  • Patent number: 11247094
    Abstract: A free weight bar stabilizer, to be used with a standard sized bar and attached barbell plates. The stabilizer includes a beam pivotally attached to a frame at a pivot point so that it is angularly movable in an arc between a raised position and a lower position, and a bar carriage attached to the beam so that it is linearly movable radially out from the pivot point between a retracted position and an extended position. The bar carriage includes spaced distal arms with attachment points for attaching the bar to support its opposing ends. The bar is thus freely movable within an envelope defined by the ranges of the simultaneous angular movement of the beam and the linear movement of the attachment points on the carriage.
    Type: Grant
