Description
- This application is a continuation-in-part of, and claims the benefit of, U.S. Design application Ser. No. 29/493,144 to Trever Gregory, entitled SURFACE MOUNTED MODULAR EXERCISE DEVICE and filed on Jun. 5, 2014. This application also claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 62/008,701 to Trever Gregory, also entitled SURFACE MOUNTED MODULAR EXERCISE DEVICE. Both of these applications are hereby incorporated herein in their entirety by reference.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- Described herein are devices and methods relating generally to exercise and fitness and specifically to surface mounted exercise devices that can include modular components.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Throughout human history, the maintenance of proper health through exercise has been of utmost importance. From ancient athletes training for the Olympic games, to modern working individuals packed into gyms in early hours of the morning, humankind has always understood the importance of fitness. Recently, with advances in science and technology, many serious illnesses have been traced back to lack of exercise and related conditions such as obesity. Now more than ever, people are health-conscience and looking for the most cutting edge and efficient exercise equipment and routines.
- One problem in common with most modern exercise equipment is that the equipment is large, obtrusive and bulky. This equipment takes up space in a gym, that a gym owner would much rather use to house additional equipment or free space. Furthermore, individuals building up a “home gym” typically have even less free space to accommodate bulky equipment. Furthermore, each exercise machine typically only allows the user to perform a small number of exercises. Even machines that allow multiple exercises are bulky and typically consist of complex pulley systems, for example, such as those set forth in U.S. Pat. No. 7,798,946 to Dalebout, et al.
- Embodiments incorporating features of the present invention include devices and methods which incorporate a surface mounted “base structure” for use with one or more components allowing various resistance-based exercises to be performed, for example, exercises incorporating bars, benches, handles and resistance bands. The device can be made modular such that an intermediate structure can interchangeably cooperate with various components allowing a myriad of different exercises to be performed, utilizing the same single intermediate structure.
- The base structure can be connected to a surface such as a wall. A particular exercise element, such as a resistance band attachment or a chin-up bar, can be connected to the base structure with other elements, such as a bench, being put away when not in use. This allows for an easily adjustable all-in-one exercise experience while taking up a minimum amount of space. The device comprises very few “moving parts” and is thus also very stable and less likely to malfunction than complex “weight and pulley” systems.
- Devices incorporating features of the present invention also include various adaptations improving the safety and stability of the device. These aforementioned methods and devices thus provide a convenient, streamlined exercise device capable of targeting a wide variety of muscle groups while conserving space while minimizing preparation and set-up time.
- In one embodiment, an exercise device comprises a base structure, an intermediate structure configured to connect to the base structure, with the intermediate structure configured to accept a modular connection portion that is connected to an exercise element.
- In another embodiment, an exercise device comprises a base structure comprising one or more grooves, with at least one of the grooves comprising a substantially horizontal channel and a substantially vertical portion, with the grooves configured to connect to a modular connection portion connected to an exercise element.
- In still another embodiment, an exercise device comprises a substantially linear base structure configured to connect to a substantially vertical surface, a plurality of grooves in the substantially linear base structure, with the grooves comprising a substantially “L” shape comprising a substantially horizontal channel and a substantially vertical portion, and one or more intermediate structures, with the one or more intermediate structures configured to accept a modular connection portion connected to an exercise element.
- These and other further features and advantages of the invention would be apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description, taken together with the accompanying drawings, wherein like numerals designate corresponding parts in the figures, in which:
-
FIG. 1A is front perspective view of an embodiment of an exercise device incorporating features of the present invention; -

FIG. 9 is front perspective view of an embodiment of a ballet barre component for use with a universal bracket element of an exercise device incorporating features of the present invention. - The present disclosure will now set forth detailed descriptions of various embodiments. These embodiments comprise various features allowing for a streamlined, space-efficient and convenient exercise system. Devices incorporating features of the present invention comprise a base structure to which various exercise elements, for example, chin-up bars and benches, can be connected in a modular and interchangeable fashion. In some embodiments, the exercise components can be connected to the device through a temporarily or permanently connected intermediate structure. This allows for one intermediate structure, which can be easily positioned, to allow for readily interchangeable components, allowing a user to easily switch exercises without a complex and difficult disassembly and reassembly process of modular components to the base structure.
- Throughout this description, the preferred embodiment and examples illustrated should be considered as exemplars, rather than as limitations on the present invention. As used herein, the term “invention,” “device,” “method,” “present invention,” “present device” or “present method” refers to any one of the embodiments of the invention described herein, and any equivalents.

