Abstract
Abstract An exercise stand constructed from three C-shaped tubular members and readily disassembled for storage and shipping. Two of the members form sides and support a pair of shoulder pads and the third couples and spaces the two side members, the three members being keyed against relative rotation and held together by bolts carried by the shoulder pads.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
90 words
An exercise stand comprising: two generally C-shaped side members each having generally parallel legs connected by a crosspiece; a generally C-shaped coupling member having two legs dimensioned to telescope with corresponding legs of said side members, and having a crosspiece for joining said side members together in laterally spaced upright planes when said two legs are telescoped with said corresponding legs; and two shoulder pads mountable above said corresponding legs and including fasteners for extending through said two legs and said corresponding legs thereby to couple said members rigidly together.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
90 words
An exercise stand comprising: two generally C-shaped side members each having generally parallel legs connected by a crosspiece; a generally C-shaped coupling member having two legs dimensioned to telescope with corresponding legs of said side members, and having a crosspiece for joining said side members together in laterally spaced upright planes when said two legs are telescoped with said corresponding legs; and two shoulder pads mountable above said corresponding legs and including fasteners for extending through said two legs and said corresponding legs thereby to couple said members rigidly together.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
55 words
An exercise stand as set forth in claim 1 wherein said fasteners comprise at least one bolt secured to each of said shoulder pads, said bolt projecting through aligned holes carried by said two legs and said corresponding legs whereby said bolts secure said pads to said corresponding legs and couple said members rigidly together.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
56 words
An exercise stand as set forth in claim 1 wherein each of said shoulder pads comprise: a generally rectangular and substantially rigid base having upper and lower surfaces; a resilient cushion mounted on said uppeR surface; and a cover encasing said cushion and base, said cover being adhesively bonded to said lower surface of said base.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
51 words
An exercise stand as set forth in claim 3 wherein each of said fasteners include at least one bolt secured to said base and projecting downwardly from said lower surface, said two legs and said corresponding legs having aligned holes for receiving said bolt whereby said members are coupled rigidly together.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
90 words
An exercise stand as set forth in claim 1 wherein said corresponding legs are shorter than the other of said parallel legs and each of said corresponding legs has a pair of spaced holes alignable with a pair of spaced holes carried by each of said two legs, said hole pairs being located such that after telescoping said two legs with said corresponding legs and aligning said hole pairs, said crosspiece of said coupling member and the free end of said other of said parallel legs are substantially vertically aligned.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
36 words
An exercise stand as set forth in claim 5 wherein said fasteners comprise a pair of spaced bolts secured to each of said shoulder pads and extending downwardly therefrom for extending through said aligned hole pairs.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
31 words
An exercise stand as set forth in claim 1 wherein the telescoping legs of said side members and said coupling member have longitudinal means thereon keying the members against relative rotation.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
19 words
An exercise stand as set forth in claim 7 wherein said keying means comprise interfitting longitudinal ribs and grooves.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
31 words
An exercise stand as set forth in claim 7 wherein said telescoping legs are tubular, and said keying means comprise interfitting longitudinal ribs and grooves formed by similarly grooving said legs.
