Abstract
A training device that includes a base member having opposed sides that are for grasping by the hands of a user, a cross bar supported over the base member, a support post mounted from the base member at a lower end of the support post and for supporting the cross bar at an upper end of the support post, and a pair of cables separately attached at opposite ends of the cross bar.
Claims16
A training device comprising:
- a base member having opposed sides that are for grasping by the hands of a user;
- an elongated cross bar supported over the base member and having opposed ends;
- a single support post mounted from the base member at a lower end of the support post and for supporting the elongated cross bar at an upper end of the support post at a position intermediate the opposed ends of the elongated cross bar;
- a swivel joint at the upper end of the support post for supporting the cross bar from the support post, for providing a swivel motion relative to the support post and constructed and arranged to have a swivel axis that extends in a direction between the base member and the elongated cross bar,
- a pivot joint at the lower end of the support post for pivotally mounting the support post relative to the base member, for providing a pivoting motion relative to the base member and constructed and arranged to have a pivot axis that extends substantially orthogonal to the swivel axis;
- a pair of cables separately attached at the opposed ends of the elongated cross bar;
- wherein the base member has an elongated slot that extends in a direction that is substantially orthogonal to the pivot axis;
- wherein the pivot joint includes a pivot joint bolt at the lower end of the support post for mounting the support post from the base member;
- and
- wherein the pivot joint bolt extends through the elongated slot in the base member to support the pivot joint relative to the base member.
A training device in combination with weight training equipment to which a set of cables are attached, said training device comprising a base member having opposed sides that are for grasping by the hands of a user, a cross bar supported over the base member, a support post mounted from the base member at a lower end of the support post and for supporting the cross bar at an upper end of the support post at a position intermediate opposed ends of the cross bar, a swivel joint at the upper end of the support post for supporting the cross bar from the support post, for providing a swivel motion relative to the support post and constructed and arranged to have a swivel axis that extends in a direction between the base member and the elongated cross bar, a pivot joint at the lower end of the support post for pivotally mounting the support post relative to the base member, for providing a pivoting motion relative to the base member and constructed and arranged to have a pivot axis that extends substantially orthogonal to the swivel axis, wherein the set of cables from the weight training equipment are each separately attached at the opposed opposite ends of the cross bar;
- wherein the base member has an elongated slot that extends in a direction that is substantially orthogonal to the pivot axis;
- wherein the pivot joint includes a pivot joint bolt at the lower end of the support post for mounting the support post from the base member;
- and
- wherein the pivot joint bolt extends through the elongated slot in the base member to support the pivot joint relative to the base member.
A training device in combination with a set of cables that are attached at a fixed position at one end thereof, said training device comprising a base member having opposed sides that are for grasping by the hands of a user, a cross bar supported over the base member, a support post mounted from the base member at a lower end of the support post and for supporting the cross bar at an upper end of the support post at a position intermediate opposed ends of the cross bar, a swivel joint at the upper end of the support post for supporting the cross bar from the support post, for providing a swivel motion relative to the support post and constructed and arranged to have a swivel axis that extends in a direction between the base member and the elongated cross bar, a pivot joint at the lower end of the support post for pivotally mounting the support post relative to the base member, for providing a pivoting motion relative to the base member and constructed and arranged to have a pivot axis that extends substantially orthogonal to the swivel axis, wherein the set of cables, at an opposed end thereof, are each separately attached at the opposed ends of the cross bar;
- wherein the base member has an elongated slot that extends in a direction that is substantially orthogonal to the pivot axis;
- wherein the pivot joint includes a pivot joint bolt at the lower end of the support post for mounting the support post from the base member;
- and
- wherein the pivot joint bolt extends through the elongated slot in the base member to support the pivot joint relative to the base member.
