A pulley system for a weight lifting apparatus, comprising:
- a swivel bracket attached to a V brace bracket using a first bolt and a first locking nut positioned on a rear side of the V brace bracket;
- a V brace attached to the V brace bracket using a plurality of V brace attachment bolts and V brace attachment nuts;
- a pulley bracket attached to the swivel bracket using a plurality of friction-reducing first washers, a second bolt, and a second locking nut;
- and
- a pulley attached to the pulley bracket with a third bolt and a third locking nut;
- wherein the V brace, the V brace bracket, the swivel bracket, the pulley, and the pulley bracket along with the plurality of friction-reducing first washers collectively form a main assembly, wherein the main assembly is configured to be secured to a beam by inserting the first bolt through a hole in the beam, wherein the main assembly is fastened to the beam using a conical tapered nut, thereby facilitating fit on the weight lifting apparatus, and wherein the V brace is configured to rotate up to 90 degrees when the first bolt is loosened.
A method for installing a pulley system onto a weight lifting apparatus, the method comprises:
- attaching, a swivel bracket to a V brace bracket using a first bolt and a first locking nut positioned on a rear side of the V brace bracket;
- securing, a V brace to the V brace bracket with a plurality of V brace attachment bolts and corresponding V brace attachment nuts;
- attaching, a pulley bracket to the swivel bracket with a plurality of first washers, a second bolt, and a second locking nut;
- mounting, a pulley onto the pulley bracket with a third bolt and a third locking nut;
- inserting, a main assembly comprising the swivel bracket, V brace bracket, V brace, pulley bracket, pulley, and first washers, wherein the main assembly is configured to be secured to a beam by inserting the first bolt through a hole in the beam of the weight lifting apparatus;
- and
- connecting, the main assembly to the beam of the weight lifting apparatus using a conical tapered nut allowing to secure a thread onto the first bolt that passes through multiple different-sized holes on the weight lifting apparatus, wherein the V brace is configured to rotate up to 90 degrees when the first bolt is loosened.
