ABSTRACT:
A drive system for an exercise apparatus or the like. The system includes a rotatable member mounted on a frame together with a mechanism for rotating the rotatable member through a drive pulley operatively associated with the rotating mechanism and a driven pulley operatively associated with the rotatable member. It also includes an endless belt member drivingly interconnecting the pulleys such that the belt member imparts rotation of the rotating mechanism to the rotatable member through the drive and driven pulleys which occurs because of the fact that an inner surface of the belt member is in driving engagement with the pulleys. The system further includes a component frictionally engaging an outer surface of the belt member in the area in which the inner surface of the belt member is in driving engagement with the drive pulley to impart a resistance to rotation of the rotating mechanism. With this construction, the drive system is suitable for an exercise apparatus or the like.
