Modular structures

Abstract

A modular kit of parts creates structures to store and suspend equipment used for physical fitness. A structure can be created that can store fitness equipment such as exercise balls, dumb bells, kettle bells and the like. Further, the structure can incorporate exercise bars, and can store and deploy such equipment as suspension straps, punching bags, heavy bags, yoga straps, which are suspended from multi axial pivoting anchors that afford no frictional resistance when the equipment is utilized for exercise.

         4 . Apparatus for securing support devices comprising in combination:
 at least a pair of u-shaped channel members having a plurality of slots in the extending walls;   an elongated support device having a first tab at each end of said device, said first tabs being sized and configured for insertion into said channel members slots; and   stabilizing means adjacent said tabs for resisting rotational forces when objects are placed on said support device.   
     
     
         5 . Apparatus as in  claim 4 , wherein said stabilizing means include second tabs sized and configured for insertion into slots above the slots receiving said first tabs. 
     
     
         6 . Apparatus as in  claim 4  wherein said stabilizing means include arms extending downward to engage the extending wall containing the slots into which said first tabs are to be inserted. 
     
     
         7 . A device for holding and storing objects comprising:
 a fixed vertical support frame having at least one longitudinal shelf element capable of at least partial longitudinal rotation about a first axis extending horizontally from a first side of said support frame, said first side having a first slot;   a first hook for reversibly attaching first end of said shelf element to said first slot;   at least one depending element attached to said shelf first end, said depending element having a first portion substantially perpendicular to said shelf element and a second portion at a remote end of said depending element positioned to contact said first side of said support frame to restrict said shelf element's rotation about said first axis.   
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 7  wherein a second depending element is connected to the opposite end of said shelf element. 
     
     
         9 . A device for holding and storing objects comprising:
 a fixed vertical support frame having at least one longitudinal shelf element capable of at least partial longitudinal rotation about a first axis extending horizontally within said support frame;   a first slot in said vertical support frame;   a second slot in said vertical support frame disposed above said first slot;   a first hook attached to said shelf element for reversibly connecting said shelf element to said first slot; and   a second hook attached to said shelf element above said first hook for reversibly connecting said shelf element to said second slot; whereby said second hook resists rotation of said shelf element.   
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 9  wherein said support frame has a pair of slots in a side opposite that containing said first and second slots;
 third and fourth hooks attached to the opposite end of said shelf element, said third and fourth hooks being adapted to reversibly connect to said third and fourth slots to resist rotation of said shelf element.
