The lower frame 1 is secured to the upper frame 2. As a result, the lower frame 1 and upper frame 2 provide structural support for the present invention. The upper frame 2 extends upwards away from the lower frame 1. Consequently, the lower frame 1 and upper frame 2 create a rectangular shape as seen from the front in FIG. 2. The upper frame 2 is movably connected to the lower frame 1 limited to one degree of motion. Accordingly, the upper frame 2 can move upwards and downwards while connected to the lower frame 1. The resistance pod 3 is secured to the upper frame 2. Thus, the resistance pod 3 is adjusted in height along with the upper frame 2. The resistance pod 3 moves horizontally along the upper frame 2. So, the resistance pod 3 can be adjusted in position in two degrees of motion with respect to the upper frame 2 and lower frame 1. The resistance pod 3 extends outwards perpendicularly from the upper frame 2. As a result, the resistance pod 3 is positioned away from the upper frame 2 to prevent interference as the resistance pod 3 is utilized.
In reference to FIG. 1, the plurality of feet 11 is terminally secured to the plurality of horizontal base supports 12. The plurality of feet 11 is designed with a sturdy material with a soft surface designed to grip the surface positioned below. Consequently, the plurality of feet 11 provides the present invention with four support areas with grip to ensure the present invention stays positioned as desired. The plurality of horizontal base supports 12 is positioned parallel to each other. The plurality of horizontal base supports 12 is a long rectangular shaped member. Accordingly, the plurality of horizontal base supports 12 connects the plurality of feet 11 to create a base with two spaced lines. The plurality of vertical base supports 13 secures perpendicularly to the plurality of horizontal supports. The plurality of vertical base supports 13 is a long rectangular shaped member. Thus, the plurality of vertical base supports 13 provides a supporting structure that extends upwards. The plurality of vertical base supports 13 creates an upside-down T-shape with the plurality of vertical base supports 13. The plurality of vertical base supports 13 secures terminally to the base support connector 14. So, the base support connector 14 holds the two vertical base supports together to connect all the components of the lower base into one structure. The plurality of vertical base supports 13 is a hollow structure with a curved rectangular cross-sectional shape. As a result, the plurality of vertical base supports 13 can receive a structure due to the hollow structure and cross-sectional shape.
Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the plurality of feet 11 is a rectangular box shape. Consequently, the plurality of feet 11 flat provides a large amount of surface to contact the ground below with the flat side of the rectangular box shape. The plurality of feet 11 is a hollow structure with one open face. Accordingly, the plurality of feet 11 holds fits around the plurality of horizontal base supports 12 creating a level base. The plurality of feet 11 secures around the terminal ends of the plurality of horizontal base supports 12. The plurality of horizontal base supports 12 comprises a plurality of horizontal base support bolts 121 and a plurality of horizontal base support holes 122. The plurality of vertical base supports 13 comprises a plurality of vertical base support bolts 131, a plurality of vertical base support holes 132, a securing knobs 133, and a motorized system 134. The securing knobs 133 is a threaded circular knob that tightens and loosens to lock in the upper frame 2 within the lower frame 1. The motorized system 134 is an electrical mechanism that automatically assists lifts and lowers the upper frame 2 within the lower frame 1 as desired. The motorized system 134 further comprising a plurality of buttons 135. The plurality of buttons 135 controls the direction the upper frame moves with respect to the lower frame. As a result, the two buttons of the plurality of buttons can move the upper frame upwards and downwards when pressed.
Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 2, the plurality of horizontal base support holes 122 traverses vertically through the surface of the plurality of horizontal base supports 12. The plurality of horizontal base support holes 122 is a circular shaped hole with a threaded inner wall. Thus, the plurality of base support holes creates an opening on the top surface of the plurality of horizontal base support holes 122. The plurality of horizontal base support holes 122 is positioned equidistant from the midpoint length of the plurality of horizontal base supports 12. So, the plurality of horizontal base support holes 122 is centered along the plurality of horizonal base supports. The plurality of horizontal base support bolts 121 fastens within the plurality of horizontal base support holes 122. As a result, the plurality of horizontal base support bolts 121 is tightened within the plurality of horizontal base support holes 122 by rotating. The plurality of horizontal base support bolts 121 secures the plurality of vertical base supports 13 to the plurality of horizontal base supports 12 Consequently, the plurality of vertical base supports 13 is positioned centrally along the plurality of base supports creating a T-shape as seen from the side.
