  • Patent number: 6342042
    Abstract: The apparatus is a foot exerciser which swings the feet with an electric motor driven rotating cam with holes spaced at different distances from the drive shaft. The cam has a drive link attached at one of the holes and the drive link is also attached to one swinging arm of a parallelogram structure to which an oscillating foot cushion is attached. Moving the drive link attachment between holes on the rotating cam or between several holes along the length of the swinging arm changes the amplitude of oscillation of the foot cushion.
