Abstract:
A pull cord safety system, primarily for use with an exercise device such as, but not limited to, a treadmill, that provides for a captive cord which is fixed to the exercise device via a trip mechanism housing. This provides for the benefits of a pull cord safety shutoff where the treadmill shuts off if sufficient force is applied to pull the cord, but keeps the system from being a separable key system. Thus, it eliminates misplacing the key and provides for a system which can more easily be triggered regardless of the angle of fall or instability.

Claim (Index 6):
An electrical shutoff for an exercise device, the shutoff comprising:\n a main body attached to said exercise device; a flexible cord attached to a peg at a first end and a clip at an opposing end; a shuttle attached to said peg; an electrically conductive shunt attached to said shuttle; an indicator attached to said shuttle and including a ring; a shaft attached to said main body; and at least two electrically conductive clips; wherein, in a power position, said shunt in placed in electrical contact with said at least two clips so that said shunt completes an electric circuit between said two clips; wherein, pulling said cord when said shutoff is in said power position, causes said peg to move in a first direction relative to said main body, which in turn causes said shuttle, said shunt, and said indicator to also move in said first direction relative to said main body a sufficient distance to break said electric circuit between said two clips and place said shutoff in a tripped position but without separating said peg, said shuttle, said shunt, and said indicator from said main body; wherein, when said shutoff is in said tripped position, said ring obscures at least a portion of said shaft; and wherein, to return said shutoff to said power position from said tripped position, said ring is pushed in a direction opposite to said first direction which causes said shuttle, said peg, said shunt, and said indicator to move in a direction opposite said first direction relative to said main body and returns said shunt to completing said electric circuit between said at least two clips.
