- The invention relates generally to exercise equipment, and in particular to a three-ring portable climbing device. For many parents, keeping their children active and involved in supervised physical activities can be challenging. Such sedentary diversions as video gaming, cable television and the Internet have monopolized the attention of children like never before, this is particularly true for millions of families residing in apartments, condominiums, and mobile homes, where yard space may be scarce or nonexistent, but sending the children to a playground away from the home may be less than desirable for various reasons. Children love to climb, and a climbing device which may be temporarily attached to a more permanent structure, and easily removed and stored when not in use, would be well received. Adults may also use it for exercise purposes. A three-ring portable climbing device, which may be attached to a pull-up bar, pole, or other permanent structure, but is easily transported and folds compactly, would resolve this problem.
- Accordingly, the invention is directed to a three-ring portable climbing device. The device is comprised of three same-size rings, preferably six to eight inches in diameter, linked together with a rope which is preferably manufactured from eight strands of paracord. An extended length of rope is provided at the upper end, such that the user may tie it to a pull-up bar, vertical post, or similar permanent structure. Multiple devices may be linked together by tying the extended length of rope from one device to the lowermost ring of another device.
- Additional features and advantages of the invention will be set forth in the description which follows, and will be apparent from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. The foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory and are intended to provide further explanation of the invention.
- The accompanying drawings are included to provide a further understanding of the invention and are incorporated into and constitute a part of the specification. They illustrate two embodiments of the invention and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the invention.

FIG. 1 is a front view of the first exemplary embodiment, displaying thedevice 10, therings 11, theropes 12, and the extended lengths ofrope 13. -
FIG. 2 is a front view of the second exemplary embodiment, displaying thedevice 10, therings 11, theropes 12, and the extended lengths ofrope 13. -
FIG. 3 is a side view of the first exemplary embodiment, displaying thedevices 10, therings 11, theropes 12, and the extended lengths ofrope 13. -
FIG. 4 is a side view of the second exemplary embodiment, displaying thedevices 10, therings 11, theropes 12, and the extended lengths ofrope 13 arranged such that asecond device 10 is attached to thebottom ring 11B of afirst device 10. - Referring now to the invention in more detail, the invention is directed to a multi-ring
portable climbing device 10. - The first exemplary embodiment is comprised of three same-
size rings 11, preferably six to eight inches in diameter, linked together with arope 12 which is preferably manufactured from eight strands of paracord. More orfewer rings 11 are contemplated. Therings 11 of the first exemplary embodiment are slender, and are preferably manufactured from a rigid, durable material with substantial structural strength, such as steel or aluminum alloy. An extended length ofrope 13 is provided at the upper end 13A extending above thetop ring 11A, such that the user may tie it to anexternal structure 20 such as a pull-up bar, vertical post, or similar permanent structure.Multiple devices 10 may be linked together by tying the extended length ofrope 13 from onedevice 10 to thelowermost ring 11B of anotherdevice 10. - The second exemplary embodiment is virtually identical in structure and function to the first exemplary embodiment, except that the
rings 11 are broader, and may be manufactured from a lighter material with less structural strength, such as wood or high-impact plastic. Due to the lesser structural strength of the second exemplary embodiment, it may be restricted to use by children under a specified weight, such as 60 pounds. - To use the first or the second exemplary embodiment, the user ties the extended length of
rope 13 to a pull-up bar, vertical pole, or similar permanent structure. The user or a child may then use thedevice 10 for climbing. - The
rings 11 in the first exemplary embodiment are preferably manufactured from a rigid, durable material with substantial structural strength, such as steel or aluminum alloy. Therings 11 in the second exemplary embodiment are preferably manufactured from a rigid, durable material which is lightweight, such as wood or high-impact plastic. Therope 12 is preferably manufactured from a flexible, durable material with substantial strength, such as nylon paracord. Components, component sizes, and materials listed above are preferable, but artisans will recognize that alternate components and materials could be selected without altering the scope of the invention. - While the foregoing written description of the invention enables one of ordinary skill to make and use what is presently considered to be the best mode thereof, those of ordinary skill in the art will understand and appreciate the existence of variations, combinations, and equivalents of the specific embodiment, method, and examples herein. The invention should, therefore, not be limited by the above described embodiment, method, and examples, but by all embodiments and methods within the scope and spirit of the invention.
