  • Publication number: 20190105529
    Abstract: An exercise machine includes a frame for resting on the ground, and a footboard element which oscillates with respect to the frame about a first axis and a second axis which are mutually perpendicular. The exercise machine further includes a handgrip element which oscillates with respect to the frame in an oscillating manner about a first axis and a third axis which are mutually perpendicular. The footboard element and the handgrip element are functionally connected to each other in order to move in a substantially synchronous manner during the respective oscillation.

  • Patent number: 9682271
    Abstract: A gymnastic exercise machine, particularly for anaerobic auxotonic muscle training, that includes supporting footing that is provided with a movable frame that is associated with a folding seat, the movable frame being provided with a lever that can be actuated by a user located on the folding seat in order to move the movable frame with respect to the supporting footing with consequent folding of the folding seat in contrast with the action of the weight of the user, coarse adjustment elements being further provided which are associated with the movable frame in order to reduce or increase the force required to actuate the lever. The machine further includes fine adjustment mechanisms which are associated with the movable frame in order to reduce or increase the force required to actuate the lever.

  • Publication number: 20130137557
    Abstract: A machine for gymnastic exercises, particularly for exercising the abdominal muscles, comprising a supporting footing which is associated with a rolling track for a cradle-like structure which is integral with a seat provided with a sitting portion that is at least partly movable with respect to a backrest thereof; elements are provided for tilting the cradle-like structure which are connected kinematically to the sitting portion for the rolling of the cradle-like structure on the rolling track, as a consequence of the movement of the legs toward the upper body of the user, between an inactive position, in which the backrest is substantially oriented vertically, and a maximum effort position, in which the backrest is substantially reclined backwards, and vice versa.

  • Patent number: 8216116
    Abstract: A machine for gymnastic exercises, particularly for muscle stretching, comprising a supporting frame, a seat which is fixed with respect to the supporting frame, and a back rest which is pivoted to the supporting frame for moving the back rest between a position which is substantially inclined with respect to the seat and a position which is substantially perpendicular with respect to the seat, the machine further comprising a carriage which is slidingly associated with the supporting frame and is functionally connected to the back rest by way of kinematic connection elements for transferring the motion of the carriage to the back rest and/or vice versa.

  • Patent number: 8033967
    Abstract: A gym machine comprising a ground resting base, a structure for supporting a user which is associated with the resting base so that it can rotate about a rotation axis, at least one maneuvering body which is associated movably with the supporting structure and flexible elements which are stretched between the maneuvering body and the ground resting base, the supporting structure rotating about the rotation axis between a first configuration and a second configuration when a user supported by the structure moves the maneuvering body, applying to the maneuvering body an action which is opposite with respect to the action applied thereto by the flexible elements.
