Abstract
A foldable exercise bench is movable on a frame between a retracted, generally upright storage position and at least one deployed position for supporting a person during exercise. A support foot located adjacent one end of the bench is pivotally mounted for rotation between a first, storage position extending generally alongside the bench when the bench is in the storage position, and a second, support position in which the support foot extends forwardly at an angle to the bench and engages the floor to support the bench in the deployed position. A four-bar connecting linkage between the bench and frame automatically pivots the support foot from the second position to the first, storage position and locks it in the storage position when the bench is folded into the storage position.
