Problems solved by technology

However, conventional push-ups, with or without push-up bars, can be difficult to perform for someone recovering from arm injuries or someone that is morbidly obese.
Moreover, for the physically fit, conventional push-ups can be boring to perform and provide limited benefit for a given number of push-ups.

Embodiment Construction

I. Enhanced Push-Up Bar Assembly

[0011]The dimensions and measurements referenced hereinbelow are intended as examples only, and not representative of the only acceptable values, or even of the preferred values.

[0012]Referring to FIG. 1, an embodiment of the present invention is shown in an exploded view to enhance visualization of the various components of the enhanced push-up bar 100 of the present invention. Additionally, FIG. 2 shows the embodiment of FIG. 1 in an assembled state. In the figures, like structures are identified with identical reference numerals.

[0013]As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the enhanced push-up bar 100 has a base section 102 coupled to a vertical support section 104 in a manner that allows the vertical support section 104 to freely slide in a vertical direction. The vertical support section 104 includes a handle portion 106 dimensioned to be comfortably grasped by a user's hand. The base section 102 is configured to provide a stable base while the user performs...

Abstract

An enhanced push-up bar assembly is provided in which the a plurality of springs are disposed therein for providing recoil during performance of push ups. The push-up bar includes a base section formed of two parallel main bodies, a plurality of spring devices having a predefined spring constant, a vertical support section dimensioned and adapted for insertion into the opening of the protrusion of each main body, and coupling with a top portion of the spring member disposed in each of the at least one cavity, and a locking member adapted for slideably holding the vertical support section in the protrusion. Each main body has at least one cavity accessible through an opening formed on a top surface of a protrusion extending perpendicular, and in a vertical direction, to the main body. Additionally, each spring member is dimensioned for insertion into the at least one cavity. The locking member is configured to allow a predefined range of vertical travel of the vertical support section within the protrusion.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates generally to physical fitness devices. More specifically, the present invention relates to enhanced push-up bars.BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE[0002]Push-ups are an important and easy exercise performed by many people wishing to increase physical fitness, particularly upper body strength. As a result many push-up aids have been developed, such as push-up bars. Push-up bars allow a user to perform deeper push-ups, which can help strengthen muscles not generally utilized when performing push-ups without the bars. Additionally, push-up bars provide a user with a more comfortable and ergonomically beneficial stance by allowing the user to perform the push-ups without flexing the wrist, which can lead to compression of nerves in the wrist.[0003]However, conventional push-ups, with or without push-up bars, can be difficult to perform for someone recovering from arm injuries or someone that is morbidly obese. Moreover, for the physica...
