Motor-driven variable weight exercise device with modular chassis body
View Patent ↗The invention herein relates to a variable weight exercise machine comprising a motor driven carriage assembly that moves along a linear path creating a variable resistant force against which the user exerts an opposite force. The chassis body and frame of said device may be positioned horizontally or vertically, and having a design that can be modularly configured in coordination with accessory elements to achieve a variety of concentric or eccentric exercise movements.
1. A motor-driven variable weight exercise device with a modular frame and removably attachable components comprising:
a hollow chassis frame, one or more pin elements, a carriage element, and one or more accessory elements,
said hollow chassis frame having a left side, a right side, a top side, a bottom side, a first end, and a second end,
said hollow chassis frame having perforations therethrough on both its right and left sides,
said hollow chassis frame containing a linear actuator and motor drive located at its first end,
said perforations between said right and left sides of said chassis frame being in mirror locations of each other such that one of the one or more pin elements is sleevable therethrough between said right and left side mirror perforations at a perpendicular cross-section to the length of said chassis frame,
said hollow chassis frame being rotatable in a pivoting manner at its second end from horizontal to vertical positions,
said carriage element directly connected to said linear actuator and extending beyond the top surface of said hollow chassis frame,
said one or more accessory elements comprising one or more of the following: linear bars, handle elements, a bench, a seating element, a foot pad, cross-bars, or a support frame;
wherein each accessory element has perforations therethrough such that each said accessory element is removably attachable to said hollow chassis frame in a modular manner by interconnecting said accessory element to said hollow chassis frame by one of the one or more pin dements through matching perforations between them.
2. Said motor-driven variable weight exercise device with a modular frame and removably attachable components of claim 1 , further comprising one or more gusset elements, each said one or more gusset elements having perforations therethrough, each said one or more gusset elements removably connectable to said hollow chassis frame and to one or more support frame elements.
3. Said motor-driven variable weight exercise device with a modular frame and removably attachable components of claim 1 , wherein the exercise device is in remote communication with a software enabled digital device with a viewable screen interface.
4. Said motor-driven variable weight exercise device with a modular frame and removably attachable components of claim 1 , wherein the exercise device is in communication with a software enabled digital device.
5. Said motor-driven variable weight exercise device with a modular frame and removably attachable components of claim 1 , wherein the force exertion of said motor drive is translatable into viewable and readable data by preconfigured algorithmic software means.
6. Said motor-driven variable weight exercise device with a modular frame and removably attachable components of claim 1 , wherein the exercise device is controllable by a digital panel.
7. Said motor-driven variable weight exercise device with a modular frame and removably attachable components of claim 1 , wherein the cumulative weight of said hollow chassis frame, carriage, linear actuator, and motor drive is under 300 pounds in total, and wherein the length of said chassis frame is under 100 inches.
8. Said motor-driven variable weight exercise device with a modular frame and removably attachable components of claim 1 , wherein the length of said hollow chassis frame is under 100 inches.
