Functional Exercise Device

Abstract

An exercise device with a frame which may include a longitudinal center section, defining a first end and a second end, and two substantially equal end sections, one of each of the end sections may be coupled to the first end and the second end of the center section substantially at a midpoint with respect to the width and the height of the end sections. One or more pins may be coupled to the frame between the first end and the second end, the pins adapted to receive weight plates. A bumper may be coupled to the top and bottom of the end sections. A sled frame may be added to the device to convert the device to a functional sled with different configurations. The sled skids may be removable to be easily repositioned, removed or replaced when worn.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An exercise device, comprising:
 a sled frame including a frame receiver including a first end and a second end, and a frame support adapted to fasten the frame receiver to a mounting plate; and   a sled skid including:
 a skid extension adapted to be releasably coupled to the first end or the second end of each frame receiver; 
 a skid base with a first end and a second end, the skid base mounted to the skid extension; 
 a skid rail mounted to the skid base; and 
 a skid rib coupled to the skid base and the skid rail at a position between the first end and the second end of the skid base. 
   
     
     
         2 . The exercise device according to  claim 1 , further comprising a handle including a handle extension adapted to be releasably coupled to the first end or the second end of the frame receiver, the handle further comprising a handle bar mounted to the handle extension. 
     
     
         3 . The exercise device according to  claim 1 , wherein the sled frame includes a first lock coupled to the first end of the frame receiver and a second lock coupled to the second end of the frame receiver. 
     
     
         4 . The exercise device according to  claim 3 , wherein the first lock and the second lock each include a lock pin adapted to be received by a pin receiver in the skid extension of the sled skid. 
     
     
         5 . The exercise device according to  claim 4 , wherein the pin receiver on the skid extension of the sled skid is an elongated slot, whereby the pin may be received in the elongated slot, the skid may still move with respect to the lock, within the limits of the elongated slot. 
     
     
         6 . The exercise device according to  claim 4 , wherein the pin receiver is located in two opposing sides of the skid extension, providing a pin receiver on either side of the sled skid. 
     
     
         7 . The exercise device according to  claim 3 , wherein the first lock and the second lock are each comprised of a spring biased pin. 
     
     
         8 . The exercise device according to  claim 1 , wherein the sled frame is further comprised of a first frame receiver and a second frame receiver positioned substantially parallel to one another and a frame cross bar connecting the first frame receiver to the second frame receiver. 
     
     
         9 . The exercise device according to  claim 8 , wherein the frame cross bar is positioned closer to the first end of the first frame receiver than it is to the second end of the first frame receiver. 
     
     
         10 . The exercise device according to  claim 1 , wherein the skid rail includes an arcuate portion. 
     
     
         11 . The exercise device according to  claim 1 , further comprising a double flange bushing provided near the first end and the second end of each of the first frame receiver and the second frame receiver, the double flange bushing secured to the first frame receiver and the second frame receiver and adapted to receive the skid extension of the sled skid. 
     
     
         12 . The exercise device according to  claim 1 , further including a warning label positioned on an upper extension of the skid base of the sled skid.
