Abstract:
1. A resistance-type exercise device comprising: (a) a frame having an upper horizontal member and left and right vertical members attached to said upper horizontal member; (b) a plurality of loops integral with said vertical members of said frame and spaced from each other by an interloop distance; (c) a left hinge bar mounting bracket integral with said left vertical member of said frame; (d) a right hinge bar mounting bracket integral with said right vertical member of said frame; (e) a hinge bar having a left end rotatably attached to said left vertical member by said left hinge bar mounting bracket and a right end rotatably attached to said right vertical member by said right hinge bar mounting bracket; (f) a left swing arm having a distal end rotatably attached to said left end of said hinge bar and a proximal end with at least one spring attachment loop integral therewith and disposed at said proximal end; (g) a right swing arm having a distal end rotatably attached to said right end of said hinge bar and a proximal end with at least one spring attachment loop integral therewith and disposed adjacent said proximal end; (h) a resistance bar having a left end attached to said proximal end of said left swing arm, and a right end attached to said proximal end of said right swing arm; (i) two substantially identical springs, each spring having a proximal end and a distal end with hooks thereon, said hooks being operable for releasably engaging said spring attachment loops on said frame and on said swing arms; and (j) a storage case dimensioned to receive said frame therewithin, said storage case having a lid and a base portion having pivotal frame mounting means thereon operable for pivotally attaching said left and right vertical members of said frame to said base portion of said storage case.
