  • Patent number: 11707646
    Abstract: An exercise device includes a base defining an inner volume and a top supported by the base, the top defining an aperture. The exercise device further includes a force sensor configured to measure force on the top and a motor disposed within the base and below the top, the motor including a cable extendable through the aperture. The exercise deice further includes a controller communicatively coupled to each of the force sensor and the motor. The controller is adapted to actuate the motor in response to forces applied to the top as measured by the force sensor. The controller may also actuate the motor in response to one or more additional parameters related to the speed or force with which the cable is manipulated (e.g., pulled by a user).

  • Publication number: 20230149761
    Abstract: An exercise device includes a housing and an internal frame disposed within the housing. The exercise device includes a dampening system that includes a dampening block coupled to a web of the internal frame disposed within the housing. The exercise device includes a motor having a motor casing and a shaft with the shaft supported and rotationally fixed by the dampening block. The exercise device may include a cable pulley coupled to the motor casing such that, when the motor is actuated, each of the motor casing and the cable pulley rotate to extend the cable from or retract the cable into the housing. Among other things, the dampening block attenuates vibrations produced by the motor during actuation, improving performance of the exercise device and enhancing user experience.
