Publication number: 20230026251Abstract: An exercise system including a tower and a translatable and rotatable display is disclosed. The tower is a free-standing unit and includes a mast that supports the display at a sufficient height or elevation, for example above a front panel of the system's housing. A carriage assembly couples the display to the mast to enable translation of the display between two positions, and the display mount is further configured to enable rotation of the display between a portrait orientation and an landscape orientation when the display is in the second position. In some embodiments, rotation of the display is substantially inhibited by the system's housing, for example the front panel, when the display is in the first position.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2022Publication date: January 26, 2023Applicant: NAUTILUS, INC.Inventors: Jeffrey A. Tracy, Bryce C. Baker, Edana French, Ryan J. Pohl, Kevin M. Hendricks, Todd D. Anderson, Robert F. Michels, III, Marcus L. Marjama, Steven Rodden, James Li, Jeffrey A. Gettle, Edward L. Flick

Publication number: 20220401793Abstract: Described herein are embodiments of stationary exercise machines having reciprocating foot and/or hand members, such as foot pedals that move in a closed loop path. Some embodiments can include reciprocating foot pedals that cause a user's feet to move along a closed loop path that is substantially inclined, such that the foot motion simulates a climbing motion more than a flat walking or running motion. Some embodiments can further include reciprocating handles that are configured to move in coordination with the foot via a linkage to a crank wheel also coupled to the foot pedals. Variable resistance can be provided via a rotating air-resistance based mechanism, via a magnetism based mechanism, and/or via other mechanisms, one or more of which can be rapidly adjustable while the user is using the machine.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 4, 2022Publication date: December 22, 2022Applicant: NAUTILUS, INC.Inventors: Rasmey Yim, Marcus L. Marjama, Kevin M. Hendricks, Thomas H. Moran
