Arm wrestling and curling machine apparatus

Abstract

An arm wrestling and curling exercise apparatus comprises a rectangular frame having oppositely disposed side walls joined by end walls. The apparatus further comprises a handle assembly having a pivotally mounted T-shaped handle support member comprising a horizontally aligned pivot shaft carrying a lever arm extending perpendicularly therefrom for the purpose of mounting the handle support member. The pivot shaft carries a pair of sleeve members mounted on either side of the lever arm. Each of the sleeve members carries a downwardly extending cable post. The lever arm is slidably receptive of a cylindrical housing member which passes over the upper cap bushing, the spring biasing means and the slidable bushing to be threadably received by the lower cap nut. The lever arm is also provided with a grip member which is releasably secured to the cylindrical housing. The apparatus is further provided with a biasing means for selectively controlling the resistance under which the lever arm rotates during operational use. A cable member is pivotally attached to each of the cable posts. Each cable is extended under the lower transverse bar and through the sheave member; the cable then extends to a rectangular biasing connection unit. A biasing component is releasably secured to the biasing connection unit at one end, and releasably secured to a biasing retainer member at the other end. The invention can be provided in two operational embodiment: arm wrestling and arm curling with selective resistance levels.
