  • Patent number: 7901334
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an exercise apparatus with an adjustable resistance assembly. The adjustable resistance assembly has a screw portion. An user can rotate an operating portion which is connected to one end of the screw portion to move the screw portion to drive a pushing portion toward a rotating member which is pivotally connected on the exercise apparatus. Simultaneously, the pushing portion drives an elastic member to cause deformation and make a friction surface of a resistance member which is connected on the elastic member gradually press the rotating member therefore increases friction resistance. When the user rotates the operating portion reversely, the screw portion is moved outward the rotating member and the elastic member recovered from the deformation thereby decreases the friction resistance relative to the rotating member.

  • Patent number: 7563205
    Abstract: A treadmill including a frame, an endless belt having an upwardly-exposed exercise section, a deck disposed underneath the exercise section of the belt, and a cushion assembly positioned between the deck and the frame for providing cushion in order to reduce high impact loads on the user's body. The cushion assembly comprises a lever having a first portion that is operably coupled to the deck and a second portion that is rotatably coupled to the frame. The cushion assembly also comprises a resilient member coupled to both the lever and the frame so that the resilient member resists rotation of the lever as the lever is rotated. The elastic deformation of the resilient member provides resistance to displacement of the deck and therefore creates a cushion effect on the user's feet, ankles and knees as the user's feet contact the belt.
