A seating apparatus with adjustable cushioning, comprises a seat base and an inflatable bladder comprising a plurality of air cells. The inflatable bladder is positioned in between at least two polyurethane foam layers, supported on the seat base. The seating apparatus further comprises a pump unit operatively connected to the inflatable bladder via a conduit for inflating or deflating the plurality of air cells for providing adjustable firmness to the seating apparatus.

The present invention relates in general to roller assembly apparatuses, and specifically to roller assembly apparatuses used in treadmills. An embodiment of the invention includes a roller apparatus, comprising: a shaft with raised surfaces on each end, a rotatable tube disposed around a portion of the shaft, and bearing assemblies. The bearing assemblies are disposed between the raised surfaces of the shaft and the rotatable tube such that the inner surfaces of the bearing assemblies contact the raised surfaces which allows the inner surfaces of the bearing assemblies to rotate on the raised surfaces, thus eliminating forces on the inner surfaces of the bearing assemblies.

Roller assembly apparatus and method of use

A treadmill folds for storage and includes a main frame structure, a pivoting frame, a resisting mechanism, an articulating structure, and an articulating mechanism. The pivoting frame pivotally mounts to the main frame structure along a main pivot axis such that a user may pivot the pivoting frame between a substantially vertical position and a substantially horizontal position. The pivoting frame supports a conveyor. The resisting mechanism applies a torsional resisting moment to the pivoting frame. The resisting moment opposes a moment which gravity induces on the pivoting frame. Upon moving the pivoting frame between the vertical position and the horizontal position, the articulating mechanism automatically articulates the articulating structure between a stored, retracted position and an extended position which stabilizes the treadmill.

An exercise apparatus comprising a frame, a pivot arm mounted on the frame, a resistance mechanism, preferably an elastomeric torsion member, and a positioning element which allows the pivot arm to be pivotally adjusted with respect to the frame, independent of the resistance element, so as to vary the neutral position of the pivot arm. The preferred embodiment may also comprise a shaft mounted to the frame for conveying torque to the elastomeric torsion member and a support arm mounted to the frame to oppose rotation of the elastomeric torsion member about the shaft. In one embodiment, the exercise apparatus takes the form of a weight bench. In a second embodiment, the exercise apparatus is a home gym. In a third embodiment, the exercise machine comprises a frame, a pivot arm pivotally mounted on the frame, the pivot arm having a neutral position, the pivot arm configured to be moveable alternatively by the front and the back of a user's body, and at least one resistance member connected to the pivot arm for creating bidirectional resistance to movement of the pivot arm. In the third embodiment the machine preferably also comprises a seat, for supporting a user rotatably connected to the frame. The invention also includes the method of using the machine to perform various exercises.

A totally enclosed lottery or game card scraper box is disclosed. The box is designed as a simple two-handed portable device which scrapes the opaque covering from game or lottery cards and stores the scrapings within the box. The box seals itself and can be carried on a person without spilling its contents. A second feature offered by the box protects the game or lottery card surface frown inadvertent damage whilst scrapping the opaque covering from the surface of the card.
