Patent ID: 7641595

Claim:
An exercise device comprising: a support arm having an upper support arm member defining an upper support arm axis and a lower support arm member defining a lower support arm axis; a support structure to which the support arm is pivotably attached by a longitudinal pivot mechanism and a lateral pivot mechanism, the longitudinal pivot mechanism being adapted so that the support arm may be selectively rotated about a longitudinal pivot in a pitch plane that includes the upper support arm axis and so that the support arm may be selectively locked at a selected pitch rotational position, the lateral pivot mechanism being adapted so that the support arm may be selectively rotated about a lateral pivot point in a vertical plane that is orthogonal to the pitch plane and so that the support arm may be selectively locked at a selected lateral rotational position; and a yoke pivotably attached to the upper support arm at a yoke attachment point so that the yoke is constrained to rotate about the upper support arm axis, the yoke being adapted for being grasped by a user for rotating the yoke about the upper support arm axis, wherein the support structure includes a vertical support column and the lateral pivot mechanism includes a lateral pivot control bracket pivotably attached to the support column at the lateral pivot point.
