ABSTRACT:
An improved, lightweight, compact exercising apparatus wherein the exerciser positions himself on a carriage and exerts forces against his own weight by pulling or pushing the carriage along an inclined track assembly. At the upper end of the track assembly there is affixed a pair of guide sleeves which telescopically receive the legs of a U-shaped track elevator member. Movement of the guide sleeves up and down the legs of the elevator member varies angle of inclination of the track assembly. A unique locking mechanism is provided for locking the upper end of the track assembly at selected positions along the legs of the elevator member. The locking mechanism is a generally U-shaped member formed of a yieldably resilient material. Each side of the U-shaped member has a generally L-shaped free end portion. The free end portions are pivotally received in the apertures of the track elevating member and pivotally movable from a first interengaging position into a second locking position so that the end portions supportably engage the guide sleeves.
