A stationary exercise device having variable footpaths is disclosed. The exercise device includes a frame, a pair of supporting members that have a first end to rotate about an axis and a second end to move along a reciprocating path, a pair of pedals joined to the supporting members, and a guider assembly for adjusting an incline angle of the reciprocating path.

Stationary exercise apparatus

Disclosed is an exercise machine providing an upper body exerciser portion adapted for use with a lower body exerciser and having a semi-dependent retraction system. The exercise machine generally includes a frame adapted to be mounted on a lower body exerciser (though standalone versions are also disclosed) and the upper body exerciser consisting of first and second user members for pulling by a user to provide pull forces, single retraction means for providing retraction forces to the user members sufficient to retract them back to their start positions after being pulled out, and, non-floating combining means coupled to the single retraction means for making the retraction forces semi-dependent on the pull forces, and thereby reducing travel of the retraction means, by coupling the single retraction means to both user members. Drive and resistance means are further provided.

An underhood air cleaner ( ) includes a plastic housing ( ) having an inlet ( ) for receiving dirty air, a filter element ( ) for filtering the air, and an outlet ( ) for discharging clean filtered air. A plastic outlet duct ( ) is butt welded ( ) to the housing outlet ( ) in axially non-overlapping relation, to eliminate axial overlap previously required for a hose clamp, to reduce the amount of underhood space required by an engine air cleaner in the axial direction.

An air filter housing ( ) includes twist and lock structure ( ) having a first position (FIGS. ) permitting axial movement ( ) of a cover ( ) and base ( ) relative to each other, and being rotatable in a first direction ( ) from the first position (FIG. ) to the second position (FIG. ), and in the second position (FIG. ) preventing axial movement of the base ( ) and cover ( ) relative to each other, and being rotatable in a second opposite direction ( ) from the second position (FIG. ) to the first position (FIG. ). Anti-rotation lock structure ( ) provides a rotational retention force holding the twist and lock structure ( ) in the second position (FIG. ).

Twist and lock filter housing with anti-rotation stop

An underhood air cleaner ( ) for a vehicle ( ) has an inlet shroud seal ( ) self-mounted to the filter housing ( ) at the filter inlet ( ) and engaging the hood ( ) at the exit opening ( ) of the hood air channel ( ). The self-mounting is accomplished without extra parts or fasteners such as bolts and clamps. Both axial ( ) and radial ( ) retention is provided for the shroud seal ( ) on the filter housing ( ), as well as reduced inflow restriction.

A filter ( ) has a housing ( ) extending along an axis ( ) between first and second axial ends ( and ), and has a closed loop primary filter element ( ) extending axially in the housing, and a closed loop safety filter element ( ) in the hollow interior ( ) of the primary filter element. A detent member ( ) engages and retains the end cap ( ) of the safety filter element independently of the primary filter element to retain the safety filter element in housing upon removal of the primary filter element from the housing.
