Abstract: The exercise machine of the present invention is comprised of articulated arms which can be moved between retracted cocked positions and extended punching positions in order to simulate the throwing of a punch. The upper portions of the arms are in the form of parallelogram linkages which allow them to be moved between extended and retracted positions at their point of connection with the body of the machine. A shoulder, which rotates about the post which supports the machine activates the parallelogram linkages so as to extend the arm attached to the side of the shoulder which is moved forward and retract the arm on the side of the shoulder which is moved rearward. A motor, which causes the shoulder to rotate is activated by a control system. A microprocessor associated with the control system permits the machine to be preprogrammed to throw a series of punches in particular combinations to give the appearance of an actual boxer.

Abstract: The machine includes a roll case for positioning and conveying a package to be wrapped into position. In the first position, paper is folded along the front of the package and stapled. The package is then conveyed to a second position during which time the paper is dispensed onto the top and two sides of the package and stapled along the sides. After the package comes to rest in its second position, the paper is cut, folded and stapled along the back side of the package to produce a package which is neatly wrapped with paper on its top and four sides.
