Exercise apparatus

Abstract

An exercise device comprising a support bracket and affixed thereto a mounting plate with an aperture configured therein. A handle sized for grasping by the hand of a user is appended to a radial arm which is in turn appended to a shaft for passing through the aperture. The shaft is characterized as having a proximal end and a distal end, the shaft being appended to the radial arm at its proximal end and appended to an adjustable resistance device at its distal end whereupon the adjustable resistance device moves with movement of the radial arm. The resistance to motion of the radial arm being varied by varying the adjustable resistance device.

       31 . An exercise device comprising a support bracket and affixed thereto a mounting plate with an aperture configured therein, a handle sized for grasping by the hand of a user, a radial arm for supporting said handle, a shaft for passing through said aperture and having a proximal end and a distal end, said shaft being appended to said radial arm at its proximal end and appended to an adjustable resistance device at its distal end whereupon said adjustable resistance device moves with movement of said radial arm, the resistance to motion of said radial arm being varied by varying said adjustable resistance device; and wherein said mounting disk is pivotally appended to said support bracket such that the orientation of said mounting disk can be altered by a user. 
   
   
       32 . An exercise device comprising a support bracket and affixed thereto a mounting plate, said mounting plate having an aperture configured therein, a handle sized for grasping by the hand of a user, a radial arm for supporting said handle, a shaft extending through said aperture, a friction disk rotatable with respect to said mounting plate such that movement of said radial arm by hand movement of said handle causes rotational movement of said friction disk, the friction established between said friction disk and mounting plate being adjustable to vary resistance to movement of said radial arm, said support bracket providing vertical height adjustment to said exercise device; and wherein said mounting disk is pivotably appended to said support bracket such that the orientation of said mounting disk can be altered by a user.
