ABSTRACT:
A multiple inclination exercise bench having a torso supporting assembly and a seat supporting assembly is disclosed wherein the elevation by a user of the torso supporting assembly causes the elevation of the seat supporting assembly. The invention is characterized as having a torso supporting assembly mechanically linked to a seat supporting assembly. In preferred form, the torso supporting assembly is pivotal at its proximal end about a point associated with the bench and has associated therewith at least one cam plate. A lever or rocker arm is pivotally located adjacent to the cam plate and has a cam follower attached thereto at one end, and a seat support member at the other end. The seat support member supports the distal end of the seat supporting assembly where the proximal end is pivotally located on the bench. A support member is associated with the torso supporting assembly to maintain a desired inclination thereof. In an embodiment of the invention, a pair of struts are pivotally mounted to the distal portion of the torso supporting assembly and engage via a locking mechanism with the bench structure.
