Abstract:
A sectional horizontal bar convertible into parallel bars, comprising:two symmetrical H-shaped uprights, each of which including two upright posts, a rail transversely extended between said two upright posts at a predetermined height, a lower and an upper support substantially in the shape of letter D pivotally connected to two lower ends and two upper portions, respectively, of said two upright posts, and connecting holes formed at lower ends and upper ends of said upright posts; two symmetrical curved bases formed from bent pipes, each of which having two diametrically reduced ends adapted to insert into two of said connecting holes at the lower ends of said upright posts that are located at the same side, such that said two curved bases separately extend forward and rearward from lower ends of said two uprights to provide an increased contact area of said sectional horizontal bar with a floor; two symmetrical A-shaped bar supports, each of which having two spaced and diametrically reduced lower ends for inserting into said connecting holes at upper ends of said H-shaped uprights, and a converged upper end at where a connecting hole is provided; and a top bar being supported on said two bar supports with two ends thereof received in said connecting hole at said converged upper ends of said bar supports, and two metal hangers being put on a middle portion of said top bar for holding a grip bar thereto; whereby when said D-shaped lower and upper supports pivotally connected to said two H-shaped uprights are turned to outer sides of said uprights, a user may grip with two hands at said grip bar below said top bar to do exercises available on a horizontal bar; and when said D-shaped lower and upper supports are turned to inner sides of said uprights, a user may grip with two hands at said upper supports below said top bar to do exercises available on parallel bars.
