: Application filed December 24;;1925. Serial in 77,495; 3
This invention relates to an exerciser swing deslgned primarily for use 111 connection with an exerciser of that type disclosed in my Patent No. 1,565,484.,dated Decem 6 her 15, 1925.
One of the objects of the invention is to the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment ofthe invention herein disclosed may be made Within the scope of whatis claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.
In the accompanying drawings the preferred form of the invention has been shown.
In said drawings,
Figure 1 is an elevation of the swing exerciser supported above a platform exerciser with which it.can be used.
Figure 2 is a side elevation of the swing exerciser.
Figure 3 is a view partly in elevation and partly in section of the swivel eye and the block thereon.
Figure 4 is a view partly in elevation and partly in section of one of the end sleeves of the handle bar.
Referring to the figures by'characters of reference 1 designates ablock having oppositely extending pairs of ears .2 forming a slot therebetween, there being laterally extending flanges 3 at the sides of the block. A bore 4 is extended through the block at the center thereof and mounted therein is the stem 5 of an eye 6. This stem is held against withdrawal from the bore 4 by one or more nuts 7 engaging the threaded end of the stem.
Pivotally mounted between the ears of eachpair are the upper members '8 of supporting strips, these members being provided with longitudinal series of apertures 9. The members 8 lap the upper end por- 65 tions of additional members 10 likewise provided with longitudinal series of apertures V 11 land are designed to extend through registering apertures within the two members-18 and110-so as to hold said n embers lixedrelativeto each other. Obviously Wlth this construction the supports formed. bythe members 8 and 10v canwbe lengthened or shortened as desired. A handle bar 13 has each ofits endsextended 'into'a sleeve 14 terminating ina knob i 15 or the hkem Extending (upwardly from each of these sleeves are ears 16 arranged inupairs and the lowe'rendslof the members 10are pivotally mounted between the ears of these pairs. 'Downwardly extending 6211517 are formed on the sleeves andare arranged in pairs, and. extending between and secured to theseears 17 are the: upper links of 0113111818 Any one of the "links of each ofthese (31131115 is adapted'to be detachably engaged by a book 19 extending from a yoke 20 andinounted in the yoke is a grip 21. i
3 The platformg, exerciser with which this i swing is to be used has'been: indicated gen-r erally at E and includes a foot rest R mounted to rockin any direction and also to rotate upon a base B, there being a circular apron A depending from the foot rest for rolling upon'the base.
Inusing the exerciser constituting the present invention av hook 22 is secured in the ceiling or other suitable structure directly above the center of the exerciser E after which the eye 6 is placed in engagement with the hook andthus supports the handle bar 13 as shown. The members 8 and 10 constituting the supports for the handle bars can be lengthened or shortened to meet the requirements and the same is 'true of the connection between the handle bar and the grip 21. In other words the hooks 19 can be placed in any desired links of the chains 18 so as to bring the grips to desired positions relative to the bar 13. After the parts have been adjusted the user stands upon the tiltable and rotatable rest R andgrasps the grips 21. He can then swing the body in any direction, allowing it to sag forwardly, laterally or backwardly. At the same time the body can be caused to rotate with the tiltable and rotatable exerciser E and during this operation the swin will likewise rotate upon the stem orshanl 5. It is to be understood, of course, that the swing is free to incline in any direction as well as to swing in any direction and obviously various exercises canthus be carried on by the use of the apparatus. The grips 21 can be discarded if desired and the operator grasp the bar 13.
It is essential that the swing be adjustable toward and from the eye 6 and that the grips 21 be also adjustable relative to the bar. It is also essential that the swing be capable of swinging in any direction as well as rotating relative to its supporting hook 22. Itis to be understood that instead of a hook 22 for supporting this exerciser an eye supporting the bar at a predetermined dissupport of the swivel eye.
t'ance from the, swivel eye, said bar and connections being mounted to rotate relative to the swivel eye and to swing relative'to the 2. An exerciser swing including a handle bar,- sleeves on the end portions thereof, a swivel eye for engaging and swinging in any direction relative to a support, a member mounted for rotation on the swivel eye, and
lapping strips adjustably connected, and constituting longitudinally adjustable connections between said member and the retance from the swivel eye.
3. The combination with a tiltable and rotatable foot rest, of a swing supported there above for use by the occupant of the foot rest, said swing including a handle bar, sleeves on the end portions thereof, a support in vertical alinement with. the center of the foot rest, a swivel eye engaging the support and adapted to swing and rotate in any direction relative thereto, connecting members diverging downwardly from'tlie swivel eye, each member including lapping longitudinally adjustable strips normally secured against relative movement, said connections being attached to the respective sleeves and being adjustable to vary the distance between the bar and the foot rest and between the bar and the support, grips,and flexible connections between the grips and the respective sleeves, said grips being quick detachable and adjustable relative to their connections. r
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto afiixed my signature.
