Multiple function exerciser

Abstract

An exerciser includes a leg positioning member which is slidably mounted to a slide rod and a damping device is located between the leg positioning member and the slide rod. Two handles are connected to the top of the slide rod. The user sits in a chair and the two thighs clamps the leg positioning member, the hands hold the handles to lift the slide rod to resist the damping device. The handles can also be adjusted to be operated by pivoting them. The handles can be installed to the lower end of the slide rod and the exerciser is arranged in up-side-down, the user can pushes the handles downward.

1 . An exerciser comprising:
 a leg positioning member having a passage defined therethrough;   a slide rod extending through the passage and movable relative to the leg positioning member;   a damping device located between the leg positioning member and the slide rod, the damping device having an adjustment device for adjusting damping force of the damping device;   two handles connected to a top of the slide rod.   
     
     
         2 . The exerciser as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a top cap is connected to the top of the slide rod and includes two pivotal frames on two sides thereof, the two handles are respectively and pivotably connected to the pivotal frames, two torsion springs are respectively located between the handle and the pivotal frame, each handle has a contact member, the two contact members of the two handles located symmetrically relative to axis of the contact member, each contact member has a protrusion. 
     
     
         3 . The exerciser as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein each handle comprises the contact member and a grip, the contact member has an insertion hole at a rear end thereof and the grip is inserted into the insertion hole. 
     
     
         4 . The exerciser as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein a locking device is connected to the top cap and comprises a knob, a T-shaped bolt and multiple nuts, the T-shaped bolt extends from an underside of the top cap and is connected to the nuts and the knob. 
     
     
         5 . The exerciser as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the slide rod comprises a inner tube which is located in the slide rod and inserted into the top cap, the damping device biases the inner tube which contacts the two respective contact members of the two handles. 
     
     
         6 . The exerciser as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the inner tube includes a positioning tube which is mounted to an upper section of the damping device. 
     
     
         7 . The exerciser as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein two connection lugs respectively extend radially from two sides of the inner tube and are fixed to the leg positioning member, the slide rod includes two slots with which the connection lugs are slidably engaged. 
     
     
         8 . The exerciser as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a hollow base and a positioning rod are connected to a lower end of the slide rod, the positioning rod is connected to the base and fixed to the lower end of the slide rod, a lower section of the damping device is mounted to the positioning rod. 
     
     
         9 . The exerciser as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the base has two through hole on two sides thereof. 
     
     
         10 . The exerciser as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the base has two grooves defined therein which are located corresponding to two slide blocks on the positioning rod, the adjustment device includes a section with outer threads and the section extends through the base and is threadedly connected to a threaded hole in an underside of the positioning rod. 
     
     
         11 . The exerciser as claimed in  claim 1  further comprising a pad which has a central hole and a connection portion is located on the pad, the connection portion is engaged with the leg positioning member.
