Benefits of technology

The patent describes an exercise device that can be easily installed in a door frame. The device includes a telescoping crossbar and a pair of support arm assemblies that extend through the door frame. The support arm assemblies have a fixed shim and a movable clamp that can be controlled by a trigger to secure the device to the door frame. The method involves leveling the device across the doorway and checking vertical alignment, and then releasing the triggers to automatically ratchet the clamps down their spar and bear against the front parts of the door frame. Overall, this invention provides a convenient and effective way to work out in a door frame.

Problems solved by technology

However, these myriad systems often require physical fixed engagement with the door frame, in which fasteners are employed to attach hardware, causing permanent damage thereto.

Embodiment Construction

[0017]Referring to FIGS. 1-7, the exercise device 100 includes a telescoping, elongate, main crossbar 150 (hereafter “hang bar 150”) which is supported by a pair of support arm assemblies 200 which are configured to extend through a door frame so that the hang bar 150 is supported in both the vertical and horizontal planes in front of the door frame. As can be seen from the figures, there is no physical fasteners that are required to be screwed into the door frame or wall to secure the exercise device 100 thereto.

[0018]The device 100 is designed so that forces exerted thereon are distributed evenly across the support arm assemblies 200, such that further force exertion on the device 100 when it is properly seated in the door frame further seats the device 100 while avoiding any damage to the wall surfaces and / or door frame. Further, the device 100 requires no fixed installation or hardware which would damage woodwork, wall surfaces, etc.

[0019]The design of the device 100 takes advan...

Abstract

An exercise device is provided which, when it is properly seated in a door frame further seats the device while avoiding any damage to the wall surfaces and / or door frame. Further, the device requires no fixed installation or hardware which would damage woodwork, wall surfaces, etc. The device includes a pair of support arm assemblies configured to extend through a door frame, a crossbar attached to the support arm assemblies and extending across a front side of the door frame, each support arm assembly including a movable clamp slidable under trigger control on a spar thereof, and a fixed shim on the spar distal end cooperating with the movable clamp to secure the device to the door frame.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]The present application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 652,014 to MacColl et al., filed May 25, 2012, the entire contents of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein.BACKGROUND[0002]1. Field[0003]The example embodiment is directed to an exercise device, more particularly to an exercise device configured to be secured to a door frame for doing various exercises thereon.[0004]2. Related Art[0005]Door frame or doorway exercise devices are known in the art. Various types have structure secured to an interior side of the doorway with handles protruding in the doorway or slightly outward from the door frame for exercise therewith. However, these myriad systems often require physical fixed engagement with the door frame, in which fasteners are employed to attach hardware, causing permanent damage thereto.SUMMARY[0006]An example embodiment is directed to an exercise device which inc...
