  • Patent number: 9144702
    Abstract: An apparatus for the development of upper body parts and muscles is disclosed. The apparatus includes a base on which is mounted a seat supported above the base and a forearm pad disposed forward of the seat and supported above the base. A pivoted lever is pivoted at a first end to a seat support, a second end of the lever extends past the forearm pad a distance and includes a weight supporting pin which extends vertically upward. A lifting device is selectively and pivotally attached to the pivoted lever forward of the forearm rest. A plurality of weights are selectively attached to the weight support pin to vary the amount of force required to use the lifting device and raise the weights. A variety of attachments are selectively affixed to the lifting device to exercise various body parts and muscles.

  • Patent number: 5358462
    Abstract: Two attachments are provided for an exercise apparatus of the type having a lever arm with an end pivotably connected to a base and a free end adapted to receive weights. A tower attachment provides a flexible tensile member connected at an end to the lever arm, with intermediate portions borne across elevated pulleys, and connectable at another end to various handles, by which a user can perform various pull-down and rowing exercises. A shoulder bar attachment has an elongated body connected at one end to the lever arm and having another end which accommodates the user's head and shoulders and which is provided with handles, allowing a user to perform various press and leg raise exercises.

  • Patent number: 4923195
    Abstract: An apparatus for the development of upper body parts and muscles is disclosed. The apparatus includes a base on which is mounted a seat supported above the base with an adjustable forearm pad which is adjustably disposed forward of the seat and supported above the base by an adjustable forearm pad support. A pivoted lever is pivoted at a first end adjacent the seat, a second end of the lever, extends past the forearm pad a distance and includes a weight supporting pin which extends vertically upward. A lifting device is selectively and pivotally attached to the pivoted lever, including mechanisms for adjusting the height and the forward or rearward position of the lifting device along the pivoted lever. A plurality of weights are selectively attached to the weight support pin to vary the amount of force required to use the lifting device and raise the weights. A variety of attachments are selectively affixed to the pivoted lever to exercise various body parts and muscles.
