Weight bench incline seat support device

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Referring now to the drawing, in which like reference numerals designate similar parts throughout the various views, there is shown the weight bench incline seat support device 2 of the present invention.
The support device 2 is constructed for use on a weight bench 4 of the type having a pair of spaced vertical extending barbell support arms 6a and 6b.
The barbell support arms 6a and 6b include barbell holders 8a and 8b on the upper ends thereof for receiving and supporting a conventional barbell (not shown).
Preferably, the barbell holders 8a and 8b are vertically adjustable on the barbell support arms 6a and 6b in any suitable manner such that a barbell (not shown) can be supported thereon at various heights.
A bench seat 10 is positioned between the barbell support arms 6a and 6b.
The seat 10 is supported by a first bar 12 which extends longitudinally under the seat 10 and has one end thereof secured to a front leg member 14.
A second bar 16 is secured between the two barbell support arms 6a and 6b near the lower ends thereof.
The other end of the support bar 12 is secured to a midportion of the second bar 16, thereby providing a support structure for the seat 10.
The second bar 16 also stabilizes and holds the barbell support arms 6a and 6b in desired vertical spaced positions.
Preferably, the second bar 16 includes means for enabling the length thereof to be increased and decreased, thereby enabling the distance between the barbell support arms 6a and 6b to be varied to accommodate barbells of various lengths and weights.
The second bar 16 preferably is of telescoping construction.
It may be of any other suitable construction which enables the length thereof to be selectively changed.
The seat 10 includes a substantially horizontally supported main seat portion 18 and a seat back portion 20 which extends between the barbell support arms 6a and 6b.
The seat back portion 20 is pivotally connected with the main seat portion 18 by suitable hinges or the like to enable the seat back portion 20 to be pivoted to a plurality of different incline positions relative to the main seat portion 18
