Press arm

Abstract

An exercise gymnasium is composed of a frame assembly, a movable pivot arm assembly carried by the frame assembly, and a press arm assembly carried by the pivot arm assembly. The press arm assembly includes an inverted U-press arm that includes a pair of press arms and is rotationally attached to the pivot arm. A pair of handles for hand grasping by a user is provided. Each of the press arms carries a track assembly affixed to the handles. Movement of hte handles is restricted to vertical movement by the track assemblies.

1 . In an exercise gymnasium of a frame assembly, a movable pivot arm assembly carried by said frame assembly, and a press arm assembly carried by said pivot arm assembly, the improved press arm assembly, which comprises:
 (a) an inverted U-press arm rotationally attached to said pivot arm, said U-press arm having a pair of press arms;   (b) a pair of handles for hand grasping by a user; and   (c) each of said press arms carrying a track assembly affixed to said handles, said handles restricted to vertical movement by said track assemblies.   
   
   
       2 . The press arm assembly of  claim 1 , wherein a bearing assembly rotationally connects said press arm to said pivot arm. 
   
   
       3 . The press arm assembly of  claim 1 , wherein a stop pin is reversibly movable to suppress said press arm rotational movement. 
   
   
       4 . The press arm assembly of  claim 1 , wherein said track assembly carries a linear bearing assembly connected to said handles for their vertical movement. 
   
   
       5 . The press arm assembly of  claim 1 , which further comprises a locking pin activatable to disable the rotation of said U-press arm rotational relative to said pivot arm. 
   
   
       6 . The press arm assembly of  claim 1 , wherein said handles reversibly lock to said track assembly.
