Abstract: An exercise device comprising a foot carriage slidably mounted on tracks, the tracks are held together parallel to one another and dual magnetic and elastic resistance elements provide opposition against the relative motion of the foot carriage. The foot carriage can be a frame carrying wheels and straddle mounted by a frame structure composed of hat shaped beams for which low-profile footrests are pivotally mounted.

Abstract: A miniaturized motor includes a DC motor, a worm, a pinion gear, a worm gear, at least one cluster gear, an output gear and an output shaft. The gears form a gear train extending from the DC motor to the output shaft. A boss stabilizes the pinion gear by extending downwardly from inside the cover. Acoustical chambers packed with grease suppress noise generated by the gear train. A PC board is also provided on the cover to energize the DC motor. The output shaft may drive either a product mover for beverage cans inside a vending machine or another type of electromechanical unit requiring the application of high torque in a small space. A cradle bearing inside a cover holds a hub of the worm and prevents the worm from bending, thus assuring a good mesh of the worm with the pinion gear. A nest encapsulates the worm, the pinion gear and the worm gear to ensure protection and structural integrity of the miniaturized motor within the small space.

Abstract: A compact miniature motor includes a DC motor, a worm gear, a pinion transfer gear, at least one cluster gear, an output gear, and an output shaft. A socket may be used to accept the output shaft. The gears form a gear train that wraps tightly around the DC motor in the shape of a capital letter J. Inverted trunnions stabilize the pinion transfer gear by extending longitudinally inside thereof. Acoustical chambers packed with grease suppress noise generated by the gear train. A PC board is also provided and has components for rectifying, filtering for constant DC, and modifying AC voltage before passing it to energize the DC motor. The output shaft may drive a product mover for beverage cans inside a vending machine or another type of electromechanical unit requiring the application of high torque.
