Fitness equipment

Abstract

The present invention relates to fitness equipment. The fitness equipment includes a support; and an extendable member for extending from the support. A lock is provided for locking the extendable member at non-discrete positions. Advantageously, the lock can lock the extendable member at any one of the non-discrete positions that best suits a particular exerciser.

1 . A fitness equipment, comprising:
 a support;   an extendable member for extending from the support; and   a lock for locking the extendable member at non-discrete positions.   
     
     
         2 . The fitness equipment of  claim 1 , wherein the lock is configured to lock the extendable member at any one of the non-discrete positions for a particular exerciser. 
     
     
         3 . The fitness equipment of  claim 1 , wherein the extendable member is pivotally mounted to the support. 
     
     
         4 . The fitness equipment of  claim 1 , wherein the non-discrete positions are angular positions in a range. 
     
     
         5 . The fitness equipment of  claim 1 , wherein the lock includes a lockable gas spring. 
     
     
         6 . The fitness equipment of  claim 1 , wherein the lock is biased to retract the extendable member to a stowed position. 
     
     
         7 . The fitness equipment of  claim 1 , further comprising a release for releasing the lock so that the extendable member returns to a home position. 
     
     
         8 . The fitness equipment of  claim 1 , further comprising a release for releasing the lock so that the extendable member is adjustable to a desired one of the non-discrete positions, and less cumbersomely than the pin in discrete hole arrangement. 
     
     
         9 . The fitness equipment of  claim 7 , wherein the release is located on the support or the extendable member. 
     
     
         10 . The fitness equipment of  claim 1 , wherein the extendable member includes a lever arm. 
     
     
         11 . The fitness equipment of  claim 10 , wherein the lever arm is pivotally mounted to the support. 
     
     
         12 . The fitness equipment of  claim 1 , wherein the support is a static upright. 
     
     
         13 . The fitness equipment of  claim 1 , wherein the support forms part of a frame of the fitness equipment. 
     
     
         14 . The fitness equipment of  claim 1 , wherein the extendable member includes a person restraint 
     
     
         15 . The fitness equipment of  claim 1 , and being in the form of a lat-pull machine. 
     
     
         16 . A fitness equipment, comprising:
 a support;   a person support extending from the support; and   a lock for locking the person support at any position in a range.   
     
     
         17 . The fitness equipment of  claim 16 , wherein the support includes a fitness equipment frame. 
     
     
         18 . The fitness equipment of  claim 16 , wherein the person support includes a lever arm. 
     
     
         19 . The fitness equipment of  claim 18 , wherein the lever arm is pivotally mounted to the support. 
     
     
         20 . The fitness equipment of  claim 16 , wherein the lock includes a lockable gas spring.
