDLI, a
citizen ofthe United Statesof America, and l a resident or' Canton, in the countyoffStarkl and State of Ohio, have invented a new and improved Exerciser, f of c which the following is a full, clear, andexact.description.
An object of my invention'isto 'provide a gymnasium exercising apparatus so ar ranged as to provide for widerange of exercises. f
A further object of the invention is to provide an exerciser that may be readily use by children. y
ln carrying out the objects of theinvention use is made of a` chair, and in convenient relation thereto, exercising media are arranged. Pedal devices are provided to be operated by a person seated in the chair, and to have movements in unisonv with the latter, and a flexible connection is made between the pedal kdevices Aand la register to register the motions. Hand holds are provided above the chair, both at the front and rear within reach of an occupant of the chair, and a, iiexible connection is made between the hand holds and a movable weight or other resisting means, connection being alsoestablished between' the handfholds and the register. An overhead trapeze is provided directly above the *chair and has conand assemblage of the parts are such that complete bodily exerciseis possible.
The invention will-be particularly `explained in the specific description following. j V Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings fo-rininga part of thisspeciiication, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts inall the views.v
Figure 1 is a side elevation of an exercisingapparatus embodying my invention; Fig. 2 isa detail horizontal section on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1; Fig. 8 is a detail showing a sectional side view of the guiding means for the flexible connections between the hand holds and the "weights, Fig. Llisa at the'underside of the chai'rseat, kfor effecting the vertical adjustment of the seat."
6 is a plan view with parts broken away and Fig. is a cross sectional detail A j Si1"1' 12ifti,nofcwrsPatent.` Patented 0ct.20,` Appiicationaied January 14,1914. `seriaiivo. eiaoai.
of the `supporting means for a` pedal device i ingchair 11.r Standards`12, here shown as four in number,l` are-.provided which support anqovei'head `ran'ie 13, there being auxiliaryffranie parts 141 to receive electric lamps 14n.
On the base 10 in front of the chair, pedals 15 arek inountedon ka transverse shaft 16 having bearings in avertical bracket 17, .the base 18,01 which extends transversely and `is`` slidably supported on Vthe horizontal guide 19. As here shown, the yguide 19 has flanges 19EL at the sides, which extend upwardly, and the base v18 has'at the sides thereof, downwardly extending llanges 18a embracing theflanges 19?L of the guide 19.
yat the approximate.center thereof, a rock- There may be providedalso, running wheelsv 18b supported in dependinglugs 18c`on the underside of they base 18, and ruiming on the guide 19. rSet screws 20, or rany other suitable fastening means may be employed to bind the base 1S in they adjusted position.
The pedals 15 connect attheir outer `ends with side vlinks 21, the `opposite ends of rwhich connect withcranlr` arms 21% onay shaft 211 (Fig. 1)' mountedon bearing standards 21e, which'r shaft lhas `operative connectionwith the chair, as hereinaterfdel scribed, tok produce pedalj movements in unison vwith the rocking movements 'of the chair. A rope 22 or other flexible connection extends from the rear end of eaclilink 21, or vfroin'the crank armsl2l, upwardlyl of register 24.-
to the operatingarm 23 of any known form A ilexible connection 25 extends from each to a hand 'hold 26 in front of ther chair, and above the latter. A flexible connection 27 rims from one endof each handy hold 26 over pulleys 28, 28a, downwardly to a weight register arm 23 forwardly and downwardly r 29,*-one of said weights beingprovided on each front'standard '12, so that each of the "handhelds 2G will connect with a weight.
A` second flexible-connection@ extends from ios the'oppositevend of each hand hold 26 over i the adjacent pulley 28andfdownwardlyto a connection witlifthe opposite side of the weight29. y"llie arrangement yis such that a pull o-n the hand holds will be communicated to theregister arms 23 at each side of the` iio apparatus, and at the same time the pull will be resisted by the vertically sliding weights 29. At the rear of the chair and above lthe same, additional hand holds 26aare proleys 2S, 2S, similarly to the front connection.v
In 'order that the pulleys 2S, 2S?L may accommodate themselves to the varying angle of the pull on the handyholds, each -`pair of said pulleys is swiveled on its respective beneath Athe rung 33.
base, and each pulley is capable-of individual swiveling movement, as seen best in- Fig. 3. Thus the pulleys are mounted in hous ings 32, 82a, presenting stems 34, 35, mounted Vto turn on their own axes in a rung 33, which is swiveled by arv stud 36 on the post 12, there being ball bearings 36, if desired,
In order to support the chair seat adjustably, the base 48 is provided with vertical series of ratchet teeth `49, and depending bars 50 have corresponding ratchet teeth 51 to engage the teeth 49. The bars 50 are pivoted at their upper ends, asat 52, to the' chair seat 11a, and a vpair of crossed arms are pivoted centrally ,to `hangers .54.. The'y arms 53 are connected by retractile springs 5,5 which tend to soturn the said armsas tof cause the same to press outwardly` against `thebaeks ofthe dependingpivoted bars 50 to maintain the latter in engagement withl Awith the respective arms bars 50 out of engagement with the teeth 4Q and'perm-it the seat to be raised or lowered, a pull handle 56 is connected by links 57 On the guide 19 in front ofthe pedals 15 and base 1S, a foot rest 59 is slidably sup-4 ported, there being side lugs or flanges 60 o n said foot rest, provided with set screws 61 adapted to engage the guide iianges 19L1 of the guide 19. The said foot rest is also preferablyprovided with running., wheels or rollers 59flsimila`r `to the wheels 18b on the l base 18. I
VThe chair -11 desirably is provided with hingedclosures 11":l at the front, the closures being equipped with any suitable lock or latch 11e. Y
Byjth'e described construction the necessary adjustments are provided to acco1nmo datethe apparatus tothe size of the user. It will .be observed ,that the apparatus makes possible not only effective pedal and arm exercises, but complete bodily movements, since the occupant of the chair in gripping the handhelds, or the trapeze, and utilizing the pedals or foot rest, may perform various body movements. j
