Abstract

A jump box for training athletes that eliminates a lot of the hazards of using a traditional jump box. The device has a base, a back frame and a platform the height of which can be adjusted in small increments. The platform is sized and shaped to extend further towards the athlete than any other portion of the jump box making it considerably safer than other devices on the market. In addition, the platform of the jump box is angled downward slightly to make it easier for the athlete to jump on the device. The weight and construction of the device makes it virtually impossible to knock over. In addition, because of the shape and orientation of the platform, athletes can use the box without injuring themselves if they miss a jump.

A jump box for use in training comprising:

a base having a plurality of legs;
and
at least one pair of vertical supports wherein each vertical support in the at least one pair of vertical supports has a first end and a second end;
wherein the first end of each of the vertical supports is directly attached to the base such that each of the vertical supports extends upward and away from the base;
and wherein the second end of each of the vertical supports is attached directly to a horizontally oriented crossbar;
and
wherein the at least one pair of vertical supports has a height adjustment system integrated therein;
wherein the height adjustment system comprises a plurality of holes featured by the at least one pair of vertical supports and at least one cable operably connected to at least one spring that is operably connected to a pin configured to fit into the plurality of holes, such that pulling on the at least one cable causes the spring to stretch producing a pulling force on the pin;
