Claims16
A stand configured for attaching an exercise attachment assembly thereto, the stand comprising:
- a pivotable leg extending from a first end to a second end;
- a foldable support connected to the pivotable leg via a hinge assembly;
- the hinge assembly having a base support bracket having a first sidewall and a second sidewall, the pivotable leg secured between the first sidewall and the second sidewall such that the pivotable leg can rotate about a hinge axis and the base support bracket connected to the foldable support such that the foldable support is configurable from a storage position to a support position;
- and
- an extension leg attached to the pivotable leg and supporting the exercise attachment assembly via a connecting member;
- wherein the exercise attachment assembly is held a distance above a ground surface via the pivotable leg and the extension leg.
A combination of a stand and an exercise attachment assembly, comprising:
- the stand having:
- a pivotable leg extending from a first end to a second end;
- a foldable support connected to the pivotable leg via a hinge assembly;
- the hinge assembly having a base support bracket having a first sidewall and a second sidewall, to the pivotable leg secured between the first sidewall and the second sidewall such that the pivotable leg can rotate about a hinge axis and the base support bracket connected to the foldable support such that the foldable support is configurable from a storage position to a support position;
- and
- an extension leg attached to the pivotable leg and supporting the exercise attachment assembly via a connecting member;
- the exercise attachment assembly having:
- an extension connected to the connecting member;
- and
- one or more handles attached to the extension;
- wherein the exercise attachment assembly is removable from the extension leg via the connecting member;
- and
- wherein the exercise attachment assembly is held a distance above a ground surface via the pivotable leg and the extension leg.
A hinge assembly as part of a stand for receiving an exercise attachment assembly, the hinge assembly comprising:
- a base support bracket having a first sidewall and a second sidewall forming an opening therebetween, the opening configured to receive a pivotable leg and secure the pivotable leg therein via a hinge axis;
- a channel formed between the first sidewall and the second sidewall, the channel configured to receive an extension leg;
- a mounting member extending from the base support bracket and having a first pivot axis configured to connect to a first lateral member and a second pivot axis configured to connect to a second lateral member;
- a first auxiliary aperture extending from the base support bracket;
- a second auxiliary aperture extending from the first lateral member, wherein the second auxiliary aperture is configured to align with the first auxiliary aperture when the first lateral member is pivoted into a storage position;
- and
- a first locking member configured to extend through the first auxiliary aperture and the second auxiliary aperture when the first and second auxiliary members are aligned;
- wherein the hinge assembly is configured to allow the pivotable leg, the first lateral member, the second lateral member, and the extension leg to orient from a support position to the storage position.
