20110124467 | PARTLY-INLAID ELLIPTICAL GYMNASTICS EQUIPMENT - A partially-inlaid elliptical gymnastics equipment system includes a plurality of pedals connected to moving arms that move in synchronism with said pedals, at least one fixed member configured within a reach of a user, a panel for controlling and monitoring the equipment system, a mechanical and electric assembly that connects at least one pair of pedals and moving arms to define an elliptical system and promotes an alternating displacement of the at least one pair of pedals and arms, a vertical partition that includes a first pair of vertical windows through which distal end parts of bars pass, each bar connecting one the pedals to the elliptical system and a pair of vertical windows through which the moving arms pass, the moving arms being synchronized with the movements of the pedals, and an aisle providing access to the mechanical and electric assembly. | 05-26-2011 |
20110294628 | ELECTROMECHANICAL MECHANISM FOR CONTROLLING FRACTIONAL WEIGHT LIFTING PLATES IN WORKOUT STATIONS - An electromechanical mechanism for controlling fractional weight lifting plates is installed in a weight tower of a workout station and includes two vertical columns, joined at the top by a crossbeam and at the bottom by a base, on which there rests a stack of unit weights that can be vertically moved by a steel cable. The tower includes a pulley that deflects the steel cable coming from a lower part of the tower towards a center of the tower, where it is attached to the unit weights. Mounted on either side of a central pulley is a fractional weight pulley having a coupling and a linear actuator for translating a steel cable, which hangs vertically down inside a tube attached to the crossbeam and to the base of the tower, the cylindrical fractional weight being held at the end of the steel cable in the tube. | 12-01-2011 |
20120094809 | ENHANCEMENT OF THE FLOOR OF A GYM'S WEIGHTROOM - A floor of a gym's weight room is configured to encompass the installation of weight stations with weight towers controlled remotely from a control panel, with said weight station assembled atop a weight room floor. The floor of the gym, for each station-tower combination, includes two reinforced boxes embedded in the floor, each having an opening at floor level, wherein one box is located below the base of the weight station and one box is located in front of the respective weight tower, preferably positioned far from the station, the two boxes being connected by at least two parallel tubes located beneath the level of the gym's floor, and wherein the interior of each box is affixed with a cable pulley and bearing, each cable pulley being at a level so that the horizontal section of a steel cable runs toward a center of one of the tubes. | 04-19-2012 |
20120100961 | ELECTROMECHANICAL SYSTEM FOR SELECTING WEIGHTS IN FITNESS STATION WEIGHTS TOWERS - An electromechanical system for selecting weights in fitness station weight towers, wherein a vertical hollow rod, fixed to the cursor which fastens to the steel cable, which lifts the plates of unit weight, extends traversing central holes of these plates, traversing the upper wall of the base of the tower, which is hollow, this rod having a rotating shaft or screw that moves the weight selector upwards and downwards, mounted on the rod by bearings, and projecting below this bearing where it has at the end radial teeth that incase between protrusions existing in a circular low relief of a pulley, which is mounted on a bearing whose shaft is collinear to the rod and fixed to the lower face of the base, this pulley having a channel for a belt, driven by an electric motor fixed to the base. | 04-26-2012 |
20120165157 | FITNESS CENTER WORK-OUT STATION WITH ELECTROMECHANICAL CONTROL OF END OF STROKE POSITION - A fitness center work-out station with electromechanical control of the end of stroke position, including a base, from which there arises a structure where there is fastened a seat, a back rest, arms for action by the user, pulley for connecting the arms, and a steel cable which descends to the level of the base passing through a compensating pulley and following on horizontally to the opposite end of the base where there is a vertical tower where there are stacked the weights, where the end of the steel cable is connected. The base is provided with a contour structure, with two centrally supporting frame rails of the upper structure and a compensating pulley pivoted between the pair of frame rails and at the base of the structure. | 06-28-2012 |
20130015263 | INTRODUCED TO A PORTABLE SAFETY SPRAYING DEVICEAANM NISHIMURA; TakashiAACI SAO PAULOAACO BRAAGP NISHIMURA; Takashi SAO PAULO BR - A portable safety spraying device includes a container of pressurized water and chemical product stored in a flexible pouch with quick-release coupler and is manufactured in a size and weight that is compatible with carrying a user. Nearly the entire volume of the container is held in or composes the pouch. A container lid includes a control valve for releasing the chemical product. The container receives pressurized clean water flowing from a stationary motorized pump through a long hose and is fed by water recycled by a motorized pump through an adjustable sequential valve. The valve operates to keep the hose pressure constant, independent of any pressure releasing action. | 01-17-2013 |
