ABSTRACT:
In a convertible user manipulated force resisting apparatus an articulated frame includes a base and a weight carrying member supported thereon for movement between an active position wherein the weight carrying member extends upwardly, and an inactive position wherein said weight carrying member is generally horizontally disposed relative to the base. The weight carrying member can be releasably retained in the active position by a pin or other means. A plurality of discreet weights are releasably secured to the weight carrying member for reciprocal motion relative thereto. A bench is coupled to the frame adjacent to the weight carrying member for movement between a first position substantially perpendicular to the weight carrying member when in the active position, and a second position approximately parallel to the weight carrying member when in the inactive position. Various mechanisms are provided for selectively moving at least one of weights between a lowered and a raised position. When not being used as an exercise apparatus the weight carrying member and the bench can be concealed, thereby converting the exercise apparatus to an article of furniture ie. g., a sofa adapted to support at least one person in a seated position.
