Adjustable exercise reformer with cord-length adjustment system
The patent US12023538B2 describes a reformer designed for physical exercise, featuring a horizontal frame with a carriage that can slide between two ends. The carriage is equipped with springs that bias it towards a central equilibrium position. A pulley system is located at one end of the frame, allowing a user to pull a cord attached to the carriage, facilitating its movement. The reformer includes a cord-length adjustment system that allows users to modify the length of the cord, which is essential for customizing the resistance and range of motion during exercises. This system features a clamp assembly that can securely hold the cord in place or release it for adjustments, enhancing user control over the equipment.
Additionally, the claims detail various components of the cord-length adjustment system, including a reel that can retract the cord and a spring mechanism that aids in this retraction. The clamp assembly is designed with movable surfaces that grip the cord, ensuring it remains fixed at the desired length. The reformer also includes features such as a depressible clamp for easy operation and a rope guide for smooth cord passage. The carriage is designed with rollers for seamless movement along the frame, contributing to the overall functionality and user experience of the reformer. This innovative design aims to improve the versatility and effectiveness of exercise routines.
