Abstract
A collapsible free standing exercise apparatus for performing multiple body weight exercises is disclosed. The collapsible free standing exercise apparatus comprises a pair of hollow vertical bars separated at a predetermined distance via a connector bar assembly removably fastened at a lower portion of each hollow vertical bar. A first handle bar is removably fastened to each vertex joint on each pair of hollow vertical bars and a second handle assembly removably fastened between each pair of hollow vertical bars at a predetermined position via a support section disposed at distal ends of the second handle bar. A method of fixing the collapsible free standing exercise apparatus for use is also disclosed.
Claims13
A collapsible free standing exercise apparatus, the apparatus comprising:
- two pairs of hollow vertical bars separated at a predetermined distance via two connector bars, wherein the connector bars are removably fastened at a lower portion of each hollow vertical bar, wherein the first pair of hollow vertical bars is parallel to the second pair of hollow vertical bars, wherein the hollow vertical bars are inclined to each other within each pair but not located in the same plane, wherein an upper vertex joint is defined on each hollow vertical bar;
- a first handle bar removably fastened to one of two vertex joints of each pair of hollow vertical bars, wherein the first handle bar is used by a first user to perform body weight exercises;
- a second handle assembly removably fastened between each pair of hollow vertical bars at a predetermined position, wherein the second handle assembly comprises;
- a second handle bar, wherein the second handle bar is used by a second user to perform body weight exercises;
- a support section disposed at distal ends of the second handle bar, wherein each end of the support section is removably fastened across each hollow vertical bar within each pair via a pin member and wherein the support section comprises a pin member to removably fasten each end of the second handle bar to a center of the support section, wherein the support section comprises three smaller sections that are inserted into each other to make a distance setting, wherein a plurality of holes disposed in each of the smaller sections of the support section helps to adjust a length of the support section and the smaller sections of the support section are fixed by using one or more fastening members, thereby enabling a user to fix any one of the smaller sections of the support section to define the distance setting between each hollow vertical bar;
- and an adjustable bar with collapsible sections removably fastened to each hollow vertical bar within each pair at another predetermined position, wherein each adjustable bar comprises plurality of holes to receive a pin member to selectively adjust the length of each adjustable bar, wherein the distance between each hollow vertical bar within the pair is adjusted;
- further comprising a ground engaging cushion member fixedly attached to each hollow vertical bar as unified member of the exercise apparatus and removably attached to the connector bars, said ground engaging cushion member comprises a vertical section and an extended horizontal section to define an inverse T-shaped structure, and further comprises a force bearing section, wherein one end of the force bearing section is welded from an end of the extended horizontal section to the vertical section of the ground engaging cushion member to define a shape of a triangle, thereby counteract all the horizontal forces to reduce the horizontal wobble of the free standing exercise apparatus effectively when the user performs the exercise.

A method of assembling a collapsible free standing exercise apparatus for use, the method comprising the steps of:
- removably fastening two pairs of hollow vertical bars separated at a predetermined distance via two connector bars, wherein the first pair of hollow vertical bars is parallel to the second pair of hollow vertical bars, wherein the hollow vertical bars are inclined to each other within each pair but not located in the same plane, wherein an upper vertex joint is defined on each hollow vertical bar;
- removably fastening a first handle bar to one of two vertex joints of each pair of hollow vertical bars, wherein the first handle bar is used by a first user to perform body weight exercises;
- removably fastening a second handle assembly between each pair of hollow vertical bars at a predetermined position, wherein the second handle assembly comprises;
- a second handle bar, wherein the second handle bar is used by a second user to perform body weight exercises;
- a support section disposed at distal ends of the second handle bar, wherein each end of the support section is removably fastened across each hollow vertical bar within each pair via a pin member and wherein the support section comprises a pin member to removably fasten each end of the second handle bar to a center of the support section, wherein the support section comprises three smaller sections that are inserted into each other to make a distance setting, wherein a plurality of holes disposed in each of the smaller sections of the support section helps to adjust a length of the support section and the smaller sections of the support section are fixed by using one or more fastening members, thereby enabling a user to fix any one of the smaller sections of the support section to define the distance setting between each hollow vertical bar;
- and removably fastening an adjustable bar with collapsible sections to each hollow vertical bar within each pair at another predetermined position, wherein each adjustable bar comprises plurality of holes to receive a pin member to selectively adjust the length of each adjustable bar, wherein the distance between each hollow vertical bar within the pair is adjusted;
- fixedly attaching a ground engaging cushion member to each hollow vertical bar as unified member of the exercise apparatus and removably attaching it to the connector bars, said ground engaging cushion member comprises a vertical section and an extended horizontal section to define an inverse T-shaped structure, and further comprises a force bearing section, wherein one end of the force bearing section is welded from an end of the extended horizontal section to the vertical section of the ground engaging cushion member to define a shape of a triangle, thereby counteract all the horizontal forces to reduce the horizontal wobble of the free standing exercise apparatus effectively when the user performs the exercise.
