Abstract An exercising device comprising two flexible lines, each line having a stirrup member at one end for receiving a person's foot therein and a loop member at the other end for grasping with a person's hand. The stirrup and loop members are each attached, by means of a slip-knot, onto the flexible lines between knots which are located at predetermined points on the lines. This permits a simple adjustability of the functional lengths of the lines to accommodate persons of different heights. Each of the lines passes over one of a pair of pulleys. A hanger line passes through a hollow tubular spacer and through openings located one at each end of the spacer and knots tied just above those openings. Each of the pulleys has a rotating eye through which the hanger lines passes as it leaves the ends of the spacer. A knot is tied above the said openings at the ends of the spacer thus anchoring each of the pulleys in place. The hanger line is also knotted with additional knots sufficiently distant from the spacer to permit placement of such additional knots on one side of a door top or jamb, so that in closing the door the additional knots remain on one side of the door and the spacer, along with the rest of the device, on the other.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
207 words
A device of the character described comprising two flexible lines, each line having a stirrup member at one end for receiving a person's foot therein and a loop member at the other end for grasping by a person's hand; said loop members being knotted onto said flexible lines between knots located at predetermined points on said lines; a pair of pulleys, each receiving one of the said flexible lines; an elongated, hollow spacer having an opening at each end, said spacer supporting said pulleys; a hanger line for said spacer passing longitudinally through the length of said opening of said spacer, said hanger line being knotted adjacent to said spacer, to prevent movement of said spacer with respect to said hanger line; additional knots being spaced apart on said hanger line to permit placement of said last mentioned additional knots on one side of a doorjamb so that on closing of a door the said additional knots remain on one side of a door and the spacer on the other; each of said pulleys having a rotatable eye member through which passes said hanger line as it goes through said spacer and through said outer surface openings and maintains said pulleys near the ends of said spacer.
