ABSTRACT:
A rowing exercise machine has a frame including a base portion and an upstanding portion. A seat is mounted intermediate the ends of the upstanding portion on the rearward side and a chest support is mounted thereabove. An upstanding effort arm is pivotally attached adjacent its lower end to the base portion of the frame at a location spaced forwardly of the upstanding portion. A handle member has a forward end pivotally attached adjacent the upper end of the effort arm and extends generally rearwardly towards the chest support. A weight bar is pivotally attached adjacent its rearward end to the upstanding portion of the frame and extends forwardly beyond the effort arm with a mount for weights adjacent its forward end. A tie rod is pivotally attached adjacent one end intermediate the effort arm and pivotally attached adjacent its other end proximate the rearward end of the weight bar. The weight bar is disposed at rest generally in a horizontal attitude and is elevated toward a generally vertical attitude by the exertion of a force rearwardly on the handle member as in rowing. A foot operated treadle linked to a pivotal stand can pivot the stand to support an engagement member depending from the weight bar to support the weight bar in its generally horizontal at rest position.
