Abstract

A gym tower which includes a base and a plurality of internal weights vertically stacked on the base. A frame is connected to the base and extends upward from the base to engage with the plurality of internal weights. A top plate is connected to the frame, so that the base and the plate enclose the plurality of internal weights within the frame. The tower also includes a spine is adapted to selectively engage the plurality of internal weights. A main pulley is connected to the top plate and a main cable is fed through the main pulley. The main cable is connectable to the spine at a first end and includes a connector device at a second end. The tower also includes a rod adapted to engage with the spine and to select an internal weight and is adapted to secure to external weights.

Claims

1. A gym tower comprising:

a base;

a plurality of internal weights vertically stacked on said base;

a frame connected to said base and extending upward from said base to engage with said plurality of internal weights;

a top plate connected to said frame, wherein said base and said top plate enclose said plurality of internal weights within said frame;

a spine adapted to selectively engage with said plurality of internal weights;

a main pulley connected to said top plate;

a main cable fed through said top pulley, said main cable connectable to said spine at a first end and comprising connector means at a second end; and

a rod adapted to engage with said spine and to select an internal weight and is adapted to secure to external weights.

2. The gym tower of claim 1 wherein said frame comprises four posts.

3. The gym tower of claim 2 wherein each of said posts is vertically shaped to comprise a right-angle.

4. The gym tower of claim 3 wherein said right angle posts extend vertically through said plurality of internal weights.

5. The gym tower of claim 4 wherein each of said right angle posts extend vertically through a corner of each internal weight.

6. The gym tower of claim 1 wherein each internal weight comprises a vertical and a horizontal through-hole, said spine being adapted to insert and slide within said vertical through-holes of said plurality of internal weights and said rod being adapted to insert through a horizontal through-hole of a selected weight.

7. The gym tower of claim 1 wherein each internal weight comprises a vertical slot and a horizontal through-hole, said spine being adapted to insert and slide within said slots of said plurality of internal weights and said rod being adapted to insert through a horizontal through-hole of a selected weight.

8. The gym tower of claim 1 wherein each internal weight comprises a center bore and a handle bore.

9. The gym tower of claim 8 further comprising a peg adapted to insert into said center bore.

10. The gym tower of claim 8 further comprising a secondary handle adapted to insert into said handle bore.

11. The gym tower of claim 1 wherein said rod is adapted to extend through and past a through-hole of an internal weight.

12. The gym tower of claim 1 wherein said spine comprises a vertical section and a horizontal section, said main cable connecting to said spine at said horizontal section.

13. The gym tower of claim 1 further comprising a secondary pulley connectable to the tower.

14. The gym tower of claim 1 further comprising a slider panel connected to said base and extending upward from said base through said plurality of internal weights.

15. The gym tower of claim 13 wherein said spine is adapted to insert and slide within said slider panel.
