Claims
- 1. In an exercise system, including a horizontally disposed bar, a pair of upright support structures disposed on opposite ends of said bar, and a pair of base members to provide structural rigidity to the exercise device, the improvement comprising:
- attachment means on the upright support structures and the horizontal bar, including receptacles defining a plurality of fixable locations on both said upright support structures and said horizontal bar for connection of various kinesthetic exercising apparatus in various arrangements suitable for a variety of kinesthetic exercises; and
- a plurality of distinct kinesthetic exercise apparatus for performing kinesthetic exercises, including means for quick releasable and replaceable coupling of said kinesthetic exercise apparatus to the exercise system in a freely rotatable manner via said attachment means, such that the exercise system can be employed to accommodate a variety of kinesthic exercises.
- 2. The system of claim 1 wherein the upright support structures each further include a vertical upright member and a pair of diagonal brace members coupled to said vertical member at one end and coupled to a base member at the other end.
- 3. The system of claim 1 wherein the receptacles further include a plurality of apertures disposed within the upright support structure.
- 4. The system of claim 1 wherein the receptacles further include a plurality of apertures disposed within the base members.
- 5. The system of claim 1 wherein the attachment means includes a plurality of apertures and further comprises:
- at least one aperture-engaging, rotatable eyebolt, removably engagable in a selected one of said apertures, the eyebolt having a ring for connection of the kinesthetic exercising device, and a shaft passing through the aperture;
- and locking pin for securing said shaft within a selected aperture; and
- a safety means for preventing said locking pin from inadvertent disengagement.
- 6. The system of claim 1 wherein the attachment means includes a plurality of apertures and further comprises:
- at least one collar element disposed around a member of the system, having a swivel ring attached thereto for connection of the kinesthetic exercising device and further having a pair of apertures alignable with a selected aperture on said member:
- and locking pin for securing said collar to said member by passage through a selected set of apertures; and
- a safety means for preventing said locking pin from inadvertent disengagement.
- 7. The device of claim 1 wherein the receptacles further include at least one overhead attachment means on said horizontal bar for supporting a kinesthetic exercise device.
- 8. The system of claim 7 wherein the overhead attachment means further comprises:
- at least one rotatable bearing means disposed about said horizontal bar for supporting an exercise device, the bearing means further including a low friction, inner sleeve for engagement of said bar, and
- at least one releasable locking means whereby the bearing means can be releasably secured at selective positions for rotation about the bar.
- 9. The system of claim 1 wherein the system further includes:
- a pair of base extension members disposed side-by-side within each of the base members, wherein said base extension members are extendible and retractable in opposite directions and can be fixed at variable lengths; and
- means for engaging said base extension members in a selected position of extension.
