Exercise device
View Patent ↗A collapsible exercise device includes a vertical support member, first and second sets of rails pivotally connected to each other, and a strut interconnecting the vertical support member and the rails. A user support platform engages the rails. First and second combination pulley-support and pull-up bars are pivotally connected to the first end of the first set of rails for movement between at least a substantially vertical position and a substantially horizontal position. First and second pulleys are slidably connected to bars and receive a cable, which is also connected to the user support platform. The exercise device is foldable such that the vertical support member, the rails and the strut are substantially parallel to each other; and the rails are extendable from the vertical support member and are alignable such that the user support platform is rollable along the first and second pulleys.
1. A collapsible exercise device, comprising:
a vertical support member;
a first set of rails, each of the first set of rails having a first end and a second end, the first end of each of the first set of rails being pivotally connected to, and adjustably supported by, the vertical support member;
a second set of rails, each of the second set of rails having a first end and a second end, the first end of each of the second set of rails being pivotally connected to the second end of the first set of rails;
a strut with a first end and a second end, the first end of the strut being pivotally connected to the vertical support member and the second end of the strut being pivotally connected to the rails where the rails are pivotally connected to each other;
a user support platform with rollers engaging the first and second set of rails,
first and second combination pulley-support and pull-up bars each pivotally connected to the first end of the first set of rails for movement between at least a substantially vertical position and a substantially horizontal position where the combination pulley-support and pull-up bars are used for performing pull-ups;
first and second pulleys slidably connected to the first and second combination pulley-support and pull-up bars for slidable movement of the pulleys to a desired location; and
one or more cables extendable through first and second pulleys and connected to the user support platform;
wherein the exercise device is foldable such that the vertical support member, the first set of rails, the second set of rails and the strut are substantially parallel to each other; and
wherein the first and second set of rails are extendable from the vertical support member and are alignable such that the user support platform is rollable along the first and second rails.
2. A collapsible exercise device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first and second combination pulley-support and pull-up bars each have a trapezoidal configuration.
3. A collapsible exercise device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first and second pulleys each include a collar slidably attached to the combination pulley-support and pull-up bar and a pull pin carried by the collar for locking the pulley in position on the combination pulley-support and pull-up bar.
4. A collapsible exercise device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a folding squat platform pivotally and removably connected to the second end of the second set of rails.
5. A collapsible exercise device as claimed in claim 4 , further including a squat stand telescopingly and removably engaged with the folding squat platform.
6. A collapsible exercise device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a push-up bar removably connected to the second end of the second set of rails.
7. A collapsible exercise device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a padded foot support removably connected to the second end of the second set of rails.
8. A collapsible exercise device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a dip bar assembly connected to the second set of rails, and the dip bar assembly including a pair of dip bars movable between at least a retracted, out-of-the way position, and a non-retracted, ready-for-use position.
9. A collapsible exercise device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a foot support assembly pivotally connected to the first set of rails, and the foot support assembly pivotable between at least a retracted, out-of-the way position, and a non-retracted, ready-for-use position.
10. A collapsible exercise device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the strut is adjustable in length.
11. A collapsible exercise device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said one or more cables include a single cable with opposite ends, and handles each connected to the opposite ends of the single cable.
12. A collapsible exercise device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the vertical support member includes a vertical support tower including opposite sides with tower level tracks therein, the tower level tracks including multiple vertically spaced hooks, the first end of each of the first set of rails being pivotally connected to, and adjustably supported by opposite hooks of the tower level tracks.
