Abstract:
A support arrangement for supporting a movable exercise device from a rigid, substantially vertically-extending surface, said support arrangement comprising:a. an elongated mounting bar for attachment to the substantially-vertically extending surface; b. a pair of support rods rigidly carded by the mounting bar and extending outwardly therefrom and terminating in a stop member; c. a slat carried on the support rods, the slat having a pair of longitudinally-spaced openings for receiving a respective support rod and for enabling axial sliding movement of the slat along the support rods and toward and away from the mounting bar; d. a first biasing member carried by each of the support rods and positioned between the mounting bar and the slat to bear against and bias the slat in a direction away from the mounting bar; e. a second biasing member carried by each of the support rods and positioned between the slat and the stop member carried by the support rod for bearing against and biasing the slat in a direction toward the mounting bar and against a biasing force exerted by the first biasing member; f. whereby the first and second biasing members resiliently support the slat in an intermediate position between the mounting bar and the stop members carried by the support bars; and g. a movable exercise device carried by the slat.
