Abstract

According to one embodiment a removable assembly provides for mounting of a hangboard including a first unit and at least a first bracket for connecting the hangboard to the first unit. The first unit may include a first member configured to be placed over a door opening on a fist side of a wall and a second member which can be positioned across the opening and against a second side of the wall. A third member is configured for attachment to the second member such that when the first member is placed over the opening and the second member is positioned against the second side of the wall, at least a portion of the third member is positioned above the second member. A related method provides a removable assembly for mounting of a hangboard. Numerous other embodiments are disclosed.

Dependent claims

A removable assembly for providing temporary mounting of a board of the type suitable for improving strength in the fingers, forearms, biceps or back muscles, in a walkthrough opening, such as a doorway formed above a floor and along a wall having first and second opposing sides, the wall including a supportive strip positioned above the opening along the first side of the wall, the removable assembly comprising:

a first member configured to be placed over the strip and along the first side of the wall when mounting the hangboard;
a second member configured for attachment to the first member when the assembly is in a deployed configuration wherein the second member can be positioned across the opening and against the second side of the wall while the first member is positioned over the strip;
and
a third member configured for attachment to the second member in the deployed configuration;
at least a fourth member configured to connect or attach the first, second and third members to one another to effect the deployed configuration so that, when the first member is positioned over the strip and the second member is positioned against the second side of the wall, a load is transferable from the third member through the fourth member to the wall so that when the removeable assembly is positioned with the first member over the strip and the second member against the second side of the wall, the third member is supported above the floor.
