Portable frame for doorway mounting of a trapeze bar

Claim 1

In combination, a portable doorway mounting frame assembly, a body suspension device and a doorway formed of laterally opposed vertical door frame beams and having vertical, door molding strips fixed to said vertical door frame beams to define thin vertical shoulders, said body suspension device comprising: a horizontal, cylindrical trapeze bar, a pair of parallel vertical straps, one end of each strap being fixedly secured to said cylindrical trapeze bar at an axially displaced position relative to the other and spaced from each other by a distance greater than the width of a human body in its pelvic region, hooks carried by the upper ends of said straps, at least one platform member rotatably disposed on said trapeze bar and having at least one flat padded face which face when directed upwardly serving to support the weight of a person's body when his upper thighs are brought into horizontal contact with said face and with a portion of the body above the pelvic region disposed in a pendent position downwardly from one of said platform face, such that with the legs of the body being bent back at the knees at an angle of approximately 45°, the sole of each foot may be placed in contact with one of said straps, said portable doorway mounting frame assembly comprising: a pair of sectional vertical doorway riser tubes, said riser tubes contacting respective door frame beams and said strip shoulders, concentric telescoping cylindrical tube defining a telescoping frame cross bar, circular holes within the upper ends of said riser tubes on the sides facing each other and receiving respective ends of said telescoping frame cross bar tubes such that with one cross bar tube extended relative to the other the sides of doorway riser tubes are positioned in abutment with opposed vertical door frame beams to maintain frame assembly stability, said hooks coupled to the ends of said straps overlying said concentric telescoping tubes of said telescoping frame cross bar to effect suspension of said body suspension device with said trapeze bar horizontal, said trapeze bar being of a width such that the ends of said trapeze bar extend to each side, beyond said vertical door frame beams, whereby the ends of the trapeze bar in extending to each side beyond the vertical door frame beam act in conjunction with the vertical door molding strips to provide stability to the portable doorway mounting frame assembly and prevent swinging of the trapeze bar during use.
