Abstract
Embodiments are described for an exercise sled including an upper portion detachably coupled to a lower portion through telescoping leg assemblies located at the corners of the sled. The upper portion includes a flat jumping surface to facilitate jumping or step-up type exercises, and the lower portion includes a sled rail portion to facilitate sliding across a surface, and a weight platform for the addition of plate weights. A number of attachment hooks facilitate the use of cords or handles to perform resistance exercises using the sled as an exercise platform.
Claims16
An exercise sled comprising:
- a lower portion of substantially rectangular shape defined along a plane and having four legs positioned perpendicular to the plane at each corner of the rectangle, wherein the lower portion comprises a pair of rails for sliding across a ground each rail having a first portion with a surface engageable with the ground along the plane and an upwardly projecting portion rising up from the surface;
- an upper portion detachably coupled to the lower portion through matching leg sections and including a flat surface, wherein the upper portion and lower portion each comprises a plurality of legs disposed perpendicular to the top surface, and wherein the legs of the upper portion are configured to be inserted within corresponding legs of the lower portion, and wherein the plurality of legs of the upper portion and lower portion each include at least one hole drilled therethrough to accommodate a fixing pin that fixes an inserted location of a leg of the upper portion to the corresponding leg of the lower portion;
- and
- a plurality of attachment hooks disposed around at least one of the lower portion and upper portion for facilitating pulling or pushing the sled across the surface.
An apparatus for performing exercises by one or more people simultaneously by dragging the apparatus along a surface or using the apparatus as weight resistance, comprising:
- a jumping box including an upper portion detachably coupled to a lower portion and a non-slip layer on a top surface of the box;
- a sled portion formed as part of the jumping box and comprising upward projected rails configured to slide along the surface;
- and
- a plurality of fixed hooks disposed around the upper portion and lower portion to facilitate the attachment of pushing or pulling accessories, wherein the upper portion and lower portion each comprises a plurality of legs disposed perpendicular to the top surface, and wherein the legs of the upper portion are configured to be inserted within corresponding legs of the lower portion, and wherein the plurality of legs of the upper portion and lower portion each include at least one hole drilled therethrough to accommodate a fixing pin that fixes an inserted location of a leg of the upper portion to the corresponding leg of the lower portion.
A modular exercise apparatus comprising:
- a bottom sled portion comprising a pair of upward projecting rails having a flat section for sliding along a surface, wherein rails of the pair of rails are coupled to each other through a beam section;
- an upper jumping box portion detachably coupled to the bottom sled portion through a telescoping leg assembly that allows the upper jumping box portion to be set at one of a plurality of defined heights relative to the surface;
- and
- a non-slip layer coupled the upper jumping box portion to facilitate movement of one or more users on the upper jumping box, wherein the telescoping leg assembly comprises a first set of legs coupled to the upper jumping box and disposed perpendicular to a plane defined by the surface;
- and a second set of legs coupled to the bottom sled portion and disposed perpendicular to the plane defined by the surface, and wherein the first set of legs is configured to be insertable into the second set of legs and attached in a fixed manner by pins inserted through holes formed in each of the first and second set of legs.
