  • Patent number: 7771329
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a strength training exercise device that can be packaged in a substantially pre-assembled manner and that can be reoriented between a packaged position and a use position without the use of tools. The strength training device includes a frame, a resistance assembly, at least one exercise station, and a cable and pulley system linking the resistance assembly to the at least one exercise station. The frame includes a base portion having a stability member that can be moved between a packaged position and a use position. Similarly, an exercise station can be moved between a packaged position and a use position to facilitate packaging and shipping of the strength training device in a substantially pre-assembled manner. The cable and pulley system can link the resistance assembly to the at least one exercise station when the strength training device is in the packaged position.

  • Publication number: 20090105052
    Abstract: In one example, a strength training system includes a folding frame having a central sub-frame and first and second lateral sub-frames, and pivoting cross members pivotally coupling the central sub-frame to at least one of the first and second lateral sub-frames, the folding frame being configured to move between an unfolded position and a folded position in which the first and second lateral sub-frames are generally parallel in the unfolded position. The strength training system also includes a strength training assembly coupled to the folding frame. The strength training system may include a pulley machine that includes pulleys and cables. In at least one example, the pulleys and cables may be secured to the folding frame in a pre-assembled manner. Further, in at least one example, the strength training system may be assembled without the use of tools.
