Abstract

A folding exercise rack system which may be both adjusted with respect to a wall and adjusted between a folded position for storage and an extended position for use. The folding exercise rack system generally includes an exercise rack that is both adjustable with respect to the wall and foldable between extended and retracted positions. The exercise rack generally includes a pair of inner support members which are adjustably connected to the wall, and a pair of outer support members which are adjustable between an extended position and a retracted (e.g., folded) position. In the extended position, the outer support members are distally spaced away from the inner support members and wall. In the retracted position, the outer support members are positioned adjacent to the wall.

Dependent claims

A folding exercise rack system, comprising:

a first inner support member;
a first upper linkage connected to the first inner support member, wherein the first upper linkage is adapted to be adjustably connected to a wall;
a first upper hinge adapted to be connected to the wall, wherein the first upper linkage is pivotably and slidably connected to the first upper hinge;
a second inner support member;
a second upper linkage connected to the second inner support member, wherein the second upper linkage is adapted to be adjustably connected to the wall;
a second upper hinge adapted to be connected to the wall, wherein the second upper linkage is pivotably and slidably connected to the second upper hinge;
a first upper arm connected to the first inner support member;
a first lower arm connected to the first inner support member below the first upper arm;
a first outer support member connected to the first upper arm and the first lower arm;
a second upper arm connected to the second inner support member;
a second lower arm connected to the second inner support member below the second upper arm;
and
a second outer support member connected to the second upper arm and the second lower arm;
wherein the first outer support member is adjustable between a first extended position in which the first outer support member is distally positioned away from the wall and a first folded position in which the first outer support member is positioned adjacent to the wall by pivotably moving the first upper linkage relative to the first upper hinge;
wherein the second outer support member is adjustable between a second extended position in which the second outer support member is distally positioned away from the wall and a second folded position in which the second outer support member is positioned adjacent to the wall by pivotably moving the second upper linkage relative to the second upper hinge.
