  • Patent number: 11547921
    Abstract: A treadmill includes a frame and a running belt coupled to the frame. The running belt is configured to rotate relative to the frame. The treadmill includes a controller coupled to the frame, and at least one sensor coupled to the controller. The at least one sensor is configured to collect information regarding a rotation of the running belt and a use of the treadmill by a user including a cadence, a ground contact time, and a stride length of the user of the treadmill. The treadmill further includes a display device coupled to the frame. The display device is configured to display the collected information regarding the rotation of the running belt, the cadence, the ground contact time, and the stride length of the user of the treadmill. At least one light source is configured to selectively emit a light regarding the treadmill.

  • Patent number: 11517806
    Abstract: A treadmill includes a frame. A running belt is coupled to the frame so that the running belt is adapted for rotation relative to the frame. At least one sensor is adapted for collecting parameter information regarding the experience of a user of the treadmill. The parameter information is selected from the group consisting of the user's heart rate, total expended calories, stride length, stride force, cadence, pace, distance, resistance level, incline level, carver count, carver cadence, step count, ground contact time, relative position within a race, and relative position on the treadmill. The treadmill also includes at least one light source that is adapted to selectively communicate information to an instructor relating to the parameter.

  • Patent number: 5316156
    Abstract: A display rack having a foundation consisting of a back, top, bottom and sides and a core which can be folded to fit within the foundation creating multiple shelves within the rack. The core is assembled within the rack through the use of ears and slots without the need of screws, snaps, clamps, buttons, or the like to hold the assembled structure together. The shelves of the rack may be separated by a divider which also is assembled within the foundation through the inner connection of the ears provided on the divider fitting into slots cut and formed into the foundation. The sections of the rack which are created by the shelves and divider can be further sub-divided into compartments by the use of wings are formed in the core and are connected to the core by a pivot hinge which allows the wing to swing into the sections of the rack and form compartments.
