Patent application number | Description | Published |
20130231229 | Stability Ball Rapid Inflation System - A stability ball inflation and deflation system includes a stability ball with a bore, and a plug within the bore walls. An air-control module engaged within the axial channel of the plug selectively allows air to pass in one or both directions. The air-control module includes a one-way air valve, and a cap releasably sealable to the plug. An airway extending from the one-way valve provides fluid communication with the interior of the stability ball. An inflator adapted to engage the one-way air valve may be removably coupled to the air valve, and provide air passages to direct air from a pressurized air cartridge into the stability ball. | 09-05-2013 |
20140106944 | Adjustable Exercise Devices - Adjustable-weight exercise devices are disclosed. An example adjustable-weight exercise device may include an exercise device body; a generally cylindrical cavity extending into the exercise device body and comprising at least one engagement feature; and a generally cylindrical weight insert configured to be slidably received the cavity and comprising a corresponding engagement feature. The engagement feature and the corresponding engagement feature may be configured to releasably engage each other to selectively retain the generally cylindrical weight insert within the generally cylindrical cavity. | 04-17-2014 |
20140128786 | Massage Roller - A massage apparatus includes coaxially nested rollers, which may be frictionally engaged. Each roller includes a tubular frame, raised rolling bands, and a plurality of massaging protuberances, wherein the height of the bands is at least the height of the protuberances. The protuberances on each nested roller may be identical, but differ from the protuberances on each of the other rollers. Protuberances may be smaller on each successively nested roller. The bands and protuberances may be flexible and pliable, and made from rubber, silicone, neoprene or foam. The bands and protuberances may be formed directly in a sleeve covering the tubular frame. A removable cap may cover each end of the nested rollers. | 05-08-2014 |
20140221178 | Quick Exchange Handle - The resistance band system of the disclosure includes one or more resistance bands, and a pair of handles which secure the ends of the one or more resistance bands. Each handle locks onto one of the ends of each resistance band. The handle is adapted to grip the resistance band with greater force when force is applied to the resistance band, such as when it is in use. The handle unlocks to release the ends of one or more of the resistance bands from the handles for changing of one or more of the resistance bands. | 08-07-2014 |
20140364244 | Golf Game and Training Apparatus - This disclosure is drawn to methods and apparatuses related to a golf game and training apparatus. Specifically, the disclosed apparatus relates to a ramped plane with a plurality of holes sized to hold golf balls. Some example apparatuses may include at least one ramped plane with a leading end in contact with a playing surface and rising at an angle to a trailing end; a plurality of holes located on the surface of the at least one ramped plane sized to allow golf balls to rest partially in each of the plurality of holes; where the plurality of holes are arranged according to a scoring system; a receptacle sized to contain a plurality of golf balls, where the receptacle is coupled to the bottom surface of the ramped plane; and at least one support extending from the at least one ramped plane and elevating the trailing end above the playing surface. | 12-11-2014 |
20150024907 | Pull-Up Bar - An apparatus for exercising the upper body, including a frame and handles. The frame is formed with a bar and a connection assembly. Two handles slide in their respective half of the bar using rollers, or bearings. The handles may also swing, or swivel for a greater range of motion. This apparatus can be mounted over a door or on a wall for pull-ups, on a floor mount for push-ups, or on an exercise apparatus with a pulley system for shoulder presses. The exercise apparatus is designed to more effectively work out the large muscle groups of the back and arms. | 01-22-2015 |
20150024911 | Stability Bar System - A stability bar system is disclosed for use in exercising and muscle toning. The system provides an unstable base to engage core muscles while performing exercises. The bar has a central attachment point, and multiple off-center attachment points on which to attach resistance tubing, bands, cables, or straps. The body of the bar is made from rigid plastic or metal, and allows for diverse exercises by providing interchangeable attachments, and multiple configurations, to vary stability and resistance. The bar may also be used to perform body weight exercises. The stability bar system is designed to allow an exerciser to engage core muscles while focusing on other, primary muscles. | 01-22-2015 |
20150321048 | Rope Machine - The present disclosure provides a rope-type conditioning/exercise apparatus that provides movements and resistance similar to prior devices requiring significantly longer ropes by providing ropes that are connected to sliders on sliding tubes, wherein the resistance to upward and downward movement of the sliders can be adjusted as desired by a user to create. | 11-12-2015 |
