Abstract
Abstract A lightweight metal rod which is intended to be manually held at opposite ends while being jumped over by the holder. The ends, by which it is held, are in the form of handles which may be positioned in the axis of the rod to provide one jumping height or moved to a parallel but offset position to provide a smaller jumping height.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
116 words
A hand-held jump-over exercise device, comprising: A. an elongate rod with hollow end portions; B. a pair of handles, one for and adjacent to each end of the rod; and C. pivotally connected linkage means supporting each handle on the adjacent hollow end portion of said rod for manuallyactuated movement between a retracted position in which the handle is substantially centered on the axis of said rod and an extended position in which said handle is spaced from said axis: 1. said linkage means including a base link telescopically mounted within said adjacent hollow end portion for slidable movement between inner and outer limits respectively corresponding to the said retracted and extended positions of said handle.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
116 words
A hand-held jump-over exercise device, comprising: A. an elongate rod with hollow end portions; B. a pair of handles, one for and adjacent to each end of the rod; and C. pivotally connected linkage means supporting each handle on the adjacent hollow end portion of said rod for manuallyactuated movement between a retracted position in which the handle is substantially centered on the axis of said rod and an extended position in which said handle is spaced from said axis: 1. said linkage means including a base link telescopically mounted within said adjacent hollow end portion for slidable movement between inner and outer limits respectively corresponding to the said retracted and extended positions of said handle.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
42 words
The device of claim 1 wherein: A. each handle is in the form of a link providing a hand grip; and B. each linkage means includes an intermediate link arranged between its base link and said handle link and pivoted to both.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
67 words
when said handle is extended, in angular relationship wherein: a. said base link is in the axis of said rod; b. said intermediate link extends at an angle to said base link; and c. said handle link extends at an angle to said intermediate link; and B. said device includes latching means for releasably securing said link components in said angular relationship when said handle is extended.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
67 words
when said handle is extended, in angular relationship wherein: a. said base link is in the axis of said rod; b. said intermediate link extends at an angle to said base link; and c. said handle link extends at an angle to said intermediate link; and B. said device includes latching means for releasably securing said link components in said angular relationship when said handle is extended.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
20 words
The device of claim 2 wherein: A. the link components, of each handle and the linkage means supporting it, extend:
