Abstract
Abstract A physical training apparatus comprising a vertical column and two sleeves mounted on the column adjustable in height. One of the sleeves supports a fixed hanger and the other sleeve supports a swing-bar which can rotate through 360° and carries a handle. A brake increases the resistance of the apparatus to the user, said resistance being already adjusted by resilient elements placed between the fixed hanger and the swing-bar.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
101 words
A physical training apparatus comprising a vertical column, an upper sleeve slidably supported by said column such as to be adjustable in height, a lower sleeve slidably supported by said column so as to be adjustable in height, a hanger fixedly supported by said upper sleeve, a swing-bar mounted on said lower sleeve for swinging about a horizontal pivot axis, said swing-bar being provided at an end thereof with handling components, means on said hanger and said swing-bar for attaching resilient elements therebetween, and adjustable braking means for adjustably setting the resistance to pivoting of said swing-bar about its pivot axis.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
101 words
A physical training apparatus comprising a vertical column, an upper sleeve slidably supported by said column such as to be adjustable in height, a lower sleeve slidably supported by said column so as to be adjustable in height, a hanger fixedly supported by said upper sleeve, a swing-bar mounted on said lower sleeve for swinging about a horizontal pivot axis, said swing-bar being provided at an end thereof with handling components, means on said hanger and said swing-bar for attaching resilient elements therebetween, and adjustable braking means for adjustably setting the resistance to pivoting of said swing-bar about its pivot axis.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
107 words
The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said pivot axis of said swing-bar comprises a stud member supported by said lower sleeve, a shaft passed through said stud member and affixed to said swing-bar, grooves formed longitudinally on said shaft, a grooved friction plate engaged over said shaft such as to be rotatable thereby, and a nut threadably and adjustably engaged on the end of said shaft for adjusting the pressure with which said friction plate engages the surface of said stud member for causing said stud member, said plate and said nut to rotate in unison thus preventing said nut from loosening during operation of said apparatus.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said means for attaching said resilient elements are disposed at least at one end of said hanger and at one end of said swing-bar.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
38 words
The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said means for attaching said resilient elements are disposed at least at one end of said hanger and substantially at the center of said hanger, and at one end of said swing-bar.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
26 words
The aparatus of claim 4 wherein means for attaching said resilient elements are also disposed proximate the end of said swing-bar provided with said handling components.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
22 words
The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said column is in several sections fastenable to each other in an end to end relationship.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
51 words
The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said column is provided at both ends thereof with bearing plate elements engageable respectively with the ceiling and the floor of a room, said column being adjustable in length to accommodate difference in ceiling height and for applying holding pressure to said ceiling and floor.
