Overlapping Palm Glove

Номер: US20120017350A1
Автор: David Patrick McCrane
Принадлежит: MCCRANE Inc dba HARBINGER

A glove for gripping an object having an inner glove with a lower palm section of relatively non-stretchable material and an upper palm section of relatively stretchable material that overlie the palm side of the hand of person wearing the glove, a back section that overlies the back of the hand, and stalls for receiving the fingers and thumb. An outer panel overlies substantially the entire palm section and is attached to the inner glove along the upper margin of the outer panel and partially or wholly detached from the inner glove along at least one side of the outer panel. The lower margin of the outer panel is also attached to the inner glove in some embodiments, and in others it is secured to the wrist separately from the inner glove. In some disclosed embodiments, the outer panel is fabricated of elastic material that draws the hand toward a closed position for gripping the object. In others, it is fabricated of a relatively non-stretchable material that is attached at one end to the base portion of the palm section and extends beyond the finger stalls, with a distal end portion of the panel being rolled back and attached to the front sides of the stalls so that it can flatten out and extend farther up the fingers when the hand is curled about the object.

A rotator cuff therapy device assists a user in accomplishing orbital motion of the user's arm to provide a therapeutic effect that strengthens and rehabilitates the arms, shoulders, and related joints and tissues. The device may be adjustable so that an unevenly-weighted rotatable portion can be moved along a desired path with varying speed and effort according to a pre-selected friction setting, and while being held in different positions relative to the user's body. This allows the device to be used by people with varying degrees of dexterity, strength, or injury, while targeting different tissues for therapy.

Exercise apparatus for balance and strength training

Номер: US20130123077A1
Автор: Tim DUNEGAN
Принадлежит: Individual

Exercise apparatus for balance and strength training that enables a user to perform push and pull oriented exercises with the user's hands or feet against the apparatus. Includes a pivot space, for example a slot or area or area with higher or lower areas, wherein the pivot space is configured to couple with a pivot element, for example a ball, cylinder, wheel or any other type of element that may move with respect to the pivot space and exercise interface. The movable pivot element enables force and hence torque required to balance to differ on each side of the apparatus. For example, a user with an injured shoulder may desire to utilize more force to balance during a push-up with the uninjured shoulder and less force and more range of motion to balance with the injured shoulder.

Changing leverage is exerted on the exercise arms as they rotate, thus counteracting the increasing difficulty of the stroke due to decreasing involvement of the tricep muscles. Attached to each exercise arm a hand-grip where gripped area rises from the horizontal to allow lateral movement of wrist through the stroke. The radius of the circular motion is adjusted by the telescoping hand-grip. As the exercise arms are pressed and squeezed together, the upper arms horizontally adduct, the elbows joints extend, and wrist joints move laterally.

Exercise machine for muscle speed and explosiveness

Номер: US20140100083A1

As shown in FIG. 1 the exercise machine of the preferred embodiments includes a mechanical force input interface 1 designed to interface with a user 5 and allow the user 5 to input force 4 into the exercise machine; a force resistor 2 that functions to resist force input into the mechanical force input interface 1 by a user 5 ; and a trigger mechanism 3 that functions to cause a sudden change in the resistance provided against the force input 4 by the user 5 . The exercise machine of the preferred embodiments is designed to exercise muscles in a way that improves muscle speed, explosiveness, or both. Sudden is defined by the Oxford dictionary as “occurring or done quickly and unexpectedly or without warning”—given human reaction times of roughly 500 milliseconds the force reduction is expected to take place in under roughly 500 milliseconds. This is only described as a minimum effective time for sudden operation, not to provide an optimal range of operation. The reduction in force should take place quickly enough that the user will not easily react and reduce their force output, which would be roughly under 500 milliseconds. This exercise machine is does not operate in the same mode or with similarities to a spotting device or machine.

An exercise device and methods for performing physical exercise that improve strength, conditioning, and flexibility of an operator in a functional way using multiple body positions and exercising multiple muscle groups while keeping the spine in a safe and natural position, being simple to manufacture and use, and being compact and portable. The exercise device includes an elongated member, a hollow member, handles, a foot board system, and at least one resistance band. A resistance band is secured to the elongated member and the hollow member, and slidable movement of the hollow member and the elongated member relative to each other by the operator stretches a resistance band, which creates resistance to the movement, thereby exercising, strengthening, and conditioning the operator. The operator may use the exercise device in a number of configurations to perform a number of exercises in a number of body positions. 1. A method for performing physical exercise comprising the steps of an elongated member having a first length, said elongated member having a head end at one end of said first length and a foot board end at the opposite end of said first length, said foot board end comprising the distal end of the apparatus and said head end comprising the proximal end of the apparatus;', 'a hollow member having a second length, said hollow member having a handle end at one end of said second length and a feet end at the opposite end of said second length, said elongated member being positioned within said hollow member, said handle end of said hollow member being positioned at said proximal end of the apparatus, and said elongated member and said hollow member being slidably moveable relative to each other;', 'a pair of handles affixed to a handle clamp, said handle clamp attached to said handle end of said hollow member, said handles extending outwardly from said hollow member;', 'a foot board system comprising a pair of foot straps, a pair of foot holders, and a ...

A device is described which can be placed on the ground in one of several orientations, where each orientation presents steps of different heights to the user. One device has triangular shaped ends which provide three orientations for placing on the ground. Each orientation presents one or two steps parallel to the ground for exercising. A user may thus easily change the device to different step heights by changing the orientation of the device on the ground. 1. An exercise device having several orientations for placing on the ground , said exercise device comprising:a first end having planar edges and a second end having planar edges, where a first planar edge of said first end and a first planar edge of said second end define a first plane, where a second planar edge of said first end and a second planar edge of said second end define a second plane, where a first planar edge of said first end and a first planar edge of said second end define a third plane;one or more elongated members each connected to said first end and said second end and having one or more first surfaces parallel to said first plane, one or more second surfaces parallel to said second plane, and one or more third surfaces parallel to said third plane, such that:1) when the exercise device is placed in a first orientation with said first planar edges of said first end and said second end on the ground, each of said one or more first surfaces is at a corresponding distance from the ground,2) when the exercise device is placed in a second orientation with said second planar edges of said first end and said second end on the ground, each of said one or more second surfaces is at a corresponding distance from the ground, and3) when the exercise device is placed in a third orientation with said third planar edges of said first end and said second end on the ground, each of said one or more third surfaces is at a corresponding distance from the ground.2. The exercise device of claim 1 , wherein claim ...
