Patent ID: 7641596

Claim:
An exercise device comprising: a support structure comprising a support member; a support arm having an upper support arm portion and a lower support arm portion, the support arm being mounted to the support member by a pivot assembly comprising a longitudinal pivot control mechanism and a lateral pivot control mechanism, the longitudinal pivot control mechanism being configured to allow the support arm to be selectively positioned at a first angular orientation in a longitudinal plane and the lateral pivot control mechanism being configured to allow the support arm to be selectively positioned at a second angular orientation in a lateral plane orthogonal to the longitudinal plane; and a yoke pivotably attached to the upper support arm by a yoke attachment member so that the yoke is constrained to rotate about a yoke rotation axis, the yoke being configured for engagement by a user in an exercise orientation and for selective rotation about the yoke rotation axis by the user, wherein the support arm is attached to the pivot assembly by a support arm adjustment sleeve adapted for slidably receiving at least a portion of the support arm, thereby allowing adjustment of a distance between the pivot assembly and the yoke attachment member, and wherein the longitudinal pivot control mechanism includes a pivot arm member having a first end pivotably attached to the support arm adjustment sleeve and a second end pivotably attached to the lateral pivot control mechanism, the pivot arm member having an adjustable length through which the first angular orientation can be established and maintained.
