Patent number: 8475346Abstract: A storable exercise apparatus for home use. The apparatus includes an upright tower, a base structure, a bench frame, and a bench attached to the bench frame. A set of flexible pull lines coupled to a resilient spring system are carried within the tower structure. The user exercises by pulling the pull lines against the bias of the spring system. The grips for the pull lines are mounted at the top of the tower and generate significant tipping force on the tower when the apparatus is in use. To prevent tipping, the bench frame has pivotal and load-transmitting connections with the tower structure; the tower is stabilized by the weight of the user on the bench. The bench may be placed in either a raised or lowered position, and can be stored by collapsing and pivoting it so that it abuts the tower vertically.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2006Date of Patent: July 2, 2013Assignee: Stamina Products, Inc.Inventors: Kevin Gerschefske, Juliu Horvath, Lee San-Ping, Marjolein Brugman

Patent number: 6231489Abstract: An exercise device comprising a frame structure constructed and arranged to be supported in an operative position on a horizontal surface so as to extend longitudinally therealong. An exercise support is fixedly mounted on one longitudinal end of the frame structure in a position spaced above the horizontal surface when the frame structure is supported thereon in an operative position. The exercise support is constructed and arranged to enable a user to engage the user's feet with the exercise support or grip the user's hands on the exercise support. A seat is carried on the one end portion of the frame structure in longitudinally spaced relation with respect to the exercise support. A plurality of rollers made of yieldable material is rotatably supported on the frame structure in an upwardly arched array extending longitudinally upwardly from the seat and arching downwardly toward an opposite longitudinal end of the frame structure to rollingly support a user thereon.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 1999Date of Patent: May 15, 2001Assignee: Stamina Products, Inc.Inventors: Robert W. McBride, Newton Lin, Marjolein Brugman
