Abstract
A plyometric exercise device having an extended exercise position and a collapsed storage position. The plyometric exercise device has a flat top for use as a jump-off platform when raised above a ground surface, and a support frame that can be extended or assembled into the extended exercise position, or collapsed into the collapsed storage position. A base can be used as part of the support frame or as a separate component provided in the extended exercise position as a secure footing of the plyometric exercise device onto the ground surface.
Claims16
A plyometric exercise device, comprising:
- a flat top;
- a base;
- and
- a folding support frame;
- wherein the plyometric exercise device is configured as a box in an exercise position in which the folding support frame is attached to and raises the flat top above the base to a predetermined distance corresponding to an exercise height of the plyometric exercise device;
- and
- a storage position in which the folding support frame is folded and is at least partially enclosed within a recess of the flat top, reducing a distance between the flat top and the base to a storage height of the plyometric exercise device;
- wherein the folding support frame comprises (a) one or more folding side panels, each comprising two leaves connected by a hinge enabling rotation about a horizontal axis thereof such that in the storage position the two leaves are folded on each other, and in the exercise position the two leaves are rotated about the hinge to provide a maximum side panel extension and to support the exercise height of the plyometric exercise device;
- and (b) one or more support studs, which in the exercise position of the plyometric exercise device extend from the flat top to the base of the plyometric exercise device to support the one or more folding side panels in an extended position, and in the storage position of the plyometric exercise device fit at least partially within a storage space in one or both of the flat top and the base.
