Exercise band positioning and anchoring system

Abstract

The present invention comprises a novel system for positioning and anchoring exercise bands or exercise cables. It will generally include one or more movable anchoring points. The anchoring points are easily adjusted through a quick release/quick clamping design. The exercise bands or exercise cables attach to the anchoring points easily, quickly and securely. The pole that the anchoring points are secured to will be tension mounted, and generally not require any screwing or bolt to a structure. For slanted ceilings, a mounting point will need to be fixed using screws or bolts, and then the tension mounted pole can be installed.

Claims

1) An exercise band or exercise cable positioning and anchoring system that allow easy installation and later removal in most applications, leaving no marks or damage to the location.

2) The ability to adjust the anchoring points to allow a wide range of exercises targeting all muscle groups.

3) Anchoring points that are secure, easy to adjust, and attach the exercise bands or exercise cables to.

Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0008] Some embodiments of the present invention are illustrated as an example and are not limited by the FIGURES of the accompanying drawings, in which like references may indicate similar elements and in which:

[0009] FIG. 1 depicts the side perspective of the system, incorporating tension mounted pole (2), exercise band or exercise cable anchoring points (1), base mount (3), ceiling mount (4) and exercise band or exercise cable (5)

[0010] Anchoring points (1) are easy to adjust up and down the pole. When locked in place they do not move.

[0011] Anchoring points (1) may be removable from the pole (2).

[0012] Anchoring points (1) allow the exercise bands or exercise cables (5) to be easily loop around them, and are designed so that when the exercise bands (5) are in use, the exercise bands or exercise cables (5) will not become disengaged from the anchoring points (1).

[0013] The tension mounted pole (2) is adjustable in height during installation, to allow for variability in ceilings heights.

[0014] The ceiling mount (4) will be held in place using the tension in the pole when used on flat ceilings. The ceiling mount (4) is designed to not damage the ceiling surface.

[0015] An alternate ceiling mount (4) will be available for use on slanted ceilings. In this case, the ceiling mount (4) will be screwed and/or bolted to the ceiling. The tension mounted pole (2) will then be attached to the ceiling mount (4) and tension applied so as to secure the base mount (3) to the floor.

[0016] The base mount (3) has sufficient contact with the floor surface to provide a secure, stable platform to withstand the forces applied by the exercise bands or exercise cables.
