Patent ID: 8002677

Claim:
An exercise device comprising: a frame; a resistance system supported by the frame; a flexible member operably associated with the resistance system; an actuation device operably associated with the resistance system in such a manner that the resistance system exerts resistance forces on the actuation device as the actuation device is displaced; a first cam supported by an axle including a length; a second cam supported by the axle; a selector mechanism operably associated with the first and second cams, the selector mechanism configured to selectively move the first and second cams along at least a portion of the length of the axle to operatively associate one of the first and second cams with the flexible member; the flexible member and the first cam are configured in such a manner that the flexible member wraps around the first cam as the actuation device is displaced when the flexible member is operatively associated with the first cam; a pulley supported by the axle and operatively associated with the actuation device; a first pulley member that extends from the pulley, the first pulley member connected to the flexible member to operably join the flexible member to the pulley; and the first and second cams are configured in such a manner that changing which of the first and second cams is operatively associated with the flexible member changes the resistance forces from the resistance system exerted on the actuation device as the actuation device is displaced.
