The first locking components (1a, 1b) includes the button (14) fixedly arranged on the bolt (12). Further, the button (14) may be used for the user to grasp and use, to facilitate the user to exert force on the bolt (12) passing through the sliding groove (112).
The button (14) may be screwed to one end of the bolt (12), which simplifies the connection structure between the button (14) and the bolt (12).
The horizontal fitness bar apparatus (100) includes the second handle bars (92a, 92b) extending transversely with respect to the first handle bar (91). Each of the second handle bars (92a, 92b) are coupled with the first rod body (6a) and the second rod body (6b). In one embodiment, the second handle bars (92a, 92b) may be fixedly arranged on the plurality of hooks (4a, 4b).
The second handlebars (92a, 92b) may also be used for the user to grasp, which enriches the user's grasping posture on the horizontal fitness bar apparatus (100) on the door.
In actual use, the length direction of the first handle bar (91) may be substantially consistent with the length direction of the top beam (81), and the second handlebars (92a, 92b) and the top beam (81) are nearly perpendicular.
In actual use, if the second handle bars (92a, 92b) approaches or moves away from the plurality of hooks (4a, 4b), the distance between the two second handle bars (92a, 92b) and the external frame structure (8) increases or decreases, if the distance between the second handle bars (92a, 92b) and the external frame structure (8) is adjusted. When the desired distance is reached, each of the second locking components (2a, 2b) may be detachably arranged among the first rod body (6a), the second rod body (6b), the first pipe body (7a) and the second pipe body (7b), so that the second handle bars (92a, 92b) and the external frame structure (8) may be kept at a required distance, referring back to
The user may adjust the distance between the second handlebars (92a, 92b) and the frame (8) according to the actual use, so that the user may comfortably hold the second handle bars (92a, 92b) for exercise.
One of the second handlebars (92a, 92b) and the first rod body (6a) and another of the second handle bars (92a, 92b) and the second rod body (6b) are integrally formed together. In one embodiment, the second handlebars (92a, 92b), the first rod body (6a), the second rod body (6b) may be made of a round tube. The plurality of hooks (4a, 4b) may be welded on the outer end of the first pipe body (7a) and the second pipe body (7b). The second pipe body (7b) passes through the second hole (51b) of the second connecting rod (5b), and the second connection holes (71a, 71b) are opened on a side of the second pipe body (7b). If the second rod body (6b) freely slides on the second pipe body (7b), it is consistent with the length direction of the second rod body (6b).
Further, the first rod body (6a) includes a plurality of pins (61a) and the second rod body (6b) includes a plurality of pinholes (61b). Each of the second locking component (2a, 2b) passes through one of the plurality of pin holes (61a, 61b) to lock the first pipe body (7a) to the first rod body (6a) and the second pipe body (7b) to the second rod body (6a) to adjust the height of the second handle bars (92a, 92b) as per a user requirement.
The second locking components (2a, 2b) passes through the plurality of pin holes (61a, 61b) means that the second locking components (2a, 2b) and the second rod body (6b) are plugged together, which improves the firmness of the connection between the second locking components (2a, 2b) and the second rod body (6b).
In one embodiment, the second locking components (2a, 2b) may be an elastic pin, and the second locking components (2a, 2b) may also passed through the plurality of second connecting holes (71a, 71b). The second locking components (2a, 2b) also passes through the plurality of second connecting holes (71a, 71b) means that the second locking components (2a, 2b) and the second pipe body (7b) are also plugged together, which improves the connection between the second locking components (2a, 2b) and the second rod body (6b). If the second locking components (2a, 2b) is passed through different second connecting holes (71a, 71b), the positioning position of the second rod body (6b) on the second pipe body (7b) can be adjusted.
The horizontal fitness bar apparatus (100) further includes the first connecting rod (5a) and the second connecting rod (5b) fixedly associated with the lateral support rod (3) and the first handle bar (91). The horizontal fitness bar apparatus (100) also includes the plurality of hooks (4a, 4b), which slide freely on first connecting rod (5a) and the second connecting rod (5b), when the first locking component (1a, 1b) is loosened.
In one embodiment, the lateral support rod (3) may be fixedly coupled to the first connecting rod (5a) and the second connecting rod (5b) through a welding process.
In one implementation, if the lateral support rod (3) approaches or moves away from the plurality of hooks (4a, 4b), the first handle bar (91) may approach or move away from the plurality of hooks (4a, 4b) synchronously, so that the first handle bar (91) can always be kept at an appropriate distance from the frame (8), which is convenient for use or grip.
In actual use, if the horizontal fitness bar apparatus (100) is installed on the doorframe (8), the plurality of hooks (4a, 4b) and the lateral support rod (3) are respectively arranged on both sides of the external frame structure (8). If the user does pull-ups on the horizontal fitness bar apparatus (100) installed on the door frame (8), the plurality of hooks (4a, 4b) keep hanging tightly on the top beam (81) under the action of gravity of the user, and the lateral support rod (3) remains tightly pressed against the side beam (82) under the action of gravity of the user, so that the horizontal fitness bar apparatus (100) on the door plays a good role for the user.
In the invention, the user can adjust the lateral support rod (3) and the plurality of hooks (4a, 4b) to the required distance according to the size of the actual frame (8), so that the horizontal fitness bar apparatus (100) on the door can be better adapted to the door frames of different sizes. In addition, it only needs to be disassembled the first locking components (1a, 1b) and the second locking components (2a, 2b) to realize the locking and unlocking of the plurality of hooks (4a, 4b) with the first connecting rod (5a) and the second connecting rod (5b), so the horizontal fitness bar apparatus (100) on the door has the advantages of wide application range, one-key adjustment and stable support.
