Publication number: 20240009504Abstract: A folding exercise rack system which may be both adjusted with respect to a wall and adjusted between a folded position for storage and an extended position for use. The folding exercise rack system generally includes an exercise rack that is both adjustable with respect to the wall and foldable between extended and retracted positions. The exercise rack generally includes a pair of inner support members which are adjustably connected to the wall, and a pair of outer support members which are adjustable between an extended position and a retracted (e.g., folded) position. In the extended position, the outer support members are distally spaced away from the inner support members and wall. In the retracted position, the outer support members are positioned adjacent to the wall.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2023Publication date: January 11, 2024Inventors: Garrett A. Iverson, Jeremy K. Warzecka, Brian B. Brasch, Erik S. Hopperstad, Alexander M. Johnson

Publication number: 20230045795Abstract: A retractable exercise rack system for efficiently securing an exercise rack against or near a wall when the exercise rack is not in use. The retractable exercise rack system may thus be adjustable between a retracted position against or near the wall, and an extended position which is distally-positioned with respect to the wall. The retractable exercise rack system generally includes a first support member a second support member, with an exercise bar connected between the support members. Wall mounts may be secured to the wall, with the first and second support members being adjustably connected to the wall mounts by linkages, scissor connectors, or arms. Latches and strikers may be utilized to releasably lock the support members in the extended and/or retracted positions. One or both of the support members may include a button for releasing the latches from the strikers.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 15, 2022Publication date: February 16, 2023Inventors: Erik S.

Patent number: 10107317Abstract: A barbell collar system which is both easy to connect or disconnect from the barbell and secure enough to maintain weights on a barbell during extreme use. The barbell collar system generally includes a collar which is adapted to easily and quickly be connected to or removed from a barbell to retain a weight on the barbell. The collar is adapted to adjust between a first position in which the collar is curled around the barbell outside of the weight and a second position in which the collar is elongated in a linear orientation. The collar may include a ribbon spring for snapping between the two positions and an outer covering for increasing friction between the collar and the barbell. One or more magnets may be included with the collar to magnetically engage the collar with the barbell or the collar with itself.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2018Date of Patent: October 23, 2018Assignee: PRx Performance, LLCInventors: Brian B. Brasch, Erik S. Hopperstad
