Patent number: 7850577Abstract: A clutch mechanism may be positioned in engagement with a slave sprocket of a drive train and a hub of a flywheel to create a frictional engagement between the sprocket and the hub, and to establish a break-free force threshold. When the drive train is actuated in the forward direction, the slave sprocket and the hub may move together, and when the drive train is actuated in the rearward direction under the influence of a force greater than the break-free force threshold, the clutch mechanism may slip between the slave sprocket and the hub, allowing the slave sprocket and the flywheel to move independently of one another. The clutch mechanism may also include a spring tensioner whereby the break-free force may be adjusted.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2009Date of Patent: December 14, 2010Assignee: Nautilus, Inc.Inventors: Patrick Warner, Michael H. Harding, Mu-Chuan Wu, Andy Baker

Patent number: 7569001Abstract: An exercise bicycle including a frame having a seat and handlebars, a high-inertia flywheel having a hub at a center of rotation, the flywheel being rotatably supported on the frame at the hub, and a drive train including a drive sprocket, a crank arm attached to and extending from the drive sprocket, and a pedal attached to the crank arm, the drive train being rotatably supported by the frame. The drive train also includes a slave sprocket fixed to the flywheel at the hub, with the drive and slave sprockets connected in a direct-drive relationship, the drive train driveable in a forward and rearward directions to cause the flywheel to rotate. A clutch mechanism is positioned in engagement with the slave sprocket and the hub to create a frictional engagement between the sprocket and the hub, and to establish a break-free force threshold.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2001Date of Patent: August 4, 2009Assignee: Nautilus, Inc.Inventors: Patrick Warner, Michael H.

Publication number: 20050185061Abstract: This invention accomplishes these and other objectives with a self-photographing camera system having a camera (1) on a swivel base (2, 7, 23) with an electronic receiver (4, 26, 32) for receiving camera-directional input from an electronic transmitter (5, 27, 33) that is positioned on a photograph subject (6) that includes a potentially moving person or object. The electronic receiver is programmable to swivel the camera continuously in a direction that the electronic transmitter is positioned. Swivel direction can be universally horizontal and vertical or optionally horizontal. A wide selection of camera controls by a photograph subject can be included.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2004Publication date: August 25, 2005Inventor: Andy Baker
