ABSTRACT:
A weight assembly for an exercising apparatus is provided and includes a pair of vertically spaced superposed upper and lower generally horizontal panel members each including four openings formed therethrough spaced about a central area of the panel member. The two sets of four openings are at least generally registered and four upstanding elongated flexible tension member sections have their lower ends slidably received through corresponding openings in the panel members and the lower terminal ends of the tension member sections are anchored through the openings in the lower panel member. The upper ends of the tension members are upwardly convergent and are anchored relative to an anchor member. Variable weight value structure is supported on the lower panel member below the upper panel member and the tensioning of the tension member sections and the weight of the upper panel member tend to cause the variable weight value structure to be clamped between the upper and lower panel members. Further, novel structure is provided for anchoring the tension member sections to the anchor member and the latter to a pair of tension member sections trained over a pair of pulleys.
