Low Inertia Counterbalance Mechanism
View pageUS Patent:
47250542, Feb 16, 1988
Filed:
Nov 27, 1985
Appl. No.:
6/802846
Inventors:
Howard J. Solow - Nesconset NY
George F. Rehrl - Central Islip NY
George F. Rehrl - Central Islip NY
Assignee:
Lumex, Inc. - Bay Shore NY
International Classification:
A63B 2100
US Classification:
272130
Abstract:
A low inertia counterbalance mechanism for eliminating the effects of gravity on an upper body mass of a person secured in an input assembly of a trunk extension/flexion test, rehabilitation and exercise machine is disclosed. The mechanism disclosed does not add any appreciable inertia to the input assembly. A cam rotating on the same axis of rotation and mechanically connected to the input assembly comes in contact with a cable when the input assembly rotates downwardly. The cable at its bottom end is attached to a lever arm. The lever arm rotates upwardly when the cam comes in contact with the cable, and a constant force gas spring pivotally attached at its bottom end to an intermediate point on the lever arm is compressed when the lever arm pivots upwardly. This negates the increasing effects of gravity felt by the upper body mass of the person secured in the input assembly as the input assembly rotates downwardly. The top end of the spring is pivotally attached to a frame of the machine.
Leg Stabilization For A Trunk Extension/Flexion Test, Rehabilitation And Exercise Machine
View pageUS Patent:
47250569, Feb 16, 1988
Filed:
Nov 27, 1985
Appl. No.:
6/802523
Inventors:
George F. Rehrl - Central Islip NY
Howard J. Solow - Nesconset NY
Howard J. Solow - Nesconset NY
Assignee:
Lumex, Inc. - Bay Shore NY
International Classification:
A63B 2100
US Classification:
272134
Abstract:
A leg stabilization apparatus for a trunk extension/flexion test, rehabilitation and exercise machine wherein a person secured to an input assembly of the machine engages in trunk extension/flexion motion. The apparatus comprises a popliteal pad assembly, a thigh-knee pad assembly and a tibia pad assembly. The popliteal pad assembly has two popliteal pads which bear against the back of the person's knees. The height of the popliteal pad assembly is adjustable. The thigh-knee pad assembly has two thigh pads which bear against the person's thighs and two knee pads which bear against the inside of the legs at the knees. The tibia pad assembly has two tibia pads which bear against the tibia. Both the thigh-knee pad assembly and the tibia pad assembly are secured to the popliteal pad assembly by use of telescoping tubes which are locked into receiving tubes in the popliteal pad assembly.
