EXERCISE MACHINE WITH FURNITURE STORAGE UNIT
First Claim
1. An exercise system comprising:
- a furniture unit comprising a frame, a substantially horizontal top member mounted on the frame, a pair of opposing side panels mounted on the frame and extending downward from the top member, and a pair of opposing end panels mounted on the frame and extending between the side panels and downward from the top member;
the side panels, end panels and top member cooperating to define an interior volume, at least one of the end panels being pivotally coupled to the frame such that the at least one end panel pivots from a substantially vertically position away from the top member to a substantially horizontal position; and
an exercise device including a pole pivotally coupled to the frame, the pole being disposed within the interior volume when the at least one end panel is in the substantially vertical position, the pole extending from the interior volume and vertically upward when the at least one end panel is in the substantially horizontal position, the exercise device including at least one resistance band coupled to the pole.

Abstract
An exercise system including a furniture unit having a frame, a substantially horizontal top member mounted on the frame, a pair of opposing side panels mounted on the frame, and a pair of opposing end panels mounted on the frame and extending between the side panels. The side panels, end panels and top member cooperate to define an interior volume. One of the end panels is pivotally coupled to the frame such that it pivots from a substantially vertically position away from the top member to a substantially horizontal position. A pole is pivotally coupled to the frame. The pole is disposed within the interior volume when the end panel is in the substantially vertical position. The pole extends from the interior volume and vertically upward when the end panel is in the substantially horizontal position. The exercise device includes at least one resistance band coupled to the pole.

2. The exercise system of claim 2 wherein the pole includes a plurality of pole rings vertically spaced from one another and wherein the resistance band includes a hook, the hook releasably engaged to one of the plurality of pole rings to releasably engage the resistance band to the pole.
- 3. The exercise system of claim 3 wherein at least one of the side panels is pivotally coupled to the frame such that the at least one side panel pivots away from the top member to a substantially horizontal position, and the at least one side panel includes at least one panel ring, the hook of the resistance band releasably engageable to the at least one panel ring to releasably engage the resistance band to the side panel.

11. An exercise furniture system comprising:
-
a furniture unit comprising a frame and first and second housing members mounted on the frame, each of the first and second housing members including a top member, a pair of opposing side panels extending downward from the top member and an end panel extending between the opposing side panels;
the top member, the side panels and the end panel cooperating to form an interior volume in each of the first and second housing members; and
an exercise device disposed within the interior volume of the second housing member, the exercise device including a resistance band coupled to an interior surface of the end panel of the second housing member, wherein the frame is expandable from a first compact position, wherein the first and second housing members abut one another to form a single furniture unit, to a second extended position, wherein the first and second housing members are spaced apart from one another, the first housing member being slidably mounted on the frame such that the first housing member is slidable toward and away from the second housing member when the frame is in the extended position; and
wherein the top member of the second housing is pivotal between a closed position, wherein the top member is in a substantially horizontal position, and an opened position, wherein the top member is in a substantially vertical position and the resistance band is accessible. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. An exercise system comprising:
-
a furniture unit comprising a frame, a substantially horizontal top member mounted on the frame, a pair of opposing side panels mounted on the frame and extending downward from the top member, and a pair of opposing end panels mounted on the frame and extending between the side panels;
the side panels, end panels and top member cooperating to define an interior volume, at least one of the end panels being pivotally coupled to the frame such that the at least one end panel pivots between a closed position, wherein the at least one end panel extends substantially downward from the top member enclosing the interior volume, and an open position, wherein the at least one panel is pivoted away from the top member to a substantially horizontal position exposing the interior volume; and
an exercise device coupled to the interior surface of the at least one end panel such that the exercise device is disposed within the interior volume when the end panel is in the closed position and is exposed when the end panel is in the open position. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
