Abstract
Embodiments of the disclosure provide an exercise apparatus that may be converted from a horizontally oriented bed to a vertically oriented exercise station with various attachments. The exercise apparatus includes locking means to secure it in either the vertical orientation or the horizontal orientation. Further, attachments include a rack attachment with telescopic legs.
Claims20
An exercise apparatus comprising:
- a frame having a plurality of support legs extending perpendicularly therefrom;
- a base having a stand for supporting the frame;
- and
- one or more attachments configured to rotate from a first position in which the one or more attachments is stowed and positioned within the frame and a second position in which the one or more attachments away from the frame,
- wherein the one or more attachments comprise a rack having first and second legs each configured to rotate from the first position in which each of the first and second legs is stowed and positioned within the frame and the second position in which each of the legs extends substantially perpendicularly from the frame,
- wherein each of the first and second legs comprise an outer portion and an inner portion, configured such that the inner portion can be extended from and retracted into the outer portion, and in the first position, the inner portion of the legs are substantially retracted into the outer portion,
- wherein, the frame is configured in a pivotable relationship with the base such that the frame is permitted to pivot relative to the base from a first, upright configuration to a second, horizontal configuration,
- wherein the frame is selectively restrained in the first, upright configuration by a locking mechanism engaging the base, the locking mechanism comprising an actuator and at least one retaining pin biased in a locked position to restrain pivoting of the frame relative to the base, and wherein the locking mechanism is configured to be released by operation of the actuator.

A bed comprising:
- a frame having an upper side for supporting a mattress and an underside, and a plurality of support legs extending perpendicularly therefrom;
- a base having a stand for supporting the frame;
- and
- one or more attachments attached to the underside of the frame configured to rotate from a first position in which the one or more attachments is stowed and positioned within the frame and a second position in which the one or more attachments away from the frame,
- wherein the one or more attachments comprise a rack having first and second legs each configured to rotate from the first position in which each of the first and second legs is stowed and positioned within the frame and the second position in which each of the legs extends substantially perpendicularly from the frame,
- wherein each of the first and second legs comprise an outer portion and an inner portion, configured such that the inner portion can be extended from and retracted into the outer portion, and in the first position, the inner portion of the legs are substantially retracted into the outer portion,
- wherein, the frame is configured in a pivotable relationship with the base such that the frame is permitted to pivot relative to the base from a first, upright configuration to a second, horizontal configuration,
- wherein the frame is selectively restrained in the first, upright configuration by a locking mechanism engaging the base, the locking mechanism comprising an actuator and at least one retaining pin biased in a locked position to restrain pivoting of the frame relative to the base, and wherein the locking mechanism is configured to be released by operation of the actuator.
