Patent number: 7815552Abstract: Aspects of the present invention involve an exercise device configurable to allow a user to perform various exercises. The exercise devices include an adjustable bench assembly connected with a frame supporting adjustable arm and cable-pulley assemblies providing a user interface with a resistance system. In some embodiments of the invention, the adjustable bench assembly includes a bench seat and a pivotal back support supported on an adjustable bench frame. The exercise devices also utilize various configurations of adjustable arm assemblies that are selectively positionable for numerous exercises and to suit a user's particular body size and shape. Other embodiments of the exercise devices include a resistance system with a transmission supporting a plurality of resistance packs. The transmission allows a user to conveniently engage any number of resistance packs to change the resistance level for a particular exercise.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2005Date of Patent: October 19, 2010Assignee: Nautilus, Inc.Inventors: Ryan R.

Publication number: 20100154601Abstract: A handle body for a ratcheting tool has an ergonomic shape adapted to receive the palm of a user's hand. The handle has an elongated inner core with an outwardly extending midportion. The core is surrounded by an encasing having a substantially convex profile which slopes downward toward the ratcheting mechanism. Substantially near the apex of the protruded midportion is an orifice for receiving a torsion bar to provide more torque. The handle further has a female end opposite the ratcheting mechanism end for extending the length of the tool.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2009Publication date: June 24, 2010Applicant: MERIDIAN INTERNATIONAL CO., LTD.Inventor: BRENT CHRISTOPHER

Publication number: 20100075812Abstract: An exercise device employing side-by-side pivotally supported moving surfaces. In one particular example, an exercise device employs a first belt deployed about a front roller and a rear roller and an adjacent second belt deployed about a front roller and a rear roller. The rear of the belts in the area of the rear rollers are pivotally secured and the front of the belts in the area of the front roller are adapted to reciprocate in an up and down motion during use. In some implementations, the moving surfaces include an interconnection structure such that a generally downward movement of one surface is coordinated with a generally upward movement of the other surface. In other implementations, the moving surfaces are operably associated with one or more resistance elements that effect the amount of force required to pivot or actuate the moving surfaces.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 24, 2009Publication date: March 25, 2010Applicant: Nautilus, Inc.Inventors: Gary Piaget, Brent Christopher, Brain R. Cook, Douglas A. Crawford, Edward L. Flick, Eric D. Golesh, Ben Monette, Randal Potter, Todd Singh, Matt Rauwerdink, Patrick A. Warner, Bradley J. Smith

Publication number: 20060189462Abstract: The exercise devices disclosed herein are configurable to allow a user to perform various exercises. The exercise device can include an adjustable bench assembly connected with a frame supporting a cable-pulley assembly providing a user interface with a resistance system. A user can interface with an actuation component to pull resistance cables against resistance from the resistance system. Various exercise accessories can be provided that are easily connected with and removed from the exercise device to allow a user to perform different exercises. Some examples of exercise accessories are used to configure the exercise device for squat, abdominal, leg extension, leg curl, and arm curl exercises. The frame can also be configured to selectively place the exercise device in a stationary operating configuration supported by the frame on a support surface and a storage configuration wherein the exercise device is rollingly supported on the support surface by wheels.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 13, 2006Publication date: August 24, 2006Applicant: Nautilus, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey Pearson, Terrence Joehnk, Eric Golesh, Edward Flick, Matthew Rauwerdink, Brent Christopher, Ryan Dibble