In reference to FIG. 2, the plurality of vertical base support holes 132 traverses horizontally through the plurality of vertical base supports 13. The plurality of base support holes is a circular shaped hole with a threaded inner wall. Accordingly, the plurality of vertical base support holes 132 creates an opening on both sides of the plurality of vertical base supports 13. The plurality of vertical base support holes 132 is positioned along the lower terminal end of the plurality of vertical base supports 13. Thus, the plurality of vertical base support holes 132 is close to the end positioned near the plurality of horizontal base supports 12. The plurality of vertical base support bolts 131 fastens within the plurality of vertical base support holes 132. So, the plurality of vertical base support bolts 131 is tightened within the plurality of horizontal base support holes 122 by rotating. The plurality of vertical base support bolts 131 secures the base support connector 14 to the plurality of vertical base supports 13. As a result, the plurality of vertical base supports 13 is connected and supported along the bottom creating the lower frame 1 structure.
In reference to FIG. 3, the securing knobs 133 extends perpendicularly from the plurality of vertical base supports 13. The securing knobs 133 is parallel with the plurality of horizontal base supports 12. Consequently, the securing knobs 133 creates a right angle with the plurality of vertical base supports 13 allowing it to move in and out of the plurality of vertical base supports 13 perpendicularly. The securing knobs 133 rotates clockwise to create a support force on the upper frame 2. The securing knobs 133 rotates clockwise to release the support force on the upper frame 2. Accordingly, the securing knobs 133 rotates to move inwards or outwards of the plurality of vertical base supports 13 creating and releasing a supporting force on a member positioned within the plurality of vertical base supports 13. The securing knobs 133 is a cylindrical shape. Thus, the cylindrical shape can be turned in place easily.
In reference to FIG. 2, the motorized system 134 mechanically moves the upper frame 2 upwards with respect to the lower frame 1. So, the motorized system 134 utilizes a motor and gear system to raise the upper frame 2 to adjust the upper frame 2 to a desired height by providing power to the motor to create a torque force. The motorized system 134 mechanically moves the upper frame 2 downwards with respect to the lower frame 1. As a result, the motorizes system lowers the upper frame 2 by providing power to the motor to create a torque force in the opposite direction of the torque force used to raise the upper frame 2.
In reference to FIG. 2, the plurality of extending frames 21 is a similar structure with a similar curved rectangular cross-section as the hollow structure of the plurality of vertical base supports 13. The plurality of extending frames 21 is a long rectangular shaped member. The plurality of extending frames 21 fits within the plurality of vertical base supports 13. Consequently, the plurality of extending frames 21 moves within the plurality of vertical base supports 13 with one degree of freedom. The plurality of extending frames 21 mechanically moves up and down within the plurality of vertical base supports 13. Accordingly, the plurality of extending frames 21 is mechanically connected to the motorized system 134. The plurality of extending frames 21 secures terminally to the extending frame connector rail 22. Thus, the plurality of extending frames 21 creates an upside-down bracket shape with the extending frame connector rail 22. The plurality of extending frames 21 comprises a plurality of level holes 211, a plurality of frame bolts, and a plurality of extending frame holes 213.
Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the plurality of level holes 211 traverses horizontally through the plurality of extending frames 21. The plurality of level holes 211 is a circular hole that creates an opening on the front and rear sides of the plurality of extending frames 21. So, the plurality of level holes 211 creates a variety of heights the upper frame 2 can be set to. The plurality of level holes 211 is positioned along the bottom half of the plurality of extending frames 21. As a result, the plurality of extending frames 21 can be positioned at the fully extended range or lowered around halfway extended. The plurality of level holes 211 is positioned equally along the plurality of extending frames 21. Consequently, the upper frame 2 is positioned at various heights with each height level the same distance apart. The plurality of level holes 211 receives a support force from the securing knobs 133. The securing knobs 133 tightens and loosens to lock into the plurality of level holes 211 to hold the upper frame 2 at the desired height.
Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, the plurality of extending frame holes 213 traverses horizontally through the plurality of extending frames 21. The plurality of extending frame holes 213 is circular shaped with a threaded inner wall. Accordingly, the plurality of extending frame holes 213 creates an opening on both sides of the plurality of extending frames 21. The plurality of extending frame holes 213 traverses through the plurality of extending frames 21 perpendicular to the plurality of level holes 211. Thus, the plurality of extending frame holes 213 is positioned on the wider sides of the plurality of extending frames 21. The plurality of extending frame holes 213 is positioned terminally along the plurality of extending frames 21 opposite the plurality of level holes 211. So, the plurality of extending frame holes 213 does not interfere with the plurality of level holes 211. The plurality of extending frame bolts 212 fastens within the plurality of extending frame holes 213. As a result, the plurality of extending frame bolts 212 is tightened within the plurality of extending frame holes 213 by rotating. The plurality of extending frame bolts 212 secures the extending frame connector rail 22 to the plurality of extending frames 21. Consequently, the extending frame connector rail 22 creates an upper connection between the plurality of extending frames 21 on either end.
In reference to FIG. 4, the resistance pod 3 is a circular shape. The resistance pod 3 is a short cylindrical housing that houses various mechanical components and magnetic components to create a resistive force. The plurality of handles 31 is rotatably secured to the resistance pod 3. Accordingly, the plurality of handles 31 moves in a circular motion around a central axis on the surface of the resistance pod 3. The plurality of handles 31 rotates simultaneously. Thus, the plurality of handles 31 equally distributes the resistive force when rotated, causing each handle to move in conjunction with the other handle, mechanically connected at the pivot point of each handle. The plurality of handles 31 is mechanically coupled to the plurality of magnets 34. So, the plurality of magnets 34 creates a resistive force on the plurality of handles 31 as the plurality of handles 31 is rotated. The plurality of magnets 34 is positioned within the resistance pod 3.
Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the resistance knob 32 is a cylindrical structure. The resistance knob 32 controls the amount of resistance created by the plurality of magnets 34. The resistance knob 32 is secured to the resistance pod 3. As a result, the resistance knob 32 is easily accessible. The resistance knob 32 rotates along the central axis of the resistance knob 32. Consequently, the resistance knob 32 rotates clockwise and counterclockwise while staying in place along the resistance pod 3. The resistance knob 32 adjusts the plurality of magnets 34. Accordingly, the resistance knob 32 controls the amount of resistance force created by the plurality of magnets 34 when the resistance knob 32 is rotated.
Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the upper frame connection 35 secures the resistance pod 3 to the extending frame connector rail 22. The upper frame connection 35 is a bracket shaped clamp creates a tension to hold onto the extending frame connector rail 22 without restricting horizontal motion along the extending frame connector rail 22. The upper frame connection 35 slides horizontally along the extending frame connector rail 22. Thus, the resistance pod 3 can be adjusted horizontally along the upper frame 2.
Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the display 33 is a rectangular shape. The display 33 is an electronic device that computes and displays information. The display 33 comprises a power source 331, a plurality of buttons 332, and an electronic screen 333. The power source 331, the plurality of buttons 332, and the electronic screen 333 is electrically connected. The electronic screen 333 is electronically connected to the plurality of magnets 34, plurality of handles 31, and resistance knob 32. So, the electronic screen 333 can receive information from the plurality of magnets 34, plurality of handles 31, and resistance knob 32 to calculate the amount of resistance force currently being created, the speed the plurality of handles 31 are being rotated, and the level of difficulty currently engaged. The electronic screen 333 monitoring the plurality of magnets 34, plurality of handles 31, and the resistance knob 32. The electronic screen 333 displays the information that is seen from outside of the resistance pod 3.
