Abstract

A squat depth gauge includes a base support frame, two rule rods, and an indicator member. The base support frame includes a first rod and two second rods disposed at opposite sides of the first stick. The length of the first rod in the first direction is adjustable. The base support frame is detachable. The rule rods stand at two opposite sides of the first rod. The rule rods include vertical scales which increasing from bottom to top. The indicator is detachably disposed on the rule rods to determine a distance from ground to the indicator member.

Claims (31)

1 . A squat depth gauge, comprising:

a base support frame comprising a first rod and two second rods disposed on opposite sides of the first rod, wherein a length of the first rod along a first direction is adjustable, and wherein the base support frame is detachable;

two ruler rods vertically erected at both ends of the first rod, each of the ruler rods having a vertical scale, which increases from bottom to top; and

an indicator member detachably disposed on the ruler rods to determine a distance from ground to the indicator member.

2 . The squat depth gauge of claim 1 , wherein the base support frame comprises:

two L-shaped adapters, each comprising two resilient arms and a sleeve,

wherein the resilient arms of the L-shaped adapters are configured to clamp the second rods, and the ruler rods are disposed within the sleeves of the L-shaped adapters.

3 . The squat depth gauge of claim 2 , wherein the base support frame further comprises:

two engagement pieces, each comprising two hooks, wherein the L-shaped adapters and the first rod respectively include a plurality of slots corresponding to the hooks, and wherein the L-shaped adapters are assembled to the first rod by engaging the hooks with the slots.

4 . The squat depth gauge of claim 3 , wherein each of the engagement pieces is shaped as a right-angled triangle, and the hooks are disposed on two side edges of each engagement piece.

5 . The squat depth gauge of claim 1 , wherein the indicator member comprises an elastic cord and two hooks disposed at opposite ends of the elastic cord.

6 . The squat depth gauge of claim 1 , wherein the first rod comprises at least a first sliding member and a second sliding member,

wherein the first sliding member is slidable relative to the second sliding member to adjust the length of the first rod along the first direction.

7 . The squat depth gauge of claim 6 , wherein the first rod comprises a transverse scale disposed on the first sliding member,

wherein the first sliding member comprises a plurality of positioning holes corresponding to the transverse scale, and

wherein the base support frame comprises a positioning component configured to engage with one of the positioning holes to position the second sliding member relative to the first sliding member.

8 . The squat depth gauge of claim 1 , wherein each of the second rods is adjustable in length along a second direction.

9 . The squat depth gauge of claim 8 , wherein each second rod comprises at least a third sliding member and a fourth sliding member,

wherein the third sliding member is slidable relative to the fourth sliding member to adjust the length of the second rod along the second direction.

10 . The squat depth gauge of claim 9 , wherein each second rod includes a longitudinal scale disposed on the third sliding member,

wherein the third sliding member comprises a plurality of positioning holes corresponding to the longitudinal scale, and

wherein the base support frame comprises two positioning components, each of the positioning components is configured to engage with one of the positioning holes to position the fourth sliding member relative to the third sliding member.

11 . The squat depth gauge of claim 1 , wherein the base support frame comprises two weight blocks disposed at ends or midsections of the second rods.

12 . The squat depth gauge of claim 1 , wherein each ruler rod comprises a basic ruler section having a first side surface and a second side surface that are adjacent or opposite to each other,

wherein the vertical scale is disposed on the first side surface, and

wherein the basic ruler section includes a plurality of holes corresponding to the vertical scale, the holes are disposed on the second side surface.

13 . The squat depth gauge of claim 12 , wherein each ruler rod further comprises an additional ruler section optionally assembled onto the basic ruler section.

14 . The squat depth gauge of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of height range markers disposed along the ruler rods from bottom to top,

wherein visual differentiation is provided between the plurality of height range markers.

15 . The squat depth gauge of claim 1 , wherein the first rod comprises two detachable sliding members,

wherein each of the sliding members is welded to the second rod, respectively.
