Claim Text:
1. An exercise machine for exercising at least one limb, in particular for use in rehabilitation and/or fitness, the exercise machine comprising: a support frame; a circular motion generator that is rotatably mounted on a rotary shaft associated with the support frame; a limb rest for supporting or holding the at least one limb; and a rotating shaft for rotatable mounting of a rotator and being associated with the circular motion generator, the rotating shaft being radially offset from the rotary shaft of the circular motion generator such that the limb rest is associated with the rotator and is eccentric to the rotating shaft, wherein a trajectory of the limb rest is described by an ellipse that is produced by a superposition of the circular movements of the circular motion generator and of the rotator, wherein the rotator is coupled to the support frame, such that rotation of the rotator is derived from the circular motion of the circular motion generator, and wherein a housing collar that is concentric to the rotary shaft is arranged on the support frame, wherein a driving disk that is adapted to be integral with the rotator is associated with the rotating shaft to couple the rotator to the support frame through contact of the driving disk on the housing collar.
