Description

TECHNICAL FIELD OF INVENTION

The present invention generally relates to an exercising apparatus and more particularly the present invention pertains to an exercising apparatus comprising a handle, a mounting assembly, a clamp assembly and an arm extension assembly wherein arm extension assembly comprises at least one weight attachment portion such that a user can lift weight attached to the weight attachment portion of the arm extension assembly by moving the handle.

BACKGROUND

Nowadays, daily exercising has become a necessity in the modern world. Generally, a user can perform various exercises in home-made gyms or commercial gym facilities. The commercial gym offers a quality environment to perform exercises and it is also a place for social gathering for many users. Typically, gyms are equipped with various exercising equipments such as but not limited to dumbbells, weightlifting bars, weight training racks, landmine holders, and gym machines and so on.
Various exercises such as but not limited to squats, presses, landmine row and so on are performed in the gym using landmine holders. The landmine holders generally include a hollow portion in which an end of a barbell is inserted and the user can lift the opposite end of the barbell using his/her hands. A user can increase or decrease physical effort required (resistance) by adding appropriate weights such as weight plates carried on the barbell. Further, the user can alternatively place the barbell end against a corner of a room and then lift the other end of barbell to perform these exercises. However, the improper connection of the barbell and the corner could result in accidents.
Landmine holders involving use of barbells has few drawbacks. Generally, barbell does not include graspable handles at the ends which could result in difficulty of gripping the end of barbells during exercising especially when the weights are attached to the barbells. A user can lift the barbell using a v shaped handle. However, these handles are not properly connected to the barbell and the handle can slide relative to the barbell thereby adding discomfort of the user. Further, barbells generally can carry weight plates only and so, other types of weighted objects such as but not limited to kettlebells, dumbbells and so on cannot be readily added to the barbell thereby limiting type of weighted objects that can be attached to the barbell. Further, even if user attaches, the weighted objects cannot be properly attached to the barbell and thus, the weighted objects can accidentally fall when user is performing exercises thereby posing some safety risks.
Additionally, the landmine holders generally are fixedly connected to a gym machine or a similar support structure. Thus, the landmine holders cannot be readily transported from one location to another by merely detaching it from the support structure. Further, landmine holder generally allows limited range of movement of barbell in either one direction (i.e. Movement along x direction) or two directions (movement along either x direction and y direction). Thus, a user is unable to perform some specific exercises which require free movement of the barbell (movement along x axis, y axis and z axis) thereby limiting the use of landmine holders. Further, a user can not readily perform exercises in open areas such as public parks, homes using landmine holders as landmine holders currently available in markets cannot be readily attached to multiple structures such as trees, doors and so on.
Many attempts to provide solutions to some of the problems discussed hereinabove may be found in the prior art, such as for example: U.S. Pat. No. 8,974,354B1 discloses a landmine apparatuses including a mounting base and a receptacle for receiving a weight bar. The receptacle is coupled to the mounting base and rotatable about a horizontal axis and in 360 degrees about a vertical axis. A vertical pivot connects the receptacle to the mounting base such that the receptacle is retained in a single horizontal plane while rotating about the vertical axis.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,323,236A discloses a body exercising apparatus, in the form of a weight lifting apparatus, which includes an elongate lever arm having first and second opposite ends. The first end of the lever arm is capable of being pivotally mounted to a supporting structure, and preferably a relatively vertically disposed wall. For this purpose, a mounting element is provided on the first end of the lever arm for pivotally mounting this lever arm to such relatively permanent structure and preferably such vertically disposed wall. A weight retaining rod is operatively mounted on the lever arm and is capable of receiving conventional bar-bell type weights in selected amounts. A handle member is located at the second end of the lever arm for engagement by the hands of a user of the apparatus so this user can attempt to lift the lever arm about the pivotal connection with respect to the supporting structure against one or more weights placed on the weight retaining rod.
However, U.S. Pat. No. 4,323,236A does not allow rotation of the lever arm along three degrees of freedom. Further, the prior art U.S. Pat. No. 4,323,236A involves use of bar bell weights only, thereby limiting the use of the body exercising apparatus. Further, the U.S. Pat. No. 4,323,236A does not include a detachable body exercising apparatus which could be transported to another location and stored before being used.
Thus, in the light of the above-mentioned background art, it is evident that, there is a need for a relatively simple, versatile, safe, and inexpensive exercising apparatus that would be simple in terms of design and at the same time could overcome above discussed drawbacks. The exercising apparatus could be removably installed at multiple locations and can be easily assembled and disassembled and could be stored for later use.
