The horizontal bar

The horizontal bar or high bar is an Artistic Gymnastics apparatus. It is only used by male gymnasts and is made of metal (often steel). Elements on horizontal bar are regulated by the Code of Points. A routine (sequence of 11-15 or more skills) usually include giant swings with various grips (overgrip, undergrip, dorsal grip, mixed grip), in-bar work, turns, release/regrasp skills, and a dismount. Generally, high bar is considered one of the most exciting gymnastics events due to the power gymnasts generate through giant swings and the impressive aerial releases and dismounts which often include multiple flips or twists, and occasionally require the gymnast to travel over the bar.

Doorway mounted horizontal bar - Patent 4529191 (1955 words)
The pivotal links may be engaged with the respective receiving brackets in a depending orientation for a lower position of the horizontal bar or may be engaged with the brackets in an upstanding orientation for a higher position of the horizontal bar.
The doorway mounted horizontal bar is installed in the doorway by first attaching a receiving blanket to each side of the inward-facing surfaces of the doorway, with the larger ends of the brackets facing upwards.
As a load is applied to the horizontal bar it moves downwards slightly and tightens the pivoting link discs into the wedge-shaped cavities of the receiving brackets, permitting the pivoting links to pivotally support the bases of the U-shaped members engaged with the sides of the doorway.
