Publication number: 20230158363Abstract: An offloading system for use with a treadmill includes an air chamber configured to be selectively inflated between a deflated condition and an inflated, operating condition, a user seal coupled to the air chamber and adapted to receive a user so that, in the operating condition, at least a portion of the user is received in the user seal and positioned within the air chamber, a pump operable to inflate the air chamber, and a controller configured to determine an occurrence of a loss of pressure in the air chamber and, in response to the occurrence, cause a reduction of speed of a running belt of the treadmill.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2023Publication date: May 25, 2023Applicant: Woodway USA, Inc.Inventors: Douglas G. Bayerlein, Nicholas A. Oblamski, Vance E. Emons, Ben Peterson, Derek T. Jordan

Patent number: 11559720Abstract: An exercise and therapeutic device includes a treadmill comprising a running belt coupled to a treadmill frame and an offloading system coupled to the treadmill. The offloading system includes an air chamber surrounding the running belt adapted to be selectively inflated between a deflated condition and an inflated, operating condition, a user seal coupled to the air chamber, adapted to receive a user so that, in an operating condition, at least a portion of a user is received in the user seal and positioned within the air chamber and to seal the air chamber around the user, a pump operable to inflate the air chamber, at least one strap coupled to the treadmill frame and adapted to restrict the expansion of the air chamber and adjust a spacing of the user seal relative to a running surface of the running belt when the air chamber is inflated.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2020Date of Patent: January 24, 2023Assignee: Woodway USA, Inc.Inventors: Douglas G. Bayerlein, Nicholas A. Oblamski, Vance E. Emons, Ben Peterson, Derek T. Jordan

Patent number: 11547921Abstract: A treadmill includes a frame and a running belt coupled to the frame. The running belt is configured to rotate relative to the frame. The treadmill includes a controller coupled to the frame, and at least one sensor coupled to the controller. The at least one sensor is configured to collect information regarding a rotation of the running belt and a use of the treadmill by a user including a cadence, a ground contact time, and a stride length of the user of the treadmill. The treadmill further includes a display device coupled to the frame. The display device is configured to display the collected information regarding the rotation of the running belt, the cadence, the ground contact time, and the stride length of the user of the treadmill. At least one light source is configured to selectively emit a light regarding the treadmill.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2020Date of Patent: January 10, 2023Assignee: Woodway USA, Inc.Inventors: Douglas G. Bayerlein, Nicholas A. Oblamski, Derek T. Jordan, Joseph W. Martin

Patent number: 11517806Abstract: A treadmill includes a frame. A running belt is coupled to the frame so that the running belt is adapted for rotation relative to the frame. At least one sensor is adapted for collecting parameter information regarding the experience of a user of the treadmill. The parameter information is selected from the group consisting of the user's heart rate, total expended calories, stride length, stride force, cadence, pace, distance, resistance level, incline level, carver count, carver cadence, step count, ground contact time, relative position within a race, and relative position on the treadmill. The treadmill also includes at least one light source that is adapted to selectively communicate information to an instructor relating to the parameter.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2020Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: Woodway USA, Inc.Inventors: Douglas G. Bayerlein, Nicholas A. Oblamski, Derek T. Jordan, Joseph W. Martin

Publication number: 20210069543Abstract: An exercise and therapeutic device includes a treadmill comprising a running belt coupled to a treadmill frame and an offloading system coupled to the treadmill. The offloading system includes an air chamber surrounding the running belt adapted to be selectively inflated between a deflated condition and an inflated, operating condition, a user seal coupled to the air chamber, adapted to receive a user so that, in an operating condition, at least a portion of a user is received in the user seal and positioned within the air chamber and to seal the air chamber around the user, a pump operable to inflate the air chamber, at least one strap coupled to the treadmill frame and adapted to restrict the expansion of the air chamber and adjust a spacing of the user seal relative to a running surface of the running belt when the air chamber is inflated.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 23, 2020Publication date: March 11, 2021Inventors: Douglas G. Bayerlein, Nicholas A. Oblamski, Vance E. Emons, Ben Peterson, Derek T. Jordan
