Abstract

An exercise assembly for performing multiple exercises includes a pivotable bar assembly and a dip bar assembly. The pivotable bar assembly extends through a frame and has a central bar connected between first ends of a pair of swings arms, with second ends of the swing arms pivotably connected to facing surfaces of the frame. The dip bar assembly extends across a front side of the frame and includes a main tube with a pair of handles extending outward from the main tube and resting on the center bar of the bar assembly.

Claims

1. An exercise assembly, comprising:

a pivotable bar assembly extending through a frame, the bar assembly having a central bar connected between first ends of a pair of swings arms, with second ends of the swing arms pivotably connected to facing surfaces of the frame,

a dip bar assembly extending across a front side of the frame, the dip bar assembly including a main tube with a pair of handles extending outward from the main tube and resting on the central bar, each handle including an angled portion connected to the main tube, the angled portion including an integral support on an underside thereof that rests over a portion of the central bar.

2. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the main tube is secured between a pair of stub tubes, each stub tube terminating within a bumper that engages a surface of the frame.

3. The assembly of claim 2, wherein each stub tube includes a bracket thereon for supporting a corresponding swing arm therein so that the swing arms are angled outward toward the dip bar assembly.

4. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the width of the bar assembly and the dip bar assembly is adjustable.

5. The assembly of claim 1, wherein a width between the handles is adjustable along the main tube.

6. The assembly of claim 1, wherein the central bar is secured between a pair of end stubs, each end stub connected to a swing arm second end.

7. The assembly of claim 6, wherein

each swing arm includes a side strut securely connected at its first end to a pivot pin and to a corresponding end stub at its second end, the side strut second end including a slotted aperture receiving the pivot pin therein, and

the interconnected central bar between swing arms is configured to be selectively rotated from a horizontal plane between the frame to another position away from the frame via the pivot pins.

9. The assembly of claim 1, wherein each handle includes a grip end integral with the angled portion and horizontally oriented to permit a dip exercise.

10. The assembly of claim 1, wherein each of the central bar and handle include an over-mold material thereon to provide a non-slip surface.

11. The assembly of claim 1, further comprising a rotatable handle assembly that is removably attached to one of the central bar and the handles.

12. The assembly of claim 1, wherein a user can position the central bar and dip bar assembly so as to perform one or more of a pullup, chin-up, dip, reverse dip, inverted pushup and standing row exercise.

8. (canceled)

13. An exercise assembly, comprising;

a bar assembly attached to a frame and configured to be pivoted at one end so as to extend outward through the frame, and

a dip bar assembly extending across a front side of the frame and including a pair of handles extending outward from a main tube of the dip bar assembly and resting on the bar assembly, each handle including an angled portion connected to the main tube, the angled portion including an integral support on an underside thereof that rests over a portion of the bar assembly.

14. The assembly of claim 13, wherein the main tube is secured between a pair of stub tubes, each stub including a bracket thereon for supporting a corresponding swing arm of the bar assembly so that the swing arms are angled outward toward the dip bar assembly.

15. The assembly of claim 13, wherein the width of the bar assembly and the dip bar assembly is adjustable.

16. The assembly of claim 13, wherein a width between the handles is adjustable.

17. The assembly of claim 13, wherein each handle includes

a grip end integral with the angled portion and horizontally oriented to permit a dip exercise.

18. The assembly of claim 13, further comprising a rotatable handle assembly that is removably attached to one of the bar assembly and handle.

19. The assembly of claim 18, wherein the handle assembly includes:

a J-shaped hook for placement on one of the bar assembly and handle, a curved portion of the J-hook adapted to grasp the bar assembly or handle,

a rotation assembly fixed to the hook, and

a handle attached to the rotation assembly, the rotation assembly enabling the handle to be rotated 360 degrees around a vertical axis of the J-hook that is perpendicular to the bar assembly or handle during exercise.

20. A dip bar assembly for placement against a frame, comprising:

a pair of end stubs,

a main tube secured between the end stubs, with ends of the end stubs terminating in bumpers that engage a front surface of the frame, each end stub including a bracket for supporting a swing arm of a pivotable bar assembly therein so that the swing arms are angled outward from the frame toward the dip bar assembly, and

a pair of handles extending outward from the main tube, each handle including an angled portion connected to the main tube, the angled portion including an integral support on an underside thereof that rests over a portion of the bar assembly.

21. The assembly of claim 20, wherein each handle includes

a grip end integral with the angled portion and horizontally oriented to permit a dip exercise.

22. The assembly of claim 20, wherein a width between the handles is adjustable along the main tube.

23. The assembly of claim 20, further comprising a rotatable handle assembly that is removably attached to one of the bar assembly and handle.

24. An exercise assembly, comprising;

a bar assembly pivotably attached to a frame so that it can pivot back and forth through an opening in the frame,

a dip bar assembly extending across one side of the frame and including a pair of handles extending outward therefrom, and

a rotatable handle assembly removably attached to one of the bar assembly and handle, the rotatable assembly further comprising;

a J-shaped hook for placement on one of the bar assembly and handle, a curved portion of the J-hook adapted to grasp the bar assembly or handle,

a rotation assembly fixed to the hook, and

a handle attached to the rotation assembly, the rotation assembly enabling the handle to be rotated 360 degrees around a vertical axis of the J-hook that is perpendicular to the bar assembly or handle during exercise.
