Abstract

A fitness rig includes a plurality of vertically extending posts arranged in at least one or a plurality of pairs of post disposed in perpendicular and parallel arranged vertical planes. A horizontally extending bar is vertically positionable on certain of the pairs of vertical posts. A connector complimentary to the shape of the vertical posts is mounted on each opposite end of the bar. A plurality of spaced apertures are formed in the vertical posts and the connectors and receive a pin to vertically adjustably position the connectors and the horizontally extending bar in a vertical plane along one pair of the vertical posts.

Claims

1. A fitness rig comprising:

a plurality of vertically extending posts arranged in at least one pair of first and second vertical posts in a first and second vertical plane;

a plurality of vertically extending, spaced apertures formed in at least two portions of each of the first and second vertical posts;

a horizontally extending bar assembly vertically positional to the at least one pair of first and second vertical posts, the bar assembly including a horizontally extending bar carrying a connector at each opposite end;

each connector vertically adjustably engaging at least a portion of one of the first and second vertical posts;

aligned apertures formed in each connector alignable with apertures in the first and second vertical posts; and

a pin mountable through the aligned apertures in one connector and one vertical first and second post to vertically adjustably position the bar assembly at a predetermined height along the pair of first and second vertical posts.

2. The fitness rig of claim 1 wherein the pin comprises:

a lynch pin carrying a pivotal cable releasably lockable around an exposed end of the lynch pin extending through one connector and one of the first and second vertical posts.

3. The fitness rig of claim 1 wherein:

a plurality of pairs of first and second vertical posts include a three dimensional, polygonal grid of vertical posts disposed in perpendicular and parallel arranged vertical planes.

4. The fitness rig of claim 1 wherein:

each connector has at least three interconnected sides, complimentary to a peripheral shape of one of the first and second vertical posts, the three interconnected sides of each connector surrounding three surfaces of one of the first and second vertical posts.

5. The fitness rig of claim 1 wherein:

the horizontally extending bar and the connectors attached to the horizontally extending bar defining a sole structural connection between the first and second vertical posts.

6. The fitness rig of claim 1 further comprising:

a module including first, second, third, and fourth vertical posts arranged in a spaced polygonal configuration formed of opposed pairs of first, second, third and fourth posts arranged in perpendicular and parallel vertical planes.

7. The fitness rig of claim 6 wherein:

a plurality of horizontally extending bar assemblies are mounted between spaced pairs of the first, second, third and fourth vertical posts.

8. The fitness rig of claim 7 wherein:

each of the plurality of horizontally extending bar assemblies defines a sole structural connection between opposed pairs of the first, second, third, and fourth vertical posts.

9. The fitness rig of claim 6 further comprising:

fifth and sixth vertical posts spaced in a vertical plane from another pair of the first, second, third and fourth vertical posts.

each bar assembly including;

two pairs of co-planar bars, disposed in parallel;

connectors mounted on each end of the co-planar horizontal bars and at an intermediate position between and joining the pair of co-planar bars; and

a plurality of laterally extending bars joined to and extending between the horizontal bars and spaced along a length of the pairs of horizontal bars.

10. The fitness rig of claim 9 wherein:

first and second bars of each pair of horizontally extending bars are disposed at an interior obtuse angle.

11. The fitness rig of claim 6 further comprising:

a pair of horizontally extending, parallel spaced bars;

connectors mounted on each end of the pair of horizontally extending bars; and

a plurality of laterally extending bars joined to and extending laterally between the pair of parallel, spaced horizontal bars, the laterally extending bars spaced along a length of the pair of parallel, spaced horizontal bars.

12. The fitness rig of claim 1 further comprising:

a pair of vertical posts spaced apart in parallel;

a plurality of connectors fixed to the pair of posts and vertically adjustably positioned along a length of the pair of first and second vertical posts;

connectors adjustably coupling each of the connectors on the pair of posts to one of the first and second vertical posts;

a plurality of crossbars fixed to each of the vertical posts and spaced in parallel relative to each other with respect to one vertical post, the crossbars extending angularly from the one vertical post and disposed as a co-linear pair of crossbars with one crossbar mounted on the opposite one of the pair of vertical post; and

the coaxial aligned pairs of crossbars accepting a lift bar in a vertical direction.

13. A fitness rig comprising:

a plurality of pairs of first and second vertical posts include a three dimensional, polygonal grid of pairs of first and second vertical posts disposed in perpendicular and parallel arranged vertical planes;

a plurality of vertically extending, spaced apertures formed in at least two portions of each of the first and second vertical posts;

a bar assembly vertically positional to the at least one pair of first and second vertical posts, the bar assembly including a horizontally extending bar carrying a connector at each opposite end;

each connector vertically adjustably engaging at least a portion of the first and second vertical posts;

the horizontally extending bar and the connectors attached to the horizontally extending bar defining a sole structural connection between the first and second vertical posts;

aligned apertures formed in each connector alignable with apertures in the first and second vertical posts; and

a pin mountable through the aligned apertures in one connector and one vertical first and second post to vertically adjustably position the bar assembly at a predetermined height along the pair of first and second vertical posts.

14. The fitness rig of claim 13 further comprising:

the grid including a module having first, second, third and fourth vertical posts arranged in a spaced polygonal configuration formed of opposed pairs of first, second, third and fourth posts arranged in perpendicular and parallel vertical planes.

15. The fitness rig of claim 14 wherein:

a plurality of bar assemblies are mounted between spaced pairs of the first, second, third and fourth vertical posts.

16. The fitness rig of claim 15 wherein:

each of the plurality of bar assemblies defines a sole structural connection between opposed pairs of the first, second, third and fourth vertical posts.
