Abstract
An exemplary exercise device includes, among other things, an attachment structure configured to be mounted to a support assembly, a first arm directly pivotably connected to the attachment structure, a second arm directly pivotably connected to the attachment structure, a bracket directly pivotably connected to the first arm and directly pivotably connected to the second arm, and a catch member configured for accepting a weight bar. The catch member is pivotably connected to at least one of the first arm, the second arm, or the at least one bracket such that the at least one catch member is pivotable relative to the at least one bracket.
Claims20
An exercise device, comprising:
- at least one attachment structure configured to be mounted to a support assembly;
- a first arm directly pivotably connected to the at least one attachment structure;
- a second arm directly pivotably connected to the at least one attachment structure;
- at least one bracket directly pivotably connected to the first arm and directly pivotably connected to the second arm;
- and
- at least one catch member configured for accepting a weight bar, the at least one catch member pivotably connected to at least one of the first arm, the second arm, or the at least one bracket such that the at least one catch member is pivotable relative to the at least one bracket.
A method of adjusting a height of an exercise device comprising the steps of:
- selecting a first course height of the exercise device along a structure support assembly to attach at least one attachment structure;
- selecting a second fine height of the exercise device by engaging an extension member;
- maintaining a first arm parallel to a second arm when selecting the second fine height, the first arm directly pivotably connected to a bracket that is directly pivotably connected to the second arm;
- and
- permitting at least one catch member to pivot relative to the bracket during the maintaining, the at least one catch member configured for accepting a weight bar.
A method of positioning an exercise device, comprising:
- adjusting a position of at least one catch member that receives a weight bar;
- during the adjusting, pivoting a first arm and a second arm together relative to at least one attachment structure mounted to a support assembly, the first arm and the second arm each directly connected to the at least one attachment structure;
- during the adjusting, pivoting the first arm and the second arm together relative to at least at least one bracket, the first arm and the second arm each directly connected to the at least one bracket;
- and
- during the adjusting, pivoting the catch member relative to the bracket.
