Abstract
A self supporting frame for exercising comprises a pair of spaced standards each having an upper and a lower end. Each standard has a respective base attached to a lower end thereof for engaging a floor surface and supporting the frame in an upright position. Each standard also has secured thereto a lower rod respectively. The rods extend outwardly in generally opposed directions and cantilever from a respective standard lower end. The frame is weighted with a pair of plates each having an aperture therethrough for slidably receiving one of the rods, the plates thereby being supported by and connected to a lower end of the standards. A bar extends between and is attached at opposed ends thereof to upper ends of each standard, the frame thereby being liftable by a person grasping the bar.
Claims18
A weight lifting safety frame comprising:
- (a) a pair of upright horizontally spaced standards;
- each of said standards having an upper and a lower end and inner and outer surfaces, said inner surfaces being in opposed facing relationship;
- (b) a pair of horizontally spaced bases for engaging a support surface;
- each of said bases attached to a respective standard lower end;
- (c) a pair of rods positioned near the lower ends of the standards;
- each of said rods extending outwardly from a respective standard outer surface;
- (d) a plurality of weighted plates;
- each said plate having an aperture therethrough for slidably receiving and being supported by only a respective rod;
- and
- (e) said standard upper ends being interconnected by a generally horizontally aligned upper bar;
- said upper bar having a pair of opposed ends, each said end being attached to a respective standard upper end;
- said frame being liftable by a person grasping said upper bar intermediate said standard upper ends.
A weight lifting safety frame comprising:
- (a) a pair of spaced standards each having an inner surface and an outer surface and an upper end with an aperture therethrough and a lower end with an aperture therethrough;
- (b) said inner surfaces being in facing relationship;
- (c) a pair of longitudinal bases each having a first and a second end and attached intermediate said first and second ends to a respective standard lower end;
- (d) a pair of lower rods each extending through a respective standard lower end aperture and extending from the respective standard outer surface;
- (e) a pair of weighted plates each having an aperture therethrough for slidably receiving a respective lower rod;
- (f) a pair of upper rods each extending through an aperture positioned intermediate said upper and lower ends of a respective standard, each said rod extending from the inner surface of a respective standard;
- said frame being liftable by a person grasping said upper rods;
- and
- (g) said standard upper ends being adapted for being interconnected by a generally horizontally aligned upper bar having a pair of opposed ends each extending through a respective said standard upper end aperture, said frame being liftable by a person grasping said upper bar.
A safety frame for supporting a plurality of weighted plates each having an aperture therethrough, which comprises:
- (a) a pair of upright horizontally spaced standards each having an upper and a lower end and a surface;
- (b) a pair of horizontally spaced bases for engaging a support surface, each of said bases being attached to a respective standard lower end;
- (c) a pair of rods each extending outwardly from a respective standard surface in close-spaced relation above said standard lower most end, said rods each being slidably receivable in a respective weighted plate aperture whereby a weighted plate is mounted on said safety frame by only said rods;
- and
- (d) a generally horizontally aligned upper bar interconnecting said standard upper ends, said upper bar having a pair of opposed ends each attached to a respective standard upper end;
- (e) said frame being liftable by a person grasping said upper bar intermediate said standard upper ends.