FIG. 1A shows anexercise device 100 comprising abase structure 102, which can further comprise one ormore notches 103, which help define one or more receivinggrooves 104. Thebase structure 102 can be configured with one or more intermediate structures 106 (three shown; hereinafter referred to in this application as a “universal bracket”). Thebase structure 102 can be configured to interact with and connect to various modular elements allowing different exercises to be performed, including but not limited to: resistance band exercises, exercises utilizing a “bar” or other support structure (such as chin-ups, dips and ballet exercises) and benches). In the embodiment shown, these modular elements include a chin-upbar 108, a dip/ab bar 110 and abench structure 112. - In some embodiments, the
universal bracket 106 is not utilized and a modular element can be directly connected to thebase element 102, for example, a resistance band attachment roughly parallel tobase element 102, such as flatresistance band receiver 116. In other embodiments, a directly attached modular element can include an angledresistance band receiver 118 that can allow a resistance band to be readily extended in a more angled direction. These directly attached modular attachments allow a resistance band to be attached to a resistanceband receiving component 120, for example, a looped structure as shown, which allows the resistance band to be easily connected and removed as desired while still providing a sturdy environment while the resistance band is in use. - The
universal bracket 106 and/or directly connected modular elements can be configured such that they can move in relation to thebase structure 102, allowing exercises to be performed at a variety of different heights and/or angles. In some embodiments, auniversal bracket 106 or connected element can be configured with thebase structure 102 in a “tack-like” manner in which portions of the element can slide up and down alinear base structure 102. -
Base structure 102 can be any shape that would allow connection to a wall, ceiling, floor or other surface, including but not limited to any circular or elliptical shape or any regular or irregular polygon. In some embodiments, such as the embodiment shown, thebase structure 102 can be substantially linear. This substantially linear shape allows for conservation of space, easily adjustable angles for connected modular elements, and more secure connection to certain surfaces, for example, substantially flat surfaces. In the embodiment shown, thebase element 102 comprises a substantially linear shape similar to an elongated letter “U.” Thebase structure 102 can connect to a surface utilizing any surface-connection method that is known in the art. - In some embodiments, the
base structure 102 can be connected to one or more substantially vertical surfaces, such as one or more walls, without being connected to another horizontal surface such as a floor or ceiling. Thebase structure 102 can be connected to surface along its length one or more points, for example, utilizing any connection elements that are known in the art, including but not limited to various anchors, nuts, bolts, nails and screws. In some embodiments, thebase structure 102 is connected to the surface at select points along its length to maximize stability. In some embodiments, thebase structure 102 can be connected to a sturdy portion of a wall, for example, a wall-stud or other reinforced portion. In other embodiments, a separate base plate (not shown) can be installed into a surface and thebase structure 102 can be connected to the base plate. The base plate can serve to further dissipate force applied to the surface by a user utilizing theexercise device 100. In some wall-mounted embodiments, thebase structure 102 can have a bottom portion resting on the floor to help reduce the force of the system on the attached wall. - In some embodiments, the
base structure 102 can be further connected to a horizontal surface to provide additional stability and support. In some embodiments, this further support connection can be provided via a modular exercise attachment, for example, in embodiments utilizing a bottom angledresistance band receiver 118, theelement 118 can further comprise afloor attachment portion 122, which can be used to connect thebase structure 102 to the floor via the angledresistance band receiver 118. In this embodiment, it can be useful to make angledresistance band receiver 118 permanent rather than removable and modular, in order to provide more stability and support. WhileFIG. 1A shows only a bottom support portion, it is understood that a similar structure can be used to connect thebase structure 102 to a ceiling applying the present disclosure regarding the floor mutatis mutandis to a ceiling connection. - The
base structure 102 can be made of any suitable material that would allow theexercise device 100 to function properly, with the preferable material being a sturdy material that can support weight and stress. Some suitable materials include, but are not limited to: metals, plastics, resins, wood and various sturdy polymers such as Poly(vinyl chloride) (“PVC”). Thebase structure 102 can be formed and shaped utilizing any suitable method for forming structures known in the art, including but not limited to: machining, etching, chemical and laser treatment, molding, and extrusion. - The
base structure 102 can further comprisenotches 103 and receivinggrooves 104, which can assist, facilitate and/or enable connection, both direct and/or via an intermediate structure such as auniversal bracket 106, of a modular exercise element to thebase structure 102. The notches and grooves can be any shape that can facilitate secure and/or easy connection of a modular exercise element to thebase structure 102, including but not limited to any circular or elliptical shape or regular or irregular polygon. - In the embodiment shown in
FIG. 1A , the notches are roughly “L” shaped, resulting in grooves that are roughly gamma or reverse-gamma shaped. This is shown more clearly inFIG. 1B , which more clearly demonstrates how thenotches 103 and receivinggrooves 104 can more securely hold a connected element, allowing connection by placing a connection portion of an element through a substantiallyhorizontal channel 124 of the receivinggroove 104 and allowing the connection portion to utilize gravity and come to rest in the substantiallyvertical portion 126 of the receivinggroove 104. - The
