  • Publication number: 20240307730
    Abstract: An exercise device includes a resistance unit having a connecting gear. It further includes a cable. It further includes an arm that routes the cable to an actuator. The arm is rotatable relative to the resistance unit about the connecting gear, the arm having a central axis. The arm includes a control that mechanically disengages a locking mechanism from the connecting gear. The control is activated by an activation force substantially directed either toward the central axis of the arm, along a length of the arm, or about the central axis. The activation force is mechanically converted into linear force along the arm that disengages the locking mechanism from the connecting gear.

  • Publication number: 20240108939
    Abstract: A weight training machine comprises: a motor; a line that is tensioned by the motor; a spool that takes up the line, wherein the spool includes a flange wherein the flange defines a capture region for the line; and a line guide adjacent to the spool, wherein the line guide prevents the line from persistently escaping from the capture region for the line.
