摘要

An adjustable vault apparatus for use on a ground surface includes a base and a pair of linear actuators mounted vertically at opposing sides thereof. Each linear actuator is adapted to move a bar support thereof vertically between a lowered position and a raised position. The bar supports are mutually opposing and adapted to support one end of an elongated jump bar at a bar trough thereof, by gravity. Each linear actuator moves the bar support in accordance to a control circuit electrically connected with each linear actuator and a power source. A control signal received by the control circuit, either wirelessly or by wired connection, causes the control circuit to actuate each linear actuator to either raise or lower each bar support in unison, and the jump bar.

1. An adjustable vault apparatus for use on a ground surface, comprising:
a base having a width and a length for resting on the ground surface in a substantially horizontal orientation; a pair of linear actuators mounted in a substantially vertical orientation with the base at opposing sides thereof, each linear actuator adapted to move each of a bar support of an upper set of bar supports thereof vertically between a lowered and a raised position in accordance to a control circuit electrically connected with each linear actuator and a power source, each bar support facing the other and adapted to support an elongated jump bar at a bar trough thereof by gravity therebetween; the control circuit adapted to receive an adjustment signal for either raising or lowering the at least one jump bar; a lower set of bar supports slidably engaged with the upper set of bar supports, wherein movement of the lower set of bar supports is caused by movement of the upper set of bar supports.
