Abstract
A home basic body exercise device having a clamp for engaging the walls of adjacent rooms above a doorway with a depending frame pivotally connected to the clamp at one end beneath the doorway and having a bar with a rotatable padded cover at the other end. High tension spring means connect the clamp to the frame intermediate its ends. The device is used to exercise all body areas from a basic standing position acting against the resistance of the spring.
Claims7
An exercise device for exercising all body areas in a stand-up position, said device being positionable in a doorway comprising:
- (a) retaining means for positioning the exercise device in a fixed position between opposed walls in a doorway, said retaining means including opposed members having means for frictionally engaging said opposed walls above the doorway independently of a door frame,
- (b) depending means pivotally connected to the retaining means and having means to accommodate the hands of a user, and
- (c) tensioned resilient means urging the depending means toward the retaining means to provide a resistance to pivotal movement of said depending means.
A stand up exercise device for suspending in a houshold doorway comprising:
- (a) retaining means for positioning the exercise device in a fixed position between opposed walls in a household doorway,
- (b) depending means pivotally connected to the retaining means, said depending means including side bars connected adjacent to one end by a cross bar and pivotally mounted on the retaining means at the other end,
- (c) a rotatable grip member surrounding the end cross bar adapted to be engaged by the hands of a user and rotatable about said end cross bar, and
- (d) tensioned resilient means urging the depending means toward the retaining means to provide a resistance to pivotal movement of said depending means.
A stand up exercise device for suspending in a household doorway comprising:
- (a) retaining means for positioning the exercise device in a fixed position between opposed walls in a household doorway, said retaining means comprising spaced U-shaped members adapted to frictionally engage the opposed walls above the doorway opening,
- (b) depending means pivotally connected to the retaining means and having means to accommodate the hands of the user, and said depending means including side bars connected adjacent to one end by a cross bar and pivotally mounted on the retaining means at the other end, and
- (c) tensioned resilient means urging the depending means toward the retaining means to provide a resistance to pivotal movement of said depending means, the resilient means being connected between each of the side bars and each of said U-shaped retaining members.
