FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to home fitness systems for children.
BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY
Most home fitness systems are not multi-functional.
For example, a piece of fitness equipment cannot usually be converted to be used as a piece of furniture.
In addition, these systems take up a lot of room.
The above disadvantage is addressed by a modular fitness bed that comprises a first post, having a first end and a second end coupled to a second post, having a first end and a second end through a first top rail. The first end of the first post is coupled to the first end of the second post through a first top rail. A third post has a first end and a second end coupled to a fourth post, having a first end and a second end. The first end of the third post coupled to the first end of the fourth post through a first top rail. The first post is coupled to the third post through a first support bar and the second post is coupled to the fourth post through a second support bar. A set of monkey bars extends along a length between the first top rail and the second top rail. A first bottom rail extends from the second end of the first post to the second of the second post and a second bottom rail extends from the second end of the third post to the second of the fourth post. A mattress support facility connected to the posts and below the monkey bars.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
FIG. 1 illustrates the KidStrong Modular Fitness Bed with traditional bed configuration.
FIG. 2—Proprietary High Strength Joint System: The Modular Bed System uses lightweight, commercial grade, proprietary designed extruded aluminum connected with a combination of high strength coupler/connectors. Thoughtful industrial design minimizes installation effort (uses significantly less hardware than comparable loft beds) while at the same time optimizing strength/weight to support the multi-function bed system.
FIG. 3—Key Lock System: The modular fitness bed system utilizes a proprietary key system to attach hundreds of fitness/conditioning and other apparatuses. Accessory keys will be inserted into slots on bed system and are secured by a locking mechanism on both the bed system and the apparatus being attached to the Modular Bed System. Attachments will/may include: climbing rope, rings, heavy bag/punching bag, fireman's pole, swing, climbing net, play basketball goal, grip development attachments, trophy shelves, study desk, projector screen, whiteboard, clock/timer, hammock, trapeze, and other purpose built apparatuses. Key locks are inserted into the fitness bed frame, protrude through the frame and lock to ensure accessories are attached securely and support bodyweight loads during fitness related activities.
FIG. 4—Multi-Configuration Monkey Bars: Multi-configuration monkey bars can be spaced at variable distance and height to accommodate children age 2-12. Monkey bars can be attached to the top or bottom side of the bed system rails based on the desired height/clearance best suited for the age/height of the child. The Modular Bed System is designed so that the monkey bars remain functional when the bed is placed in the loft position on top of the bed system, enabling children to develop strength, coordination, endurance utilizing the monkey bar apparatus.
FIG. 5—Adjustable Pull-up Bar: Commercial grade aluminum bar can be placed between Bedposts. Bar is installed by inserting pins into Key Lock System, rotating, and securing with pin.
FIG. 6—Easy Install Bed Slats: Bed Slats are easily adjustable and utilize Key Lock System on Top or Bottom Rails of the Bed System. A conventional or toddler bed height is accommodated by adjusting Bottom Rail height. A loft bed configuration is accommodated by installing Bed Slats on the Top Rails.
FIG. 7—Bed Floor Configuration: Shows the bed in floor configuration.
FIG. 8—Connectors: Shows top, side, end, and ISO views of the 3-way and 4-way connectors.
FIG. 9—Bed Frame Assembly: Shows top, side, and end views of the bed frame assembly.
FIG. 10—Rails: Shows top, side, and end views of the bed frame rails.
FIG. 11—Rail and Accessory Key Assembly: Shows top, side, and end views of the rail and accessory key assembly.
FIG. 12—Bed Colors: Shows views of different bed assembly colors and configurations.
FIG. 13—Headboard: Shows top, front, and end views of the bed headboard plus and exploded ISO view of the bed headboard assembly with mounting hardware.
FIG. 14—Bed Loft Configuration: Shows the bed in loft configuration.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
The KidStrong Modular Fitness Bed System is a highly engineered, unique apparatus which enables its users to perform a wide range of fitness/conditioning and physical/occupational therapy exercises in a compact space and also serves as a loft or traditional bed frame for twin or full mattress placement.
Users can easily install hundreds of functional fitness (and non-fitness) attachments including: pull-up bars, rope swing, heavy bag/punching bag, hammock, fitness rings, basketball goal, monkey bars, as well as a study desk, shelving/storage, TV mounting brackets, and other common furniture/fixtures to increase usefulness while saving floorspace.
The bed is unique in its ability to adjust bed placement with ease and without comparable in its ability to attach hundreds of apparatuses to support at home fitness.
