  • Patent number: 6692417
    Abstract: An exercise apparatus that includes a cross brace having a first end and an opposing second end, first and second side frames pivotally attached to the opposite ends of the cross brace, a bungee cord with handle having opposite ends received in openings in the bottom horizontal braces of the side frames, and at least four rollers secured to the front vertical supports of the side frames and. The cross brace has a pair of spaced apart rigid mid bars joined to and extending perpendicularly downward from the cross brace. Each side frame has a top horizontal brace support acting as a handle bar, a bottom horizontal brace support too acting as handle having an opening defined therethrough, a front vertical support linking the top horizontal brace support to the bottom horizontal brace support, and a rear vertical support linking the front vertical support to the bottom horizontal brace support.

  • Patent number: 6248048
    Abstract: A portable folding exercise apparatus has left and right side frames pivotably attached to a cross brace. Handgrips on the side frames are useful for performing traditional dips and knee raises, with the apparatus in an upright position. A cross brace has a pair of parallel handgrips useful for performing close parallel regular push-ups, tricep dips, abdominal crunches, arm curls, hammer curls, and shoulder presses. The exercise apparatus is preferably formed of welded steel tubing, and is sufficiently rigid to resist excessive bending or deflection during use, even under extreme loads generated by heavy users. Quick release pins lock the side frames into an open position for use and may lock the side frames into a closed position for transport or storage.

Handgrips on the side frames are useful for performing traditional dips and knee raises, with the apparatus in an upright position. A cross brace has a pair of parallel handgrips useful for performing close parallel grip push-ups, and a pair of further spaced apart aligned handgrips useful for performing regular push-ups and tricep dips. The exercise apparatus is preferably formed of welded steel tubing, and is sufficiently ridged to resist excessive bending or deflection during use, even under extreme loads generated by heavy users. Quick release pins lock the side frames into an open position for use, or into a closed position for transport or storage.
