Abstract
A retractable wall mounted exercise rack system for providing an exercise rack that may be easily and compactly stored when not in use. The retractable wall mounted exercise rack system generally includes one or more brackets attached to a wall, a pair of support members, and a plurality of arms pivotally extending from the brackets and pivotally connecting to the support members. One or more actuators are connected between the brackets and the arms to assist in lifting the structure into a compact retracted position for storage.
Claims20
A retractable wall mountable exercise rack, comprising:
- a first support member;
- a first set of arms connected to the first support member, wherein the first set of arms are adapted to be pivotally connected to a wall;
- a second support member spaced apart from the first support member;
- and
- a second set of arms connected to the second support member, wherein the second set of arms are adapted to be pivotally connected to the wall;
- wherein the support members have an extended position and a retracted position, wherein the support members are positioned near or adjacent to the wall when in the retracted position and wherein the support members are distally positioned away from the wall when in the extended position;
- wherein the first support member and the second support member are substantially vertically orientated and substantially parallel to one another when in the extended position;
- wherein the first support member includes a plurality of first apertures adapted to removably receive a first support bracket and wherein the second support member includes a plurality of second apertures adapted to removably receive a second support bracket, wherein the first support bracket and the second support bracket are configured to removably receive and support a barbell.
