Abstract

A multi-use exercise equipment anchor system adapted for removably mounting in a tubular receptacle disposed in line with a vehicle's chassis or frame. The tubular receptacle may be disposed along the chassis' center line or offset parallel to the chassis' center line. The equipment anchor may comprise a tubular comprising a first end portion angularly joined to a second end portion. The first end portion being at least partially inserted into the tubular receptacle and the second end portion extending from the receptacle and diagonally descending away from the receptacle to a point adjacent the surface on which the vehicle resides. The second end portion may comprise openings and other means for attaching exercise equipment such as elastic bands, a battle rope, or a landmine to the equipment anchor. The anchor may comprise a tubular comprising a square cross section, a rectangular cross section, or a circular cross section.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A multi-use exercise equipment anchor system, comprising:
a motor vehicle mounted tubular receptacle in line with the motor vehicle comprising a an inner wall comprising a radial circumference comprising linear lobes and clefts;
a tubular member having a first end portion a distance from a second end portion;
the first end portion comprising an outer wall comprising a radial circumference comprising linear lobes and clefts at least partially mating with and adapted for insertion and inserted into the motor vehicle mounted tubular receptacle and extending from the tubular receptacle when so inserted with the second end portion free standing, wherein the first end portion is immovably welded to the second end portion along a diagonal joint and the second end portion diagonally declines from the first end portion to a point proximate the surface on which the motor vehicle is positioned.

2. The multi-use exercise equipment anchor system of claim 1 , wherein the vehicle mounted tubular receptacle is mounted a distance from a longitudinal center line of the vehicle.

3. The multi-use exercise equipment anchor system of claim 1 , wherein the first end portion further comprises a circumferential outer diameter different from the a circumferential outer diameter of the second end portion.

4. The multi-use exercise equipment anchor system of claim 1 , wherein the length of the first end portion is less than the length of the second end portion.

5. The multi-use exercise equipment anchor system of claim 1 , wherein the second end portion further comprises a one or more through holes.

6. The multi-use exercise equipment anchor system of claim 1 , wherein the second end portion further comprises one or more blind holes.

7. The multi-use exercise equipment anchor system of claim 1 , wherein the second end portion further comprises one or more threaded holes.

8. The multi-use exercise equipment anchor system of claim 1 , wherein the second end portion further comprises one or more loops.

9. The multi-use exercise equipment anchor system of claim 1 , wherein the second end portion further comprises a socket.

10. The multi-use exercise equipment anchor system of claim 9 , wherein a shaft is inserted into the socket, the shaft comprising exercise elastic bands.

11. The multi-use exercise equipment anchor system of claim 1 , wherein the second end portion further comprises a socket insert.

12. The multi-use exercise equipment anchor system of claim 1 , wherein the first end portion and the second end portion further comprise a gusset plate disposed proximate the respective diagonal joints and a diagonal bend location.

13. The multi-use exercise equipment anchor system of claim 1 , further comprising a swivel landmine fixture removably attached to the second end portion.

14. The multi-use exercise equipment anchor system of claim 1 , further comprising a battle rope removably attached to the second end portion.
