Dual purpose exercising device

An exercise device comprising:

• an elongated cylindrical bar having a smooth outer surface;
• a pair of hand grips;
• an abutment on each of said hand grips, one of said hand grips being secured to each end of said bar such that each of said abutments is positioned intermediate opposite ends of said bar;
• a pair of tubular sleeves having inner and outer ends, each of said sleeves having a bore extending therethrough, said bar being telescopically disposed in said bores, each of said sleeves having an enlarged counterbore formed in inner ends thereof, said bore and counterbore in each of said sleeves being concentric forming a shoulder inside each of said tubular sleeves intermediate opposite ends of said sleeves;
• a coiled spring having a central passage, said bar extending through said central passage, said spring having ends extending into said counter bores and into abutting relation with said shoulders such that an outer end of each of said sleeves is urged into engagement with one of said abutments on said hand grips secured to opposite ends of said bar;
• a pair of wheels;
• and means rigidly securing one of said wheels to each of said sleeves, each of said wheels being spaced from the outer end of each of said sleeves to provide an extension between the outer end of each of said sleeves and each of said wheels, said extensions being adapted to be gripped by human hands to urge said sleeves inwardly along said bar to move outer ends of said sleeves out of engagement with said abutments on said hand grips on opposite ends of the bar.
