Patent number: 7892155Abstract: 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: GrantFiled: January 13, 2006Date of Patent: February 22, 2011Assignee: Nautilus, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey Alan Pearson, Terrence Joehnk, Eric D. Golesh, Edward L. Flick, Matthew Rauwerdink, Brent Christopher, Ryan R. Dibble

Publication number: 20110003668Abstract: A dumbbell is described including a handle having a grip and at least one end, an inner plate mounted on the handle adjacent the grip, in a fixed rotational orientation, a support plate rotationally mounted on the handle adjacent the inner plate, at least one collar rotationally mounted on the handle adjacent the support plate, and rotationally fixed with the support plate, a selector knob rotationally mounted on the handle adjacent the at least one collar, and rotationally fixed with the collar, a weight plate removably mounted on the handle adjacent the at least one collar, and a means for selectively securing the support plate to the inner plate to resist the rotation of the support plate, collar and selector knob with respect to the inner plate and handle.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2010Publication date: January 6, 2011Applicant: Nautilus, Inc.Inventors: Douglas A.

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
