Abstract
A guided weight exercise device has a lower anchor arrangement for readily attaching the lower portion of the device to a supporting wall by pivotal movement of the device about a floor-engaging support upwardly from a slanted position with the lower portion of the unit adjacent the wall. Reverse pivotal movement of the device detaches it from the wall. The floor-engaging support may be a wheel assembly. The guide assembly for the weights comprises a pair of spaced parallel guide bars each having separate upper and lower bar sections, and a coupling which interconnects the guide bars and joins their upper and lower sections. The weight is lifted by a guided carriage and an arrangement of upper and lower sheaves and a cable. The sheaves and cable are located adjacent the wall and completely behind the carriage and the guide bars. The upper sheave is pivoted about a vertical axis, and both upper and lower sheaves are located medially of the guide bars so that the cable can extend away from the device from between the guide bars.
