Patent number: 10265572Abstract: An exercise device that includes a frame, a user interface; a connection cable and a plurality of components that provide resistance to the cable and user interface. These components include a programmable, driven carriage capable of vertical movement between first and second positions and including one or more pulleys mounted thereon, wherein the cable extending away from the first end and user interface passes around the one or more pulleys on the carriage, a slider mechanism moveable between first and second positions and including one or more pulleys mounted thereon, and a pneumatic resistance device that is secured to the frame and that is operatively associated with the slider mechanism to provide resistance to slider mechanism movement between the first and second positions.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2017Date of Patent: April 23, 2019Inventor: James Christopher Bach

Publication number: 20170268643Abstract: This invention relates to an end cap return for a ball screw. The end cap uses tangential force from the sidewalls of the ball passage to roll the ball bearings sideways out of the leadscrew raceway rather than the typical protruding finger that picks the balls up directly. The end cap allows it to be advantageously fabricated with using additive manufacturing, making the end cap cost effective for use in custom ball screw assemblies. In some embodiments, the end cap may include an insert for certain portions of the end cap that can be easily and inexpensively replaced should the insert become worn.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 16, 2017Publication date: September 21, 2017Applicant: Dynatect Manufacturing, Inc.Inventors: Thomas R.
