Exercise system

Abstract

An exercise device is provided. The exercise device may include a mounting mechanism, a telescoping tube assembly and at least one strapping mechanism. The telescoping tube assembly may be extended and / or retracted to removably secure the exercise device within a frame, so that an operator may perform body-weight supported exercise routines therefrom. Moreover, the at least one strapping mechanism may adjustably slide about the telescoping tube assembly so that the operator may precisely set attachment points for any exercising accessories, such as resistance bands.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the benefit of priority of U.S. provisional application No. 61 / 815,613, filed 24 Apr. 2013, the contents of which are herein incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to exercise systems and, more particularly, to an exercise devices that may be adjustably mounted to a door frame.[0003]Current exercise systems using resistance bands typically mount on a door. As a result, there attachment points are predetermined by the size and shape of the door, and so not adjustable. Moreover, the stationary attachment points are usually only at the top and the bottom of the door. Therefore, certain groups of muscles cannot be properly engaged, because these non-adjustable attachment points of resistance are either too high or too low. Additionally, some use pulleys that are noisy. Another problem is that utilization of such devices sometimes require that the door be closed, conseque...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is an exercise device that can be easily attached to a frame. The device includes a telescoping tube assembly and a join tube assembly. The telescoping tube assembly has two main tubes and a join tube. The join tube has two ends with a pinhole near each end and a push button pin connected within it. The telescoping tube assembly slides into the join tube so that the push button pins assumes a fastened position. The exercise device also includes at least one end tube with a pinhole fastener and a mounting mechanism for securely attaching the exercise device to the frame. The technical effects of this invention are that it provides a simple and convenient way to attach an exercise device to a frame and securely engages the device in place, allowing for easy and effective use.

Problems solved by technology

As a result, there attachment points are predetermined by the size and shape of the door, and so not adjustable.

Therefore, certain groups of muscles cannot be properly engaged, because these non-adjustable attachment points of resistance are either too high or too low.

Additionally, some use pulleys that are noisy.

Another problem is that utilization of such devices sometimes require that the door be closed, consequently only one person can workout at a time, and the use of the doorway is blocked off.

Furthermore, such devices take up too much space, and consist of many different and connected parts, and hence result in costly manufacture and lengthy installation.
