Abstract
An exercise assembly with parallel and spaced upright posts, a grip rod spanning the posts and having the opposite end portions movably connected to the posts by means of hollow joints each having a vertical lower pipe section movably receiving the associated end portion of the grip rod and a horizontal pipe section, said opposite end portions of the grip rod having bulges provided with slanted elliptical holes, operation cylinders disposed within said horizontal pipe sections and receiving the opposite end portions of the grip rod, first connector rods received in said operation cylinders and slanted elliptical holes and second connector rods connecting said operation cylinders to said horizontal pipe sections of the joints.
Claims8
An exercise assembly for supporting a user comprising a pair of spaced and parallel upright posts adapted to be supported at the lower ends thereof on a support surface, joints each having a lower vertical pipe section freely pivotable on the upper end portion of the associated post and an upper horizontal pipe section having a pair of diametrically opposite through holes in the wall of said horizontal pipe section, a grip rod for supporting a user during exercise and spanning said posts and having the opposite end portions received in said horizontal pipe sections, said opposite end portions of the grip rod each having a laterally and outwardly extending bulge provided with an elliptical through hole inclined to the horizontal and extending at right angles to the longitudinal axis of said grip rod, operation sleeves disposed within said horizontal pipe sections of the joints and receiving said opposite end portions of the grip rod, each of said operation sleeves having a first pair of diametrically opposite through holes inclined at an angle with respect to the horizontal and a second pair of diametrically opposite horizontal through holes in the wall of the operation sleeve in alignment with said pair of diametrically opposite through holes in the horizontal pipe sections of the associated joint, first connector rods each being pivotally received in said first pair of inclined through holes in the associated operation sleeve, respectively, said each connector rod further having a laterally and outwardly extending bulge of elliptical cross-section in the center of the connector rod freely received in the inclined elliptical through hole in the bulge on the associated end portion of the grip rod, and second connector rods each freely pivotable in the aligned horizontal through holes in the horizontal pipe section of the associated joint and the associated operation sleeve.
An exercise assembly for supporting a user comprising a pair of spaced and parallel upright posts adapted to be supported at the lower ends thereof on a support surface,
- flexible joints each having a lower portion received on the upper end of the associated post,
- a grip rod for supporting a user during exercise and spanning said posts and having the opposite end portions received in said flexible joints,
- first pivotal interconnection means between an end of said grip rod and the associated post establishing limited pivotal movement therebetween about a vertical axis when a horizontal force is applied to the rod during exercise,
- second pivotal interconnection means between an end of said grip rod and the associated post establishing limited pivotal movement therebetween about a horizontal axis when a vertical force is applied to the rod during exercise,
- third pivotal interconnection means between an end of said grip rod and the associated post establishing limited pivotal movement therebetween about an axis at a substantially 45.degree. angle on one side of the vertical when a slanting force is applied to the rod during exercise, and
- fourth pivotal interconnection means between an end of said grip rod and the associated post establishing limited pivotal movement therebetween about an axis at a substantially 45.degree. angle on the other side of the vertical when a slanting force is applied to the rod during exercise.
