Exercise device

An exercise device for indoor and outdoor usage, comprising:

• a bench having a substantially planar upper surface;
• a pair of spaced side rails disposed above said upper surface of said bench and extending throughout a major portion of the length of said bench, said side rails being closer together at one end than at the other end;
• a pair of posts supporting each said side rail so that said each side rail is capable of bearing the weight of an exerciser along its length, said posts extending above a supporting surface for supporting said side rails thereabove;
• base means for fixing the lower end of each said post adjacent said supporting surface to provide a stable support for said posts and to prevent movement of said posts relative to said supporting surface;
• and
• a transverse end rail adapted to bear the weight of an exerciser along its length, said end rail being disposed above said upper surface of said bench and extending between said spaced side rails adjacent an end thereof and being disposed in a plane substantially parallel to that of said side rails and said upper surface of said bench and being capable of adjustable up-down movement relative to said spaced side rails and said upper surface of said bench.

An exercise equipment accessory, comprising:

• one or more dumbbells, each having a bar portion with a weight member connected thereto adjacent its ends;
• an elongated support member adapted for connection to a surface;
• a plurality of bar-supporting arms connected to said support member and extending therefrom, each said bar-supporting arm being adapted to receive said bar portion of one of said dumbbells;
• and
• locking means for preventing removal of said dumbbells from said accessory when said dumbbells are not in use.

An exercise device, comprising:

• a pair of spaced side rails, each said side rail being supported at its ends by a support post so as to be capable of bearing the weight of an exerciser along its length, said side rails being substantially coplanar and spaced above a supporting surface by said support posts, with each said side rail being provided with a portion extending from an end thereof in parallel relation to each other and further being provided with diverging portions extending from said parallel portions toward the other end of said side rails, so that the ends of said side rails are closer together at one end than at the other and form an intermediate elbow therebetween;
• said support posts being adjustably positionable so that said side rails may be spaced at varying heights above said support surface;
• a transverse end rail extending between said side rails at the divergent end of said side rails and supported by said support posts, said transverse end rail being adjustably positionable at selective heights above said side rails;
• base means for providing a rigid support of said support posts to said supporting surface;
• a bench including an exercise surface disposed between said side rails at an elevation therebelow, said bench being adjustably positionable to selective heights above said supporting surface;
• and
• a dumbbell rack adapted for connection to one of said support posts for storing one or more dumbbells having a weight portion and a bar portion, said rack including a support member having a plurality of dumbbell-supporting arms extending therefrom, with each said arm adapted to receive the bar portion of one of said dumbbells, said dumbbell rack including locking means for retaining said dumbbells on said dumbbell-supporting arms when said dumbbells are not in use.
