Abstract
A kit provides an anchor for an exercise system. The kit includes a mount having spaced-apart first and second knuckles configured (i) to span interlaced knuckles of first and second leaves of a standard hinge assembly that mounts a door in a frame in an opening, the interlaced set of knuckles defining a passageway for receiving an original hinge pin, and (ii) to define a channel having a diameter sufficient to accommodate the diameter of the hinge pin. The kit also includes a replacement hinge pin, which, when inserted into the channel and the passageway, reaches the first and second knuckles of the mount defining the channel, and transforms the mount to the anchor.
Claims7
A method of providing an anchor for an exercise system, the method comprising:
- removing an original hinge pin from a hinge assembly that mounts a door in a frame in an opening, the hinge assembly including a first leaf mounted to the frame and a second leaf mounted to the door, the first and second leaves having an interlaced set of knuckles that define a passageway for the original hinge pin;
- positioning a mount having spaced-apart first and second knuckles configured (i) to span the interlaced set of knuckles of the first and second leaves and (ii) to define a channel, so that when the mount is positioned, the channel is aligned with the passageway;
- and
- installing a replacement hinge pin, longer than the original hinge pin, so as to occupy the passageway and the channel and to transform the mount into an anchor.

- and
- a replacement hinge pin having a diameter that is not greater than a diameter of the original hinge pin and a length sufficient so that, when the mount is positioned so that the channel is aligned with the passageway, the replacement hinge pin, when inserted into the channel and the passageway, reaches the first and second knuckles of the mount defining the channel.
