Abstract

An assembly for mounting of a hangboard includes first and second brackets each having first and second opposing end regions and a first elongate member having first and second spaced apart connection points configured for attachment to the first end regions of the first and second brackets. A second elongate member has third and fourth spaced apart connection points configured for simultaneous attachment to the first and second brackets. The second elongate member has a third connection point configured for attachment at a point along a portion of the first bracket between the first and second end regions thereof; and the fourth connection point configured for attachment at a point along a portion of the second bracket between the first and second end regions thereof. When the first and second members are so attached the assembly can be suspended within a wall opening.

Dependent claims

An assembly for mounting of a hangboard along an opening in a wall, comprising:

first and second brackets each having first and second opposing end regions;
a first elongate member having first and second spaced apart connection points, the first connection point configured for attachment to the first end region of the first bracket and the second connection point configured for attachment to the first end region of the second bracket;
a second elongate member having third and fourth spaced apart connection points configured for simultaneous attachment to the first and second brackets, while the first elongate member is simultaneously attached to (i) the first end region of the first bracket at the first connection point and (ii) the first end region of the second bracket at the second connection point, the second elongate member having:
the third connection point configured for attachment at a point along a portion of the first bracket between the first and second end regions thereof;
and the fourth connection point configured for attachment at a point along a portion of the second bracket between the first and second end regions thereof, such that when the first and second members are both so attached to the first and second brackets and the assembly is suspended within the opening of the wall and above a floor, with the first member positioned on a first side of the wall and the second member positioned against a second side of the wall opposite the first side of the wall, the second end regions of the first and second brackets have a vertical orientation and are positioned for attachment of the hangboard thereto so that, when the hangboard is attached to the vertically oriented second end regions of the first and second brackets, the hangboard is positioned above the floor for use.

a first elongate member having first and second spaced apart connection points, the first connection point configured for attachment to the first end region of the first bracket and the second connection point configured for attachment to the first end region of the second bracket;
first and second T-shaped brackets each having a shaft and a connecting arm, wherein each shaft comprises third and fourth spaced apart connection points, spaced appropriately for connection to a backerboard to which the hangboard may be attached, or for connection directly to the hangboard, and wherein the connecting arms provide attachment for the second opposing end regions of the first and second brackets;
a second elongate member having fifth and sixth spaced apart connection points configured for simultaneous attachment to the first and second T-shaped brackets at each connecting arm, while the first elongate member is simultaneously attached to (i) the first end region of the first bracket at the first connection point and (ii) the first end region of the second bracket at the second connection point, the connecting arms of the T-shaped brackets are each attached to (i) the second opposing end regions of the first and second brackets and (ii) the second elongate member at the fifth and sixth connection points, such that when the first and second members are both so attached to the first and second brackets and to the T-shaped brackets, the assembly can be suspended within the opening of the wall and above a floor, with the first member positioned on a first side of the wall and the second member positioned against a second side of the wall opposite the first side of the wall, so that when the hangboard is attached to the T-shaped brackets at the end of the first and second brackets the hangboard is positioned above the floor for use.
