Patent ID: 8821359

Claim:
An anchor device providing multiple attachment locations for elastic exercise bands and being mountable on a vertical support member having a vertical dimension and a transverse dimension; said anchor device including: a. a vertically oriented strap member including cooperating attachment members adjacent the opposed ends thereof for attaching the vertically oriented strap member about the vertical dimension of said vertical support member, said vertically oriented strap member, when attached to the vertical support member having a front section and a rear section, said rear section including the cooperating attachment members; b. a plurality of horizontal strap members attached to said front section of said vertically oriented strap member and being spaced vertically along said front section, each of said horizontal strap members including cooperating attachment members adjacent the opposed ends thereof for attaching said horizontal strap members about a transverse dimension of said vertical support member, said horizontal strap members each having a front horizontal strap section and a rear horizontal strap section, said front horizontal strap section including a first end section extending transversely from one side of the front section of the vertically oriented strap member and a second end section extending transversely from a second side of the front section of the vertically oriented strap member; c. at least two, transversely spaced-apart band-receiving loop members attached to at least one horizontal strap member being adapted to receive an elastic exercise band therethrough, two of said transversely spaced-apart band-receiving loop members on said at least one horizontal strap member being on said first end section and said second end section, respectively, whereby when an elastic exercise band extends through said two spaced-apart band-receiving loop members slack in the band is taken up by the section of the band bridging the two spaced-apart loop members through which said band extends; d. at least two, transversely spaced-apart ring members attached to at least one horizontal strap member, two of said transversely spaced-apart ring members on said at least one horizontal strap member being on said first end section and said second end section, respectively, each of said ring members being adapted to be individually connected to an end of separate exercise bands, and e. the front section of each of said plurality of horizontal strap members including said at least two, transversely spaced-apart ring members and/or said at least two, transversely spaced-apart band-receiving loop members attached thereto.
