Benefits of technology

[0011]Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a portable exercise pole having removable parts, where nothing is screwed into the floor or ceiling, thereby making the pole portable and simple to assemble and disassemble.
[0012]Still another object of the present invention is to provide a portable exercise pole having stop nuts and a jam nut, which counter compressive forces giving the pole added support and stability.
[0013]It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a portable exercise pole with 2-inch diameter rods so the athlete can grip the pole comfortably with one hand while performing exercises.

Problems solved by technology

Aerobic and other conventional exercise classes tend to grow somewhat redundant over time, and participants tend to become bored.

Embodiment Construction

[0035]FIG. 1 is an assembly drawing of the components of a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0036]The present invention is a portable exercise pole 1 that generally comprises a first hollow rod 2 with a base 3 connected at the bottom, an extension 4, and a top piece 5. The base 3 generally comprises a round plate 6 with a flange 7 having holes 8 (four being illustrated) drilled therein for insertion of an equivalent number of rubber stops therethrough. The rubber stops provide friction between the floor surface (e.g. carpet, tile, hardwood) and the base 3, and thus the base 3 more firmly grips the surface allowing the pole 1 to stand sturdy vertically and withstand lateral forces. Stops made of rubber are preferred because they will not mar floor surfaces. The round plate 6 includes three screws for connecting first rod 2 to first plate 6.

[0037]First 9 and second 10 threaded collars (e.g. stop nuts) are welded inside toward the top of the first rod 2. First threaded col...

Abstract

Disclosed is a portable exercise pole that generally comprises a first hollow rod with a round base connected at the bottom, an extension, and a top piece. First rod has first and second threaded collars (e.g. nuts) welded therein. The extension generally comprises a second rod having a first threaded rod at the bottom, capped with first and second threaded collars. Third and fourth threaded collars are welded inside second rod. Top piece generally comprises a second round plate connected to a second threaded rod that snugly fits into third and fourth threaded collars or directly into first and second threaded collars, if the extension is not used. An alternate embodiment of the pole generally comprises floor and ceiling bases, a first hollow rod, a threaded insert, an extension, and an adjustment rod. Pole exercises are designed to tone and strengthen an athlete's muscles as well as build self-confidence.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to exercise equipment and the use thereof, and more particularly to a portable exercise pole mounted from floor to ceiling that does not mar either surface.[0003]2. Description of the Background[0004]Aerobic and other conventional exercise classes tend to grow somewhat redundant over time, and participants tend to become bored. Consequently, there is always a demand for imaginative and different exercises and routines to encourage people to continue enjoying fitness in their lives, as well as to help clubs and instructors retain their customers. Recent exercise trends include pilates, step aerobics, spinning, cardio kick-boxing, and many other equipment-intensive exercises. Pilates equipment includes, for example, a soft rubber ring, therapy exercise balls, power cords, and a mat. Step aerobics requires use of a portable aerobic exercise step. An exercise bicycle is necessary to partake in ...
