  • Patent number: 7044898
    Abstract: A stretching exerciser includes a seat bar supported on a collapsible spring bar at a base in a backwardly tilted position. A back cushion is pivotally fastened with a top end of the seat bar and forwardly backwardly turnable relative to the seat bar. The back cushion is closely attached to the seat bar due to the effect of the gravity weight when receiving no external force. A seat is pivoted to the seat bar. An axle is adjustably mounted on a front side of seat bar to selectively support the seat between two elevational positions.

  • Patent number: 7044899
    Abstract: A mini-type exercise machine includes a base, a T-shaped strut pivotably connected to a front end of the base, a seat assembly mounted on the base, a pressing member pivotably connected to the seat assembly, and at least one damper mounted on each of the T-shaped strut and the pressing member for providing a resistance while any of the T-shaped strut and the pressing member pivots. The mini-type exercise machine of the present invention can be operated to perform various types of exercise so as to have multiple exercise effects by means of the T-shaped strut and the pressing member. In addition, the present invention is partly detachable and easily collapsible, such that the present invention can be partly dismantled into small parts and easily collapsed to be small-sized, thereby enabling the present invention to be easily pocketable.
