Door Mounted Exercise Assembly

Abstract

The present invention provides a new and improved article of exercise assembly. The device is adapted for attachment onto an upper portion of a doorway and is retained thereon without requiring attachment of permanent fixtures to the doorframe. The device includes a plurality of pulley wheels and a cable running therethrough. The cable is attached to a weight on a first end and a handle on a second end. The cable facilitates user exercises by raising or lowering the weights when a user pulls the handle and attached cable downward. The assembly is capable of supporting weighted plates, thereby providing resistance variety. Individuals can use the assembly at a variety of positions to exercise different muscles of the body.

I claim: 
     
         1 ) A doorway mounted pulley exercise assembly comprising:
 a main body frame;   said main body frame having two laterally opposing arcuate bars positioned in parallel and having the same orientation, wherein said arcuate bars are secured to a set of first, second, and third crossbars;   said first cross bar positioned at a proximal position along said two laterally opposing arcuate bars;   said second cross bar positioned at a distal position along said two laterally opposing arcuate bars;   said third crossbar positioned at a distal position along said two laterally opposing arcuate bars;   a pulley system comprising a set of first, second, and third pulley and a pulley cord that translates along said pulleys;   clips disposed at opposing ends of said pulley cord;   said pulley system is secured to said main body frame along said second and third crossbars.   
     
     
         2 ) The assembly of  claim 1 , wherein said first crossbar is adapted to be situated on an upper portion doorway and said second crossbar is adapted to be positioned on an opposite side of said doorway when said assembly is in use and secured to said doorway. 
     
     
         3 ) The assembly of  claim 1 , wherein said second crossbar includes padding at its ends adapted to reduce denting of said doorway. 
     
     
         4 ) The assembly of  claim 1 , wherein said pulley system includes apertures adapted to receive said second and third crossbars. 
     
     
         5 ) The assembly of  claim 1 , wherein said pulley cord comprises:
 a weight holder at one end and a handle at an opposite end;   wherein said weight holder includes a central stem adapted for reception of weighted plates and a base member adapted for receiving and supporting weighted plates thereon;   and wherein said handle is configured for actuating said pulley system.   
     
     
         6 ) The assembly of  claim 5  wherein said weight holder has a connection ring disposed at the top of said central stem.
