Running bended exerciser

Abstract

An exerciser allows two new exercises to be performed. The new exercises enabled by the exerciser include a leaning miming in place exercise and 2) a traction in suspension exercise. Two identical rectangle-shaped supports, hinged on two adjacent vertical sides permit a user to grip upper horizontal handle-bars. When not in use, the exerciser can be folded, occupying a very small space.

Claims

1. An exerciser comprising: a first support element; and a second identical support element; wherein: each of the first support element and the second support element is substantially rectangle-shaped; the first support element includes a lower part, and an upper part; the lower part is substantially U-shaped, having a lower horizontal member and two vertical tubular female elements upwards directed; one of the female elements has hinges arranged with their own axis in a vertical direction, the hinges making connection with an adjacent female element of the second support element; and; the upper part is substantially upside-down U-shaped, having an upper horizontal member, and two vertical male elements downwards directed and slidably housed in the corresponding tubular female elements of the lower part.

2. The exerciser of claim 1, wherein at least one of the vertical elements of the upper part is equipped with holes for housing a pin crossing a hole located in the corresponding female element of the lower part.

3. The exerciser of claim 1, further comprising a soft handle sliding on the upper horizontal member.

4. The exerciser of claim 1, further comprising rubber pads attached on a lower surface of the lower horizontal member.

5. The exerciser of claim 1, wherein the vertical elements of the upper part and the vertical elements of the lower part each has a a rectangular-shaped cross section.

6. The exerciser of claim 5, wherein the hinges are located along an axis of one of the vertical female elements.

7. An exerciser comprising: a first support element; and a second identical support element; wherein: each of the first support element and the second support element is substantially rectangle-shaped; the first support element includes a lower part, and an upper part; the upper part is substantially upside-down U-shaped, having an upper horizontal member and two vertical tubular female elements downwards directed; one of the female elements has hinges arranged with their own axis in a vertical direction, the hinges making connection with an adjacent female element of the second support element; and the lower part is substantially U-shaped, having a lower horizontal member and two vertical male elements upwards directed and slidably housed in the corresponding tubular female elements of the upper part.

8. The exerciser of claim 7, wherein at least one of the vertical elements of the lower part is equipped with holes for housing a pin crossing a hole located in the corresponding female element of the upper part.

9. The exerciser of claim 7, further comprising a soft handle sliding on the upper horizontal member.

10. The exerciser of claim 7, further comprising rubber pads attached on a lower surface of the lower horizontal member.

11. The exerciser of claim 7, wherein the vertical elements of the upper part and the vertical elements of the lower part each has a rectangular-shaped cross section.

12. The exerciser of claim 11, wherein the hinges are located along an axis of one of the vertical female elements.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

(6) Whereby each of said identical rectangle-shaped supports (2,2′) is composed by two parts which fit together. With reference to first support (2) it comprises:

(7) a) a U shaped lower part (8)

(8) b) An upside down U shaped upper part (10)

(9) Said U shaped lower part (8) comprises a lower horizontal member (12) and two vertical tubular female elements (16,18), upwards directed. Said lower horizontal member (12) rests on the floor. Said vertical tubular elements (16,18) work as female sliding joints for the housing of vertical lateral male elements (24,26) (disclosed below).

(10) One (18) of vertical tubular elements has hinges (20) for connection with corresponding element (18′) of second support (2′).

(11) Said upside down U shaped upper part (10) comprises an upper horizontal member (22) usable as a handle-bar and two vertical lateral male elements (24,26), downwards directed.

(12) Said upper horizontal member (22) has a soft handle (6) sliding on said member (22) and is meant to be gripped by user. Each of two vertical tubular male elements (24,26) are slidably housed in each of said tubular female elements (16,18). A sliding blocking device permits the adjusting of height. An embodiment of said device consists in equipping at least one male element (26) with holes (28), meant to house a pin (30) crossing a hole (32) located in corresponding female element (18).

(13) Other embodiment of the invention can be obtained by inverting said male and female elements.

(14) Present description discloses only some way to realize the present invention, which is better defined by the following claims.
