A resistance apparatus includes a track adapted to be secured in a vertical position on a support. A vertical slide is mounted and slideable and has on the track a spring loaded plunger near a first end thereof. A hook is mounted on the slide and has a pair of spaced apart legs, with upper and lower end portions, with the lower end portions of the legs connected by an upwardly extending U-shape portion. The upper end portion of the second leg has a downwardly extending curved portion which is laterally spaced from the upper end portion of the first leg to form therewith an entrance opening into the interior of the hook. A resistance band has an intermediate portion which is received in the interior of the hook through the entrance opening to permit a person to grasp the ends of the resistance band and to perform various resistance exercises.
A resistance apparatus comprising:
The resistance apparatus of claim 18, wherein the curved upper end portion of the second leg has a downwardly extending portion spaced from the first leg and inclined at an angle towards the first leg to form a throat in the entrance opening through which the resistance band enters the interior of the receiver.
The resistance apparatus of claim 18, wherein the first leg of the receiver is secured to the slide by welding or brazing.
The resistance apparatus of claim 18, wherein the first leg of the receiver has a length less than the combined length of the second leg and the curved upper end portion.
The resistance apparatus of claim 18, wherein the curved upper end portion of the second leg is arranged either vertically or at an angle towards and spaced from the slide to form the entrance opening.
A resistance apparatus comprising:
The resistance apparatus of claim 19, wherein the curved upper end portion of the second leg has a downwardly extending portion spaced from the first leg and inclined at an angle towards the first leg to form a throat in the entrance opening through which the resistance band enters the interior of the receiver when the resistance apparatus is assembled.
The resistance apparatus of claim 19, wherein the first leg of the receiver is secured to the slide by welding or brazing.
The resistance apparatus of claim 19, wherein the first leg of the receiver has a length less than the combined length of the second leg and the curved upper end portion.
The resistance apparatus of claim 19, wherein the curved upper end portion of the second leg is arranged either vertically or at an angle towards and spaced from the slide to form the entrance opening.
