Abstract: A utility package for installation in the bed of a pickup truck includes a frame (10) having a relatively narrow, lower vertical section (12) of a width W1 narrower than the interior spacing between the sides of the pickup truck bed while substantially spanning the entire interior distance between such sides and a relatively wide, upper horizontal section (14) of a width greater than the interior spacing between the sides and no greater than about the distance between the exteriors of the sides and adapted to be supported on the tops of the sides. An elongated pressure vessel (26) is located within the vertical section (12) and a pair of upright housing sections (64,68) are mounted on the horizontal section (14) oppositely of the vertical section (12). The housing section (64,68) have access openings (78) at respective ends (16,18) of the horizontal section (14).

Abstract: The exercise apparatus of the present invention includes an elongated generally C-shaped bar with an elongated back portion and a pair of opposing curved end portions, the bar supported on a support frame in a generally horizontal plane. Each end portion includes a straight section extending outwardly from the back portion, a curved section extending forwardly and then inwardly from each straight section and an end section terminating in a free end substantially parallel to the back portion and extending inwardly from the forward ends of the curved sections. Each of the end portions is a length sufficient to permit gripping by at least one hand of a consumer, and the back portion has a length sufficient for gripping by two hands of the consumer, to enable the consumer to do pushups with a variety of different hand positions. The bar may either be free standing, on its own support stand, or connected to a pre-existing exercise framework.
