Patent attributes
An exercise machine resistance selection system for efficiently and easily adjusting a resistance force applied against movement of a carriage in at least one direction. An exercise machine includes a frame having at least one rail and a carriage movably connected to the at least one rail. A biasing member is selectively and removably connected to the carriage by a first catch member, with the first catch member being adjustable between an engaged position in which the first catch member is adapted to engage with the biasing member to impart a resistance force against movement of the carriage and a disengaged position in which the first catch member is adapted to release biasing member. A first retaining member is adapted to retain the biasing member in place below the carriage when the biasing member is released from the first catch member.
