Abstract:
A portable personal training and exercise device, comprising:a. a base assembly having two parallel main platforms and a tilt mechanism assembled between and interconnecting the two parallel main platforms; b. said tilt mechanism having a pair of tilt plates held upright in a spaced apart parallel relationship with a base tube pivotally mounted therebetween, each tilt plate having a semi-circular upper rim with multiple notches located at different degrees; c. said tilt mechanism also having a tilt lever mounted on said base tube for moving a locking pin which can engage with the notches on said upper rims of said tilt plates for locking said base tube in different orientations including at least a vertical orientation; d. a pole assembly having at least one extension pole, at least one attachment pole with attachment holes at regular intervals, and at least two connection sleeves for connecting the at least one extension pole to said base tube of said base assembly and connecting the at least one attachment pole to the at least one extension pole; e. a cable and pulley assembly having a housing mounted on said at least one attachment pole of said pole assembly for housing a cable and pulley mechanism therein; f. said cable and pulley mechanism having two coaxial pulleys stacked around a common single stationary shaft, each pulley mounted on a gear hub and having a clock spring attached on one side of the pulley for rewinding a cord onto the pulley and a brake wheel attached on the other opposite side of the pulley for resisting the rotation of the pulley; g. said cable and pulley assembly also having a tension adjustment unit with an adjustment knob for adjusting the resistance of said pulleys from outside of said housing of said cable and pulley assembly; and h. said cable and pulley assembly further having two multi-direction guide units mounted on said housing of said cable and pulley assembly for allowing said pulley cords to be pulled in multiple directions with reduced friction; i. whereby a user may pull said cord of said pulleys for exercising various muscles of said user and adjust the resistance force of said cord at an appropriate level suitable to the user.
