Abstract: A weight storage peg for supporting free weight plates from an exercise superstructure includes a bar extending from a fastener. An exterior surface of the bar is provided by a nylon casting around a cylindrical tube weldment. The nylon casting tapers from a wider portion adjacent the free end to a narrower portion nearer the fastener. The nylon casting also provides a mounting flange around the head of a female threaded mounting bolt, with the female threaded mounting bolt welded to a cylindrical tube to form the cylindrical tube weldment.

Abstract: A modular upright for an exercise equipment superstructure has a base with a floor plate and a stub, a lower tubular upright portion, a connector and an upper tubular upright portion. The lower tubular upright portion and the upper tubular upright portion both have openings defined at regular intervals along their length for supporting exercise equipment accessories, as well as correspondingly positioned openings in the stub and the connector so fasteners can be used for connection of the components. The stub, the upright portions and the connector are all formed of tubing, sized so none of the columnar load stresses the connector or the stub or the fasteners.
