Abstract: A multimotion exercise bicycle capable of providing a cardiovascular exercise simultaneously with an upper body weight training exercise. The cardiovascular exercise is accomplished by a pedaling movement connected to a resistance means. The upper body exercise is accomplished by a pushing or a pulling movement of a handlebar and arm setup connected to a disk which is further connected to a cable attached to a weight bearing platform. The weight of the user provides the resistance for the upper body movement. The difficulty level of the upper body movement is adjustable by changing the location of the handlebars relative to the disk and by changing where the cable attaches to the disk. As the user performs these exercises simultaneously, the invention allows the user to burn more calories and reduce work-out time in half.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a standup exercise apparatus that simulates lateral rock climbing with arm exercise. More particularly, the present invention relates to an exercise machine having separately supported pedals for the feet and arm exercise coordinated with the motion of the feet. Each pedal follows a separate elongate curve with lateral movement. As one pedal moves downward on the inside portion of one pedal curve, the other pedal moves sideways upward following the outer portion of the other pedal curve. A pair of cranks rotate in opposite directions when driven by the pedal movement. The orientation of the pedal curves is adjustable to exercise leg muscles differently. Arm exercise is positioned above the shoulders of an operator to simulate rock climbing and is coordinated with the foot pedal movements.

Abstract: A handle toss training apparatus can be utilized to aid in improving a person's balance, coordination, and skills respective to a maneuver commonly referred to as a handle pass. The handle toss training apparatus includes a balancing board with a base. The base provides a rotational, a rolling, and a pitch motion for the balancing board. A handle is fastened to a wall via a cable. Tension for the handle is created by the specific material used for fabrication of the cable or by a variable weight system.

Abstract: A surfing exerciser includes a seat, a seat frame, a chassis, a swing device, and a torsion spring. The seat is secured on the seat frame. The swing device includes an upper freewheel, a lower freewheel, a Z-shaped swivel shaft, a small pulley shaft, and a belt. The Z-shaped swivel shaft includes a lower swivel shaft, an upper swivel shaft, and a connecting board. The lower swivel shaft is fixed to a lower surface of the connecting board. The upper swivel shaft is fixed to an upper surface of the connecting board. The axis of the lower swivel shaft obliquely intersects with the axis of the upper swivel shaft. By the rotation inertia of the upper freewheel and the lower freewheel, the seat of the present invention is driven to move up and down as well as left and right for providing surfing or horse riding simulation.

Abstract: A vertical exercise apparatus having overhead and waist high support rails capable of supporting the users body weight for use in conditioning upper body and lower body muscle groups. A kit having overhead and waist high support bars with attachment clamps that attach to a conventional exercise bike so as to convert the conventional exercise bike into a vertical exercise apparatus for use in conditioning upper body and lower body muscle groups.

Abstract: A recumbent bicycle for use by disabled users. The bicycle includes a seat unit that is adjustable in both the horizontal direction and in the vertical direction as well as a pedal unit that has a motor for controlling both the time and rotational speed of pedals. Straps are located to hold the user in the seat unit. The pedals are oversized with respect to the user's feet and have a heel-engaging ledge as well as straps to hold the user's feet on the pedals.

Abstract: The leg exercise device of the present invention is provided a base assembly for supporting an adjustable handle assembly and a footplate support assembly. The handle assembly has a pair of tubular support members secured at a lower end adjacent the center of the base assembly at an angle between 45 degrees and 90 degrees. The handle assembly also includes a U-shaped handle bar having a pair of arms that are telescopically received within the tubular support members, and locking for adjustably securing the handle bar to the tubular support members. A footplate support assembly is secured to the tubular support members for rotatably supporting two footplates for independent pivotal movement on an axis above the center of the base assembly.

Abstract: A leg exercise device for use with an office chair including a back, a seat, and a seat support. The leg exercise device includes a leg exercise mechanism for use by a user while seated on the office chair to exercise the user's legs, and a rigid connection mechanism extending from the leg exercise mechanism for detachably and rigidly connecting the leg exercise mechanism to the seat support of the office chair.

Abstract: A stationary exercise machine includes a system for electronically controlling a pedal resistance so as to simulate the riding of a road-going bicycle. The exercise machine includes a control system that monitors pedal velocity and that controls the resistive load generated by an electronically-controlled resistance mechanism. In one example, an electromagnetic device may vary a resistive load placed on a flywheel, which, in turn, varies the pedal resistance experienced by a user. When the user increases the pedal velocity, the resistance mechanism increases the resistive load. When the user decreases the pedal velocity, the resistance mechanism decreases the resistive load. In another example, the resistance mechanism varies the resistive load based on a gear selection by the user. The control system may also take into account other factors, such as the grade of the simulated ride, simulated wind resistance, or other frictional forces when calculating the resistive load.

Abstract: A delayed coking process for making substantially free-flowing coke, preferably shot coke. A coker feedstock, such as a vacuum residuum, is heated in a heating zone to coking temperatures then conducted to a coking zone wherein volatiles are collected overhead and coke is formed. A low molecular weight additive is added to the feedstock prior to it being heated in the heating zone, prior to its being conducted to the coking zone, or both.
