Publication number: 20180008865Abstract: An exercise apparatus includes a frame and a load mechanism disposed on the frame. The load mechanism has a plurality of selectable weights with each of the selectable weights having an associated indicator device. A press is mechanically coupled to the load mechanism to displace a load based on a selected weight and a sensor is disposed to measure an extent and speed of displacement of the load. A processor is in communication with the sensor, and the processor is configured to determine an indicator signal to send to the indicator device of one of the plurality of selectable weights of the load mechanism based on received performance data, the indicator signal used to indicate which one of the plural of weights to select.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2013Publication date: January 11, 2018Applicant: KOKO FITNESS, INC.Inventors: Michael G. Lannon, Mary O. Lannon, Carl R. Spoeth, Ian N. Whitehead, Harald Quintus-Bosz, Gerhard Pawelka, Jesse Ambrosina

Patent number: 8747282Abstract: A process is disclosed for enabling an operator to exercise on an exercise device. The process includes measuring a range of movement of the operator during exercising on the exercise device for generating an electronic range of movement data. A strength is measured of the operator during exercising on the exercise device for generating an electronic strength data. An electronic program is designed based on the electronic range of movement data and the electronic strength data. The electronic program is stored in an electronic media. The electronic program is displayed as a moving scale on a screen for instructing the operator to exercise at the same rate as the moving scale to complete the exercise in a timely and controlled matter.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2012Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Inventors: Michael G. Lannon, Mary Obana, Carl R. Spoeth, Jr., Ian N. Whitehead, Jeffrey A. Pearson, Jonathan S. Hazelwood, Joshua J. Roman, David L. Peterman

Patent number: 8105207Abstract: An apparatus and method is disclosed for enabling an operator to exercise comprising a frame with a load positioned on the frame to provide a resistive force. A press is positioned on the frame for displacement by the operator. A linkage joins the load with the press for displacing the load upon displacement of the press by the operator. A display is provided for inputting and outputting data. A sensor is positioned on the frame for measuring a displacement and a speed of the linkage. A memory storage is provided for storing data. A processor communicates with the display and the sensor and the memory storage for processing data. The processor transfers data to the display for providing an exercising instruction to the operator. The processor receives data from the sensor for processing the performance of the exercising instruction by the operator. The processor transfers data to the memory storage for saving the performance of the exercising instruction by the operator.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2005Date of Patent: January 31, 2012Inventors: Michael G. Lannon, Mary O. Lannon, Carl R. Spoeth, Jr., Ian N. Whitehead, Harald Quintus-Bosz, Gerhard Pawelka, Jesse Ambrosina
