  • Patent number: 8007422
    Abstract: A device for an exercise machine comprising a base, forming at least one substantially flat supporting surface, at least one resistant load connected to the base, at least one seat for a user, being positioned in front of the supporting surface, connected to the base in such a way that it can move from a forward position to a back position relative to the supporting surface, the seat being connected to the resistant load for performing an exercise; the device being characterized in that it comprises at least one footplate which can be selectively connected to the base at the supporting surface by removable supporting means, at least one actuator portion connected to the supporting means being designated to generate a vibration for the footplate.

  • Patent number: 7905819
    Abstract: Described is a device for a gym machine comprising a frame (2), at least one resistant load (3) mounted on the frame having at least one coupling surface (4), at least one flexible cable (5) associated with the resistant load (3) for performing a physical exercise, the device being characterized in that it comprises at least one support (6) designed to be rigidly associated with the resistant load (3) at the coupling surface (4), at least one shaft (7) rotatably coupled to the support (6) on a first axis (8) at a first portion (9) and having a second portion (10) with a second, eccentric axis (11), power drive means (12) for rotationally driving the shaft (7) about the first axis (8), the shaft (7) being associated with the flexible cable (5) at the second portion (10) in such a way as to generate vibrations along the flexible cable (5).

  • Patent number: 7878951
    Abstract: Gymnastic machine (1) includes a frame (10), a slide (20) carried movable by the frame (10) along a given direction (D) from and to a starting station (30), with the slide (20) being suitable for coupling with a first limb in such a way as to guide it along the given direction (D) and to enable, in use, to control a scissor movement of the first limb with respect to a second limb retained at the starting station (30).

  • Patent number: 7867153
    Abstract: A gymnastic machine (1) includes a first frame (10), a first support member (22) carried by the first frame (10) by means of a guiding device (20) to be movable along at least one given direction (D), the first support member (22) being shaped to be interfaced with a first body region of a user and a bearing member (30) being rotatably supported by the first frame (10) around an axis (32) transverse to the given direction (D), the bearing member (30) being shaped to be interfaced to a second body region.
