Abstract
A trolley assembly for a weight arm includes first and second trolley members that capture a vertical member of a weight rack and is selectively slidable. An arm bracket is configured to rotatably support the weight arm and the arm bracket is pivotably coupled to the trolley members about a pivot point. The pivot point defines a pivot axis that is orthogonal to the longitudinal axis. Additionally, a position lock assembly includes an engagement pin supported on the arm bracket remote from the pivot point and a guide plate defining two or more pin receivers. The position lock assembly defines a pivot angle of the arm bracket around the pivot axis relative to the trolley members.
Claims20
A trolley assembly for a weight arm, the trolley assembly comprising
- a first trolley member configured to be disposed on a first side of a vertical member of a weight rack, the vertical member defining a longitudinal axis;
- a second trolley member configured to be disposed on an opposite, second side of the vertical member of the weight rack, the first trolley member couplable to the second trolley member to capture the vertical member of the weight rack therebetween, the trolley assembly being selectively slidable along the longitudinal axis;
- and
- an arm bracket further
- configured to rotatably support the weight arm about a first pivot axis axially transverse to the longitudinal axis and in a plane parallel to the first side of the vertical member;
- and
- pivotably coupled to the second trolley member about a second pivot axis that is orthogonal to both the longitudinal axis and the first pivot axis, and that is positioned below the first pivot axis with respect to the longitudinal axis of the vertical member.
A weight arm assembly for a weight rack, the weight arm assembly comprising
- a trolley assembly configured to couple to a vertical member of the weight rack, the vertical member defining a longitudinal axis and the trolley assembly being selectively slidable along the longitudinal axis on the vertical member, the trolley assembly comprising
- a first trolley member configured to be disposed on a first side of the vertical member of the weight rack;
- a second trolley member configured to be disposed on an opposite, second side of the vertical member of the weight rack, the first trolley member couplable to the second trolley member to capture the vertical member of the weight rack therebetween;
- an arm bracket pivotably coupled to the second trolley member about a pivot point, the pivot point defining a pivot axis that is orthogonal to the longitudinal axis;
- and
- a weight arm rotatably coupled at a first end to the arm bracket around a rotation axis orthogonal to both the longitudinal axis and the pivot axis and configured to couple to a weight bar member, wherein the rotation axis is located above the pivot axis with respect to the longitudinal axis of the vertical member.
