[0046] This application provides a hook bracket 100, such as Figures 1-12 As shown, the hook bracket 100 includes a bracket body 1, a rotating shaft 2, and a rotating sleeve 3.
[0047] The main body of the bracket 1 includes a front panel 11 and a back panel 12 arranged opposite to each other, and two side panels 13 connecting the front panel 11 and the back panel 12 on both sides, forming an accommodating space 14 between the front panel 11, the back panel 12 and the two side panels 13.
[0048] The rotating shaft 2 is located within the accommodating space 14, and its two ends are respectively mounted on the front panel 11 and the back panel 12. The rotating sleeve 3 is hollow inside and is fitted outside the rotating shaft 2, and the rotating sleeve 3 can rotate relative to the rotating shaft 2.
[0049] like Figure 5 As shown, the side plate 13 includes side circumference portions 131 located within the length of the rotating sleeve 3. The horizontal plane where the highest radial point of the rotating sleeve 3 is located is higher than the upper end faces of the two side circumference portions 131, so that the top of the rotating sleeve 3 is exposed outside the receiving space 14, and the barbell will be supported by the rotating sleeve 3 after it is lowered. Optionally, the upper end faces of the two side circumference portions 131 are flush.
[0050] The hook bracket 100 provided in the above embodiment has a rotating shaft 2 and a rotating sleeve 3 installed on the bracket body 1. The rotating sleeve 3 can rotate relative to the rotating shaft 2, making the action of picking up and putting down the barbell smoother, improving the continuity of the training process and the user experience. In addition, through the structural design of the bracket body 1, the rotating shaft 2 and the rotating sleeve 3 are hidden in the receiving space 14, realizing the shielding and protection of the rotating shaft 2 and the rotating sleeve 3, improving usability, installation and aesthetics.
[0051] In some embodiments, the support body 1 further includes a base plate 15, which connects the back plate 12 and the two side plates 13 and encloses the bottom of the receiving space 14. The base plate 15 encloses the receiving space 14 from below, shielding internal components such as the rotating shaft 2 and the rotating sleeve 3, thus providing protection and aesthetic appeal.
[0052] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Figure 12 As shown, a bearing 4 is installed between the rotating shaft 2 and the rotating sleeve 3, and the rotating sleeve 3 is rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft 2 via the bearing 4. After installing the bearing 4 between the rotating shaft 2 and the rotating sleeve 3, rolling friction can replace sliding friction, making the rotating sleeve 3 rotate more smoothly and reducing the risk of jamming and loss of control when picking up and putting down the barbell.
[0053] In some embodiments, two bearings 4 are provided, respectively located near the two ends of the rotating sleeve 3. The inner wall of the rotating sleeve 3 includes two first inner walls 31 near the two ends and a second inner wall 32 located between the two first inner walls 31. The inner diameter of the first inner wall 31 is larger than the inner diameter of the second inner wall 32. The two first inner walls 31 cooperate with the two bearings 4 to install the bearings 4 at both ends of the rotating sleeve 3.
[0054] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Figure 12 As shown, the length of the rotating sleeve 3 is less than the length of the rotating shaft 2. The rotating sleeve 3 is positioned close to the front panel 11. A limiting sleeve 5 is also fitted onto the rotating shaft 2, located between the back plate 12 and the rotating sleeve 3. The rotating sleeve 3 is positioned between the limiting sleeve 5 and the front panel 11, and both ends of the rotating sleeve 3 are limited by the limiting sleeve 5 and the front panel 11, respectively, thereby limiting the axial position of the rotating sleeve 3. Specifically, the end of the limiting sleeve 5 near the rotating sleeve 3 abuts against the bearing 4 located on that side, thereby limiting the rotation of the rotating sleeve 3 through the bearing 4.
[0055] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-10As shown, the back plate 12 extends away from the rotation axis 2 to form a back plate extension 121. The back plate extension 121 is higher than the front panel 11. A guide 6 is installed on the side of the back plate extension 121 near the front panel 11. The front surface of the guide 6 is inclined from the upper end of the back plate extension 121 towards the rotation sleeve 3.
