Abstract:
1. A regulating group for adjusting the initial operating position of a user interface associated with an exercise machine, wherein said interface is shaped to be engaged by a given body portion of a user of the exercise machine, said exercise machine comprising: a frame; load means; transmission means for connecting said load means to said interface; and support means for carrying said interface movable relative to said frame; said regulating group comprising: return means for defining, at said initial operating position, a stop for the movement of said interface relative to said frame; said return means adapted to be connected to said transmission means through a coupling, so that at each variation in said initial operating position actuated through said return means corresponds a respective variation in the operating configuration of said transmission means; wherein said coupling includes a rotatable regulating member stably coupled to said return means and to said transmission means; wherein said regulating member being selectively blockable in a plurality of respective angular operating positions, each of which is associated with a corresponding said initial operating position of said interface, wherein said support means comprises a first support member rotatably carried by said frame around a respective first axis of rotation; and wherein said return means comprises a first substantially non extendable flexible element, which is coupled to said first support member at an opposite side from said interface relative to said first axis of rotation and includes a respective first end connected to said regulating member.
