A safety jump training apparatus designed for safely mounting on a wall to permit an athlete to safely measure their vertical leap. The safety jump training apparatus includes a jump measurement device and a rotating support to rotably attach the measurement device to a mounting plate, as well as numerous safety features. The safety features include cooperating locking pin recesses and a locking pin to secure the apparatus in either an operating position or a storage position, a lock to adjustably secure the vertical height of the measurement device, a translation resistor to control the movement of the measurement device when the lock is disengaged, a safety position limiter to ensure that the measurement device is always a predetermined distance above the ground, and a safety cover to safely contain majority of the apparatus. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The safety jump training apparatus of the instant invention enables a significant advance in the state of the art.
The preferred embodiments of the apparatus accomplish this by new and novel arrangements of elements and methods that are configured in unique and novel ways and which demonstrate previously unavailable but preferred and desirable capabilities.
The detailed description set forth below in connection with the drawings is intended merely as a description of the presently preferred embodiments of the invention, and is not intended to represent the only form in which the present invention may be constructed or utilized.
The description sets forth the designs, functions, means, and methods of implementing the invention in connection with the illustrated embodiments.
It is to be understood, however, that the same or equivalent functions and features may be accomplished by different embodiments that are also intended to be encompassed within the spirit and scope of the invention.
Referring to FIG.
1, the safety jump training apparatus 50 of the present invention is one designed for safely mounting on a wall and permits an athlete to safely measure their vertical leap.
The apparatus 50 has two positions; an operating position and a storage position.
When the apparatus 50 is in the operating position it is substantially orthogonal to the mounting wall and provides the athlete exceptional access to the apparatus 50 while also minimizing the risk of loose weights being placed in the vicinity of the apparatus 50 that may cause injury to the athlete, as is common with floor-mounted units.
The apparatus 50 is substantially parallel to the wall when in the storage position thereby removing the apparatus 50 from areas subject to walking traffic, or other athletic events, and minimizing the risk of inadvertent contact.
The safety jump training apparatus 50 includes a jump measurement device 500 and a rotating support 300 to attach the measurement device 500 to a mounting plate 100, as well as numerous safety features