[0056] In the above embodiment, the inclined arrangement of the guide 6 guides the barbell bar during placement, guiding it from a position near the back plate 12 to the rotating sleeve 3. Even if the user places the barbell bar with a deviation in position, it can still slide smoothly onto the rotating sleeve 3, thus achieving the guiding effect on the barbell bar.
[0057] The guide 6 can also cover the limiting sleeve 5 located below it, improving the aesthetics. The lower end of the front surface of the guide 6 is close to the rotating sleeve 3, guiding the barbell bar forward to fall onto the rotating sleeve 3, while preventing it from falling onto the limiting sleeve 5.
[0058] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-3 and Figure 5 As shown, the side panel 13 also includes a blocking portion 132, which extends upward from the portion of the side panel 131 near the back panel 12 and blocks the side of the guide member 6. The two blocking portions 132 block the guide member 6 from the side, providing a limiting effect for the installation of the guide member 6, preventing displacement or detachment, and also improving aesthetics. Optionally, the front edges of the two blocking portions 132 have the same inclination as the guide member 6, providing good protection and limiting for the guide member 6, while also avoiding affecting the guiding effect of the guide member 6 on the barbell's descent.
[0059] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the upper end of the front panel 11 extends obliquely upward to form a guide portion 111, and the distance between the guide portion 111 and the guide member 6 gradually increases upward from the rotating sleeve 3. The guide portion and the guide portion 111 are inclined from both sides toward the rotating sleeve 3, providing guidance to the barbell bar in two directions at the same time, guiding the barbell bar onto the rotating sleeve 3, and avoiding the risk of the barbell bar not falling onto the hook bracket 100 due to positional deviation during the fall, which could cause injury to the user. During the resting process of the barbell bar, the guide member 6 and the guide portion 111 limit the translation of the barbell bar from both sides, which can avoid the risk of the barbell bar falling off due to accidental contact with external force.
[0060] In some embodiments, the side of the front panel 11 that faces away from the back panel 12 is typically the user-facing surface, on which a logo sign 17 can be installed to provide a shielding effect and improve aesthetics.
[0061] In some embodiments, an anti-slip pad 7 is installed on the side of the guide section 111 facing the back plate 12. The anti-slip pad 7 increases the friction between the barbell bar and the guide section 111, thereby improving the reliability of the guiding action.
[0062] Both the guide component 6 and the anti-slip pad 7 can be made of rubber or other materials to improve wear resistance and cushioning performance, avoid direct contact between the barbell bar and the main body 1 of the support, and extend the service life of the hook support 100.
[0063] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-8 As shown, a positioning shaft 8 is installed on the side of the back panel extension 121 away from the front panel 11. One end of the positioning shaft 8 is installed on the back panel extension 121, and the other end of the positioning shaft 8 extends away from the back panel extension 121.
[0064] like Figures 13-16 As shown, during use, the hook bracket 100 is usually installed in pairs on the two support columns 200 of the fitness equipment to support the barbell. Multiple positioning holes 201 are spaced longitudinally on the support columns 200, and the positioning shaft 8 is used to engage with the positioning holes 201 on the support columns 200 to position the hook bracket 100 at the corresponding height.
[0065] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the main body 1 of the support also includes a hook 133. The hook 133 extends from the lower part of one of the side plates 13 toward the rear side of the back plate 12 and is bent. The hook 133 is used to cooperate with the positioning shaft 8 to install the hook support 100 onto the support column 200 of the fitness equipment.
[0066] The hook 133 and the side plate 13 are set separately, or the hook 133 and the side plate 13 are set as one piece.
[0067] In some embodiments, the hook 133 includes a first plate 1331 and a second plate 1332 connected to each other. The first plate 1331 is located on one side of the back plate 12, and the second plate 1332 is located at the end of the first plate 1331 and opposite to the back plate 12. A limiting space 16 is formed between the back plate 12, the first plate 1331 and the second plate 1332. The limiting space 16 is adapted to the support column 200 of the fitness equipment and allows the support column 200 to pass through.
