Abstract

A portable exercise machine including a substantially flat floor base that can be disassembled from other components, an actuator bar preferably having a centered pin as part of a spooling and anchoring handle; an upright member that may have an integral support and upright arm having pulleys preferably enclosed in the upright arm; a rocker arm that can be removably pivotably connected, such as by a pin, to the support of the upright member; and a cable attached the actuator bar, passing over the enclosed pulleys and attached to the rocker arm. The integral support may include a mounting recess as an integrated stand to removably secure the actuator bar when not in use. The upright member may include an integral sleeve that attaches to a tube that removably attaches to the floor base.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A portable exercise machine comprising:
 a floor base that can be disassembled from other components,   an upright member having pulleys;   an actuator bar;   a rocker arm that can be pivotably connected to the upright member; and   a cable attached the actuator bar, passing over the pulleys and attached to the rocker arm.   
     
     
         2 . The exercise machine of  claim 1  wherein the pulleys are enclosed in the upright member. 
     
     
         3 . The exercise machine of  claim 1  wherein the actuator bar includes spooling, anchoring and centering handle with a pin centered on the handle that allows a length of the cable to wrapped around a center spooling zone for an adjustable length of the cable to be centered for symmetrical lifting while being safely anchored on the pin. 
     
     
         4 . The exercise machine of  claim 3  wherein the spooling zone is a cylinder with a lip on each side that keeps the cable between the lips and outer hand grip portions on each end of the actuator bar. 
     
     
         5 . The exercise machine of  claim 4  wherein the cylinder of the spooling zone has a diameter greater than a diameter of the hand grip portion. 
     
     
         6 . The exercise machine of  claim 5  wherein the cylinder of the spooling zone has a diameter greater than one and a quarter inch. 
     
     
         7 . The exercise machine of  claim 1  wherein the upright member includes an integrated stand to hold the actuator bar when not in use for exercises. 
     
     
         8 . The exercise machine of  claim 1  wherein the upright member includes an integral support and an upright arm. 
     
     
         9 . The exercise machine of  claim 8  wherein the support includes a recess to removably secure the actuator bar when not in use. 
     
     
         10 . The exercise machine of  claim 8  wherein the rocker arm is pivotably connectable to the support. 
     
     
         11 . The exercise machine of  claim 8  wherein the upright member further includes an integral sleeve attached to the support. 
     
     
         12 . The exercise machine of  claim 11  further comprising a tube that removably attaches to the floor base, which is substantially flat, wherein the integral sleeve of the upright member can be removably attached to the tube. 
     
     
         13 . The exercise machine of  claim 8  wherein the support includes a mount having a recess to secure a removable end of the actuator arm. 
     
     
         14 . The exercise machine of  claim 13  wherein the recess has a channel to guide the cable. 
     
     
         15 . The exercise machine of  claim 8  wherein the rocker arm can be pivotably connected via a removable pin to the support to pivotably secure the rocker arm to the upright member. 
     
     
         16 . The exercise machine of  claim 3  wherein the pin is centered on the handle, the pin being somewhat T-shaped with a stem and curved barbs to assist in securing the cable. 
     
     
         17 . A portable exercise machine comprising:
 a floor base that can be disassembled from other components,   an upright member having an integral support and upright arm having pulleys enclosed in the upright arm;   an actuator bar;   a rocker arm that can be removably pivotably connected to the support of the upright member; and   a cable attached the actuator bar, passing over the enclosed pulleys and attached to the rocker arm.   
     
     
         18 . The exercise machine of  claim 17  wherein the upright member further includes an integral sleeve. 
     
     
         19 . The exercise machine of  claim 18  further comprising a narrow tube that removably attaches to the floor base, wherein the integral sleeve of the upright member can be removably attached to the tube. 
     
     
         20 . A portable exercise machine comprising:
 a substantially flat floor base that can be disassembled from other components,   an actuator bar having a centered pin;   an upright member having an integral support and upright arm having pulleys enclosed in the upright arm; the integral support including a mounting recess as an integrated stand to removably secure the actuator bar when not in use,   a rocker arm that can be removably pivotably connected to the support of the upright member; and   a cable attached the actuator bar, passing over the enclosed pulleys and a channel guide in the recess, and attached to the rocker arm.
