Abstract:
An exercise device featuring a pair of knee joints, each pivotally coupled to a pair of “calf” linkages having foot pedals at their opposite lower end that support low impact user-defined natural exercise gait patterns. The knee pivots joints are supported and directed to travel by linkage and/or carriage systems that operate substantially below the user hip area, and direct the knee pivot joints in a variety of travel paths, ranging from having a constant arc, linear pathway, to having a variety of irregular arc shaped paths, as well as, pathways that may change during use. A secondary system coupled to the knee pivot support system, provides lift and dampening forces to influence the responsiveness of the foot pedals via the bending and straightening of the calf linkage about the knee pivot joint, yet do not restrict the back and forth travel of the knee joint.

Claim (Index 1):
An exercise device comprising:\n a base frame; first and second calf linkages, the first and second calf linkages each including an upper end and a lower end; first and second foot pedals, the first foot pedal being disposed at the lower end of the first calf linkage, and the second foot pedal being disposed at the lower end of the second calf linkage; first and second pivot joints, the first pivot joint being disposed at the upper end of the first calf linkage, and the second pivot joint being disposed at the upper end of the second calf linkage; and first and second knee pivot support assemblies, the first knee pivot support assembly including one or more support members that are coupled with the first pivot joint to define a path along which the first pivot point may move, and the second knee pivot support assembly including one or more support members that are coupled with the second pivot joint to define a path along which the second pivot point may move, wherein the first and second pivot joints and the one or more support members of the first and second knee pivot support assemblies are positioned to be located below a hip of a user standing on the first and second foot pedals.
