Abstract

An adjustable exercise equipment system includes a post as part of an exercise machine; a trolley system for engagement with the post, the trolley system having a body forming a channel to receive the post; rollers supported by the body and to provide movement of the body along the post; and a receiver supported by the body, the receiver to engage with a user engageable device; the body and the of rollers allow for selective movement along the post as a user interacts with the user engageable device.

Claims (56)

1. A trolley system for engagement with a post of a selected exercise machine, the trolley system comprising:

a body forming a channel, the channel to receive the post therethrough;

a plurality of rollers supported by the body and configured to provide movement of the body along the post;

a receiver supported by the body, the receiver configured to engage with a user engageable device; and

a locking system configured to lock the body at a position along the post, the locking system having a pin to extend through one or more apertures along the post and a clamp attached to the body and having one or more hooks to engage with the pin such that body is releasably locked to the pin;

wherein the body and the plurality of rollers selectively allow for movement along the post as a user interacts with the user engageable device.

2. The trolley system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of rollers comprises:

a first plurality of rollers extending along a first portion of the body; and

a second plurality of rollers extending along a second portion of the body;

wherein the first plurality of rollers are configured to roll along a first surface of the post;

wherein the second plurality of rollers are configured to roll along a second surface of the post.

3. The trolley system of claim 2 , wherein the body further comprises:

a first side and a second side;

wherein the first plurality of rollers extend between the first side and the second side;

wherein the second plurality of rollers extend between the first side and the second side; and

wherein the channel is formed between the first side, the second side, the first plurality of rollers, and the second plurality of rollers.

4. The trolley system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a secondary attachment receiver extending from the body and having one or more ports to receive one or more secondary user engageable devices.

5. The trolley system of claim 4 , wherein the secondary attachment receiver further comprises:

one or more locking bolts rotatably engaged with the one or more ports to provide securement of the one or more secondary user engageable devices therein.

6. The trolley system of claim 1 , wherein the receiver further comprises:

a tubular opening to engage with a bar;

wherein the bar is a part of the user engageable device.

7. The trolley system of claim 1 , wherein the locking system further comprises:

a locking handle pivotally operable with the clamp such that the locking handle is configured to apply torque to the clamp to lock the clamp with the pin.

8. An adjustable exercise equipment system, comprising:

a post;

a trolley system for engagement with the post, the trolley system having:

a body forming a channel to receive the post;

a plurality of rollers supported by the body and configured to provide movement of the body along the post;

a receiver supported by the body, the receiver configured to engage with a user engageable device;

a locking system configured to lock the body at a position along the post, the locking system having a pin to extend through one or more holes along the post and a clamp attached to the body and having one or more hooks to engage with the pin such that body is locked to the pin;

wherein the body and the plurality of rollers allow for selective movement along the post as a user interacts with the user engageable device.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the trolley system further comprising:

a secondary attachment receiver extending from the body and having one or more ports to receive one or more secondary user engageable devices.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the secondary attachment receiver further comprises:

one or more locking bolts rotatably engaged with the one or more ports to provide securement of the one or more secondary user engageable devices therein.

11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the post is a vertical post.

12. The system of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of rollers comprises:

a first plurality of rollers extending along a first portion of the body; and

a second plurality of rollers extending along a second portion of the body;

wherein the first plurality of rollers are configured to roll along a first surface of the post;

wherein the second plurality of rollers are configured to roll along a second surface of the post.

13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the receiver further comprises:

a tubular opening to engage with a bar;

wherein the bar is part of the user engageable device.

14. The system of claim 8 , wherein the locking system further comprises:

a locking handle pivotally operable with the clamp such that the locking handle is configured to apply torque to the clamp to lock the clamp with the pin.

15. A trolley system for engagement with a post of a selected exercise machine, the trolley system comprising:

a body forming a channel, the channel to receive the post therethrough;

a plurality of rollers supported by the body and configured to provide movement of the body along the post;

a receiver supported by the body, the receiver configured to engage with a user engageable device; and

a locking system configured to lock the body at a position along the post, the locking system having a clamp coupled to the body and having one or more hooks to engage with the post such that body is releasably locked to the post;

wherein the body and the plurality of rollers selectively allow for movement along the post as a user interacts with the user engageable device.

16. The trolley system of claim 15 , wherein the locking system further comprises a locking handle pivotally operable with the clamp such that the locking handle is configured to apply torque to the clamp to lock the clamp with the post.

17. The trolley system of claim 15 , wherein the one or more hooks engages with an aperture of the post to releasably lock the body to the post.
