Exerciser (3) for hanging that can be positioned around a door (16), usable by tall and short persons, having an adjustable bar for hanging (1) which can be easily removed to free the passage through the door. It is meant either for hanging exercises, than for vertebral column stretching. It comprises a bar for hanging (1) supported by two uprights (2,2′) resting on the floor (8) and fixed to a wall (14) with spacers (12). The existence of said two uprights (2,2′) permits: 1) to place the bar (1) also above a door lintel (6), for tall users 2) to removably place the bar (1) internally to the door (16) passage, for short users, thanks to rotating adjusting junctions (18,18′). Therefore this structure does not prevent the use of a door, and permits the user to make brief exercises at any time he passes through the door.

A portable exercise bar is provided. The bar is particularly suited to individuals wishing to obtain balance and positional support during an exercise routine, especially routines involving the lifting and balancing of the user's legs. The bar is useful for practicing ballet and dance moves in temporary environments where there is a door that can be used for supporting the device. Thus, the bar is configured for secure, yet removeable, attachment to a common door. Further, the exercise bar of the present invention is lightweight and can be conveniently packed for modern travel needs.

A multifaceted hand implement is disclosed having plural landing surfaces. From one of the landing surfaces. an object can be launched and whilst airborne, the hand implement is turned to present another landing surface onto which the object can land. Preferably a catching inter-engagement is provided between the object and the landing surfaces by means of VELCRO, or magnetic attraction. Various games or contests can be implemented and the playing of such games is thought to improve hand-eye coordination thereby improving manual dexterity and/or delaying the onset of various degenerative diseases.

Golf balls having covers made of thermoplastic polyurethane compositions are provided. Multi-piece golf balls can be made. Polyurethane primer coatings and polyurethane top-coatings are applied to the thermoplastic polyurethane cover. Different coating methods can be used. Isocyanate-rich and polyol-rich polyurethane coatings can be applied. In one embodiment, the golf ball can be treated with a multi-functional isocyanate prior to applying the coatings. The polyurethane cover composition and surface coatings can further include catalysts, ultraviolet (UV)—light stabilizers, and other additives. Heat is used to cure the coatings. The coating methods have many benefits and the finished balls have good physical properties.

A folding exercise rack system for providing an exercise rack that may be easily and compactly stored when not in use. The folding exercise rack generally includes a plurality of extension members pivotably connected to wall-connected mounting brackets. Upright support members connected to the extension members support a barbell and exercise bar. The exercise rack is pivotable from an extended exercise position into a plurality of selectable compact storage positions substantially parallel with and closely adjacent to the wall. The mounting brackets include a plurality of selectable connection points to determine how much space is present between the wall and exercise rack in the storage positions. One connection point allows a retractable exercise bench to be stored in the space between the wall and exercise rack. Mechanisms are provided for locking the exercise rack in a plurality of selected positions.

A multi-functional doorway exercise device is an apparatus that safely and securely attaches to a door frame. The apparatus includes a stabilizing bar, a main pullup bar, a first support bar, a second support bar, a left bracket assembly, a right bracket assembly, a left handlebar, and a right handlebar. The stabilizing bar extends across the width of a door frame and locks into the door frame. The main pullup bar, the left handlebar, and the right handlebar allows a user to grasp onto the present invention while performing various exercises with different grip positions. The left bracket assembly and the right bracket assembly attaches the stabilizing bar onto and along both sides of the door frame. The first support bar and the second support bar connect the main pullup bar with the stabilizing bar and allows the main pullup bar to rotate about the stabilizing bar.
