Patent ID: 7662074

Claim:
A weight exercise machine for use by a user, the exercise machine comprising: a base frame; an exercise member against which the user exerts an exercise force; a plurality of weights; a weight arm moveably coupled to the base frame and operably coupled to the exercise member; and a weight selector selectively actuated to operably couple the weight arm to at least one of the plurality of weights such that displacement of the exercise member from a first position causes the weight arm to move relative to the base frame while remaining coupled to the base frame while remaining coupled to the base frame and the at least one of the plurality of weights to displace, wherein: each weight of the plurality of weights is selectively operably coupled to the weight arm by the actuation of the weight selector and can be displaced from a rest position using the exercise member without displacing any of the other weights, and more than one of the plurality of weights can be operably coupled to the weight arm to be displaced from the rest position simultaneously.
