Abstract: An exercise device for chin-ups which comprises a first support of a rigid material which has a first end and a second end and a mid point therebetween positionable in a horizontal orientation with its ends adjacent to the upper extent of a door opening on the first side thereof. The first support has vertical exterior apertures adjacent to the ends and vertical interior apertures between the exterior apertures and the midpoint. Further included is a second support of a rigid material with a lower horizontal extent positioned upon the upper sill of a door opening on the second side thereof opposite from the first side and with a vertical extent positionable against a vertical wall surface above the upper sill. The board has a first end and a second end a midpoint therebetween with horizontal apertures extending therethrough adjacent to its ends. The length of the second support is less than the length of the first support with the midpoints in a common vertical plane.

Abstract: A device adapted for holding an object comprising, in combination, an exterior component shaped in an inverted generally U-shaped cross-sectional configuration, the exterior component having a resilient upper portion and a lower portion formed of legs and terminating in parallel lines, the legs being movable, upon the application of pressure, to a holding orientation with the parallel lines spaced a distance to preclude the passage of a minnow therethrough, upon the release of the pressure, the legs move to a release orientation with the parallel lines spaced a distance to allow the passage of an object therethrough. A resilient interior component with an upper end adjacent to the upper portion and a lower end adjacent to a location above the parallel lines for thereby assisting in the return of the parallel lines to the release orientation after grasping an object in the space between the short legs and the lower end of the interior component.