base structure 102 can be configured with a surface in a variety of different ways to improve system function and stability with the exertion of multiple force vertices being considered. Beyond the forces considered with the connection of the modular elements, thebase structure 102 can be configured to reduce any forces generated by a user utilizing a modular exercise component. Due to the base structure's 102 connection to a surface, most forces applied to a connected modular component will be partially redirected into the surface, rather than pulling down and outward. This positioning can be accomplished by the positioning axles on thebase structure 102 relative to where weight or force will be applied. The dissipation of down & outward forces by redirecting them into a surface can help minimize the risk of the system unintentionally disconnecting from the affixed surface. -
FIGS. 2 and 3 show one embodiment of a possibleuniversal bracket 200, similar to theuniversal brackets 106 shown inFIG. 1A .Universal bracket 200 can be made of similar materials as those listed above for thebase structure 102 inFIG. 1A , but theuniversal bracket 200 need not be made of the same material as the base structure. Theuniversal bracket 200 comprises abody portion 202, which in turn comprises one ormore connection elements 204, 206 (two shown). Theconnection elements universal bracket 200 to a base structure 102 (as shown inFIG. 1A ), for example, by inserting theconnection elements FIG. 1B ). By designing the dimensions of the universal bracket to correlate with a corresponding notch and groove structure, simple gravity and spacing allows theconnection elements body portion 202 does not substantially move in relation to a connected base element. - The
universal bracket 200 can further comprise additional features to improve device stability and security and to prevent and/or hinder movement ofbody portion 202. For example, theuniversal bracket 202 can further comprise one or more safety components such as safety latches 208, which can be moveably positioned in a desired location in relation to the device, for example, in another groove of the device, to further prevent movement ofbody portion 202. For example, in the embodiment shown,safety latch 208 can be rotated about anaxis 210 so that thelower portion 212 of the latch can securely rest in a lower groove of a base structure (such asbase structure 102 inFIG. 1A ). This further helps prevent upward movement ofuniversal bracket 200 due to a user applying directional forces. Another safety feature is thatbody portion 202 can compriselipped side portions 214 that can be configured to fit comfortably around a base structure to prevent further movement. - The
universal bracket 200 further comprises abracket connection element 216, which can be configured to interact or mate with a corresponding structure on a modular exercise element to connect the modular element to theuniversal bracket 200. Thebracket connection element 216 can be any type of connection, for example, interchangeable connection, that is known in the art, for example a male-female connection or any other connection utilizing a lock-and-key or corresponding structures. In the embodiment shown, thebracket connection element 216 comprises a receivingportion 218, which can be configured to receive a corresponding structure. Example corresponding structures will be set forth in further detail below. Theuniversal bracket 200 can further comprise alock structure 220, which can further secure a corresponding structure on a modular element to the bracket connection element 216 (this will be discussed in more detail further below). - The
universal bracket 200 can further comprise asupport structure 222, which can provide additional support to theuniversal bracket 200 against force applied by a user. Any additional structure that can help to redirect or otherwise dissipate force can be used. In the embodiments shown, thesupport structure 222 is a support beam angled to provide additional support against pulling forces, especially downward forces, applied to theuniversal bracket 200. -
FIG. 4 shows an examplemodular exercise element 300 that can be utilized in conjunction with theuniversal bracket 200 shown inFIGS. 2-3 . This particularmodular exercise element 300 is for use with resistance-band-based exercises and comprises a resistanceband receiving component 302, similar to resistanceband receiving component 120 inFIG. 1A above. Themodular exercise element 300 further comprises a modularelement connection portion 304, which can be configured to interact or mate with a corresponding structure on a universal bracket such asbracket connection element 216 inFIGS. 2-3 above. - In the embodiment shown, the modular
element connection portion 304 can be configured to slide into or over a corresponding bracket connection element. The modularelement connection portion 304 can also further compriseholes 306 which can line up with corresponding holes on the bracket connection element and can interact with a locking mechanism (such aslock structure 220 inFIGS. 2-3 above) to further secure the two connection elements together. - The
holes 306 can be arranged on each side of the modularelement connection portion 304, so that the resistanceband receiving component 302 can be secured and orientated in a variety of positions. Alternatively or in addition, the resistanceband receiving component 302 can be made rotatable in relation to the modularelement connection portion 304. It is also understood that while the figures depict the resistanceband receiving component 302 as a loop structures, various other structures known in the art for use with resistance bands can be utilized. -
FIG. 5 shows amodular exercise element 400 configured for direct connection to the base structure and not utilizing a universal bracket. Thismodular exercise element 400 comprises a resistanceband receiving component 402, abody 404 and anoptional safety latch 406. The body 409 andsafety latch 406 function similarly to thebody 202 andsafety latch 208 of theuniversal bracket 200 inFIGS. 2-3 .Modular exercise element 400 can be used as a modular component and can be connectable and detachable to a base structure by utilizing connection elements, such as theconnection elements FIGS. 2-3 . Alternatively,modular exercise element 400 can be permanently connected to a base structure. While this embodiment shows a direct connection configuration for a resistance band, it is understood that a similar structure can be used -
FIGS. 6-9 show various example modular elements that can be utilized with a universal bracket in a manner similar tomodular exercise element 300 inFIG. 4 .
