| Abstract: |
The exercise machine of the present invention is comprised of articulated arms which can be moved between retracted cocked positions and extended punching positions in order to simulate the throwing of a punch. The upper portions of the arms are in the form of parallelogram linkages which allow them to be moved between extended and retracted positions at their point of connection with the body of the machine. A shoulder, which rotates about the post which supports the machine activates the parallelogram linkages so as to extend the arm attached to the side of the shoulder which is moved forward and retract the arm on the side of the shoulder which is moved rearward. A motor, which causes the shoulder to rotate is activated by a control system. A microprocessor associated with the control system permits the machine to be preprogrammed to throw a series of punches in particular combinations to give the appearance of an actual boxer.

What is claimed is:
1. An exercise machine which simulates a human boxer by throwing punches at and receiving punches thrown by the user, comprising:
- (a) an upright support;
- (b) a simulated shoulder element having opposed ends, said shoulder element being attached intermediate said ends to said support;
- (c) means for rotating said shoulder element about said support;
- (d) a pair of simulated arms having first ends which are attached to the ends of said shoulder element and second ends which have simulated glove fists located thereon;
- (e) linkage means associated with said shoulder element and said arms for moving the arm which is attached to the end of said shoulder element which is being rotated toward its associated arm to an extended position and moving the arm which is attached to the end of said shoulder element which is being rotated away from its associated arm to a retracted position;
- (f) wherein said linkage means includes first hinged joints which are located at said first ends of said arms with the first hinged joint of one of said arms being attached to each of the ends of said shoulder element, and second hinged joints which are located medially on said arms; and
- (g) said upright support includes a fixed portion and a rotating portion which can be rotated relative to said fixed portion, and said shoulder element is attached to said rotating portion.
