  • Publication number: 20040110612
    Abstract: A translational exercise machine with horizontal free planar motion, has a base frame, supporting an optional upper horizontal frame with seat and backrests supporting the user, and supporting an intermediate wheeled horizontal frame, supporting an upper wheeled frame. A vertical frame with horizontal handlebar with hand/foot grips is provided, which frame is optionally attached to the upper horizontal frame, or to the upper wheeled horizontal frame. With hand or foot use of the hand/foot grips, the user can propel self and wheeled frames in any horizontal motion. Exercise is caused by acceleration of the user and wheeled frame masses in a horizontal plane, and by braking assemblies between frames.

  • Publication number: 20020183176
    Abstract: A riding type exercise machine with horizontal free planar motion, has a base frame, supporting an intermediate wheeled horizontal frame, supporting an upper wheeled frame with seat pad, which supports the user. A horizontal bar frame with hand/foot grips is provided, which is pivotally attached to vertical posts, which are rigidly attached as a frame to a pipe, which pipe acts as the pivotal member for the attached said base frame to be raised to a vertical inactive parked position. With hand or foot use of the hand/foot grips, the user can propel himself in any horizontal motion. Exercise is caused by acceleration of the user and wheeled frame masses in a horizontal plane, and by braking apparatuses between frames.
