Patent attributes
An exercise apparatus includes a support structure having a base portion, the support structure housing a resistance assembly (e.g., including a weight stack). At least one arm assembly is mounted to the support structure. Each of the one or more arm assemblies includes: (i) an elongate member, and (ii) a mounting bracket assembly. The mounting bracket assembly is pivotally mounted to the elongate member and also pivotally mounted to the support structure at a location spaced apart from the base portion of the support structure. One pivot mount allows the elongate member to pivot up and down, while the other pivot mount allows the mounting bracket assembly (and thus the arm assembly) to pivot in and out (i.e., laterally). At least one cable extends from the resistance assembly to the at least one arm assembly.
