Abstract: A guided weight exercise device has a lower anchor arrangement for readily attaching the lower portion of the device to a supporting wall by pivotal movement of the device about a floor-engaging support upwardly from a slanted position with the lower portion of the unit adjacent the wall. Reverse pivotal movement of the device detaches it from the wall. The floor-engaging support may be a wheel assembly. The guide assembly for the weights comprises a pair of spaced parallel guide bars each having separate upper and lower bar sections, and a coupling which interconnects the guide bars and joins their upper and lower sections. The weight is lifted by a guided carriage and an arrangement of upper and lower sheaves and a cable. The sheaves and cable are located adjacent the wall and completely behind the carriage and the guide bars.

Abstract: The invention described and claimed herein provides for an L-shaped member comprising a first arm and a second arm substantially perpendicular to the first arm. An ankle engaging member is fixed to each of the arms. A weight support is attached to the second arm. The leg lift device includes a mounting bracket pivotably supporting the L-shaped rod. The mounting bracket is adapted to be fastened to an exercise bench. The leg lift device further comprises an adjustable and removable knee support fixed to the mounting bracket.

Abstract: A simple, inexpensive and highly stable sit-up exerciser is disclosed having a horizontal frame and seat. The height and longitudinal position of the ankle-engaging portion of the device is adjustable relative to the seat and, where provided, the knee support, to suit the anatomy of any user.

Abstract: A simple and versatile exercising apparatus is provided which enables the user to perform a wide variety of weight training exercises. The apparatus includes a basic bench with barbell cradle, a rope and pulley weight pull device, a lat bar device with squat rack and chinning bar, and readily attachable devices for performing curling, sit-ups and leg lifts.

Abstract: A simple and versatile folding exercising apparatus which enables the user to perform a wide variety of weight training exercises. The apparatus includes an upstanding frame and a bench pivoted to the frame for movement between a laterally extended use position and an upright, compact storage position juxtaposed with the frame. The apparatus includes barbell support cradles, a rope and pulley weight pull device, a lat bar device with squat rack and chinning bar, and readily detachable devices for performing curling, sit-ups, leg lifts and head lifts.

Abstract: An exercising device for developing primarily the muscles of the neck. The device comprises a pivoted weight support having a cushioned lower surface which is raised and lowered by motions of the user's head. The device may be supported in mounting brackets affixed to the legs of an exercising bench. The exercising device has a generally J-shaped frame having a generally upstanding lower portion and a generally arched upper portion which has a free end. A stop device is carried by the frame at the free end of the upper portion for engaging and supporting a laterally extending portion of the weight support when the latter is in its lowest rest position.

Abstract: A system for filling generally cylindrical barbell weight shells with a relatively viscous slurry of cementitious material comprises a roller conveyor which transports a plurality of carriers each supporting a plurality of barbell weight shells thereon through a plurality of stations. At a lubricating station, the exterior of the shells is coated with a light film of oil to facilitate subsequent cleaning thereof. At a filling station, a dispensing hopper having a plurality of downwardly projecting nozzles dispenses the cementitious slurry into the shells. Each of the carriers is positioned beneath the hopper, the shells thereon are aligned with the nozzles, and a lift table lifts the shells off of the roller conveyor into engagement with the nozzles. Vibrator and agitator devices induce the flow of the slurry from the hopper into the shells under the influence of gravity.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for attaching the top of a table tennis table to a tubular apron which supports the table top. The table top has planar upper, lower end and side surfaces. The tubular apron has a substantially planar upper wall for supportingly engaging the lower surface of the table top. The table top and tubular apron are attached to each other by a clip which is formed of steel having a thickness of approximately 0.050 inch. The clip comprises a right angled J-shaped portion, and a pronged leg extending from one end of the J-shaped portion at an acute angle of approximately 45.degree.. One end of the J-shaped portion frictionally engages the upper surface of the table top while the pronged leg bitingly engages an inner wall surface of the tubular apron to retain the clip in position, thus fixedly attaching the top to the apron.
