Patent attributes
Exercise apparatus is disclosed which enables a user to pull a cable against a source of resistance from a pulley arranged at one of a number of points around a substantially circular arc. The exercise apparatus includes: an arcuate frame member forming a segment of an approximate circle having a center, the circle with its center lying in an imaginary plane; (b) a frame support for supporting the frame member in a upright position such that the plane is substantially vertically oriented; (c) a first cable pulley adapted to be attached to the frame member at one of a plurality of positions along the arc; (d) a second cable pulley fixedly mounted in the vicinity of a substantially horizontal, imaginary first axis that extends perpendicular to the plane and passes through the center of the circle; (e) at least one source of resistance; (f) a handle adapted to be grasped by a user; and (g) a flexible cable having a proximate end attached to said handle and a distal end coupled to said at least one resistance source, the cable passing through both the first pulley and the second pulley.
