Multi-gym apparatus

Abstract

A multi-gym apparatus comprises a frame, the frame having an upright structure and a bar assembly mounted movably on the upright structure between selected positions on the upright members. The bar assembly includes an elongate bar and a bracket attached to the elongate bar, the bracket being shaped and dimensioned to abut against at least one side of the upright structure. The bracket receives a locking means which is movable between a first position in which the locking means is engaged with upright structure thereby locking the bar in a selected position relative to the upright structure and a second position in which the locking means is clear of the upright structure thereby providing for movement of the bar relative to the upright structure. The elongate bar includes two outer bar members, one to each side of the bracket extending at an angle that projects forward of the bracket and upright structure.
