Abstract

An exercise storage system includes a storage compartment including at least one storage element. Exercise equipment is stored on the storage elements. A door is connected to the storage compartment with a hinge such that the viewing angle of the door is adjustable. A display on the door includes a backlit display and a mirrored display. A user may select exercise equipment from the storage compartment and perform an exercise activity while viewing the display.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An exercise storage system, comprising:
a storage compartment having a first side and a second side;
a door;
a display connected to the door, the display including a mirrored surface and a backlit display behind the mirrored surface; and
a hinge connecting the storage compartment to the door, the hinge including:
a first lateral member rotatably connected with a wall shaft having a first axis of rotation at the first side of the storage compartment and rotatably connected with a door shaft to the door with a second axis of rotation at the door; and
a second lateral member rotatably connected with the wall shaft to the first side of the storage compartment and rotatably connected with the door shaft to the door.

2. The exercise storage system of claim 1 , wherein the hinge is connected to the door at a position between a first end of the door and a second end of the door.

3. The exercise storage system of claim 1 , wherein the display is connected to an outer face of the door.

4. The exercise storage system of claim 1 , wherein the display has a vertically adjustable position.

5. The exercise storage system of claim 4 , wherein the display is connected to the door with a linear motor, and the display is vertically movable on the door with the linear motor.

6. The exercise storage system of claim 1 , wherein a viewing angle of the display is adjustable.

7. The exercise storage system of claim 1 , wherein the mirrored surface is a one-way mirror such that a reflection and the backlit display are both visible on the mirrored surface.

8. The exercise storage system of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the display is a touchscreen display.

9. The exercise storage system of claim 1 , wherein the storage compartment includes a plurality of storage features.

10. The exercise storage system of claim 1 , wherein the door latches to an upper portion of the storage compartment.

11. The exercise storage system of claim 1 , wherein in an open position, the display is parallel and faces the same direction as an opening of the storage compartment.

12. The exercise storage system of claim 11 , wherein in the open position, the display does not overlap any portion of the storage compartment.

13. The exercise storage system of claim 1 , wherein the hinge includes a plurality of lateral members that extend between the first axis of rotation and the second axis of rotation.

14. An exercise storage system, comprising:
a storage compartment;
a door;
a display connected to the door, the display including a mirrored surface; and
a hinge connecting the door to the storage compartment, the hinge including:
a first lateral member rotatably connected to a wall of the storage compartment with a wall shaft having a first axis of rotation at the wall shaft and rotatably connected to the door with a door shaft having a second axis of rotation; and
a second lateral member rotatably connected to the wall shaft and the door shaft.

15. The exercise storage system of claim 14 , wherein the first lateral member is connected to the second lateral member by a wall shaft at the storage compartment.

16. The exercise storage system of claim 15 , wherein the wall shaft is rotatably connected to the wall of the storage compartment.

17. The exercise storage system of claim 14 , wherein the second lateral member is connected to the second lateral member by a door shaft at the door.

18. The exercise storage system of claim 17 , wherein the door shaft is rotatably connected to the door.

19. An exercise storage system, comprising:
a storage compartment having a first side, and a second side;
a door;
a display connected to the door with a sliding connection such that a vertical position of the display on the door is adjustable, wherein the display includes a mirrored surface; and
a hinge connecting the storage compartment to the door, the hinge including
a first lateral member rotatably connected with a wall shaft having a first axis of rotation to the first side of the storage compartment and rotatably connected with a door shaft to the door with a second axis of rotation; and
a second lateral member rotatably connected with the wall shaft to the first side of the storage compartment and rotatably connected with the door shaft to the door.

20. The exercise storage system of claim 19 , wherein the mirrored surface is a one-way mirror such that a reflection and a backlit display are both visible on the mirrored surface.
