  • Patent number: 5056777
    Abstract: An exercise machine is disclosed, in which there is a frame, an exercise portion moveable with respect to the frame, weights raisable with respect to the frame, and a cable connecting the weights to the exercise portion. The force transmission mechanism between the weights and the exercise portion involves first and second pivot points mounted to the frame and spaced apart from each other in a plane substantially parallel to and spaced from the plane of movement of the exercise portion, and a third pivot point mounted to the exercise portion and moveable therewith. The cable is connected at one end to the frame, passing around one of the first and second pivot points, then to and passing around the third pivot point, then to and passing around the other of the first and second pivot points, thus defining a triangle with the third pivot point constituting a moveable apex, and then connecting at its other end to the weights.
