Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
250 words
Multipositionable, portable and collapsible horizontal bar exercising apparatus comprising an open frame consisting of: a U-shaped tubular exercising cross bar having a horizontal center section extending from side to side of said frame, and having vertical end sections for supporting said center section; a spider support member at each side of said frame, each spider support member having a vertical tube with a corresponding vertical end section of said tubular cross bar telescopically and detachable coupled thereto, each spider support member further having integral therewith a pair of downwardly diverging tubes; a pair of downwardly diverging tubular legs telescopically and detachably coupled to said pair of downwardly diverging tubes on the spider support member at each side of said frame; a pair of U-shaped tubular feet at the front and back of said frame, each of said feet having a horizontal center section for providing floor support and extending from side to side of said frame, and having upstanding end sections telescopically and detachably coupled to the bottom ends of said legs; and at least one tension member extending from front to back of said frame and connected respectively between said feet to prevent said feet from moving apart and spreading said legs by downward load applied to said cross bar; said frame providing a clear vertical space between said cross bar at the top and said feet at the bottom, and between said spider members and corresponding pairs of legs at opposite sides to provide room for gymnastic exercises.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
250 words
Multipositionable, portable and collapsible horizontal bar exercising apparatus comprising an open frame consisting of: a U-shaped tubular exercising cross bar having a horizontal center section extending from side to side of said frame, and having vertical end sections for supporting said center section; a spider support member at each side of said frame, each spider support member having a vertical tube with a corresponding vertical end section of said tubular cross bar telescopically and detachable coupled thereto, each spider support member further having integral therewith a pair of downwardly diverging tubes; a pair of downwardly diverging tubular legs telescopically and detachably coupled to said pair of downwardly diverging tubes on the spider support member at each side of said frame; a pair of U-shaped tubular feet at the front and back of said frame, each of said feet having a horizontal center section for providing floor support and extending from side to side of said frame, and having upstanding end sections telescopically and detachably coupled to the bottom ends of said legs; and at least one tension member extending from front to back of said frame and connected respectively between said feet to prevent said feet from moving apart and spreading said legs by downward load applied to said cross bar; said frame providing a clear vertical space between said cross bar at the top and said feet at the bottom, and between said spider members and corresponding pairs of legs at opposite sides to provide room for gymnastic exercises.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
41 words
Apparatus according to claim 1 in which said vertical end sections of said exercising cross bar are adjustable relative to the corresponding vertical tubes of said spiders to vary the usable height of the horizontal center section of said cross bar.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
44 words
Apparatus according to claim 2 in which said vertical end sections of the cross bar and the corresponding vertical tubes have a plurality of registerable apertures, and pin means insertable through selected registered apertures to lock said cross bar at a selected usable height.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
36 words
Apparatus according to claim 1 in which the vertical end sections of said cross bar are selectively coupleable to said spider support members in either upright or depending attitudes to selectively vary the usable height thereof.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
50 words
Apparatus according to claim 1 in which the vertical end sections of said cross bar are in depending attitudes and are telescopically and detachably coupled to a pair of vertical extension tubes which extend upwardly from said spider members and which are telescopically and detachably coupled to said spider members.
