Functional group () for a gymnastic machine () provided with a frame () supporting a load group () usable for executing a gymnastic exercise; the machine () comprising an actuating group () provided with at least one user interface () carried movable by the frame () to exchange power with the load group (); a modular transmission member () being arranged between each user interface () and the load group () to exchange power between these latter so as to facilitate the assembling and disassembling of the frame ().

Gymnastic machine

A safety device () for a gymnastic machine () provided with a frame () and with a gravitational load group () connected to an interface () designed to allow a user of the gymnastic machine () to perform exercises against the action of the load group (); the load group () comprising a movable equipment () provided with at least one load element () carried, in a freely sliding manner along a given direction (V), by respective guiding elements () associated to the frame (); the safety device () comprising a return group () suitable, in use, to exert a given return force (F) on the movable equipment () so as to prevent substantially inertial ascending displacements thereof.

Safety device

Regulating member () carried by an operating unit () provided with a frame () coupled in a slidable manner to a support member (M); the regulating member () comprising a handle () suitable to move the frame () relative to the support member (M); a blocking device () comprising a pin () movable between an engagement position (PI) and a regulating position (PR) transversally to the support member (M) to connect the frame () to the support member (M) in a longitudinal position definable at will; a switching member () being hinged to the first pin () to move it between the engagement position (PI) and the regulating position (PR); the handle () being connected rigidly to the switching member () to actuate the pin () transversally to the support member (M) and move the frame () along the support member (M) with the pin () arranged in the regulating position (PR).

Regulating member

A grip element for an exercise machine, comprising at least a substantially tubular handgrip (), forming at least one outer surface () to be gripped by the user's hand while performing exercises to develop muscles or the like, and having at least one substantially longitudinal through-channel () in which there will engage at least one flexible cable () connected to at least one resistant load of at least one exercise machine, the grip element being characterized in that said handgrip () comprises means () for selective locking of the grip element in any position along the cable (), the locking means being designed to prevent the handgrip () from sliding relative to the cable () when the grip element is manually translated and/or rotated in any direction in space.

Grip element for exercise machine

An exercise machine () for developing motor abilities and muscular strength, of the type comprising at least one supporting frame (), at least one flexible cable () wound on a plurality of pulleys () rotatably supported by the frame () and connected to at least one resistant load (), at least one grip element () connected to the cable () and designed to be operated by a user in order to perform an exercise, the machine being characterized in that it comprises at least one return device (), to which the ends (&#x2033;) of the cable () are connected, said return device designed to return the cable () to the initial configuration after an exercise has been performed.
