Exercise Device

Abstract

An exercise device may have a static portion, a dynamic portion, and a slide system. At least a portion of the slide system may be fixedly attached to the static portion, the dynamic portion may be pivotally attached to the slide system, and the slide system may have at least one bracket, at least one slide bar, and a front slide.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An exercise device, comprising:
 a static portion, a dynamic portion, and a slide system,   wherein at least a portion of the slide system is fixedly attached to the static portion,   wherein the dynamic portion is pivotally attached to the slide system, and   wherein the slide system comprises at least one bracket, at least one slide bar, and a front slide.   
     
     
         2 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one bracket is fixedly attached to a bottom portion of the static portion and is adapted to receive the at least one slide bar. 
     
     
         3 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein a bottom surface of the front slide is directly connected to a top surface of the slide bar. 
     
     
         4 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein the slide bar comprises a front portion and a rear portion. 
     
     
         5 . The exercise device of  claim 4 , wherein the rear portion of the slide bar comprises a flared portion that is adapted to make selective contact with the bracket. 
     
     
         6 . The exercise device of  claim 4 , wherein the front slide is attached to the front portion of the slide bar. 
     
     
         7 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein the bracket comprises a base portion and two leg portions, wherein the base portion is directly attached to the bottom surface of the static portion and the two leg portions extend transverse therefrom. 
     
     
         8 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein the dynamic portion is pivotally attached to the slide system via at least one hinge housing. 
     
     
         9 . The exercise device of  claim 8 , wherein the at least one hinge house is directly attached to an upper side of the front slide. 
     
     
         10 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein the dynamic portion comprises an upper jaw that opens downward and a lower jaw that opens upward. 
     
     
         11 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein the static portion may comprise at least one hook on a lower, rear portion and at least one hook on an upper, front portion. 
     
     
         12 . An exercise device, comprising
 a static portion, a dynamic portion, and a slide portion,   wherein the dynamic portion is attached to a first end portion of the slide portion via at least one pivot,   wherein the static portion is directly attached to a second end of the slide portion.   
     
     
         13 . The exercise device of  claim 12 , wherein the at least one pivot is attached to an upper side of the first end of the slide portion. 
     
     
         14 . The exercise device of  claim 12 , wherein the second end of the slide portion is attached to an underside of the static portion. 
     
     
         15 . The exercise device of  claim 12 , wherein the slide portion is adapted to move the dynamic portion relative to the static portion along a longitudinal axis. 
     
     
         16 . The exercise device of  claim 12 , wherein the slide portion comprises at least one slide bar, at least one slide bracket, and at least one front slide. 
     
     
         17 . The exercise device of  claim 16 , wherein the at least one slide bracket comprises the second end of the slide portion and is adapted to slidingly receive the at least one slide bar. 
     
     
         18 . The exercise device of  claim 17 , wherein a lock is adapted to make selective contact with the at least one slide bar, and wherein when the lock is engaged, the at least one slide bar is fixed relative to the slide bracket. 
     
     
         19 . The exercise device of  claim 12 , wherein the dynamic portion is adapted to rotate relative to the static portion about the at least one pivot. 
     
     
         20 . An exercise device, comprising:
 a boot,   a slide system, and   a toe cup,   wherein a first portion of the slide system is fixedly attached to a bottom surface of   the boot,   wherein a second portion of the slide system is pivotally attached to the toe cup via a pivot mechanism,   wherein the toe cup is adapted to pivot about the pivot mechanism, and   wherein the slide system is adapted to move the toe cup relative to the boot along a longitudinal axis.
