AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention aims to provide a simple, practical, and safe way to adjust the height and spacing of a Pilates exercise device without damaging the support bars. This is achieved through the use of an adjustment mechanism with a groove on the support bar and a compression plate on the head of an adjustment screw. The adjustment is made easily and accurately, eliminating difficulties and damage to the support bars.

Problems solved by technology

The adjustment mechanisms according to the prior art cannot provide an ideal user comfort, since the mode of operation of the adjustment devices typically coupled to tube- or rod-shaped profiles is based on tightening the respective screws or relocating the respective pins.
Sometimes, the adjustment of Pilates devices turns out to be very difficult for women particularly.
On the other hand, the damages caused by screw-tightening due to adjustments made again and again, both make the profiles, i.e. the support bars, useless in time, and spoils their appearance.
This can both damage the hand of the user and reduce user comfort.
