Patent number: 11771945Abstract: An inclinable bench system for exercise that is attachable to a wall with a mounting bracket, is extendable outwardly from the wall when in use, and is retractable towards the wall when not in use. The inclinable bench generally includes a torso portion and a seat portion on a support segment, latches for selectively latching the bench to the support segment in a first position with the torso and seat portions parallel for extension and retraction, latches for latching the bench in a plurality of selected second positions with the torso and seat portions inclined, and latch operators for operating the latches for the bench to move between the first and second positions. The seat portion is movably supported on a two-level rail and as the bench is moved between the first and second positions the seat portion is automatically inclined.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2023Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: PRx Performance, LLCInventors: Brian B Brasch, Brandon V. Anderson, Kevin D. Barth, Alexander M. Johnson, Michael W. Nesemeier
