Abstract
Abstract A lightweight tubular member, designed to fit diagonally across the space between an open door and the head molding of the doorframe in which the door is hung. The ends of the member are flattened, and one is shaped to extend up and over the top of the door. The other end is shaped to extend upwardly, then outwardly, then downwardly into down-bearing contact with the top of the head molding. The member is designed to remain in place when supported on the door and doorframe head molding in the aboveindicated manner, and serve as a chinning bar.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
137 words
An exercising device comprising: an elongate bar member; first bracket means at one end of said bar member and comprising an upwardly extending platelike portion defining a plane at an oblique angle to the axis of said bar and having an upper flange extending substantially horizontally outwardly therefrom; and second bracket means at the other end of said bar member defining a downwardly facing channel arranged at an oblique angle to the axis of said bar member whereby said flange of said first bracket may be placed on the upper edge of head molding of a doorframe, with said platelike portion substantially abutting the face of said molding, and said second bracket means may be hooked over the upper edge of an open door mounted in said frame and thereby support said bar member for chinning purposes.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
