  • Patent number: 5779601
    Abstract: A multi-station exercise machine in which each of the exercise stations is interconnected with a weight stack using a reeving system having corner frame with right and left wings at right angles to one another. High and low pull cables in the reeving system extend from the corner frame. The wings have butterfly and press stations at their outer end. The press station connects to the reeving system via a horizontal extension member which turns responsive to swinging of a press arm. An adjustment linkage permits the starting position of the press arm to be varied by operation of a lever at the press station. An adjustable bench with a leg exercising mechanism is optionally used at the press station as only a bench, or is used in a diagonal position at which the leg exercising mechanism is connected to the low pull cable.
