Variable resistance fitness chamber for rotational torque
View Patent ↗One example embodiment includes a resistance chamber for use in an exercise system. The resistance chamber includes a first chamber and a second chamber. The second chamber is configured to attach to the first chamber and rotate relative to the first chamber. The resistance chamber also includes a core rod. The core rod resides within the first chamber and the second chamber and is attached to the interior of the second chamber. The resistance chamber further includes a resistance tube, where at least of a portion the resistance tube is configured to be placed between the interior surface of the first chamber and the core rod.
1. A system for allowing a user to exercise, the system comprising:
a resistance chamber, wherein the resistance chamber includes:
a first chamber;
a second chamber, wherein the second chamber is configured to:
attach to the first chamber; and
rotate relative to the first chamber;
a core rod, wherein the core rod:
resides within the first chamber and the second chamber; and
is attached to the interior of the second chamber;
a resistance tube, wherein at least a portion of the resistance tube is configured to be placed between the interior surface of the first chamber and the core rod; and
an adjustment knob, wherein the adjustment knob:
is configured to change the resistance to rotation of the second chamber relative to the first chamber; and
includes one or more markings to indicate the resistance setting to a user;
a first ring;
a first handle, wherein the first handle:
is located at least partially within the interior of the first ring; and
is configured to rotate within the interior of the first ring;
a first ring attachment, wherein the first ring attachment is configured to attach the first ring to the first chamber;
a second ring;
a second handle, wherein the second handle:
is located at least partially within the interior of the second ring; and
is configured to rotate within the interior of the second ring; and
a second ring attachment, wherein the second ring attachment is configured to attach the second ring to the second chamber.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first ring attachment is configured to allow the first ring to swivel within the plane of the first ring.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second ring attachment is configured to allow the second ring to swivel within the plane of the second ring.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein:
the first ring includes:
a first layer, wherein the first layer is attached to the first ring attachment; and
a second layer, wherein the second layer is able to rotate freely with respect to the first layer;
wherein the first handle is attached to the second layer; and
the second ring includes:
a first layer, wherein the first layer is attached to the second ring attachment; and
a second layer, wherein the second layer is able to rotate freely with respect to the first layer;
wherein the second handle is attached to the second layer.
