Device for suspending rings for gymnastic exercises

A system for vertically suspending at least one hand grasped device from an elevated structure and allowing for variations in a height of the at least one hand grasped device, the at least one hand grasped device including an exercise ring, the system comprising:

• a device frame having an upper end defining a point of attachment for fixed suspension from the elevated structure;
• a cam buckle supported by and positioned on a lower end of the device frame, the cam buckle having a pivot axle;
• a spool having a rotation axle, the spool axially supported on the device frame at a position between the upper end and the lower end of the device frame;
• a coil power spring fixed to the device frame, the coil power spring gearlessly and peripherally coupled to the spool;
• and
• a strap wound onto the spool, the strap comprising indicia spaced at regular intervals to facilitate setting a plurality of the at least one hand grasped device to a same height, the strap extending from the spool towards the lower end of the device frame, the strap having a lower end extending from within the cam buckle to a point of attachment on the at least one hand grasped device;
• wherein release of the cam buckle allows the strap to be drawn out from the spool or alternately retracted back onto the spool, wherein closure of the cam buckle prevents the strap from movement therethrough in at least a downward direction, and wherein the coil power spring serves to preference the retraction of the strap back onto the spool after being drawn out from the spool when the cam buckle is released.
