Abstract: An exercise apparatus that is stowable in a containment space formed by an article of furniture. The exercise apparatus may be deployed from a storage position within the containment space to a ready-to-use position. An electronic console for the exercise apparatus may be deployed to a ready-to-use position for use in conjunction with the exercise apparatus. The electronic console may be placed into a storage position when the exercise apparatus is stowed in the containment space so as not to interfere with the normal use of the article of furniture. The article of furniture may further comprise a component that is moveable to reveal a grasping member for use in conjunction with the exercise device.

Abstract: This Mid-deck Hinged Treadmill Deck allows the deck of a treadmill to fold into small spaces which is useful to any use where space is limited. A few examples of such uses or applications are treadmills that fold under desk tops or treadmills that fold into furniture or treadmills that fold out of wall fixtures. The smaller volume required to box, ship and store a Mid-deck Hinged Treadmill also lowers freight and storage costs simply because more units will fit into a shipping container or warehouse space. To function properly the Mid-deck Hinged Treadmill Deck requires a rear mechanism that loosens the rear roller when it is being folded or unfolded and then locks or tightens the rear treadmill roller when it is used.
