  • Patent number: 5484368
    Abstract: A multi-function pull bar for performing a variety of body exercises in chest-expanding and in developing strength in the arm, neck and legs, comprises a hollow main bar body having an extensible dual sleeve tube structure and an elastic cord pull device elastically stretchably located inside the main bar body and having the free ends of two pull cords leading out respectively from the two end housings of the main body. At each end of the main bar body is provided a housing, inside the housings are pulley assemblies for holding and guiding the two pull cords. The two pull cords of the cord pull device are connected at the free ends thereof respectively to a hook and between the two hooks is removably mounted a flexible grip belt or a rigid grip bar. On the main bar body may be attached a removably sleeve cover whereby it allows only the hook end of the pull cords to be exposed out.

  • Patent number: 4726581
    Abstract: A novel exerciser which simulates the exercise obtained while climbing stairs includes a frame body, a fixed step, a handle member and a pair of shaft supporting stands. A chain sprocket assembly has parallel upper and lower drive shafts rotatably supported on the supporting stands, two pairs of sprockets mounted on the drive shafts, a pair of chains wound around the two pairs of chain wheels, and a plurality of equi-spaced movable steps connected to the chains. A speed reduction brake system makes use of the hydraulic resistance to apply a resistance force to reduce the speed of the chains. A control device regulates the resistance force being applied.
