Abstract
A modular, easily constructible exercise assembly providing pull-up type exercise routines is disclosed. This particular solution is designed to be secured to a stationary upright object, or anchor. The unique construction of the exercise assembly can be broken down into base components to conveniently fit into a back pack. Its specific structure and design is optimized to limit wear and material failure. Additionally, adjustability is provided to various components as detailed herein. For example, an exercise bar can articulate at different angles and extend and lengthen as selected by a user. Also, a securing bar is adjustable for coupling the exercise assembly to different sized stationary objects.
Claims11
A mountable exercise bar assembly for mounting to a substantially stationary object, the mountable exercise bar assembly comprising:
- a base plate having a mating surface for contacting and mating to the stationary object;
- a securing bar coupled to the base plate and extending at least partially around the stationary object for securing and stabilizing the mountable exercise assembly;
- an extension arm extending outwardly from the base plate;
- and
- an exercise bar extending laterally and horizontally from the outwardly extending extension arm, the exercise bar configured for performing a plurality of exercises by a user, the exercise bar assembly comprising a plurality of components being detachable for assembly and disassembly and for stowage and transport, the exercise bar further comprising:
- a handle bar section extending laterally with respect to the extension arm;
- an elbow portion providing a partially curved shape;
- a first articulating member coupled to a first end of the handle bar section via a first joint;
- a second articulating member coupled to a second end of the handle bar section via a second joint;
- a left hand bar slidingly and adjustably connected to the second articulating member as to selectively extend the left hand bar;
- and
- a right hand bar slidingly and adjustably connected to the second articulating member as to selectively extend the right hand bar, the first and second articulating members providing a range of angle adjustment.
A mountable exercise bar assembly for mounting to a substantially stationary object, the mountable exercise bar assembly comprising:
- a base plate having a flat mating surface for contacting and mating to the stationary object;
- an extension arm extending outwardly from the base plate;
- an exercise bar extending laterally and horizontally from the outwardly extending extension arm, the exercise bar configured for performing a plurality of exercises by a user, the exercise bar assembly comprising a plurality of components being detachable for assembly and disassembly and for stowage and transport;
- the base plate further comprising a parallel pair of opposing lateral side plates extending outwardly from the base plate flat mating surface, the extension arm being configured between the pair of opposing lateral side plates;
- and
- the exercise bar further comprising:
- a handle bar section extending laterally with respect to the extension arm;
- an elbow portion providing a partially curved shape;
- a first articulating member coupled to a first end of the handle bar section via a first joint;
- a second articulating member coupled to a second end of the handle bar section via a second joint;
- a left hand bar slidingly and adjustably connected to the second articulating member as to selectively extend the left hand bar;
- and
- a right hand bar slidingly and adjustably connected to the second articulating member as to selectively extend the right hand bar, the first and second articulating members providing a range of angle adjustment.
A mountable exercise bar assembly for mounting to a substantially stationary object, the mountable exercise bar assembly comprising:
- a base plate having a flat mating surface for contacting and mating to the stationary object;
- an extension arm extending outwardly from the base plate;
- an exercise bar extending laterally and horizontally from the outwardly extending extension arm, the exercise bar configured for performing a plurality of exercises by a user, the exercise bar assembly comprising a plurality of components being detachable for assembly and disassembly and for stowage and transport;
- a pin fulcrum coupled to the extension arm, the pin fulcrum providing the extension arm to rotate past a horizontal position;
- and
- the exercise bar further comprising:
- a handle bar section extending laterally with respect to the extension arm;
- an elbow portion providing a partially curved shape;
- a first articulating member coupled to a first end of the handle bar section via a first joint;
- a second articulating member coupled to a second end of the handle bar section via a second joint;
- a left hand bar slidingly and adjustably connected to the second articulating member as to selectively extend the left hand bar;
- and
- a right hand bar slidingly and adjustably connected to the second articulating member as to selectively extend the right hand bar, the first and second articulating members providing a range of angle adjustment.