[0068] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8As shown, gaskets 9 are installed on the surfaces of the back plate 12, the first plate surface 1331, and the second plate surface 1332 within the limiting space 16. The gaskets 9 protect the bracket body 1, preventing wear and tear caused by friction between the bracket body 1 and the support column 200 during long-term use. During subsequent maintenance, the gaskets 9 can be replaced, extending the service life of the hook bracket 100. Optionally, the gaskets 9 can be made of plastic.
[0069] During the installation of the hook bracket 100, firstly rotate the hook bracket 100 so that the hook 133 is located on one side of the support column 200. Insert the positioning shaft 8 into the positioning hole 201 at the corresponding height on the support column 200. Then rotate the hook bracket 100 so that the support column 200 enters the limiting space 16 between the back plate 12, the first plate surface 1331 and the second plate surface 1332, thereby realizing the installation of the hook bracket 100.
[0070] During the disassembly of the hook bracket 100, first rotate the hook bracket 100 so that the hook 133 is located on one side of the support column 200. At this time, the support column 200 is disengaged from the limiting space 16, the positioning shaft 8 is pulled out from the positioning hole 201, the positioning hole 201 of different heights is replaced, and the hook bracket 100 is reinstalled to adjust the installation height.
[0071] Figures 13-19 In the embodiment shown, the hooks 133 of the two hook brackets 100 are positioned differently. Specifically, the hooks 133 of the hook bracket 100 installed on the left support column 200 are located on the left side, and the hooks 133 of the hook bracket 100 installed on the right support column 200 are located on the right side.
[0072] When hook 133 is located on the left side of bracket body 1, during installation and disassembly, such as Figure 18 As shown, by rotating the hook bracket 100 clockwise, the limiting position of the hook 133 on the support column 200 is released, thus achieving disassembly; by rotating the hook bracket 100 counterclockwise, the hook 133 is released from its limiting position on the support column 200. Figure 18 Rotate to the middle position Figure 15 In the middle position, the supporting column 200 is confined within the limiting space 16 to realize the installation of the hook bracket.
[0073] like Figure 16 and Figure 19 As shown, when the hook 133 is located on the right side of the bracket body 1, the installation and disassembly directions are opposite to those described above.
[0074] The above provides a specific embodiment of a pair of hook brackets 100, but this application is not limited to the form of the above embodiment. The hooks 133 in the pair of hook brackets 100 can also be provided on the same side of the bracket body. In addition, it is understood that the vertical distance between the positioning shaft 8 and the hook 133 should be greater than the horizontal distance between the positioning hole 201 and the side edge of the support column 200, so that the hook 133 can be disengaged from the support column 200 by rotating the hook bracket 100.
[0075] like Figures 13-19 As shown in the figure, this application embodiment also provides a multifunctional fitness equipment, including at least two vertically arranged support columns 200 and two hook brackets 100 as described in any of the above claims, with the two hook brackets 100 correspondingly installed on the two support columns 200.
[0076] The aforementioned multifunctional fitness equipment, by installing the hook bracket 100 provided in this embodiment, supports the barbell. During the loading and unloading of the barbell, the rotating sleeve 3 can smoothly rotate around the rotating axis 2, improving the continuity of the training process and the user experience. Simultaneously, the hook bracket 100 conceals the rotating axis 2 and the rotating sleeve 3 within the internal receiving space 14, improving usability, installation, and aesthetics.
[0077] The multifunctional fitness equipment in this application can be a squat rack or bench press rack, etc., allowing users to perform a variety of training movements such as bench press and incline press with the help of barbell bars to meet their daily training needs.
[0078] Finally, it should be noted that the various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other.
[0079] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application and not to limit them; although this application has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the specific implementation of this application or equivalent substitutions can be made to some technical features without departing from the spirit of the technical solutions of this application, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the technical solutions claimed in this application.
