Patent ID: 8690737

Claim:
An exercise machine comprising: a ground-engaging support structure; a pedal arrangement which includes first and second crank members which are mounted to the support structure for rotational movement about a first axis; first and second handles which are mounted to the support structure for pivotal movement about a second axis; first and second cross members which are respectively pivotally connected to the first and second handles; first and second foot-engaging structures, mounted respectively to the first and second cross members, which are respectively engaged with, and which are movable relative to, the first and second crank members; first and second locking pins which are movable between respective operative positions and inoperative positions, wherein at the operative positions, the first and second locking pins lock the first and second handles to the support structure thereby to inhibit pivotal movement of the handles about the second axis so that, upon rotational movement of the pedal arrangement, the first and second foot-engaging structures are movable to provide a first exercise action and, in response thereto, the first and second cross members are pivotally movable relative to the first and second handles, and wherein with the first and second locking pins at the respective inoperative positions the pivotal movement of the handles is not inhibited; and first and second locking rods which are movable between respective operative positions and inoperative positions, wherein at the operative positions the first and second locking rods lock the first and second crank members to the first and second cross members respectively, so that, upon rotational movement of the pedal arrangement, the first and second foot-engaging structures are movable to provide a second exercise action and, in response thereto, the first and second handles are pivotally movable about the second axis, and wherein with the first and second locking rods at the respective inoperative positions the first and second crank members are not locked to the first and second cross members respectively.
