Claims
I claim resistance curve regulator lever comprising:
1. A Frame A Elastomer Spring A Lever A Pulley Sprocket said
Elastomer Spring can be attached to said Lever said Lever can be
attached to said Frame said Pulley Sprocket can be attached to said
Frame said Pulley Sprocket can pull said Lever therefore pulling
said Elastomer Spring a distance requiring a original pound per
inch to pull said Elastomer Spring where as said pull from said
Pulley Sprocket on said Lever can have a different pound per inch
than said original pound per inch pulling from said Elastomer
Spring.
2. Said Frame said Elastomer Spring said Lever said Pulley Sprocket
can be attached in a configuration that said different pound per
inch be a constant pound per inch over a distance.
3. Said Frame Said Elastomer Spring said Lever said Pulley Sprocket
can be attached in a configuration that said different pound per
inch be a increasing pound per inch over a distance.
4. Said Frame Said Elastomer Spring said Lever said Pulley Sprocket
can be attached in a configuration that said different pound per
inch be a decreasing pound per inch over a distance.
Description
BACKGROUND
[0001] This invention relates to the field of exercise devices more
specifically to devices for using springs or elastomers for
resistance and devices providing resistance curves.
PRIOR ART
[0002] There are resistance curve devices such as U.S. Pat. No.
6,575,881 and there are devices to use springs for resistance such
as U.S. Pat. No. 6,328,679 but they are cumbersome and difficult to
transport. U.S. Pat. No. 6,575,881 uses weight members for
resistance so it is heavy. U.S. Pat. No. 6,328,679 is also limited
to being mounted on a wall.
SUMMARY
[0003] Present invention allows for the pound per inch requirements
associated with stretching a spring or elastomer to be converted to
a different pound per inch to stretch spring or elastomer for the
purpose that the different pound per inch can be more beneficial
than the original pound per inch to stretch elastomer spring.
OBJECTS AND ADVANTAGES
[0004] Present invention allows for a very lightweight compact
device to make resistance for exercise. It also provides different
resistance curves which can be used on different muscles. For
example when doing the common exercise of a pulldown a person is
strongest at the beginning when arms are extended up at the top and
as you pull down it gets harder and harder. In this example a
person could set the resistance curve to start with heavy pound per
inch and drop to lighter pound per inch as person move through the
range of motion. Where it is harder to pull. Another example is
when someone does a bench press. In this exercise a person is still
strongest when arms are extended, however the range of motion for
this exercise begins after a person has lowered the bar down to
their chest; where they are not as strong as when arms extended.
For this exercise a person could set the resistance curve to be
lighter pound per inch when bar is close to chest and pound per
inch get harder as bar gets pushed up. Another example is if a
person wants to have the same; or close to same; pound per inch
through a motion to exercise a muscle they can set that resistance
curve with present invention.

DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION
[0015] Present Invention includes a Frame 10 which can be made out
of, and not limited to being made out of, wood, metal,
fiberglass.
[0016] Present Invention includes a Elastomer Spring 20. The
Elastomer Spring 20 can be made out of, and not be limited to being
made out of, metal, rubber, or fiberglass. The Elastomer Spring 20
should have the characteristic of being able to stretch and return
back to position. The stretching should require some pound per inch
to stretch. Elastomer Spring 20 could be a device which gets
squeezed. The squeeze should require a pound per inch to squeeze.
The device which gets squeezed should have the characteristic of
being able to return back to position.
[0017] The pound per inch to stretch Elastomer Spring 20 will be
changed to a different pound per inch by the Resistance Curve
Regulator Lever 100. The distance over which the pound per inch to
stretch Elastomer Spring 20 can be different or the same as a
distance over which the different pound per inch to stretch.
[0018] Present invention includes a Lever 30. The Lever 30 can be
made out of, and not limited to being made out of, metal, wood,
plastic, and fiberglass. The Lever 30 can have components attached
to the Lever 30 at any distance from fulcrum and can have the
components attached to the Lever 30 on different sides of
fulcrum.
[0019] Present invention includes a Pulley Sprocket 40. The Pulley
Sprocket 40 can work with a Cable Chain 42. The Pulley Sprocket 40
can be made out of and not limited to being made out of, metal,
plastic. The Pulley Sprocket 40 has the purpose of pulling the
Lever 30 from the Pulley Sprocket Position 42
[0020] The Pulley Sprocket Position 42 in relation to the lever 30
and the Elastomer Spring position 22 to the Lever 30 are both
variables in changing the Elastomer Spring 20 pound per inch to
stretch to the different pound per inch.
[0021] The Frame 10 can have different places to attach the lever
32. Different places to attach Pulley Sprocket 44. Different places
to attach Elastomer Spring 22. These different places to attach
Lever 32, Elastomer Spring 22, and Pulley Sprocket 44 can effect
conversion of original pound per inch to stretch Elastomer Spring
22 to different pound per inch to stretch Elastomer Spring 22 at
Pulley Sprocket 40.
