Abstract

A self-standing weighted pole system for providing convenient stabilization and additional weight for an exerciser. The self-standing weighted pole system generally includes an elongated pole having a lower end and an upper end, and a base attached to the lower end of the pole. The base includes an outer end that is broader than the pole to support the pole in a substantially vertically orientated self-standing manner.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A self-standing exercise pole, comprising:
a pole having a lower end and an upper end, wherein the pole is comprised of an elongated structure;
wherein the pole is comprised of a straight structure;
a first base attached to the upper end of the pole, wherein the first base includes an outer end that is broader than the pole, and wherein the first base is adapted to support the pole in a substantially vertically orientated self-standing manner when positioned upon a floor;
wherein the first base tapers from the outer end of the first base to the pole;
wherein the outer end of the first base includes a plurality of first extended portions, wherein the plurality of first extended portions extend outwardly from a center of the first base a distance greater than portions of the outer end between the plurality of first extended portions;
a first hand grip attached to the pole near the first base;
a second base attached to the lower end of the pole, wherein the second base includes an outer end that is broader than the pole, and wherein the second base is adapted to support the pole in a substantially vertically orientated self-standing manner when positioned upon a floor; and
wherein the second base tapers from the outer end of the second base to the pole;
a second hand grip attached to the pole near the second base.

2. The self-standing exercise pole of claim 1 , wherein the pole is comprised of a solid structure.

3. The self-standing exercise pole of claim 1 , wherein the pole has a weight of between 5 pounds to 10 pounds.

4. The self-standing exercise pole of claim 1 , wherein the pole, the first base and the second base have a combined length of between 50 inches to 54 inches.

5. The self-standing exercise pole of claim 1 , wherein the first hand grip and the second hand grip are comprised of a gripping sleeve positioned upon the pole.

6. The self-standing exercise pole of claim 1 , wherein the lower end is comprised of a ball and wherein the second base includes a socket that the ball is pivotally positioned within.

7. The self-standing exercise pole of claim 1 , wherein the second base includes a weight.

8. The self-standing exercise pole of claim 1 , wherein the outer end of the second base is comprised of a flat surface.

9. The self-standing exercise pole of claim 1 , wherein the outer end of the second base is comprised of a gripping material that is adapted to frictionally engage a floor.

10. The self-standing exercise pole of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of first extended portions each have a rounded distal end.

11. The self-standing exercise pole of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of first extended portions each have a pointed distal end.

12. A self-standing exercise pole, comprising:
a pole having a lower end and an upper end, wherein the pole is comprised of an elongated structure;
wherein the pole is comprised of a straight structure;
a first base attached to the upper end of the pole, wherein the first base includes an outer end that is broader than the pole, and wherein the first base is adapted to support the pole in a substantially vertically orientated self-standing manner when positioned upon a floor;
wherein the first base tapers from the outer end of the first base to the pole;
wherein the outer end of the first base includes a plurality of first extended portions, wherein the plurality of first extended portions extend outwardly from a center of the first base a distance greater than portions of the outer end between the plurality of first extended portions;
a first hand grip attached to the pole near the first base;
a second base attached to the lower end of the pole, wherein the second base includes an outer end that is broader than the pole, and wherein the second base is adapted to support the pole in a substantially vertically orientated self-standing manner when positioned upon a floor; and
wherein the second base tapers from the outer end of the second base to the pole;
a second hand grip attached to the pole near the second base;
wherein the first hand grip and the second hand grip are comprised of a gripping sleeve positioned upon the pole;
wherein the outer end of the first base and the outer end of the second base are each comprised of a gripping material that is adapted to frictionally engage a floor.

13. The self-standing exercise pole of claim 12 , wherein the pole is comprised of a solid structure.

14. The self-standing exercise pole of claim 12 , wherein the pole has a weight of between 5 pounds to 10 pounds.

15. The self-standing exercise pole of claim 12 , wherein the pole, the first base and the second base have a combined length of between 50 inches to 54 inches.

16. The self-standing exercise pole of claim 12 , wherein the lower end is comprised of a ball and wherein the second base includes a socket that the ball is pivotally positioned within.

17. The self-standing exercise pole of claim 12 , wherein the second base includes a weight.

18. The self-standing exercise pole of claim 12 , wherein the outer end of the second base is comprised of a flat surface.

19. The self-standing exercise pole of claim 12 , wherein the plurality of first extended portions each have a rounded distal end.

20. The self-standing exercise pole of claim 12 , wherein the plurality of first extended portions each have a pointed distal end.
