Attorney, Agent or Firm: Hamilton, Brook, Smith & Reynolds

An exercise rowing machine is disclosed which includes a stationary seat and a rocker assembly. A handle grip coupled to a sprocket assembly drives a flywheel mounted with the rockers assembly. Fins attached to the flywheel provide braking.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim: 1.
An exercise rowing machine for use by a rower comprising: a stationary seat; a rocker assembly positioned adjacent to the seat; coupling means for coupling the seat relative to the rocker assembly; oar handle simulating means adapted to be grasped by the rower; resistance means for providing resistance to the pull of the oar handle simulating means such that rowing is simulated when the oar handle simulating means is pulled by the rower; and foot members fixed to the rocker asembly aganist which the rower's leg force operates to cause the rocker assembly to rock.
2.
An exercise rowing machine as claimed in claim 1 wherein said coupling means exerts a reactive force opposite to the rower's leg force.
3.
An exercise rowing machine as claimed in claim 2 wherein the coupling means is a flexible mat secured to the rocker and extending beneath the seat.
4.
An exercise rowing machine as claimed in claim 1 wherein the resistance means comprises a rotatable flywheel mounted within the rocker assembly.
5.
An exercise rowing machine as claimed in claim 4 further comprising braking means for resisting the rotation of the flywheel.
6.
An exercise rowing machine as claimed in claim 5 wherein the braking means are fan blades attached to the flywheel.
7.
An exercise rowing machine comprising: a stationary seat; a rocker assembly positioned adjacent to the seat; coupling means for coupling the seat relative to the rocker assembly; a handle grip coupled to the rocker assembly; resistance means for providing resistance to the handle grip to simulate a rowing resistance; and foot members fixed to the rocker assembly for receiving a rower's leg force to cause the rocker assembly to rock.
8.
An exercise rowing machine as claimed in claim 7 wherein said coupling means exerts a reactive force opposite to the rower's leg force.
9.
An exercise rowing machine as claimed in claim 8 wherein the coupling means is a mat secured to the rocker assembly and extending beneath the seat.
