Abstract
Abstract A battery-powered, motor-driven turret supports and actuates horizontally disposed rods for providing an ''''exercise-byjumping'''' device. The turret with its rods can be readily separated from the battery. The rods are pliable and can be vertically adjusted relative to the support. In one embodiment, the turret may be mounted on a vertical surface and the rods bent at their ends, these bent ends extending horizontally for jumping.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
158 words
An exercising device used to provide exercise by a jumping of a user thereof, said exercising device comprising a base having a shaft extending therefrom, turret means, mounting means including said shaft for rotatably mounting said turret means on said base, said shaft and turret means being mounted on said base for ready separation therefrom, rod means extending outwardly from said turret means at a large angle with respect to said shaft, a battery driven electric motor means for rotating said shaft and causing said turret means to continuously rotate whereby the rod means are cyclically presented to the user for jumping thereover, and means in said base for holding said battery and for coupling said battery to drive said motor, said coupling means comprising a spring contact for extending the electrical circuit from said battery to a contact point on the bottom end of said shaft, and said contact rotatably supporting said bottom end of the shaft.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
158 words
An exercising device used to provide exercise by a jumping of a user thereof, said exercising device comprising a base having a shaft extending therefrom, turret means, mounting means including said shaft for rotatably mounting said turret means on said base, said shaft and turret means being mounted on said base for ready separation therefrom, rod means extending outwardly from said turret means at a large angle with respect to said shaft, a battery driven electric motor means for rotating said shaft and causing said turret means to continuously rotate whereby the rod means are cyclically presented to the user for jumping thereover, and means in said base for holding said battery and for coupling said battery to drive said motor, said coupling means comprising a spring contact for extending the electrical circuit from said battery to a contact point on the bottom end of said shaft, and said contact rotatably supporting said bottom end of the shaft.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
