Abstract:
1. An exercise arm assembly, comprising: a main arm having a first end for pivoting on a frame of an exercise machine for pivoting about a first pivot axis; a swing arm having a first end and a second end; a pivot connection between the swing arm and the main arm which defines a second pivot axis which is not coaxial with the swing arm and which allows free pivoting of the swing arm about the second pivot axis within a predetermined angular range, the swing arm being freely pivotable about the second pivot axis within the predetermined angular range during an exercise, whereby a user can define the motion of the swing arm; and a handle pivoted to the swing arm for pivoting about a third pivot axis, each pivot axis being non-parallel to the other two pivot axes, and at least one pivot axis being non-perpendicular to the other two pivot axes.
