Retraction device having a tensioning mechanism
An exercise device includes a cable configured to extend from a housing between a retracted position and an extended position. A resistance device is positioned in the housing and configured to bias the cable into the retracted position. A tensioning mechanism is formed integrally with the housing.
1. An exercise device, comprising:
a first cable configured to extend from a housing between a retracted position and an extended position,
a second cable configured to extend from the housing between a retracted position and an extended position,
a tensioning mechanism configured to independently restrict movement of the first cable and the second cable, the tensioning mechanism comprising a first compression device and a first tensioning disk to compress the first compression device, the tensioning mechanism further comprising a second compression device and a second tensioning disk to compress the first compression device.
2. The device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a first moving disk that is compressed by the first compression device to restrict movement of the first moving disk, and
a second moving disk that is compressed by the second compression device to restrict movement of the second moving disk.
3. The device of claim 2 , wherein each cable is coupled to at least one of the respective compression device and the respective moving disk.
4. The device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a first movement bolt, wherein actuation of the first tensioning disk rotates the first movement bolt to compress the first compression device, and
a second movement bolt, wherein actuation of the second tensioning disk rotates the second movement bolt to compress the second compression device.
5. The device of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first compression device and the second compression device includes a spring.
6. The device of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first compression device and the second compression device includes a compressible foam.
