Abstract: A protective cover and system for detecting objects within or near an entrapment area on a treadmill or devices that incorporate a conveyor belt. A controller enables the treadmill to operate normally when no objects are detected within or near an entrapment area and is designed to stop the conveyor when an object is detected within or near the entrapment area.

Abstract: Treadmill protective cover and methods of use are disclosed herein. An example system includes a protective cover for a treadmill, a sensor associated with the treadmill or the protective cover, the sensor detecting when an object is near or within an entrapping area between the protective cover and a conveyor of the treadmill, and a controller configured to receive signals from the sensor, the controller allowing the conveyor to freely operate when no objects are sensed within the entrapping area and stopping the conveyor when an object is sensed within the entrapping area.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a gymnastic machine having a closed circuit sliding belt comprising a base structure, a sliding belt, sliding according to a sliding direction installed on the base structure upon which a user performs a gymnastic exercise, a supporting structure coupled to the base structure, a first and a second handle for supporting the user, coupled to the supporting structure, a resisting device wearable by the user, the gymnastic machine being characterized in that each of the first and second handles comprises a respective coupling member for coupling with the resisting device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a gymnastic machine (1, 1?, 1?, 1??, 1IV, 1V) of the type having a closed circuit sliding belt comprising a base structure (2, 2?, 2?), a sliding belt (22, 22?, 22?), sliding according to a sliding direction (X) installed on said base structure (2, 2?, 2?) upon which a user performs a gymnastic exercise, a supporting structure (3, 3?) coupled to said base structure (2, 2?, 2?), a first (31, 31?) and a second handle (32, 32?) for supporting said user, coupled to said supporting structure (3, 3?), a resisting device (5) wearable by the user, said gymnastic machine (1, 1?, 1?, 1??, 1IV, 1V) being characterized in that each of said first (31, 31?) and a second handle (32, 32?) comprises a respective coupling member (4, 4?) for coupling with said resisting device (5).
