Patent number: 11420087Abstract: A device for use with an exerciser device, such as a reformer, which permits adjustment of a resistance system, even when connected to a resistance source, by selectively relieving a resistance force imparted on the resistance adjustment system when changing a resistance and automatically reengaging the resistance force when exercising. A strain relief is coupled to a linkage between the resistance source and a resistance adjuster. When engaged, the strain relief selectively reduces the resistance force transmitted through the linkage to the resistance adjuster to permit movement of the resistance adjuster relative to a purchase. When disengaged the strain relief permits transmission of the resistance force through the linkage to the resistance adjuster.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2020Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: ROCKIT BODY PILATES, LLCInventor: Judith Aronson

Patent number: 11103737Abstract: In one aspect of the present exercise machine, an assembly is attached to the end of a reformer, where the assembly comprises a seat mechanism and a pedal mechanism. The seat mechanism has a seat, a bracket supporting the seat, and a height adjustment system, where activation of the height adjustment system permits selective adjustment and locking of the height of the seat and the bracket by restricting travel of the seat and bracket to a slanted path that is slanted relative to the vertical. The pedal mechanism has an axle, a first pedal arm with a first pedal, and a second pedal arm with a second pedal. The pedal mechanism is located directly beneath the seat when the seat mechanism is in a lowest position and partially exposed in a higher position.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2019Date of Patent: August 31, 2021Assignee: ROCKIT BODY PILATES, LLCInventors: Judith Aronson, Alan Crawford

Publication number: 20140141948Abstract: Some embodiments are directed to an exercise apparatus having a frame comprising a first end, a second end and two generally horizontal frame members extending from the first end to the second end, a carriage supported by the horizontal frame members, the carriage being configured to translate along at least a portion of a length of the horizontal frame members and having a planar support surface, a first set of springs supported by the carriage, the first set of springs being configured to extend toward at least the first end of the frame, and a convertible platform positioned adjacent to at least one of the first and second ends of the frame. A vertical height of the convertible platform is adjustable from a first, platform or carriate height position to at least a second, chair position relative to a ground surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 17, 2013Publication date: May 22, 2014Applicant: ROCKIT BODY PILATES, LLCInventors: Judith Miriam ARONSON, Joshua Lev TARGOWNIK, Nicholas John SAMPSON, Spencer Lee MACKAY, Robert LaVenture FLETCHER
