Patent attributes
A response measuring device that can be used in equipment for personal training or exercise routines. This device includes a cylinder block; a chamber formed in the cylinder block and having first and second ends; a piston mounted for movement and positioned in the chamber; a detecting device mounted adjacent the first end of the chamber; and a hose having first and second ends with the first end in fluid communication with the second end of the chamber. The hose can direct a fluid into the device, with the velocity of the fluid moving the piston at least partially out of the first end of the chamber and into position for detection by the detecting device. Also, the detecting device can measure piston movement to provide data representative of user response time and amount of force applied to the sensor by the user.
