Abstract

A pegboard substrate is provided having holes on a surface thereof. The holes of the pegboard are configured to receive a plurality of components that interchangeably fit into the pegboard substrate to form a stretching station. The plurality of components may include pegs directly received in the holes and a seat, a handle, or a platform connected to at least one peg. The pegboard substrate together with the plurality of components received by the holes forms a modular stretching station for an individual to stretch any number of body parts to warm-up muscles prior to engaging in a physical activity. The pegboard substrate may be large enough to accommodate several stretching stations thereby forming a circuit such that a group of individuals can use the apparatus to stretch simultaneously. Add-on items may be provided including: vending machines, informational or marketing displays, trash cans, hand wipe dispensers, and the like.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A modular station for stretching muscles prior to engaging in a sport, comprising a pegboard substrate and a plurality of components configured to interchangeably fit into the pegboard substrate to form a stretching station. 
     
     
         2 . The modular station of  claim 1 , further comprising two vertical columnar supports separated by a distance, the distance being occupied by the pegboard substrate, the pegboard substrate having a plurality of sides, each of two of said plurality of sides secured to a different one of the two vertical columnar supports. 
     
     
         3 . The modular station of  claim 2 , further comprising a canopy configured to shield an individual using the station from sun and rain while using the modular station, the canopy disposed above the pegboard substrate and the two vertical columnar supports, the canopy being supported by the two vertical columnar supports. 
     
     
         4 . The modular station of  claim 1 , wherein the stretching station is configured to stretch at least one element selected from the group consisting of: torso and hips. 
     
     
         5 . The modular station of  claim 1 , wherein the stretching station is configured to stretch at least one element selected from the group consisting of: arms, elbows, and wrists. 
     
     
         6 . The modular station of  claim 1 , wherein the stretching station is configured to stretch at least one element selected from the group consisting of: legs, knees, and ankles. 
     
     
         7 . The modular station of  claim 1 , wherein the stretching station is configured to stretch a back of an individual using the station. 
     
     
         8 . The modular station of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of components includes a plurality of pegs receivable by a plurality of holes in the pegboard substrate. 
     
     
         9 . The modular station of  claim 8 , wherein at least one peg disposed in a first hole of said plurality of holes in the pegboard substrate can be transferred to a second hole thereby adjusting at least one physical dimension of the stretching station to accommodate users of different sizes. 
     
     
         10 . The modular station of  claim 8 , the plurality of components also including a seat for a user to sit on while stretching, the seat connected to one of said plurality of pegs. 
     
     
         11 . The modular station of  claim 8 , the plurality of components also including a handle for a user to grip while stretching, the handle connected to one of said plurality of pegs. 
     
     
         12 . The modular station of  claim 8 , the plurality of components also including a platform configured to support a body part of an individual using the apparatus, the platform connected to one of said plurality of pegs. 
     
     
         13 . A modular circuit for a plurality of individuals to simultaneously stretch muscles prior to engaging in a sport, comprising a plurality of the modular stations of  claim 1 . 
     
     
         14 . The modular circuit of  claim 13 , each station sharing the same pegboard substrate or a plurality of interconnected pegboard substrates. 
     
     
         15 . The modular circuit of  claim 14 , further comprising two vertical columnar supports separated by a distance, the distance being occupied by the pegboard substrate(s), the pegboard substrate(s) having a plurality of sides, each of two of said plurality of sides secured to a different one of the two vertical columnar supports. 
     
     
         16 . The modular circuit of  claim 15 , further comprising a canopy configured to shield a plurality of individuals using the station from sun and rain while using the modular station, the canopy disposed above the pegboard substrate(s) and the two vertical columnar supports, the canopy being supported by the two vertical columnar supports. 
     
     
         17 . The modular circuit of  claim 15 , further comprising at least one of a receptacle and a dispenser supported by at least one of the two vertical columnar supports, the receptacle or the dispenser oriented upon the vertical columnar support so as not to interfere with any of the stations. 
     
     
         18 . The modular circuit of  claim 13 , further comprising at least one display positioned on a surface of the pegboard substrate, the display configured to communicate information to a plurality of individuals using the circuit. 
     
     
         19 . The modular circuit of  claim 14 , wherein the common pegboard substrate or the plurality of interconnected pegboard substrates has a plurality of holes on at least two faces of the substrate(s) to accommodate modular stretching stations facing in different directions.
