Abstract:
An exercising device for simulating climbing includes a base with a resisting device secured thereto for attachment to the legs of the user and a vertically adjustable step on the base on which the user would step up and down in opposition to the resisting device.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a multidirectional exerciser for hand, wrist and forearm comprising a handle having an axial opening through which a bolt extends. A spring means is around one end of the bolt disposed against an adjustment ring. A resistance knob is mounted on the adjustment ring. A pressure plate is mounted at the opposite end of the handle between the handle and the head of the bolt. At least one clutch disc is disposed against the pressure plate. A knob is mounted around the pressure plate and clutch disc, mounted for relative rotational movement with respect to the handle. The wrists and hands are exercised by holding the handle in one hand and the knob/grip member in the other hand, and repetitively twisting the handle and knob/grip member in opposite directions. A detachable grip member is mounted over said knob and the detachable grip member further comprises a gyro ring and a squeeze grip strengthener.
Abstract:
An exercise apparatus comprising a lower body exercise machine, at least one upper body exercise module positioned for engagement by a user of the machine, each module adapted to provide resistance to the user's full natural arm swing. Each module comprises an elongated connector, a user engagement connected to one end of the elongated connector for engaging or being engaged by a body appendage of a user, and a resistance mechanism for resisting a tensile force applied to the end of the elongated connector. The apparatus comprises a mechanism for adjusting the incline of the user platform of the lower body exercise machine and/or a mechanism for adjusting an attached railing between a close position suitable for gripping by the user and a far position sufficiently distant from the close position to prevent interference with the full natural arm swing of the user.
Abstract:
A combined toothpaste dispenser and oral hygiene assembly includes a toothpaste dispenser which is preferably a rigid pump. A holder is mounted to the outer component of the pump for detachably housing at least one oral hygiene or personal care tool. Such tool may be a dental floss dispenser and/or toothbrushes. Preferably, a cover is mounted over the top of the dispenser to provide sanitary protection for the dispenser and the personal care tools and to function as a cup as well as enhancing the aesthetic appearance of the assembly.
Abstract:
An energy expenditure garment includes a body portion and limb portions made of a base fabric and incorporating at least one elastic resistance band which is free of any limb extremity anchor structure. The garment includes structure for retarding slippage of the garment during an exercise while still permitting some degree of slippage.
Abstract:
A simulated game using miniature animate or inanimate objects which are intended to move in a direction and/or toward or away from each other includes utilizing a hollow ball or other rolling toy for at least some of the miniature objects. Movement of the toy is controlled by a remote controlled unit. In a preferred practice of the invention a frame is detachably mounted over the toy. The frame supports three dimensional structure simulating the object.
Abstract:
A toothpaste dispenser is in the form of a hollow container having a chamber with toothpaste therein. A dispensing spout communicates with the chamber and includes a cap detachably mounted over the dispensing spout for selectively closing the spout. The container includes externally mounted structure simulating a portion of the human mouth anatomy to function as an indicator for making readily apparent to the user that the dispenser is for the dispensing of toothpaste and to encourage its use particularly by children. The simulated anatomy could be a tooth such as a molar or could be lips or a tongue.
Abstract:
A combination dispenser and personal care tool device is in the form of a rigid container for a bathroom item. A retainer or holder is mounted to the container which receives a personal care tool. In a preferred practice of the invention the container is a toothpaste dispenser and the personal care tool is a toothbrush. In a further aspect of the invention the dispenser includes indicia for indicating the contents level in the dispenser.
Abstract:
Thus, the invention lets the user perform a whole group of buttock developing motions, working the muscle from many different angles. These motions are enhanced, through the addition of resistance. The resistance may be varied by adjusting the length of the cords and/or interchanging cords of different elastic strengths. The exercise device further has cords and a shoulder and/or neck piece attachment.
Abstract:
An aerobic resistance garment for indoor use or warm weather use, includes a shorts section which has elongated resistance elements and which includes shoulder anchoring structure extending upwardly from the waist area of the shorts section for fitting over the user's shoulders. The legs of the shorts terminate above the calves of the user.
